THE LATEST SCIENTIFIC KROWL-
EDGE ON FOOD AND DIGESTION.

The real cause OF most OF our diseases
is simply an inability TO digest food. This
induces thinness. weakness, loss OF flesh
and fat, loss Of vitality, wasting away.
Loss Of flesh and vitality means con-
slant liability to sickness. Wasting away
is consumption.
II getting thin is what ais you. there is
only one thing TO dO-get lat. The only
way 10 do IL is TO take something which
will help your stomach and stimulate il TO
do its work.
II you are tired out you DO not like to
move your legs or arms II your stomach
is tired it does not like 10 digest. It cannot
do its work.
To eat. or even TO eat with relish does
not necessarily mean that one is being
nourished. Strength. vitality and flesh
are the true indications.
Getting thin is a sign that YOU need the
Shaker Digestive Cordial. You would not
be getting thin II you could digest your
food.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial not only
contains artificially digested food, but it
will digest other foods in the stomach
A single 10 cent bottle will show whether
or not Il Is going 10 meet the conditions of
your case, and If so. its continued use
may be depended ON TO effect a cure. All
druggists keep II in stock.

legged, Cuban f1ibustering expedition was
affirmed by the supreme court Of the
United States. surrendered himself in the
United States district court here to-day
for the purpose of completing his sentence
of one year and four months.
Capt Ker of the counsel for the defense
objected TO the form of order which had
been prepared for Capt Wiborg's recon-
mitment and which called for an impris-
onment of one year, three months and
twenty-eiRht days. Lawyer Ker stated
that his client had been imprisoned two
days in March and he asked that the
time that had elapsed from the date of
the writ of error taken 10 the supreme
court until now be deducted, thus shorten
ing the time of actual imprisonment.
Judge Butler decided adversely, however.
Then Capt. Ker moved that the order
day" This was done and the captains
unexpired term is reduced one day. This
afternoon ne was taken to the eastern
penitentiary.
During the discussion Capt Ker spoke
loudly This led Judge Butler to re-
mark that 1t was a warm day and that
there was no need for the counsellor or
himself to get excited.

They Seem Afraid TO Go Into "A Sill
yer Caucus to Select a Candidate.
Chicago, July AT a meeting of the
Iowa delegates this morning a communi-
cation was received from Senator Jones of
Arkansas, asking the Iowa men II they
would go into a conference of silver men
to select a nominee for President. The del
egates unanimously decided to refer the
request TO the executive committee. which
was in effect tabling of the communica-
ton.
National Committeeman Richardson pre-
scented his resignation, and c. A. Walsh
was chosen to succeed him.
The Illinois delegation this morning when
polled formally gave 43 votes for instruct
ing for Bland to one against. There were
four absentees. The unit rule prevails and
this means As votes for the Missouri can
didate.
The South Carolina delegation did not
consider the subject OF candidates. One of
the delegates said: Things here are just
now in suchsa chaotic condition that 1t is
impossible TO say what is the best thing
to do, and who Is the best man. We are in
favor of the man who will interpret the
platform properly. We did not discuss the
subject of presidential nominees but will
throw our votes TO the strongest and best
man. whoever he may be.
There was some sharp discussion of
the CAUCUS QucSLAou III the hSlAiid h1A-
egation last night. In this state, as in
others, the Bland men appeared to be ag-
gressive and determined to force the eau
Gus This is accepted by many as an ev-
idence of the belief that the Bland men
control the situation and fear no COM
bination. When the vote was taken eleven
were in favor of the caucus; nine were
against II and four were absent OWNS
to the absentees, the vote was not con-
sidered as final, and further action will
probably be had.

the PresidentiaI nomination.
Chicago, Ill, July 6.-The delegations
from the two Carolinas came into Chi
cago separately, although starting on their
tourney together. The split occurred at
Cincinnati, owing TO different transpor-
tation arrangements.
The North Carolina delegates, thirty
strong, came in over the Big Four road
at $40 o'clock. Congressman Fred Wood
ward headed thes delegation. Col. John
r. Webster and Maj F. Hale, ex-consul
to Manchester, are prominent among the
delegates.
The South Carolinians have adopted the
slogan '16-to-l or bust" Gov. John Carey
Evans, heading twenty South Carolina
delegates, reached the city over the Mo
non route. Judge Walter Clarke of the
South Carolina supreme bench, who has
been a prominent writer of silver theo-
ries, is in the delegation, and his col
leagues say he will be a candidate for the
vice presidential nomination. These del
egates say North Carolina will support
Justice Clark, in this ambition. They
say he is a dark horse, but will be a win
ner. It is said conhdentially among both
Carolina delegates that Senator Tillman's
name will be presented for a compliment
arv vote on the first ballot, but the dele
lima expect him to stay in the race after
the second ballot.
South Cardinals delegates went into
caucus tonight and discussed the presi-
Dental question in all its bearings. The
delegation is uninstructed. except for sill
yer and there is a great variety of opinion
as to the best candidate to vote for. Sew
eral of the delegates expressed the opinion
that the candidate situation was in a big
muddle and favored waiting until after

ed by Omcers.
Cusseta. Ca. July 6.-John Hunt. ne
gro. was arrested and lodged in Jail here
early this morning, charged with attempt
ing a felonious assault upon Mrs. John
r. stockdale, a highly respected lady,
who resides at Eelbeck, in the eastern
portion of this (Chattahoochee) county.
The crime was committed last Satur-
day night late. and had It not been for
the presence of the woman's husband,
who was sleeping in an adjoining room,
the brute would undoubtedly have ac-
complished his purpose.
The negro effected an entrance to the
lady's room by way of a window, which
he raised so noiselessly that none OF the
occupants Of the house were aroused I'M
til thcy were awakened by his intended
victims screams. Mrs. Stockdale was not
aware OF the fiends presence until he
had seized her. Mr.. Stockdale arrived
upon the scene Just In time to
made his exit through the window. The
alarm was given Immediately and posse
was organized and gave chase. There
was no doubt as to the identity OF the
scoundrel, as Mrs Stockdale recognized
him while in the room, and If he had been
captured by the posse he would have been
accorded a speedy trial with Judge Lynch
presiding. Fortunately the prisoner fell
into the hands Of two officers, instead Of
the posse.
There has been considerable talk of
lynching. and 1t would surprise no one If
Hunts cell Is found vacant in the morn
ing, as the indignation is very high in
the vicinity Of Eelbeck. where the crime
was committed. The negro admitted that
he was in the room. but claims that his
presence was due to the fact that he was
intoxicated at the time.

SYMPATHY FOR CUBA.
The Plank Apt to BE Stronger Than
That of the Republicans.

Chicago, July 6-The following Cuban
plank is in the hands of a dozen mem
bers of the committee on resolutions who
have signified their approval of it and to-
morrow ii will be presented TO the full
committee for incorporation in the plat
form: 1--WE extend our sympathy 10 re
people of Cuba in their heroic struggle
against the corrupt and cruel political
system which has oppressed and impoy-
erished them, and we look forward with
confidence to the day when the new re-
public shalhtake its place among the ma
tons of the earth.
THE Spanish government is no longer
capable of maintaining its authority IN
the island of Cuba, or of fulfilling Its
treaty obligations and the destruction of
American property in the island. the re-
peated Imprisonment of American citi-
zens without due process OF law, the
humiliation of American commerce, the
frequent alarms on our coast and the
constant menace to our peace, impose
upon the government of the United States
the duty of restoring order in Cuba. We,
therefore, favor the prompt interpositlon
of our government and believe that gov
eminent satisfactory to the Cuban peo-
pie should be established as guarantee
of permanent peace"
1t is stronger than the plank adopted at
st. Louis, which only called for the
friendly offices of the government. Ex-
Speaker Sulzer of the New York assem-
bly,, one of the delegates from that state
has added a paragraph to the plank cali
ing for the recognition of Cuban bellge-
rency, but that is believed by the cuban
plank custodians to be inconsistent with
the government Intervention" section,
and IL is not likely to be included.

The steamer Si Peten CapslAes IN a

New Orleans, July 6-The steamer FL
Peten, Capt Charles F. Hardie, bound
for Guatemala viAMexico, left here yes
terday morning In company with the
steamship Franklin, the latter having two
steel barges in tow. When the convoy ar
rived at the lower reaches of the river,
very bad weather was encountered and a
heavy sea was running. When thirty-five
miles southwest OF South Pass, the Ell
Peten became unmanageable, capsized
and went down. The Franklin stood by

were put on board the tow boat Chamber
lain and arrived here to-day, the Frank
lin proceeding on her way.
The Ell Peten was built at Jacksonville,
Ind, and was valued at $4,000. Innumer-
able attempts have been made to convey
steamboats, to Mexican and Central
American ports in the same way that the
FL Peten tried and the vast majority
have met with similar accidents.

sILvERITEs AND THE CHAIRMAN.
Meeting of the Steering Committee
of the Faction.


Chicago, July 6.-The committee appoint
ed by the silver men in the interest of Sc
Letting a temporary chairman for the con-
vention, held final conference this morn
ing and decided that they would appear
before the national committee in formal
manner and suggest a candidate for that
Office. The meeting was attended by the
full membership and the whole situation
was again very carefully gone over. Mean
while the silver members of the national
committee had been seen and another pro-
gramme agreed upon. Senator Jones of
Arkansas, acting as spokesman for the sill
yer committee, II was determined, should
appear before the national committee and
make a statement that the silver men had
no name to suggest. but that they would
be ready to abide by such action as the sill
eide upon. This was done to avoid the ap-
pearance of dictat!on by the silver men.
and is another evidence of the growing
spirit of Cancellation that has been mani
tested since yesterday.
The silver minority of the national COM
m!ttee, II is said, will see to 1t that a thor
ough silver man is named.
There was a desire on the part of quite a
number for Senator Blackburn to accept
the place, but the minority of the COM
mittee will in all probability present the
name of Senator Daniel of Virginia, as
Senator Blackburn has expressed a pre-
ference for the Virginia senator. Senator
White of California was asked to take the
place last night, but declined to permit his
name to be used in that connection. The
silver men now regard II as assured,
that Senator Daniel will be the man to cali
the national convention to order as tenn
porary chairman.

Daniel was defeated by Senator Hill Tor
temporary chairman smith M. weed

accomplished by the advance guard OF the
New York gold men, who had come to
Chicago last Friday. He said that when
they arrived the IeellnS against Heih was
so bitter that it was a question whether
they were to be permitted to go into the
convention at ALL 1t was decided to as
sess each delegate SIS for the expenses of
the delegation, and a big pile of money
soon accumulated on the desk of the pre-
siding officer.

tended to present his Cuban plank for en-
dorsement but he changed his mind and
will nresent IL instead to the general COM
