DIED SUDDENLY AT CHICAGO
Mrs. Julia F. Jordan, a Resident of
Port Angeles, Washington.

CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-After registering
under an assumed name, Mrs. Julia
f. Jordan, who came here several
months ago from San Francisco, died
at the Palmer House early this morning
without having revealed her identity.
She was the wife of John NJ. Jordan OF
Port Angeles, Wash, and is said to
have owned considerable property IN
the Far West. Although living in one
neighborhood since she came to Chica-
go, she had revealed little of her past
life. Her death was accompanied with
unusual circumstances, and violent
means were at first suspected. a post
mortem examination was held and
chronic bronchitis was found to be the
cause of her death. She registered at
the Palmer House yesterday morning,
and was i'll when she went to her ROOM
Her identify was learned through pa
pers found in her possession. Her hus-
band was communicated with, and re-
ply was received this evening request
ing that the remains be buried in Chi
cago. She occupied apartments here
on North Paulina street.

The old railroad man took the man
who was new to the business off to one

Dig down to the cause of your sickness, ii
you want to get well and stay well. Most
likely it's indigestion. The irritating poisons
of fermenting, putrid food left in the stom-
ach by indigestion, cause headache, neu-
ralga, nervousness, dizziness, stomach-ache,
nausea, irritability, and all the other we'll
known symptoms of Indigestion.
They also cause many pains and disorders
which are often laid TO other causes and hence
are not easily cured. But as soon as the
poisons are re moved, all these symptoms aud
disorders disappear, because there is nothing
left to cause them. Nothing succeeds in this
like Shaker Digestive Cordial, because it pre-
vents the undigested food from fermen;ing in
the stomach and helps the stomach to digest
its food.
