other than pension and relief bills, ever
became a law; that every appropria-
tion obtained for public improvements
in this district passed the senate nrst
and was favorably reported by the
house itself, and that no one of them
ever passed the house through the ell
forts of Mr.. McLachlan.
HE claims to have been a great
friend of the citrus fruit industry, YET
the record of his service for the last
four terms fails to disclose a single
instance when he ever mentioned or
referred to citrus fruit or the citrus
fruit industry in congress, in any way
or manner
"He claims to have obtained great
appropriations for the San Pedro har-
Dor and for public improvements OF
Los Angeles, yet during these four
terms the record fails to show single
instance in which he mentioned san
Pedro harbor in congress.
"Mr. McLachlan claims to have been
a great friend of the veteran soldiers,
and to have represented their interests
faithfully in congress. / have consult
ed the congressional record to ascer-
tain the extent of Mr. McLachlan's
friendship for the soldier, measured by
his actual efforts in his behalf, and
find this condition OF affairs to exist:
Mr.. McLachlan introduced seventy
four pension and private relief bills
into the two sessions of the Fifty-seV-
enth congress. They were referred to
appropriate committees, and two were
reported by the committee, amended
and passed, and seventy-tWo are SUN IN
committee He introduced 143 private
pension and relief bills into the Fifty
eighth congress. Of there 14S, fifty
seven were but duplicates of bills in
troduced into the Fifty-seventh con-
gress. Out of those lab bills four OF
them passed. At the beginning of the
present congress he introduced anoth-
er batch of private pension and relief
bills, five of which were bills he intro
duced in the first session of the Fifty
seventh congress, eight years ago, ana
which have been introduced by him
into every congress since.
II have a communication received by
a veteran whose application for PEN
sion was filed, presented and granted
without the knowledge or consent OF
Mr.. McLachlan. More than month
after this veteran had officially been
notified that his pension had been
granted he received this communlca-
ton:
INV Dear Sir: 1 congratulate you
upon the fact that you have recently
been granted a pension under the priv
ileges of the general service pension
law. passed at the last session OF con-
gress. This will reach you in due time,
and will begin from the date of the nj,
ing of your application. l have urged
the department to be as expeditions as
possible in placing it at your disposal.
II at any future time you think l can
be of assistance to you, let me know,
and [ will be glad to do what can
for you. Very respectfully,
JAMES McLACHLAN.'
after a careful and thorough exam
ination l fail to see what he has done
for the old veterans that should arouse
any particular enthusiasm among them
over his efforts to prolong his season of
inactivity"

Charcoal Kills
Bad Breath
Whether from Decay in the Stomach
or Teeth, and Will Stop
Stomach Gases
Willow Charcoal Best for Use


Charcoal has been used for absorbing
foul odors and neutralizing noxious
gases for centuries.
Dupont, the powder manufacturer,
learned that willow shoots two to three
years off age made the best charcoal.
1t is most porous.
Fetid breath, whether from stomach
or teeth, pyrosis Cor gastric PAIN, diar-
rhoea and constipation simply cannot
exist under the action of charcoal.
Charcoal oxidizes all gases, or in
other words, changes foul smelling
odors into oxygen, thereby doing away
with all foulness and rendering even
such gases beneficial to the system by
giving 1t more oxygen. The lungs purt-
fy the blood with oxygen from the air.
Dying patients have oxygen adminiS-
tered to their system artificially and
live for days under this treatment.
Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges are made
from willow shoots and sweet honey
Thus they are palatable, strong and
natural. No medicine is used whatever,
but the peculiar Stuart process gives
them a decided charm and efficiency
which endear them to all consumers.
One may use them as one likes. Eat
ing one every once in a while insures
pure breath, while the common method
is to eat two or three after meals and
at bedtime. They work very fast and
their use is a most excellent habit to
form. In a short time you will learn
that their influence has improved bowel
action wonderfully; simply by giving
to the bowel a waste product to carry
off that has no gaseous formation to
kill and destroy its nerves and men,
branes.
Every druggist carries Stuart's Char
coal Lozenges, price 20 cents. or send

send you a trial package by mail free.

DROWN SPEECH
OF GOVERNOR
GilIett, AssaIIed with Cries of "Scrip''
and Dinner PAIL" Tells Auditors
to Go on Long Journey or
Be Quiet

Governor James N. Gillett and Con-
gressman James McLachlan Friday
night thought they had found their
way into the enemy's camp instead OF
a Republican rally at Simpson audi
torium.
Mr.. McLachlan, as chairman for the
evening, was nearly hooted off the
stage, after mentioning Mr.. Bryan
name in deprecatory way.
The governors speech was continu-
ally interrupted with cries of scrip,
''full dinner pail" and sarcastic
phrases.
At one point the executive became
so irritated that he said angrily he
had come 500 miles to talk and trusted
that those who were creating the dis
turbance would go as far as he had
come
Behind the speakers table, in the
seats reserved for vice presidents, sat
some of the governors staff, MEM
bers of the travelling party and the
men who had filed the six automobiles
which constituted part of the earlier
parade. There also were vacant chairs
there.
Congressman McLachlan put his foot
into it when he said Mr.. Bryan had
voted for the Wilson BILL as the mere
mention of the word Bryan" acted
like a lighted match dropped into a
powder keg The men in the front
seats seemed to take 1t as a signal
TO yell for the Commoner, and those
in the galleries Joined in the din. 1t
looked for a time as if the famous
scene at the Denver convention was
to be re-enacted.
Finally the noise ceased and the
chief speaker made his opening re-
marks. He also trod on thin ice when
he began referring to good times and
was assailed with cries of scrip"
+ The governor tried to induce the
audience to be quiet, but the unrest
seemed to grow as at times he made
references to "the prosperity that the
Republicans brought" to the country.
For over an hour he braved the in
terruptions, and then almost pleaded
with the audience to give him a chance
to be heard. By this time many had
left and the speaker finished his re-
marks in peace.

TEARS RECORD
OF M'LACHLAN
RUSH SHOWS CONGRESSMAN
ACCOMPLISHED LITTLE
FILES CLAIMS FOR PENSIONS
BUT OBTAINS FEW
Although Doing Nothing for the Vet
eran Soldiers, He Takes Pains to
Write Them Month After
Getting Money

Jud Rush, Democratic candidate for
congress in this district, punched an
other hole in the congressional record
of his opponent, James McLachlan, last
night at two big meetings under DEM
oeratic auspices, one at Azusa and the
other at Covina.
1t was a week previous when Mr.
McLachlan, speaking at Azusa, de-
manded his record in congress be In
vestigated, and if there were found
any weak spots in 1t, that these weak
spots be pointed out.
Mr.. Rush last night discussed the
matter of pensions for veteran soldiers,
and after presenting the facts to his
hearers, left it to them to decide wherc
this is a weak spot in McLachlans rec
ord. 1t certainly does not appear weak
in the matter of introduction of pension
bills, for McLachlan, 1t is said, has in
troduced more pension bills into con-
gress than any congressman, but, on
the other hand, he has secured feWer
results.
Among other things he said:
Answering Mr.. McLachlan's chal-
lenge, have investigated his official
record as a member of congress from
this district.
Il have proved by the official record
of his services that during his entire
term as a member of the Fifty-ninth
congress he spoke but 1877 words in con-
gress, which cost the people more than
$71 a word.
I'm an address L have proved. by the
same official record. that during the
entire first session of the Sixtieth con-
gress. lasting approximately six
months. all the work done by Mr.. Nc
Iachlan could easily have been accom-
plished i'll one day, and the expense to
the government for that one days
work was more than S12,500.
IT have demonstrated, from the same
record and from other reliable sources,
that no bill introduced by Mr.. McLach-
L., into fhe house of representative

IMPRISONED
Indications are Strongly in
Favor of Their Rescue and
No Special Anxiety is Now
Felt-Caught by Breaking
of a Mud Dam.
BY Associates Press.

Pottsville, Pa, Feb. 17.-Twenty-
eight miners were imprisoned in the
Mid-Valley Colliery. near Mount Car
mel, this morning by the breaking of
dam, which caused rush of mud
that filled the gangway for three
hundred and fifty feet.
Rescuing parties worked all day
long endeavoring to reach the en-
tombed men. and shortly after six
O'Clock tonight they were given en-
couaragement by sounds of digging
from inside.
This caused many of the friends
and relatives of the entombed men,
who have been around the entrance
all way, to go home, but many built
bon fires and prepared to camp on the
ground all night
Later shot was heard from inside
indicating the men were at work TO
effect their own rescue, and giving
assurance of the air being good.
One gang of men was put TO work
digging away the great bank of mTd
in the gangway. and another gang is
engaged in driving a heading from
an adjoining gangway, while a third
gang was put TO work at the point
where the entombed men were TO
have driven heading to the surface
from the gangway in which they are
Imprisoned.
1t is believed the last named gang
will be the first 10 reach the entomb-
ed men, and il is hoped to be able to
get them out or to give them food
and drink by tomorrow morning.
