During the summer Of 1891 Mr.. Chas.
P. Johnson, a well known attorney of
Louisville. KY, had a very severe at
tack of summer complaint. Quite a
number of remedies were tried, but
failed to afford any relief. A friend
who knew what was needed procured
him a, bottle Of Chamberlain's Collie
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which
quickly cured him and he thinks saved
his life. He says that there has not
been a day since that time that he has
not had this remedy in his household.
He speaks Of 1t in the highest praise
and takes much pleasure in recommen-
ding it whenever an opportunity is Of

Advocates of 'The Lost Cause" Hold
ing Forth in Convention.
Columbus, Ohio. June S0.-The DEM
ocratic state convention here today
was the most largely attended Of any
such occasions since the civil war.
While this convention in some respects
was a mass meeting Of free silver fu-
,sionists, it's large attendance was large
ly due to the fact that a complete
new ticket was to be nominated and
there usually y. '23456Rm, byxa23456''
there was an unusually large number
of candidates for each place. The por-
trait of w. ]. Bryan was the centre
attraction and that of the late Allen
G.. Thurman was quite conspicuous.
The convention was called to order at
10 o'clock by Chairman Durbin. He
congratulated the party and introduced
Hon. Uric Cloane as temporary chair
man.
Following Cloane's speech just before
the convention was Gale dto order a
large gold cross was carried into the
convention hall. 1t had as ornaments
an crown of thorns and clock indicat-
ing 16 minutes to 1 o'clock. 1t was
quite large and formed the centre
piece among the floral designs about
the stage.

GET WELL AND STAY WELL.

Stay Rid Of it.
1t Is so simple to be we'll that we
wonder why there are 80 many sick
people.
Come to think about it, must be be-
cause they don't know what's made
them sick
If they knew that, they could pre-
vent it, and when they are sick, in
some cases cure themselves. But, SO
long as we don't take more care of
our health, we shall always be more or
less sick.
The simple rules of health are Keep
clean. take exercise, eat good food.
scour out your stomach.
This last means Don't tolerate indi-
gestion. Cure 1t with Shaker Digestive
Cordial. A stomach full of undigested
fermented, putrid food is the unhealth
lest thing you can think of.
Half our diseases and troubles come
More than half of them could be cur
ed with Shaker Digestive Cordial.
More than half, because often when
we think we are sick we are only weak.
and course Of nourishing food digest
ed without effort by the stomach with
the aid Of Shaker Digestive CordiaD
would reinvigorate the whole system
and make us well.

BOLD BURGLARY.

window Smashed and Articles Elk
tracted Therefrom.
A very bold burglary was committed
last night almost in the shadow of the
city hall. Someone by the aid Of an
instrument, broke the large plate glass
window in front of the notion store of
d. Rosenberg on Main plaza and ex
tracted about three dozen gold f,led
rings and made good his es-
cape without any one gaining knowl-
edge of the crime.
Mr.. Rosenberg closed up his store
at IL o'clock last night and left an
electric light burning in the window as
usual to display the articles in the win
dow. Upon coming down this morning
he discovered that the window had
been broken and the articles mem
toned stolen. There was gold watch
in the window, but the thief was not
able to reach 1t.
The glass broken is an extra thick
plate about six feet square and
is valued at about $50. AS the house is
the property of the Kalteyers this will
be their loss.
When Mr. Rosenberg opened his
store this morning, and after the dis
covery OF his loss. he looked about him
and in the gutter in front of his store
he discovered the implement with
which the glass was broken. A rock
tied IN handkerchief served to dead
en- the noise of the blow on the glass
and also to protect the burglar from
being injured by flying glass.

the story from Col. Fred Grant, and

"About q week after the failure he

how the writer, though only private

dangers of war to help the general

had been able TO buy farm and lay
aside $1,000. He did not know anyone
to whom he would rather loan half his
savings than to the man he had never
seen, but for whom he had named his
only son. If Grant needed $500, the let
