Pere Marquette Syndicate.

New York, Dec. 22-In well.iu-
formed circles it is considered likely
that the minority stockholders of the
Pere Marquette railroad viii be per
mitted TO join the voting trust. The
matter is to be decided at meeting
of the syndicate managers in Boston
today. 1t is said that so many of the
minority holdings have asked the
privilege of depositing their shares
in the voting trust, subject to the
control of the syndicate managers.
that it is probable the requests will
be favorably considered. although tie
syndicate managers already control a
majority of the stock outstanding.

years. and 1 was troubled with indiges-
ton, headaches and drowsiness; I had no
appetite and could not sleep, and l was
steadily losing flesh all the time.
II had spent small fortune on medi-
cine and doctors bills; I consulted sew
eral doctors; one told me that I had liver
trouble, another told me that had kidney
trouble, others prescribed remedies for nu-
merous complaints, but none helped me,
and I finally looked upon my bad stomach
as part of my miserable existence, CIV
ing up all hope of ever being myself
again.
II knew that the cause of it all was due
to office work, which precluded sufficient
bodily exercise. and the eating of nom
nourishing and non digestive food, and the
drinking of tea and coffee. had to quit
my work as lost my mental and physical

"A friend of mine, who weighs about
240 pounds, and who looks the picture Of

food and drink Postum Cereal Coffee. He
said that his perfect health was due to the
use of these two pure cereals. He said
that they would build up the delicate cells
of the brain and body and restore me to
health.
II acted on his advice, and have no
cause to regret it. l have now been using

Special to The Journal.
Mankato, Mimi. Nov 22.-The city
council last night passed All ordinance
granting street railway franchise
through the city on the main business
streets to U. P. Hord, Of Aurora, ILL.,, and
+. G. Keator, Of Chicago. These gentle
men expect to put in an interurban line
to st. Peter and eventually to go on to the
twin cities. No bonus was asked. The
council also approved the street lighting
contract with the American Development
company Of Chicago to begin Dec. l and
replace electric lights with gasoline Sas
lights. The change is due to the alleged
poor service and high prices Of the home
company which have caused more or ess
local agitation for years past.
The council also voted to deed back to
the heirs of the late Colonel J. e. Tourte
lotte the hospital building and grounds
which he donated to the city fourteen
years ago. A half interest goes to DR.. J..
II. Tourtellotte of Minneapolis. The hos
pital was not we'll located and a much
larger one was subsequently erected, max
ing this one unnecessary. and the city
neglected to keep it in repair. This led
to a demand by the heirs that the prop
erty be decided back. The heirs say they
will give 1t to any church society that will
operate it.
A jury in the damage suit of Henry

BAPTISM IS
NOT ESSENTIAL
Some Surprising Remarks Made by
Mr.. Rockefeller's Baptist
Pastor.

Ne.v York SIT, Special Service
CHURCH, DEC. 2.

Net1 York Sss,s Special Service
New York, Nov. 22.-The Rev. DR.. r. P.
Johnston, pastor of the Rockefellers,
father and son, has set Baptist ministers
Of this city to talking vigorously by his
utterances in paper read before the Bap
t1st' church congress, just held In Boston.
Before he departed for Boston he called
together a number Of New York ministers
and read to them parts OF his paper. Some
advised him to make public his views,
while others deplored the step.
What he said was that baptism was
no essential to church membership. The
practice of taking people into churches
without baptizing them is common among
Baptists lin England, and the, pastor of
the Fifth avenue church in this city thinks
the practice should become general here.
Part OF what Mr.. Johnston said follows:
"Couldi there be church without bap-
tism? Ones answer must depend upon
ones views Of the efficacy of baptism.
assume baptism is an expression of con-
fession merely, an act Of obedience only,
and that it is an essential neither Of SAL

Speaking of these expressions to-day the

talk.

New York. Nov. 22.-The mixed mar
ital relations of Paul Barnes who wrote
Dolly Grey" and other songs were
tangled up still further to-day when he
appeared before Magistrate Pool to give
bonds to pay his wife, Nellie Adelaide,
Sill week.
Barnes, who is knewn off the stage as
George F. Feger, was arrested two weeks
ago and arraigned on charge of non
support. Feger set up in defense Chi
cago divorce. which Magistrate Pool de-
cided was no good. The magistrate
thereupon ordered the song writer to pay
the $11.
When the matter came up before Magis-
trate Pool again to-day Patrick J..
Obeirne, counsel for, F'eger, wanted to re-
open the case on the strength Of new
evidence. A man. whose name he would
not tell, had read of the case against
Ferger, he said, and recognized the COM
plainant as the woman to whom he was
married in 1887 by the Rev: John D. Steen.
A visit to the vital statistics bureau,
Mr. Obierne said, confirmed this story.
The first husband, he added, was about to
begin an action for divorce against Mrs.
Feger, naming Feger as the co-respon
dent. r..-
Magistrate Pool gave Mr.. Obeirne a
week to submit a brief in the question.
Feger gave bonds to pay his wife the 81
