I want to tell you the result OF the pro-

combination OF corporate interests doing
business IN this State. In 1899 my prede-
cessor. Mr.. T.. c. Grow. began a suit
against a number o. Insurance companies
on the charge that they we're violating the

sessed a tine OF $1,000 against each Of the

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is In
Preserving Health and Beauty.
Cost Nothing To Try.

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 remedy that the more
you take Of it the better; 1t is not
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and intestines and car
ries 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 inn
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as natural ana
eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbes the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; 1t
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 Stuarts 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 loz-
enges, the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in much improved condi-
ton 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 Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to clear the complexion
and purify the breath mouth and
throat; also believe the liver is great
ly benefited by the daily use of them;
they cost but twenty-five cents box
at drug stores, and altho in some sense
patent preparation. yet l believe l
get more and better Charcoal in
Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges than in
any of the ordinary charcoal tablets"

A very serious operation was per-
formed Friday at the hospital. John
Fair, son of Henry Fahr of the Dun
kard neighborhood, now IS years of
age, received kick in the forehead
from horse 10 years ago which frac-
tured his skull. DR.. Bachman, then Of
West Bend, treated the case, and feel
ing sure that the boy could not sur
vive, he was not as particular in the
adjustment of the fractured bones as
otherwise he would have been. How
ever, the boy made what seemed a
recovery, but not long thereafter he
began having epileptic fits, recently
became frequent, occurring as often
as three times a day. The operation
disclosed that a fragment of the skull
had pressed down about half an inch
into the brain cavity, but without
breaking the covering Of that delicate
organ. The removal of the fractured
bones relieved the pressure, and the
patient has been resting much easier.
A complete recovery is hoped for.

COAL VEIN FOUND NEAR BOONE.
Fine Piece Of Mineral Discovered al.
Depth Of About $40 Feet.

Depth of About $40 Feet.
Special to Times Republican.
Boone, Feb. IA fine vein of coal,
sad to be one of the finest in this part
of the state, has just been discovered
on the Oakeaf farm south of this city.
The drillers have been busy of late
and have succeeded in uncovering a
fine piece of mineral. The belief Is that
the entire territory between Boone and
Madrid is underlad with fine quail
ty of coal and that this portion of the
state will within n short time become
the greatest coal region in Iowa.
The drilling operations have been
under way for the past three or four
weeks. but We're delayed for various
causes. AT a depth of $40 feet yes
terday the drill passed thru thick
vein of coal. fully as large either the
High Bridge or Scandal veins
The drillers estimated from the
depth of the Scandal and High Bridge
veins, that they would have to go down
from a depth of 300 to $50 feet. When
down a depth of $50 feet they got dis
couraged but decided to drill one day
longer and as Il result passed thru the
vein mentioned above.

Council Bluffs, Feb. 1.-F'ive people
Higgins, We're poisoned in some man
ner as yet unknown. and 1t is feared
all of them may die. The sick are
Mr. and Mrs. Higgins, their infant
daughter. aged years; c. IA. Hickman.
father Of Mrs. Higgins. and George
Boyd Hickman and Boyd are board
ers. Hickman and Boyd left the house
shortly after breakfast, and went to
their work They were taken sick a
few hours later and FASTENED home,
where they were astonished to find
the other members of the family
writing in pain, some of them upon
the beds and the little girl upon the
floor. Boyd managed to alarm a
neigfbor who sent for City Physician
N. ]. Rice. He administered to the
sick, but not knowing the exact cause
of their illness did not succeed in re-
lieving, them until opiates were given,
would die before they had taken eff
feet.
Mrs. Higgins, during moments OF
consciousness, told the city physician
She thought they had been poisoned
by oatmeal eaten at breakfast. The
paper package from which the meal
had been taken was examined. and
l,ola fpyn1 in ono CORNER The
marks on the paper clearly indicated
that there had been by a mouse gnaw-
ing thru it. The mouse had evidently
crawled into the package and prob
ably had made numerous incursions.
In the absence of any other indications
of a cause for the illness of the house,
hold, the meal is believed to have
been the source of the poisoning.
1t is claimed the box containing the
meal was broken in the manner de-
scribed when it reached the house from
the grocer, but no serious consequent
ces from the use of the meal were
thought Of by Mrs Higgins. j. A.
Kirk. the grocer from whom the meal
was bought, said he sold the meal. but
that 1t was from a box containing a
number of sealed packages, and that
dt had been in the store about a week.
The packages were not removed from
the box, but the box was set upon a
shelf and packages were taken from
1t as they were sold. Mr.. Kirk said
he believed the package sold to Mrs.
Higgins was unbroken, altho they were
delivered by wagon, and he thought
possibly one of them might have been
broken in transit.
Neighbors of the family bitterly as
sailed the physicians of the city. They
claimed that the sick people were
neglected and that of seven physicians
called to attend them not one re-
sponded until an insistent demand was
made by them. The city physician
called once and he supposed the regu-
lar family physician would follow him.
While in mit1erate circumstances the
family is we'll able to pay for the
services of a physician and the neigh
;bors are unable to account for the al
legged negligence.
