YOUR TIRED STOMACH.

81 have no appetite" you say, "and
the little l do eat does me no good"
At first it feels cold and dead in my
stomach and by and by l have aches
and pains that sometimes go to my
chest and back. feel weak, low spir-
tied and out of sorts all over. fancy
the demon of dyspepsia has got me-"
That's the way you talk, and no won
der. But wait a moment. Let us
reason together. Perhaps thus far
your stomach is merely tired. You
have been eating too much, eating the
wrong things, and irregularly. You
have given it too much to do, and like
all living things, when overworked,
it stops at length from sheer exhaus-
ton. There may not be an actually
diseased condition as yet. Still it is
natures warning, and you must heed
it or worse will follow. But / must
eat or starve," you say. True enough
but safety usually lies in middle cours-
es. Here is one for you. You don't
need drastic purges or exciting stimu-
lants. Your condition is one easily
relieved if we go about it sensibly and
gently. The tired stomach won't
work under whip and spur. 1t has
probably had too much of that al
ready. What you require is something
that is at once a food and digester
Of food. Such an article is the Shaker
Digestive Cordial, discovered and pre-
pared by the Shaker Community of
Mt. Lebanon, n. Y. Taken right af-
ter eating, so as to mix with the food,
it does the stomach's work for it,gives
it the advantage of further rest,
strengthens you in a natural way, and
soon enables the stomach to do full
duty. There is nothing else like this
simple, safe, certain and palatable
remedy. Yet the Shakers respect
your doubts, and authorize druggists
to sell a trial bottle for ten cents.

INDIAN IN SALVATION ARMY.
Red Eagle, n Convert, Appears mt
Meetings in War Paint.

Red Eagle, n Convert, Appears at
Meetings in War Paint.
Joe, the Turk, who gained so much
notoriety some years ago by joining
the Salvation Army forces and work
ing for God, has rival. He is Red
Eagle, a genuine red man from the
Iroquois tribe, and in the language OF
the Salvation Army posters, Red Eagle
preached, sang and played the tom tom
for God at the barracks on Minnesota
avenue, Kansas City, Kan. Red Eagle
was converted to membership in the Sal
vation Army during the progress OF the
midwinter reviyals in California in 1894.
Since that time he has Travelled the
country over, preaching under the au-
spices of the Salvation Army corps. He
speaks good English, has voice that is
not as bad as it might be, and his play
ing Of the tom tom lends flavor to the
meeting, which is unsurpassed. Red
Eagle appears in full Indian war paint.
He tells of his experiences in the Diff
ferent tribes ofNorth America, and his
talk proves quite entertaining. Red
Eagle was guest of Sitting Bull at the
time when the old chief met his death.
He says he Witnessed the shooting of
the Sioux chieftain and assisted at his
burial.

ban society after that war, and won
many friends among his former enemies
in the field. When the present insu-
rection became imminent, Gen San
gully was looked upon as the probable
leader of the Cuban forces in the prov
inces of Santa Clara and Matanzas. His
dash and bravery at the head OF the
iCamaguey cavalry in the present war
were the warrant for the popular expec-
tation. The Spanish authorities, know
ing the common expectation, arrested
him February %, 1895, on the eve of the
outbreak. He was taken in Havana at
the order of Capt. Gen. Calleja. He was
charged with conspiracy against the
Spanish government and taken to the
Cuban fortress, where a court-martial
was convened to try him. Ramon o.
Williams, United States consul general,
protested on the ground that under the
Cushing-Albacete treaty of 1877 Amer
lean citizens should not be tried by
court-martial unless taken with arms
ON their persons. The prisoner was
then given a civil trial. The evidence
against Sanguilly was generally cir
cumstantial. On December 2, 1895, he
was declared guilty of aiding and abet-
ting the rebellion, and was sentenced to
imprisonment for life. His lawyer APP
pealed TO Spain. The supreme eourtr re-
mitted his case to Havana for retrial on
the ground that there was lack of proof
of Sanguilly's guilt. Sanguilly's lawyer
during his first trial, Miguel Womb, had
been imprisoned, and for q time occu-
pied a cell with his former client. The
main witness who testified in Sanguil-
ly's favor, Antonio Lopez Colima, had
been imprisoned IS months and then
shot. Another important witness, the
expert penman who testified favorably
to Sanguilly, died suddenly in Havana.
Sanguilly was again convicted and again
appealed. Consul General Lee inter
coded in his behalf, and Spain, after he
had been imprisoned two years, agreed
to change Sanguilly's sentence TO ban
ishment on condition that he should
withdraw his appeal. This he did re-
luctantly, because it might be con-
strued as a surrender of his claim for
damages for false imprisonment.

care must be used not to allow the foot
to slide or slip on the sword, or the
result would be very bad accident.
On leaving the circus in which one
has seen the above act visitors are al
most sure to see before the ever present
side show large painting on which
is the representation of a Mexican dane
ing with bare feet in a shallow box filed
with broken glass. If you are of On In
quisitive nature, and have seen a lady
walk with bare feet up ladder of sharp
swords, you enter the side show to Bee
this new wonder.
On a raised platform is found a box
four feet long, three feet wide and six
inches deep, the bottom of which is COW
cred with broken glass. In few mo-
ments a man dressed in the Mexican
costume appears on the platform, and
proceeds to break a few old bottles
and throw the broken glass in the box,
then remove his shoes, shows his feet
to be free from any covering, steps in
the box and dances among the glass.
After he has finished dancing he shows
his feet to be uninjured, and retires.
The trick is performed in the following
manner: Secure a number of thick
glass bottles, break them in rather
small pieces and file or grind all the
sharp edges round. This stock of glass
you place in the center of a box made
according to above measurement. Now
soak your feet in strong alum water and
wipe dry, and give them a thorough rub
bling with pulverized rosin. Dust the
inside of your shoes with rosin, put
them on and go upon the platform.
Take some old lamp chimneys and bot
ties, break them in bits, and throw this
fresh broken glass in the box around
the edges and in the corners, not in the
center. Remove your shoes, step in
the center Of the box among the pre-
pared glass and do your dancing. Avoid
the sides or corners of box where you
have thrown the glass, and you run no
risk of cutting your feet, especially If
you use plenty of rosin-

The Man whose Case Nearly Led to

Gen. Julio Sanguilly, who has just ar

DARING CIRCUS TRICKS.
Easy When One Knows How
They Are Performed
How to Climb a Ladder of Glitterinx
Swords with Bare Feet-Dnncing
with Bare Feet on Sharp
Glass.

A writer in the Scientific American
saysthatof all edaring tricks thathave
been introduced in the circus none have
caused more comment than the one in
which person, generally a lady, walks
with bare feet up a ladder of sharp
swords, treading directly on the sharp
edges without any injury to the feet.
1t is amusing to person who is &C
quainted with the secret to hear the
many explanations of show it is done"
offered by the spectators, yet none of
them ever come near guessing the truth.
This secret has been so jealousy and
successfully guarded that very few,
even among the best informed experts,
know how it is performed. That the ex-
surprising, the writer will now show.
From the illustration it will be seen how
the swords are arranged in a rack with
the cutting edges on top. The rack is
usually about seven feet high, and eight
swords are used. One of the most nee
essary points in the preparation for the
trick is that the rack should stand firm
and the swords fit snug and tight in the
slots made to receive them.
Usually the spectators are United to
examine the rack as well as the swords,
and paper Is cut with the swords to
show that they are really sharp. The
secret is not in the swords or rack, but
in the preparation of the performers
feet. In pint of water as much alum
is dissolved as the water will readily
take up. To the alum water is added as
much sulphate of zinc aswill lie on sill
yer dime, and thoroughly dissolved.
A few minutes before doing the act
the performer battles the feet in this so
tuition, and allows them to dry without
wiping. just before leaving the dress
ing-room the feet are dipped for mo-
ment in as cold water as can be secured,
and at once wiped dry without rubbing.
By lacing the feet squarely on the
swords there is no danger, but great

DECREASE DEFICIT.
Indications That the GovernmentWill
be Paying it's Own Way by
January.

Washington, Sept. 2S.-The Septem-
Der monthly statement of the govern
ment receipts and expenditures will
SHOW a material decrease in the deficit
as compared with August. The increase
that VIII be shown on the receipts from
internal revenues sources seems to JUS
tify the expectation of the treasury Of
fcials that by January L, next, the de-
nal amount.
The excess of expenditures over re-
ce1ptS so far this month amounts to
something over SO, 900, but it is ex-
pected that by October l. this excess
Will have been reduced to So, ,000, 900 or
less, making the deficit for the first
quarter of the fiscal year about $2S,-
100000. Internal revenue officials call
attention to the fact that already re-
ceipts from internal revenue exceeds
those of last year by about Sc, 900 900
and confidently predict that by January
l, this increase will have reached ST.
100000 and POSSIBLY IS, ,0O0, 600.
The receipts from customs so far
show no material gains nor is it ex-
pected that any substantial improve
ment will be shown until after the first
OF the year. The expenditures on ac-
count of the Pacific railroads at the be-
ginning Of the year, will be exception
due matured bonds of the Central Pa
cific to the amount of $10,614, ,120. Union
Pacific $15,919512; Kansas Pacific ST.
423, 000: Central Branch of the Union
Pacific 1920, 600; Sioux city & Pacific
S1,62S,320, making a total of S29, ,904, ,952.
In addition to this amount the inter-
est payments on January 1 will aggfe-
gate approximately S7.o0o,0o0, if how
ever, the offer of the reorganization
committee of the Union Pacific is ac-
cepted about sac, 600 900 would be added
to the available cash in the treasury
and would reduce the January pay
ments on account of the Pacific roads
by about 81, 600, coo. Estimating the de-
6cit for the next three months at $17.-
a1T cy1x-ea r,f
count Of the Pacific railways the avail
able cash balance in the treasury at
the close of the first half of the fiscal
year would be about $4,000. 900 in ex-
cess of the present figures, or 1925, ,00O,-
900. This would be a net loss for the
six months of $4,000. 900. Summing up
the situation, the treasury officials con-
fidently predict that before the close of
the calendar year the receipts will fully
equal or exceed the needs of the gov
ernment.

PUZZLES THE LAWYERS.
Negro Born in Slavery Claims Estate
His Father Leaves

Chattanooga, Sept. 2S.-Hobert How
ard, colored died in this city a short
time ago, leaving considerable valuable
property by will to his wife Sallie.
Today one Henry Howard, claiming
to be a son of Robert Howard, born in
slavery, filed a bill, in which he says
that his father went to the war from
Columbia, Tenn, leaving a wife, his
(Henry's) mother, from whom he has
never legally separated and who lived
until recently, never having married
again; that after the war he never
came back, but settled in Chattanooga,
where he pretended to marry one SaIlie
Jones, to whom he attempted to leave
his property as his wife.
Henry Howard asked the court to
declare this marriage to the Jones wo-
man null and void and to give him the
property as the only surviving heir.
The question is interesting the law
yers greatly, as no similar question has
ever arisen in the state courts. The
estate amounts to several thousand
dollars.
