Sick poison is a poison which makes you
sick. 1t comes from the stomach. The
stomach makes it out of undigested food
The blood Gets it and taints the whole
body with it. That's the way Of it.
The way to be rid of it is to look after
your digestion.
If your food is all properly digested, there
will be none left IN the stomach to make sick
poison out of.
If your stomach is too weak to see to this
properly by itself, help it along with q few
doses of Shaker Digestive Cordial.
That's the cure of it.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is delicious,
healthful, tonic cordial, made of pure me-

The wheat question is hard one for the
silver patriots to explain. They are now
saying the advance in wheat in the face of
the fall in silver is due to scarcity of
wheat. But this very statement merely
strengthens the assertion of their oppo-
nents, who insist that the low price of
wheat was the result of righteousness
coupled with cheap production and trans
portation.

bales. 1t has been sold for about $780,

SILVER BOW A WINNER
He Adds Another to His List of
Victories.
WlND-UP OF THE SEASON
The Hares Were at a Disadvantage in
the Deep Snow-The Courses Were
Short-Good Glass of Dogs
Competed for Honors.

At the coursing park yesterday very
good crowd, considering the weather
and the fact that the street cars did
not run, witnessed the wind-up of the
sport for the season. A big fire OF
cord wood made things cheerful and
helped the spectators to Withstand the
low temperature. A good class of dogs
competed, but the deep snow made the
courses short, as the hares were at
disadvantage Silver Bow added an
other win to his series. He ran well,
but encountered tighter fits than usual
In his first course Mary Davey chased
him to the hare so close that Henry
Granting was inclined TO think the re-
suit would have been different had the
hare lived longer In his second Del
.Amerado, formerly called Pappoose
made a hot run up. Silver Bow being
about two lengths to the good,
wrenched. and Del Amerado killed.
In the final he met Ben Corin's grand
puppy. Flashlight. They raced neck
and neck for 200 yards, but the older
dog just drew out for the turn and had
easily the best of the subsequent work,
the pup showing too much needless
ness. Flashlight Will make them all sit
up in another season when he learns TO
watch his hare a little He has lots of
speed. but has not such thing as eau
ton in his makeup. He beat Sailor
easily and in his run with Sly Girl, had
distinctly the best of it in spite of a
horrible fall.
In the semi -finals, with three left In,
Silver Bow should have had the by.
but owing to a doubt as to whether the
jacks would hold out. the owners had
agreed, when IL got 10 that point 10
draw for position, the two drawn to run
for first and third, the other 10 take
second. The draw brought Silver Bow
against Flashlight. Silver Bow got first,
Gypsey the second and F'lashlight third.
This was against all rules. but was
satisfactory to all parties concerned

Queen, is very pretty, but appears 70

much the worst of the slip, being green,
but when she got up, showed a disposi-

He was standing on the hotel gallery

There We're two shots fired, one OF
which penetrated the brain. lmmedi-

greatest excitement prevailed. Sheriff
Edwards was notified and organized a

the guilty parties. Why Mullen was
shot is as yet a mystery. He IS an en-
tire stranger here and could hardly
have had any connection with any OF

are under the impression that the man
had enemies at his home who followed
him here and murdered him. Others
are Of the opinion that the man was a
detective and had come here for the
purpose of working up some case.
