cans to each Democrat.
James A., TaEney, OF Minnesota, is

cseding jlemenway, of Indiana, thus

Democratic members of the appropria,
tions committee; Graf, of Illinois.

TROOPS ARE ANGRY
AT CAR NICHOLAS
ORDER RETURNING SPECIAL
THANKS TO cossAcks. ARGUS.
ES GREAT INDIGNATION.

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 9.-Via
Iydtkuhnen-Dec. 11,-Dissatisfaction
is spreading among the troops because
OF the Cars order returning special
thanks 10 the Cossacks for their loyal
services without mentioning the other
troops. The Cars neglect in thus
picking out the Cossacks for special
mention and ignoring the balance of
the army, has heen taken up by the
revolutlOnists among the soldiers and
they are using it to the greatest ad-
vantage in furthering their cause. They
arc using the Cars order to persuade
the soldiers that they have been In
suited by the Car, that he no longer
believes in their loyalty and that this
has generated them from their oath
of loyalty.
There is no longer any doubt but
that the reactionaries are gaining the
uscendancy at Tsarkoe.Selo. The Car
has ordered that Pobledonostseff foT-
mer Chief Procurator Of the Holy Syn
cd, General Ignatioff and other reac-
tionarles viii submit as, to how the
country can best be brought back to
a condition of tranquility.
The central government no longer
exists except in name. The Cars
orders are disregardedby nearly all 10
cal officials who are acting wholly on
their own authority in dealing with To-
cal affairs.

NEW PHONE LINE NOT WANTED
Dual system in Omaha lie Not Needed,
Real Estate Men
Think.

1t was the opinion OF all those who talked
on the subject OF telephones at the meet
ing Of the Real Estate exchange wednes-
day that Omaha does not want a dual tele-
phone system. At the same time the speak
ers thought pressure should be brought to
bear on the Nebraska Telephone company
to make 1t connect with independent lines
in districts where Il does not have local
service OF its own, but has long distance
wires.
Members of the exchange who expressed
themselves were w T. Graham, @. q.
Saunders and c. F. Harrison. Rome Miller.
I. w. Carpenter. H. B. Graham and David
Cole, who had been invited to the meeting
by the committee appointed 10 provide for
the discussion OF the telephone question,
also made addresses.
II was decided to invite Representatives
OF the Nebraska Telephone company and
OF the independent company to be present
and talk at the next meeting OF the club,
which, on account of the Ak-sar-Ben fes-
tivities, may be postponed until a week
from next Wednesday.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.

Few People Know How Useful IL IL in
Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is
the safest and most efficient disinfeetant
and purfier 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 II the better; 1t Is not a drug at
all. bat simply absorbs the gases and i'm
purities always present in the stomach ana
intestines and carries them out OF the sys-

Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok-
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 eminentlv
safe cathartic.
IL absorbs the injurious gases which col
leet In the stomach and bowels; IL disin-
fects the mouth and throat from thu
poison Of eaIarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal In one form or
another but probably the best charcoal and
the most for the money is In stuarts Char
coal 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 tast-

Buffalo physician. In speaking OF the
benefits OF charcoal, says; II advise
stuart's Charcoal Lozenges 20 all patients
suffering from gas In the stomach and
bowels, and TO clear the complexion and

also believe the liver is greatly benefited
by the daily use Of them; they cost but
