RETURN OF CONQUERING HEROES.
New York Goes Wildly Enthusiastic Over

New York Goes Wildly Enthusiastic Over
SIMPSONS Squadron.
New York, Aug. %. - Hundreds of
thousands of people along the banks Of
the Hudson and thousands on all styles
royal welcome to the returned North
Atlantic squadron under command of
Rear Admiral Sampson, and as fine as
August day as could be desired was
natures tribute to the return of the
victors. For almost three solid hours
steam whistles of all sizes. steam sirens
and small guns along the shores,
shrieked and doomed in the effort to
display the heartiest enthusiasm for
the homecoming of the naval heroes
with their battle SCARED ships. The
ships taking part in the parade were
the New York (flagsh %, Iowa, Indiana,
Brooklyn, Massachusetts. Oregon and
Texas.
When the parade reache the River
side Drive the scene was like a vast
amphitheatre. Tens of thousands OF
persons covered the green slope, and as
the battleships approached a mighty
cheer arose that reverberated back and
forth ac,Ass the Hudson. At the bot
tom Of the slope an observation train
crawled lazily along. keeping even with
the ships. Above this the vast sea of
humanity, and browning this General
Grants tomb, which was to mark the
beginning of the return Of the squad
ron and where national salute Of
twenty-one guns was fired. The tomb,
standing high, white and solemn, far
above the waters Of the river, looked to
be built upon a foundation of faces
1t was an imposing spectacle as the
battleships b,ssmed a salute to the ma
tomas the warships saluted the final
resting place Of General Grant. and the
guns that sounded the knel of Admiral
Cervera's ships at Santiago doomed a
reverential obeisance to the dead hero.
The salute ended, the return of the
squadron along the line of review was
begun. 1t was repetition of the en-
thusiastic scenes on the way up the
river.

According to a celebrated anatomist
there are upwards Of 5000, 600 little
glands in the hum stomach. These
glands pour out digestive juices
which dissolve or digest the food. In
digestion is want Of juice, weakness Of
glands, need Of help to restore the
health OF these organs. The best and
most natural help Is that given by
Shaker Digestive Cordial Natural,
because it supplies the materials need
ed by the glands to prepare the diges-
tive juices. Because it strengthens
and invigorates the glands and the

Not Always Understood

A fact often overlooked Or not always
understood, is that women suffer as
much from distressing kidney and
/ bladder troubles as the men. The
| womb is situated back Of and very
close TO the bladder. and for that reas-
on any distress. disease or in eonven-
fence manifested in the kidneys, back.
bladder or urinary passage is often by
mistake attributed to female weakness
or womb trouble Of some sort.
The error is easily made and may
be as easily avoided by setting urine
aside for - hours; a sediment or set
thing is evidence that your kidneys
and bladder need doctoring. If you
have pain or dull aching in the back,
pass water too frequently or scanty
supply with smarting or burning
these are also convincing proofs Of
kidney trouble. Ii you have doctored

assumed The name IL rendered by
the telegraph as u. H. Beach" There
is no such lieutenant on the army list,
and as he is accredited to the Third
and the initials tally it is inferred that
Lieut. Beacon is meant. He has been
in the Third for some years and was
known in Montana as a most dashing
officer. One of his Indian exploits is
told in the army as thing worth
re cording. He was with Admiral Count
Ito at the time of the destruction Of the
Chinese fleet in the battle Of the Yalu
and about a year ago was detailed as
military instructor at West Point.
Lieut.. Bundy was acting regimental
quartermaster at the time the Third
was ordered away from Smelling and
had to make desperate effort to pre-
vent himself from being left behind.
He luckily got away with his regiment
and gets his step. Mrs Bundy is still
at Smelling
