Never pull in your sign in a home paper while you ex- pect 10 do business.-Peter Cooper.

According to Q celebrated anato- mist there are upwards of 5,00O,OOO little glands in the human stomach. These glands pour out the digestive juices which diss0Jye or digest the food. Indigestion 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 Cor dial. Natural, because it supplies the materials needed by the glands to prepare the digestive juices. Because it strengthens and invigorates the glands and the stomach, until they are able to do their work alone. Shaker Digestive Cordial cures indi- gestion certainly and permanently. Ii does so by natural means, and therein lies the secret of it's wonder ful and unyaried success.

 We should measure ourselves by the standard of righteousness set by the Saviour, and the difference between ou1 lives and his is the measure of our shortcoming before God.

Washington, Sept. S0.-It was learned
on good authority last night that Gen.
Miles would 60 before the army inves-
tigating commission TO testify as to
his knowledge Of the Santiago cam
paign. It was also stated that the
commission would 20 to Santiago to
look into Skaters management Of the
campaign and investigate on the
ground all complaints as to the al.
legged mismanagement in connection
with the different departments now
under investigation. This is consid.
cred step Of the greatest Importance,
as it was not believed that the COM
mission would take up the case Of
Gen. Miles or that Of the Santiago
campaign at all, and is regarded as an
evidence Of the thoroughness with
which the investigation is to be made.
The war department, as represen ted
by Secretary Alger and Adjt. Gen.
Corbin, is prepared for the contest,
and all the correspondence and tele-
grams which passed between Gems.
Shafter and Miles and the war de-
partment regarding the Santiago
campaign have been prepared for the
use OF the commission, and are ready
to be laid before 1t at any time.

COMMISSIONERS AT WORK.
United States Representative Hold First
Session ut Parla-French journal Fore
casts Probable Result

Paris, Sept 20.-The United States
peace commission went into session at
II o'clock yesterday morning. The
Gaulois says:
In spite OF the mystery surrounding the mat
tor, we are able, from IL high source, to give an
outline OF the position OF both commissions
While the Americans have instructions which
are much more precise than those Of the
Spaniards, there Is diversity Of opinion In
regard TO the Philippines Senator Gray
Is very ardent democrat and consequent
ly belongs to the party which repudiates ex-
panslon He opposes Nil annexation, and bis
opinion, therefore, totally differs from that Of
the other four commissioners. some Of whom
would be content with coaling station Of the
Philippines, possibly Cavte, while others,
like Senator Davis advocate the annexation
OF the whole archipelago.
The Gaulois, however, believes that
the Americans, by mutual concessions
will come TO an agreement and that
they will all be largely influenced by
Maj Gen. Merritt's reports on the sit
uation.
The instructions to the Spanish COM
mission, according to the Gaulois, are,
briefly, TO hold out and make the best
terms possible. Madrid is we'll aware,
1t appears, that the commission, at
the best, only have to please the Span
ish people, and the only hopes enter
tanned are that the Americans will not
abuse the situation too much. Popu-
lar sentiment In Spain, it Is added,
thinks it better to abandon the Phil
ippine islands than to keep them un-
der conditions rendering them ungov.

ton decided interests directly between
1000 and 5000 officers, and, indirectly,

teer service, because In most states
the law provides for the cleo.
ton of the officers by the men
before the governor commissions
them. The case upon which Mr. Boyd
passed arose in the Fifth Missouri.
Before that regiment was mustered in
Gov. Stephens commissioned Charles
M. OBrien captain OF company A.
After the regiment was mustered in
the governor and Capt OBrien had a
falling out Stephens notified him he
would not issue him new commits

that he had to give new ones after the
regiment was in the volunteer army.
Attorney General Griggs holds that
the commission Of the governor Of
Missouri, issued before the regiment
went into service, Is warrant for the
exercise Of authority by OBrien. He
holds Gov. Stephens cannot create q
