A Newspaper Contradiction.

Apropos of newspaper denials and
contradictions, Senator German said
the other day:
when an editor has printed an I'M
true story, he should be willing to re-
tract it. Some editors, though-be-
nighted. stupid fellows-will print no
denials unless the untruths they have
uttered have been libelous. If they
have not been libeIous, the editors re-
fuse to make denial They pretend to
believe that their stories have been
true, after ALL
They are pigheaded as the Arkan-
sas editor who issued an obituary Of
the leading citizens of his town. When
the leading citizen called at the Office
the next morning and requested that
the report of his death be denied. the
editor refused to accommodate him.
g We are never wrong here he said
in a lordly way. We never print de-
malls or retractions in our sheet
But the leading citizen protested and
protested, and finally the editor said:
=" No use talking. sir, we can't deny
your death. The best we can do fol
you is to put you in tomorrow's list o.
births. Los Angeles Times

EMPLOYERS TOORGANIZE
League Including Topeka and other
Western Cities.

st. Joseph, No, June pa league of
employers associations including StJo-
seph, Kansas City, Omaha, Leaven-
worth, Council Bluffs, Topeka, Atchison,
Sedalia and other cities, is being organ
lied by Frank A. Olden, president Of
the association in this city. He has
been working on the plan for a year,
and it Is expected that 1t viii take
definite form within a week or two.
TT is planned through this league to
keep check upon the strike element
in each city. The unions have a card
system, and when a man goes to a
place to work he is required to show
his card.
IF he has no card showing that he
is in good standing with his union the
members of organized labor will not al
low him to work where they are en-
ployed," said a member of the local
association.
When this league is formed the en-
ployers will also have a card system,
only 1t viii be exactly the reverse of
the unions system. When a man ap-
plies for work he will be required to
show card from his last employer.
If he has been a. disturber or Incl
ter of strikes the card win indicate as
much and he will be unable to obtain
employment from any member of the
league"
Another purpose of the league is to
render assistance to any member of
the employers association when a
strike is on.

MORE LAND FRAUDS.
Arrest Of B. H. TaTmadge Of Chicago
at Roswell, N. NJ.

Roswell, N. NJ, June 2s.-What is
declared to be parallel to the land
fraud prosecutions in Oregon and
Montana has been started here by the
arrest of Benjamin H. Tallmadge of
Chicago of the c. T. Tallmadge South
western Land company, on the charge
of subornation of perjury. Tall
madge was taken before United States
Land Commissioner Karl Snyder and
gave i've thousand dollars bond for
his appearance.
The warrant was issued by Commits
sioner Snyder. upon complaint of Gros-
venor Clarkson, special agent for the
government who has been working in
this district several months.
1t is reliably reported that this IS
merely the first of many prosecutions
that are to be brought for alleged fraud
in land entries and deals in this part of
New Mexico. 1t is further stated that
thousands of acres of land in the rich
artesian belt of New Mexico, the most
valuable land in the territory, have been
secured through fraudulent desert en-
tries. This land. unimproved. sells at
from twenty to thirty dollars an acre.
All of these cases are under investiga-
ton.
Mr.. Tallmadge declares that all of fis
deals have been according to law and
that 1t will be so proven.

TO TALK or CREarAToRY.
Proposed Contract May Be Killed by

1t is likely that the streets and

meeting soon to consider the crema-

decision made by the committee Mon
day night to defer action until the re-
turn of Councilman Griley from the

It was understood that GriIey would
return in very few days, but the

that the senior councilman from the
Second ward won't return until the

TIE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful It I
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 it's 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 al ways present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
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 eminently safe cathartic. ~
It 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 Stuart Is Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed Of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal, and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form or rather
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with
honey. -, -.," r..
The; daily use Of these Lozenges will
soon tell in much improved condition
of the general health, better complex
ion, sweeter breath and purer blood,
and the beauty Of it is that no pos
sible harm can result from their con-
tinued use, but on the contrary, great
benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking Of
the benefits Of charcoal says: ~ ad.
wise Stuart g 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; also believe the liver is great

they cost but 25 cents box at drug
stores, and although in some sense q
patent preparation, yet I believe /
