The Value Of Charcoal.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is
in Preserving Health md Beauty.

in Preserving Health md Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take Of it the better; it is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestlnes and carries
them GU. OF the system.
Charcoal sweeters the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating on
ions and other odOrouS vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion. 1t whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
Ali druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
Is in Stuart's Absorbent 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 tasting loz-
enges, the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in much improved condition
of the general health, better complex
ion, sweeter breath and purer blood.
and the beauty of it 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
Stuarts Absorbent Lozenges to all pa
tients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to clear the complex
ion and purify the breath, mouth and
throat; also believe the liver is great
~ benefited by the daily use of them:
they cost but twenty-five cents box
at drug stores, and although in some
sense a patent preparation, yet be-
lieve I get more and better charcoal in
Stuarts Absorbent Lozenges than in
any Of the ordinary charcoal tablets"

KILLED BY AN OFFICER.
Negro Fired First, hut Ills Aim Was
Not True.

Griffin, Ca, Oct. 10.-Oficer ]. w.
Williams shot and killed an unknown
negro last night at 10 O'Clock on East
Solomon street, and himself had a
narrow escape from death, as the ne
gro fired three times at him.
Early in the night Officer Williams
was informed that a strange negro
was hanging around the home of
Lula Allen. 1t was thought he was
the negro who murdered the Atlanta
policeman last Saturday night. Will
liams went at once to the place and
found the negro sitting on the front
steps. He approached the man and
asked his name and business. The
ne%ro replied that it was none Of
his - business. Williams
then told the negro that he would
have. to arrest him as he had orders
tc$~arrest all suspicious characters.
The negro arose, and as the officer
caught him by the arm the negro
threw the officer down. When the
officer arose the negro pulled his pis-
tol and fired point blank at him. The
bullet went wide of the mark and
the officer reached for his gun, but
before being able TO shoot, the negro
fired the second time.
The off1cer was still unhurt and re-
turned the fire with deadly precision,
three shots taking effect, one in the
left wrist, one under the left eye and
another penetrating the heart.
The negro, after being shot, turn
ed and ran fifty yards before falling.
The officer, unaware of the fatal re-
suit of his bullets. ran to a nearby
telephone and asked for help. The
entire police force went to the scene
of the shooting and soon found the
negro, lying face down on the edge
of the sidewalk. He was dead and
clasped in his right hand was the
weapon with which he had tried to kill
the ofticer-his finger still on the iris
ger.
He was carried to police headquar-'
terS, and although hundreds of negroes
have viewed the remains, no one so
far has identified him. Papers found
in his pocket indicate that he went
by the name of Jim Leonard, and the
police think he was a negro tramp.
Officers in Atlanta were notified and
came to see if he was the murderer of
the Atlanta officer, but declare he was
not the man.

FIGHT ON SCHWAB
NOT MORGAN & co.
shipyaTds Company Want Schwab
to DisgOrge $2O,OOO,OOO.

to DisROrge $2O,OOO,OOO.
New York, Oct. 10.-In answer to in
quiries, Samuel Untermyer, counsel for
Stockholders Executive Committee of
the shipyards company, to-day made
the following statement:
mo attempt has been made to sub
poena George w. Perkins. There will
not be the least delay in doing so
whenever so desired. Mr.. Perkins, I'M
like Mr.. Schwab, is one of the most
accessible men in New York. He has
volunteered to testify whenever noti-
fed.
Il have already said and repeat that
the creditors of the shipbuilding COM
pany whom we represent have no griev-
ance against ]. P. Morgan & Co. The
agreement with Harris, Gates & Co.
to market the Schwa Morgan stock
before other stock was marketed was
made with Mr. Schwab. 1t provides
for the marketing of $4,000 shares of
stock of Messrs. Morgan & Co, with
the 100000 shares of Mr.. Schwab.
Our grievances against Mr.. Schwab
and his representative. Mr.. Pam, are,
however, very real and serious. 1t is
toward establishing these charges,
and not against Messrs Morgan &
is directed. The first mortgage bond
holders claim that Mr.. Schwab, under
the guidance and inspiration of Mr..
Pam took control of the shipyards
company in an irregular and -unlaw-
full way by means of a sale of the
Bethlehem plant at an eXtortionate
price and upon unconscionable terms.
That having thus secured control
the condition of the company was mis-
ia H..
the co:npany's treasurer as one of
great promise and prosperity, when it
was at that time on the eve of col
lapse and that this was done to in
duce investors to buy the securities.
The bondholders claim that
Schwab's 100000 mortgage is void;
that he is subject to a stock liability
of $20,0000O0 on stock for which he
has not paid, and that the company
can be made entirely solvent by the
enforcement of the remedies against
him for his acts.

n ELVIC catarrh is phrase coined
by Dr. Hartman, covering all that
large class of diseases that used to
be known as female weakness. The
lower portion of the abdomen is called
by anatomists the pelvis. The organs
contained in this portion of the body
are known as the pelvic organs. There
are several of them, very delicate and
very subject to catarrh. Few women
escape entirely catarrh of these organs.
While each case presents some minor

WHITE MAN LYNCHED
NEAR STARKE, FLA.
May Have Been Hanged Through n
Mistake.


Mistake.
Starke, Fla, Oct. 10.-The dead body
of Samuel Williams, a white man, was
found hanging to tree near Lawtey
this morning, he having been lynched
some time during the night by parties
so far unknown.
No one seems to know the cause of
the lynching, but the general impress
sion is that a mistake was made in
the man, or that he was supposed to
know the location of his brother and
was secreting him from the large par
ties hunting for him.
His brother, Alto Williams, is wanted
for a most henious crime in connection
with two children, one girl of 5 years
and the other a girl of IA years of age.
At this time coroner's jury is ex-
aiming into the case, and it is ex-
pected that the full facts in the case
will be brought out. The dead man
was rather favorably known, and the
Iynching is almost the sole topic of con-
Versation.

Pelvic catarrh. therefore. is a gyneric
term that covers all cases of catarrh of
the pelvic organs. There is no cure

Peruna does not relieve these cases
by temporarily mitigating some symp-
tom, but by a removal of the cause.
