FAST HORSES SAVE MAN
FROM DEATH AT ST. PETER

St. Peter, Mimi, March 24.-While
a severe dust was in progress yesterday
a North Western freight train broke in
two between this city and Traverse
station. Flying particles of dirt filled
the air, making it extremely hazardous
to attempt to find the runaway section
Rather than incur the danger, the crew
brought part of the train to this city
and then returned to Traverse for the
remainder.
In their absence, C. G. Nelson, gen
eral manager Of the Nicollet County
Telephone company, attempted to drive
across the track and was nearly run
down by the runaway cars. The road
he was following, parallels the track
for some distance, but the clouds 81
dust were so dense that he could not
see the train, then but few yard;
distant, and only the feetness Of his
team saved him from being crushed
beneath its wheels.

London, March 24.-With her charac-
teristic tenderness Of heart, Queen
Alexandra has replied to the appeal of
the Royal society for prevention Of the
slaughter of birds, with letter grant
ing that society her full support in it's
crusade against the practice Of Destroy
ing rare and beautiful wild birds for
the sake of their plumage.
The queen 3 intervention Is SO power
full that it is considered almost certain
to bring abotu results and to render
questionable the custom OF wearing
birds feathers and plumage in millin-
cry.
Of course it will not be until summer
is past that the effect Of the queen g
action will be discovered. Indeed, it is
expected that the fashion of wearing
rush hats, with real fruits and flowers
as millinery, instituted last summer,
will prevail in the country the coming
season.
A West End milliner says there is a
great demand for cheap rush hats
which can be bent and pinned into any
shape. "a young lady bought one OF
these hats the other day. said she
"and when I offered to trim it she in
formed me she trimmed her hat herself
three or four times day in the summer
with fresh flowers from her own garden
"In the morning she would garland
it with pink and white sweet peas be-
fore sallying into the village to do he1
household shopping; afternoon woulc
see the hat bent into smaller shape
and adorned with spray of roses.
IA dainty boating hat can be
wreathed in peoples and corn, and thu
garden Victorian bonnet, crowned with
a chain Of buttercups and daisies.
"Clever fingers can manipulate thu
rush hats into the prettiest of French
toques, trimmed with clusters Of rea
cherries, crabapples or blackberries
with autumn tinted leaves.'

Special Cable to The Journal.

Special Cable to The Journal
Berlin, March 24.-Emperor William
and his counselors are gravely con-
cerned over the imminent church crisis
in Prussia, the gravest since the refor-
nation. The question Of the divinity Of
Christ now threatens to rend German
prote stantism in two great parties, the
one liberal, the other orthodox. The
revolt in liberal church circles against
the narrow limits Of orthodoxy has been
famed into fame by the refusal of
the consistory and the supreme court
to sanction the selection of Rev. Mr..
Brown as pastor Of the church at Rems-
cehid, in Westphalia. His offense was
that he preached sermons in which he
repudiated the divine parentage of
Christ, characterizing it as myth in
spired by Greco-pagan influences.
More than 1900 mass meetings have
been held to discuss the religious situa.
tion. Taken together, they form an
astonishing revelation Of the enormous
extent Of the growth Of the so-called
! liberal church doctrines.
The ferment is increasing daily
hourly. The liberal pastors and thei,
congregations threaten secession unless
the bounds Of the creed are widened by
the elimination Of what they call the
supernatural articles.

London, March 24.-Modern attire
finds an expert defender in Heather
Bigg, who in his latest book on the
treatment Of spinal curvature, has sew
eral chapters attacking those craaes,
familiar as the hatless and barefooted
brigades, the Anticorset league and the
patrons Of the pneumonia blouse.
Are corsets detrimental to the health
Mr.. Bigg says no. Women, he declares,
Of all dominant civilized races always
will wear, and with advantage always
have worn, some form of corset. In
those primitive, aboriginal races, in
which the women do not wear them, or
indeed anything else beyond a row Of
beads, they may as girls be perfect in
form, but later they, as a rule, become
hideous objects of Disagreement.
"a good corset should take very firm
hold around the hips and loins,' said
Mr.. Bigg. "Corsets are intended in
their right and proper use simply to
stay and support the body in its natural
shape, and not mold it into funny
forms, according to the vagaries of
fashion,
In regard to the theorists who attack
boots and stockings, which are said to
cramp the feet, deform the toes and de-
stroy the muscular activity Of the
arches and ankle, Mr.. Bigg writes:
"There are two classes of people in
the British islands who do habitually
discard boots and stockings. One is the
fisher folk around the coasts, and the
other the factory girls in some Of the
larger Scottish cities.

feet of those who have been unbooted
until they have reached adult life are
splayed and spread, with large joints
and very generally deforme from the
ideal foot depicted by the greatest
painters or modelled by the greatest
sculptors.'
The greatest power Of the feet, Mr.
Biggs declares, is attained by those
who wear boots.

EATEN OUT OF
HOUSE AND HOME.
How a Confirmed Dyspepttc Developed
an Appetite Like a Cornhnsker's and
Cleaned Out Everything In Sight

How q Confirmed Dyspepttc Developed
an Appetite Like Cornhnsker's and
Cleaned Out Everything In Sight
The wife Of leading druggist Of
Des Moines tells how her brother was
petite to a prodigious eater.
"My brother, who is lawyer In
Chicago, came to visit me and hardly
knew him on his arrival he was 80 thin
and run down. I had not seen him for
years and was much alarmed at his
appearance. He told me not to worry
as he had been in this condition for
years as result Of chronic dyspepsia.
I asked him what he had done For it,
and he said he had done everything
of and consulted doctors without mum
Der, none Of them helped him. I asked
him if he ever took Stuart g Dyspepsia
Tablets, and he said he hadn't, and
what was more, he wouldn't. He had
sworn off taking medicine of any kind.
81 had my husband bring home box
from the store and actually made him
take one or two of the tablets after he
had eaten. They made him feel so
much better that he offered no further
OBJECTION. He had not taken the one
box before he was greatly improved
dyspepsia and gave him wonderful
appetite. He came near eating us out
Of house and home. My, but it did me
good to see him eat. He gained fifteen
pounds before he returned home, and
he writes me that he has not been
troubled with dyspepsia since. -
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually
do the work assigned TO them. They
| relieve weak and overburdened stom-
achs of their work of digestive action.
| Their component parts are Identical
with those Of the digestive fluids and
secretions of the stomach and they SIM
| ply take up the grind and carry on
the work just the same as good,
strong, healthy stomach would do it.
! On this account Stuart IS Dyspepsia
Tablets are perfectly natural in their
| action and effects. They do not cause
any unnatural or violent disturbance in
| the stomach or bowels. They them
selves digest the food and supply the
system with all the nourishment con-
tanned in what is eaten and carry out
Nature IS plans for the sustenance and
| maintenance of the body.
Stuart s Dyspepsia Tablets, by thus
relieving the stomach of its work,
enable it to recuperate. and regain it's
normal health and strength. Nature
| repairs the worn and wasted tissues just
as she heals and knits the bone Of
broken limb, which is of course not used
during the process of repair
