Blood Purlflera" nad "Toales.
Every drop of blood, every bone, nerve
and tissue In the body can be renewed in
but one way, and that is, from wholesome
food properly digested. There is no other
way and the idea that a medicine in itself
can purify the blood or supply new tissues
and strong' nurvea Is ridiculous and on a
par with the fol-de-rol that dyspepsia or
indigestion la c. germ disease, or that other
fallacy, that a weak stomach which refuses
to digest food can be made to do so by
Irritating . and inflaming tho bowels by
pills and cathartics. .
Btuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure Indiges
tion, sour stomach, gaa and bloating after
meals, because they furnish the digestive
principles which weak stomachs lack, and,
unless the deficiency ot pepsin and diastase
Is supplied. It Is useless to attempt to cure
stomach trouble by the use of "tonics,"
pills'' and "cathartics" which have abso
lutely no digestive power, and their only ef
fect Is to give a temporary stimulation.
Ona'graln of the active principle In Stu
art's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest $.uo
grains of meat, eggs and similar looda, and
experiments have shown that they will do
this ia a glass oottle at proper temperature
but of course are much more effective In
the stomach. -
There Is prolably no remedy so univer

but well people who use them at every
meal to insure perfect digestion and assim
ilation of food.
People who enjoy fair healtth take Stu

thU meals, because they want to keep well
-prevention is better than cure, and Btu
art's Dyspepsia Tablets do both; they
prevent indigestion and they remove It
where it exists. The regular use of one or

N. S., March 25. Two great
o liners, the Parisian of the
and the Albano, a Hamburg-
boat, both bound In. heavily
loaded V th passengers, collided off the
harbor' entrance tonight Both were seri
ously damaged, but reached their docks and
landed their passengers safely.
The Parisian's stern touched bottom as
It reached Its wharf, while hard pumping
kept the Albano afloat. Both steamers were
from European ports, the Parisian from
Liverpool and Movllle, and the Albano from
Hamburg.
The Parisian had on board 1,000 pas
sengers, many of them bound for its other
port, ,8t. John, N. B. The Albano carried
about 800 passengers, nearly all for Phil
adelphia, to which port It was to have pro
ceeded after calling here. The Parisian ar
rived off the entrance to the harbor at
dusk and was taking a pilot on board when
the Albano was seen coming In from the
sea. As the Albano approached the offi
cers of the Parisian realised that there was
danger of a collision and the engine rooms
were signalled for full speed ahead. Bo
fore the Parisian could get under way,
however, the Albano struck It on the star
board side a short distance astern from the
engine room, crushing In the great steel
plates and opening up a hole through
which the water poured In tons.
The bow plates of the Albano were bent
and the stem Was twisted, but the water
tight compartments were completely closed
and its pumps set vigorously at work.
Tuars to the Heseae.
Immediately following the collision, the
steamers headed into the harbor at full
speed, the Parisian with a heavy list to
the starboard, and the Albano somewhat
down at the head. The Parisian had con
siderable water in Its stern, which was
also sinking deeper aa It steamed along.
Both Vessels whistled for help and every
tug In the harbor responded, and as the
Parisian appeared In greater danger, sev
eral ranged themselves alongalde that ves
sel and assisted In the pumping.
The passengers on board both vessels
begged that the tugboats take them off,
but the little steamers clung tenaplously to
the side of the liner and never left It until
It was safe at its dock.
Parisian -Badly Damaged.-
The weather at the time was quite clear.
According to Captain Johnson of the
Parisian, the Albano on approaching from
sea signalled that It would pass astern
of the Allan liner, bat a moment latir
headed for the Parisian. Captain Johnson
said that he rang to the engineer to go
ahead full speed and his vessel had Just
attained headway when tho Albano struck
the Parisian. The bow of the Albano
smashed a hole twelve feet wide and ex
tending from the rail to below the water's
edge. After the collision the Albano drew
oft and hastily securing a pilot followed
the Parisian Into port. Meantime the pas
sengers of the Parisian became panic
stricken. The deck was well filled with
passengers, many of whom were immi
grants bound to the Canadian northwest.
These rushed . about the deck, women
fainted and there was a mad scramble for
life preservers,.
The Parisian is one of tho finest s'teamers
in the Allan fleet and carried on this trip
409 sacks of mall and 1,100 tons ot general
cargo. An examination of it tonight showed
the entire afterhold to be filled with
water as far forward as the engine room
compartment It rests on a mud bottom.
On the opposite- side of the same pier is
berthed the Albano with its twisted stem
and damaged bowplates. It Is believed that
it can be temporarily repaired so as to
proceed on Its voyage to Philadelphia.

One of these told a young lady of New
Brunswick, N. J., to quit medicines and
eat Grape-Nuts. She says:
'For about twelve months I suffered
severely with gastritis. I was unable to
retain much ot anything on my stomach,
and Consequently was compelled to give
up my occupation. I took quantities of
medicine, and had an idea I was dieting,
but I continued to suffer, and soon lost
fifteen pounds In weight I was .depressed
In spirits and lost Interest in everything
generally. My mind was so affected that
it was impossible to become Interested la
even the lightest resdlng matter.
"After suffering for months I decided tu
go to a stomach specialist He put me ou
Grape-Nuts and my health began to im
prove Immediately. It was the keynote ot
a new life. I found that I had been eat
ing too much starchy food which I did not
digest, and that the cereals which 1 had
tried had been too heavy. I soon proved
that It is not the quantity of food that one
eats, but the quality.
"In a few weeks I was able to go back
to my old business of doing clerical work.
I have continued to eat Grape-Nuts for
both the morning and evening meal. I
wake In the morning with a clear mind
and feel rested. I regained my lost weight

PEACE TALK GROWS STRONGER
Feellns; at St. Petersburg- ladleates
that Terms May Be Reached.
ST. PETERSBURG, March 25. ( p. m.)-
The information contained in these dis
patches for over a week regarding the
change In Emperor Nicholas' attitude con
cerning the advisability of making a p
ciflc proposal to Japan Is fully confirmed
and In very high quarters peace within six
weeks Is regarded as certain. The posl
tlveness with which this is affirmed would
Indicate that the government Is already
In possession of information as to the
Japanese terms, which Indicate a basis to
which Russia can agree.
The exact situation Is shrouded in my
tery. The secret of what has been done
and what is being done is tealously
guarded. The Associated Press henrs, how
ever, from a source close to the throne
that pourparlers are actually in progress
in Paris, but possibly only of a preliminary
character, and that Copenhagen may be
the scene of the first exchanges between
representatives of the two powers.
In this connection. Importance Is being
attached to the visit of M. D'lswolsky,
Russian minister at Copenhagen, and Baron
Rosen, former Russian minister to Japan,
to Mr. Bompard, the French ambassador
to Russia, on Tuesday. The parties to
this conference refuse to admit that signifi
cance is attached to It In the meantime
the Foreign office Is silent.
PARIS, March 26. 1;30 a, m. Inquiry late
last night tends to strongly confirm the
statement In last evening's dispatches that
approaches toward peace between Russia
and Japan have already begun at a private
conference In a northern European, capital.
In view of the statement from St. Peters
burg that pour parlers were going on In
Paris, the Associated Press last night
called at the Russian embassy and the
Japanese legation. Ambassador Neltdoff
stated specifically that he knew nothing
about such negotiations being In progress
here and Minister Motono, while declining
to discuss the general question of peace,
authorized the statement that no ponr
parlers were opened In Europe. It was
stated that officials in London were not
aware of negotiations.
The statements by Count Nelldoff and Dr.
Motono, while Indicating that negotiations
are not proceeding here, do not alter the
main statement that peace preliminaries
are actually progressing elsewhere. The
real explanation Is really to be found In
the Paris dispatch of lost evening that a
preliminary conference had already been
held at a northern capital. There are
strong Indications that this - capital Is
Stockholm, and that the negotiations will
be conducted at Stockholm If the prelim
inaries prove successful.
The personage acting for Russia In the
preliminary stage In the negotiations is de
scribed as "a leading general." The per
sonage acting for Japan Is not disclosed,
but he Is believed to be one who has here
tofore taken no prominent part In Japanese
affairs.
There is reason to believe that St. Peters
burg and Toklo are aware of the results of
the meeting and that similar Information
Is in the possession of certain diplomatic
circles in Parla This simultaneous receipt
of identical information in St. Petersburg
and Paris probably accounts for St. Peters
burg's view that the preliminaries actually
occurred here.
Concerning the final result of peace! ef
forts, they seem to hinge lees upon the
actual terms than upon Japan's willingness
to pause during the successful culmination
of Its military campaign, as Japan is pro
ceeding on the theory that once in possses
slon of Vladivostok it can dictate its own
terms, including indemnity, which Russia
thus far has strongly resisted.
WASHINGTON March, 26.-When the
dispatch from St. Petersburg regarding
peace was shown the diplomat today on
whose authority the Associated Press, on
March 13 announced from Washington
that the Russian emperor knew the general
terms on which Japan would conclude
peace, he said:
The source of my original Information on
this subject was a hlfc'h one, but it is
gratifying to receive this confirmation.
The European powers, notablv France.
have for some Umc been endeavoring to
find out on what terms Japan would ac
cept peace. These have been certain In a
general way and have been communicated
to St. Petersburg. When he culled his war
council on March 14, the emperor knew
these terms and doubtless communicated
them to his ministers.
The reason for Japans apparent
reticence regarding the opening of peacn
negotiations Is not due, as far an I can
learn, to a desire to continue the war,
but Is because the Toklo government
wishes to be certain that Russia Is pro
ceeding to peace negotiations In good faith
and is not playing ror time as sne ala in
the negotiations prior to the war.

JURY LIST IS THROWN OUT
Jadarea Decide that Drawtnsr tar the
Present Term Is Illegal
and Void.
After a somewhat strenuous wrestle with
a large question, the four law Judges of
the Douglas county district court on Sat
urday morning snnounced a decision
quashing the present Jury panel on duty
and also the entire Jury list for 1906.
At a meeting held subsequently. Sheriff
Power was ordered to summon ISO tales
men to appear In court at 10 o'clock next
Monday morning. The county commis
sioners were also directed to prepare a new
Jury lint In time for a drawing April 10.
It this cannot be done within the time
Intervening, then Sheriff Power will again
be called on to bring Into court a second
batch of talesmen. The business of the
courts Is to go on Just the same as If the
regular list had never been quashed.
Judge Kennedy announced the opinion ot
the court and said all of the Judges con
curred. It was to : the effect that the
evidence wholly falls to establish that the
list contained less than one-fifteenth ot
the legal voters of each town and precinct,
or that a proper proportion was not chosen
from the residents of rt.cn town or pre
cinct. It also found that not a single
nam was placed on the lint at the re
quest of any person Interested In litigation
or of any person who wanted to reward
a friend.

It Is a fallacy for a newspaper writer
to expect his readers to believe all kinds
of absurd statements. The newspapers
of today deal In facts. But no such start
ling truths have ever appeared In pages
of any newspaper as this wenderful story
of the system, whereby the power inherent
in every human being which we call mag
netism has been reduced to a tangible,
practical system for the curing of every
disease known to man. It Is absolutely
beyond the comprehension of the finite
mind to measure the benefits which will
aecruo to the human race from the opera
tion of this system.
No reader of this article has failed of
an experience somewhere in his life which
showed him Incontrovertlbly that this
SOMETHING dwells within.
It Is commonly called magnetism under
different guises with greater or less at
tempts at mysticism, Is availed of by
the magnetic healer, the hypnotist, Chris
tian Scientist and scores of others. I am
not one of thuse; my system hss nothing
whatever to do with religion or any Ism.
It Is from first to last scientific, but so
simple as to be understood by everyone.
In Its application to diseases It cures
perfectly and permanently. The hun
dreds of results obtained by this treat
ment has proved this fact beyond question.
Many have called this treatment "The
Wonderful Science," but It is more gen
erally known as "The Harris Treatment,"
and a valuable book which is of a most
fascinating nature is mailed free to any
address upon request.
