After meals you should have SIM
ply feeling of comfort and satisfac-
tion. You should not feel any special
indigestion is going on. If you do
you have Indigestion, which means
Ot-digestion. This may be the be-
ginning of so many dangerous diseas-
es, that it is best to take it in hand
at once and treat it with Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial. For you know that
indigestion makes poison, which caus-
es pain and sickness. And that Shak-
er Digestive Cordial helps digestion
and cures indigestion. Shaker Diges-
tive Cordial does this by providing the
digestive materials in which the sick
stomach is wanting. 1t also tones up
and strengthens the digestive organs
and makes them perfectly healthy.
This is the rationale of it's method of
cure, as the doctors would say. Sold
by druggists Price 10 cents to S1.OO

young married couple came to this
city and purchased their entire house
hold furniture of this firm. 1t was
found to- be cheaper to send the goods
by wagon, as less packing would be
required than if taken to the depot,
unloaded, and then handled again at
the depot at New Ulm. The long

BOARD OF TRADE.
A Striking Clock, County Redistrict-
ing and Free Silver Talked of.

At board of trade meeting Monday
morning, the committee on revising
the commissioner districts was called
on for report, and Thomas Hughes
said that it had met the county
board and submitted the plans that
had been prepared. The board had
received the committee graciously
bat had taken no action except to
postpone the matter until the Sep
tember meeting. The country mem
bers were opposed to making change
at present, but only until after elec-
ton. as some of them are candidates.
No serious objection to the PROPOSE
tion was made, and some were quite
favorable and thought that the city
does not have the representation that
It should have. If the change is made
after election it will not take effect
for two years more.
M. b. Haynes thought that there
Is more opposition than appears on
the surface, and that the country
districts would be held to as long as
possible. The city has strong case,
which cannot be met by arguments,
and the members of the board should
see that the farmers understand the
facts thoroughly.
DR.. Andrews moved that the com.
nittee be continued and that it urge
81 the board the necessity of imme
date action.
Geo. I. Barr opposed the latter part

be more apt to lose by pushing the

The relic hunters who imagine
they are getting part of the old
scaffolding on which the Indians
were hung, in the remains of the

scaffolding went into the building.
The scaffolding must have been suf-
ticlent to build the state capitol, to

buildings in which it was put. Like
the rope used to hang Guiteau, there
is no end to it.

A Thankful Girl.
From the Examiner, San Francisc

From the Examiner, San francisco, Cat.
Miss Lottie Donell lives with her parents
at 702 Natoma Street, San Francisco. She
is young lady nineteen years of age, and of
was ten years old Miss Donell has been q
sufferer from a rheumatic affection of the
! wrist, and since she was thirteen years Of
age she has been subject to various female
weaknesses which have kept her physical
vitality at very low stage. Thus, as she
says, she has been victim of disease ever
since she can remember. When she was
little girl at school she was always placed
at disadvantage with her playmates on &C.
count of her frailty of body and timidity of
manner. She could never join in any of the
more boisterous games, although she always
lOnged to do SO.
But the embarrassing conditions of Miss
Donell's life have all been eliminated with
in the past year, and the change is wholly
due to the effective work of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills.
at must be remembered said Miss
Donell in telling of the great relief that Df.
Williams Pills had afforded her, "that at
the time I began taking the pills had been
for years confirmed invalid. My wrist was
swollen out of all proportion by the chronic
rheumatism that had long since settled in it.
The female complaints from which had so
long suffered had wasted my body away until

tary relief that had been afforded me that L
resolved to continue taking the pills. After
taking several more boxes was more than
convinced of the high merits of the pills, for

matte pains in my wrist and / had so far re-

waiting effects of those wasting diseases which
are so peculiar to women. 1t is very great
pleasure to me to be able to tell my young
lady friends of the relief that has been af-
forded me by DR.. Williams Pills and will
surely continue to recommend their use to
all who are afflicted with the complaints
from which suffered"

PALE AND SALLOW GIRLS.

What can be more distressing than to see

now, it would be rejected, and the
city would be compelled to go to the
courts to secure just redistricting,
and then it couldn't be done before
election, so that nothing could be
gained by haste.
DR.. Andrews said that he was OPP
posed to catering to those who want
reelection. The request is right
and lawful and should be granted.
The commissioners were elected TO
carry out the will of the tpeople, and
not to set up the pins for a reelection.
Mr.. Hughes said that each COM
missioner district elects it's own COM
missioner, and that in opposing re-
districting each one from the country
is backed up by his constituents to a
certain extent.
President Shoemaker sided with DR..
Andrews, and though that unless the
matter was pushed the same state of
affairs as at present would exist two
years from now.
Mr.. Haynes also agreed with DR..
Andrews, and said that the commits
sioners will not make the change so
long as they can help it.
The motion was defeated, then re-
considered and withdrawn, and a mo-
tion to continue the committee was
carried.
The clock committee was asked for
a report and j. G. Noe said that it
had seen Congressman McCleary, who
had said that he would write to the
department about it and report to
the committee.
A discussion followed, those taking
part in it expressing disappointment
that the clock in the tower of the
government building does not strike.
H. P. Jensen favored raising the
tower higher, as few people can see
the clock now, but this suggestion
did not meet with unanimous support,
and the subject was dropped without
further action, after Mr.. Wise had
stated that it was not the policy of
the government to put in striking
clocks.
M. G.. Willard said that he had
matter to bring up, and one which he
could not see much politics in. Then
he went into the money question and
said that the people want good
money. We are confronted with
condition now which is alarming. If
the West wants to borrow money
from the East or Europe the condi-
tions must be favorable. Mortgages
in the West are being foreclosed be-
fore free silver shall be established,
and before the man who loaned the
western farmer a dollar in gold must
be paid back with a dollar in silver
worth only half as much in the mar
kets of the world. He moved
that the board appoint a committee
to cons ider the matter of organizing
"Good Government and Sound Mon
ey Club"
Mr.. Shoemaker thought that he de-
serned politics in the matter, and Mr..
Farr agreed with him. If it came to
politics the Democrats would not
stand much show on the board
Mr.. Barr said that he had learned
that movement was likely to be be-
gun soon which would answer the
purpose. A sound money club had
been organized in st. Paul, to meet
weekly and hear discussions and have
addresses. 1t was non bipartisan, and
a Democrat was president and Re-
publican secretary, while the mem
bership was about equally divided be-
tween the old parties. 1t was pro-
posed to organize similar club in
this city.
Mr.. Willard withdrew his motion.
DR.. Andrews said that the matter
was one of business and not politics,

THE OMAHA WORK.
Winston Bros. Are fastening 1t as
Rapidly as Possible.

In the haste to lay a track to the
Minnesota river bridge the fact OF the
Walnut street sewer outlet was over
looked. and some of the fill and rails
have had to be removed. The sewer
is used to carry off surface water, and
comes to an end just west of the Mill
waukee fill. The Omaha road is
obliged to extend it to the river, as
it's fill would obstruct the flow OF
water. The sewer is made of piping
as far as it now extends, but the
Omaha road is making the extension
of stone masonry, the interior being
twenty by twenty-four inches and
cemented. When this long piece OF
work is done, the fill for the track
will be replaced, and trains will soon
run to the bridge.
The east approach to the Minnesota
river bridge has been made so tnat
trains can 60 through. 1t is double
trap door arrangement. when a
train comes, the doors or flooring Will
be opened upward by means OF ropes
and pulleys, and will completely shut
off travel on both sides and prevent
any team or person from going
through the opening down onto the
track. The contractors will station
a fiagman at the west approach to the
bridge, to stop teams when the east
end of the bridge is Distracted. The
contractors say that the bridge will
not be obstructed over ten minutes
at any one time, which will not delay
travel much. Only dirt trains will
use the track, and an entire train
can be unloaded by means OF the
steam plow in less than ten minutes.
The grade will be brought up to the
surface of the bridge as rapidly as
possible.
Very little work is now being done
on the foundation of the depot, the
men being drawn off for work else
where. A good deal of filling around
the depot has been done by teams.
Foreman Peterson is anxious to
get trains running into the Chicago
& Northwestern yards in order to
bring rip rap to protect the side OF
the fill towards the river, for freshet
next fall would quickly wash out the
sand embellishments. The connection
with the Northwestern track will be
made near the Hubbard Milling Co.'S
cooper shop.
The grading across the Blue Earth
river is nearly completed. The road
cuts through the middle of S. Q.
Ponds brick yard.
The main portion of the work to be
done now is from ga" street north.
A few of the new laborers became
dissatisfied with their pay yesterday
afternoon and quit work, but there is
no lack of men to be had, and their
places will not go begging, if they
have not been filed already.
