Los Anoei.ks. Mar. 11. General
William Stalk Rosecrans died at 7
o'clock this morning at Ills home
near Redondo. His death was not
unexpected, it having been realized
several days ago that his illness
could not have other than a fatal
termination.
General Rosecrans' deatli was peaceful
in the extreme. For several days he
haB been between life and death, at
times unconscious and again in a coma
tose state. His splendid vitality kept
hi in alive for days. At the bedside when
the end came were the son and daugh
ter of the general, Carl and Anna Rose
crans, and a number of immediate
friends of the family, besides the attend
ing physician, Dr. Ha) lies, from this
city.
Rosecrans was stricken with no par
ticular disease, and the end came trough
a gradual weakening of the system.
When he was first stricken, more than
twoweeksago.it was not supposed to
be more than a light attack of la grippe.
A daughter of Rosecrans, Mrs. Toole,
is now at Helena, Mont., where her hua
bamrresidesT Rosecrans was possessed of a fine
property and his last days were spent in
peace and plenty.
Arrangements for the funeral have not
yet been announced.
The Shakers of Mount Lebanon, a
community of simple, honest, God-fearing
men and women, have prepared the
Shaker Digestive Cordial for many years,
and it is always the same, simple, hon
est, curative medicine that has helped
to make the Shakers the healthy, long
lived people that they are. The Shak
ers never have indigestion. This is
partly owing to their simple mode of
life, partly to the wonderful properties
of Shaker Digestive Cordial. Indiges
tion is caused by the stomach glands not
supplying enougli digestive juice.
Shaker Digestive Cordial supplies what's
wanting. Shaker Digestive Cordial in
vigorates the stomach and all its glands
so that after awhile they don't need
help. As evidence of the honesty of
Shaker Digestive Cordial, the formula
is printed on every bottle. Sold by

tiMiiiil I'mrreilliiK'.
There is : man in Wentzvillc. .Mo.,
who has :i habit of eiitiiifr his middiiy
menl before 1L' o'clock, snys the Sun
day Republic. A neighbor went to his
house not loiitf ngo, and found him and
his family at t he dinner table. It was
then half-past 11.
"Why. .Mr. Majors are you at lin
nerV" ejaculated the surprised neigh
bor. "Oh. yes," replied Mr. Majors. "We
nearly n!ways eat dinner about this
time of day."
"It seem to me that this is pretf.y
early," said the visitor, smiling. "Why,
you must get through by 12 o'clock."
"Yes, I suppose we do," was the re
ply. "You see we always have our din
ner early as a precautionary measure."
"As a prcer.iitinn.iry nieasurel" ex
claimed the neighbor. "Why? Do you
want to Keep fiom getting hungry?"
"So, that's not it," said Majors.
"Don't you see, if we don't eat our din
ner early the house might burn down
and then we wouldn't have any? It's
a precautionary measure, u precau
tionary measure!"
HIS ATTENTIVE AUDIENCE.
Tito Virwn of he Lecture Delivered
by n XorcllMt In n Jorpy Town,
cwel!-Unoww-novpiRt deliveml a-lce-turc
recently in a Xew Jersey town not
far from this city, in which he read
selections from his own works. His
reputation and the society that engaged
him brought together an audience com
posed of the best people of the neigh
brrhodd. After t he lecture, when peo
ple met. it wiik the proper .lung for one
to ask the other:
"Were you at the lecture?" and the
answer in every case was:
"Oh, yes! 1 was there, but I didn't
hear a word. Did you hear the lec
ture?" "Well, no! I was there but I couldn't
hear, either."
A friend who met the novelist a few
days after his visit to the suburban
town asked him what kind of audience
he had and how lie liked the town.
"It's a fine place," was the reply,
"and I had the most attentive audience
that I have ever spoken to. Xo one
made n sound, and 1 didn't have to raise
my voice above a whisper."
Historic- Cnnea.
Walking sticks have frequently been
left by will. Franklin bequeathed his
favorite stick, with a gold handle
shaped like a cap of liberty, to George
Washington. The gold-headed cane
used by Drs. RcdclitTt! and Mead and
others, whose arms are engraved upon
it, was bequeathed by Baillie to the col
lege of physicians. Xapoleon's walk
ing stick of tortoisesliell was sold in
London in la-'.t for JESS.
