about people he knew in that CITY
who had been cured by using Doan $
Kidney Pills and afterwards endorsed
them in Pittsburg papers, he little
thought that he himself and scores OF
his fellow citizens would endorse the

people have no necessity to go to

looking to the economical use of fuel
and an abatement Of the smoke nui-

Sick poison is poison which makes
you sick. 1t comes from the stom-
ach. The stomach makes it out OF
undigested food.
The blood gets it and taints the
whole body with it. That s the way
of it.
The way to be rid of it is to look
after your digestion.
If your food is all properly digested,
there will be none left in the stomach
to make sick poison out of.
If your stomach is too weak to see
to this properly by itself, help it along
with few doses of Shaker Digestive
Cordial.
That's the cure of it.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is de-

SEEKING HIGH HONORS.
A Shenandoah Man Wants to Go to the
National Democratic Convention.

Ed. HERALD 1t is well known in Demo
cratic circles that the handful of Bryan
shouters, who think of nothing else but the
dogmas enunciated by the Nebraskan, are
just now quietly at work to secure the cleo
ton of committeeman on Saturday who are
friendly to themselves and their favorite
battle-cry. Here in POttsville they are at
a disadvantage, but reports from the
townships and other towns through
out the county indicate a different
state of affairs. Shenandoah and Tama-
qua seems to be the headquarters of this
silver junta with a greenback appendix.
From the former place letters to prominent
Democratic workers throughout the county
have been dispatched, warning them to be on
their guard and to see to it that none but
true and faithful sixteen-tO-oners are placed
upon the tickets as committeeman at the
primaries. Several of these eplstles have
reached Pottsville, and your correspondent
had the extreme pleasure of noting the
signature attached thereto. That in itself
was enough to cast suspicion upon the whole
affair.
Further inquiry elected the information
that the scheme is hatched not so much in
the interest of Bryan, as it is to elect GER
tain person in your town as National Dele
gate That individual is no less a parsonage
than Michael E. Doyle, and the letters are
sent out by his side-partner. If you will
take the trouble to inquire you will find that
Doyle is a candidate for committeeman, and
he no doubt hopes to be elected to, place him
self in line to be eligible as one of the
National Representatives from this county.
! He is keeping the matter of his candidacy
that of national epresentative-very quiet
In fact, some of his most intimate friends are
not aware Of Michaels ambition The fact
that it has become public property through
this communication will no doubt be sur
prise to both Mike and his friends. But it i.
a fact, nevertheless, and future developments
will demonstrate what is herein contained
unless he is defeated as a committeeman on
Saturday. Then Michael viii stay at home
