Indigestion is often taken tor con-
sumption. The word consumption
means wasting away, and dyspeptics
often waste away as badly as consump-
tives.
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 juices OF
fruit, by the well-known Shakers at
Mount Lebanon. 1t possesses great
tonic and digestive powers.
Shaker Digestive Cordial has cured
many supposed consumptlves (who
were really dyspeptics), by simply
helping their stomachs to digest their
food, thus giving them nourishment
and new strength.

Brand New Scheme Of a Clever Jewelry
Thief.

A young man went into J. Brunner's
Sons jewelry store in New York re-
Gently and said he wanted to have a
diamond set in gold ring. The sales
man walked to the end of the show
case for a moment to select some
stones. AS he turned around he
thought he saw the stranger reach
over the counter. Keeping the young
man in conversation, the salesman
sent one of the clerks out for police
man.
He hunted up Central Office Detec-
tives Cain and Nugent, who are on
duty around Maiden lane.
The salesman found that two
women's gold watches had been taken
out OF the showcase. The young man
denied that he had them, and the
detectives searched him. But the
watches were not N his clothes. Nu
gent finally took the fellows hat of
and found the watches hidden in hi:
hair, which was thick and bushy.
He had reached over the counte
when the salesmans back was turned
and fished the watches from the show

The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1897-07-07

My husband died about three years ago
leaving me with three small children and
large score to pay off at tipping houses
for beer, punch and COrdials Occasioned
by his too great attention to politics and
neglect of his cordwaLner's occupation.
After his death followed washing, max
ing soap, candles and some other small
matters which brought me in now and
then a ready penny. enabling me to pay my
husbands debts and live in a frugal man
ner, which l dyi, having for some years
raised my own oork in my yard.
But 1 am debarred by the law of the
corporation, lately passed, banishing all
hogs out of the city, to the great damage
Of the widow and orphan, which law. 1
have been informed was obtained at the
earnest request of a certain city masis-
trate whose name l refrain from giving.
Had that gentleman considered the bene-
fit accruing to the public by the hogs, the
injustice of depnVing the inhabitants OF
their company, / am apt TO think that
he would not have been so precipitate in
ali affair of such consequence.
For reducing a cancer nothing like
hogs fat, sugar cookies and strong beer
made into poultiCe applied V arm to the
part affected will serve, and hogs fat
STEPPED in rum with mullen is good for
collie. A" N. ~
Mrs. Seeley appears 20 have been some
touch of true feminine logic:
Il must further observe that If they are
to Danish all nuisances, why don't they
Danish the dogs, cats, drunken husbands,
and substitute order for disorder? Con-
sidering the hog His bristles serve the
shoemaker and brushmaker, his fat fries
fish, boils olicooks, bakes pancakes,
greases wool, makes soap, and is good
for pomatum. Canon and cheek of bacon
with spinach, leg of pork and turnips
is a fine dish. This none of the commu-
nifty can deny. If what 1 say will not
prevail upon the magis trates to repeal the
law banishing hogs, nothing will, I fear.
But / would propose one exception to be
added to the law, and that is that svery
person that will fat hogs in their bed
rooms, parlors or garrets shall not be
deemed or esteemed to be within the
meaning Of the law, anything to the con
trary notwithstanding.
In the same year and almost on the
same day that Deborah Seeley complained
of the hog ordinance. SylVanus Seaman
had q word TO say concerning the actions
of some reprehensible Tenderloin dudes of
that day whose place of nocturnal resort
was Beaver street. He wrote:
"Those young gentlemen rakes, who
broke so many windows at midnight in
this city, who show their un-Christian way
Of rejoicing may be assured if they don't
make satisfaction for the wooden shutters
they broke in Beaver street, their names
will be put in this paper. AS this most
scandalous, base and pernicious practice
of breaking shutters after nightfan is
but too common and notorious in these
parts, 1t were humbly to be wished that
the legislature would take into their con-
sideratlon the subject, as they only are
in the capacity to provide a remedy suita-
BILE for the acts of such malefactors"

receiver Of the Suwanee Canal Company.
Gen. Henry r. Jackson of Savannah mad
served a few days as temporary receiver,
but Notwithstanding that he is one Of the
largest stockholders in the company, and
one of its largest creditors, he refused to
serve further. Mr.. Hurt was required to
give bond for $4,000. He is to employ
engineers and surveyors, and through
them prepare a physical or typographical
map, Illustrating the resources of the
property, especially the kind Of timber
to be found there He will continue to
operate the business Of the company and
sell all its manufactured output. He is
also authorized to meet running expenses;
but his bills and vouchers must be APP
proved by s. F. Walker, the superintend-
ent in charge. After he has experiment.
ed one month in conducting the business,
he is required TO make fun report to the
court and recommend whatever in his
opinion may be best for the future man
agoment Of the company's affairs. and the

He is given authority to employ additional
counsel, whose fee is to be fixed hereafter,

IHe Dill Tor a receiver was nled on June
p by Wilmer L. Moore, administrator of
the estate of the late Capt. Henry Jack
son. The petition for a receiver alleged
that the company was hopelessly lnsolv-
ent and that 1t was necessary for the
court to wind up its affairs. The iudebt-
edness is said to be $685. The company
with Capt Henry Jackson at its head
was organized in 1891, and purchased the
Okefenokee swamp from the state of
Georgia. Two hundred and fifty thousand
acres of land were obtained for $50, 1OlS0
a price of 26 cents an acre. Since the pur-
chase, vast sum Of money has been
spent in developing the property.
