PRINCE IS ARRESTED
Chicago Police Hold the Woman Tor Robbery
in Omaha Store.
SHE HAS INTERESTING POLICE RECORD
DOnahue VIII Make strong Eff
fort TO Convict Her on Charge
of Stealing Furs from
KiIpatrick's.

Nellie Prince, who is wanted by the
Omaha police for the theft OF $500 worth
Of furs which she is said to have stolen
from a glass case in the store of Thomas
Fitzpatrick & Co. on August 80 last, has
been arrested in Chicago and will be
brought here for trial. A telegram an
nouncing her arrest has been received by
Chief Of Police Donahue from Superintend-
ent O'Neil of the Chicago department. Cap
tain Dunn has zone to Chicago TO return
with the prisoner as soon as the proper
requisition papers are sent him.
Mrs. Prince is the widow of Charles
Prince, who was charged with the theft Of
SIS, 900 worth OF furs from the Shukert
store in 1899, an, who was killed two years
ago in a hotel at Quincy, ILL.,. by the chief
Of police Of that city, after he had blown a
safe, assisted by his pal, Tommy Good.
Chief Donahue says that Mrs. Prince IS
one of the shrewdest shoplifters in the
United States and deals only in the best Of
plumber. doing her work among costly silks,
satins and sealskins. She is said by the
chief to be always accompanied by a female
companion, who is her ~accomplice.
Chief Donahue states that for several
years Mrs. Prince has proven all that her
name implies among the shoplifters Of the
GOulAlg uAA NoAApltANAg dAA II bNoN
detectives in the larger cities where she
has worked in attempting to locate the
fence" where she d~lsposes of her plumber.
Where the goods she is alleged to have
stolen have been sent is still a mystery.
Three weeks after her husbands sensa-
tional death she was arrested charged with
the theft of a portion of the furs from the
Shuker store, one Of the scalskin cloaks
having been located in Milwaukee. The
garment had been shortened in length, de-
s~troying the mark OF the maker, and the
case against her had to be dropped, as the
property could not be identified.
The chief is preparing to meet the fight
which Mrs. Prince is expected to make in
the courts for her liberty, and hopes this
time to be able to hold her. The woman
usually carries a large amount of money on
her person, sufficient to meet a 5000 bail
bond. II the amount of the goods stolen
exceeds her bail bond she, It is said, takes
advantage of her ready money and disap-
nears.

THE VALUE OF
Few People Know How Useful IL IL in

Few People Know How UHeful IL IA IN
Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is
the safest and most efficient disinfectant
and purifier in nature, but few realize It's
value when taken into the human system
for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more you
take OF II the better; 1t is not a drug at all,
but simply absorbs the gases and impuri-
ties always present in the stomach and In
t~estines and carries them out Of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok-
ing and drinking OF after eating onions and
other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal enectually clears and improves
the complexion. II whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
II absorbs the injurious gases which col
lsct in the stomach and bowels; It disIn-
fects the mouth and throat from the poison
Of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form or
another, but probably the best charcoal and
the most for the money is Stuart's Alb
sorbent Lozenges; they are composed OF the
finest powdered willow charcoal and other
harmless antiseptics in tablet form, or,
rather. in the form OF large. pleasant tast-
Ing ~lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
The daily use Of these Iozenges will soon
tell in a much improved condition OF the
general health, better complexion. sweeter
breath and purer blood, and the beauty Of IL
is. that no possible harm can result from
their continued use. but. on the contrary.
