 The bloodhound is now used only in the pursuit of criminals Every South- ern penitentiary has a brace or more of them. They are not infrequently part of the Sheriff's outfit The breed is not always pure, but the dogs serve their purpose better than fairly well. Their keenness of scent is one of the most remarkable things in nature, though it Is of value chiefly in the more thinly settled regions. It seems incredible that the mere temporary pressure of a mans boot or shoe upon the ground should leave a traceable scent for twenty-four hours, providing that there has been no rain, but there is no doubt that it does. Sometimes in the South a murderer breaks jail. Until the universal introduction of chilled steel cages this was not diffi- cult matter. Dogs are telegraphed for at a distance probably of 15O miles. They arrive a day after the escape. They are led in leash to the point where the criminal is supposed to have made his exit and uncoupled. They take up the scent instantly and follow it rapidly. The | man must have crossed much water or confused his trail with the hurrying footsteps of dozens of others to throw them off. Always supposing that twenty-four hours is the extreme limit of law allowed the fugitive the bloodhounds are the best means of effecting his capture. Having far to
 travel, they do not bay. They have no breath to waste.-Chicago Times Herald.

BANEFUL INDIGESTION.
The Disorders It Causes and the Poi
 sons it Instils in the Blood.

If we only knew how dangerous, in-
 sidious and ruthless disease indiges-
 tion is, we would not wait as we do be-
 fore endeavoring to cure it.
 The longer we wait, the more dan
 gerous it Is likely to become.
 So the sooner we take Shaker Digest
 i've Cordial the better it will be, and the better we will be.
 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 poisons would not be formed if the stomach could digest it's food. When it can't, Shaker Digestive Cor dial will help 1t to do so. Nothing will help the stomach so we'll | as Shaker Digestive Cordial, nothing else cure indigestion so quickly, or so positively.
 l The reason is that it purifes the sto- mach and the blood, and makes your food strengthen instead of poison you. | It is not a medicine, but an aid to l digestion, pleasant cordial for weak l stomachs.
 | Sold by druggists. Ten cents for a trial bottle.

DEATH OF RALPH STEPHENS.

Ralph, only son OF Mr.. and Mrs. Dayton
w. Stephens, was born in East Sullivan,
Dec. 10, 1882, and there, on Oct. Is, 1898,
he passed from this life. On the mint
inst. he was stricken with ascending
paralysis, which in six short days resulted
in death.
Ralph was but few months old when
his father died, yet he lacked nothing OF
parental love and care. Since infancy he
has lived with his grandparents, Capt.
and Mrs. Oliver Bragdon, who have been
to him all that the most devoted parents
could possibly be. While the mother,
Mrs. James Havey, of West Sullivan, is
deeply afflicted in his death, yet it is the
grandparents who will miss him most
He has been to them as youngest son.
He was SO kind and good, so thoughtful
and attentive for one of his age that he
will be sorely missed from the home. He
them the bow of promise for the
future.
The deceased was great favorite among
his playmates and schoolmates, as also he
was in the eyes of all his teachers. He
was very studious, great reader, good
