Is said to be the belief of the- secretary

Few people know that all plants
contain digestive principles. They
cannot absorb their food until It is di
gested any more than animals can.
The Mount Lebanon Shakers have
learned the art of extracting and
utilizing thebe digestive principles,
and it Is for this reason that their
Shaker Digestive Cordial Is meeting"
with such phenomenal success in the
treatment of dyspepsia. The Shaker
Digestive Cordial not only contains
food already digested, but It also con
tains digestive principles which aid
the digestion of other foods that may
be eaten with It. A single 10 cent
sample bottle will be sufficient to
demonstrate its value, and we suggest
that cycry suffering dyspeptic ruako a
trial of it. Any ' druggist can supply
it.
Laxol is tho best medicine for chil
dren. Doctors recommend It In place
of Castor Oil.

On the Missouri.
Omaha, Neb., April 3.A Bee
special from Woon socket, South Da

eight miles from running water, is In
undated by the overflow of the Big
Sandy. Thff water is dammed up In
the river by the Ice gorges and Is flow
ing over the prairie doing much dam
age to farm property. Many houses In
town, supposed to be on hljrb ground
have been abandoned. At Pierce the
Missouri river Is falling but a gorge
is reported above the town.
Yankton reports another two-foot rise
in the James. Great Northern tracks
from Yankton to Sioux Falls are un
der water two feet deep. Vermillion
reported tho Vermillion Missouri as
rising rapidly.
At Austin.
Memphis, April 3. The flood situa
tion has once more become acute from
a point a few miles above Austin,
Mids., aB far down as tho first break at
Perthshire, Miss. Another crevasse
in this line of levees would not be sur
prising. A crevasse at Austin would
inundate a strip of fertile country In
Tulca and Cohaum counties, twenty
mtles wide and sixty miles long.
Beports from Helena shows that
the river there is still slowly rising,
and It is almost miraculous that the
levees at Helena have not broken.
Thousands of people have been work
ing day and night, and their energies
are seemingly exhaustless. The Mis
souri Pacific and Cotton Belt roads
hare rushed tralnload after tralnload
of sacks of sand into the beleaguered
city, and still stand ready to help the
Helena people.
Greenville Is on an island, and Bose
dale, Miss., is in water from five to
ten feet deep. The funds of the bank
in Bosedale have been moved to the
second story.
Thousands of head of cattle are

CUBA,
Letter from General Gomez,
Says Cruelties Can Never Be For
gotten by Cubans,
Havana, April 3. The Dlarlo do la
Marina says editorially that the pullc
of President McKlnley and his cabi
net Is altogether hostile to the plans
of the Insurgents. It prints also a
letter from General Gomez to Senor
Morrct, correspondent of El Liberal,
of Madrid, which reads as follows!
"Upon your leaving n,y presence, I
owe an explanation especially as you
write for the newspaper which calls
upon Spain to drown In blood our
lust aspirations. I cannot bo sangu
inary, and I do feel sorry that under
the special circumstances you were
-90fc?-nontcBced' to death while in
my campi It is but uatural that no
shoufd feel that there must bo much
sheddlng'of Spanish blood to heal tho
pain'cansed by the blood shed at
Pnnta Brava. The machete blow
that killed Francisco Gomez will
never be forgotten In Cuba. The
machete strokes dealt when heroes
fell atPunta Brava cannot bo -forgotten
by one who has pardoned thou
sands of Spanish prisoners and cured
hundreds of Spanish wounds. Mean
while go your way to Spain, pleased
that you havo been a witness to the
ruin of poor Cuba and havo plunged
vour feet In tho blood of innocent
Cubans.
"Do not forget that we will continue
fighting for liberty. Do not forget
that justice will descend from above
and will end tho struggle now sus
tained by Spain, to her dishonor and
disaster. M. Gomez."
A Madrid Rumor
Madrid, April 3 A Bumor was
circulated In tho chamber of deputies
today that General Gomez, comman-dcr-ln-chlef
of the Cuban army, Is
suing for peace.
Will Be Tried.
New YoRic.Aprll 3. A Madrid dis
patch says:
General Blvera and Colonel Bacca
loa will be taken to navana for trial
ljl$fore an ordinary court-martial.
The government so directs. It Is not
likely that the death penalty will be
imposed upon either.

Athens, Api II 3. Tho newspapers
unanimously urge the government to

If Indeed a tinal decision has been

Reason for the Blockade.

ade of Greece, which the Bnsslan

lu Cretan waters had reported having

sos, the commander of tho Greek army
of occupation, which, ho said, was
"full of misrepresentations."
Replying to a question relative to
tho employment of artillery In Crete,
Mr. Corzon said he was not awaro
that any of the governments had
reached a decision in this matter, ex
cept Russia, which was sending a
mounted battery to the island.
The first lord of tho treasury, A. J.
Balfour, replyldg to a question, said
that, so far as tho government knew,
Germany was not sending troops to
Crote.

Greece.
Wants to Fight.
Constantinople, April 3. -The
lighting between tho Christians and
tho Mussulmans, which Is dally re
ported from Crete, Is creating a very
bad impression here, and It Is believed
that tho Turkish government will
soon propose to tho powers that Tur
key herself bo permitted to tako ac
tion against the insurgents.
Attack a Blockhouse.
Athens, April 3. Tho Insurgents
fired several rouudsut the Bulsun-
narla block house, occupied by tho

"President Moody and others on
