The Shakers have made a great
hit. Their Digestive Cordial is said
to be the most successful remedy for
stomach troubles ever introduced.
1t Immediately relieves all pain and
distress after eating, builds up the
feeble system and makes the weak
strong
The fact is. foods properly di-
gested are better than so-called
tonics. The Cordial not only con-
tains food already dlgested, but is a
digester of other foods. Food that is
not digested does more harm than
good. People who use the Cordial
insure the digestion of what food
they eat and in this way get the ben
eft of it and grow strong.
The little pamphlets which the
Shakers have sent dru ggists for free
distribution, contain much interest
ing information on the subject OF
dyspepsia.

MIR. ALDAY'S WILL.
His Son Asks That It Be Set
Aside.
MAKES SENSATIONAL CHARGES

Alleges That the Deceased's Wife Used and
Exercised Many Undue and fraudulent
Practices and AIisrepresentations to In.
duce Him to Execute tho Document.
Edward Alday, of Moline, has be-
gun suit in the circuit court for the
setting aside of the will of his father,
the late Adam Alday, alleging that
the deceased was not of sound mind
and memory at the time Of the
draughtlng of the document pur-
porting to be his final testament.
Adam Alday died Nov. Z. 1894, leav-
ing surviving him his wife, Mrs.
Mary Alday, now by reason of subse-
quent marriage Mary Osborn, and
four children, William. Adolph and
Ed ward Alday and Katie Peterson.
The will, which was admitted to
probate Nov. IS. 1894, devised to the
widow all of the testator's estate,
both real and personal. she to dis
tribute the same by gift among her
children at any time during her life,
as TO her shall seem proper. Frank
Schrader and John H. Mueller ap.
pear as witnesses to the will. the
complainant states that his father'e
memory was SO impaired by long
continued and habitual indulgence
in the use of Intoxicating quors at
the time OF the making OF the will,
Jan. l, 1891, as to render him
wholly incapable of transacting or
binary business or making just and
proper distribution of his estate. He
further alleges that deceased's wife
used and exercised many undue arts
and fraudulent practices, and re-
sorted to falsehood and misrepresen-
tations to induce MIR. Alday to exc
cute the will; and that neither Mr.
Schrader nor Mr. Mueller were
present at the time the will was
signed, if it was signed by Mr.
Alday. and that the will is not that
of the deceased. Maj. Bsardsley
and G. j. Searle are counsel for
the complainant. who asks that the
will be set aside and declared null
and void.

Mrs. Luella Wake, wife of Charles
NJ. Wake, of Joslin, and q daughter
OF John Donahoo, of Moline, was
adjudged insane in the county court
yesterday afternoon before Judge
Lucian Adams and q jury COM
posed Of DR.. j. De Silva. Thomas
Bollman, William Ramskill, Max
Taxman, W. w. Eggleston and W. H.
Smith. Mrs. Wake is 80 years of
age. The supposed cause of her
mental arrangement is stomach trou-
BILE. The first symptoms appeared
about year ago when Mrs. Wake
began to act strangely toward her
husband. to whom she stated that
she was afraid some one was going to
steal her. She labors under the
thought that she will never recover
her health, and has refused to take
medicine, as she thinks it is poison.
The patient was taken to Jackson
vile today by Mr.. Wake. She goes
as private patient. and her speedy
recovery is hoped for by her friends.
