"Young paid Nan Patterson more

Want Part Of Estate.
The English relatives of Young have
employed the law firm Of Eaton &
Lewis to represent them in their claims
on the estate Of the dead bookmaker.
It is announced that while Young had
in the last few years given his wife a
quarter of million dollars, he himself
had retained very little.
The attorneys for the English rela-
tives will investigate the disposition
Of the $12,5OO left from the $4,000
which Young borrowed, and if they find
it was paid to Nan Patterson by Young
they will set up the claim that the pay
ment was illegal and will endeavor to
lrecover. Young died intestate and
without issue from his marriage.
Under the law his widows dover
right is only one-third Of his estate
the remaining two-thirds consequently
going to his relatives; Young's life
was insured for $4,000, the policies
being in his wife's name. His member
ship in the Metropolitan Turf associa
ton was sold for $4,000 and that was
all he had in his own name, except the
$2,400 in cash he had when he died.

the VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful It Is
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; it is not a
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
smoking, drinking or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables. =.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as q natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
It 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 char
coal and the most for the money is in
Stuart Charcoal Lozenges; they are
composed Of the finest powdered Will
low charcoal, and other harmless anti
septics in tablet form or rather in the
form Of large, pleasant tasting lozen-
ges, the charcoal Delng mixed With
honey. .~.. 49,. A..
The daily use Of these lozenges will
soon tell in much improved condition
of the general health, better complex

and the beauty of it is, that no posi-.
BILE harm can result from their con
tinued use, but on the contrary, great
benefit.

the benefits of charcoal, says: I adj

SPENCE IN THE LISTS
State Chairman Believes He Has Earned
a District Attorneyship.

Special to The Journal -.E ..
Des Moines, Iowa, Nov. 26.-As a
reward for his services as chairman of
the republican state central committee,
r. H. Spence asks to be named United
States attorney for the southern district
of Iowa. He has formidable opposition
from M. L. Temple, member Of the leg
islature from Clarke county. Lewis
Miles, the present attorney, has an
nounced that he will return to the. prac-
tice of law at Oorydon. The change
will be made about July l.
It develops that the real cause for the
fight which has been made upon Spence
of late, including the charges that he
attempted to collect campaign funds
from federal oficeholders and civil
service employees in violation Of law,
lies in the fact that he has made rapid
progress in his campaign for the at
torneyship.
For marshal of the southern district
George M. Christian will undoubtedly
be chosen for second term: Ed
Knott of Waverly will probably be
given a fourth term in the northern
district.
r. P. Clarkson, former owner Of the
Register, will undoubtedly be named
pension agent again.

JEWELS AND WEATHER1
Up.to-Date Girls Fashion of Wearing
/, - Her Rings.

- Her Rings.
New York Sun.
The up-to-date girl no longer wears
her rings to match her costumes, but to
match the weather.
During the hot summer she discarded
her diamonds and rubies for topazes,
moonstones and turquoises. She de-
clared the more ardent stones made her
feel warmer than the weather.
With the nippy fall days she puts on
her emeralds and sapphires. On a
bright, sunny day she wears pearls, but
never on glommy day, for she says
pearls are nothing but tears anyway,
and the combination of pearls and
clouds would be too depressing to en-
dure.
On rainy days she wears opals be-
cause they promise brightness and clear
days to come. Her rubiess, garnets and
diamonds she saves for winter weather.
The diamond is good cold-weather
stone, even if it is somewhat stately,
because it is constantly giving out

Kemper, who had the support

contest was mac e by Shannon
not especially to control the
city convention, but as an en-
tering wedge to the fight to
come later to prevent Mayor
Reed from receiving a solid del
egation to the State convention
The fact that Mr.. Kemper
will have a majority of thirty
in the city convention shows
the impossibility of Shannon to
do Reed any damage. 1t will
also be remembered that the
mode of selecting delegates was
of Shannon's own choosing. it

In spite of the combination
against Reed aud Kemper,
