MEXICO TO THE RESCUE OF SPAIN The Colonization Project EyoM oy the Diaz Government. A HOME FOR SPANISH TROOPS Transportation Offered Them to Mexico If They Will Emigrate There, and Additional Small Houses,Tools,etc, With Which to Work. New Yoke, Dec. 13. A dispatch to the Press from Washington says: The Mexican government has sub mitted a colonization project to the Spanish authorities in Havana, by which it proposes not only to aid the Spanish government, but to give great assistance as well to the Spanish soldiers who have served in Cuban welfare and are eoon to evacuate Cuba. The proposition of the Mexican gov ernment is to organize bands among the Spanish soldiers and provide them with free passage to Mexici, where necessary tools, seeds and implements for agricul tural work will be furnished, and in ad dition oxen and small bouses will be given to the immigrants and a certain tract of the public lands in Mexico will be provided lor colonization pnr poses. The government, in turn, is to take a lien upon the products, and exact a return of 20 per cent each year until the supplies are paid for by the colonists, after which the land will become their own. For those who do not care to accept this proposition, arrangements have.) been made by the government of Mexico to supply a large number of Spanish soldiers with labor on the public works and in the mines, at the rate of $18 per month. The Spanish authorities in general are in favor of the proposition, for the ex pense of transportaion is thus saved, as well as the necessity of caring in some manner for the soldiers on their retnrn to their native country. It is also con tended that besides doing a generous act the Mexican government will itself be benefited, as its population will be in creased by persons of the same race largely, and large sections of the public lands will be utilized by a substantial agricultural class. PECULIAR POISONS GENERATED IN THE HDMAN BODY The Result of Imperfect Digestion of Food. Every living thing, plant or animal, contains within itself the germs of cer tain decay and death. In the human body these germs of disease- and death (called by scientists Ptomaines), are usually the result of im perfect digestion of food; the result of indigestion or dyspepsia. The stomach, from abuse, weakness, does not promptly and thoroughly digest the food. The result ia a heavy, sodden mass which ferments (the first process of decay) poisoning the blood, making it thin, weak and lacking in red corpuscles : poisoning the brain causing headaches and pain in the eyes. Bad indigestion irritates the heart, causing palpitation end finally bringing on disease of this very important organ. Poor digestion poisons the kidneys, causing Bright's disease and diabetes. And this is so because every organ, every nerve depends upon the stomach alone for nourishment and renewal, and week digestion shows itself not only in loss of appetite and flesh, but in weak nerves and mnddy complexion. The great English scientist, Huxley, Baid the best start in life is a sound stomach. Weak stomachs fail to di gest food properly, because they lack the proper quantity of digestive acids (lactic and hydrochloric) and peptogonic pro ducts ; the most sensible remedy in all cases of indigestion is to take after each meal, one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, because they supply in a pleasant, harmless form all the elements that weak stomachs lack. The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will care every form of stomach trouble1; except cancer of the stomach. They increase flesh, insure pure blood and strong nerves, a bright eye and clear complexion, because all these re sult only from a wholesome food well digested. Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets ac 50 cents full sized package or by mail by .enclosing price to Stuart Co. Marshall, Mich., but ask your druggist first.

A TERRIBLE MINE EXPLOSION Kills Five and Entombs Twenty-Tree Men, Near Shoteau, I. T. Shotkau, I. T., Dac. 13. A few min utes before 9 o'clock last night in mine No. 2, of the Indianola & Kathway Coal Company, three miles from this place, a terrific explosion took place. Five men are known to have lost their lives from its immediate effects, and twenty-three more are imprisoned in the shaft. . The explosion was caused Dy the igni tion of of coal dust after a blast had been fired. Over one hundred men were at work in the mine at the time of the ex plosion, and only about half of these have been accounted for. .There seems to be little hops of- rescuing the en tombed miners, A hundred men are working valiantly to rescue their com rades. It is probable that the interior of the mine is bnrning, although at present this cannot be determined. It is also impossible to ascertain the names of those who have been killed and bureid in the mine. ATROCITIES IN FORMOSA nated him to be military governor of Cnba. .
