According to news received by tele-
phone from Thermopolis. only one man

ever Since he was captured.
Upon his person were found a re-
volver and some money that are known
to be the same as that taken from Ed
wards saloon yesterday.
1t was the larger of the two men who
fired the shot that killed Middaugh.

Cincinnati, Nov. 16.-Dr. Charles w.

ident of the University Of Cincinnati.
Mr.. Dabney in his inaugural address,
discussed Democracy and the School,"
He said in part:
LET US cast out Of our minds all
half-hearted arguments for the free
education Of all the people. 1t is true
that It pays a community to educate
all It's youth but the public school is
not a charity institution. School houses
and schoolmasters are cheaper than
jails and soldiers: but we do not
found the public school on any such
ground as this. Such arguments for
free schools are little less than an in
suit to free people. The true de-
mocracy Is something nobler than a
policeman guarding and protecting our
property and our rights. The de-

WILL BE FEW
CONTESTED SEATS
SOUTHERN REPUBLICANS
WHO WENT THROUGH THE FORM
OF RUNNING FOR CONGRESS.

viii Have Little Chance for the
$4,000 Allowed i'm Contested EIec-
tiOns-Few Contests Likely to Re
Entertained on Account of the
Large Republican Majority in the
HOuse-Cabinet Makers, Tariff Re-
visiOnists and "Trust Busters
Are Getting Busy.
By R. NJ Larner.
Washington, Nov. 16.-The large Re-
publican majority in the next House
of Representatives is apt to have a
disappointing effect upon Southern Re-
publicans, who went through the form
of running for Congress, in order to
lay claim to the $1,000 allowed in each
contest. If the Republican margin in
the next House had been very narrow,
1t is probable that some of the South
ern contested election cases would be
decided against the Democratic men,
ber-elect. AS the Republicans have
more majority than Speaker Cannon
knows what to do with, it is not prob
able that one-half of the contests
contemplated, will be entertained.
1t is an old game the Southern Re-
publicans have been playing success
fully for a number of years, under in
SEPARATION. it is believed, from crafty
political lawyers at Washington. Since
the close of the Civil War there has
hardly been a Congress without a con-
tested election case from the Charles
ton district. The Republican contest
ants have rarely been able to convince
Republican House of the justice of
these chronic contests. but they are
made just the same. every two years,
because of that tempting allowance of
$4,000.
President Roosevelt may have to re-
vive his explanation bureau. The
cabinet makers are busy reconstruct
ing his cabinet for him, and the tariff
revisionists, led by Representative
Babcock, are demanding an extra ses-
sion of Congress Immediately after
inauguration. The trust busters are
also active with announcements that
Attorney General Moody is sitting up
late at nights preparing to run
amuck" of the beef trust, the railroad
trust and any other old trust in sight.
In the meantime it is understood the
President proposes to withhold any OBJ
servations he has to make as to his
future policy for his forthcoming mes
sage TO Congress. He hopes to COM
plete his message before starting for
the st. Louis Exposition, and to that
end he will labor during the coming
two weeks

THE VALUE or CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is
I'm 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
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 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, II whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
II 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 another, but probably the
hest charcoal and the most for the
money is in Stuarts Charcoal Lozen-
yes. 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 lozenges, the charcoal being
mixed with honey.
THE daily use OF these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condi-
tIon OF the general health, better COM
plexion, sweeter breath and purer
blood. and the beauty of IL Is that no
nossible 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 ad-
wise stuart's Charcoal Lozenges TO all
patients suffering from gas IN stomach
and bowels, and 90 clear the COM
plexion and purify the breath, mouth
and throat. ] also believe the liver Is
greatly benefited by the daily use Of
Thorn; they cost but rs cents box at
drug stores. and although IN some
sense a patent preparation, yet / be-
lievc I get more and better charcoal
IN Gtuart's Charcoal I,OzengeH than IN
any Of the ordinary charcoal tablets"

THREE MET DEATH
BY INHALING GAS.
In One of the Cases Only Was There
Evidence of Suicide.

EVluence OF suicide.
New York, Nov. 16.-Three persons
are dead and another is at a hospital
in serious condition as a result of
inhaling Illuminating gas to-day. In
only one case was there anything to
indicate that the victim had invited
death.
After eking out wretched existence
for several months past, ill, unable to
work and dependent upon the charity
of her neighbors, Mrs. Rosa Rosen-
berger locked herself into her little
basement room in the rear of an East
Side tenement, opened half a dozen
gas jets and lay down to die. Her
body was found by the janitress of
the building
Frederick Brandt, who called himself
a professor of astrology." turned on
the gas by accident in his lodging in
West Forty-second street and lost his
life.
Accidental disconnections of a tube
from the gas stove in his room on
East Thirty-seventh street is supposed
to have been responsible for the death
of William Coffey, a roofer. Coffey
had been dead for hours when his
body was found.
Mrs. Mary Higgins, a domestic, was
overcome by gas fumes in a furnished
room in the East Side. She is now
at a hospital and will probably re-
cover, but her condition is critical.

on his adventurous voyage. said:
II left Port Arthur at midnight in a
binding snowstorm. The boat was

rapidly through the storm with lights
extinguished and passed them unno-
ticed. We reached Che Foo without
mishap of any kind"
The commander of the torpedo boat
destroyer was optimistic with refer
ence to Port Arthur He declared that
all the forts remained In Russian hands,

BRECKENRIDGE SUFFERS
STROKE OF PARALYSIS.
His Condition Serious hut Not Nee
essarlly Critical.


Lexington, KY, Nov. 16.-Col. W.
C. p. Breckenridge. former congress-
man from the Ashland district and
one of the best known orators and law
yers in the South was stricken with
paralysis at his law office this morn
ing, and is seriously ill.
Some weeks ago while in Marquette,
Mich, trying law case. Col. Breck-
enridge contracted a severe cold, and
upon his return to Lexington he suf-
fered the second illness of his life. He
had never recovered from that illness,
and had attended to little business,
though going to his office every morn
ing.
This morning. while seated at his
desk, he was stricken with paralysis.
His stenographer hurriedly summoned
his son, Desha Breckenridge, and ply
sicians. They worked over Col.
Breckenridge in his office for several
hours, after which he was removed in
an ambulance to his residence. An ex-
animation by physicians showed the
right side paralyzed. Tonight he is
slightly improved, though he is not yet
able to speak. Physicians pronounce
his condition serious. but not imme-
diately critical. Should he suffer an
other paralytic stroke. however, it is
feared the result would prove fatal.

Paid the Penalty for Murder He
Committed in August.
Wethersfeld, Conn.,, Nov. T.-Joseph
Watson, the 1S-year-old colored boy
who murdered Henry Osborne Of Hart
ford, last August, paid the penalty for
his crime this morning when he was
put to death by hanging on the gal
lows in the state prison. The drop
was sprung at 1909 o'clock and at
1915 Dr. Fox, the prison physician,
declared him dead.
The reflex muscular action shown by
Watson after the drop was sprung
was remarkable. While suspended in
the air and apparently after his neck
had been broken, he clasped his hands,
then drew them apart and finally let
them drop to his side.
Shortly before midnight the sacra-
ment was administered to the con-
demned boy and later he knelt in pray
er with his spiritual adviser, the Rev.
A. A. Crook, of Hartford.

tim said to BE Not to Withdraw
the Negroes Nomination Because
of His Color, but if the Senate
Aeains Rejects His Conformation
New Name Will Be Sent In.
By r. M. Larner.
washington, Nov. 16.-As the as
sembling of Congress approaches, the
ouestion arises in political circles,
What action does the President in
tend to take in the now famous Crum
case?"
DR. Crum is the negro who has so
frequently been nominated Collector of
the port of Charleston, but has never
been confirmed by the Senate. The
President insists in putting it up to
the Senate to either confirm or reject
Crlm. and in the meantime Crum is
without pay. The Controller of the
Treasury has decided that Crum is
not allowed to draw salary until he is
confirmed.
For nearly four years Crum has been
performing the duties of Collector at
the port of Charleston, under a series
of continuous appointments made by
President Roosevelt Regularly, Col
lector Crum, in his quarterly estimates
for salary, submitted to the Secretary
of the Treasury, has inserted the
amount of his own salary. With equal
regularity the accounting officers of
the Treasury have stricken out that
item so that up to date Crum has not
drawn a cent of salary for such du-
ties as he may have performed.
When Crum was first appointed the
fees of the office entitled the collector
TO a salary of about ST. 700 per annum.
This year the transactions at that port
fell off. so that under ordinary condi-
ti0ns the collectors salary would be
about $1,000.
It is understood by those who pro-
TESS to be familiar with the Presidents
intentions regarding this extraordinary
case, that he does not propose with
drawing the nomination of Crum SIM
ply because of his color. If the Senate
rejects his confirmation, new name
will be sent to the Senate. When the
Crum case was last considered by the
Senate Committee on Commerce, it was
reported favorably, by strict party
vote. The Democrats succeeded in pre-
venting a vote at the close OF the East
session, and Crum was at once given a
recess appointment, under which he is
now administering the office, confident
that he will eventually be compensat-
ed in full for his services, by special
act or otherwise.

Not Give In.
San Francisco, Nov. 16.-At the
opening of the third days session of
the American Federation of Labor
convention a telegram alleging the
complete failure of the attempt of the
operators to open UP the Fall River
mills was read to the delegates. The
announcement was received with
cheers.
A stormy session was held, in which
a fractional fight regarding the seat
ing Of John Mangan, a delegate from
the Florists and Gardeners Union,
among the Chicago unions, was aired.
The Credentials Committee failed to
report on the status of William
Schardt, president of the Chicago fed
Grafton. When a delegate threatened
to bring the matter to focus and
have it threshed out on the floor of
the convention it was side-tracked by
making it a special order of business
for tomorrow.
1t is also expected that considera-
ton of the Fall River situation will be

Che Foo. Nov. 16. Evening The

Nov. IL. copies of which We're brought
to Che Foo this morning by the Rus
sian torpedo destroyer Rastoropny.
prints brief details of a daring exploit
which resulted in the sinking of four
funneled Japanese torpedo boat de-
stroYer.
Japanese torpedo boats and one de-
stroyer were engaged in removing
mines, mostly their own. from Tache
bay on Nov. 8. Midshipman Dimitrieff
conceived the idea that he could tor
pedo the Japanese boats under cover
of darkness as the latter were very
busy and enjoying a fancied security
IL was the very audacity of the plan,
the Novikrai says, that made 1t sue
cessful.
Securing a steam launch from the
battleship Retvizan, carrying a torpedo
tube and accompanied by half n dozen
silent volunteers, Midshipman Dimi-
trieff, in the dense darkness, slipped
out of the harbor and succeeded in
evading the Japanese searchlights.
Circllng around the Japanese boats
with the launch moving at top speed,
the midshipman came within striking
distance from the seward side and
launched his projectile. 1t sped
through to the destroyer. There was
a sudden explosion and the destroyer
sank Immediately.
The launch then sped towards the
harbor, but was not pursued. the Jap
anese evidently having not observed
the launch. and thinking that the de-
stroyer had struck one of their own
mines.
Midshipman Dimitrieff is the hero OF
the day at Port Arthur, according to
the paper.

flee detectives to-day, the police believe
they have unearthed a system of rob-
berry which has cost department stores
and private families In the upper west
side many thousands of dollars during
the past few months.
The police claim that this girl, with
the assistance Of a woman several
years her senior. has executed a long
series of most clever robberies. For
more than six months every effort has
been made to Apprehend her, but Ii was
not until she answered a decoy adver-
tisement to-day and was identified by
a young woman employed in one of the
stores which has been robbed that they
were successful
The plan upon which the girl
worked, according to the police, was to
obtain a position as messenger or cash

waite family, and then awaiting a good
opportunity, make off with as much
valuable property as she could Fay her
