THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is In
Preserving Health and Beauty.
Costs Nothing to Try.


Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
ID the safest and most efficient disin-
festant and purifier in nature, but lew
realize its value when taken into the hui
man system for the same cleansing pur-
pose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it is not 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 a natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it dis
nfects 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 antisepues
in tablet FORM or rather in the form of
large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the
charcoal being mixed with honey

HADLEY ON THE HEPBURN BILL
President of Yale Not Much Pleased
With Measure

The Evening Transcript of Boston
publishes an article by President Ar
thur T. Hadley of Yale University on
the present status of the rate regula-
ton contest in Washington. DR.. Had
ley argues that the proposition of the
Hepburn bill to axe the decisiomns of
the interstate commerce commission
final in all questions of fact is illegal
and lmpracticable. He declares that
a similar plan tried in England in the
seventies did not work and was finally
repealed. He declares that the com
mon law gives the shipper more pro-
lection than statutes, as was shown in
the Chesapeake & Ohio coal case re-
Gently decided by the supreme court.
Yet, in spite of these considerations.
President Hadley expresses the belief
that the passage of the Hepburn bill
would be better than any compromise
thus far suggested. He says in part:
In the fist place, if the railroad men
attempt to have the bill modified it
Will be regarded as selfish effort to
block the wheels of legislation for
their own private interest. This is
always blunder. From the stand
point of railroad management alone
the good from preventing the passage
OF the Hepburn bill would not be near
ly as great as the harm which would
come from assuming an attitude of
factious opposition. The Hepburn bill
will not greatly hurt the railroads. If
anybody is much harmed by ilIusory
attempts to limit rights of appeal it
will be the shippers. Should the Hen
burn bill be passed in substantially
the form in which it comes from the
house of representatives there is a
fair chance that after few wears of
unsatisfactory operation it may be re-
pealed. But if compromise measure
is adopted the people will know who
Is responsible for the failure. Each
party will place the blame uDon tho
other. Ten years hence we shall SOC
that we have accomplished notbino
but we shall be totally unable to tell
whose fault it is"

American Mission DESTROYED

Consul General Rodgers, at Shang-
hal, cabled the state department that
the American mission stations at Nan
chang, in the province Of Kiangei
have been DESTROYED. The probable
cause is local. Thelegrams received
from those points state that the four
teen American missionaries at those
places escaped, but the bingham fam
ily English, two adults and two chill
dren, are reported to have been
killed. The American gunboat Ell
Cano, at Nankin, has been ordered to
proceed Immediately to Kinkiang. The
scene of the trouble IS about 400 miles
up the Yangtse river.

cedented honor and throws a curious
light on the status of the aggressive
southerner in view of his recent bitter
attack on the president. Those who
voted for him were Aldrich, Kean,
Crane, Foraker and McLaurin. The
duty now devolves upon Senator Till
man of carrying forward in the senate
President Roosevelts policy relative
to rate regulation. 1t was certainly
not the purpose of the republican SEN
ators, who by a vote of five to three
selected Senator Tillman for this
honor, to emphasize the fact that the
policy of rate regulation is a demo-
cratic policy.

testimony and to submit formal re-
port on the bill. He said that within
two weeks he should move to make
the bill the unfinished business and
to displace the statehood bill, if that
measure was not disposed of by that
time. The Importance of the rate
measure and the wide interest in the
subject throughout the country, he
said, made it desirable that the bill
should be considered without delay.
AS soon as he had concluded Mr.
Aldrich was recognized, and said:
A majority of the republican mem
bers of the committee did not join
in the favorable report which has just
been made by the senator from South
Carolina, for the reason that in their
judgment an attempt should be made
by the committee to remedy, by proper
amendments, some of the obvious and
admitted defects and omissions of the
house bill, and that clear and ade-
quate provisions should have been
made for subjecting the orders of the
commission affecting rates to judicial
review. They believe that these
amendments were not only necessary
to protect the rights of all the parties
in interest, but that they were essen
tial to the vitality and efficiency of
the measure. With these amendments
the minority members, with the ex-
ception of the senator from Ohio, who
is opposed to all government rate
making, were ready to give their sup
mort IN tha h011ca hill
Coal and Oil Inquiry
Preceded by a debate which indi-
Gated relish in taking action against
railroad combinations the house agreed
without opposition to the Tillman-
Gillespie resolution directing the inter-
state commerce commission to make
immediate inquiry and report regard
ing alleged restraints Of trade on the
part of certain railroads in the han
ding of coal and oil, particularly the
control by the Pennsylvania railroad
of the coal production.
Senator Knox introduced his inter-
state commerce bill. 1t broadens the
house bill and contains a provision for
review by the courts of the orders of
the interstate commerce commission.
The outlook for the ship subsidy bill
is not bright. There is strong oppo-
sitiOn to it in the house On the score
Of economy, and the advocates of the
measure will have to do mighty good
job of persuading before they win
over to their support some men in
high position.
If the pending efforts in the Ger
man reichstag are successful in abat-
ing the new German tariff against
American products for period of one
year there will be no minimum and
maximum tariff bill at this session.
In that event it is expected that there
will be no tariff discussion at all, save
a scattering of speeches here and there
for use in the congressional campaign.
New "Force" Bill
An effort will be made to revive
the bill reducing the representation in
congress of states that deny the right
of suffrage to voters. A movement is
now afoot to agitate the question, but
it is doubtful if it will be successful.

he was admitted to the Iowa bar. The
next year he located in Kearney, Neb.,
where he became successful lawyer
in spite of the "hard times" which
succeeded the boom days. Always an
eloquent speaker, he did much stump
work for many years. Though defeat
ed in the race for congressman from
the Sixth district in 1898 he put up a
stiff fight in the hopelessly fusion dis
trict and had the satisfaction of caus-
ing his opponent to fall far behind the
usual majority. Mr.. Brown was for
two years county attorney of Buffalo
county. In 1890 he was made deputy
under Attorney General Prout and
four years later was elected to the post
of attorney general.

An Unexpected Honor

Senator Tillman said that one of the
most essential amendments he should
endeavor to procure looks to "the alb
solute divorce of public carriers, as
such, from the production of coal, as
miners, which condition of monopoly
had created such strong feeling of
dissatisfaction and anger in the btu
minous and anthracite coal regions. "
He had already drafted an amend
ment covering this point.

TilIman's Popularity

BY some the selection is considered
straw which indicates which way the
wind blows whenever the senate sup
porters of the railways think of the
president On the other hand the
more highly esteemed by his repub-
lican colleagues III Washington than
by republicans throughout the country.
The cutting and even savage criti-
cisms which go the rounds of the
press after Senator Tillman has de-
livered one of his characteristic
speeches are always regarded with
wonder by Senator Tillman's friends
on both sides of the senate. His
personal popularity is never impaired
even by his most injudicious remarks.
He is always ready with explanations
when he has gone too far and there
is something amusing and even pa
thetic in the regret he expresses
after the heat of debate has passed.
TiIIman's Plans
1T was an unexpected and in one
sense an undesired honor and respon-
sibility that was thrust upon me-"
said Senator Tillman in speaking of
his selection to report the bill. Gas
far as | am able, will endeavor to
secure the passage of the bill through
the senate with such amendments as
will make it more acceptable to the
business interests of the country and
remedy the evils which have caused
such widespread criticism. The policy
is essentially democratic. The pro-
posed bill had the unanimous support
of the democrats of the house, and /
hope that, with a few slight amend
ments, it will get the same support in
the senate"

Bill Reported

The Hepburn railroad rate bill was
reported to the senate on Monday by
Senator Tillman in accordance with
the action of the senate committee on
Interstate commerce last Friday.
Large crowds assembled in the gal
leries, anticipating a field day of de-
bate, but were disappointed. There
was little of interest in the proceed
ings regarding the bill. A brief state
ment from Mr.. Tillman, with the nee
essary arrangement for printing the
report of the hearings before the COM
mittee and promise that formal re-
port would be made later, was followed
by remarks from Mr. Aldrich, showing
the position of the five republicans
who opposed the bill as reported.
Mr. Aldrich indicated that there would
be no unnecessary delay, but that the
bill would be discussed in accordance
with its Importance
Mr.. Clapp called up the bill to dis
pose of the affairs of the five civilized
tribes in Indian territory and the
preliminary discussion showed that
there was considerable opposition,
also that there was to be criticism of
the disposition of the coal lands owned
by the Indians.
Mr.. Tillman announced that as soon
as possible he proposed to digest the
