Tho presidential! campaign has reached
Its final tage and the reports 10 the Re-
publican National Committee from MI
parts of the country seem to be as COM
plete as It Is possbla for nllte-elcctiop5re re-
ports to be. Upon these and upon all tho
information which tho committee has
been able to obtain, ] nm satisfied that
the Republican candidates for President
and Vice President will carry every
Northern State with the possible cxcep-
ton OF Maryland and Nevada and will
not have less than 3li out of the i1i
votes In the electoral college,
The campaign has been conducted with
a much smaller fund than any presiden-
tial campaign for tie pRst twelve years
The fund this year. although made up
of contributions from more than four
thousand persons, have been about one
half as large AS the Republican fund
when President Mckinley was elected In
1896 and about 0ne-hnlf as large as the
Democratic fund when President CleTev
land was elected IN 1892, Every part Of
this fund has come from voluntary contri-
buttons made without demand, impor-
tunity or pressure and without any
agreement, pledge, promise. assurance or
unlers landing express or implied regaid-
Ing the policy OF the action OF the Admin
lstratlon or looking TO any benefit or
advantage to any contributor except tho
benefit which Will come to all business
and to all our people from the continuance,
OF tho Republican policies and admin
istratloM
The great body Of public-spirited citi-
zens who from their means and by
their personal efforts have aided In the
arduous labors Of the campaign, return
the heartfelt thanks OF the National Com
nittee OF 1904.

THAT is the only paragraph in Pres,.
dent Roosevclt's statement which touch
es either directly or Indirectly on the
utestion az to whether tho trusts have
made contributions to tho Republican
campaign fund. 1t Ia almost in terms

He did not say So He cannot say 80.

frankly admitted last night that trusts
and corporations were heavy contributors.
He denied only that the total amounts
thus acquired or utilized was as large
as In previous years. Moreover, the Re-
publican candidate himself denies only
that definite immunity from prosecution
has been promised trusts fer their as
sstance. He declares that he is merely
to give them a square deal, and the terms
may be interpreted not by the laws Of
the lar7l, but By himself. 1t Is plain that
when the time shall come to determine
what square deal between the gov
ernme nt OF the United States and the
contributing trusts really Is the bene-s
aclary Of the generosity of the latte
must either recognize their service or
confess himself guilty Of base ingratitude.

BIGGEST DANCE OF THE YEAR
street Railway Employer Ball at the
Auditorium a Record Breaker
I'm Size.

What is probably the largest crowd that
has danced in the Auditorium flled the
great hall last evening and tested its
floor capacity. The occasion was the
eleventh annual ball Of the Omaha &
Council Bluffs Street railway employees.
When Olsen's orchestra struck up the
grand march the couples that fell in line
gradually encircled the entire floor space,
while Inassed near the entrances was an
immense throng of waiting couples who did
not take part in the first number. All the
boxes were filled and there were people in
the galleries.
AS the strains OF the Rose Dreams
waltz floated through the hall. we'll dressed
couples circled across the floor and a mo-
rnent later the hall was kaleidoscope OF
color. Here and there a gown in this
ocean Nof drifting effects flashed and
cleaned with ornaments which added
brilliancy to the coloring. In one end OF
the hall was a booth with light refresh
ments. while in the basement tables were
spread for supper. Several square dances
added variety and two prompters were
stationed. one at each end of the hail.
Frank Sheets was master of ceremonies
Bert Chambers was the fioor manager and
Fred Francis acted as his assistant. There
was the usual list of committees to look
after the comfort or the guests, There
were twenty eight numbers upon the pro-
gram ana they seemed 10 be thoroughly

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL

Few People Know How UsefuI Il is in
Preserving Health and beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal q
the safest and most efficient dsinfeetant
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 a drug at all.
but simply absorbs the goses and impurf-
ties always present in the stomach and
intestines and carries them out of the
system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoh-
ing. drinking or after eating onions and
other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and Improves
the complexion, It whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartic
1t absorbs the injurious gases which coll
lect In the stomach and bowels; Il disin-
fects the mouth and throat from the poison
or rather in the form OF large, pleasant
OF catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another, but probably the best Charcoal
and the most for the money is in Stuarts
Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed OF
the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and
other harmless antiseptics In tablet form,
with honey.
The daily use OF these lozenges will soon
tell In much improved condition OF the
general health, better complexion. sweeter
breath and purer blood. and the beauty of
1t is, that no possible harm can result from
their continued use. but on the contrary,
great benefit,
Buffalo physician in speaking OF the
benefits Of charcoal, says: II advise
stusrt's Charcoal 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 twenty-five
cents box at drug Stores and although
in some sense a patent preparation, yet I
believe get more and better charcoal In
stuArt's Charcoal Lozenges than in any Of

Oregon Senator Tells What he Knows Of

PORTLAND, Dec. 2-Bent with his three
score years and ten and leaning upon his
law partner the white haired senior sena-
tor from Oregon, John II. Mitchell, who for
nearly a quarter of a century has repre-
sented his state In the federal congress,
today went into the federal grand jury
room TO tell what he knew concerning
frauds which the government believes have
been perpetrated upon It in the acquisition
Of its public lands.
Tired and careworn, he came from the
jury room at the noon hour only to return
In the afternoon. Later, when the senator
left the courthouse, apparently nervous and
worried, IL was stated that the investiga-
tion so far as Mr.. Mitchell was concerned,
had ended. What transpired in that cham
Der is unknown, further than that Mr..
Mitchell went into It with no more favor
than would have been extended the hum
blest citizen of his country. Neither his
request that he be confronted with any
testimony that the government may have
found to his detriment, nor that he be fur
nished with the names of his alleged so-
cusers was granted.

shook hands with those whom he knew In
the corridor and patted Mr.. Henri heartily
on the back. When the session had closed

Mr.. Henri and Jurors.
The time Of the jury will be taken up by
Mr.. Hermann for the greater part Of the

BREAK IN COTTON MARKET
Census Bureaus Ginning Report
Causes n Decline of so to a5
Points on Board.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-The cotton market
broke 30 to S6 points on the census bureau {
ginners' report, indicating a crop in excess
of the governments estimate. There: was
very heavy trading on the decline.
The bears contended that the ginners' re-
port probably forecasted q crop OF nearly
13, 100000 bales $3.50.
Following the report the prices. which
had shown weakness since the opening,
broke sharply, with January selling around
666 cents. March 6.S1 cents and May 6.9s
cents, or a net decline of % and Is points
and break OF practically % a bale In two
weeks time. The market was very active
during the afternoon with big short In
terests covering, while there was also
heavy liquidation. and on every little bulge
the bears seemed disposed 10 withdraw
their buying orders and sell more cotton.
The low figures reached in the slump are
the lowest that cotton has reached in
nearly three years.
NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 2s.-With the
reading OF the ginners' report on the Cot
ton exchange today cotton slumped Al 10
IS points, attended by extraordinary ex-
element. The report that ll.Sls,ll3 bales
had been ginned. with eighty-two counties
yet to hear from, came as a surprise, al
though bearish report was expected, and
the market was hammered with great en-
ergy. The report today showed l,sls, zoe
more bales already gained this year than
the total crop OF last year. s.s
After the first excitement the market
grew duieter. though the decline was not
arrested. January cotton went to alOc,
which Is decline OF about cents in the
last three months
WASHINGTON, Dec Is : The census
bureau today issued a report giving the
quantity OF cotton ginned In 7T counties
up TO December Is last to have been II.
