Undigested food sours, or ferments, in the stomach and becomes a poison to the whole beds.

You may be one of this mlscr- able multitude. The writer of these Hnes was one of your number 4 short time ago. I tried dozens of things to get cured; Just as you have done, no doubt. The thing which at last succeeded with me may succeed with you. It is a discovery of those wise and good people—the Shakers of Mt. Lebanon, N. ¥.—called the Shaker Digestive Cor- dial. It is not a purgative, which at best gives only transient relief. It is in itself a digested food and also a corrector of the digestive function. You can eat and digest your food while taking thie cordial. It helps you at once and soon makes the stomach vigorous: odd healthy. It is not Mke any other so-called dyspepsia cures, It is prepared by the Shakers principally from herbs cultivated by them. They do not ask us to spend a dollar for a bottle while we are in the dark as to its virtues. ‘They take that risk themselves. Almost any drug- gist will sell you a trial bottle for ten cents, s0 that you can see whether it is what they say—and adapted to your case.

Stone, THE DISTRICT OFFICES! Considerations That May Uonfront the In- coming President. The near approach of the republican administration increases the interest in local circles over the probable distri- bution of federal offices in the District of Celumbia. Citizens whose ambitions lie in such a direction are marshalling their | forces with a view to making as good a showing with President McKinley as pos- sible. The only office which will be consid- ered by the incoming executive, however, at the present time will be that of District Commissioner. The term of District Com missioner Truesdell will expire next Friday, and as he is the republican member of the board there is much interest manifested in the appointment of his successor. The names of Mr. M. A. Ballinger of Columbia Heights, a well-known real estate dealer, and of Dr. A. P. Fardon are being mention- ed by their friends in connection with the nomination. It is claimed for each th he has strong political backing. Chapin Brown is also very favors spoken of for the place. His appointment is urged by many influential citizens.

Honored by the Members of the Ohio Congresssional Delegation. Senator John Sherman was entertained at dinner at the Hotel Cochran last night. The dinner was given to Mr. Sherman by the nineteen republican members now in the Ohio delegation in the House and the four republican members-elect, Messrs. Shattuc, Brown, Weaver and Librand. The purpose was to do honor to the retiring senatcr and the incoming premier of the cabinet. Mr. Sherman was the subject of congratulations and compliment during the évening. Gen. Charles H. Grosvenor sat at the head of the table, the dean of the congressional delegation, and immediateiy to his right was the guest of honor. Next to him was M. A. Hanna, who will suc- ceed Mr. Sherman in the Senate on the Sth day of March. At Gen. Grosvenor's left was Gov. Bushnell. Gen. Grosvenor proposed a toast to “Health and long life of Senator Sherman, soon to ,be Secretary of State. In the course of his response to this toast Senator Sherman spoke thus of the country’s attitude toward its citizens abroad: “The honor of this country must never be lowered an inch. “It should be the purpose of the govern- ment to protect its own citizens wherever they ‘may be found.” This government should have no enmity ‘toward any other nation, Senator Sherman said, but it must preserve its bwn integ- rity and protect its flag and its citizens from insult and injury. He predicted that the time is not far distant when a repub- lean form of government would prevail throughout the western continent, and said there were those within the sound of his voice who would see the whole of Eu- the House of Representatives to the amendments the Distric’ ropriation bill for imp vicinit President Somerville repor Senate had granted the mu f the village s rted that the Sen for the immediate equipment steam fire engine in place of the ¢ engine now stationed in No. 11 house, on lath street near Kenesaw avenue Mr. Chapin Brown, in referring to President's approval of the act authoriz~ ing the extension of the Metropolitan rai road along « road to Isth “ Stated that he hai n credit nt Harries has alrez proposed he had al completed ix in } mical would ninety although the act allowed six months. aid: Mr. ot ub nt manag the people of Mt y believing the Brown, is an pre ti €d out to Upon thi a resolutio: ate to the viding for improveme and vicinity, particu the sum of $10,000 for ing Lowell for which a tions have been made from time To withhold the appropri Mr. Browh, would be a a great injustice.
