Dig down to the cause of your sickness
if you want to get well and stay well.
Most likely it's indigestion. The irritat-
ing poisons of fermenting, putrid food,
left in the stomach by Indigestion, cause
headache, neuralgia, nervousness, dizzl-
ness, stomach-ache, nausea. irritability,
and all the other well-known symptoms
of Indigestion.
They also cause many pains and disor-
ders 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 disappear, be-
cause there is nothing left to cause them.
Nothing succeeds in this like Shaker Di-
gestve Cordial, because it prevents the
undigested food from fermenting in the
stomach and helps the stomach to digest
its food.

BEeeINe ZOE CURANs.

Bah! why all this begging for Cuba,
She wants not the poor beggar's pence.
It's freedom so dear she is craving;
But we sit, like all gawks, on the fence.
We dare not come out like brave free
men,
And stand for her rights, like friend;
But let her brave loyal defenders,
Be hunted, and starved to the end.
And now after years of fierce war
fare
To rid her fair isle of it's foes;
In which we've looked on in our 81
lence,
Even careful, to keep off spain's toes.
We think to make due compensation,
BY begging, that she may have food,
To feed her poor suffering remnant,
A most odd, egotistical mood.
If our sympathies are with the Cubans
For her rights let US bravely contend
Stand forth a glorious Republic,
Her acknowledge, and boldly defend.
This done.-swords could be turned into
pillow shares
The Cubans have food of their own.
Where now flows the brave blood of
martyrs,
Soon the life giving grain could be
grown.

Havana, Jan. 13.-About 100 army of
fcers, incensed by the violent attacks
made by some of the local papers on
officers of the army in Cuba, went to
the printing Office of the daily journals
La Discussion and Ell RecOncetrado
and began smashing the windows and
destroying the printing outfit, as well
as cutting the employees
The mob of thousands followed shout
ing:
Long live Spain!'' Long live the
army!" Long live the Volunteers!''
The appearance at the office of La
Discussion of Gen. Garriche, acting mil
itary commander at Havana, and Senior
SolanO, chief of the staff, prevented
more serious outrages. These officers
then proceeded to the office of Ell Diaro

death to La Discussion"
But on the appearance of Gen. Par

JERRY AND BRYAN AGREE.
Congressman Simpson Says Fusion
Must be Complete in 1900.

Washington, Jan. 13.-Jerry Simpson
yesterday sent this telegram to a New
York paper:
MY attention has been called to a
statement by William ]. Bryan in Chi
cago to the effect that in the presiden-
tiaI contest of 1900 it will be the part of
wisdom for the Democrats to again
unite with the PopuIists and free silver
Republicans. I do not concur in this
view, but I do not believe that the
Democrats alone can muster votes
enough at the polls to beat the gold
standard advocates, for that includes
a large number of the Democratic par
ty, and to offset this lead they must
get POpulists and free silver votes.
Ia my opinion, Bryan can get nearly
the solid vote of these two parties.
They have unbounded confidence in his
honesty, integrity, ability and devotion.

oHIo's CHOICE.

The selection of Mark A. Hanna to
represent Ohio in the United States
senate will cause no surprise in the
country. 1t will perhaps be said by po-
litical opponents of the senator that he
has given no evidence of possessing
those qualifications usually considered
as necessary to the make up of a mem
Der of the highest legislative body in
the land. It may be pointed out that
he has held nc minor offices, has not
been a member of the state legislature,
a congressman or governor. But
such qualifications as these receive lit
tie consideration in Ohio.
A state that could sent Henry B.
Payne and Calvin s. Brice to the Uni
ted States senate, can hardly fail to be
satisfied with Mr.. Hanna. The chair
man of the Republican national com
mittee is not even a lawyer, and may
reasonably be suspected of being IN
familiar with even the rudiments of po-
htical economy, but, he is a successful
irOnmonger and politician.
To be sure a business man would not
think of selecting a person wholly with
out experience in his particular line to
take a place as one of the managers
until he had served an apprenticeship
In some of the departments, but no
body expects the government to be
conducted on business principles.
A majority of the people of Ohio vo-
ted for Mr.. Hanna's election last fall
and they had a right to expect and to
demand that the Legislature would rat
ify their choice. AS long as they are
satisfied, the people of other states have
no right to complain, however they may
be dispIeased with the selection. Their
only recourse is to send enough of an
other kind of men 20 the senate to null
lily Mr.. Hanna's influence.

STATEHOOD CONVENTION.
Assemblies at Kingisher Today With
Good Prospects for a Row.

Kingisher, o. T., Jan. 13.-The inter-
partisan statehood convention will meet
here today. Involved in its delfbera-
lions are the removal of the capital and
the question of free homesteads for
Cherokee strip settlers.
The west side favors immediate
statehood for Oklahoma with present
boundaries, expecting to take the cap
itaI from Guthrie.
The least side" wants statehood de-
ferred until Oklahoma and Indian Ter
ritory be admitted as one state, beIiev-
ing this would effectually retain the
capital.
The free silver element opposes i'm
mediate statehood, fearing the election
of Republican senators. Cherokee
strip opposes Immediate statehood,
deeming free homes, more important
and fearing to ask congress for too
much at once.
big split is sure to occur and excit-
ing scenes are anticipated.
