We live in a country of which the
principle scourge is stomach trouble.
1t is more widespread than any her
disease, and, very nearly, more danger
GUS
One thing that makes il so dangerous
is that it is so little understood.
If it we're better understood, it would
be more feared. more easily cured, less
universal than lis now.
So those who wish to be cured, take
Shaker Digestive Cordial because it goes
to the root of the trouble as no other
medicine does. The Eure, harmless,
curative herbs and plants, of which it is
composed, are what render it 80 certain
and, at the same time, so gentle a cure.
1t helps and strengthens the stomach,
purifies and tones up the system.

PITNEY GUEST.
John Danner Adds Some Interesting
Data to the Pike Township
History.

Editor News Democrat:-I was much
interested in reading the article of your
correspondent, Hustler in Saturday s
Democrat, giving some history of
the early settlers Of Pike township. l
have no doubt that in the main said
things in regard to Pitney Guest that
desire to add and correct. Pitney Guest
was an hOnored, ordained minister of the
Baptist denomination. 1 first became
acquainted with him in 1S43 and knew
him well until his death in 1856. His
preaching was mostly in Pike township
and in country churches, such as at Indi IN
Run, Magnolia and Sugar, Creek, but he
has preached both in Canton and Mas
slllon. He was with us at the time of the
organization of our Baptist church in
this city, in 1S49 and participated in the
exercises He was man we all loved
and respected. Considering the ad-
vantages they bad in those days he was q
most excellent preacher. He also held
the office Of Justice Of the peace in Pike
township Tor many years, as did his son,
Washington Guest, in later years.
His death was not at the Ft. Wayne
crossing in this city as stated by your
correspondent, but happened in the vlcin-
ity Of Adam Richards wagon making
shop, in Pike township, about one mile
this side of the Guest farm. Washington
Guest, his son, who was driving at the
time rf the accident, related to me the
whole circumstance and pointed out the
very spot near the above named shop
where his father was thrown out of the
wagon and instantly killed Mother
Guest, widow Of Rev. Guest, was q
member of our Baptist church in Canton
at the time of her death in 1874.

HYATT RECOVERING.
HIS ESCAPE FROM STRANGULA
TION WAS A NARROW ONE.
Found Lying in the Mud and Much Work

Normal State.

Required to Get Him Into
Normal State.
Frank Hyatt, of 132 East North street,
was found lying face downward in the
gutter near the street car switch on East
North street Saturday evening about s
O'Clock. The man was discovered by
two children of Peter Suhlssler who were
returning home and who at once in
formed their father. MIR. Schissler has
tened to the spot and drew the man from
the gutter. He was almost submerged
in mud. The patrol wagon was called
and the halfdead man was taken to the
police station where DIR. Il. ID. Brant
worked for two hours in resuscitating
him. Mud by the handful was taken
from his mouth and throat and his eyes
were plastered shut. After he had
sufficiently recovered he was taken home
in Sdilling's ambulance Becoming
delirious DR.. M. O. Foulk was summon
ed He administered quisting draughts
and the patient rested we'll through the
night.
Sunday he was much improved but was
unable to tell just how he happened to
be in the predioament he was rescued
from. Two bad bruises one on each side
of the head, led to the theory of an as
sault, but the police do not take this view.
Hyatt is employed at the Harvard shops.
He drew his pay Saturday, gave portion
to his wife and started up town at 4
O'Clock. Just what occurred between that
hour and the time he was discovered in
the mud is difficult to determine. He
will be able to go to work in few days.

and nearly every letter in the boxes was
blown out upon the floor. The robbers
secureda small sum Of money and S165

was stolen and 1t is believed the safe

escaping.
Postoffice Inspector Owen investigated
Sunday. In company with Mr.. Michael
Bar of the local postoflice he made a
thorough examination. To News-Dem-
ocrat reporter last evening he stated that
it was his opinion that the work was done
by burglars who operate out of Chicago
and Cleveland. These experts have been
attacking postofiices all over the country

police and was closeted some time with
Officer Dorland who evidently knew
something about the matter.
