MURDER WILL OUT,
BODY FOUND IN RIVER,

Capt. Henry Rockenschuh, while
towing the Rosa A. up the rvier quite
tate IN the evening last Saturday dis
covered a floating body. He made it
last to the shore and notified Coroner
Marrero, who summoned a iurv and
neld an inquest. The body proved to
be that OF VIM. Barton, who lived
near Houltonville, and who had been
missing several days. A piece of new
rope was tied about the waist of the
corpse and at the other end an old
cylinder head was fastened, evidently
used to sink the body in the river. A
CHASTITY wound in the side of the
head, caused by a load of buckshot
being fired at close range and bruise,
ON the head, as if struck by club,
added to the evidence that murder or
the most horrible and cold-blooded had
been committed. The jury returned a
verdict in accordance thereto, Sheriff
Brewster Immediately set officers of
the law to work to trace out the guilty
parties. Meantime the body was taken
to the establishment of Badon &
Strobe where it was prepared for
burial. lnterment was made at Madi-
sonville.
Investigation brought out a story
that Barton and his brothers-i law
had quarreled and also that he and
his wife had not been living amicably
together.
Ernest Guiteau, Arthur Perrilloux
and Bernard Serras, of Houltonville,
nave been arrested on suspicion and
are now in Jail.

Foul Breath
Made Pure and Sweet by the Use of
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges.
Trial Package Sent Free.

Do not go among your friends with a
breath so odious as to make your presence
distastefUl. Foul breath is capable of easy
removal if you will take q little time to
overcome it. Generally foul breath comes
from one OF two causes, impure gases or
foul digestive fluids.
Charcoal is the strongest absorbent Of
foul gases known. II positively attracts
pOisons and neutraIizes their evil ef-
fects.
A noted French physician swallowed
strychnine enough to kill three men and
with a tablespoonful Of charcoal removed
the bad effects Of this terribly swift poi
son.
a little charcoal in bedroom or cellar
will make foul air pure. Pure willow
charcoal mixed with honey are the COM
pouent parts OF Stuart's Charcoal Iozen-
ges and pure breath is the result of their
use after meals. Simply dissolve two or
three after meals and at bed time and
foul breath flees at once. No matter how
you cause these gases, whether by bad
food. alcohol or abuse of the stomach
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges will stop gas
making and sweeten the breath.
They are perfectly harmless and the
eating OF d box would cause you no in
convenience whatever.
Charcoal is hard TO prepare for the
stomach because it must be strong and
pure and most people will not take it un-
less made palatable. Stuart's inimitabe
process presents charcoal to the taste and
system in all the nicely desired.
Choice virgin willow is burnt into de-
srable charcoal: this is mixed with pure
honey and the combination is compressed
under tremendous power into a i0zengC of
great pieasantness and efficiency
Don't let your bad breath make peo-
pie cross the street to avoid you: go to
the nearest drug store and buy a box Of
Stusrt's Charcoal Lozenges today and
eat what YOU will. Two or three after
the meal will sweeten your breath at once.
II you want proof OF this fact send us
your name and address and We viii send
you a trial package by mail free. Ad-

CONSTITUTION VIOLATED
BY THE PRESIDENT
Continued From Page 1.

the report to The statement of Judge
Gary and Mr.. Frick i'm their interview
with the president, that they did not
want 10 buy the Tennessee concern.
From the testimony il is asserted that
the Tennessee property is worth prob
ably several hundred million dollars,
and would give the Steel corporation
ultimate control of the iron ore supply
of the country and the iron and steel
trade of the south.
1t is asserted by the committee that
whatever may be the supposed emer-
gency, no discretion is lodged in the
president Us to the enforcement of the
law. 1t was found IT. the opinion of a
majority of the subcommittee that the
presidents communication to Attorney
General BOnaparte was in effect a
direction not to interfere with the mer-
ger. 1t was pointed out that under
the federal constitution the president
is the one official who is expressly en-
joined to take care that the laws be
faithfully executed
