However, thelr knavery touches nothing Dut our pocketbook. There 1s another widespread form of misrepresentation of a far more dangerous and villsinous character. We refer to the false statements and worthless Guarantees that frequently accompany medicines. To guaratteo a medicive to cure is to brand it as @ quack product.

The Shakers have always been known as a most upright and honorable people, and their success in the manufacture of medicines bas also been well known. It is therefore not surprising to find them pursuing a very original and novel plan for the introduction of their remedy for dyspepsia.

The Shaker Digestive Cordial {s so prompt in its action that for the trivial sum of 10 cents, a person can usually determine as to whether or not it meets the requirements of his case. There are forms of dyspepsia which it won't help, but these are very rare. In most cases the first dose re- Ueves all distress, und an increase of appetite at once follows.

Marksmanship Competition National Guard. interest Is displayed, particularly tional Guard circles, over the spring rifle matches to be shot tomorrow at the Ordway rifle range. The program pro- vides three competitions. One is @ novice iratch open to members of the brigade who have never qualified as sharpshooters. Ten shots will be flred at 200 yards and ten at 500 yerds. The prizes will be $3, $2 and $1, respectively, for the first, second and third ren. Another match will be the senatorial championship, which requires the firing of five shots each at 200, 300, 500 and Gw rds, with one skirmish run of twenty shots. The winner of this competition will hold the Seaepenship, of the District untl the matches next fall. The third match will be that open to dis- tinguished marksmen, with the Cranford medal and the Tierney medal as first and recond prizes, respectively. Five shots each will be fired at 200, 300, 500 and 600 yards, and in addition there will be either one skir- mish run of forty shots, or two runs of twenty shots each, the matter to be set- tled by a majority vote of the contestants, No person will be permitted to enter the matches unless in uniform. Trains will leave the 6th street depot at 9 a.m., 11:50 am. and 2:01 p.m. Those expecting to shoot must take che first train, although it is possible that the 11:30 am. train will reach Ordway in Ume to permit @wtries in the novice match. All firing at known dis- tances must be concluded by 2 p.m. in the RELEASED ON BAIL. Ex-Disbursing Clerk Kieckhoefer Se- cures Mr, 0. G. Staples as Bondsman. Francis J. Kieckhoefer, charged with em- Dbezzling State Department funds, was re- leased on ball in the sum of $1 day afternoon, shortly after Judge Cole had, as reported in The Star, reduced the amount fixed in the Police Court, $25,000. Mr. O. G. Staples qualified as surety, and the accused man, who had been in the cus- tody of Marshal Wilson at the city hall since early in the day, departed with his counsel and bondsman, visibly releved. District Attorney Birney stoutly opposed any reduction of ball, explaining that while th® warrant charged the defendant with embezzling but $87,000, he (Birney) was re- Mably informed that more than $100,000 had been taken—something like $127,000. Judge Cole, replying to Mr. Arthur W. Ferguson, counsel for the prisoner, stated that the extreme penalty for the alleged offense—ten years in the penitentiary— should be taken into consideration. The case appeared to be similar to the How- gate case, in which Judge Cox, the most conservative man, perhaps, on ‘the bench, reduced the bail from thirty to fifteen thousand dollars. The judge thought Judge Cox a good man to foliow, and there. Tore reduced the ball to $15,0v0. —_— CAN BE SOON RESTORED. . Convention Hall at St. Louis Not Greatly Damaged.

Open Letter From the Fa- mous Divine and Author. Telling of the Absolute Merit Possessed by a Remedy for Ner- vous Debility. THE MOST NOTEWORTHY TESTIMONIAL EVER GIVEN—IT HAS HELPED THOUSANDS OF SICK PEOPLE. The best test of a remedy is the cures that it effects. The next best is the testimony of people of the bighest character as to the merits of the medicine. Dr. Charcot's Kola Nervine Tablets have cured thousands, and there is not a more famous man alive in America than Edward Everett Hale, D.D., LLD., the best-known preacher, editor, author and philanthropist in New England. Writ- ing from Boston, Dec. 23, 1895, Dr. Hale says: “I bave been much interested In the Kola nut as @ tonic, In Africa, where the Koia or Guru nuts grow, the natives eat the fresh nuts to preveut hunger, thirst aud exhaustion. For some years the medical profession bas given Kola much atten- tion becarse of its medicinal qualities, but hereto- fore the difficulty bas been in getting the fresh nut in an availatle preparation so as to retain the medicinal properties. ‘This difficulty is now over- come by that remarkable establishment, the Burcka Chemical and Mfg. Co. of La Crosse, Wis., which has put upon the market a very efficient and high- ly approved preparation. Iam assured by a careful inquiry among leading physicians and personal friends, who have used it, and in whom I have the utmost confidence, that Dr. Charcot’s Kol: Tablets are invaluable in insomnia and all nervous diseases.
