how we can afford to do it and why it is
best for us. We have had all told 500
pieces more or less of Dress Fabrics dur

enough To estimate that the loss sustain

NO JOBS FOR BOYS.
West Point Graduates VIII Wait O While
for Promotion.

Washington, June 14.-Adjutant GEN
eral Ruggles has returned to Washington
from the West Point, where he distribu-
ted the diplomas to the graduates of the
military academy. The graduating class
numbered 67 young men, and the officers
are disturbed over the fact that there
is not at present single actual vacancy
for the boys who, in consequence, with
commissions as second lieutenants until
in the course of time they may be as
signed to second lieutenants in the high
er grades AT the present moment there
are still six of the graduates of last year
awaiting their turn for vacancies in the
undesirable places of additionals
The officers at the department. are dis
posed to attribute this unsatisfactory
state of affairs to the appointment of an
undue number of men from the ranks
to commissioned places, which the pres
emit law appears to require. This year s
graduating class from West Point is said
to be unusually strong at all points as
an evidence of which seven of the boys
have been recommended for assignment
to the engineer corps. The nominations
of the graduates as additional second
lieutenants probably will be sent to the
Senate soon.

TOWED BY A MOOSE.
How a Big Swimmer in Sebec Lake PLAYED
Horse With the Steamer Marion.

Up on Sebec lake, says the Bangor Com.
mercial, they have steamboats, and lots
of other things; the latest is moose
which can do a towing business. Satur-
day while the good steamer Marion, Her
sey, master, was passing up through the
narrows in -Sebec lake, a big bull moose
was sighted swimming toward the craft
to cross her bow.
Capt. Hersey saw the bull in good time
snd he got out his biggest hawser and
put on little more steam just to bring
his boat up alongside the moose. When
he got into comfortable distance he let
go the hawser like lasso and the big
rope settled over the head of the big fell
low an d caught him fast.
The Marion is sturdy little craft, but
she wasn't built for moose. The bull
swan straight on for while, towing
the boat after him and playing boss
generally with everything within reach.
just in the height Of the fun he gave a
sudden turn to starboard, put straight
abo'lt and with full speed on in both
engine rooms let himself out for shore,
the steamer dragging along behind.
All the passengers offered free advice as
to how to get the moose out into the
lake again, but meanwhile the rocks of
the shore were getting nearer. Finally
Capt. Hersey cast off his line and let the
moose get ashore, up which he fled and
disappeared in the forest.

REORGANIZATION UNION PACIFIC.
Committee Expect to Make Public Plan
Within Short Time.

Boston, June 14.-Within a short time
the reorganization committee is expected
to make public its new plan for the reor-
ganization of the Union Pacific railroad,
as assurances have been received that the
plan will be acceptable to the representa-
tives of the government. The new plan
is said to provide for the securing of the
road by the reorganization committee for
the actual net sum of S28 691 1856, although
the minimum bid was fixed at S45, 754, 900.
1t is said that the plans for reorganiza-
ton have proceeded so far that the
changes to be made in the board of
directors have been decided upon and

be reduced under the new plan to SIS, 600,

allotment of preferred stock to the Union
! Pacific sinking fund eighths and the
| Kansas Pacific controls. The reorganiza-
ton committee has now secured practical

THE DISORDERS IT CAUSES AND THE
PoISONS IT INsTILS IN THE BLOOD.

II we only knew how dangerous, insidious

not wait as we do before endeavoring to cure 1T.
The longer we wait, the more dangerous it is
likely to become
SO the sooner we take Shaker Digestive Cor
dial the better it will be. and the better we will

Indigestion is dangerous because it creates
poisons in the stomach which are absorbed by
the blood and by it carried to all parts of the
body.
Could anything be worse than this?
These posons would not be formed if the
stomach could digest its food. When it can't
Shaker Digestive Cordial will help il to do so.
Nothing will help the stomach so well as
Shaker Digestive Cordial, nothing else cure 10
digestion so quickly, or SO positively.
The reason is that it purifes the stomach
