THE OLD RAILROAD PASSES.
Parody on "Thc Old Oalen Bucket"
Which Is Making a Hit.

The following parody on The Old
Oaken Bucket" which rumor has II, has
been stolen practically bodily from
the Chicago lie, ord Herald, is now be-
ing sung with eolat by the Railroad
Row Jubilee singers:
How dear to IN. heart are the old rail-
road passes,
AS fond recollection presents them
to view:
The passes that lifted me over the
Masses
The trips and the round trips"
the ANNALS" too:
The o. S. L. pass, and the Union Pa
cific,
The passes I've had on the D. g. Il.
The San Pedro pass that with thought
beatific
! sazed upon once. as twas handed
oh, beautiful passes, oh, dear railroad
Which noble officials once issued to
mel
Those small strips OF paper / always
will treasure,
Although no conductor will honor
them now;
All, once they We're sources OF exquisite
pleasure.
And still they send happy thrills
through me, somehow
I'VE ridden on passes from ocean TO
ocean,
I've travelled IN Pullman and paror
cars free.
Alas, why did Hepburn conceive the
wild notion
or taking my dear railroad passes
from mo?
Oh beautiful passes, oh, glorious pass
es.
The passes that brought SO much
comfort to me!
They tell me it's useless to hope for a
minute
That ways may be found of evad-
ing the law:
There's not the least sign of a loop
hole within t.
drown and may not even clutch at
a straw
Behold me victim OF sad contempla-
ton.
a future all dismal and passless !
see;
The Joys that accompany free trans
portatlon
They've ruthlessly taken forever
from me.
Farewell to the passes, the dear rail-
road passes
That never again may bring glad
ness to me.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It 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 remedy that the more
you take of it the better 1t 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 on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; 1t
disnfects 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 tie 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 tel, in much improved condition
of the general health. better complex
ion. sweeter breath and purer blood,
and the beauty of it is, that no possi-
Bile harm can result from their contin-
ued use, but on the contrary, great
benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking Of
the benefits of charcoal says: q adj
wise Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges to ali
patients suffering from gas in stom
ach and bowels. and to clear the COM
plexion and purify the breath, mouth
and throat: l also believe the liver
is greatly benefited by the daily use
of them; they cost but twenty-five
cents a box at drug stores, and al
though in some sense a patent prepar-
alton. yet l believe / get more and bet
ter charcoal in Stuart's Charcoal Loz-
enges than in any of the ordinary char

Pardons Committee Will In
vestigate the Legal Status
of Pardons
QUESTION OF JURISDICTION
Some Members of the Opinion That the
Legislature Has No Right to Act in
Cases Where Death Sentence Has
Been Passed and Date of Execution
Set.
Special to Times-hepublican.

Des Moines, March 24.-An interest
ing question is to come before the
members of the legislature in reference
to the applications for executive Glenn
ency which have been submitted to the
pardons committees for action. Two
capital cases were submitted to the
committees by Governor Cummins. In
the cases of Louis Busse and Joseph
Smith, both sentenced to hang, the
governor has fixed the date of execu-
ton and il is understood he does not
desire in any way to evade the respon-
sibility for the death sentence, but as
a safeguard and to show the utmost
fairness he passed the cases over to
the legislature. The code is silent as
to the jurisdiction of the legislature.
Yesterday the pardons committee APP
pointed a Subcommittee to examine
into the rights and duties of the leg
islature and to prepare report on
the legal phases of the subject. Some
members believe that the legislature
has no right whatever in the matter;
others that since the governor has SUBJ
mitted the cases that right is created
But report will be prepared which
will go to the legislature and the COM
mittees will ask that it be adopted and
go into the record so that it will form
a precedent for the future. If the Leg
islature has no jurisdiction and yet no
action is taken in all probability every
capital case will in the future be sub
mitted to the legislature. The COM
mittee will make a report which Will
discuss the matter fully. The commits
tee named consists of Messrs. Cum
mings. Saunders. Newberry. Stookey.
Dow and Meredith
The pardons committees have heard
all the cases submitted to them. The
cases of J. D. Cater, Betsy Smith, a.
d. Storms and the Rainsbargers were
all withdrawn before action was taken.
The house committee has acted unfav-
orably on all the cases except the two
hanging cases. The senate committee
has not voted on any cases.
The pardon business is one OF the
most annoying of all that come before
the legislature.
