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 the 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 a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels: il
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 Loze nges; tn ey

willow charcoal and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form or rather in

STRIKE HAS BEEN AvERTED.
Trouble Between Engineers and Fire
men and X. c. Southern Settled.

Kansas City. No, Jan. 13.=After a
series Of conferences the trouble be-
tween the Kansas City Southern rail-
road and the Brotherhoods of Loco
motive Engineers and Firemen was
settled yesterday at a meeting held at
the office of J. A. Edison, president of
the Southern road. The controversy
was the outcome of the discharge on
August 2 of two engineers and two
f1remen for refusing to run their en-
gines into the fever infested district of
Louisiana. The decision resulted in
compromise. The railroad agreed to
reinstate the four men with the con-
ditfon that the men are to receive no
pay for the time that they have been
out of the employ of the road.
J. J. Hanrahan, president of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive F'iremen,
and n. J. Cadle assistant chief en-
gfneer of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers, were present at the
conference representing the interests
of the men. Mr.. Hanrahan had
threatened to call out all of his men if
satisfactory agreement was not
rea cEed.
'I am glad that the matter has been
adjusted" said Mr.. Edison last even
ing There is absolutely no danger of
any strike resulting from the trouble"

N THE ORPHAN ASYLUM.
Diphtheria Appears in st. Vincent's
Near LeaNenNEorth

lADElAHGIId appears III 81 AAACCAAA
Near LeavenWOrth.
Leavenworth, Kan. Jan. 13.-The
St. Vincent's orphan asylum. south Of
the city, has been placed under quar-
antine on account of six cases Of diph-
iberia that have appeared there.
Physicians from this city visited the
institution yesterday and injected anti
toxin profusely and after thoroughly
fumigating the place they quaran-
tined it.
There are ninety-six children in this
institution and an infectious disease
should it Increase would create havoc;
but the doctors think that they have
forestalled the malady in time to pre-
vent this.
The origin of this epidemic was dis
covered without difficulty as two
small girls received there recently
from Kansas City, Kan, were the first
to succumb.
Two cases of smallpox appeared in
widely separated parts of the city yes
terday. Wednesday the quarantine
was removed from the last of the sew
eral cases that were reported late last
month and as no cases appeared while
these we're under quarantine 1t was
supposed that the pest would not ap-
pear here again this winter but it
persists in returning as diphtheria has.

SEIZED 900 QUAIL
Shipment of Ten COOps Delayed
at LaWtOn.
Territorial Game Warden Says
Deal Was Unlawful.
INTENDED FORWICHITA
Charles Payne Bought Birds for
Breeding Purposes.
Indian Who Captured the
Fheasants Sues Wardens.
INTENDED FORWICHITA

Wichita, Kan, Jan. 18.-The Beacon
says.
Charles Payne. the bird and animal
dealer Of this city. is very much disap-
pointed over the seizure Of a large
number Of live quails at Lawton,
Okla. which We're intended for him
These quails had been captured by
Henry Ireton, an Indian, and were
consigned by him to Mr. Payne but
were seized by the territory game war
dens on the ground that the shipment
was unlawful There were ten coops
containing 611 live birds. and were in
tended for breeding purposes
Ireton made an affidavit to that eff
feet. but it seems that he was not be
liexed by the game wardens. who took
the birds IretOn has sued them for
$500 damages.
Mr. Payne had engaged Ireton to
supply him with the birds, which he
declares We're only for breeding pur-
poses. and that such shipments are
net Illegal He still expects that the
birds viii be shipped to him later on.
The territorial auth critics have
Illsconstrued the law" said Mr..
Payne today. ct think they will dis
cover their mistake and let the
quaiis be shipped. The Lacey law
passed by congress provides for the
shipment of live birds and animals for
breeding purposes, but unfortunately
congress made no appropriation to
enable the agricultural department to
do anything IN this line The depart
ment has In the past given me what
assistance it could in such cases and
think the Oklahoma people when they
hear from headquarters will find that
everything is all right"
A good many of the birds that were
seized had been disposed of in ad-
vance to people in various parts Of
the country for breeding purposes and
the failure of Mr.. Payne to get them
Will result in pecuniary loss to him
and prominent to those to whom
he had sold them.
Mr. Payne has just sold to W. D
Travis state game warden of Kansas,
three dozen Monaghan pheasants to be
distributed at suitable points in Kan
sas for breeding purposes.

president Of the Northern Securities com
pany, has issued to the stockholders a
statement of the operations of the COM

the present Northern Securities com
pany owns stocks which were acquired

nature of the stockholdings. The COM
pany has cash in its treasury amount
ing to s420. 768. The capital stock is
quoted at present at from $3.50 to $275
a share. Thus the market value would
be several times that of the par value.
This capital stock represents 1 per cent

many suits instituted to bring about a
dissolution of the merger Of Great
