SHAKERS AND DOCTORS TALK
TOGETHER.

In his able work entitled 'Longev-
ity," published a few years ago, DR..
John Gardner, of England, predicts
that a vegetable agent Will yet be
found that will so retard those changes
that bring about old age as to prolong
human life much beyond the present
limit.
Acting, perhaps, upon the impulse
produced by this thought, many emil
nent physicians have called from time
to time upon the Shakers of Mt. Leba-
non, to inquire of them concerning the
secrets of medicinal plants, in which
these sincere, supplemented and God
fearing people are known to be wise
and skilful beyond all other men.
The Shakers willingly told what they
had learned, and in return received
from their visitors much valuable in
formation about disease; which they
at once made practical use of. The
most important point was that if a
genuine and certain remedy could be
found for indigestion and dyspepsia.
and the ailments growing out of it,
long step would be taken in the right
direction. Old age, said these physi-
clans, begins in a failure of digestion,
and so do most diseases at any and all
periods of life. The result of these
consultations was the discovery by
the Shakers of the desired specific,
made wholly from herbs, and now
known as Shaker Digestive Cordial.
Its action is magical and worthy of
its origin.
Where there is distress after eating,
heartburn, sick headache, bad taste in
the mouth, biliousness, weakness and
WEAKNESS. cold hands and feet, aver
sion to food, nervousness, or any other
symptom of dyspepsia, the Cordial will
nrove ITS curative virtues. Behind 1t
is the reputation of a people who have
never defrauded or deceived their fell
lowmen.
In order. To test whether this remedy
is adapted to your case at practically
no cost, YOU may procure a trial bottle
for ten cents OF almost any druggist

TERRIBLE CRIME NEAR HAMLET.
A Farmer Beaten Into Insensibility,
His Wife Outraged by Negroes.

A Farmer Beaten Into lnsensIDlllty,
His Wife Outraged by Negroes.
A report reached here yesterday that
two negro railroad employees went to
the house of farmer near Hamlet,
induced him to follow them some dis
lance from the house and beat him
into insensibility, leaving him for dead.
They then went back to the house
where they attacked the farmers wife,
stifled her screams and outraged her.
After this terrible crime they left
the farmhouse, and ran off toward
the swamps.
That occurred, according to the re-
port, Sunday night
Early yesterday morning the news
of the terrible affair reached Hamlet,
only few miles distant.
Hunting parties were organized, and
the swamps and woods in the vicinity
are being secured by the hunters.
IF the scoundrels are discovered, they
will likely meet a terrible vengeance.

MURDERERs OF PEARL BRYAN
Thousands Of Persons, Mostly Women,
View Them in Jail.

Cincinnati, Feb. 23.-When the head
less body of Pearl Bryan was discovered
near Fort Thomas on February 1, the
first feeling was chill of horror at the
revolving devilishness of the crime. A
few days later, when the confessed
partners in it-Scott Jackson and Al
ONO Walling, not to mention the lad
William WOod-Were arrested, excite
ment became almost furious.
Day by day details of the crime were
developed, intensified the horror and
inflamed public Indignation. The un-
doubted discovery of the participants,
as we'll as the prospect Of speedily COM
hitting them in the hands of the law
has had the effect of allaying the i'm
pulsive Impotence of public sentt~
ment.
During the past week in the absence
OF new and striking developments, pub
lie interest in the accused men. Jackson
and Walling. has assumed a new phase.
That fascination which mystery has
for the masses has drawn visitors to
the jail by the thousands every day
Beginning on Monday of last week
the flow to the Jail Of curious human
ity was continuous from morning until
night
on last Thursday the number had
grown to 1000, on Friday it increased
to 1900
The jailer and his guards were abso-
lutely worn out in letting people in and
out. This became SO burdensome that
ON and after Saturday all visitors were
excluded
a limit was placed upon the time
visitors were permitted to stay.
At intervals of every few minutes the
jail was cleared and q new lot of sight
seers We're admitted. In the corridors
of the Jail visitors were arranged in
two lines facing inward and forming
a lane through which the two chief prie-
oners We're led slowly one at time for
public inspection, like horses at auction
| before a group of buyers.
Both Jackson and Walling stood this
ordeal while it lasted with steady nerve
and firm steps. WEAKNESS and depres-
sion came to both at the close Of the
day, after this was over. The visitors
usually simply looked at the prisoners.
much after the manner of viewing say
age beasts at menageri9, without
speaking a word. AS to the character
of these visitors, the singular fact is
that at least tWo-thirds are women. OF
these the greater number are blooming
girls with rosy cheeks and bright eyes,
What inspires desire to see the pris-
oners is problem. Their distinction
as the participants in a crime that VIII
go into the calendar as one of the most
singularly atrocious of the last de-
cade, greatly enhances public interest
in Them and in a measure accounts for
the curiosity to see them. There is
also in the public mind the belief that
they are in great danger of dying by
sentence of Judge Lynch's court which
makes them objects Of peculiar inter
est.
