CITY NEWS
MAY LOSE CHILDREN
Divorced Wife of Arthur B. Dale
Must Appear in Court.

If the divorced wife of Arthur B.
Dale, the poet, does not appear in court
by next Saturday, she will not be per-
mitted to again see her children, the
custody of which will be awarded to
Mr.. Dale. Since Mrs. Dale was grant
ed q divorce some months ago there
has been trouble over the custody of
the children, which were in the Pro-
testant orphan asylum. The mother
protested against the father being
awarded the custody of the little ones,
but she has failed upon three occa-
sions to appear in court in answer to
a summons to show cause why the
children should not be placed in the
custody Of the father.
a week ago yesterday she failed to
appear, sending word that she was too
i'll, and the hearing was postponed un-
til yesterday. When Judge Jaggard
called the case again yesterday the
woman failed to appear, sending an
excuse similar to the one of a week
ago. Judge Jaggard postponed action
one week, announcing that if the wom-
an failed to appear next Saturday that
he would award the custody of the lit
tie ones to the father and issue an or
der forbidding the mother visiting
them.
Since the divorce Mrs. Dale has mar
ried another man, and is now living in
Wisconsin.

MARKET is SUCCESS
jackson Street Institution COL
Iects Biggest Revenue.

Over $4,000 transient gardeners,
meat men and fish dealers availed
themselves of the new Jackson street
market during 1908
Each contributed 10 cents for
the privilege of offering wares for. sale
at the new market. This was exclu-
sive of the regulars, who pay a yearly
rent to the city.
The total receipts of the Jackson
street market for 1903 will be in ex-
cess of $5,500 the largest market rev.
enue ever received by st. Paul. Were
the regulars included, the number of
patrons would be over $4,000.
The new market is a success" said
City Market Master Bevans yester-
day, "and I hope to see the receipts
sWelled $4,000 next year, If not dou-
bled. Build two more sheds for the
gardeners and provide covered space
for the hay men. and we will have a
market that will be ample In size for
the next ten years.
st. Paul this year has been an ex-
cellent market for the gardeners and
dealers In farm produce generally, and
we have been drawing heavily on Min
HeapoIlS IN consequence. All the buSi-
ness that was lost to us while the
Third street market was in operation
has returned to u.s."
May to November is officially known
as the market season, but the sheds.
open as they are to the chilly blasts,
have been literally patronized since
the latter date, and no more heavily
than during the week preceding
Christmas. Turkeys and meat pre-
dominated, and the owners did a good
business.
A new line of revenue is received
from the hay dealers, a department
added about two weeks ago. A sec
ton of the grounds has been set aside
for dealers in grain, and the patron
age has been heavy. The hay and
grain men say if their part of the mar
ket is to be made a success 1t must be
covered, as they want to be protected
from rain and snow.
Next year $4,000 will be used in i'm
proving the market. This will build
one additional iron shed for the gar
deners and pave and curb the tract of
| ground lately purchased. The new
shed will take care of about zoo addi-
tional gardeners. Another shed. If is
said. is absolutely necessary.

ANY agent caught writing a policy

If we could get our hands on one of
the officers of the company we would
make it hot for him. The trouble is,
though, they sneak into the state
quietly and then get out again before
we know that they have come.
IF we succeed In securing the
passage of bill, which has been in
troduced in congress, We will have
these wildcat concerns at our mercy
and can quickly stamp them out. The
bill was drafted by a number of state
insurance commissioners, and provides

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is In
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Few People Know How Useful 1t Is In
Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is the safest and most efficient disinfec-
tant and purifier in nature, but few real
ize 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; it is not a drug
at all, but simply absorbs the gases and
impurities always present in the Stom-
ach and 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 natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which col
lect In the stomach and bowels; it disin-
fects the mouth and throat from the poi
son of catarrh.
All 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, pleas
ant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being
mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
the general health. better compiexion. Od n
sWeeter breath and purer blood, and the
beauty of 1t 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: 81 advise Stu
arts Absorbent Lozenges to all patients
suffering from gas in stomach and bow
els. and to clear the complexion and puri-
~ the breath, mouth and throat: 1 also
believe the liver is greatly benefited by
the daily use of them; they cost but
twenty-five cents box at drug stores,
ano, aitnough IN some sense a patent
preparation. yet ] believe I get more and
better charcoal in Stuart's Absorbent
Lozenges than In any OF the ordinary
charcoal tablets

BOYS To HANG FEB.IO
Governor Fixes Date of Execu-
ton of the Nelson Boys.

Wednesday, Feb. 10, was yesterday
fixed by Gov. S. r. Van SAINT as the
day upon which Charles and Henry
Nelson, the two Owatonna boys, must
pay the penalty upon the gallows for
the murder of III. III. Krier, proprietor
of a saloon and bowling alley at OWa-
tonna on the night Of April IS, 1903.
The decision of the governor was
Immediately wired to the sheriff of
Steele county, and the death watch
was placed over the boys soon after
the message was received. The prep
arations for the double hanging will
be commenced Immediately.
The two boys have not yet given up
hope of saving their necks, and will
place their cases before the state board
of pardons at its meeting on Jan. 10.
They viii ask for communication Of
their sentence to life imprisonment.
The two boys were convicted of
murder in the first degree. after their
accomplice, William Sutton, had turn
ed states evidence and confessed that
he and the Nelson boys had commit
ted the murder. Sutton is now serv-
ing life sentence at. Saltwater.
The murder was committed in a
field near the center of Owatonna,
across which Krier was going on his
way to pay his landlord a months rent.
Krier was assaulted and shot when
he resisted. Robbery was the motive.
The boys were captured in Minneapo-
lis some time later.
After their conviction their cases
We're taken to the supreme court and
the judgment of the trial court affirmed
a few days ago. There was a dissent
ing opinion and upon this the friends
of the boys have hopes that the par
don board will find sufficient grounds
to commute their sentences.
Charles Nelson Is Is years of age,
and his brother Is 16. Sutton, who is
now serving q life sentence at Still
water, is also 16 years of age.

When we had the bill introduced
we expected little trouble in getting it
passed, but a strong opposition has
developed, to fight it. There are a
large number of big companies in the
East, who claim to be old-line compa-
nies, and who refuse to conform to
the laws of the various states With
the assistance of number of Western
companies, they are doing all the lob
bying possible to beat the BILL
I'VE hope very much to see the
measure go through, for it offers the
only real remedy by which the people
of the country can be protected from
these irresponsible concerns, which are
