Distension of the

Willow charcoal is the most impor-

obtainable. Wood consists of carbon.
hydrogen and oxygen, and when heated
in a room where the supply of air is
limited the more volatile matters are
burned away and most of the carbon
remains.
In a finely divided state charcoal not
only condenses gases to a marvellous ex-
tent, but also has the power of absorb
ing coloring matters. II is a very rapid

and wards of hospitals for the removal
of offensive odors.

Physicians frequently employ char
coal for destroying the fetor of wounds,
for which purpose 1t is applied In the
form OF powder or pouitce TO gan
grenoUs sores, ulcers. etc. Ii is also
largely used in tooth powders. as by its
mechanical action 1t removes incrus-

by far the best and most powerful rem

Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges should be
used frequently or constantly by paint
ers, or workers in lead, and all persons
whose occupations make them liable TO

ployed by any one who suffers from
those annoying symptoms of, indiges-
tion, such as fermentation, decomposi-

stomach, colicky pains, resulting from
overdistension of the intestines with

Shore Case

Charles r. Rankin and John j. Lynch,
the stock brokers convicted of embez-
zling bonds of the Ocean Shore railroad,
and A S. Bacon and w. w. Sweet were
sued yesterday by T. c. West for $4,000
for attorneys fees.
West states that when Lynch was ar
rested in Nevada in August 1908, Ran
kin. Sweet and Bacon retained him TO
defend Lynch. They also employed him
to do what he could to prevent indict-
ments being returned against them.
Later Rankin was indicted and West
was retained for his defense.
West says that he was successful in
preventing indictments being returned
against Bacon and Sweet by being care
full that nothing duplicating them
should be divulged in the trial OF
Lynch and in the first trial of Rankin.
"The testimony when this case comes
to trial will be corroborative of that
given by Lynch duplicating Sweet and
Bacon in the deal" said West yester-

You know Frank came here from

ance was as candidate on the dem.
ocratic ticket. He then ran once on
the citizens ticket and his last
appearance was as a reform republi.

announcement on his part there
might be some people who would
think that Frank has always been
changing his politics to secure Office
not from principle. But Frank

Payne Tariff Bill Amended In Many

Washington, April l3.-The amend

ure will begin on Thursday.
As reported, the bill does not con-
tain all of the changes in rates which
the finance committee proposes to
make. Although ivtral important
amendments, suon a. the restoration
Of the Dingley rates on women's
gloves and hosiery, the placing Of
works of art on the free list and the
assessment of duty on iron ore, have
been made, the revenue producing pos
sibilities of the bill are little changed.
The increases are provided mainly in
the schedule covering luxuries, the
entire liquor schedule being material.
ly advanced. The increase on wines
and spirits is expected to bring in
about 100000 additional revenue.
Senator Aldrich stated that the COM
mittee realizes that the increases thus
far recommended will not be sufficient
to counterbalance' the loss in revenues
that will result from the reductions
and the frightening of the free list.
This shortage will necessitate further
increases on certain Injuries, and the
committee intends to report some
changes at an early date which 1t will
ask the senate to adoot.

lands in the other counties were
endowment lands and in Marshall
county were appraised at Sl5 to $50
per acre; in Mcpherson county at
from $12 to $22 per acre, and in
Edmunds county at Sl2 to SIS per
acre. The figures here given are
much higher than those Of last year,
which was naturally to be expected,
as South Dakota is becoming appre-
ciated at it's real value and is being
sought after by homeseekers and
investors. 1t will be noticed that
the value placed upon Day county
real estate is about $40 per acre in
advance of that of the other counties
mentioned. There is a good and
sufficient reason for the increased
valuation-the lands are worth it.
