Makes a Daring Ride to Warn Ranch.
ers of Prairie Fire.

Bismarck, n. D., Dec. 11.-John Cor
bett, formerly Of Dubuque, and who
has been for a number of years on a
ranch in this vicinity, made one OF
the most daring and sensational rides
on a vicious broncho without saddle
or bride, across the plains, warning
the people of the prairie fire and
fighting the flames as he rode, during
the famous prairie fire that burned
from the Cannon Ball river to the
Missouri. a distance of over 100 miles
long and eight miles wide, sweeping
the prairie as it ran and creating wide
spread %desolation as it burned.
With a heroism like to that of the
famous Paul Revere, young Corbett
jumped on his broncho and with a
fearlessness characteristic Of the
young man, rode mile after mile, stop
ping neither for food or rest as he
shouted words Of warning to the
neighbors and then rode on over the
plains at breakneck speed to r the
settlers. The act of young Corbett
was the means of saving many lives
as it was the means of saving from
total destruction thousands of dollars
worth Of property.

Dubuque, Dec. 11.-An announces
ment that will be welcomed by the
travelling public was given out by the
various ticket agents in Iowa, when
it was stated that on Tuesday the j.
900 and 2.000-mile tickets We're made
effective. All of he roads will make
the ticket a family affair and a large
number of the books have already
been disposed of.
The larger wholesale houses will be
heavy buyers of these tickets and al
ready the local houses have begun
purchasing the 2,000-mile interchange
able tickets for their travelling men.
The 2,00O-mile interchangeable fam
lily ticket which Will sell for $40 is
perhaps the more convenient Of the
two tickets which will go IN sale
wholesalers are purchasing for their
travelling representatives. When quick
moves are necessary the convenience
of not having to buy u ticket at each
station Is incalculable. Where changes
from one road to another are neces-
sary the ownership of a interchange
able ticket is assuredly a boon n
one hat has been impatiently awaited
by travellers.
The 1,000-mile ticket, which is plac-
ed on sale Tuesday, while not so con-
..venient as the one named above, will
be a convenience to men working over
certain lines. The ticket will sell for
$40. as on u straight 2 cents Il mile
basis.
1t was thought that the books would
not be issued until the 18th of this
month, but the companies have re-
sorted to the original intention of is
suing them on the 10th and the ticket
is therefore placed on sale at the var
iouS offices.

Appendicitis.
How To Avoid It and Escape a Sur

Who Knows.
A Simple Method That is Always
EHicacjous,

A Simple Method That is Always
Efficacious.
1t has been only a few years since
It vas discovered that-a surgical oper-
alton would cure appendicitis; in fact,
it has been but a short time since the
disease was discovered and
Whenever there is an intlamed con-
dition of the appendix, caused by i'm
pacted faces in the small cavity open
ing into the intestine, you then have
appendicitis.
The older doctors used to call this
inflammation of the bowels. and We're
puzzled to know h cause.
Even now, with all the knowledge
we have of the disease. no medical man
can tell you why we should have an
appendix, why we find it, where 1T Is,
or what its functions. if it has any.
The disease for which the operation
Is a cure is usually caused by ind1-
gestion, and in many cases follows a
large and indigestible meal.
Physicians have until recently
recommended an operation, but now, as
1t is known that it is caused by indi-
gestion, or dyspepsia, q cure without
an operation is assured.
Where the patient is treated with
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. the UNI
healthy conditions prevailing rapidly
disappear, the stomach and intestines
are placed back in their normal con-
dition, every organ Of the body oper-
ates as it should, and the intlamma-
ton is reduced and the operation is
avoided.
Conscientious physicians, who are
looking after the best interests of their
patients, will always keep a supply OF
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets handy in
their office, where in cases of sudden
attacks of indigestion they can relieve.
the patients at once.
There is no record Of a case of Up
pendicitis where the stomach n
bowels were in a healthy condition
and properly digested the food from
meal to meal.
No better advice can be given to any
one who has attacks Of indigestion, or
who has been threatened with appen-
dicitis, thar. to tell him to go to the
drug store, pay so cents, and take
home a package Of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Whenever heartburn, gas in stom-
ach or bowels, heart disease or stom-
ach troubles, sour eructions, acidity
or fermentation are present, act at
once. Take a dose of the Tablets and
get relief as soon as possible.
