THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How usetu! 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 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 always pres
ent 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 az natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
1t 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'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 lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condition
OF the general health, better COM
plexion, sweeter breath and purer
blood. and the beauty of it is. that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use. but on the contrary
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking OF
the benefits of charcoal says: Il ad-
wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stom-
ach and bowels. and to clear the CON-
plexion and purify the breath. mouth
| and throat; I also believe the liver is
| greatly benefited by the daily use o.
| them; they cost but twenty-five cent:

JOHN BURKE WILL
DEFEND THE
Man
Albine Reindeau, Accused Ro-
lette County Murderer, En-
cages His Counsel.
ALEX Po1TRAs IS VICTIM
Killing the Result of Trouble
Over the Behavior of the
Dead Man.

Albine Riendeau, the Rolette county
farmer charged with the unjustifiable
murder OF Alex Poitras, has engaged
as counsel for defense John Burke of
Devils Lake, democratic candidate for
governor, and c. R. Gailus.
The crime for which Riendeau must
stand trial was committed Sunday
evening, Sept. %. about two miles
southeast of the Alcide postoffice in
Rolette county. The scene of the
tragedy was the Viau farm now occu-
pied by man named Robideau, in
Shell Valley township. Albine Rien-
deau, owner and operator of thresh-
ing machine, was threshing on the
place. Toward evening Alexander
Poitras. a policeman from the Turtle
Mountain reservation, with two or
three companions came over to the
cook car. Poitras who appears to
have been plentifully supplied with
liquor demanded supper. The woman
In charge of the car gave him his sup
per, and then being afraid of him, left
the car and took refuge in the house.
1t appears that Poitras then proceeded
to demolish the car and create a gen.
eral disturbance. This fact was re-
ported to Mr. Riendeau. Poitras being
large powerful man, and having the
reputation of being an all around
bully, Mr.. Riendeau was afraid to
meet him unarmed and went to the
home of Henry Brown and borrowed a
rifle. Riendeau then went over to the
car, and finding that Poitras was not
there inquired where he was and went
IN ol,o
feet distant he called to Poitras and
ordered him to turn around. AS he
did so, he advanced a step toward
Riendeau and made a motion with his
right hand as if to draw out a re-
volver Riendeau Immediately fired
on Poitras, the shot taking effect il.
the breast and killing him instantly
This was about $3.50 p. m. Mr. Rien-
deau soon after left for Rolla and
upon arriving there gave himself up.
On Monday afternoon Coroner Rob-
ert Hamilton, States Attorney Bateson
and Deputy Sheriff Edison F. Taylor
went to Alcide and held an inquest
over the body. Messrs. w. P. Metz,
Peter Murphy and A. Lake were sworn
in as Jurors. A post mortem examina-
ton of the body had previously been
made by Drs. Lemieux and Verret.
They found that the ball entered the
breast. passed through the vertebral
column and lodged in the muscles of
the back. The bullet had completely
severed the aorta. death being instan-
taneous. After a number of witnesses
had been examined. the jury returned
a verdict of Murder without iustifi-
able or eycusable cause" The de-
PENDANT was arraigned Tuesday be-
fore Justice of the Peace E. E. Fee.
An adjournment was taken to 10 a.
m. Friday.
The defendant is regarded as one
of the most law abiding citizens of
Rolette county. He has resided there
for about twenty years and his repu-
tation has been good.

NORTH END HAD NO
SEPTEMBER
FIRES
Department Did Not Have Sin
gle Call From There Dur
ing the Month.
A RECORD FOR SECTION
Chief Runge' Believes Care
Exercised By Property
Owners Is Cause.
A RECORD FOR SECTION

An inspection of the records at the
fire department discloses the fact that
for over month the department has
not been called to the north end of
the city. This speaks well for the
people of that section and for the care
which they take of their property.
This is new record for this city, as
no previous month of September show,
freedom from serious conflagration.
The reasons for this are chiefly the
care and attention given to the prop
erty owners and ths careful inspec-
ton of all causes for fire starting, by
the police and the fire department Of
ficiafs. Nearly all the residences IN
the north end of the city are owned
by the people occupying them, and
their interest in keeping the prop .rty
free from damage is much more pc..-
sonal than where larger part OF the
population are tenants as is the case
in the other portions Of the city. =
This freedom from fires has been
maintained in spite of the fact that ut
this time OF the year fires are more
prevalent than at any other sea son
and in spite OF the fact that a great
many OF the buildings-nearly all, in
would catch fire and burn up quickly
il the best of care was not exercised.
The proportion OF brick or fire-proof
buildings in the entire residence por-
tons OF the city-the north end es-
pecially-is very small, being confined
to few scattered buildings here and
there, and in such a district as the
north end the months fireless record
is truly praisewOrthy.
Chief Runge said to an Evening
Times representative today that the
average number OF runs per week
would ordinarily be three or four, as
calls to the number of twelve month
have been recorded for several months
past. The only run to the north end
was on the day of the burning of the
buildings on the Bacon farm, but that
fire could hardly be charged up against
the north end as the buildings are sit
uated in the country about two miles,
At this time of the year, the chief
says, there are almost double the
usual number OF fire calls, owing to
the fact that as cold weather sets in,
people are installing their stoves and
trying out their furnaces and conse-
quently flues are being burned out and
small blazes kindled.

The first regular meeting of the

in the rooms in the public library.
The meetings will hereafter be held on
the first and third Mondays of every

address of the meeting was delivered
by John w. Ogren on the subject, I'm
vestments." Mr.. Ogren showed how
the spirit of accumulation has grad
ually been creeping over the country
and dwelt briefly on the main features
OF the subject. He traced the history
of money from the time when colored
cloths and skins were the principal
commodity of exchange until the pres
ent time when credits are the princi-
pal features. The speaker then took
up the desirable part of all invest
ments and showed how to distinguish
between the good and poor invest
ments, at least to the extent of salary,
permanency and profit. He spoke of
the two kinds of nvestments-real es-
tate and life insurance policies. F.
B. Feetham also spoke briefly on the
subject,

MASHED N A HORRIBLE MANNER
Clarence Harvey. Brakeman. Fell
Asleep With Head on Rail
Near Petersburg.

Clarence Harvey. brakeman en-
ployed by the Great Northern, was
killed in horrible manner yesterday
near Petersburg. The man presum-
ably lay down while waiting for an
other train to pass and fell asleep with
his head across the rail, and when the
Oriental Limited came roaring along
the wheels passed over the PROSTATE
form and scattered pieces of the body
for some distance along the rails.
The deceased was employed on Con-
ductOr Williams train. which had TAX
en- the siding at Petersburg to allow
Train 2 to pass. The engineer of Train
2 noticed the man lying there, but sup
posed that the signal whistle would
arouse him and he sounded 1t several
times. The brakeman did not move.
and then the emergency was turned
on, but it was too late to save the
life of Brakeman Harvey, whose body
was terribly mangled.
The body was brought to Larimore
last night on Train No. 6 and will be
shipped to the relatives. No inquest
was held.
