tricacies OF. some new plays devised es-
pccially for the Minnesota game. DIR. VIII
liams, the Minnesota coach, had two repre-
sentatves at the Nebraska Colorado con-
test last week to report as to the Corn
huskers style. and It is imperative that
the proteges OF Booth should be able to
spring something new. The rehearsal OF
a few tricks is believed to have been a
part of the program by which II is hoped
that some striped-hosed Cornhusker may
make tracks across the Gopher goal.
only one of the regular players on the
varsity lineup at Nebraska is In such
physical condition as to occasion any doubt

gives splendid promise of developing into

wienstrand and Burns was one OF the
necessities resulting from the enforcement

MILLS WANTS MORE MEN
Chief of ARTILLERY Not Satisfied with Son
dition Of Coast Defense
DlsuKIs THE COMPANY ORGANIZATION
would Have the Field ARTILLERY
Organized on the Basis of
six Batteries to
Regiment.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 15.-General Samuel
NJ. Mills, chief of artillery says that for
manning the coast defenses of the United
States a force consisting Of LIZA officers
and 41S33 enlisted men is needed, while
the corps has at present only 525 officers
and 1874 men. He also estimated that the
installation of fire control equipment for
coast artillery will be s7.OO0OOO. Following
the advice contained in a letter of Presi-
dent Roosevelt to the secretary of war,
dated March IS. 1905, in which the presi-
dent designated nine specific subjects rela-
tive to the organization and training of the
artillery arm Of the service, the annual
report OF General Mills makes the follow
ing nine recommendations
The separation of the coast and field ar
tillery; provision for submarine mine de-
Tense; an increase of the coast artillery
Of the coast artillery adeqSate pS4
for technically skilled enlisted men
Of o th5ss artillery an increase Of
of the field artillerys examination for pro-
motion Of artillery officers Of all grades:
increased appropriations for target practice
by both branches OF the artillery.
Officers Are Absent.
General Mills says that of the 12s COM
panies OF coast artillery, forty-seven are
without captains and thirty-one without
the prescribed two leutenants. These ON
GERS are absent on various duties. He says
that It is important that the coast artillery
companies should be commanded by cap
tairs.
General Mills refers TO the joint exer-
cises of the army and navy which were
held in Chesapeake bay last summer and
says that the value and interest was greatly
increased by reason OF the fact that they
gave an opportunity to test the methods of
fire control and other systems adopted by
the coast artillery. He recommends that
| joint exercises be recommended for the
year 1907, because such exercises afford
the only opportunity that the artillery has
! for drilling and practicing with complete
| units" higher than a battery The joint
exercises, he says, emphasized the inappro-
| priateness OF the present company organ
ization of the coast artillery, and he rec
ommends that the present company organ
| ization be abolished and that the present
| coast artillery be made to consist of speci-
| fed officers and enlisted men. He also
| recommends the separation of the field ar
tillery from the coast artillery and that
| the field artillery be organized in regiments
| OF six batteries each, with an increase Of
eighteen in the present number Of field
| batteries.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL,
Few People Know How Useful IL f.
In PRESERVING Health and Beauty.


Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is
the safest and most efficient dislnfeotant
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; II IL not a drug at
all but simply absorbs the gases and i'm
purities always present in the stomach and
intestines and carries them out OF the
| system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok-
| ing. drinking or after eating onions and
other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
| the complexion, 1t whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartic
It absorbs the Injurious gases which col
| lect in the stomach and bowels; 1t disln-
| fects 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 Stuart's
| Charcoal 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
| tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed
| 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
IL 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 advise
stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients
suffering from gas in the 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
% cents a box at drug stores. and although
in some sense patent preparation. yet ]
believe l get more and better charcoal in
stuarts Charcoal Lozenges than In any OF
tho ordinary charcoal tablets"

SOUTH OMAHA. Nov. ITO the Editor
OF The Bee: Dear Sir-1n looking over
your detailed list OF votes cast for the va
rious candidates at the recent election, 7
find quite variance in the number OF
votes cast for each set OF candidates. for
which ! am unable to account. Tho total
votes range from 12.23S for register Of
deeds to 1890 for surveyor In Omaha.
Under the old system OF voting by ballot,
one may easily see, how. through the de-
fective marking or indifference Of the
voters one set of candidates might run
far behind another set running for another
office; as It required a positive act to vote
for candidate and negative act TO vote
against one Under the machine method,
however, the reverse is the case, which
requires a positive act to vote against n
candidate and negative one Cafter the
party lever is drawn TO vote for him
The only explanation which occurs to
my mind is that voters fail to pair can
didate whom they have scratched. thereby
exercising merely one-half their voting
power. Could you suggest any other ex-

As the matter stands and mas stood for
several years, IL is pointed out the county
has been handicapped in making contracts
by the fact that mercantile houses and
other firms doing business with the county
have been compelled TO wait many months
for their pay. Their warrants have been
paid with interest, however, when the tax
levy became available. and the county
legislature has been able to worry along
under the system. Now. it is maintained.
IL II is held down to strict compliance
with the laws governing the expenditure
OF county funds, the board will be up
against a problem that WILL obviously, re-
quire some very fine figuring.
One man who has made something of a
study of the matter, said
1.-The legislature is the only body which
can give relief as It has caused the in
curing of much of the expense. AS an
instance, take the juvenile court The
legislature imposed that additional ex-
pense on the county without making any
provision for increasing the levy to get
funds. The probation officers draw about
/ $3.50 a month, and there is the detention
home, besides Together these two items
will cost the county anywhere from $3.50
! to $4,000 a year. and as the work develops
the expense grows in proportion. While

been disengaged since appointment, and at
that. I understand have been kept on the
jump. So far as l can see. the only relief
for the present muddled and unsatsfac-
tory condition Of affairs will be to appeal
to the legislature for additional legislation,
either to increase the general fund levy or
to cut expenses, IL that can be done"

In the offices of the county auditor ana
county clerk it is learned that the situation
at present is practically this:
The levy of 1906 for the general fund, on
the basis of mills, the limit fixed by law,
will produce s26S,OOO Warrants have been
issued against this-on the usual plan OF
drawing against IS per cent of the levy
at once-to the amount of about $l9S'OOO
Thus only $4,000 would still be available
from the 1906 levy for current expenses
Accommodations will, it is figured, bring
this amount up to 100000. 1t costs In
round numbers $4,000 a month to run
Douglas county and only four months OF
the year are gone. On this basis hve
months will have exhausted all the avail
able funds for county purposes.
Lawyers besides Mr.. Ware who have
given off-hand opinions to members of the
county board and others interested say
the warrants already issued against the
1905 levy, and which are all for expenses
incurred for work done in previous years.
