$40 pages, while the average ten cent
magazines run 90. The extra pages
carry many popular features. This
number has THE cover Of the year, ex.

appreciate Everybody's, as shown in
the New York Sun by an extended re-
view and the reprinting of several ex-
tracts from the June number. The
New York American, also, gives costly
space for an extended writeup OF that
number.

good stories for McClure's but none

THE VALUE oE CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t IS IN
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal

its value when taken INTO the human
system for the same cleansing purpose
Charcoal is a remedy that the more you
take of it the better; 1t Is not drug at
all, but simply absorbs the gases ana I'M
purities always present in the stomach
an intestines and carries them out OF the
system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion, it whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminentiy
safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases wh1cS
collect in the stomach and bowels; it dis
infects the mouth and throat from the
poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
OF another. but probably the best charcoal
and the most for the money Is IN Stuarts
Absorbent Lozenges; they are composed
of the finest powdered Willow charcoal,
and other harmless anti-septlcs in tablet
form or rather in the form of large, pleas
ant tasting lozenges, the charcoal beng
mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will soon
tell in much improved condition Of the
general health, better complexion, sweeter
breath and puret blood and the beauty
of il is, that no possible harm can result
from their continued use, but on the
contrary, great benefit
A Buffalo physician in speaking OF the
benefits of charcoal, says: Il advise
Stuart's Absorbent LoZenges to all pa

purify the breath, mouth and throat; L
also believe the liver is greatly benefited
by the daily use of them; they cost but

although in some sense a patent prepare

Immigrants Robbed In the Lincoln Depot
=, and ON the Burlington Train
by Bandits.

Lincoln, Neb., April 25.-Passen-
gers on Burlington train No. Al were
held up and robbed Of $1,000 early
Yesterday morning as the train was
leaving the Burlington union station
in Lincoln. The work was accom-
plished mostly while the passengers
from branch and feeder lines OF the
Burlington were in the depot awaiting
the arrival of transcontinentalt trains,
Many of the persons in the depot
were asleep and did not know they
had been robbed until the noise
arose as the train was pulling into
the station. The presence of the
robbers was first discovered by q
woman. She screamed and the peo-
pie in the waiting room gathered
around her. Investigation proved a
majority of them had been robbed.
The confusion permitted the robbers
to escape. Later they made their
presence known on board an immi-
grant sleeper. Conductor and por-
ter. with passengers, were herded in
to one end of the Car and the search
instituted by one man while the
other held the crowd back with guns.
They left the train between Lincoln

AN EXPLOSION OF OIL
Terrible Disaster at an OIL Plant at
Minneapolis.
EIGHT MEN AND TWO WOMEN KILLED
Only Three Bodies Recovered. Fire IL SIN
Burning and the Work of Searching for
the Bodies Il Carried on with
Great Danger.

Minneapolis, Mimi, April 24.-Eght
men and two women were killed by
an explosion at the plant of the
Northwestern Star Oil company at
the foot Of Sixth avenue about 11;30
yesterday morning. The explosion
came without an instant's warning
and second after the conclusion
the walls had been thrown down and
the entire structure was mass Of
flames. Not person in the Office es-
capped alive. Five workmen engaged
on the second floor were thrown 20
feet into the air and these were the
only persons who escaped. They
climbed through the debris and are
now at the city hospital.
Although the cause of the explosion
has not been determined 1t is said
that some of the employees Of the
company were emptying some oil
tank cars into the tanks in the base.
ment of the building and it is possi-
BILE that sparks from switch en-
CINE ignited the infiammable fluids.
Several explosions followed in quick
succession and made the work of the
firemen both difficult and dangerous.
The men could not approach the ruins
and the water thrown on the flames
was without effect. All the depart
ment could do was permit the flames
to burn themselves out and then
search for the bodies of the dead.
At ten o'clock last night three had
been recovered. The fire is still burn
ing and the work of searching for
the bodies Is carried on with great
danger, for 1t is believed that an
other tank filed with oil has not ex-
ploded.
The company was composed OF W.
H. Davis and was was not incorpor-
ated. The stock was valued at $4O,-
600 and the building at $4,000. The
insurance was 1913, ZOO and the loss is
total. All that remains of the build
ing is fire wall which stood between
the office and the tank room, all the
other walls are leveled. Since the
great mill explosion Of 1878 this is
the greatest disaster that has been
exnerienced here.

panic was the result Of window

house behind the scenes here about

RAILROADS ENJoINED.
Ehs Ruling Applies 70 Fourteen Roads I'M
dor the Jurisdiction Of Jadge Gross
~ cup and Judge Phillips.

Chicago, April 25e-Judge Grosscup
yesterday entered an order In the
United States circuit court Of appeals
enjoining six railroad companies
from discriminating against small
shippers la the western territory.
The decision Is especially important
as being the first under the new law.
The government, according to the de-
cision, Is entitled to the injunction
against the offending railroads I'M
der the interstate commerce act, as
well as the ElISins law. The ruling
applies to IA railroads which were
covered by proceedings instituted in
the federal court. Six Of these COM
panies were defendant in the local
court. The others are under the
jurisdiction of the Kansas City fed
eral court. Judge Grosscup an
nounced that he and Judge Philips
were of one mind relative to all the
points involved and that the latter
would render q like decision.
The decision holds that the govern
ment has the right to bring an
action in equity to restrain railroad
companies from discriminating either
by furnishing lower rates or giving
rebates to favored shippers. 1t
further declares that while each
injured citizen has right to such
relief in his own behalf, in cases like
those under consideration, the in
iured persons are so numerous and
the injury to each is so infinitesmial,
that it is the duty of the government
to act for them under the power
specifically conferred by the statutes.

HISTORIC DOCUMENT FADING.
The Declaration Of Independence to Be
Photographed and Then Locked
Up In Safe.

Washington, April 25.-The decla-
ration of independence is to be- seen
no more by the public. An order
has been issued that henceforth the
historic manuscript shall be kept un-
der lock and key in great fire and
lock proof safe. The declaration will
never be exhibited again at any Of
the great international fairs. This
decision was reached yesterday as
the result Of an examination Of the
document by committee of the
American Academy of Sciences, now
In session in this city, who acted at
the instance Of Secretary Hay, whose
attention had been called to the sad
state Of the famous document by
Andrew Allen, librarian of the state
department. Most Of the text Of the
declaration is still legible, but only
one or two Of the signatures can be
made out. There is only trace Of
the autograph Of John Hancock, the
first to sign.
The committee, equipped with pow
erful microscopes, made a careful ex-
animation Of the declaration. It was
found that the ink used was not Of
the first quality, The fact that the
engrosser (now unknown to history
used sharp pen and bore steadily
upon It accounted in measure for
the better preservation Of the text
as compared with the signatures.
The great damage sustained, how
ever, was in 1920, when a copy was
taken by the crude letter press pro-
cess. This was done in order to Sc
cure a fac smile for the surviving
signers Zone Of whom was Thomas
Jefferson) and their families. The
committee recommended that the
declaration be shut In an air and
light tight case and kept from exhi-
bition. Yesterday the document was
photographed and then locked up,
The committee has recommended
that at certain long intervals Of time
Il be taken from its case and re-
photographed. the purpose being to
measure as nearly az can be done
