The SHAKERS IDEA Of MEDICINE.

Now days when a man goes to his doc.
tor, he Is usually told that he has some uu.
heard Of disease with long name. and
when he leaves the office he does not know
whether 1t is st Vitus Dance or consump-
tion that is gradually undermining his
health.
1t is therefore refreshing to talk with the
Shakers, for their very simplicity com.
mands confidence and respect, and wei
have the further satisfaction of knoWinQl
that they have devoted themselves to the
study OF disease and Its cure for more than
hundred years
The venerable old man whom the writer
saw was only too glad to discuss his pet
subject. He said that strange as 1t miqht
seem, very few doctors realized that three.
qua rters OF the most prevalent diseases
were all attributable to faulty digestion.
he then went on to say that q child Of
average intelligence knows that putrid
meats or decaying vegetables are poison...
Gus, and must bo avoided, and yet these
same foods even II taken into the stomach
In the freshest possible condition soon de-
compose unless digested and absorbed.
ln such cases the resu ting poisops enter
the system, whom aches aud pains. weak.
ness and debility soon follow as natural
consequence
1t was recognition of this that led tho
Shakers to devote their energies to the per.
lection OF product which would stimulats
the digestive organs and assist them to
perform their proper work.
Inc nrst symptom Of diso,dered dipes.
tioh Is loss OF appetite, and the Shaker
digestive Cordial is wonderfully efficient
IN supplying any deficiency in this respect.
at the same time 1t relieves all distress
after eating. Furthermore, as was care.,
iuiiy explained by our venerable friend, IL
is absolutely harmless.
Better evidence of the Shakers conf
aencc IN II could not be found, than in tho
fact that they have placed 10 cent sample
bottles In the hands pf all druggists, as.
sured that II once tried 1t will produce
such immediate and marked benefit that
it will be continued.

AN INDIAN EXECUTION.
Returned OF His Own Accord to Me,
the Death Sentence.

Returned OF His Own Accord to Meet
the Death Sentence.
Chelsea, l. T., Nov. l.. Yesterday
John Watka, the Creek Indian who
shot Jonas Deer another member Of
his tribe, was legally executed for the
crime. The men were rivals for the
hand Of the same girl and fought at a
dance at which she was present to de-
eide who should gain her. Watka killed
Deer and afterwards married the In
dian maiden.
Several days prior to the time for the
execution preparations for his wife's
future welfare were completed, and the
pain of parting over Watka set out
alone to the public execution grounds.
In due time he arrived. and the crowd
was waiting. The prisoner assumed
his position on bended knees with arms
tied behind him and a bandage over
his eyes. The rifle was placed in the
hands Of a good marksman: the sharp
crack Of the rifle was heard, and the
white spot marked for the heart was
discolored with squirting blood caused
by the bullet
Late this summer Watka went to
Kansas City with a baseball nine of
his fellow reds and played a game at
one of the parks. He had ample op-
portunity to escape. but returned to the
territory of his own accord that his
sentence might be carried out.

CEenp Nnugst.ernae Money.

A southern firm advertises 5 varieties
Of Confederate bills for rs cents, also a
"rare collection Of 30 different bills and
shinplasters for only 49," Apparently
the firm has millions Of dollars worth
Of this money for sale cheap.
What pity that our old fogy consti-
tuition is in the wayl But for it the
cheap money advocates in any state
where they have majority could buy
up this whole Confederate outfit and
start in business at once. The amount
of prosperity and happiness that could
be extracted from this old paper mine
would depend upon the size tpopulation)
Of the state fortunate enough to secure
the monetary outfit.
For instance, it would probably give
Nevada more than 1000 per capita and
would at once transform her from one
IF the poorest to one of the wealthiest
Of states Instead Of sagebrush and
prizefights she would TEEN with gran
aries and warehouses Down with q
constitution which prevents state homo
rule in monetary affairs and the mani
fold blessings of cheap money!

holds the prospect is rather gloomy.
In his estimation there are too many

that Bach has good appointment, that
John G. Higgins has been provided for, as

from this text: Wherefore, sirs, be Of

In his predatory remarks he alluded TO
the power of God to save men, and he
therefore exhorted all men to beof good

will sustain in adversely as well us in sun

storm tossed ship were preserved for pur-
pose Paul must appear before Caesar.
People speak of faith as u myth, but in
doing SO they make u great mistake. Ho
believed in the promise OF God, and the
protection afforded by tho minstering an.
gels which surround us, the air is full of
them. The faith of Paul was worthy of
emulation. Every christian should labor
to save others If he wishes to save himself.
There was no forsaken class. He alluded
to the amnesty to the men engaged in the
Rebcllion, and those who were excluded
were rendered very bitter toward their
country, and fled to foreign lands but
when general amnesty was declared most
of them gladly returned God had am

The promise was to every one. do did
not believe that everything was going to
run-even If cheap Sunday excursions
were carrying away members Of churches,
and Sunday school teachers were led to
take spins on their bicycles. Paul did not
undertake to save the vessel and the prop
erty on board, but he undertook to save the
lives of the men. and they were saved.
He spoke of the want Of n religion to
make men temperate and sober, and to
bear af1liction, and the loss of members
Of their families. Ho asked If friends
