The maple Drain" Demurs.

Some time ago the farmers of Maple Riv-
or made concerted effort to put stop to
all hunting on their property. A, large
number of printed notices were procured by
the farmers club and were distributed to
all farmers who wished them. As result
nearly all land In the neighborhood Is "post-
ed,"and mo hunting allowed" greets the
blood hungry on every side. Since the
posting of these notices the writer has heard
the report Of but one gun, and he happened
to know that this was being used to improve
on the primitive and painful method usually
employed in the killing Of pig.
The above action on the part of our farm
ers has been reg arded by some as decidedly
unbecoming, and in humorous article In
the last issue of IHE Times these grasping
farmers are likened to ''dogs in the man.
GER" and other insinuations are made which
are, we think, not only unkind. but un-
called for.
The action was taken chiefly In the in
terests OF that little friend of every farmer.
the quail. We often hear 1t argued that the
farmers will not shoot the quail anyway,
so we city hunters might as well have as
much fun out of them as we can. True 1t
is that way down deep In the inside Of q
great many farmers Is little something
that will not let them take steps 10 injure
or destroy the little balls Of brown. We
who are engaged In farming and who are
constantly 80 close to natures bosom can oil
appreciate this feeling, while expect that
one who works In the shop from sun to sun
could not. After watching the beautiful
little mother quail and her brood through
the spring and summer days. as they dill
gently and fearlessly run about helping ~
in our ceaseless and ever increasing warfare
against noxlous insects, one would no more
think of shooting into them than into .

One Of the features Of rural life, which
with me does moro than all else to make the
comparative seclusion, not only bearable
but positively attractive, are the many

After meals you should have simply a
feeling Of comfort and satisfaction. You
should not feel any special indications that
digestion Is going on. II you do, you have
indigestion, which means not digestion.
This may be the beginning of so many
dangerous diseases, that II is best to take It
In hand at once and treat 1t with Shaker
Digestive Cordial. For you know that indi-
gesti0n makes poison, which causes pain and
sickness. And the Shaker Digestive Cor
dial helps digestion and cures Indigestion.
Shaker Digestive Cordial does this by pro-
viding the digestive materials in which the
sick stomach is wanting. 1t also tones up
and strengthens the digestive organs and
makes them perfectly healthy. This is the
rationale of Its method of cure, as the doc
tors would say. Sold by druggists, price
10 cents to 81 90 per bottle.

Prof. VIM. f. Zimmerman. through his
attorney, Judge @ A. Smith, filed In the
circuit court, late this afternoon, an action
in the case against Mrs. Elizabeth Whiteley,
claiming $50, 900 for the alienation Of his
wife, Nellie's, affections.
The document sets forth that on October
%. 1896, Nellie Whitley was united in
marriage to VIM. +. Zimmerman, and that
for some time thereafter the couple resided
at the home of Mrs. Whitley, on Washing
on Ave. south. That the decree was
entered into with the knowledge and con-
sent of the defendant, but that within a
short time after the marriage, to'wit, two
weeks, the defendant began to entice and
persuade the said Nellie Zimmerman to
withdraw herself from the plaintiff and de
ny him her society, fellowship, assistance.
her wifely Offices and her love and affection,
and has so continued to entice and persuade
the said Nellie M. Zimmerman from thence
thereto.
The action further sets up that in cOnse-
quence of the aforesaid unlawful enticement
and persuasion, the wife of the said plain
tif, on Nov. 10 last, without leave and
against his will. separated herself from him;
that her affection for him has become
wholly destroyed and permanently alienat
