According to celebrated anatomist there
are upwards of 100000 little glands in the
human stomach. These glands pour out the
digestive juices which dissolve or digest the
food. Indigo stion.is want of juice, weakness
of glands, need of help to restore the health
of these organs. The best and most natural
help is that given by Shaker Digestive Cor
dial. Natural, because it supplies the mater
ials needed by the glands to prepare the di.
gestive juices. Because it strengthens and
invigorates the glands and the stomach, until
they are able to do their work alone. Shaker
Digestive Cordial cures indigestion certainly
and permanently 1t does so by natural
means, and therein lies the secret of its won
derful and UNMARRIED success.

the courthouse in Custer county there. Col.
Kittredge Haskins presented to the governor
Knights case, which is a general denial OF
the charge, and after an examination of the
papers the governor will give his decision.
There are probably few men in the state
that have served the public more assiduously
in one way or another than Col. Haskins. AL
ready his services have been secured as the
Memorial day orator at Enosburg Falls for
next year, and there he will be the guest Of
Hon. Olin Merrill, who was the chairman of
the republican state committee during the
last presidential campaign.
Comparatively little is heard in relation to
the successor of Postmaster Childs on the eX
piration of his term. The majority of the
smaller politicians, and some of the larger
ones as well. continue to predict that DR..
Webster will secure the Office, because of his
strong local Endorsements and his high stand
ing in the party. The friends of Col. Has
kins, however, say that if he really makes q
contest for the Office his connections are such
that he is the coming postmaster.
The fall entertainments oforganizations are
now in full swing. The Murray club, an or
ganization of the young people of the Univer-
salist society, one of the largest in town, held
its annual reception at the church parlors
Monday evening, and it was largely attended.
Rev. Hal b. MAXWELL the pastor, and ID. +.
Tasker, are two of the men who never tire in
work for this organization. A new feature
of the work this season will be the publca-
ton every other Saturday of a church paper,
giving tho programs of what will be done
Both of the men are firm believers in the use
of printers ink and that method of publicity.
Wednesday evening Adirondack Murray
will read his own story, Chow John Norton
the Trapper, Kept His Christmas" This
will be for the benefit of the Rural improve
ment asst citation, which yearly does such
public spirited work in identifying the vii
| iage. Mr.. Murray and N l. Hawley of Brat
| tlehoro are warm personal friends and Mr..
Hawley relates in charming way many in
| teresting stories of the former preacher and
great lover of nature.
j. b. Nicholas. sheriff of Custer county
Okl.. arrived in town yesterday morning with
requisition papers from the governor of Ok la
homa for Henry Il. Knight. charged with
| burning the court house and county records.
When interviewed he said 1.-The opinion of

Death of Rev. Nathan raven,

just as the STAR is about to go to
press the sad news comes to us of the
death of Rev. Nathan Fawell. pastor of
the NJ. Il. church, at his home in this
city, at ODD Thursday evening". AL
though he has been very sick for the
past few days there were still hopes
for his recovery, and the news of his
death has cast Il pail over the commu
nifty. He was taken ill with pneumo-
mia about nine days ago, the effects of
Il severe cold contracted during the
revival services. He was very hard
working man, full of energy, good
preacher. and had not only endeared
himself to his congregation but to the
community as we'll. His life was thor.
oughly, constantly and zealously
Christianlike. He would have been 81
years of age next month. He leaves a
wife and three young boys to mourn
his untimely death. May kind Provi-
dence console, comfort and ever care
for the bereaved ones.
The funeral will occur Sunday at II
o'clock a. M, to be conducted by Prof.
Lymer, assisted by President Hancher,
at the college chapel. Interment will
be at Evergreen cemetery.

Gold Excitement Near Custer.

1t is reported that Custer was nearly
depopulated the other day because of
IA rich strike few miles from town.
Concerning the strike Sam Scott writes
the Deadwood Pioneer as follows:
-'An important gold discovery was
made on the 4th of this month in the
limestone. ten miles west of here. The
ore is of the same general character
as that of Ragged Top. Assays show
it to carry from SIG to sl75 ton gold.
Since the Ragged Top pexcitement more
than 300 assays have been made here
on the limestone range, extending from
Rockerville, on the east side. south
around the Hills and north as far as
the south fork of Castle creek. Every
assay showed gold from trace up to
80 ton, but this find was the first that
gave paying result. The assays were
all made from loose ore picked up on
the surface" A town site has been
laid out by the leading business men
of Custer and they are looking for quite
q mining camp.

Some sects the Members of Whic.a
Thought They Couldn't Die.

Our congress is prohibited by the con-
stitutioH from making laws respecting
religious views and theories. This being
the case, fanatics of all kinds have tax
en- the opportunity to PROFOUND their
views and make an effort to spread their
doctrines. Within the present century
not less than half dozen deluded NOR
tails residing within the limits Of the
United States have claimed to be Christ
returned to earth, and the queer thing
in connection with the ministry of such
fanatics is the fact that they can per.
suade persons who are supposed to have
fair amount Of brains to believe that
they are all they claim to be.
Since 1880 five different sects have
been founded in the United States the
members Of which claimed the ability
of either themselves or their founder to
live forever. Each Of these queer com.
munities has been known by its neigh
bors as "the immortals, and each has
in the course of time come to grief, as
all such visionary drean,ers must. Tho
last deluded being to found sect on
the theory that he himself. at least, was
WIS 00N4u AUlclSOuS WIN WuH
known to his followers as ''the eye of
Jehovah" The Patterson sect were
known as "the children of Zion. " Their
headquarters were mainly at Grand
Rapids. Mich, although there were up
ward of a dozen branch organizations in
the different states of the Union. Pat
terson claimed that he would never die,
and the great tenet of faith with the
children of Zion was belief in the claims
which their leader made In 1888 this
self styled "cye Of Jehovah" began to
grow dim-in other words, to waste
away with ali incurable disease. Finally
he went to France, where he died, just
as all other mortals have done or will
do. This cured the delusion of the Mich.
| iganders ut Grand Rapids. who soon
awcke to the fact that their leader had
either been crazy fanatic or bias
phemer. Sects founded on claims Of inn
mortality are not at all dangerous, as
it is only question Of time when the
delusion will be effectually dispelled.-

WHO WILL HOLD POSSESSION .
Receiver Curtiss Assumes His Duties, But
is Partially Resisted.


The bonds of H. j. Curtiss as receiver
of the Dakota Hot Springs Co. proper
ty were approved by Judge Gardner
the fore partof the week and he as
snmed the duties of the office Wednes-
day. He at once proceeded to take
possession of the property. At the
Evans Hotel he found Jas. Dowd in
charge during the temporary absence
of H. ID. Clark, who represents the
Sioux City Safe Deposit and Trust Co.
Mr.. Curtiss informed the employees
that he was in charge, and they were
now in his employ as receiver. Mr.
McClung was placed in charge by Mr.
Curtiss. Col Evans shortly appeared
upon the scene, and very naturally
didn't bit like the turn affairs had
taken and he would see about it when
Mr.. Clark returned. He was pretty
gruff and unciv;l to the people who had
thus wantonly. ruthlessly and with
malice aforethought entered upon that
domain, and the atmosphere seemed
ominous. Mr.. Clark arrived after a
while-this being one of those whilcs
that seem long and he simply declared
that he still had possession as agent for
the Sioux City company, and quietly
and in gentlemanly manner sought
to otliciate as before. Receiver Curtiss,
with an assurance that was graceful,
repeated his claim for authority over
the possessions and wanted none but
his own representatives recognized in
the business that might incidentally
be transacted. All parties concerned
seemed to pass comfortable night
lounging about the office cycling each
other, and Thursday morning whenthe
STAR man called at the hotel Messrs.
McClung and Clark sat side by side
behind the office counter, each absorb
ed in reading a daily newspaper-ap-
parently oblivious of the awful respon-
sibility resting upon them. Thus time
dragged it's monotonously slow length
along, and up to the time of going to
press, Thursday afternoon, no new de-
velopments have occurred.
1t is expected that mandatory in
StHuctions may be received by the re-
ceiver at any moment from the judge.
