 Sold by Druggists, 75c. Halls Family Pills are the best.

A stomach full of undigested food is about as unhealthy a mass as one can we'll imagine.
 What can be done with itf
 There it stays. It won't digest. It churns up, ferments and decays; becomes poisOnous-as all putrid matter does-and causes great pain and deep seated disorders.
 In order to change all this, take Shaker Digestive Cordial.
 It stops fermentation and decay at once, so that no more poisons are created.s
 It clears the stomach of poisons already there. It helps 1t to turn the food that remains into healthful nourishment. It strengthens the stomach for the next meal.
 Here is the whole philosophy and cure of indigestion in a few words. And what's more it's all true. Try it.
 Shaker Digestive Cordial is sold by druggists, price 10 cents to $1.OO per bottle.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu- tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an indamed condition of the mu- cous lining of the Eustschian tube. When this tube gets infamed, you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dol lars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for ciE- culars, free.

When he got sober the world was less roseate, food was hard to get and drinks were ab- solutely impossible. The light pun ishment visited on deserters in times of peace was regarded as a reward in comparison with the ever lasting hustle one must wear to live. Col.

be proud OF the work presented TO the
public.
The spacious room is filed with tables
beautifully decorated with exquisite
specimens OF the keramic art ana with
flowers. There is a sim plicity and pre-
tentiousness about the display that makes
it doubly attractive and greatly strength
ems the idea that keramics belong to
higher art.
The heavy rainstorm probably pre-
vented a crush, but it was not sufficient to
keep away a crowd The room was well
filed from the time the doors were opened
until they closed last night, and while it
was not a demonstrative crowd it was a
very enthusiastic and appreciative one.
Last night string orchestra was in at
tendance and added to the pleasure OF a
VISIT to the room. The exhibition will con-
tlnue to-day.
To attempt to individualize the works of
art TO be seen on the tables would necessi-
tate an itemized list OF articles. To say
that one exhibit surpassed the Others

Stranger.
Disguised as a Farmer He
Relieved His Victim of
His Money.
After Being Fined for the Offense He
Beat His Attorney Out of
His Fee.

Since the expose in The CALL of a
deep-laid conspiracy to rob unsuspect-
ing strangers and to protect the cul-
prits not one bunko trick" has
been turned" John Sweeney, who
Is supposed 10 exercise a pulp
with the Police Department, has kept out
of the way, evidently fearing that his
presence al the CITY Hall would result in
his being called before the Chief OF Police
and subjected TO severe roasting"
Acting under instructions from Chief of
Police Lees, Detective Graham, whose de-
tail is to keep a sharp lookout for conf
dence operators, has visited the list of big
nit joints as publis he'd in THE CALL, and
ordered the proprietors to "shut down" or
suffer being arrested for conducting
gam bling games.
The mem bers of the bunko ring have
suddenly disappeared. presum bly, having
been warned 10 get out of the city.
Mccormack, the confidence operator,
who made a confession to Chief Lees
of the operations of the gang, is
supposed 10 be in Seattle. His disap-
pearance IS due to the threats of the gang
1lat they would kill him unless he left the

EWhere ne operated He was known Uv
Fhe name OF Morgan. During the annual
races there he robbed an unsuspecling
stranger out OF a small sum of money by
the tlme-worn Jop-and-bot game. He
was arrested for the offense and on the
advice of his friends in crime he en-
ployed ex-senator Goucher 10 defend him.
After a bitter trial he was convicted of
the offense but was let off with a light
fine The evidence showed that McCOr-
mack entieed his victim to "a saloon
where he introduced him to two OF his
Confederates.
One of them was dressed as a farmer
and pretended to have driven 10 town for
the purpose Of selling a load of hay"
The top-and-bottOm game was proposed
by Mccormack. who claimed 10 be a land
owner in Southern California.
In short time their victim lost $24. and
finally realizing that he was IN the hands
OF sharpers he lett the place and subse-
quently notified the police.
Mccormack was arrested imm ediateIy
afterward and lodged in jail. Learning of
his arrest his confederates skipped out
and have not been caught.
After paying his small fine Mccormack
bupkoed Goucher out of his fee. Mad
dened at the ingratitude of his client
Goucher swore to q complaint charging
Mccormack with vagrancy.
Before the warrant could be served the
defendant left the place and came to this
city.
After being here several days he became
acquainted with bucoIic stranger and in
duced him to visit The water 'front.' osten- =

and 10 per cent OF the proceeds will go to
the club TO assist in defraying its ex-
penses. Each exhibitor must have ten or
more pieces displayed and must sell at
least five of them.
From the character of the work it will
be difficult Tor the exhibitors to retain
any of their work, as the demand is cre-
ated by the exhibit.
