SNOW bound TRAINS
WILL ARRIVE TODAY
Coast Roads Succeed In Par
tally Relieving Blockade
i'm North Dakota.

The coast trains, which have been
snow bound in North Dakota during
the past two days, are expected to ar
rive in st. Paul today and tomorrow.
The tie-up of traffic caused by the
violent blizzard which swept the West
ern plains last week was the most
complete that has occurred in several
years. The Great Northern, Northern
Pacific and 500 line have had every
available snow pillow and every lineman
within reach at work clearing away
immense snow drifts and restoring
telegraph wires which were torn down
by the storm.
Reports received at headquarters of
the Great Northern last night stated
that the main line had been cleared
and that trains were moving again
after a blockade of forty-eight hours.
1t is expected that the first of the four
trains en- route will arrive in ST. Paul
this morning, and that the last will
be in before night. West-bound trains
on the Great Northern are being held
at Grand Forks and east-bound trains
at Minot. The Great Northern sue
ceeded in getting one wire in working
order late last night and received the
first messages from the West since the
blizzard started Thursday night.
The Northern Pacific. has had more
trouble than the Great Northern. Three
of its trains are expected to arrive
sometime before midnight if the tracks
are cleared this morning. It was i'm
possible to learn at what time the first
Northern Pacific train will arrive, be-
al Fl
at midnight last night. The first of
the noW-bound trains began to move
at midnight.
The sblockade on the Northern Pa
cific occurred just west of Dickinson,
N. d.. and four trains have been STALL
ed along the line. The Northern Pa
cific west bound trains have been held
at Mandan to await the clearing of the
track One of the west-bound trains
was turned back to ST. Paul yesterday
when it reached Mandan. An east
bound train was turned back before it
reached the blockaded area yesterday.
At a late hour last night it was re-
ported that it was doubtful if the North
ern Pacific track would be cleared
before late today, as at places for miles
in length the main line is blockaded
with drifts twenty feet in height. The
clearing of the track has been rendered
more difficult by the formation of a
heavy crust of ice upon the top of the
drifts, and frequently the rotary plows
have been disabled.
-Fhe Northern Pacific line crew sue
ceeded in repairing one wire yesterday
and communica ton was reopened be-
tween St. Paul and the coast.
Freight movement has been entirely
suspended, and as a result there is a
serious congestion at all Western
points on the transcontinental lines
where freight trains are held. It will
be some days before normal conditions
are restored and the blockade is bro
ken.
The 500 line reported last night that
its tracks in North Dakota have been
cleared and that trains are running.
The 500, it is claimed. did not suffer as
badly as the two coast lines. 500

NEW AND NOVEL
BUSINESS METHODS
Wallb!om Furniture and Carpet
Company Makes Great Hit
With the People.

In the matter of business methods a
St Paul house has demonstrated That
it is up-to-date in all particulars and
original in more ways than one. And
these new ideas have proven so highly
successful at their very inception that
the concern, old in business, has de-
cided to continue and enlarge upon the
former liberal treatment of customers.
Recovered from the effects of the re-
cent disastrous fire and back in the
old location at 409-417 Jackson street,
the Wallblom Furniture and Carpet
company has startled the business COM
munity and made hundreds Of new
customers since the reopening on
March 10. And the old patrons have
been more than pleased with the new
dispensation that promises to make the
old substantial furniture store even
more popular than in previous years.
Passing the store at any time be-
tween and 8 O'Clock last evening the
onlooker could not but note with in
terest the crowd of customers filing
the spacious store room. 1t was a pa
tient, good-natured and Withal shrewd
gathering of bargain seekers, there In
response to simple business an
nouncement that the firm had good
values to offer. The entire force Of
clerks was busily engaged in an eff
fort to promptly serve the ever-in-
creasing throng, but many were COM
PEELED to wait for some time.
This was the result of thesfirst of the
series of Saturday evening bargain
sales that have been inaugurated by
the Wallbloms, and gives an indication
of the tfarongs that will hereafter as
semble to take advantage of occasions
of like nature. Some doubling
strangers came to investigate and went
away elated at the purchase of vases
for 10 cents each that are usually re-
tailed for several times the price
charged. The supply of vases,
5000 in number, was not equal to meet
the demand, and before the hour for
closing the sale had arrived, it was
necessary to announce that the last Of
the beautiful articles has been dispos-
ed of.
This was but the beginning of these
Saturday evening sales Next Satur-
day and every Saturday after that I'M
til further notice the Wallbloms will
give such opportunities, upon each oc-
casion selling some reliable household
article at less than wholesale cost. The
object is apparent. The Wallbloms
believe that they have the largest,
best assorted, most up-to-date furni-
ture stock in the city, and, believing
this, are willing and anxious to have

JURY TAKES BURTON
Kansas Senator's Fate Is in the
Balance.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 26-The
case of United States Senator Joseph
r. Burton, of Kansas, on trial on
charge of having illegally accepted fees
from the Rialto Grain and Securities
company, of this city, was given to the
jury tonight.
The entire day was occupied by ar
guments by both sides. Following the
close Of United States District Attor-
ney Dyer's argument the court deliv-
cred its charge to the jury.
Judge Adams referred to the impor-
lance of the case, owing to the fact
that the defendant is a senator and
that it involves laws tending to Sc
cure the public welfare. The section
of the statutes under which the indict-
ment against Senator Burton was re-
turned was read by the court
Judge Adams commented upon the
section, pointing out to the jury the
influence a senator of the United
States necessarily exerts by his pres
ence in an executive department of
the government and explained details
Of the functions of the postoffice de-
partment.
In reference to the counts of the in
dictment Judge Adams@said the first
five counts relate practically to the
same charge. The first count alleges,
declared the court, that on March &c,
1908, Senator Burton, who was at that
time a senator of the United States,
accepted $500 from the Rialto COM
pany for his services rendered in favor
of that concern in connection with the
postoffice department, in a matter in
which 1t was deeply interested. 1t
was in reference to the issuance of
the fraud order against the company.
The judge called attention to the point
raised by the defense that as the $500
check was paid in Washington, D. c.,
Senator Burton received the money at
that place and consequently the ST.
Louis court did not have jurisdiction.
Counsel for the defense then an
nounced to the court objections to the
instructions. Judge Adams said he
would allow any exceptions and asked
that they be submitted in writing. Z
There will be no verdict tonight.

Decides Against Gen. sternberu.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 90
Secretary Taft has made an adverse
report on the bill which provides for
the promotion to a major generalcy on
the retired list of Brig. Gen. George
M. Sternberg, retired, formerly surgeon
general of the army. The action of the
secretary is taken without personal
opposition to Gen. Sternberg, but on
the general principle that specific pro-
motions by legislative action are nm
wise and unfair to the line of the
army. The report was made in re-
Spouse to a request for an opinion of
his views.

ONLY A SUGGESTION
But 1t Has Proven of Interest and Value
to Thousands


Common sense would suggest that if one
wishes to become feshy and plump it
can only result from the food we eat and
digest, and that food should be albuminous
or fesh-forming food like eggs beef
steak and cereals; in other words the
kinds of food that make flesh are the
foods which form the greater part of our
daily bills of fare.
But the whole trouble is that while we
eat enough and generally too much, the
stomach from abuse and overwork, does
not properly digest and assimilate it,
which is the reason so many people re-
main thin and under weight; the digestive
organs do not completely digest the flesh
forming beefsteak and eggs and similar
wholesome food
really confirmed dyspeptics, although they
may have no particular pain or incon-
venience from their stomachs.
If such persons would lay their preju-
dices aside and make regular practice
of taking, after each meal one or two
Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets the food
would be quickly and thoroughly digested,
because these tablets contain the natural
peptones and diastase which every weak
stomach lacks, and by supplying this
want the stomach is soon enabled to re-
gain its natural tone and vigor.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest every
form of fesh-forming food, meat, eggs,
bread and potatoes, and this is the rea-
son they SO quickly build up, strengthen
and invigorate thin. dyspeptic men, wom-
en- and children.
Invalids and children, even the most
delicate, use them with marked benefit, as
they contain no strong, irritating drugs,
no cathartic nor any harmful ingredient.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the most
successful and most widely known of any
remedy for stomach troubles because 1t
Is the most reasonable and scientific OF
modern medicines.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by
every druggist in the United States and
Canada, as well as in Great Britain, at
SO cents for complete treatment.
Nothing further is required to cure
any stomach trouble or to make thin,
nervous dyspeptie people strong, plump
and well.
