CRIES FROM A COFFIN.
DEMONSTRATING Experience of a Big
Four Baggngemaster.

Nerwe-ShahinE Experience of a Big
Four BaEgnsemaster.
Baggage Master Granville Woodbury.,
of the Big Four Observation-Disclosures,
had charge of three corpses the other
night. At Chesterfield, Ind, the fast
train stopped to pass another train and
a six-year-old boy climbed on the front
of the baggage car to steal q ride home
to Da1eville. The train does not stop
there, and as it ran. through the town
the lad began to cry. The boxes con-
tuning the corpses were piled up near
the front door. Woodbury. was alone in
the car, and as he heard the voice of the
child from the outside he rushed to the
boxes to ascertain if one contained a
child. The nearer he drew the more
positive was he that one of the bodies
had come to life and was crying for
help. Fifty trunks were piled against
the other door, but the strong man de.
cided to get through it and to the other
train men to secure aid to open the
boxes. When the train arrived in Nun.
Gle Woodbury. was completely unnerved
but related the story he believed to be
true before the small boy climbed
down from the platform. The boy was
| sent home on the nexttrain.

If we could trace Dyspepsia to its
source, it would lead back to our
kitchens. In fact, the secret of good
health is good cooking. If we'll cook
ed, foods are partially digested;
|if poorly cooked they
are less digestible than in
their raw state. If you are a victim
of faulty cooking; that is, if you suf-
fer from Dyspepsia, the rational cure
must be looked for in an artificially
digested food, and food which will
at the same time aid in the digestion
of other foods. Such preparation
virtually rests the tired digestive or
gans, thereby restoring them to their
natural strength.
The Digestive Cordial, as prepared
by the Shakers of Mount Lebanon, is
just such preparation, and a single
10 cent bottle will convince you of ite
value. Ifyour druggist doesn't keep
it, he will be glad to get it through
his Wholesale house.

But what is the meaning of protec-
ton? 1t means an additional six

the loaf would sell for one and six

six pence; and what is more it is the
English for an extorted six pence.
The real meaning for protection,

NOVEL WOMEN's CLUB.
Hoosier Maidens Organize with
Matrimonia Intent.
Call Themselves the Orioles, and Pro
pose to Help One Another to Be
Attractive In Male
Eyes,

The Hoosier state has a new thing in
women's clubs. 1t is mutual benefit So
, ciety of new variety. The members are
young women, and the objecto the club
is to make them individually fascinat-
ing. They call themselves the Orioles,
and if there is not q general mating in
Hoosierdom this spring it Won't be their
fault.
Hagerstown is the home of the organi-
zation, and the members are said to be
young women from the best families
of eastern Indiana. Miss Josephine
Davis is the president and originator Of
the club, which now numbers 10 MEM
bers. Thirteen has already proved itself
to be fateful number, for one of the
members is to be married soon. Other
Orioles give signs of mating, and the
prospects for the success of the idea
grows brighter day by day. The club
is certainly altruistic. The Objects de-
clared to be Ito promote the happiness
of the members" The originality of
the way in which this is to be done is
startling. The girls are going to help
each other to become as fascinating as
possible. If one Oriole is deficient in
musical training, the others will teach
her. If she cannot learn to play or sing,
they will teach her the theory and his
tory of music, so that she can talk and
listen intelligently aboutit. Those who
can cook but not dance will be taught
by those who can dance but not cook,
and vice versa. Each member will be
invested with the accomplishment and
learning of the club as a whole.
If one of the Orioles shows matri-
monial symptoms her interests will be
fostered by her sister members. Pc
culiarities of temperament will be OBJ
served and fully discussed, with view
to improving their owner. If any are
discovered which will tend to sour the
disposition, make the mind gloomy, or
the tongue rampant, wedding out sys-
TEN will at once be adopted toward the
unhappy member. Marriage with an
unworthy man will be discouraged; I'M
der the club rules, indeed, it is absolute
ly forbidden. If n willful Oriole per
sists in receiving the attention of such
a man she shall be expelled from the
rights and privileges of the club. One
of the many duties of the members is
to observe the habits and peculiarities
Of manageable men and to report and
discuss the same at club meetings
Judging from these points there is 9

among the best families of Hoosierdom

OUR CANDIDATE IN 1900
The Famine In India.

Gov. Drake issued q proclamation
last week, calling upon the people of
Iowa for contributions to be sent to
poor, starving, plague stricken India.
Free transportation to the coast is
offered by the railroads, and from
there the British government guaran-
tees free delivery to India ports.
No doubt the generous hearted PEG.
pie of Iowa will respond literally to
the call for aid, as they have always
done in the past, but are there not
thousands of hungry people in our
country that should be provided for,
before we send our contributions
abroad? Others may view the matter,
in different light, but it would seem.
that the cause of the present distress
in India should be more thoroughly
investigated. England rules India
with abundant crops year after year,
every farthing that could be wrung
from them by exorbitant taxation is
transferred to the Unsuitable nav of
England, that her aristocracy NAV
live in luxurious Incidence, then, as
in Ireland, when a single crop fails,
starvation and pestilence stalk
through the land. And what does
the tyrant do to relieve the sufferings
of those who lie writhing and
mangled under her relentless heel? No
thing. Instead of caring for the vic
Tins of her greed, all eyes are turned
to America to furnish food, raiment
enough to keep body and soul to-
gether until they are able to earn more
for their infamous task masters.
Let England care for the victims of
her own rapacity, and if we have
food or clothing to spare, we do not
need to look far or long to find unfor-
tunate people who are deserving of
our most generous contributions
Lawler Dispatch.
The foregoing article expresses our
opinion very concisely. We under
stand from the eastern papers. there
is in the ports of India at this time,
an abundance of grain for the relief
of the famine in India, but that the
financial policy that England gives
it's people there, leaves the people
without money with which to supply
their needs.
A few weeks since, we received an
address from parties in New York,
asking us to appeal to our readers
for money for the relief of the Armen
ians suffering from the murderous
brutality CT the Turks, to which we
replied that the English government
was responsible for every murder o.
the Armenians and for the destitutio1
that existed there. Her money lender
hold the bonds of the Turkish gov
eminent, the payment of which j
more sacred to the English govern
ment than the lives of the entire Al
menian people. 1t is the same spiri
that dictates its policy toward til
Greeks in their effort to protect thei
people from the rapacity and murder
of the Turks in Crete. The suffering
in India is the result of the robber
Its people through British rapacity
and the duty of the CIVILIZED worl
and especially this Great Republic
to notify that government that it
held responsible for the murders, til
restitution, and the famine existin
among the Armenians and in India.
