After meals you should have simply
. feeling Of comfort and satisfaction.
You should not feel any special indi-
cations that digestion is going on. If
you do, you have Indigestion, which
means not-digestion. This may be
the beginning Of so many dangerous
diseases, that 1t is best to take it in
hand at once and treat It with Shaker
Digestive Cordial. For You know that
indigestion makes poison, which caus-
es pain and sickness. And that Shak-
or Digestive Cordial helps digestion
and cures indigestion. Shaker Diges-
tive Cordial does thin by providing
the digestive materials, in which the
sick stomach is wanting. It also
tones up and strengthens the diges-
tive organs and makes them perfectly
healthy. This lie the rationale Of its
method OF cure, as the doctors would
say. Sold by Druggists. Price, 1o

ANTI JEWISH DEMONSTRATION.

The MobsExhlbits Its Hatred of the
Hebrews by Bitter Denunclations
II Rowdy Marchlng-Finally Dis
persed by the Police.
Paris, Feb. 21.-Two thousand people
assembled yesterday afternoon i'm front
Of the Saint Pelagic prison, well known
as a prison for offending journalists, to
greet Henri Rochefort, editor of The
Intransigeant, on entering to serve a
sentence Of five years Imprisonment for
libeling Joseph Reinach, Conservative
deputy for the district of Digne and
editor of The R]epublique Franchise, by
charging him with intending to prove
the innocence of Alfred Dreyfus by the
use of forged documents.
1t was 4 o'clock before NJ. Rochefort
arrived. The crowd tloCked around his
carriage, shouting, "Vive Rochefort'
and 'Vive la commune" the police be-
ing powerless to restrain them. M.
Rochefort alighted, waving his hand
kerchief, and escorted by the people
walked to the prison gates. About 50
Of his friends accompanied him inside
the building, amid continuous cheers
from the %populace. The warders, with
the governor of the prison at their
side, were waiting, cap in hand, and
respectfully received the prisoner.
Suddenly a new gathering of $500,
headed by NM. Millevoye, Thiebaud
and Regis, marched coward the Panthe-
On, yelling, Down with Zola' and
death to the Jews" The police form
ed across the road and stopped the
progress of the demonstrators. NM.
Thiebaud and Millevoye began har-
angueing the crowd from some steps,
despite the efforts of the police to dis
lodge them. M. Thiebaud ~eulOgized NJ.
Rochefort as " the man who will toll
the knell Of the Jews" Finally the
mob dispersed, amid shouts Of Cons
puez lola" and similar cries.
1t is variously estimated that from
10000 to $4,000 people took part in the
demonstration. This suffices to show
that public feeling is unchanged NJ.
Rochefort had promised to meet his ad-
mirers in the Palace Monge and had in
dicated his intended route to the prison
in The Intransigeant, on learning,
however, that the troops We're to be
called out he changed his route to the
by streets, in order to avoid a collision.
With the close of Saturdays session
of the Zola trial the defense announced
that it would call no more witnesses.
This course was practically forced upon
lola and his counsel because of the
growing disposition of she judge to pre-
vent any leading questions to be asked
of the army officers.
The session Saturday was the scene
of constant uproar and sharp passages
between the presiding judge and NJ.
Laborie, Zola's counsel, who made a
strong, but useless fight to obtain evil
dence from the witnesses,
Everybody looks upon zola's convic-
ton as certain. The trial will, how
ever, certainly be quashed by the court
of appeals and be retired over again at
Versailles. Dreyfus' friends are still
very hopeful that the revelations of this
trial must force a revision of his trial.
The names of towns where it is likely
the fresh trial will be held are being
discussed. Some hin Algiers, others
say Douai.

THE SITUATION MOST GRAVE.
''If France Wants War He Wish VIII
Doubtless BE Gratified."

''If France Wants War Her Wish WIN
Doubtless BE Gratlhed."
London, Feb. 21.-It is asserted on
good authority hat the Royal Niger
company has been instructed, after try
ing all peaceable means, to compel the
retirement of the French from British
territory by force. The sultanate Of
Sokoto is a ~feudatory of the company,
and was recently placed under British
protection.
The situation is regarded as extreme
ly grave. Great B~ritain's forces in the
protectorate district number between
5000 and 6,00N men under British officers
in Lagos and the gold coast Hinterland
and at the three separate points of
British and French territorial disputes,
Boria, Wac and Argungu.
The Daily Mail says it has received
confirmation of the news from Sokoto.
The Times, commenting editorially on
the news from SOkoto, says it cannot
credit the report, and reproves the
levity of the French press regarding a
graVe situation. The presence of a
French force at Argungu, The Times
declares, would be so fragrant a breach
of any possible construction of the Say
Barua agreement of 1890 (Anglo-French
treaty at Busah) that nothing but it's
immediate withdrawal could avert the
most deplorable consequences"
Other papers publish similar articles
urging Lord Salisbury to intimate plain
ly that Great Britain's limit of "squeez-
ability" has been reached.
The Morning Post says eff France
is really making deliberate plans to an
mex British territory by military occu-
patton this can only imply that she de-
sires val with England. In that case
her wish will doubtless be gratifed."

DREYFUs, REAL CRIME.


0On Daily
London, Feb. 21.-The Daily Telegraph
publishes this morning an alleged ex-
PLANTATION Of the Dreyfus mystery. Ac-
cording to this explanation a secret
compact between Russia and Germany
existed before the Franco-Russian al
lance was arranged. Under it's terms
Russia undertook to supply Germany
with all the information o~btahnable by
spies or otherwise regarding French
military affairs, Germany supplying
Russia in return with information con-
corning another power, presumably
AustrO-Hungary.
Dreyfus discovered and traded upon
this compact. Whether the bOrdereau
was written by him or not, it was mere
ly the ostensible basis of the indictment
againsthim. The real secret document
referred to a compact, the revelation
of which would nave imperilled the
Russian alliance.
The same motives Of secrecy, says
The Daily T~elegraph's informant, will
compel the different governments to
deny the truth of this explanation,
which is nevertheless correct.
