Dig down to the cause of your SICK
ness, if you want to get well aud stay
well. Most likely it's Indigestion. The
irritating poisons of fermenting, put.
rid food, left in the stomach by indi-
gestiop, cause headache. neuralgia,
Nervousness, nizziness. stomachache,
nausea, irritability, and all the other
well-bnown symptoms of Indigestion.
They also cause many pains and dis
orders which are often laid to other
causes and hence are not easily cured
But AS soon as the poisons are removed,
all these symptoms and disorders dis
appear, because there is nothing left to
cause them. Nothing succeeds in this
like Shaker Digestive Cordial, because
it prevents the undigesIed food from
fermenting in the stomach and helps
the stomach to digest it's food.

alton. Custom has made them believe
the only hope Of reliefliss it the ex-
posure OF examination and '1ocal

LIQUOR AT BUENA VISTA

The first bill reached Oh the calenda
of tie Virginia Senate on Thursday
last was the one to prohibit tie sale OF
liquor within two miles OF Buena VISTA
Mr.. Letcher offered an amendment
which provided in effect that wheney'r
local option should cease to exist in the
city of Buena Vista, then the prov s.
ions of t. G act should n, t apply to the
territory within two miles # he city.
This was agre d to and MIR Letcher
spoke in OPPOSITE n to the bill. He
was opposed on piioc pie to legisla-
ton OF this sort. The .cltv of Buena
Vista had voted to prob bit the sale of
liquor within bord,rs and now it
was prop sed to extend the operations
of the law into territory where the
people had not voted on the PROPOSE
ton, II such an act as this were pass
ed then, if whole county should pro-
hibit the sale of liquor the Legislature
could enact law to extend the pro
hibitiou into adjoining counties.
Mr.. Letcher was asked il three
fourths CT the residents of the terri
tory in question had not petiiioned the
Legislature 10 pass this act. His re-
ply was that he had received many pc
titions and a numt er of the signers
were persons residing in the city and
had voted on the proposition.
The bill was advocated by Messrs
Flanagan and Flood, both OF whom
contended that local option would be
ineffective in Buena Vista If man
could come within len feet of the cor
pora limits and open barroom. Mr..
Flood said he had petition from a
majority of the residents OF the t@rri-
tory praying the passage of the act.
Mr. Mushbach confessed 10 mi d
form of surprise at the position as
sumed by Mr.. Letcher. He believed
the people of Buena Vista wanted the
bill passed. There was no OPPOSITE N
to it as far az he was aware except
from a lawyer, who resided in Licking
ton. Mr.. Mushbach agreed that loci
opt on would be entirely ineffective If
barrooms were broken up within the
limits, and the privilege OF
conducting saloons just outside the
limits of city or town were allowed.
The bill received the support OF Mr..
Parr, who was convinced that the
people of BueLa Vista and the terri
tory within two miles of the city, de-
sired the act to be passed.
Mr.. Letcher closed the debate. The
bill in his judgment was aimed at
stillery just outside the corporate
imita, and its effect would be to rob
he owner Of his veste | rights. He
ffered an amendment 10 strike from
he bill the provision with reference to
be distillery. This was voted down,
md the bill was passed.

PRIVATE ALLEN ON THE NEW
PRO SPEHlTY.
washington Post.)

Representative john Allen, of Tupt 10
has gwen a new application to an ole
story. It is The tale of the negro who
baked a 'possum, went to sleep beside
it and when he awoke the 'possum was
gone.
"About the time the 'pos:um was
DONE" said Mr.. Allen. "another slick
little darkey slipped in and stole bis
possum and ate it all up. Then he
took the bones, put them down in front
of the oil man, creased his lips with
'possum grease and put 'possum grease
over his fingers. When the old man
woke up he looked and his 'pcssum
was gone. He saw the bones lying III
front of him. He sa. 'possum grease
on his fingers and he tasted 'possum
grease on bis lips, and he said : "Well
can it be possible dat ! eat dat 'pcssum
while I was asleep? 1t do look like I
must have eat him, but TO God dat
'possum ha, less effect on my constitu-
tion dan any 'possum | ever befo' eat
Now" said Allen to his Republican
friends, "you tell us about prosperity
and show figures that l-oh ik,
prosperity, but TO God, this prospect
ty has less effect on my constitution
than any prosperity I ever had in my
life"
We do not like to accuse Private
Allen the wit of the House of Repre-
sentative of hiand larceny, but he
has 10 d the above story without giving
proper credit. The author of this
story is Col. J. d, H. Ross of this

THE WAR IS ON.

President Mckinley has thrown Of
the mask OF international bimetalhp
behind which he has been concealipt
himself, aud openly accepts as his ruiz
the gold standard dictation of the com
bined bankers and money lenders o.
the world,says the Wsynesboro Sent
mel. The President made this avowal
at Belshazzer feast in New York on
the evening Of January n.
Every bond and obligation OF the
United States, except the silver and
gold certificates, declares in the body
of the contract that they are payable in
coin. When these obligations were
incurred and bonds first issued, the
coin of the United States, of the civil
lied world, with the exception OF Great
ri tain, was gold and silver at ratio
of sixteen or fifteen and half OF sill
Yer to one OF gold.
A concerted movement was made by
the money lenders to destroy one-ha'f
the money of the world, and they did
not care which half they destroyed,
whether it was The gold or the silver
half. But as Great Britain was the
largest money lender, the first effort
Was made against silver, and aster a
few years the effort succeeded. til'er
was destroyed as money OF redemp-
ti,n. The debts of the world were
doubled. The people Of the world
made that much poorer and the money
kings that much richer,
But the people Of the United States,
having been cheated and deludsd into
entering into the conspiracy, prOtes-
ted against going any further. They
even claimed theright to 60 Lack to
the old standard, and declared in 1878,
when the bonded debt of the United
States was S1,794,735,65O, that all
the bonds of the United States, are pay
able principal and interest, at the option
of the Government Of the United States,
in silver dollars Of the coinage Of the
United States" And further, "that
such payment, is not in violation Of the
public faith, nor in derogation of the
rights Of public creditors"
This is the law of the land and
has been, but President Mckinney
said, whatever may be the language I
of the contract, the United States wi
all OF Its obligations in the
currency recognized as the best r
th oughout the civilized world at the b
lines OF payment"
Which means that The creditors b
shall be given the option-that the v
ndless chain shall continue to dragl c
gold out of the Treasury and make the a
ssue of more bonds necessary. C
President Mckinley knows that the "
tandard silver dollars of tho United I
States. coined under the Bland law n
md he Sherman law, are as good dol W
ars as any other dollars in the world, il
