The Brethren

SCUBA laid herself down about fifteen
PAGES away under q cedar tree, which
grew almost In front Of the mouth Of
the cave. and slept. being tired with
long riding. Wulf slept also. since God
win had agreed to keep watch for the
first part of the night.
For an hour or more he sat close by
the horses and noted that they fed I'M
easily and would not lie down. Soon,
however, he was lost in his own

strangeness of sheir journey. He Won

stopped to look ct it and wondered that
he ha.E never nated before how pea uti-

Goodwin turned aside. Tt seemed not
right to watch her thus, although in
truth he had only come to know that
she was safe. He went. back to the
fire and. lifting cedar bough, which
blazed like a torch in his left hand,
was about to lay it down again on the

heard the sharp and terrible cry of a
woman in an agony of pain o. fear.

Reports of County Commissioners.

The report of work done by tax com- missioners of forty-five counties embraced is in this annual report.
 No friction exists anywhere Of course there are always dsgruntled tax dodgers who inveigh against the law and would be glad to have il repealed. It is a good law and should be upheld and encouraged.
 The state tax commissioners should be allowed a clerk, say at $50 per month, or so much of this amount as may be necessary. For three months in the year there is no necessity for clerical assist ance, but at other times the work can not be expeditiously done without as sistance.
 The state tax commissioner ought at times to visit certain counties and ap- pear before courts of county commission CTS. He cannot leave his office with out some one at least to open and ac- knowledge cores pondence. Hence neces- l sity of some clerical help.
 I have never endeavored to bring values up to the full legal basis, have pursued "a give and take policy My policy has been to get every piece of property on fair and equitable legel, treating all alike, the rich and the poor--lndviduals and corporation. I think the good results shown in my several reports demonstrates the wisdom of this policy.
 In considering the work of this depart ment. 1t should be borne in mind that the county tax commissioners are simply 'gleaners' after the harvest, following the regular assessors, and the general result should be taken a sso much picked up" which otherwise would never have been puaced in the state treasury with out the operations of the law. This law should be administered in z.. Af fa fn Zn taxation. The most persistent effort to secure a tax commissioner in cer tain counties has been unsuccessful. In the smaller counties the compensation would not be commensurate with the work done, therefore recommend that section l, tax commission be so amended as to author ize the appointment of district tax com missioners" in order that every county may come under the operation of thls law. Respectfully submitted

INDIAN PLEADS FOR
 HOMESTEAD RIGHT
HAS IMPROVED HIS FARM AND NOW IT IS TO BE TAKEN AWAY FROM HIM BY THE CURTIS ACT. DUNCAN TELLS EXPERIENCE

Vinitia, l. T.. November 1l-D. W. C. Duncan a fullblood Cherokee Indian, graduate of Dartmouth made dramatic plea today to the Senate Indian affairs committee for removal of restrictions of all kinds from the lands of Cherokee Indians. He said his fullblood brethren would fight allotment to the death. Mir. Duncan told his own experience.
 He had devoted most of his life to the improvement of 900 acre farm near Vinita, to be in comfort in his old age. Under the allotment provisions the per capita money value of his headright was s325. This enabled him to take only SC acres of the kind of land of which his farm was composed. He was not per- mitted to buy the remaining portion of his farm and other Cherokee chiefs took 1t, even the corn that stood ripening in the fields, The members of the commit- tee were deeply impressed with the state- ments of MT. Duncan. Senator Teller told Duncan that years ago he foresaw what wosld happen under the Curtis bill and that he had opposed the allotments of lands in Indian Territory.
 "It was my preference" said Senator Teller, "that the Indians should be per- mitted to work out their own civiliza- ton under the conditions of the old treaty. The Indian has been hurt more by his misguided friends than by his avowed enemies" The senators today discussed means of keeping the enormous oi gas and coal deposits of the territory from falling into the hands of great syndicates

At mid night the negro was reported at bay in the Baltimore estate, and officers and a large number of others hurried there to capture the negro Reports received here early in the evening from Alexander that a negro filing the description of Harris had been captured, led to the sending of a large posse to that place with the in- tention of bringing him back. Later it developed that he had only been seen in the vicinity

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is In
 Preserving Health and Beauty.
Costs Nothing to Try.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is the safest and most efficient dlsin- festant and purifier in nature, but few realize its value when taken into the hu- man system for the same cleansing pur- pose.
 Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of 1t 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 or the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and im- proves the complexion. 1t whitens the teeth and further acts as natural and eminently safe cathartic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; 1t dis infects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best char coal 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 iozenges will soon tell in a much improved condiuon of the general health, better complexion. 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

Inuuirers Are at Loss to Account for His Prolonged Delay at
 Battle Harbor.

Halifax, N. s.. November 4.-Inquiries by wire sent to different points elicits no new information as to the present whereabouts of Commander Pearys Are tic steamer Roosevelt. and it Is impossi- ble to tell definitely whether the steamer has yet left Battle Harbor, Labrador, as the nearest telegraph office is at Chateau Bay, and at this late day com munication by fishing boats between the two places is practically suspended for the winter.
 So far as known, the storms which have lately swept over the gulf did not extent to Labrador. and 1t Is difficult to account for the detention at Battle Har- bor. If the steamer is still at that point. unless he was compelled to remain there to make repairs of damage reported to have been sustained in the far north.

PLATES AGREES TO
 LIVE SEPARATE
A STATEMENT IS ISSUED TO THE EFFECT THAT SCANDAlOUS STORIES RECENTLY CIRCU- LATED ARE FALSE.

New York, November 14.--Senator Thomas C. Platt and his wife. formerly Miss Lillian T. Janeway. have agreed to separate. The law firm of Marsh, Win stow and Weaver, acting for Mrs. Platt, made the announcement yesterday. The deed was signed by both, but not in the presence of each other, and it is as fol- lows:
 owing 10 unhappy differences between them, the under signed have this day exc cuted a deed of separation. While mak- ing such announcement we wish to as- sert with all possible emphasis the falsity of the scandalous articles. which have lately appeared In the public prints. While there have been series of differences and disputes which seem to make sep aration advisable, there has been no con- duct upon the part of either which could possibly be the foundation of divorce &C., the other has ever been raised. State ments, which have charged violent and disgraceful scenes between us are abso- lyutely false.
 "T. c. PLATT,
 LILLIAN T. PLATT.'
 Mrs. Platt is at the Tioga Lodge ID Highland Hills, and Senator Platt is stay ing at his apartments in this city. So feeble is he that he retired early to- night, and no one was allowed to ses him. Besides the formal announcement of separation made through Mrs Platt' s counsel, no member of the Platt family would make any comment on the agree ment. What provisions had been made by the Senator for his wifes future sup port could not be learned tonight. but 1t is thought that Mrs. Platt will have the use of the estate at Highland Hills, and that she will receive an allowance from her husband. The public knowledge of the difficulties existing between Senator Platt and his wife began more than two months ago, when the statement was made that Mrs. Platt had sued for d. voice These stories were repeatedly de- nied, but recurred SO often as to make certain the fact that grave difficulties did exist
