TOWN OF TWO INHABITANTS
They Were the Postmaster and the
 Editor of the Local. Newspapea...

 Colonel Bob WileyioI Hopkins Msho -as been in the west, Etells the . 0 oufnai of town he ran across i'll the west that had just two inhabitants, but which, nevertheless, boasted the DOS session of postottice and a newspa- per. The town was near Pueblo. Col. Gold had been found near where it was subsequently, located The find was supposedly rich and in no time a town of perhaps 2,v.O inhabitants was dourishing. But the ind didn't pan out as expected, and the, town dlWyin- dled away faster than 1t had been built up. Soon no one was left save the postmaster and the editor of the newspaper. The postmaster was pre- pairing to leave and the newspaper man could have done likewise but for the fact that he had contracted to publish hundreds of mining claim no tices. 1
 These notices had to be published for six months before he could get his money. which was on deposit for him in a Pueblo bank and which amounted to $4,00O Or $5,OOO. the cost of each notice being $2O.
 The editor had three months to publish them before he could fulfin his part of tne program and get his money. He did not relish the idea of being the only man in the "city,'' located in the mountains, ''forty miles rom nowhere" so Ae offered the post master $1O0 a month if he would re main until he could complete the off. ctal printing. The postmaster ac. cepted the orIer and the two young fellows (both single mem were the sole occupants of the town for three long months, at the close of which period they turned it over to the ten der merctes Of the owls and bats.- Hopkins, Mo, Journal

the VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is in
Preserving Heslth 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 Tor the same cleans
ing purpose. , ,
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
Won take of it the better; 1t is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs' the
gases and Impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines, and carries
them out Ct the system: go
Charcoal, sweetens the breath after
smoking drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves che complexion, it whltens the
teeth and further acts as natural and
eminertly safe cathartic.
It sbsorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; 1t
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh. 49,. ~ t.%
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
in the form of large, pleasant-tastlnee
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed witt
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 posi-
BILE harm can result from their con
tinued use, but on the contrary, grea
benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking Q
the benefits of charcoal, says: GO ad
wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to al
patients suffering from gas in stomac

and purify the breath, mouth an

BRYAN EXPRESSES HIS r.
VIEW ON ELECTION

Columbus. o., Oct. o.-William J..
Bryan, in a letter to Chairman Harvey
G. CARRIER, Of the democratic state
committee, declining to visit Ohio,
during the present campaign, says:
While Judge Parker announces him-
self as unqualihedly in favor OF the
gold standard he. is no more objection
able upon this question than President
Roosevelt, he does stand for many
things in which the silver democrats
are interested.
The election OF Parker and Davis
would remove from the arena Of poli-
tics the questions which stand in the
way of the consideration of economic
questions and for this reasonI believe
that the democrat who supported the
ticket in 1896 and 1000 should inter-.
est himself III the success Of the ticket
this year. s8
When the election is over. want
TO renew the fight for economic rel
form and 4 believe that we will be in
better position to- do this with Judge
Parker elected than with Roosevelt at

important to secure congress. for with
