We live in a country of which the
principal scourgei is stomach-trouble.
1t is more widespread than any
other disease, and, very nearly,
more dangerous.
One thing that makes it so danger
GUS is that it is so little understood.
If 1t were better understood, 1t
would be more feared, more easily
cured, less universal than it is now.
SO, those who wish to be cured,
take Shaker Digestive Cordial. be-
cause it goes to the root of the
trouble as no other medicine does.
The pure, harmless, curative herbs
and plants, OF which it is composed,
are what render it 50 certain and, a.
the same time, So gentle cure.
It helps and strengthens the
stomach. purifes and tones up the
system. "

The Chemical engine at the city
hall is still timid about the Broad
way bridge over the Mississippi. 1t
is probable that Chemical Co. No. l
will hereafter go to the West side
fires by way Of the upper bridge.
With the company's usual speed,
that roundabout trip could he
made, and still allow them time to
reach any West side fire far ahead of
the rest of the department. Since
the report in the papers of the St.
Cloud bridge giving away under a
load of granite, the Chemical has
been more cautious than ever about
bridges. and it is we'll known that
the Broadway bridge is an old
structure. In order to give the West
side the very best fire protection it js
an absolute necessity to have a
bridge at Broadway that will
possess the confidence of the Chem
ical.

strongly Democratic. Later he was
elected to the state senate, and in 1889
was reelected to the same body. In
1886 he was elected lieutenant governor
on the ticket with Henry B. Harrison.
and in 1894 he was again successful as
a candidate for the same office on the
ticket with Governor Coffin. Mr.. Cooke
is prosperous business man and has
been prominent in church work as we'll
as politics, having been moderator of
the Congregational national council at
Chicago. He is one Of the receivers of
the Continental Life Insurance company

1t is only about a month to cleo
ton, and the free silverites claim
that the voters of this country will
then declare that all the silver
brought to the mints shall be coined
into money with legal tender value
of one-sixteenth that Of gold money.
Silver that is not coined now has a
value all over the world of less than
one-thirtieth of gold that is not
coined. Although the present silver
campaign has been in progress for
several months, with the constant
claim that this country would soon
make silver double in value compar-
ed with gold. the ratio of the two
metals in the markets Of the United
States, as we'll as in the markets OF
other countries. has not materially
changed. The tendency has been in
fact to a fall in the comparative
value Of silver. 1t ia very evident
that If any proportion of the owners
of silver bullion believe that the
United States will attempt to make
16 ounces of silver of the same value
as ounce of gold, they do not also
believe that the attempt will be
successful. Silver is now worth
alb out 66 cents an ounce in gold, and
when free coinage of silver makes
gold and silver at par at 16 to l,
silvsr will be worth $1.29 an ounce.
The silver campaign has emphat-
ically failed to so far make any
favorable impression on the price of
silver.

Ing:
AN OPEN LETTER.
RoYALToN, MIMI, SEPT. %, 1896.
Hon. CHAs. A. TOWNE.
Dear Sir:-Hindly tell the people of
ROyaltUn what would, ultimately,
become Of the gold In this country II
our government should adopt free
and unlimited coinage Of silver at Il
ratio Of l6 t" l."
Why should Republicans vote for
you, who are the candidate Of parties
whose principles are directly Op-
posed to those Ut the Republican
party?
Why do you not publicly discuss
all the planks Of the several plat
forms ON which you stand?
As u lawyer, what do you think
of the plank in the Democratic plat
form that denounces the supreme
court of the United States?
Upon what tenets OF political
economy do you plant yourself
when favoriDg the POpulistic de-
mand for more money?
II government fat can make So
cents worth of silver equal in value
to 100 cents worth of gold, can it not
also make the purchasing power Of
10 cents worth of copper equivalent
to that of So cents worth OF silver?
Art protection and reciprocity
compatible with the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver at Il ratio OF 16
to 1?

A. W. SWANSON,
And others.
These were questions which he did
not care to discuss. but his effO1 ts to
say something about his position on
the Popocrat platform was almost
as amusing as his tragic tale about
his walking out Of the Republican
national convention at u quarter
before O'Clock. Before the close Of
the campaign we expect to heafthat
the Republican national convention
walked away from him at about 2
O'Clock, and left him as the entire Re-
publican party.

Seven years ago when Fergus
Falls was in the bonus business, the
council lent $4,000 to assist in The
purchase of the Grand hotel from the
Scotch owners, who We're going to
dismantle it. The loan was made
through the first National bank as
trustee. Wednesday suit was
begun by ex-Congressman H. L.
Boen against G. D. Wright, president
OF the First National bank. and
Frank J. Evans, city treasurer, to
recover the amount paid out by
them. The filing of papers created a
great sensation.
The Ladies' Aid society of the
First Baptist church held a social
at the residence of j. II. Rhodes,
Esq, last Friday. 1t was great
success and much enjoyed by the
large number present. a most ex-
cellent program was rendered con-
sisting of vocal and instrumental
music in terspersed with declamations
and speeches. Dainty refreshments
were served by the ladies which
were heartily appreciated. One
novel feature Of the social was that
it was entirely free. No charge of
any kind being made. 1t is the
intention of the society to make this
a regular feature of their work.
