SHE WANTS PAY
FOR SYMPATHY
England Is Looking to America for Her
Retard.
HAS GREAT
EXPECTATIONS
Expects Our Assistance When the China
Question Comes Up for Settlement
Says the United States Will
Require a Strong Friend.
London, Dec. 3. The practical con
clusion of the peace negotiations at Paris
ii hailed here with considerable sa'ief ac
tion, and the newspapers daily discuss
the so-called "imperial" future of the
United States, coupled with the fervent
hope that it will adopt a colonial policy.
The Saturday Rexiew is very candid
about what it describes as the "slobber
ing cant and hypocritical blazoning of
doutful affection" between the United
States and Great Britain, and says :
"Let us be frank, and say outright
that we expect mutual gain in material
interests from the approchement. The
American commissioners at Paris are
making their bargain, whether they re
alise it or not, under the protecting na
val strength of England, and we shall
expect a material quid pro quo for this
assistance. We expect the United States
to deal generously with Canada in the
matter of tariffs, and we expect to be
remembered when the United States
comes into possession of the Philippine?,
and, above all, we expect her assistance
on the day which is quickly approach
ing, when China comes up for settle
ment, for the young imperialistic has
entered npon a path where it will require
a strong friend, and a lasting friendship
between the two nations can be secured
not by frothy sentimentality on public
platforms, but by reciprocal advantages
in solid, material interests."
NO WASTE OF WORDS
Evidence Which is Right to the Point
and Reliable.
Judge Frank Ives of District Court of
Crookston, Minn., says: For some time
I have used Staart'o Dyspepsia Tablets
with seeming great benefit with few ex
ceptions, I have not been so free from
indigestion in twenty-five years.
George W. Roosevelt, U. S. consul to
Brussels, Belgium : Stuart'n Dyspepsia
Tablets, safe, pleasant to take, conven
ient to carry, give keen appetite, perfect
digestion.
Mr. W. D. Tomlin, mechanical engi
neer, Doluth, Minn. : Onebcx of Stu
art's Dyspepsia Tablets has done its
work, and I am again gaining flesh and
strength.
O. E. Ransom, Huston ville, Ky.: I
was distressedand annoyed for two years
with throwing up food often two or
three times a day; had no certainty of
retaining a meal if I ate one. Four boxes
of the tablets from my druggist have
fully cured me. I find tbem pleasant
to take, convenient to carry.
Rev. G. D. Brown, Mondovi, Wis. :
The effect of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
is simply marvelous; a qmte hearty din
ner of broiled beefsteak causesno distress
since I begun their use.
Over six thousand people in the state
of Michigan alone in 1894 were cured
of stomach troubles by Stuart's Dyspep
sia Tablets.

How to lioolc Good.
Good looks are really more than skin
deep, depending entirely on a healthy
condition of all the vital organs. If the
liver be inactive, you have a bilious look;
if your kidneys be effected, you have a
pinched look. Secure good health and
yon will surely have good looks. "Elec
tric Bitters" is a good Alternative and
Tonic. Acts directly on the stomach
liver and kidneys. Purifies the blood,
cures pimples, blotches and boils, and
gives a good complexion. Every bottle
guaranteed. Sold at Blakeley & Hough
ton's drug store. 50 cents per bottle. 5

bad a fight with fourteen of the red
men, whom he attempted to arrest, in
which he was badly whipped, and State
Game Warden Fullerton haB ordered
that the Indians be taken into custody,
be the result what it may. The Indians
declare they will resist all attempts to
capture them, and will certainly organ
ize a rebellion.
The Sauk Rapids deputy met the In
dians in the woods, and as each one was
carrying the carcass of a deer he at
tempted to arrest them on a charge of
baying violated the game laws. In the
fight that followed the deputy was se
verely punished and his rifle taken from
him. The Indians warned him against
following them, declaring that they
would not be taken alive, and threatened
to bein shooting the moment" a possee
appeared in sight.
Game Warden Fullerton has notified
the authorities that he will pursue the
Indians with a posse and serious troub

A STEAM PIPE
WASBURSTED
Six Men Were Killed on Board the
Alamo at Her Pier in the East river
at New York.
Niw York, Dec. 3. Six men of the
Mallory line steamship Alamo were
killed tonight by the burstingofa steam
pipe while the vessel lay at her pier in
the East river.
The Alamo was about to sail for Gal
veston with thirty passengers, when her
boilers gave forth a roar which was heard
all through South and water streets, and
the force of it sent a shock and shiver
throughout the length of the ship. The
flooring of the deck immediately over
the engine-room was torn into splinters,
and eteam poured up through the open
seams in clouds.
The sound of the escaping steam was
mingled with the shrieks of the dying
men, who were enveloped in it. The
flow of the steam was checked with
great difficulty, and not until the lapse
of five or six minutes Then it was
found that it bad completely filled the
engine-room and fireroom, and that all
who had been confined had not only
been parboiled, but suffocated by it.
There was no 6ign of life left in any of
the bodies, and in several instances the
skin had peeled from their hands and
faces. The second engineer was found
close to the break, in a position which
indicates that he had tried to shut off
the steam at the boiler when the acci
dent occurred, and had died in the at
tempt. Two of the firemen were found
gripped ia each others arms at the bot
tom of the ladder leading from the fire
hole. ' ,
NEGOTIATING
FOR PURCHASE
Commissioners Crdeit the Report to
this Effect Spanish Reluctance to
Talk About the Islands Explained.
Paris, Dec. 3. There will be no joint
session of the peace commission today.
The Americans bad a three hours' meet
ing today.'
The report from Berlin that Germany
is negotiating for the purchase of the
Caroline islands is confirmed from sev
eral quarters, although Count von Moo
ter Ladenbnrg, the German ambassador
here, informed a correspondent of . the
Associated Press that he knew nothing;
at all about the matter.
The American commissioners are in
clined to believe the report, and it is
looked upon as explaining the reluctance
of the Spaniards to give the Americans
an answer in regard to the Carolines, as
well as to the question of religious lib
erty there, and the latest developments
confirm the report that the Spaniards
have been instructed not to yield on
these points until they have made a
good bargain.
