CHEERS FOR PARKER.
Greeted Senator Fairbanks at Some
Indiana Points.

Evansville. Ind, Nov. 5.-Senator
Charles W. Fairbanks yesterday cover
ed the territory in southern Indiana
lying between Terre Haute and Evans
vile. He made Is speeches during the
trip. The evening meeting in Evans
vile was large and enthusiastic. Con-
gresham James A. Hemenway presid-
ed.
The days tour was mostly through
the coal mining region of Indiana and
the miners in many instances formed
a large part of the senator's audience.
To them he emphasized the desirability
of a continuance of Republican rule
because he said, it was under Repub
lican administration that prosperity
had come to the mines. the farms and
the factories during the last seven
years. A large portion of the country
through which Senator Fairbanks
passed is regarded as the Democratic
stronghold of Indiana, and there were
occasionally cheers for Parker, but in
the main the reception accorded the
senator were cordial and enthusiastic.

QUESTION A LEGAL ONE.
Case of Catholic Orphans in Arizona
Is Being Investigated.

Phoenix, Ariz., Nov. 5.-Governor
Brodie of Arizona is now in Clifton
and Morenci investigating the scandal
ensuing from the placing of orphan
children from a New York founding
asylum, a Catholic institution, in pri-
waite families The report that he has
been commissioned by President
Roosevelt to seize the children is
erroneous. After recent protest of the
people of Morenci against asylum
methods and their taking summary
charge of the orphans and disposing
of them in private families, the Cath
Ole authorities at the asylum pre-
scented the matter to President Roose-
welt.
1t is learned that Governor Brodie
was in washington at the time, and
the president requested him to investi-
gate and report, though not in an Off
cial capacity. Returning home he
submitted a partial report of the mat
ter and Is now making a further per-
sonal investigation. He is expected to
return to Phoenix next Sunday or
Monday. 1t is further learned that all
but IA of the children were taken back
by the Catholic officials, and these IA
we're placed in families who are now
trying to adopt them. The question
is purely a legal one, and will be set
tied by the probate court of Graham
county.

WON'T MEET MICHIGAN.
Plan for Post-Season Games With the
Gophers Falls THROUGH.

Ann Arbor. Mich. Nov. 5.-There is
no chance of a post-season game be-
tween Michigan and Minnesota at the
worlds fair stadium in st. Louis.
The athletic management at the
local university says that there are
several insurmountable difficulties in
the way of arranging the game, and
that the university was opposed to it.
Manager Baird of the football associa-
ton is quoted as follows:
I'VE have received no offer of the
kind, but in discussing the matter
there are three propositions that can
be set forth. In the first place, let
nobody forget that Wisconsin and Chi
cago have a great deal to say about
the western championship this year,
and until we have disposed of them
we would not assume anything of the
kind. In the second place, it is the
policy of Michigan that college games
should be played on college grounds.
In the third place. Minnesota has a
schedule which carries them into
Thanksgiving day, and a Michigan
Minnesota game would be a post
season game, and the policy of the
Michigan board of control is opposed
to post-seaSon games.

Petitions Are Now Being Circu-

BEST PROTECTED TOWN
Will Have Signal Corps and q
Regimental Band.
Senator Longs Auto Breaks
Down and He Has to Walk.

lola, Kas, Nov. 5.-The Record
says:
Burr Conley has been circulating a
paper the past few days in an effort
to organize a militia company in lola
1t has been known for a long time
that the state board would be glad to
have a company organized in lola,
and all that was needed was the
securing of enough members. The re-
quirements call for As men to start
the company, but this number will
be greatly exceeded. Already 81 have
signed the preliminary rolls. 1t is
known certainly that as many more
could be secured. Not that many,
however, could be accommodated.
With the signal corps here militia
company and regimental band, lola
will probably be the best protected
town in the state. In case of trouble
the signal corps could give early notice
of the advance of the enemy. The
militia company would then march to
any sort of chance the enemy should
overpower them the band could put
them to sleep with the soft music.
The posse comitatus need not be
called upon to assist. With all the
warriors about the city, the aged and
infirm, the women and children,
would not have to toll in the trenches
TO keep the enemy from destroying
the town 1t is all going to be mighty
dne for the town.
Military balls will now become the
fad The signal corps is to have
three uniforms. the militia company
gets two uniforms. and the band will
have two. These uniforms cannot be
wasted at drills and on the lonely
march Some of the boys look just
too cute in their uniforms, and it will
be a shame if they are not able to
show the girls their figures. Besides,
the average feminine heart is said to
be very susceptible to a uniform. And
so If you are not in the signal corps,
the regimenta1 band, one of the
Woodmen drill teams, join the militia
or forever take a back seat. Boys in
dress suits will stand absolutely no
show

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t 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 its value when taken into
ing 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 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 inn
proves the complexion, it WhitenS the
teeth and further acts as a 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 Charcoal LoZengeS; 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 loz-
enges, 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 beauty OF IT 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: 81 ad-
wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to clear the COM
plexion and purify the breath, mouth
and throat; I also believe the liver is
greatly benefited by the daily use of
them; they cost but twenty-five cents
box at drug stores, and although
IN some sense a patent preparation,
yet I believe I get more and better
charcoal in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges
than in any of the ordinary charcoal
tablets"

GRIP sTEALER Is CAUGHT.
Frank Wilson Had Robbed Passengers
for Months.


Fort Scott Kas., Nov. 5.-A man
giving the name of Frank Wilson was
arrested yesterday afternoon about
o'clock at the Frisco depot on the
charge of stealing grips from the rail-
road trains in this city. The arrest
was a temporary relief to the officials
of the railroad company, and when
the prisoner was searched and articles
described by parties who had lost
grips were found upon his person,
every man in the offices heaved a sigh
that was heard all over the railroad
yards. The officials of the Frisco
company have made every effort pos
Sible to capture the man who was
causing so much trouble by taking
grip from a train almost daily. This
has been going on for the past month,
and the men at the head of the COM
pany had thrown up their hands in
holy horror. utterly powerless to even
stop the depredatiOns.
The work of stealing grips was usu-
ally done at night on the evening
trains, but on one or two occasions the
day trains have been visited by the
thief. On Tuesday night agrip was
taken from train No. 10S, which left
here for Kansas City at TAO. Yester-
day Special Agent Samuel Allender of
the Frisco made a run to this city from
Springfield. and he had it in his mind
10 watch things. But under his very
Mccoy. of Cape Girardeau, Mo. was
taken from the train, and Mr.. Allender
was Mortified when the fact was re-
ported.
Wilson denied that he had a pal in
the work of robbing the cars. He con-
fessed to being an habitual drunkard,
and he says that whisky is the cause
of the whole trouble. He has realized
considerable from his work here, and
he says it all went for whisky. He

YALE TRIES NEW PLAYS
Harvard Is Trying for Better
Team Work.
Captain Hurley Out of Practice
All Week.

Boston, Nov. 5.-With Princeton still
worrying over a couple OF weak ends,
the Harvard squad having a hard time
to recover from its defeat at the hands
of Pennsylvania and having discourage
ing practice, Yale experimenting with
the old guards back formation in an
effort to develop a good offense and
Pennsylvania hopeful, the football
championship situation in the east is
more or less of a puzzle.
The brightest work in the Harvard
practice this week has been the work
of two freshmen-Starr. the quarter,
and Wendell right half back. These
two men have proved to be the cher
instruments in the varsity's taking the
ball down the field for touchdowns. The
team is having a hard time to recover
from the battering it got in the Penn
sylvania game last Saturday, four
men, including Captain Hurley, being
out of the practice. The work or the
ends in the practice has been poor. but
Randall, who left the squad on &C
count of pique, has again reported for
practice.
Yale Tries New Play.
Yale has thought we'll enough of
Pennsylvania famous guards back
formation to use it on the scrubs. Va
rying the tackle back and end run play
with Kinney, the big left guard, run
ming with the ball, the varsity scored
a touchdown and made a safety in
brief half Kinney showed up remark
ably we'll as a ground gamer. Stewart,
a substitute end. was played at Capt.
Higan's place at right tackle.
The tigers have been getting some
hard secret practice preparatory to the
West Point game. There has been con-
siderable fumbling and the ends still
show the weakness in guarding their
positions that was evidenced in the
game with Cornell. The offense, how
ever is strong, and almost every day
the varsity is able to score a couple of
touchdowns on the scrubs. Stannard,
the big freshman tackle, is showing
great improvement, and is rapidly los
ing that greenness which characterize
ed his work earlier in the season.
QuakerS Have a Rest.
Pennsylvania players have been Civ
en- only light practice since the Har-
ward game, a complete rest, both phys
ical and mental. having been the OBJ
ject of the coaches. The substitutes
have been given some pretty stiff prac-
tice. however, and their work has been
quite satisfactory.

Madison, Wis, Nov. 5.-Coaches
Curtis and Cochems have been sue
cessful in their experiments with
F'leischer at right guard on the foot
ball team in place of Stromquist, and
the change seems to be permanent.
The particular value of F1eischer is in
the kicking department He is said to
be the best punter in the west, and it
is marveled here that the coaches have
not placed him on the regular team
heretofore this season.
1t is said that he is much better
than StromquiSt at guard, but there
has not been opportunity to demon
strate this. However, Stromquist has
not played the game expected of him,
and his place was a. "hOle" in the line

perimenting at right halfback and

to excite the pity of lovers of the
