CRIPPLEs THE CASE
Prosecution in Boardman Di.barment
Case Seriously Handicapped by
Courts overruIing of Motion For
continuance-Prosecution Unable to
8 Secure Miss Mckinnon as Witness.

Judge Burnham this morning over
ruled a motion Of the attorneys APP
pointed to prosecute in the Boardman
lisbarment case, for q continuance on
the ground that they could not, on
Monday, the date set for the trial OF
the case, secure the evidence of Miss
Agnes McKinnon, formerly court re-
porter for this district, who is one of
most important witnesses for the pros
ecution.
The motion was made and argued by
City Solicitor Van Law, ]. L. Carney
and j. F. Meeker, three Of the attor-
neys appointed by the court to prose-
cute. The prosecution wants either
Miss McKinnon as a witness, or her
deposition, as evidence, and had sub
poenaed her as witness. The sub
poena was served upon Miss McKin-
non at Cedar Rapids on the evening
of November % and on Friday the 25th
notice was received by the clerk that
Miss McKinnon could not be present
The notice was in the shape of a ply
sician's certificate, saying that owing
to Miss McKinnon's health, she. could
not attend the trial. The notice was
dated the 23d, but Thursday being a
holiday, was not in the clerks hands
until Friday.
The attorneys for the prosecution Of
fered to go to Cedar Rapids today to
take Miss McKinnons deposition by
agreement but the defense made a
counter proposition to the effect that 1t
was willing to go to Cedar Rapids to-
day to take the deposition but that 1t
wished to stipulate farther that, in
case the deposition counld not be Sc
cured, the case would be tried Monday,
notwithstanding the lack Of the evil
dence sought. This the prosecution re-
fused to do.
In overruling the application for
continuance the court held, briefly,
that the prosecution had not used due
diligence in getting the witness here:
that everything was ready for the trial
on Monday; that the case had been
pending since August, and that there
had been sufficient time to have Sc
cured the necessary deposition, long
ago.
The presence of Miss McKinnon, or
her deposition, is considered import
ant by the prosecuting attorneys as
she was the court reporter whom Mr.
Roardman induced to change the rec
ords in the abstract of evidence, the
act for which he is to be tried for dis
barment.

LOCAL COMMENT

Judging from verdicts returned by
juries in the district court this week,
one had better take his chances with
hydrophobia than to get in front Of a
moving street car. To the man who
tried to stop the trolley car the jury
gave a Judgment in the sum Of SGT;
the man who was bitten by a vicious
dog received $3.50.
The incorporation Of two new BUSH
ness concerns during the past week
would indicate that business is not al
together at a standstill Bricklayers are
wanted for work on the government
building and chicken pickers and tip
pers are in demand at the produce
houses. The man who is looking for
something to do can usually find it If
he really wants to work.
The donations to the poor, for
Thanksgiving day dinners are a pretty
good indication Of the general pros
perity that is felt in all quarters Of the
city. The offerings Of the school chill
dren this year have exceeded that Of
any previous year in the history Of the
schools.

The funny man Of the Oskaloosa
Herald remarks: "The picture Of the
new Y. NJ. G. A. building at MARSHALL
town looks a good deal like the one
that was dedicated in Oskaloosa two
years ago. Marshalltown, however, is
doing better. It used to be farther
than that behind" Marshalltown may
be two years behind Oskaloosa in riv-
aling her in building a new Y. M. c. A.
building, but 1t would take too much
space to enumerate the other many
good things this city has enjoyed for
years, that the Mahaska capital has
only recently acquired. Street cars,
for one, might be mentioned. but Oska-
loosa has always been touchy on that
point, and as Margaret DAILY Vokes
would say, "it's best not, to say-too
much about it."

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful it is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Few People Know How Useful it is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize it's value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is remedy that the more
you take of it the better; 1T 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 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 natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases Whlch
collect in the stomach and bowels: u
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison 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 Charcoal LoZenges; they
are composed Of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal, and other harmless
anticipates in tablet form or rather
in the form of large. pleasant tasting
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
The daily use Of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condition
of the general health, better complex
ion. sweeter breath and purer blood,
and the result Of 1t Is, that no pos
sible harm can result from their con-
tinued use, but on the contrary. great
benefit.
A Buffalo physician, in speaking OF
the benefits of charcoal, says: L adj
wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to clear the complex

WOULD KILL INcuRARLEs.
Lives of Seriously Afflicted Patients.

A French professor is advocating the establishment of deathrOoms in hospit- als, where patients affected with incur able diseases who have lost all desire to prolong their days may at their own request be sent painlessly out of the world, says the Newark News. It is ex- tremely doubtful if such measures will ever be adopted in France or any other civilized country. Occasionally people are met with among ourselves who pro- fess to believe that this kind of work is done in some hospitals, but they are l quite wrong It is the business of the physicians and all those connected with the care of the sick to prolong human life, not to shorten 1t, and under no cir cumstances whatever do they consider themselves justified in departing from this rule. To put people to death be- cause of incurahle disease would tend to diminish the sanctity of human life, and possibly open the door, to the commits Sion of many crimes.

 She covered her face with her other hand and the tears trickled silently down her cheeks, while the advanek guard of the British Grenadiers coming to take possession, marched gatly by amid the silence of the people looking gloom1ly on.
 There was step outside on the stair. De Vitre, pale and haggard, entered the room.

 Iris said he selected the speediest Frenchman in the basin"
 And the Maidstone you know anything of her qualities?''
 "The vice admiral told me that he had chosen the fastest ship in the fleet for you, so you may have chance of overhauling her, if you care to, all though they have three days start We'll, wish you bon voyage, captain. You will, of course, report to Vice Ad- miral Saunders before you leave Goodbye"

HIS TORIC ALAMO.
THE PLACE TO BE PRESERVED
 AS A MEMORIAL.
No Spot in America of More Interest Than This One, Where an Entire,
 Band of Men Sacrificed Their Lives.

As the years go on, we are learning to value and treasure the many historic felics existing in our land. And most heartily will those interested in Ameri- can history sympathize with the efforts made by Miss Driscoll, of Texas, sec onded by the Daughters of the Repub- lie of that state, toepreserve as lasting memorial the spot in San Antonio where perished so pluckily Davy Crockett, Bowie, and their companions in the tragedy of the Alamo.
 It was in the year 1886 that band of 1S8 men, shut up in the old mission of Alamo, held out So well against force outnumbering them many times, for II days withstood the ire of attacking Mexicans under the leadership of the cruel Gen. Santa Ana Strange as 1t may seem, not.one of the immured Tex ans lost his life during the first days of the siege; but when the Alamo at last fell, not one of them remained alive. In Austin, Tex, there stands a monument to the memory of these heroes, which bears the few, but suggestive, words:
 'Thermopylae had it's messenger of defeat The Alamo had none''
 No, mot one was left among the Tex ans to tell the story, the Mexicans, when once they succeeded in forcing their wayYwithin the walls of the Alamo, cutting down without quarter. The old mission, founded by the Franciscan monks in 1722. had been built as sort of fort, a place of defense against hostile Indians; and was of size and strength requiring considerable force to over come. During the Texan war for inde- pendence 1t was occupied by the Texans, they having captured San Antonio and expelled the Mexicans found therein
 The fort at that time was in more or less of a state of dilapidation, but there were thick enclosing walls of adobe brick, the monastery buildings and the chapel were standing. The church at this date was rootiess, but it's walls were thick and stockade connected 1t with the plaza, AQueducts near the church provided good water. but during the siege the Mexicans cut off the supply The imprisoned Texans, who were not easily discouraged. dug 8 well, without trouble obtained excellent water; and

having suf1ciency of food, they waited with good heart for reenforcements to arrive and set them free. Messengers were able to get out and carry the tale of the Alamo's need. but help did not come in time.
 The Mexicans, after 200 shells had en- tered the fort and done no perceptible harm, and in the meantime having lost scores of their own men at the hands of the Texas sharp-shoOters on the walls. resolved on combined attack. a general sortie. On the morning of March 6, 1886, afters three days of ominous quiet, those within the fort heard the thunder clap of the final charge. Then they must have realized the attack coming from all sides, that hope was gone; but no man thought of surrender. They first defended the walls, then were driven to the monastery, and finally to the church. Bowie, who was very i'll with pneumonia, fought from his bed in the convent, died with his knife by his side, Crockett fell ] in the church. No man was spared. Two women, two children, two servants were all that came out of the fort alive. The little company of under 200 men were utterly wiped out, but the Mexicans paid dearly for the loss of these lives. Not only in their own losses in the siege
