REPUBLICAN,
MEETING
Hon. A. w. Maxwell at On.
era House Tuesday.

Nearly every seat in the opera
house was occupied last Tuesday night
at the republican meeting. A num-
ber of ladies were present and voters
from every part of the township were
there. H. B. Van Valkenburg was
chairman of the meeting, and in few
appropriate words introduced Hon.
A. w. Maxwell, Of Iowa, the speaker
of the evening. Mr.. Maxwell is a
young man,-only 80 years of age
yet he proved to be master at han
ding the issues involved in the pres
ent campaign. Mr.. Maxwell had
been a democrat all his life up to the
st. Louis convention last July, and at
that time was chairman of the demo-
cratic state committee Of Iowa. Be-
fore taking up national issues he gave
cogent reasons why he was advocating
republican principles and candidates
at this time, and no one who heard
him could doubt the sincerity and hon
esty Of the speaker.
He reviewed the records of the two
great political parties since their in
ception, and showed the honesty and
consistency of the republican party,
and dishonesty and inconsistency of
the democracy of today. He called
upon every democrat present who be-
lieved the gold standard was right, to
vote for that party which had been
consistent in its position. He charac-
terized the St. Louis convention as q
fight between democracy and pluto
cracy, and that plutocracy-the trusts,
Wall street and corporations-had
won and were riding rough.shod over
the real democrats.
His tribute to President Roosevelt
Was as beautiful as his arraignment
of the evil influences at work under
the guise of democracy was caustic.
He truthfully pictured the industrial
conditions existing under the Cleve-
land administration and the change
that was wrought by the republican
party Immediately upon its restora-
tion to power.
1t was good speech and the best
of order prevailed throughout the
meeting.

SEATTLE, Feb. 13.-The decision of

upon the Clallam disaster case, handed
down to-day, lays the chief blame for
the disaster upon Chief Engineer de

incompetency -
Captain Roberts is censured for not
having an officer of the ship in the Sec.

and for not giving explicit orders to the
captain of the Holyoke to take the ship
to the nearest shelter.
The officers of the tugboats Holyoke
and Sea Lion are highly complimented
for their share in the work of rescuing
the passengers of the Clallam. ss
De Launey's license is revoked and
the license of Captain Roberts is sus-
pended for one year.
Referring to the cause OF the wreck
the decision says:

William Torst Has System of
Field Telegraphy He Wishes
to Sell Japanese Government
GOING TO THAT COUNTRY
1san Pedro Inventor Says Gom-.
mnnication Can Be Carried
on During Heavy Battle Din

William Torst of San Pablo. Cal,
claims to. have perfected a system of
wireless field communication that bids
fair to be an important factor in mod
ern warfare. From experiments. re-
Gently made he says he can so arrange
his apparatus as to insure direct COM
munication between any number of
movable objects miles apart amid the
roaring of heavy guns and in the
midst of the thickest fighting. : =
Torst is an electrical genius. For
years he has been experimenting with
wireless telegraphy, and although
working with small and inexpensive
apparatus, has achieved many won
derful results. A sliaky fishing pole
Pablo residence, together with two OF
three loose wires and a meager coil,
constitute about all of the material
this young genius has to work with.
But despite this fact Torst is develop
ing new ideas and has equipped a sta
tion that surpasses anything of the
kind now in operation on the coast so
far as results are concerned.
Torst is preparing to go to Japan
with his system of wireless field COM
munication now that war has been de-
clared between that country and Rus
sia. His scheme is being financed by
several wealthy men in the southland
who are ready to push it with their
money.
The attention of the public was first
directed to young Torst when he dis
closed his ideas on the "Hertzian
Wave" a factor in wireless telegraphy
that has long puzzled the minds Of
the worlds greatest scientists. So
convincing was his argument in re-
gard to the location of this wave that
many prominent electricians offered
his assistance.
In giving his views on this question,
Torst said:
"Since making an experiment some
weeks ago. 1 have come to the conclu-
sion that the so-called 'Hertzian Wave
is nothing more or less than radiative
energy. 1t is a relative principle that
permeates space from any parallel OBJ
ject, be it vertical or horizontal, and
is charged with static. or high voltage
electricity, the degree of intensity de-
pending entirely upon the force Of the
current and the insulating capacity of

ADVERTISEMENTS.
THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is
i'm Preserving Health and Beauty.

- Iii lTCSCItifff> llCftitAl dlltt foCAuiy.
Nearly. everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
dIsinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize 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
drug at all, but simply. absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath, after
snloking, drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and. inn
proves the complexion; it whitens the
teeth and further acts as natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
1t 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
best charcoal and the most for the
money is in Stuart's Absorbent Loz-
enges; they are composed of the finest
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-
ton of the general health, better COM
plexion, sweeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauty of it 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: Il adj
wise Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to
all patients suffering from gas in
stomach and bowels and to clear, the
complexion and purify the breath,
mouth and throat. / also believe the
liver is greatly benefited by the daily
use of them; they cost but 25 cents a
box at drug stores, and although in
some sense a patent preparation, yet
i believe get more and better char
coal in Stuarts Absorbent Lozenges
than in any Of the ordinary charcoal
tablets
