THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Usefm 1t Is in Pre-
serving Health and Beauty.
Costs Nothing to Try.


Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
dfsinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take OF ii the better 1t is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and intestines and car
gies them out Of the system.
y Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other Odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion; Ii whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.

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
antiseptics in tablet form or, rather,
in the form OF large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed

MEXICAN CENTRAL
CHANGES HANDS.

Ell PASO, Nov. 10.--It was reported
here today on reliable authority that
the Mexican Central railroad had been
purchased by the Chicago, Rock Island
and Pacific and was now part OF the
Rock Islands system. A connecting
line will be built from Brownwood to
El Paso. to be used by the Rock Island
in place of the Ell Paso and southwest
ern tracks in entering Ell Paso.
This is said to be the important an
nouncement which President Robinson
stated IN Mexico City would be made
within a week The information Is de-
rived from Mexican and American
sources.
The Mexican Central Is the most I'M
portant line in the republic OF Mexico,
and is the only road in Mexico that Is
not largely owned by the Government
At present the Rock Island enters Ell
Paso via Santa Rosa over the FL Paso
and Northeastern. part OF the Ill Paso
and Southwestern system.
Colonel J.. L. Bell. who built the Ell
Paso and Northeastern. who has been
here for some time, says that ne is here
for the purpose of constructing an I'm
portant line of railroad from FL Paso to
the northeast. which is understood to
be the connecting line between the
Rock Island and it's new property, the
Mexican Central. This will either be
from Brownsville or Amarillo.

no say in the detailing of policemen to
do Grand Jury work. 1t has been the
custom to draw on the department for
the performance of ministerial func
tions, but this year, ii is understood, a
plan was afoot to have a deputy sheriff
or two handle the subpenas The crafty
hand of Ruef was seen in it all, and
the District Attorneys Office has been
on the alert.
District Attorney Langdon is said to
have picked out three men from the Po-
lice Department whom he knows per-
sonally to be trustworthy and who ex-
press no fear of any punishment that
George Boyne or any other factor of
the administration might try to mete
out at some future time. Under au-
thority of the Grand Jury the requi-
sition for these men or any of them
cannot be refused. Langdon and Heney
are determined that there shall be no
treachery in their working force and
they are in fair way to succeed in
their purpose.

cautions is more than apparent Abe

energy of desperation. Every possible
avenue of influence is being searched
out. Not only is it desired to have
the jurors vote against indictments,
but it is of the utmost Importance to
know what is taking place in the
Grand. Jury room.
Former Grand Juries that had not
been in the care of such alert hands
were often defeated in their purpose by
betrayal of confidence on the part of
subpoena servers. But with Heney and
Burns managing affairs it is not prob
able that Ruef will have any opportu-
nifty of treating with witnesses before
they appear in the jury room.
District Attorney Langdon, Assist
ant Heney. and Hiram w. Johnson, who
has been engaged to assist in the
prosecution in the trial courts, were
in conference last night on the law
side of the cases that are to be pre-
sented this week. They went care
fully over evidence that had been gath
cred and deliberated on what accusa-
tions should be. Extortion and brib-
cry will constitute the charges in the
majority of cases.

ciocs circumstances regarding the vot-
ing machines used at Tuesdays cleo

4eney Successfully Combating Powerful Influences
Exerted to Save Abe Ruef From Tolls Of the Law

OF the Sheriff the Coroner is designated
by law to assume his duties. To tie
the hands Of O'Neil alone would serve
no purpose. for Walsh. who as well
holds Office through the grace Of Ruef,
would be equally undesirable. But
with his usual thoroughness Agent
Burns has gathered together evidence
that viii unquestionably disqualify
both officials. When the facts are
presented to Judge Graham the Grand
jury viii be in a position to designate
for itself to whom it will intrust the
duty Of haling the witnesses before it,
, An elisor viii also be appointed to
summon jurors and subpoena witnesses
5p the trial court.
The participation of o'Neil in the
public meetings that the administra-
tion men have been holding to make
demonstrations in behalf of schrnitz
and RUef constitutes the principal evil
dence against them. Burns secret
men mingled in the gatherings. and
the conduct Of both Walsh and ONeil
were carefully noted The reports
from klle MNLftLlAeS SHOW a mlSn de-
gree OF activity on the part OF the
two officials in cheering for Ruef and
the administration and in voicing
denunciation Of Heney and Burns.
1T is further shown that the Sheriff
and the Coroner on all occasions were
among those TO raise their voices loud
est in defense Of Ruef and Schmitz
and in condemning the District At
Vorney's Office for its efforts to ''perse-
cute Gene and Abe"
These reports Of the detectives show
conclusiVely the prejudice of the OFF,
cials. Sheriff O-NeiTs action must be
regarded in a serious light, for he was
present in court when Heney. as assist
ant District Attorney, had announced
that he would lay charges of felony
against Ruef before the Grand Jury
For the Sheriff to exhibit disposition
TO aid and abet man accused of crime,
after the prosecuting official with
whom he is supposed to cooperate has
declared his purpose of waging prose-
cution. is not only unusul but is a
proper subject for investigation by the
Grand Jury.
HENEY FORCES AHEAD.
The game is too SMALL was the an
swer vouchsafed when inquiry was
made as TO whether or not steps would
be taken against ONeil. The prosecu-
tors are content now that they are in
a position to disQualify officials who
might 90 much toward apprising Ruef
OF what is going on and thereby facili-

Prosecution has never been under
taken under more difficult circum-
stances than has that of Abe Ruef
Every department of the machinery Of
the law has been under his absolute
control. and his influence over the
bench has also been large. But Heney

been too great for them to surmount
