We all know that any tired muscle can be
restored by rest Your stomach is a muscle.
Dyspepsia is its manner of saying Il am tired.
Give me rest" To rest the stomach you must
do its work outside of the body.
This is the Shakers method of curing in d.
gestion, and its success is best attested by the
fact that these people are practically free
from what is without doubt the most pre-
valent of all diseases. The Shaker Digestive
Cordial not only contains digested food which
IS promptly absorbed without taxing the tired
digestive organs, but it is likewise an aid to
the digestion of other foods in the stomach.
10 cent trial bottle will convince you of its
merit, and these you can obtain through all
druggists.

BRAVE AMERICAN
TROOPS
Are Pitted Against Too Great
Odds. Sudden Call For
ReinfOrcements.
1t Comes From the Scene of Strife to
President Mckinley.

New York, June PA special dis
patch from Adams, Mass, to the New
York World says:
A long cipher message from General
Otis, sent to Washington and thence
relaid to Adams without the usual
official editing, has caused President
Mckinley many uneasy moments in the
last forty-eight hours.
All that Otis told the President is not
known positively, but the World cor
respondent is enabled to make this
statement: Otis plainly intimated his
inability to conquer the Filipinos with
the present fighting strength at his
command. furthermore, it is said, he
gave the impression he would be forced
to abandon the ground already taken
unless reinforcements were quickly
sent.
From the very beginning of the Phil
ippine war Otis has been an optimist.
He has made official Washington
believe he could crush the rebellion
with his present strength, and instead
of reporting the true situation he has
made his daily dispatches conform to
the picture as he saw it through his
colored glasses.
Now, however, that General Otis is
no longer able to successfully distort
the facts the true state of affairs is
coming to light, and he is forced to tell
things which he might like to hide.
1t is possible that General Otis soon
may be relieved of his command.
Governor Roosevelt's message from
Kansas City, earnestly requesting that
New York be allowed her full quota il
a call for troops is issued, reached the
President this morning. A reply
thanking the Governor for his generous
offer was telegraphed to Las Vegas,
In. NJ, this afternoon. In his message
the President said nothing about the
immediate necessity for more troops ir
the Philippines. He carefully refrainei
from referring to the gravity of the sit
uation at Manila as indicated by Gen
eral Otis message.
/ Whether President Mckinley will
ask for more troops Immediately upol
his return to Washington next week O.
wait until August or September has no
been fully determined.
General Otis message, however, i
causing the President the greatest con
Germ and the departure of troops TO
the Philippines may be fastened.

pine war is held in allegiance pendin

Every good citizen wants to see the law up
held and its violators, if there be such, brought
to Justice, and no good citizen wants to see
any person suffer from false accusation or un-
justly fair trial for the accused is all that
any good citizen desires and that is what every

sire and demand. No one fears a fair tria

ing that it was the donkey Struthion had hired, not the donkey's shadow. But the shadow is part of the donkey" insisted the dentist. If it's part of him." said the driver what becomes of 1t in the dark?' So they fell to disputing, agreeing finally to bet on it and leave the decision to the judges.
 Back to Abdera went the two-three with the donkey-and the question was duly sub mitted for adjudication The town took up the matter with profound interest, and bets were made in profusion. When the affair came up for trial, the arguments lasted for days, during all of which bet ting went on so freely that the judges be- came aware of the fact that whichever way their decision went at least half of the population would be ruined. In their per- plexity a riot broke out in the course of which the innocent donkey, cause of all the uproar, was torn to pieces by the con- testants. Eagerly seizing upon this a pretext, the judges decided that. both shadow and donkey having disappeared from the face of the earth, all bets were off. Incidentally 1t settles that important question, "Whoever saw dead donkey?" but 1t is otherwise instructive.

particular, still sustain them as part of the income of the government. The au- thor is not aware that the Louisiana lot tery in this country has been closed up for good; but he shows that in our colon- ial days the lottery was resorted to with considerable frequency.

When he got to the railway station he found that there was no first class nor second class seat to be had This he regarded as a sign that he was to re- main and play his luck out He went back to the table. In few hours he had lost everything and had to telegraph for money to come home on.
