PERHAPS THIS MAY HELP YOU.

MY food does me no good" you say.
Then it does you harm. There is no
halting place between these extremes.
Digested food alone gives health and
strength. Undigested food sOurs, or
ferments, in the stomach and becomes
a poison to the whole body. 1t causes
headache, heart palpitatiOn, liver and
kidney trouble, distress after eating,
pains in the chest and sides, and the
tired, languid, heavy feeling we hear
80 much about. When the digestion
goes wrong every function of the body
goes wrong. Yes, and the mind, too.
Men fail in business and die poor for
no other reason than this-they are
weakened, dulled and stupefied by
dyspepsia. The lives of host of
women are blfghted in the same way.
You may be one of this miserable null
titude. The writer of these lines was
one of your number short time ago.
| tried dozens of things to get cured;
just as you have done, no doubt. The
thing which at last succeeded with me
may succeed with you. 1t is a dis
covery of those wise and good people
the Shakers, of Mt. Lebanon, n. Y
called the Shaker Digestive Cordial.
1t is not a purgative, which at best
gives only transient relief. 1t is in
itself a digested food and also a cor
rector of the digestive function. You
can eat and digest your food while
taking this cordial 1t helps you at once
and soon makes the stomach vigorous
and healthy. 1t is not like any other
sO-called dyspepsia cure. 1t is pre-
pared by the Shakers principally from
herbs cultivated by them. They do
not ask us to spend a dollar for a bot
tie while we are in the dark as to it's
virtues. They take that risk them
selves. Almost any druggist will sell
you a trial bottle for ten cents, so that
you can see whether it is what they
say-and adapted to your case. And
isn't the mere chance of a cure worth
that much?

SCROFULA
Il Is Foul Blood's Advertise.
ment
But It Is Soon Cured BY HOODS
Sarsapari!la.


Yes, scrofula, II anything, may he called
the advertisement of foul blood. Ii Is the
scourpe of the world offensive, painful,
debilitating, stubborn and well nigh
uncomfortable.
Outward applications do not cure, they
only drive the difficulty to new quarters.
Emollients may paiiiate, they cannot
abolish the evil. There is but one sure
way out, and that is to eliminate the
faint from the blood.
There is one remedy that can eject this,
and it is the only one that, SO far ss We
know, has almost invariably succeeded
even where the system has been poisoned
by long years of faint, and the ravages to
be repaired are tremendous. That remedy
is Hoods Sarsaparills. Read this:
"My daughter was afflicted with I'm
pure blood. There were running sores
all over her body and they caused her
much suffering. We tried medicines that
were recommended as blood purifiers,
but could not see that they did any good.
A friend told me about Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla and / began giving the girl this med
icine. The result was that she was per-
fectly cured after taking q few bottles.
She has had no symptoms OF scrofula
sores since that time" MARIETTA n.

Mr.. CONE ATTRIBUTES DEFEAT TO
JOOILYH AND SPENCER.
Rumor That q Petition Will BE Sent to
Gov. Leedy Asking That Change In
the Board BE Made-Mr. Cone Says az
Jocelyn and Spencer Are Not Removed
That sedgwick County Will Give the
Republican Nominee For Governor
2,2Oo Majority Year Bence-He
Named Every Man Who Was Elected


There was a rumor current on the
street yesterday that as the result OF
Tuesdays election was a victory for
Rufe Gene, he had started a petition re-
questing Governor Leedy to remove Joe
eiyn and Spencer from the board Of po-
lice commissioners
Mr.. Cone was seen last night and ask
ed i: ne had petition. He said:
mo. haven't"
What do you know about one being
in circulation?"
Nothing You had better 60 and ask
Joceiyn. He can tell you more about it
than I can
'sTo what do you attribute the defeat
OF Wemple, Brown and Burton?"
ITO Jocelyn and Spencer. With condi-
lions as they were, every Populist in the
county ought to be ashamed Of himself.
that they did not have $500 majority for
every man on the ticket And they
would have had il, too, had not Jocelyn
and Spencer tried to dictate and run
things absolutely without regard 70 the
party"
What's that mans name that works
fer Little?'' asked Mr.. Cone.
do you mean Leedy?'' inquired the
reporter.
Yes. I couldn't recall il. Well, you
can put it down that if he doesn't make
a change in the police commission haIe
and fire Jocelyn and Spencer that Seig-
week county Will give 2,2e0 majority for
the Republican nominee for governor in
stead of 1.5G0 which they gave him last
year. consider the result slap in rhe
face to Jocelyn and Spencer and their
methods"
The figures given by Mr.. Cone might
lock- ridiculous to the average Pop, but
he has been ir politics for years and fig
u-es close on results. Furthermore, he
na1nei every man who was elected on
Tuesday, and did not miss any mans ma
:oTity over 50. That shows that ne is a
pretty good guesser. Another thing thar
makes his statements have weight IS
nat Mr.. Gene has been elected sheriff
TWO terms and was constable for years
He always picked the years when a ma
jcrity Of the Pop ticket was elected,
winch showed that ne sndd WHAT IS cdlieu
political foresight.
Although Mr. Cone denied knowing
about any petition for change, there
was some t1ing in his manner that por-
tended a political sensation Of some kind
that will undoubtedly be sprung on the
Jccelyn-Spencer regime within the very
rear future.
Colonel Jocelyn was telephoned to last
night and the following questions We're
asked him:
"W hat does the defeat of the Populist
ticket portend? Do YOU know If a peti-
tiOn is in circulation to have the present
board OF police commissioners removed?"

Considerable Grain on tho Market Yester-
day Causes n Decline

There was considerable grain sold on
the local market yesterday. Soft wheat
declined one cent from Tuesdays quo
tations, selling at 81 cents a bushel.
There was a sharper decline in hard
wheat, it dropping two cents a 'oushel on
the preceding days figures. The price
paid for hard wheat yesterday was II
cents The fact that there was more
wheat on the market than usual caused
the decline. Oats remained at the same
price but were weak with a tendency to
go down a cent or two. The prevailing
price was Is 20 20 cents a bushel. Both
old and new corn took a tumble of one
cent New corn cold for "a cents snd

The weekly messenger. [volume] (St. Martinsville [i.e. St. Martinville] La.) 1886-1948, 1897-09-11

The talk nowadays is all rail-
road. it looks as if there is more
wind in that talk than anything
else, though the Palmetto people
claim they are backed by the
Texas Pacific railroad, and that an
official of that company will be
here i'm the course of the coming
week to look into the matter, and
probably to make survey OF the
proposed road. The people OF the
upper part of the parish seem to
have a grudge against the South
ern Pacific, and do not put much
faith in the surveys which are be-
ing made now, they look upon the
survey simply as bluff, to init
midatc the Palmetto people. We
understand that the people along
the line will not give the right of
way to the Southern Pacific, and
if it is really their idea to extend
this branch to Breaux Bridge,
they will have to buy their way
through.
