HUNT AND HITCHCOCK IN ON HONOR Coantr Officers Called Oae by Oac t Testify as to Boodle aad the Bill to Eitead Their Terras, OMAHA SUBURBS After a consultation with Former Con gressman Hitchcock and one of his re porters, the Nebraska senate Investigating committee went Into secret session Satur day morning at 10:30 at the Merchants hotel. The committee, composed of Senators Sheldon, DImerjr and Bresce, has as head quarters room 2, on the second floor of the Merchants. At a few minutes after 10 o'clock Mr. Hitchcock. E. C. Hunt and a few Interested spectators filed Into the room to make Inquiries as to the method of procedure to be followed. The legis lators and the former congressman ex changed greetings and then Mr. Hitchcock made Inquiry as to what the committee proposed to do. Senator Sheldon and his colleagues ex plained In that nice way the legislators always have with them that the committee proposed to hear the witnesses separately; that a stenographic report would be made by the committee's own reporter, and that at the conclusion of the testimony It would all be given out for the benefit of the people of the state. War It Is Secret. Senator Sheldon explained and his col leagues agreed, that they thought the In vestigation might possibly spread beyond Omaha. If so, they did not want the last witnesses who might be called to know what the first witnesses, had testi fied to Senator Bresee farther made explanation that he thought the committee would have no objection to Mr. Hitchcock being present, on honor, since the charges originated In his shop. This on the dis tinct understanding that nothing was to be used In a news way until the committee got (good and ready to give out the testi mony. Mr. Hitchcock, with a winning and graci ous smile, opined that he had often thought the press ought to be culled the suppress. Nevertheless, he desired, and Mr. Hunt emphasized this desire, that they should have a stenagrapher present. He would be willing that the notes to be taken by this private stenographer should be de livered to the committee at the close of every session, and that they should be written out only at the conclusion of the hearings. It was on this understanding, then, that the committee got down to business with Its private stenographer, a lady from Lincoln, and Charles W. Pearsall as stenographer for Mr. Hitchcock. AH are, of course, sworn to secrecy. Mr. Hitchcock also managed to arrange matters so that Mr. Hunt, after giving his testimony, should be allowed to remain In the Inquisition room. onnty Officials Called. The public officials called and examined up to noon were County Assessor Harry D. Reed, County Judge Vlnsonhaler and Sheriff John Power. What they told can be only conjectured. Judge Vlnsonhaler was longest under the examination of the com mittee and the senators must have rather enjoyed the Judge' company. His insou ciant air of good nature and let-the-world-come-as-lt-wlll was not appreciably dis turbed, but there was an air of quiet relief about the Judge which made Sheriff Power chirk up and go upstairs with a buoyant step. The investigators had finished with the sheriff shortly after 12 o'clock and then ad journed until 1, Just long enough to wade through a bill of fare and get a cigar lighted. Seated about the lobby of the hotel all morning were various men connected with county offices and many others who were prrsent to rubber and to Josh. Chief Clerk Leslie of the county judge's office was there and Treasurer Fink dropped In for a minute, but finding no Immediate, opening to tell his tale, he rushed back to his office. James H. Winspear was sitting quietly by reading a newspaper and smoking, but apparently not at all concerned that It was his talk which hud started all the machinery of the solons Into motion. Would ( hip la "Chanae." Sheriff Power talked so fast that he drove the official stenographer almost to despair, but when the committee got the sheriff down to positive fac,ts the only thing de veloped was that he had always been will ing to "chip in a little change for an at torney." And the committee looked at each other and agreed that a man need not go to confession every day m Lent for that. Chief Clerk Leslie of the county judge's office was allowed to tell all he knew of boodllng, or boosting, or talking, or what ever It was, without breaking any windows In the room where the hearing was in progress. Register of Deeds Harry Deuel was wor ried by waiting when he was ushered Into the hearing. Whle he did not say so In words when he came out, he Intimated that the committee knew as well as he did that there uru numerous holes In a skim mer. "And," said Mr. Deuel, "if one man wants to talk big about small things 1 can't help It." County Treasurer Fink answered every question of the committee in a good clear voice und In Knglish easily understood. Ex pense money of a legitimate character was ail he had ever heard discussed, and that only like men talk about any ordinary busi ness affair of life. Flak Balked at Batter-la. When Mr. Hitchcock undertook to put a line of questions to Mr. Fink, the county treasurer suld that if he was supposed to help make a democratic holiday he would like to have his own attorney present to enjoy the treat. At this suggestion Mr Hitchcock gave up his front seat and Mr. Fink was excused. - Clerk of Courts Broadwell and Attorney L. I. Abbott were called for, but they were not kept long. Mr. Abbott Is understood to have been the regularly employed at torney of the county officers who met In Lincoln early In the session and decided to have the bill framed and presented. James It. Wlnspear was the witness the committee kept longest In Its cabinet, but what he told or how he told It only the committee and Its unofficial adviser knows It is presumed that his story In The Bee was practically dpullcated, for Mr. Win spear says that Is ail he knows about this case. Ucuunant Governor McOilton and Sen ator Meservo were In the room during the latter part of the hearing. At the conclusion of the hearing Chair man Sheldon announced that himself and his colleagues will return to Lincoln today He said they will meet at the Undell hotel in Lincoln Monday evening, to consider and frame their report.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL Few People Kmw How Usefnl It ts la Preserving; Health and Heaaty. Nearly everybody knows that charcoal " the saiest and moat efltcient disinfectant end purifier in nature, but few realise Its value when taken Into the human system for the same cleansing purpose. Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of It the better; it Is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present In the stomach and intes tines and carries them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok ing, drinking or after eating onion and other odorous vegetable. Charcoal effectually clears nd Improves the complexion, it whiten the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently ate cathartic. It abaorb ths injurious gsses which col lect In the stomach ana bowel; it dism. feet the mouth and throat from tbu poison of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best charcoal Charcoal Loaengea; they are composed J the n!,t Powoor"d Willow cbarcuaj, r otlwr harmleea antiseptics In tablet forw or rather In tna form or large, pleasant tasting loaeiute. the charcoal being mixed witn honey. The dally We of these losenges will soon tell In a much improved condition of the general health, better complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of Jt is, that no possible harm can result from their continued um, but uu the contrary, great benefit. A Buffalo physician In vpeaklng of the benefit oi charcoal, says: -j advise Stuart Charcoal Losing to all patient suffering from gas In stomach and bowels, and to clear the complexion and punry the breath, mouth and throat; I also believe the liver Is greatly benefited by the dally use of them; they coat but twenty-five rents a box at drug store, and although in some sense a patent preparation, yet i be lieve i get more and , batter charcoal in Stuart's Charcoal Losenges than la an of the ordinary cbarooai tablet."
