What Not to Say.

Do not say, 81 can't eat" Take hoods Sar-
saparilla and say, 81 am hungry all the time,
and food never hurts me- ~
Never say to your friends that you are as
tired in the morning as at night, If fthey hap
pen to be sharp they will tell you Hoods Sar-
saparilla cures that tired feeling.
Do not say, "My face is full of pimples.'
You are quite likely to be told by some one,
There's no need no need of that, for Hoods
Sarsaparilla cures pimples."
1t is improper and unnecessary to say. "My
health is poor and my blood is bad.", Hoods
Sarsaparilla will give you good blood, and
good health will follow as natural conse-
Quence.

Is it 'overwOrk'' that has filed this country
with nervous dyspeptics?-that takes the flesh
their bones, the vitality from their blood, and
makes them feeble, emaciated and inefficient?
No. 1t is bad cooking, overeating of indiges-

The remedy is an artificially digested food
such as the Shaker Digestive Cordial. Instead
of irritating the already inflamed stomach the
Cordial gives it a chance to rest by nourishing
the system itself and digesting other food
taken with it. So flesh and strength return.
Is not the idea rational? The Cordial is pala-

Len Edwards Shoots His Partner.

ASHLAND, Ore, March 8-Lon Ed
wards this morning shot c.. Evans
at their mining camp twelve miles
west of Ashland and the latter is
thought to be lying dead in his cabin.
Edwards and Evans, who have always
borne excellent regulations, and both
of whom have highly respected fami-
lies residing in this city, are mining
men and have been partners in a
quartz claim.
They have had some business dis
agreements recently and yesterday
quarreled. This morning Edwards,
according to his own story, went to the
cabin and was denied admission.
Words ensued between them and Evans
firing shot at Edwards, the latter
says, before he, (Edwards,) drew his
revolver. He then shot twice at Evans
inside the cabin. Evans shot missed
the mark. Without ascertaining if his
partner was dead, Edwards left tor
Ashland and surrendered himself to
the officers.
MIR. Edwards and his family were
residents of Shelton several years ago
and he bore good reputation. The
shooting was the result of disagree
ment in mining interests, and will be
regetted by the friends of the family.

ner most docile.
Cronin was not told anything of the
nearncss OF his trip until after his
wound had been dressed yesterday aft
ernoon. Then the physician who at.
tended him told the prisoner his con-
dition was such that he could be NOV
ed without danger of disastrous eff
fects to the wound. Sheriff Billings
then stepped up to Cronin with the
handouts, telling the prisoner he
would have to put them on. Cron1n,
with the utmost composure and doci1-
ity, answered as he held up his hands,
Help YOURSELF" and the irons were
placed on him. His feet also were
shack1ed, and after his few effects were
gathered together he said he was ready.
Resting on the arms of a deputy on
each side, Cronin managed to slowly
walk down the stairs from his home for
the past fifteen months. Once below
a wagon was in waiting. and a cot
placed in it. On this too Cronin was
placed and driven slowly to the station.
Quite crowd had collected at the
depot to catch a glimpse of the con-

crowded close to the wagon for final
glance at him. The cot was placed in
the baggage car, and guarded by the
sheriff and his deputy Cronin was
