Quick Action for Tax Money.

A nonresident stock dealer by
the name of Beckley was about to
ship some cattle from Braddock
without squaring a matter of forty
or fifty timoleons in the way of
taxes. This was a direct slap at
the dignity of the free and indie
pendent bailiwick of Emmons. The
schatzmeister heard of it, and as
he looked over his specs at his in
formant, he thanked him for the
information, his countenance beam
ing with that benign smile which
became a habit in the days of yore
when he was wont to give two
pounds of cheese for the price Of
one in the suffers store at old Fl.
Lincoln. Then stretching himself
to his full height, he held his good
right hand aloft and swore by the
Beard of the Prophet, the great
horn spoon--and Godfrey-that the
delinquent should cough up ere he
shook our sacred soil from his No.
10 brogans. Thereupon, not hav-
ing time to tap the wire, he ambled
more or less gracefully over to
town and bought a talk to Hazel
ton through the phone at central.
AT this point, some inquisitive
cuss who is always putting leading
questions, will rise up and ask why
he didn't telephone from the court
house. But we don't like to tell.
Now, the schatzmeister, like others
of us who hold Office or would like
to, is not as slender and agile as he
was in the days when, in the Queen
City he did pedestrian stunts "over
the Rhine or climbed the big bill
to listen to the music of the Cher
man bant. In fact, the worthy Of
fetal possessed what dippant folks
term a bay window, and he is not
by any means one of those bottom
less Pits that the dominies used as
a medium for throwing the scare
at us when we were children. So,
of course, he couldn't in propria

FLORAL DISPLAY
SCORES A SUCCESS
Maple Room and the Show Is
Greatly Admired.

The dahlia exhibition given by the Pa
cific Coast horticultural Society in the
maple room at the Palace Hotel yester-
day was a great surprise to the large
crowd in attendance. Not only was the
display noteworthy for the great number
of different varieties exhibited, but also
for the wonderful colorings and combina-
tions of colorings shown in the different
specimens.
1t is only a few years since that the dah-
liza was generally regarded as only fit
to serve the purpose of gracing a place
against the back fence or filling in a spot
that was of no paticular use for any
more desirable purpose. It's colors were
mainly confined to red, yellow and white.
Now Solomon in all his glory was never
arrayed with the marvellous variety of
shadings that were much in evidence
in the display of yesterday. Some of the
latest varieties are very close akin to the
chrysanthemum, others resemble the
carnation, while one or two varieties re-
semble the rose.
Either for garden establishment or for
house decoration the dahlia of to-day is
a most valuable acquisition to the world
of Horticulture.
The maple room was very attractive
yesterday. The central decoration was
an immense arrangement of palms. foli-
age plants and ferns, most artistically
grouped. Around the walls was placed
the floral display.
The exhibit of George A. Pope of Bur-
lingame was very handsome. His general
collection included cactus, show, deco
rative and pom-pom varieties, for which
he took the first prize. He also took first
prize for each of his individual displays
of POM poms, decorative, show and cac-
tus.
Head Gardener T. A. Munro of Golden
Gate Park was very proud of his display
and he certainly had cause to be. In this
display were more than $50 different va
rieties, every color, shade, shape, size and
STYLE being represented. Among those
attracting much favorable comment were
the beautiful specimens of Britannia and
Wilson Noble cactus, Joe Thompson and
La Favorita decoration, and Thomas
Pembered and John Walker show varie-
ties Honorable mention was awarded
this fine exhibit.
w. H. Crocker sent up from Burling
anne a collection Of handsome dahlias and
Towering shrubs. The Crocker estate
from these grounds have sent specimens

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is
in Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is the
safest and most efficient disnfectant and pur-
ifier In nature but few realize its value when
taken into the human system for the same
cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is remedy that the more you take
OF 1t the better; it is not drug at all. but
simply absorbs the gases and impurities always
present in the stomach and intestines and car
ries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking,
drinking after eating onions and other odor-
Gus vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves 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.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form or an
other but probably the best charcoal and the
most for the money is in Stuarts Absorbent
Lozenges; they are composed of the finest pow
dered Willow charcoal and other harmless an
tiseptics in tablet form or rather in the form
of large pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal
being mixed with honey
The daily use of these 1ozenges will soon
tell in a much improved condition of the gen.
eral health, better complexion sweeter breath
and purer blood and the beauty of it is that
no possible harm can result from their con-
tinued use. but on the contrary great benefit
A Buffalo physician in speaking of the bene-
fits Of charcoal says: Il advise Stuart's Abb
sorbent Lozenges to all patients suffering from
gas in stomach and bowels and to clear the
complexion and purify the breath. mouth and
throat; also believe the liver is greatly bene-
hted by the daily use of them; they cost but
twenty-five cents box at drug stors. and al
though in some sense patent preparation, yet
I believe l get more and better charcoal in
Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges than in any OF
