HAD A WILD RUN.
A Frightened Horse Creates Excite
ment and Trouble.

ment and Trouble.
horse belonging to Pratt's Express COM
pany ran away about 4:30 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, and before it had come to the
end of its short but speedy journey it had
been the cause of four other runaway
horses and several people had hairbreadth
escapes from serious injury.
The horse which caused the trouble was
standing in the rear Of the American Express
company's Office, on Hennepin avenue. The
driver was loading the sled, and when
quantity of snow and ice fell from the roof
the horse took fright and dashed out of the
alley and down Third street The beast took
the right side of the street and ran down the
thoroughfare at a terrific rate. r. F. Jones
was driving on Third street, near First ave
nue. SOUTH and noticed the runaway just in
time to prevent crossing the street IN front OF
it. Another man was driving down Third
street in front of the frightened beast, and
had barely time to turn on First avenue to
prevent a collision.
First avenue without doing damage, the
runaway collded with a cutter in which was
George R. Chapman, of 1929 Bryant avenue
north. This was in front of the Guaranty
Loan building Mr.. Chapman was thrown out
and struck a pole, but fortunately escaped
injury However, his cutter was badly
wrecked, and his horse was al cut about
the legs and the harness was broken.
The horse continued down Third street, and
another collision occurred in front of the
office of the MILFORD Manufacturing company.
Here Arthur WIlfOrd haQ MS SneIlanu pony
tied. Passing this was horse and cutter be-
longing to W. ]. Miller. In this were Harry
Miller and Carl Johnson, who was drlvlng.
The bows tried to turn aside but did not
have time, and the express horse dashed be-
tween the two rigs. Both Miller and Johnson
were thrown out but received only a pad
shaking up Miler's cutter was demolished,
and the horse broke away and ran down
Third street, afterwards being captured near
the postoffice The cutter to which was
hitched the Shetland pony was also smashed,
but the horse was not hurt. At this place the
rear hobs of the express sled were left behind
and the runaway continued with the shafts
and front hobs dangling at his heels.
After crossing Third avenue the scared
beast took the sidewalk on the west side.
In the middle of the block another horse
attached to a fine cutter was tied rms ami
nal took fright and started for South Mime
apolis, where it was brought to a standstili.

An Effort to Enact Them in Civil
Law.

Topeka, Kas., March "a bill has
been introduced in the house by Rep
resentative Walters, Of Labette county.
entitled IAN act to give statutory force
to the ten commandments" The text
of the bill is as follows:
Whereas The men of the present genera
ton have become doubters and scoffers, and
Whereas, They have strayed from the re-
Iigion of their fathers, and
Whereas. They no longer live In the fear
Of God and
Whereas Having no fear OF punishment
beyond the grave, they wantonly violate the
law given the world from Mount Sinai; there
fore, be 1t
Enacted by the legislature of the state of
Kansas Here follow the ten command
ments, each commandment being made sec
ton.

DANGEROUS USE OF
STRONG PURGADVES.

Pills and purgatives which act
quickly upon the bowels, irritate
and destroy the mucous Innings
of the stomach and bowels. A
continued use of such remedies
inhames the stomach and bowels.
The use of the genuine imported
Carlsbad Sprudel Salt is highly
recommended because its action
is due solely to its solvent and
stimulating properties, without
irritating the stomach. Best re-
suits are obtained when out door
exercise can be bad. Obtain the
genuine imported article only.

The protest that has been made against

from the programme of the most objection
able features Of the dialogue, may result
in the establishment in Minneapolis OF a
theater censorship to be under the control
an operation of the city government Inc
establishment of such department OF the
municipal government has been found neces-
sary in New York, and there seems room
for the establishment Of similar institution
B lou theater has had the effect of opening
the ewes of the authorities to the corruptlng
influences of plays which bear similar
stamp, and hereafter it would not be sur
prising if every piece which has the least
tincture of immortality, put on at any city
play house, will be subjected to the same
official scrutiny. The proposed censorship
department VIII be represented chiefly by
single person. a dramatic critic, so to speak,
who will be officially known as the play
censor" It will be his business TO attend
questionable performances and pass Judg-
ment upon the same, either recommending
that they be stopped or that the most Cd
ject.onable features be eliminated. In TINS
way it is thought that the moral tone OF the
drama now sadly degenerate, will be no
ticeably elevated.
The play censor has been an established
official in New York for some time. Play
Censor E,dridge Gerry, who at present
holds the position, has long been subject
of notoriety in the metropolis because Of
the crusade which he has made against i'm
moral dramas, and thanks is due largely
to him, perhaps. that more productions Of
the Il London Sleeps variety are not in
dorsed by the New York public.

Castoria is truly a marvellous thing
for children. Doctors prescribe 1T, med
ical journals recommend it and more
than a million mothers are using it
in place of Paregoric, Bateman's Drops,
so-called soothing syrups and other
narcotic and Supplying remedies. Cas-
toria is the quickest thing to regulate
the stomach and bowels and give
healthy sleep the world has ever seen.
1t is pleasant to the taste and absolute
ly harmless. 1t relieves constipation,
quiets pain, cures diarrhoea and wind
collie, allays feverishness, destroyes
worms, and prevents commissions,
soothes the child and gives it refreshing
and natural sleep. Castoria is the
children's panacea-the mothers friend.
Castoria is put up in one size bot
ties only. 1t is not sold in bulk. Don t
allow any one to sell you anything
else on the plea or promise that it is

purpose" See that you get CAS-

IN MEMORIAM.
Gertrude Helen sheldon.
[From dc vermont ChronieIe.l

From the Vermont Chronicle.1
We offer no biography, but only
humble tribute to our friend whose
earthly presence we so sadly miss.
Mrs. Gertrude Helen Sheldon had a
unique ending to the story of human
life. She wished her friends Happy
New Year in the morning and recelv-
ed the same welcome from a shining
host in the evening. That one should
leave her family when to human
thought it would seem that they need
ed her most appears like a dark mys-
terry of God. That life itself should
end when only well begun appears al
most mOckery. Indeed it is to us all
q tangled skein until we link the pres
ent with the future. But some of us
are comforted because we think We
heard a call saying that it was the
Masters wish that our friend should
stand before Him clothed in garments
of immortality and we think we saw
her cross the river well nigh dry shod.
1t is our joy to think she will never
cross it again forever. We knew her
as a friend and neighbOr-quiet, re-
firing and loving peace. For the pet
ty quarrels which divide families and
make life in a country village a bur
den she had no taste. We're all like
her many a rough place would grow
smooth and we should pluck flowers
in paths now overgrown with thOrns.
To the last she remembered friends
and gave New Years gifts till they
fell from her palsied hands. Her
family was her throne and she was
content to gain her queenly hOnors
there. We knew her as a member OF
our church. Declining health for
bade her taking part in some OF the
rougher activities of church life, but
her heart was always with US. Some
serve who only stand and wait. 1t
was three years ago when she shrink
ingly came forward as one who
would be known as a member OF
Gods family. When the anniversary
came around we stood in fearful
silence beside her bier. Theregard in
which our friend was held was shown
by the quick response of sympathy
which came unbidden from the whole
community. Delegations from the
church, the Masonic fraternity, and
