Atkinson Is Diplomatic.
Washington, Aug. 5. Governor At
kmson ot west Virginia bas written a
reply to the labor leaders who recently
conferred with him regarding the min
ers' strike, in which he says he hae given
tbe matter bis most earenst considers
tion, and that in tbe controversy the
rights of property as well as the rights of
citizens must be considered.
Referring to the injunction issued by
the circuit court of Marion county, be
says the Marion county court belongs to
the judicial department- of the state,
which is independent from the executive
department, and it would ' be improper
for him to express an opinion as to
whether the injunction is too sweeping
in character. He has requested the attorney-general
to assist in having an
early adjudication by the supreme court
of tbe state of this proceeding, because
it presents somewhat novel questions.
Sails Under'a New Flag.
San Francisco, Aug. 5. The Pacific
Mail Steamship Company's ship China

Pacific Mail fleet, under the Hawaiian
flag without loss of time, and it is eaid
in maritime circles that this action on
the part of the company indicates a be
lief among the officers of the company
that the annexation of the islands is
likely to be accomplished in the very
near future.

What use is therein eating when food
does you no good in fact, when it does
you more harm than good, for such is
the case if it is not digested ? '
If you have a loathing for food there
is no use of forcing it down, tor it will
not be digested. You must restore tbe
digestive organs to their natural strength
and cause the food to be digested, when
an appetite will come, and with it a re
lish for food.
ine urea, languid feeling will give
place to vigor and energy ; then you will
put flesh on your bones and become
strong. The Shaker Digestive Cordial
as made by the Mount Lebanon Shakers
contains food already digested and is a
digester of foods as well. Its action is
prompt and its effects permanent. v '..;

Remarkable Care of Chronic Diarrhoea.
In 1862, when I served my country as
a private in Company A, 167th Penn
sylvania Volunteers, I contracted
chronic diarrhoea. It has given me
great deal of trouble ever since. I have
tried a dozen different medicines and
several nrominent doctors without anv
permanent relief. Not long ago a friend
sent me a sample bottle of Chamberlain's !
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy,
and after that I bought and took a 50
cent bottle; and now I can say that I
am entirely cured. I cannot be thankful
enough to you for this great Remedy,
and recommend it to all suffering veter
ans. If in doubt write to ine. Yours
gratefully, Henry Steinberer. Allen
