gresham Pine Guerra who is charged

following of over fifty men and it is
said that other friends Of the congress-
man, former officers of the revolution
airy army have similar followings.
General Rodriguez, commander of the
rural guards, informed the Associated
Press that there is absolutely nothing
con6rmatory in these rumors, and show
ed the correspondent the replies received
by telegraphic inquiries MADE to the
commanding officers in Pinar Del Rio,
all of whom denied that anything had
occurred beyond what already had been
reported and stated that the country
between san Juan de Martinez and
Guanes where the insurgents are report
ed to be is all open. consisting of to-
bacco fields. All the officers of the rural
guards discredit the report that Con-
gresham Guerra has any considerable
following. In the entire province Of
Pinar Del Rio there are present about
400 rural guards.

vana in connection with the finding of
arms at Cerro, a suburb of Havana is

THEVALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful 1t 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 TIE 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 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 enainently safe cathartic.
It absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; 1t
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 Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they
are COMPOSED of the finest powdered
willow charcoal, and other harmless
antfseptics in tablet form or rather in
the form of large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed

tion of the general health, better COM

blood, and the beauty of it is, that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use. but on the contrary,

A Buffalo physician in speaking of
the benefits of charcoal says: 81 ad-
wise Stuartss Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas In stomach
and bowels, and to clear the complex

JAPS CAPTURE MOUNTAIN
After Desperate Fighting and Heavy
Losses Mikado's Men FINALLY
Possess RlhIung Fort.

Advices from Japanese headquar-
ters at Port Arthur state that Rihlung
Fort was captured at three o'clock
Thursday morning with thousand
Japanese casualties.
Seven dynamite mines exploded at
ten o'clock Wednesday and made
breaches in the front wall, through
which a large body Of Japanese troops
charged under cover of a tremendous
bombardment and captured the first
line Of light guns. A bitter fight re-
suited in the capture Of the fort.
The garrison, numbering five hun
dred, escaped.
Rihlung fort, situated on Rihlung
mountain, formed part Of the inner
circle of the chain Of forts defend
ing Port Arthur. Rihlung is situa-
ted about two miles from the out
skirts Of the town Of Port Arthur from
which it bears due northeast. The
fort just captured is a mile and
half southeast of Keekwan fort, re-
Gently captured by the Japanese. The
possession of these two forts should
make a most important breach in the
Notifications of Port Arthur and cut
off communication between the Gold
en- Hill forts and the forts Of the
western section of tho inner circle
of Notifications.
From Rihlung mountain, which is
nearly opposite 203-Metre Hill, it
would appear that the japanese fire
will be able to reach anything in the
harbor and town which the Japanese
heavy guns on 203-Metre Hill are I'M
able to hit, thus making it apparently
impossible for the Russian second Pa
cific squadron to make any use OF
Port Arthur even should the Japan
ese content themselves with holding
the strong position they now occupy,

MONEY STOLEN FROM TRUNKS.

$1,400 was stolen from prominent
citizen of AbbevilIe, Ga, few days
ago. He had collected the money, and
instead of putting the same in bank,
ne carried it home and put it in his
trunk. The hinges were taken off
his trunk while he was up town and
the money was stolen.
A merchant in our town had $175,
which he intended paying out on Mon
day morning. On Saturday night he
left the money in his trgnk and ran to
the warehouse to help saya a bale of
cotton that was burning. Some one
picked the lock and when he returned
the money was gone and has never
been recovered.
SO many people in the country make
this same fearful mistake
The safest and most reliable place
to keep your money is to deposit the

tor North, of the census bureau adj
mitted having received a telegram
from the Memphis cotton exchange,
stating that many ginners in that dis
trict denied having made reports as
to the amount Of cotton ginned from
November II to December 10. He has
replied as follows:
Where information was refused in
Shelby county, the November returns
were brought forward for December
without estimates. Comparatively
few instances were noted throughout
the belt where correct information
was not available"
In discussing the matter, Director
North said that for some unexplained
reason a number of ginners refused
to furnish information regarding the
amount Of cotton ginned during the
period stated, and that following the
custom Of the bureau under such cir
cumstances, the returns for the pre-
ceding period were brought forward
without estimates.
