the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an infamed condition of the mucous sur

According to celebrated anatomist
there are upwards of 5000, 600 little glands
in the human stomach These glands
pour out the digestive juices which dis
solve or digest the food Indigestion is
want of juice, weakness of glands, need
of help to restore the health of these or
gans. The best and most natural help is
that given by Shaker Digestive Cordial.
Natural because it supplies the materials
needed by the glands to prepare the di-
gestive juices. Because it strengthens
and nvigorates the glands and the stom-
ach, until they are able to do their work
alone. Shaker Digestive Cordial cures
indigestion certainly and permanently,
1t does so by natural means, and therein
lies the secret of its wonderful and I'M
varied success.

Wants A niunrns.

Wants A Divorce.
For long time there have been rumors
that the relations between Edwin K. Mar
ter and his wife have been very much
strained. These rumors assumed definite
shape last week when w. Holt Apgar a
Trenton attorney, entered suit in the
Court of Chancery, on behalf of Mrs.
Marter against her husband, for alimony
and divorce
The parties live at Edgewater Park, and
Mrs. Marter, who is Matters second wife,
alleges that her husband who is "a years
old, is worth over $4,000. They were
married in 1898. For few weeks, Mrs.
Marter said, her husband was pleasant
enough, but his manner toward her
changed to very bad treatment after he
had returned from Virginia to visit to
his children by his former wife
Marter then refused to sleep in the
house and said he slept in the barn He
would come to the house for his meals
Mrs. Marter says she does not believe that
went to places where he ought not to have
gone. She claims illness by reason of his
treatment of her, which consisted of
blows and the forcing of her to do things
suit of her husbands acts she had to OBJ
tain treatment from a physician. He of
ten swore at her in the presence of their
servant and once fought with her in the
presence of her mother who was on her
death bed.
Getting tired of the barn, Marter made
bedroom for long time out of the par
Tor. He frequently charged Mrs. Marter
with infdelity, but never mentioned any
name, although at times he intimated that
she had been unfaithful with hucksters
and peddlers who called at the house
Oftentimes Marter charged that he heard
men going upstairs while he was asleep at
night in the parlor. Mrs. Marter denies
these charges of her husband. He refused,
she says, to buy her proper clothes and
food. Once when Marter attacked her,
Mrs. Marter said that she gave her hus-
band slight push which caused him to
fall down the stairs. Because of this
struggle she had him arrested and bound
over to keep the peace
A paragraph in the petition says: '1n
November, 1897, the said defendant came
up behind your oratrix, and, selling her,
placed her head so that by closing the
arm he could press violently against the
back of her head; and with his thumb
pressed her temple so long and so violent
ly that she became nearly unconscious;
that when her husband first grabbed her
in this position she did not realize that
he attempted personal violence, until,
finding that her consciousness was leaving
her, she besought him to let her go, when,
instead of so doing, he simply would
laugh at her and make the pressure more
severe; that she did finally wrench her
self away from him, but that she was so
exhausted and so nearly overcome that
she was hardly able to walk"
Mrs. Marter also charges that her hus-
band failed to manage her own real es-
tate as he promised to do, with the result
that it has greatly deprecated in value.

Joseph Wallace, Jr., of Palmyra, ended
his life on Tuesday evening, by shooting
himself The act seems to have been pre-
meditated, for early in the evening the
young man called on Rev Marshall Owens
and asked to be prayed with. Some time
was spent in devotion, during which Wal
lace several times broke down and wept
like a child. The minister tried to com
fort him and ascertain his trouble, but in
vain. The only information he could OBJ
tain was from some disjointed remarks
about disgrace that no one knew of. On
leaving the parsonage Wallace said: This
will be my last night on earth. :"
Mr. Owens was troubled by his visitors
peculiar manner, and, having Fremont
ton of pending evil, warned some of the
young mans friends as he hurried to
church, where the Christmas entertain
ment exercises had already commenced,
among whom was Bert Cooper, who re-
sides with the Wallace family, and who
Immediately went in search of his friend.
After fru1tless hunt Cooper returned to
the Wallace home, where he found the
lifeless body of the young man in the
kitchen. Close at hand lay ~ bore shot
gun and fence paling, into the end of
which had been driven a nail. The sup
position is that the young man placed the
gun opposite to him and pulled the trigger
with the paling. The load penetrated
the heart and caused instant death. On
the table was found note, requesting
that Rev. Marshall Owens conduct his
funeral services, and one of similar i'm
port was found in the dead mans pocket.
A moose was found hanging in the barn,
from which it is inferred that the suicide
intended to end his life by hanging before
he decided to shoot himself The deceased
was 81 years of age and unmarried No
cause has been found for the rash act.
