THE HONEST SHAKERS AND
THEIR CURE FOR DYS

The shopkceper who heats us by ly-
ing with regard to the quality of his
goods, and the grocer or the butcher
who gives US short weights, is thief.
However, their knayery touches moth
ing but our pocketbook. There is anoth-
er widespread form of misrepresenta-
ton of a far more dangerous and viii
famous character.
We refer to the false statements and
worthless guarantees that frequently
accompany medicines. To guarantee
a medicine to cure is to brand 1t as a
quack product. If we can guarantee
to cure a disease, then we can guaran-
tee everlasting life, for in a large ma
jority of cases people die of disease,
the proportion of violent or acciden-
tai deaths being very small.
The Shakers have always been kown
a most upright and honorable people,
and their success in the manufacture
ON medicines has also been well nkown.
1t is therefore not surprising to find
them pursuing very original and nov
ell plan for the Introduction of their
remedy for dyspepsia.
These God-fearing people, whose
motto has always been TRY all things
and hold fast that which is good, have
put upon the market ten cent samples
bottles of their product, or sufficient
to give it a trial.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial is so
prompt in it's action that for the triv-
ial sum of ten cents, a person can usu-
ally determine as to whether or not it
meets the requirements of his case.
There are forms of dyspepsia which it
won't help, but these are very rare.
In most cases the first dose relieves
all distress, and an increase of appe-
tite at once follows.
All druggists have it, and the next
time you are troubled with indigestion
send out and try this popular and
successful product. 1t represents
nearly a hundred years of patient in
vestigation and study.

A CLOSE SHAVE.

Letters from Mrs. H. Morris and Miss
Josephine Mayer to their folks at home
state that they had a narrow escape
from serious injury and perhaps death
in the recent colliding of a wild" car
with the Pullman sleeper of the train
on which they were travelling to Cali
fornia. This was one of the many
packed Christian Endeavor excursion
trains they were on, bound westward.
1t seems that they met the the wild car
near a switch and the engineer open
ed wide the throttle of his engine and
tried to get his train clear of the sin
gle track. In this he failed for the
wild freight car. loaded to the top,
came down grade with such lightning
speed as to strike the hindmost part of
the Pullman, cutting it completely off
and continued it's mad career until ii
slowed up and was taken in tow by a
freight train.

Robberies-daylight robberies-are a
daily occurrence now. And with so
many jails and correction houses these
notorious robbers are allowed to ply
their vocation unmolestingly.
For quite a while an aggre-
cation that used to shine IN the base
ball armament, and comes from a lit
tie place down the line, known as
Houston, has been victimized
by these robbers.
Now comes the town of Denison,
where a tribe of Indians makes it's
home, and sends the howl of Robert"
broadcast over this peaceful old state.
They say they have been knocked down
by one Ed. Mackey, scalped and placed
on the toboggan by a herd of wild
prancing Bronchos.
Who ever heard of Indians being rob-
bed? And such savages as Pierce
Chiles, Joe Dowie and Bill Kemmer.
Must be some kind of a confidence
game. 1t certainly isn't baseball.
These robberies have been of such
frequent occurrence of late that they
sound silly.
The way to offset all this is to play
ball-modern baseball of the improv-
ed style. Watch the Bronchos, and
you'll learn something.
Funny that old Houston and Deni-
son are being robbed. Yes, the Aus
tins say the Senators were robbed here
in that 14-0 game. But they will all
be saying it when the Bronchos win a
few more games. And the thought of
losing games has not yet entered Mike
OConnor's long head,
Crippled, bandaged and iimping, the
Bronchos are playing their same, steady
old game. Some of these days they
will go on the field on crutches and
win game. It's habit that Mike
OConnor got them into last Spring and
they can't break it.

Some of the people, but not all OF
the Callaghan administration is not
criticized by the press Of the city.
| =
Mayor Callaghan has evidently rec
ognized the fact that the success of his
| ticket was due to dissatisfaction on
| the part of large element of our best
voters-the Germans, and has shaped
the character of his administration
largely in favor of our German citi-
zenship. No body Of citizens possess
the virtue of good citizenship in a
higher degree than our German fellow
citizens.
But even Mayor Callaghan's marked
Partially for Germans at the head of
important Experimentation Germans

all of his supporters.
The careful supervision of the affairs
of the city-the personal devotion Civ
en- by Mayor Callaghaf to the slight
est detail of matters to be looked after,
excites in some quarters only favora-
BILE criticism.
The fact that in many particulars
the city government has been made
more efficient, more. economical does
not win universal commentator.
Mayor Callaghan has. certainly en-
| deavored to please our German citi-
zens, and should command their sup
port, in maintaining the city govern
ment. AS taxpayers they should re-
spond with alacrity to the demands of
the city. The financial department is
under German management, insuring
exact business methods.
| Pushing through the crowds we hear
notes of discord and complaint about
the city government. The dull times
are attributed to Callaghan, the tax
as if their burden was too heavy to
carry.
Say what you will, the Callaghan ad,
ministration was the offspring of ma,
jority of our citizens. The vote it is
true was not of majority, but the
l2,000 intelligent voters who remained
away from the polls, gave their con-
sent, to Mr. Callaghan's election.
If the people did not want Mr.. Cal
llaghan or his ticket it was an easy
thing to have said so at the polls. They

SO generous that he could never afford
to be just, bringing upon those whom
he loved sincerely a constant burden
OF debt and care. How reprehensible
this was he seems never to have felt,
though he blames himself freely and

his autobiography is disposed to feel
sorry for Mrs. Hunt, it is not because
her husband sets him the example. This
was Leigh Hunts one vice, never amend

had had his warning. It is pathetic to

Leigh Hunt foresaw his danger and
how incapable he proved of escaping it:
