Dig down to the cause of your sick ness, if you want to get well and stay well. Most likely it's indiges- tion. Tine irritating poisons of fer menting, putrid food, left in the stomach by indigestion, cause head ache, neuralgia, nervousness, dizzi- ness, stomachache, nausea, irritabil- ity, and all the other Well-known symptoms of indigestion.
 They also cause many pains and disorders which are often laid to oth- CT causes and hence are not easily cured. But as soon as the poisons are removed, all these symptoms and disorders disappear, because there IS nothing Jeff to cause them. Nothing succeeds in this like Shaker Digestive Cordial, because it prevents the un- digested food from fcrmenting in the stomach and helps the stomach to digest it's food.

FIGHT IN DREYFUS' BEHALF.
GEN. ZURLdNDEN FORMERLY IN FA-
VOR OF THE REVISION.

Story Published in Paris That the
Change in His Opinion Is Due to
the Feelings of the Subordinates
in the War Ohice-Premier BrissOn
Had a Tough Fight Against the
Minister of War, Minister of Pub
lie Works and President Fnure-A
Report That Vessel Has Gone to
DEVILS Island to Bring Dreyfus to
Paris.
Paris, Sept. 1s.-The difficulties attend
ant upon securing a revision of the Drey-
fus proceedings may be gauged from the
story now published that Gen. Zurlinden
practically offered himself by advocating
a revision of the case, and that his
change of opinion is due to the strong feel
ing which he afterwards found among his
subordinates at the war Office.
According to newspaper accounts, which
are undoubtedly correct Premier Brisson
only got his way at Saturdays cabinet
colleagues, after tough fight against
Gen. Zurlinden and NJ. Tillaye, the min
lister of public works, who were warmly
supported for three hours by President
Faure himself.
The decision of the committee appoint
ed to consider the matter of the revision
will be in no way binding upon the cabinet
which will still have 10 decide the actual
question of revision.
1t is reported however that vessel
has already started for the Isle du Diable
in readiness to bring Dreyfus to Paris.
and NJ. Brisson and Gen. Chanoine are de-
termined that nobody, however high his
position, will be sheltered.
Stirring events are regarded as impend-
ing.
Gen. Zurlinden is credited with the belief
that there is a Picquart mystery and it
is believed that he fully intended that Pic
quart should be prosecuted.
According to Col. Picquart's written
statement to the minister of justice, four
secret documents were submitted to the
court martial held in 1894 behind the backs
of Dreyfus and his counsel.
II is reported that the government has
selected Beaubais, capital of the depart
mcnt of Disc, as the most suitable town
in which to hold a rehearing of the case.

ingham Hotel, to which place she came
as a guest in the early part Of the piers
social season.
She had been i'll for several weeks, and
a fortnight ago her ailment was diagnosed
as malaria gastritis.
At times her condition became very Sc
rious, so that consultations of physicians
were deemed necessary but frequent ral-
lies gave renewed hope that she would ul-
tmately recover.
During the past week especially was her
condition considered favorable, and 1t was
thought that her removal from the hotel
would be possible in a few days, as the
hotel had closed for the season, leaving
the patient and attendants practically
alone in the house.
Last night, however, a relapse in Miss
Davis condition was noticed, and through
out the night she lost strength percepti-
bly,. This morning the physician said
that the end was not far off, and at noon
death came to end the suffering, which
at times had been intense.
Mrs. Davis had watched unremittingly
at her daughters bedside, and she is now
bowed with sorrow. Mrs. Davis is hold
ing up with great calmness in her affiic-
tlon and no fears are at present enter
tanned Of her health yielding to the
strain.

ter her fathers death the engagement was
broken off. While no public explanation
