The annual. Christmas rush at the
postoffice will soon be on in earnest.
and anticipating heavy business this
year, Postmaster Fred w. Wilson has
asked the department. for several addi-
tional men to handle the business. 1t
has always been the case in Cttumwa
that the regular force is unable to
handle the immense amount of mail
matter that is transmitted during the
holidays. Each succeeding year the
amount has grown larger. until now
several additional men are required to
properly do the work OF these men,
two are stationed in the Office, two are
are added to the mounted carrier force
and three more foot mail carriers are
put on. All of these men must be
chosen from the eligible list and some
of the candidates who took the exami-
nation some weeks ago may be given
work sooner than they expected.
These emergency men must be chosen
through the civil service channels,
however Around Christmas time peo-
pie begin to send pac<ges through the
mails that are all sizes and shapes. 1t
requires two clerks at the stamp win
dow to weigh the packages and anoth-
er to sell the stamps and under that
system they have their hands quite
full At the cancelling table, more
help is needed. The cancelling ma
chine, with a capacity of several hun
dred letters an hour cannot be used
for packages and each piece must be
handled separately. On the road addi.
tional railway clerks will be appoint
ed to assist in handling the rush which
will begin in week
Receives Check.
= L. B. Garfield of Murray. father of
Glenn NJ Garfield, who was killed in
the recent Rock Island wreck near
Fairfield Saturday morning received a
check for $1,000 from the government
The government three years ago is
sued an order that whenever a clerk
was killed in active duty. the depart
ment would pay to his family $1,000.
However, Garfield was but substi-
tute In active duty and it was doubtful
whether the check would be paid. AS
Garfield was the first substitute killed
in this district, the fact that the 81 900
was paid, places all substitutes in act
i've duty on the level with regular
clerks on duty.

When Kerns first went to Phila-
delphia he thought that he would try
his hand in the beginners class at the
professional boxing game and he has
made a decided hit with the sports Of
the Quaker city They asked him if
there was much sport in Topeka and
he replied: mo, we don't have much
excitement out there. The 1iveliest
things we have out there are temper
ance lectures and once in a while a
meeting of Mothers congress-.
Kerns has beat Ed Gross and Pat
Brown, two we'll known fighters, in the
last two weeks. Gross has defeated
such men as Bob Long, Black Bill and
others, and ne weighs in at 227 pounds.
When it was announced that kerns
was to fight Ed Gross on January II,
there was a bigo demand for reserved
seats from his co-labOrerS and a couple
hundred Of the men employed IN the
big department store were at the ring
side They had tin horns and mega
phones, and as they were a lusty lunged
crowd. they fairly made the place ring
every time Kerns got in a telling dow
When Gross heard that Kerns fol
lowers We're to be out in force TO root
for the western man he was determined
not to be outdone and he hired brass
band and early in the evening OF the
contest paraded the pr1nslpal streets OF
downtown, dressed in swell suit OF
clothes and wore a hlsh hdt; a. tiie
head Of the band he entered the big
boxing club, and it is safe to say tnat
never before in the history of boxing in
hilade1phia. did a boxer make gran
der entry into a local boxing nan.
Early in the evening of the contest the
police compelled the proprietor 70 stoP
selling tickets and several hundred
sports anxious to gain admission, and
even the newspaper men VINO came late
were refused entrance
1t was a glorious affalr WINE II Iast-
ed. The men mixed it for three rounds,
but in the fourth Kerns cut loose IN
true western style and AFTER I'd was
Hoored for the third time the referee
stopped the bout to save cross from
co7nnlete knockout. Then Kerns' Justly
lunged henchnen broke loose ana the
house was in an uproar.
No championship decision ever rem

more noise and good-natureo rackes

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is In
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient dis
infectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing 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
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out@of the system.
Charcoal swe etens 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 a natural
and eTninently 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 ono
form or another, but probably the bret
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges. thew
are composed of the finest poVlered
Willow charcoal, and other baryoleee
antiseptics in tablet form or rsfhar in
the form of large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, 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 possible
harm can result from their continued
use. but on the contrary, great bene-
fit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of
the benefits of charcoal, says: Il ad-
wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels. and to clear the complex
ion and purify the breath, mouth and
throat; I also believe the liver is great
ly benefited by the daily use of them;
they cost but twenty-five cents a box
at drug stores, and although in some
sense a patent preparation, yet I be-
lieve get more and better charcoal
in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than in
any Of the ordinary charcoal tablets. -

Taylor Case Settled by Mail.

Chicago, Feb. 4.-There will be no
open trial in the famous TAYLOR case.
That fact was made practically certain
by President Pulliam Of the National
league while here. Mr.. Pulliam talk
ed very lightly of the matter, which
involves the regulations of some. OF
the games best known characters. He
said the case could be settled by cor
respondence, just as most of the other
ITO cases that had come before the
commission had been disposed Of
President Comiskey of the White
Sox, who brought the case to the COM
missions notice last fall. takes an en-
tirely different view of the affair. A
telegram was received by President
johnson of the American league from
Chairman Hermann of the commits
sion. stating that because some of the
evidence to be submitted by President
Hart of the Chicago Nationals had not
been prepared the meeting could not
be held just now. President Pulliam's
statement that he was not coming
west again in the near future. and
that the matter could be cleared up by
mail, caused President Comiskey to
give up the effort to force the commits
sion to clear UP the matter.

This cold weather makes it d little
difficult to root for sugar beets but in
the near future Arkansas City is going
to have a meeting at which nothing
but sugar beets and a factory will be
talked.
This morning z. Kirkpatrick, chair
man of the Home Industries commit
tee, received a letter from an eastern
party which said that Mr.. Hamilton,
secretary of the American Sugar COM
pany, was enroute now to California.
On his way back he Will visit Arkan-
sas City and meet with our people.
The date of his return is not definitely
known but it is in the near future
Mr.. Hamilton is the best posted man
on sugar beets and factories there is
The fact that he has been interested
enough to come to Arkansas City
augurs we'll for our town.
If we do the right thing we can 10
cate a sugar factory here. If we ac-
complish that, it means the future of
Arkansas City is assured and that
every acre of farm land will be more
than doubled in value within a radius
OF seventy-five miles of US.
Mr.. Hamilton wants to meet the
men who raise the beets. AS soon as
the date of the meeting is announced
every farmer should make arrange
ments to attend We hope all farm
ers will take this matter into consid-
Grafton for it will be money in your
pockets. Be sure and attend this

really said that Arson cannot stand in

ter, for will not only bet him that
will catch every ball he will throw,
spit ball and all, but 1 will also step
up to the plate and guarantee to bat
every one of the six out of the lot.
I still think the spit ball is moth
ing more nor less than the old slow
ball dressed up in new name
Okeete was sort of a daddy to that
OLD delivery and Rusie, Clarkson and
many of the others of that day had
1t mastered. My definition of a spit
ball is a slow ball that comes at you
without revolving, SO that if you have

seams on the bau.''

Brandenburg and the Young
Canady Girl ElOped.
Left Bronson Quietly, the Girl
Appearing Willing.
JUMPED BOND OF $500
The Two Appear Madly in Love
With Each Other.
Yet the Young Lady Was Mae
at Him Apparently.

Fort Scott, Feb. 4.-The attachment
between W. L Brandenburg, the fellow
who was arrested at Bronson some
weeks ago, charged with crirninally
Wronging Miss Maude Canady. the
Bronson girl. and Miss Cannady has
proven so strong that on Monday night
they eloped from Bronson and their
present whereabouts are unknown. The
girl was lured from her home by the
man after he had hung around Bron-
son for several days. Brandenburg was
out on bond, but he has probably
jumped it. He had been bound over
to the district court on felonious
charge. After he was arrested here, he
was taken to lola. where new proceed
ings We're instituted against him, the
action here being dismissed.
w L. EIandenbuTg, the man who
was accused of Wronging Maud Can
nady. of Bronson, and who is out I'M
der $500 bond for his appearance in
district court to answer to the charge
of assault, has run away with the girl
from her home in Bronson and the
whereabouts of the couple are I'M
unknown. The father of the girl told
the story to the county officers.
Brandenburg had been in Bronson all
day and had team and buggy. Mr.
Canaday says the runaway took place
sometime during the late part of the
afternoon. He had seen Brandenburg
lettering about the house, and had sus-
pected that he might be trying to lure
the girl away Later in the evening the
girl was missing and neither she nor
Brandenburg has been seen since. The
father IS certain that they drove away
together, and are probably trying to
get out of this part of the country. 1t
is said that Brandenburg was seen in
Humboldt yesterday but no further
clue to his whereabouts has been Sc
cured
Brandenburg had his preliminary
hearing in lola several days ago The
charge of adultery against the girl was
dismissed and the charge against Bran
