The first words that the ticker de-

NO TROOPS NEEDED
Gen. w. A. kobbe Returns From
Leech Lake.

There is no need of military force in
the Leech lake country.
This, 1t is understood. will be the
subs lance Of Gen. w. A. Hobbies re-
port to the war department, which will
be forwarded to Washington tomorrow.
Gen. Kobbe returned from Leech
lake yesterday. He was ordered to the
Indian reservation last week, when ru-
mors became rife of big outbreak in
that section. Reports said that the
Chippewas were planning to make war
on the whites in the vicinity of the lake
reservation because they disliked the
operations on the Morris timber act.
The attention Of the interior depart
ment was called to the action of the
Indians and Secretary Wilson asked
the war department to conduct a thor
ough investigation Of the affair.
Gen. Kobbe was commissioned to go
to the reservation and Friday COM
pleted his investigation. At the army
building nothing definite was given out
regarding the nature of the generals
report, but from another source 1t was
learned that Gen. Kobbe will recon-
mend that no troops be sent to Leech
lake.
The report will further say that
while the Indians were in an ugly mood
for few days, there never was any
danger of general outbreak.

SORRY THEY VOTED
TO REJECT ALL BIDS
Some Of CounciImen Regret
Their Acknowledgment and
Seeger State Their Cases.
MR.. PATTERsoN's STATEMENT.

In number Of articles which have
appeared within the last day or two
In the daily papers of this city, 1t has
been charged by implication and in
situation that have exercised an I'M
due influence upon the actions of va
rious members of the council. These
charges and insinuations are absolute
ly and totally without foundation.
When l appeared before the committee
on streets of the board of aldermen
to which had been referred the bids
for street lamp posts, stated that
was prepared to prove that. if the
posts which We're piled up at Whitall
and Clark streets, in this city, were
the posts that it was intended to fur
nish to the city under the bid submitted
by the American Development COM
pany, that these posts would not and
could not be made to conform to the
specifications. After the matter had
been referred to the commissioner of
public works for investigation, sever
al aldermen expressed desire to see
the posts to which had referred.
l did what any other business man
would do when in competition for the
sale Of any property or article; that is,
I showed the purchaser exactly what
my competitor had to offer and what
1 had to offer myself and left the de-
cision of the superiority of the article
to their own judgment. No pains
were taken to conceal the fact that
/ did request as many of the members
of the common council as I could reach
personally or by telephone to investi-
gate and examine the posts located at
Clark and Whitall streets. With the
exception Of one member Of the council.
every other member who made per-
sonal examination Of the posts came
away imbued with the belief that the
posts inspected were entirely made
quate, were not satisfactory in any
respect and were. in the opinion OF
many, veritable Junk"
That this is true is evidenced by the
vote of the members Of the council,
an examination Of which will disclose
that out of eighteen members at the
joint session, fifteen voted not to &C
cept the 'junk pile at the corner of
Clark and Whitall streets. 1t is also
Of common knowledge that several
members of the council went to Mr..
Seeger and his attorney during the
meeting held last Thursday and said:
"Will you take this contract, provided
: that there is Incorporated in it pro-
vision excluding the posts located at
the corner Of Clark and Whitall
streets?' and the answer given by the
representative of the American De-
velopment company was. Il do not
know"
I make this statement in answer to
criticisms Of my conduct which have
lately been made. and not because I
believe that any justification for the
action Of the council is needed. No I'M
prejudiced man who will investigate
the posts which 1t was attempted to
foist upon the city can believe that
the council was not justified in refus-
ing to accept them.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
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 it's value when taken into the human
system for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is q 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, 1t 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 1t 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 charcoaI
and the most for the money is in Stuart 8
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 1ozenges will soon
tell in a much improved condition of the
general health, better complexion, sweeter
breath and purer blood, and the beauty of
it is, that no possible harm can result
from their continued use. but on the con-
trary, great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of the
benefits of charcoal says: 'T advise Stu
arts Absorbent Lozenges to all patients
suffering from gas In stomach and bow
els, and to clear the complexion and pur-
ify the breath. mouth and throat; I also
believe the liver is greatly benefited by the
daily use of them; they cost but twenty
five cents a box at drug stores. and al
though in some sense a patent prepare
ton, yet l believe I get more and better
charcoal in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges
than in any Of the ordinary charcoal tab
lets"

IT only hope we will have another
chance like the one the council turned
down." said Aid. Rohland yesterday. L
believe, had the fact been impressed
upon the members that under the spec
ifications none but good posts could be
sold to the city, that the vote would
have been different"
Aid. DahlquiSt says he voted for the
rejection of the American Develop
ment company's bid because he feared
that bad posts would be forced upon
the city.
Wants New Posts.
eff new specifications are drawn up
I want them to specify new posts and
no other" said Mr.. Dahlquist last
night.
An effort may be made at the next
meeting of the council to reconsider
the action Of Thursday evening. Some
doubt that this can be done without
the consent Of the bidders, but there
are others who declare they will make
an effort when the next meeting Of the
council is held.
1t was stated yesterday that the
grand jury would likely include in it's
Investigations the rejection of the lamp
post bids, but this is not likely. The
council had that right. AS to any dis
play Of favOritism shown, the jury may
go so far as to censure the members.

BOARD is SURPRISED
School inspectors Receive Tn.
expected $4,000.

The board of school inspectors re-
ceived surprise yesterday.
1t was money-$14,0 1000, all in one
lump-and it came from a source en-
tirely unexpected, the state and county
apportionment
City Comptroller Betz received the
money and it was included in a wad of
$4,000 received from County Treas
urer Metzdorf's office as the citys
share of the October collection Of taxes.
The board did not expect more than
$4,000 from the state and county APP
portionment fund, and when an addition
of $4,000 was announced yesterday
the members could not realize 1t.
What to do with the money is now
the question. Some Of the teachers
have been pleading for a raise in their
salaries, and the demand will now be
renewed, that the board has some sur
plus cash, but it is hardly likely that
the request will be acceded to.
The board needs money too hadlv
to squander it, and the amount will
likely be invested in some needed i'm
provements.
