I. L. Perry's cigar factory is now turning
cut cigar W hich is creating no little sensa
ton among the smokers. Mr.. Perry for the
past few months has been working on an
idea of apply ing pepsin to cigar, which he
has at last perfected The pepsin is put in
between the wrapper and binder on the end
Of the cigar which goes in the mouth, and
must necessarily offset the nicotine and at
the same time aid digestion, as each cigar
contains enough pure pepsin to digest 800
for, which if granted will prevent all others
from using pepsin in the manufacture OF
cigars.

Indigestion is often taken for consump-
ton. The word consumption means vast
ing away, and dyspeptics often waste away
as badly as consumptives.
The reason people waste away is because
either they don't get enough to eat, or they
don't digest what they do eat.
If the latter is your trouble, take Shaker
Digestive Cordial. This will help you to
digest your food and stop your loss of flesh.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is made from
herbs, barks and the joice of fruit, by the
well-known Shakers of Mount Lebanon. 1t
possesses great tonic and digestive powers
Shaker Digestive Cordial has cured many
supposed consumptives (who were really
dyspeptics), by simply helping their stom-
achs to digest their food, thus giving them
nourishment and new strength.

CLEANED OUT THE TOWN.
Chief Samory Sweeps Kong, Upper
Guinea, OFF the Earth.

PARIS. Nov 1s-A special dispatch to
! the Journal brings serious news from the
Niger region of west Africa In order to
punish the inhabitants of the town of
Kong, capital of the kingdom of Kong,
in the NIandingo region of Upper Guinea,
for their refusal to supply his troops with
provisions, Chief SamOry has razed the
town and massacred several thousand na-
tives. For several weeks the French
newspapers have been calling upon the
government to send a punitive expedition
against Chief Samory, who on August 20
last surprised and routed a French de-
tachment of native troops sent to CO.
cupy territory which he had offered to
evacuate. Two of the French officers
and ii men were killed. Kong is a rich
and fertn dependency of the French ivory
coast. If the report published by the
Paris Journal is confirmed, the French
government will have no alternative but
to send a punitive expedition, as the
French press has been urging it to un-
dertake.
Samory. who is otherwise known as
Samadu, and who was formerly known
as the West African Mahdi.'' is Tippoo
lib on a large scale-a wholesale slave
hunter. He first came into contact with
the French in 1852. but in the two years of
war which followed he was repeatedly de-
feated.
In the latter part of 1854 he carried his
slave raids far to the south into Suli-
mania, capturing and destroying Falada,
the capital of Sulimania and the great
emporium for the trans-Niger trade. The
vast tract of country was devastated, and
/ thousands of natives were slain; thous-
/ ands more were sold into slavery and
the country so depopulated that
trade came to standstin and the colony
of Sierre Leon was reduced to the verge
of bankruptcy. These conquests brought
Samory a fresh accession of strength, and
in 1855 he again commenced operations
against the French provinces on the
north Two severe defeats, however
brought him to terms, and in February.
1887 he signed a treaty of peace with the
French in which he recognized that the
river Niger was the boundary between
his territory and that of the French

the winter.

New York. Nov. 1S.-Mark Hanna,
United States senator from Ohio and
chairman of the Republican national
committee, arrived in New York today.
All attempts to induce the senator to
talk about the senatorial situation in
his state failed. One Republican said:
Il see by the papers that you will
have about Is majority on joint ballot
instead of five, as was at first sup
posed
To this the senator replied: ''I do not
care to say word about politics. My
visit here is not political and 1 wish to
refrain from discussing the situation in
Ohio''
1T is said, senator, that some Repub-
licans elected on the fusion ticket will
surely vote for you. What do you think
about it?"
You cannot get me to talk politics
Remember, I have had nothing but pol
itics for weeks. I expect to obtain a
little rest while here"
What do you think of the result of
the election in this city2"
L do not wish to say anything about
it,"
but, as chairman of the Republican
national committee, do you believe it
has national bearing?"
Not necessarily So
The senator said that business is
good in Ohio and everything looks en-
cOuraging. Prosperity has come, and
factories are running on full time" he
added. 1.-The farmers are getting bet
ter prices for their products and every
one seems to be more or less happy The
happily and on the whole, good times
have arrived. expect to remain three
days and then return to Cleveland" he
concluded.

Brilliant MeteOric Display is
Witnessed at Santa Bar

Santa Barbara, Cal, Nov. 1s.-soon after
O'Clock this morning a brilliant meteortc
display was witnessed here. For d few
moments the whole heavens seemed con-
verted into grand pyrotechnic display. In
the midst of it all there came a flash of
dazzling light, accompanied by kissing
sound, and those who happened to be
looking in the direction of the channel
saw a pyramid of red and blue blaze ap-
parently as large as a mountain, descend
ing into the sea. causing the water to
spout up like a geyser, higher than the
tallest steeple.
H. Spoper was driving on the boulevard
near the beach when the meteor fell.
Both of his horses dropped in their tracks.
Spoper says he thought for a time that
he had been fatally injured. He was IN
able to move or speak for several min
utes. An aged Spaniard near by was I'M
able to move his muscles for half an hour.
a strong sulphurous odor was noticed all
along the boulevard and in the lower part
OF the city.

to urge the government to take prompt

that Germany has been acting as if she

night to hear James Whitcomb Riley,
Manager w. A. Moss was yesterday fined
so in police court under city ordinance

Over 800 chairs were placed in the aisle

was crowded, the foyer was packed and
the aisles were impossible. The fireman
on duty ordered the aisles and foyer
cleared and was hooted at by those in
charge, while timid people grew appre-
hensive and nervous.

done in a week. But one wooden arch
form remains. and that is under the
north span. 1t will be removed either
Saturday or Monday. The fill on the

south end will be by tomorrow. Then
