MEETING
PURCHASE OF ROCK CRUSHER
CAUSES A DISCUSSION
of Opening Bids in Commit
tee Meetings Instead of Before En-
tire Council Censured-COuncil Will
Meet Again at $3.50 This Afternoon.

At the meeting of the city council |
last evening a "rock crusher debate"
was the feature and for a time mat
ters were very interesting, though a |
compromise was finally reached by |
adjourning until $3.50 this afternoon, |
at which time the council will meet |
and further deliberate on the subject. |
When the committee, consisting of
j. NJ. Ferguson. B. F. REM and Fl. F..
Johnson. which had been appointed
to receive bids for rock crusher,
was called on for report the chair
man stated that they favored the pur-
chase of an Aurora No. @" which
machine had been offered them by
Beall & Co of Portland. for the price
of $3.50 %. b. Pendleton. However,
at this stage a telegram from a man
named White, at Chehalis. Wash, was
read, and in 1t the statement was
made that he held written quotation
from the makers of the Aurora ma
chine in which one of their No.
crushers was offered at a figure much
under the bid made here. Following
the reading of this message ]. S. Beall,
who was present, took the floor to eX-
plain the meaning of the telegram and
A. c. Furlong. representing the Ma
tional Drill company, one of the rival
bidders. also did the same. though
each spoke from a different stand
point.
In consequence of the above contro-
versy the councilmen were thrown in
to somewhat of a quandary but 1t
was finally agreed to take the COM
mittee's report. However, when a
drafted ordinance authorizing the
purchase of the machine from Beall
| & Co. was produced. the councilmen
who were not on the committee balk-
! ed. declaring that the matter was be-
| ing handled in too much Of cut and
dried manner by the committee, con-
| sequently the ordinance was passed
up. Thereupon Councilman Swea rim
| gen severely criticized the practice of
opening bids in committee meetings
instead of before the entire council,
declaring that such proceedings were
council. This was also concurred in
by other members of the body.
A petition was presented from n
| majority or the residents OF tne WeSt
side of Jackson street, between John
son and Washington, asking for \
sidewalk, and the same was referred
to the street committee.
An ordinance prohibiting loose stock
from being at large in any of the
city and making penalties for the
owners of any such, was read for the
first time and laid over until tire next
meeting. The ordinance is more far
'eaching than the one on that subject
now in force.
The monthly reports of Marsha
Coffman and Recorder Fitzgerald

latter showed the following statistics
for the past month.

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
disinfectant 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
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
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as 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 Stuarts Charcoal LoZenges; they are
composed of the finest powdered Will
low charcoal and other harmless anti
septics 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 COM
pleXion, 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.
A Buffalo physician in speaking Of
the benefits Of charcoal. says: II adj
wise Stuarts 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 patent preparation. yet I
believe I get more and better charcoal
in Stuart's Charcoal LozehgAs than in
any of the ordinary charcoal tablets"

MRS. STANFORD'S DEATH
Was Without Doubt Caused by Strych.
nine-Reiterated Statements.

Honolulu. March 17.-Edmund Shorey,
chemist of the United States agricultural
station. and Drs. Wood, Murray and
Humphreys. have signed a statement re-
plying to Pres. Jordan and Timothy Hop
klns. who recently announced their con
illusions that the death of Mrs Stanford
was due to natural causes. They charac-
terize the statement of these gentlemen
as astonishing and reiterate their finding
that Strychnine was the cause of death
They say that the publication OF the Jor-
dam Hopkins opinion makes it incumbent
upon them to reply and they give the fol-
lowing reasons why the death must have
resulted from Strychnine poisoning:
Mrs. Stanford died during a character
istic shrychnine convulsion, which was
seen by Drs. Humphreys and Murray.
"A post mortem rigidity. identical with
that peculiar to cases of that class of
poisoning.
THE post mortem revealed no other
cause of death from any affection of the
stomach or intestines. They contained no
undigested food and were in a healthy
condition.
The post norton in every respect gives
the evidences of authenticated cases of
strychnine poisoning and these combined
with the fact that strychnine was found
in the bicarbonate OF soda which was
used by the deceased furnish a chain OF
evidence that will withstand the fiercest
assaults"
