How t'aeful It la in Preserving- Health and Beauty. Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is the safest and most efficient disinfectant and purifier . In nature, bat few realize its value when taken into- the human system or the same cleansing purpose. Charcoal is a remedy that the more you 'Dke of lt the better; it Is not a drug at all, bui simply absorbs the gosea and Impuil (lea always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out ot the rystem.' Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok ;ny, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. - Charcoal effectually clears and Improves I lie complexion, 1 whitens the teat a and further acts as a natural and eminently vufe cathartlo, ' It absorbs the Injurious gases which col lect In the stomach and bowels; lt dlsin I ecu the mouth and throat from the poison or' rather In the form of large, pleasant , it catarrh. AM druggists sell charcoal In on form or .another, but probably the best charcoal tnd the moat for the money la in Stuart's Charcoal Losengea; they are composed of lh finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics In tablet form, lusting losengea, the charcoal being mixed 1lh honey. v The daily use of these losenges will soon loll In a much Improved condition of the general health, better complexion, sweeter utfeatb and purer blood, aud the beauty of It Js, that no poasiblo harm can result from i heir continued use, but on the contrary, riat benefit. A Buffalo physician In. speaking of th Uuients of charcoal,' says: "1 advise ituart's Charcoal Loaengea to all patient guttering from gas iu stomach and bowels ami to clear the complexion' and purify the breath, mouth and throat;. I also believe lha liver Is greatly benefited by the dully uaf of them; they cost but twenty-rlv cedis a box at drug stores, and ult hough In some, sense a patent preparation. e l believe I get more and better charcoal In ntuart'a Charooal Losengea than in any' of tl ordinary charcoal tablet.' - j Holiday Wines and Liquors A MILLER'S In neat pasteboard boxes See our windows.

It Is not charged In the Indictment that either HiIIIiiks or Lowe approached Senator Diet rich in any Improper way or offered him money or other eonlderulion for his aid In securing the postotflce.

I am also satisfied from my Investiga tions, both from Ptatements made by ltlll Iiirs and Lowe, from statement made by Senator Dietrich and from coplen of the correspondence on tile In the Postofflce de partment, that there was no design or at tempt upon the part of Hillings and Ixiw., either personally or by conspiracy, to bribe Senator Dietrich In the performance of his official duties.

FIRST REPORT F OFFICER IS FILED Alleges Ilia Hnrran Furnishes Means Thronah Which People Enaret in Interstate Bml.m Can Be Controlled. WASHINGTON. Dec. 21.-The first an nual report ot the commissioner of cor porutlons was submittal to congress today by Commissioner Garfield. He says no satisfactory reform is to be expected 0ndr the state system of Incorporation; that tho federal government has at Its command sufficient power to remedy existing condl tl"ns In lis control of Interstate com merce. He therefore suggests that con gress consider the advisability of enacting a law for the legislative regulation of In terstate and foreign commerce under a license of franchise, which In general should provide as follows: "The granting of a federal franchise or license to engage In Interstate commerce, "The Imposition of all necessary require ments as to corporate organisation and management as a condition precedent to the grant of such franchise or license. "The requirement of such reports and returns as may be desired as a condition of the retention of such franchises or license. "The prohibition of all corporations and corporate agencies from engaging In In terstate and foreign commerce without such federal franchise or license. 'The full protection of the grantees of such franchise or license who obey the laws applicable thereto. "The right to refuse or withdraw such franchise or license In case of violation of law, with appropriate right of Judicial ap peal to prevent abuse of power by the administrative officers." Commissioner Garlleld Fays the bureau. under the direction of the secretary of commerce and labor, affords the appropriate machlnciy for the administration of such a law.

As soon as the house met today Mr, Morrell (Pa.) called up the senate resolution granting the inaugural committee permission to use cer tain public buildings and reservations. In cluding the use of the Pf nslon building for the Inaugural ball. Mr. Underwood op posad consideration of the bill at this time, when, he said, a quorum of the house wus not present and called attention to a promise made four years ago that the people of Washington would construct a place for holding Inaugural balls. Asked by Mr. Mann (111.) why the com mlttee had "switched" first from the Con gressional library, then to the Capitol, and now to the Pension building, Mr. Morrell said lt was because of the evident dlsposl tion of the house to hold the inaugural ball In the Pension building. The resolution was criticised by Mr. Mann because he said it permitted the charging of excessive prices for cabs and carriages, and he thought there should be a quorum present to consider the other features of the bill. He objected to a motion for unanimous consent to take the resolution up and It" accordingly goes over till after the holidays., The house then ad Journed until January 4, .1905.

CXTRACT I r Birr OIIBD OUR LETTER BOX As to Proseentlna; Attorneys. WAHOO, Neb., Dec. 21 To the Editor of The Ree: Two years ago Judges Lettoti. Grimes, Baxter. Holmes and the writer, w-ere appointed a committee oti "Judicial administration" by the State Bar assin-la-tlon. Our duties were to supgest to the legislature remedial legislation. Among other things the committee recommended a modification of our county attorney's set. and also a return to the old system of pros ecutions by district attorneys. The writer prepared bills designed to carry these re forms into effect and they were Introduced by Senator Hastings of David City, but failed of passage. Permit me, through the columns of your paper, to call attention briefly to some of the evils which these bills were designed to remedy. In many of tho Judicial districts of this state the people of all political parties have treated the office of county attorney as a position for ambitious law students, and In many cases they have elected young at torneys without cxiKTlcnce to these Import ant positions. Of course, these criticisms do not apply to counties where the people have elected competent and experienced at torneys. But the practice Is common throughout the state and cspcclully In sparsely settled communities. I have It from one of the Judges In such a district that In all important cases It became neces sary to appoint competent attorneys at pub lic expense to assist In criminal prosecu tions, the expense entailed thereby being greater each year than the salary of the Judge. This is true to some extent In nearly every district of the state. Thousands of dollars of public funds are annually wasted by trivial prosecutions that ought not to have been Instituted. Guilty men often escape punishment be cause of the Inexperience of the prosecut ing attorneys. These ambitious young gen tlemen are too ofteji outclassed and out witted In criminal cases requiring vigorous and efficient prosecution. The defendant, In all Important prosecutions, usually em ploys the ablest member of the bar to de fend him. When this occurs one of two things must be done. Either tho court must appoint an attorney at public expense or the party Interested In the prosecution must employ one at his own expense. Trials in the district courts ought to be so conducted that the Judgments rendered therein would be final. And this is es pecially true in criminal prosecutions. The courts are entitled to assistance In these cases by the attorneys representing the state, but it ofUn happens for the reasons above suggested that the attorneys elected are unable to render such assistance. Cases are often reversed because of the errors committed by Inexperienced prose cutors. In such cases the courts must set aside verdicts, or suffer reversals in the supreme court. To remedy these defects the committee recommended to the State Bar associa tion the election of district attorneys, and also the election of county attorneys by lh" commissioners. Instead of the people gen erally. The recommendations were adopted by the State Bar association and the pro posed legislation was approved by the so ciety. The writer prepared bills, copies of which are enclosed herewith, for your information and use. To meet the- ex pense of the salaries of the district at torney lt was recommended that the sal aries of the county attorneys throughout tho state be reduced sufficiently to meet this requirement. The change contem plates a division of the work; the district attorneys to prosecute all criminal cases and the county attorneys to assist, when requested. The county attorneys are to have charge of all civil business of their respective counties. Provislnn Is also made for the appointment of deputies in districts requiring such appointments. lt is believed by the committee that the legislation suggested would save the state thousands of dollars each year, and would render more certain the administration of Justice. These reforms will again be pre sented to the legislature at the coming ses sion and I trust that you will see your way clear to assist in securing their adoption. It will be observed that the bill provides that only lawyers of at least five years' experience and at least 30 years of age are eligible to the office of district attorney. B. F. GOOD.
