A tired stomach is very much like a
sprained airkleT" If you suffer from
any of the symptoms of dyspepsia,
your stomach- is tired. It " needs . a
crutch. We must relieve it of all work
for a time, or until it is restored to its
natural strength. To do this success
fully, we must use a food which is al
ready digested outside of the body,
and which will aid the digestion of
other foods that may be taken with it.
Such a product is the Shaker Digestive
Cordial.
The Shakers bave utilized the diges
tive principles present in plants for
the manufacture of this article, and its
success has been truly, phenomenal, 1

hold up their hands. The agent asked
them what for. They replied 'because
we want you to.' They ordered him
to open the safe, saying they wanted
his money, and only had a minute to
wait. Mrs. Hart, the agent's wife,

left the depot about 10 minutes before,
and was at the coach getting ready for
the night's run." .

months. Mr. Lane was born at New
Brunswick, Canada, January 2, 1857,
and came to Eastern Oregon-in -1878,

gaged in stockraising, and where, by

! PHOTOGRAPH GAIXEBY WRECKED.
Mr. and Mrs. Hogan Narrowly Escape
Being Hurried Alive.
Ever since the fire of 1891, the walls
of the old Fitzgerald building have
stood yawning as a reminder of that
terrible day which was the most dis
astrous in the history of The Dalles.
and Wednesday they came near ad
ding another sad event to the annals
of the city. For some time past the
walls have been considered unsafe, and
had Deen partially braced to keep them
in an upright position, but the bracing
was not sufficient to withstand the
force of the severe wind which pre
vailed Wednesday morning, and at 2:30
A. M. about forty feet of the east wall
next to Second street gave way. Fif
teen feet from the wall was a small
box building, the front room of which
was occupied by Mrs. J. J. Hogan's
photograph gallery, and the rooms to
the rear were used by Mr. and Mrs,
Hogan for living apartments. This
building is a total wreck, the falling
wall having struck it with full force,
crushing the front part to the ground,
hurrying all of Mrs. Hogan's photo
graphing outfit with a foot or mr re of
brick, but fortunately the portion occu
pied by Mr. and Mrs. Hogan as sleep
ing apartments withstood the force of
the falling debris, and although badly
damaged, did not fall.
At the time of the accident Mr. and
Mrs. Hogan were sleeping soundly in
a folding bed, and the first intimation
they had of danger was when the crash
came. Mrs. Hogan was thrown out of
bed with such violence as to render
her semi-unconscious for a time, but
Mr. Hogan was caught in the folds of
the bed, which collapsed with the
crash, and it was with some difficulty
that he was extricated by the assist
ance of his wile after she regained
consciousness.
Everything in the photograph gal
lery was completely demolished, and
Mrs. Hogan's loss will be several
hundred dollars, but most of their
household furniture escaped without
damage. While the accident is a most
unfortunate one in the sense of the de
struction of property, yet Mr. and
Mrs. Hogan are indeed fortunate to
have escaped without serious bodily
injury, for had ten feet more of the
brick wall gone down, they would have
been buried under the debris, and
most likely killed.
The Fitzgerald ruins are owned by
J H. Shearer, and the building oc
cupied by the gallery was the property
of O. Kinersley. It being a total
wreck, Mr. Kinersley estimates his
loss to be $250.
THE REPUBLICAN CLUD9,
A Routing Meeting Held tn Portland
Yesterday.
The state republican clubs conven-
tisn, which met in Portland yesterday,
was attended by representatives from
every county in the state, and the en
thusiasm of tbe delegates had no limit.
They vied with each other in an at
tempt to exhibit their power to make
a noise, as if It were indicative of
their ability to vote, and after a day of
universal hilarity and clamor the con
vention adjourned at 9 o'clock in the
evening. The officers, committees and
delegates elected by the convention
are as follows:
President Charles H. Carey, of
Multnomah county. v
Vice-President Claud Gatch, of
Marion county.. . i . ,

Losses and Gains in Representation by tne
Several Counties.
It is figured that by the population
given for the whole state, 362,762,
there will be required 12,092 popula
tion for one senator and 6047 for one
representative. On this basis it is
claimed that Crook and Gilliam coun
ties, which now have one representa
tive each, migtyt be thrown together
for one; Grant would lose her represen
tative but would retain her joint rep
resentative with Harney; Jackson,
which has three, would probably lose
one; Morrow, which has one, would be
made a part of a joint district; Umatilla
would lose one of her three; Wallowa
would become part of a' joint district;
Polk, which has two, would probably
be given one and a joint interest in
another; Washington would have one
of her three made a part of a joint dis
trict; Clatsop would almost bold her
two; Clackamas would gain half inter
est in an additional one; and Douglas
would likely lose one and prehaps as
sist Coos and Curry in electing two,
for which they have not enough people
between them; Linn would hold three
and Marion her five by a close shave,
while Multnomah would gain six on
the face of tne returns. In senatorial
districts would occur the greatest rev
olution. Several counties now elect
ing a senator for each would be com
pelled to join forces and a very few
would hold their own.
Chatao.ua Circle Meeting.
The hospitable home of Mrs. W. H.
Biggs, on Third Street, was open to

Wakefield by Mrs. Crandall, a paper
by Mrs. Myers on Japan, the geogra
phy of the country and tbe ' customs
and habits of the people, an instrumen
tal and vocal rendition by Mrs. Eshel
man, and Mrs. Smith French leading
the conversation on the topic, Clara
Barton and her works, which was dis
cussed by the members of the circle.
Following this the members sang the
closing ode, "Home Swee Home,"
wished their hospitable hostess a pleas
ant good night, and wended their way
homeward, all voicing the sentiment
that this was one of the most profitable
and interesting meetings ever, held by
the circle.

A NEW LIGHT.
With It a BnUet Can be Plainly Seen 1m
bedded In a Man's Ankle,
It seems possible, if not highly prop
able, that not only the dissection of
dead bodies, but vivisection, will soon
be abandoned as unnecessary aids to
scientific research. If the medical
student can be furnished with photo
graphs showing, separately or col
lectively, each and all of the organs of
the human or brute body as they ap
pear in life or deaths and under all
conditions, there will be no necessity
for dissection either ante mortem or
post mortem. With the removal of
necessity, the business will end, for it
is not so extremely enjoyable, with all
its attendant troubles, that it will be
followed for amusement. Prof. Roent
gen, of the- Bavarian University of
Wurzburg, is credited with the dis
covery of a new light by the means of
which the bones of the human body,
and, presumably, any other part, can
be photographed through the flesh.
It appears that this scientist has been
experimenting with a light derived
from radient heat by means of Crook's
tubes. The Crook tube is a vacum
glass through which an electric induc
tion current passes, whose rays, the
products of intense heat, are thrown
upon the object which it is desired to
photograph.
An account of Prof Roentgen's ex
periments describes results obtained
by the professor that are, even in this
age of wonder, decldely astonishing:
"He photo Aplted a man's ankle in
whish a bulleMiras nnbedded, showing
the buffet jusy where it was lodged
"He photographed a leather purse,
showinghe money in it with perfect
distinction. A human band was sub
jected to the rays, and the result was a
picture of its bones, with the envelope
of flesh only a shadowy form around
them. The most startling experiment
was the photograph of a young man
beside a young woman, which showed
nothing but a skeleton form. It is al
so said that an iron weight was photo
graphed through a box, the box disap
pearing in the picture." x
Anlmportmt Visit.
Mr. Ahio Watt, of the O. R. & N.
Co., made a visit to this section a few
days since that is of considerable im
portance to the entire upper country.
His mission here was to settle certain
right-of-way questions, and to con
aider the advisability of changing the
roadbed between The Dalles and Cel-
lilo, so as to give room for the proposed
boat-railway. We understand Mr
Watt stated that it was the intention
of the company to move the roadbed
in many places so as to make room for
the boat-railway, and that there would
be no clash between the government
and the O. R. & N. with regard to the
right-of-way.
If we are correctly informed, there
will be no hinderances in the way of
the government in its efforts to remove
the obstructions to navigation in the
upper river, and should Senator Mit
chell's bill become a law, there is noth
ing to hinder to commencement of
work at an early data. Since the O.
R. & NTCo. holds title to a consider-
able of the right of way over which
the boat-railway must be built, their
willingness to transfer title to the gov
ernment is of great importance, and
will be of assistrance in securing an
appropriation from con gross. -

P. E. D.
The Oregonian of the 4th on its local ,
page notes the formation of a branch
of the New International Literary
Society known as the Philistines. The
comment thereon is misleading, a,nd
indeed the statement that Sampson
killed lO.OOQ of these same Philistines
with the jawbone of a. jackass,"- is not
bourn out by the pages of sacred his
tory. It is fair to "presume from. the
dead! mess of the the weapon tha.t
that particular jawbone when in use
by its original owner was wagged by a
'.'jinny,"-

The republican state central com
mittee which met in ' Portitid-yester
day, decided upon April 9th as the date
of holding the state convention of that
party and selected Portland as thi
place of meetinging. That being the
time and place designated for holding

Portland will have two important con
ventions on the same day. The re
publican convention for the first con
gressional district will be held at
Albany on April 7 and for the second
district . at Portland on the 8th.
The call issued by the state committee
for the convention is as follows: '
"A republican convention for the
state of Oregon is called to meet in the
city of Portland, on Thursday, April
9, 1896, at 11 o'clock A. M., for the pur
pose of nominating candidates for
presidential electors and state and dig-'
trict offices, except congressmen, and
of electing four delegates at-large to
the republican national convention.
and to transact such oher business as

state on June 4, 1894.
"The committee recommends that
the primaries be held on Saturday,
March 21, and the county conventions
on Saturday, March 23, 1896, unless
otherwise ordered by the proper county

INDIAN WAR VETEBANS.
Information Wanted for the Benefit of
United States Senators, '
Mr. T. A. Wood, grand commander
of the Indian war veterans of the North
Pacific coast, asks that the following.
letter be given circulation by the news
papers of Oregon, Washington and
Idaho generally. Mr. Wood's address
is Portland. He says :
I have received several inquiries
in the last few days from a number of
United States senators, including the
chairman of the special pensions com
mittee, as to tbe probable number of
Indian war veterans, including the
widows of veterans, who would be ben
efited by the passage of a pension bill
covering all the period from 1846 to
1857, and what the probable cost would
be to the government, together with
other information that would be of
value to the committee and senate. .
This is an urgent call and must be
answered. That I may be able to do
this in a way that will be acceptable
and carry weight, I ask every Indian
war veteran to send me his or her age,
name and address, and the name of
the captain of the company served in.
This is not asking too much. We
must have this information.' Camp
commanders, surviving officers, of
companies or regiments, and county
newspapers can assist this worthy
cause, send in all tne information
you have in your possession. Tbe
original number of these veterans was
in tbe neighborhood of 5000. The
great majority have passed away. How
many survive is what we are anxious
to find out. We will be able to get a
pension bill through congress if vet
erans will write me at once. , Please
do so. This is money in your pockets,
and it will aid in benefiting all your
comrades."
Railroading In Webfoot.
Mr. W. C. Allaway, agent for tbe
D. P. & A. N. Co. at this place, re
turned this morning from a visit to
Portland, Salem, Independence and
Monmouth, and reports having: had a
varied experience railroading In Web-
foot. He took passage on a west side
train from Portland, and says it took
the train three hours to make a run of
twenty-six miles. At the various way
stations wagons would back up to the
cars and take oS or put on freight, and
while this loading and unloading was
going on, the passengers bad nothing
to occupy their minds except to admire
the scenery presented by Webfoot
farms, the Coast Range mountains and
the proverbial Willamette valley mud.
Railroading down there is evidently a
much slower means of locomotion
than Is gteamboating on the Colupibia
by the Regulator line. .

A Holdup a,t Beppner.
Burglaries and dare-devil robberies
are becoming of rather frequent occur
ance in Eastern Oregon. Antelope,
Moro and Pendleton have eaoh had
their turn with bold) bad robbers, and
now Heppner. enters the field for
notoriety In thlsline. Word has been

New Raft for Troops.'
Experiments in crossing rivers have
recently been. made by. the Austrian
cavalry with water-tighti .haversacks
filled with straw. - Four of -these, were
formed Into a sort of raft, held together
by three sabers; on these five .men got
astride, the foremost steering with a
pole, and the horses were .led swim-
ming. It took eight minutes to pre
pare, eight more to cross a river 650
feet wide and 12 feetdeep.anc' two min
utes saddle on the opposite bank; so
tbe five men were ready for action on
the other side in 18 minutes after the
order was given to cross. Boats were
also made with the haversacks, stif
fened with iron bars or cavalry sabers,
in which 12'or 14 armed men were fer
ried over.
Simple bnt Effective Menn.
In arranging a meun it will be well
to take for a motto the remark of
Socrates when looking on at an auction :
"How many things there are which I
do not need." A good soup, one dain
ty relish, such as celery, radishes,
caviare sandwiches, or olives; a fish
or meat, on or two vegetables and a
dessert is a bill of fare within the com
pass or any good manager, and one
which would satisfy any Benedict.
Card of Thanks.
The kindness extended to me by the
citizens of The Dalles and the assis
tance rendered by them at the funeral
of my late husband, Clarence V. Lane,
calls for an expression of heartfelt
gr'atetude from me, and I take this
meas of expressing my appreciation
of the many kind favors rendered dur
ing my hour of affliction.
