From the Phillipsburg Dispatch (Rep.):
We think Keny's escrow resigna-
ton about the silliest thing we ever
knew man of his reputed ability to
be guilty of. If Tom Kelly wants to
resign, let him do SO as the law pro-
vides or not attempt it. He could place
his resignation in the hands of Cover
nor Bailey to become absolute on the
condition of his guilt and Governor
Bailey would guard it as carefully as
Mr.. Dillon OF any other man.
the resignation amounts to nothing
and 1t neither helps nor injuries Mr.
Kelly but on the contrary it shows
tnat Kelly has some very poor advisers.
From the Sabetha Repub1ican-Herald:
good many papers are jumping on
attorney General Coleman because he
DOESN'T commence action against Treas
urer Kelly. 1t is said to be a principle
OF law that witness cannot be COM
PEELED to give testimony that would
tend to incEiminate himself, and it may
be that an attorney general is not COM
pelled by law to commence an action
that is likely to get his own anatomy
IN sling. We don't pretend to know
much law, and this may be wrong. We
offer 1t merely by way of suggestion to
the brethren who are criticiSing the at
torney general so severely.

the A1laInl t[epuDllCdn NReD.,
On October 81, 1904, T. T. Kelly,
state treasurer and candidate for re-
election, in a letter to one Hi Dillon,
offers to resign an office to which he
hopes to be elected on November 8,
1904, by offering to put his resignation
in escrow with this Hi Dillon.
Should Kelly put his resignation in
the hands of this man Hi Dillon, it
could take effect only upon the hap
pening of all the following contingent
cies. if in fact it could ever take effect:
1. That Kelly shall be elected on
November s, 1904.
2. That Kelly does not change his
mind and recall the resignation before
it is accepted by the governor.
8. That Hi Dillon causes an inves-
tigation to be made by experts of his
choosing.
4. That Hi Dillon's whitewashers
make an investigation.
5. That Hi DiIlon's whitewashers
make a true report.
s. That Hi Dillon delivers the resig-
nation to the governor.
4 That the governor accepts the
resignation.
s.. That ali of these things be done
in the next two years.
Whereabouts in Kansas is there a
big enough fool to think that Hi Dill
Ion is an ass, who will take steps to fix
a liability of thousands of dollars upon
himself and furnish the evidence to
establish it?
Say, Kelly, what authority has Hi
Dillon to examine, by his firm of ex-
pert accountants, the condition and
of the state treasury?
Is there an open door, to the state
treasury through which Hi Dillon and
his firm of whitewashers may pass and

TIE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
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 clean
sing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
Won take of it the better; it is not a
drue aft all. but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and intesttnes 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 ana I'M

teeth and further acts as d iialurai
and eminently safe cathartlc.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; II
disinfects the mouth and throat from

All DRUGGISTS sell charcoal in one
form or another. but probably the

Richmond. Va. Oct. 3.-In a SER
mon here Sunday night, the Rev. DR..
j. Il. Hawthorne, pastor of the Grove
Avenue Baptist Church. declared that
there are great issues to be settled at

DR.. Hawthorne said that the money
donated to churches libraries. orphan
asylums and colleges by these trust
