A tornado struck tho little town ot
Alicoville, Kas., on October 7 and
practically demolished it The town
contained about 200 inhabitants, and

brated lawyer and confederate soldier,

A convention known as the Missouri
river congress in session at Kansas
City, Mo., on October 8, adopted a
resolution urging the congress of tho
United States to remedy the existing
conditions along the Missouri river so
that a recurrence of the disastrous

It Is thought that this result may be
accomplished by talcing such measures
as to protect and preserve the channel
of the river as a highway.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Uieful It if in Pre.
itrving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that char
coal 16 tuo safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize Its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of It tn: better; it Is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
ir, the stomac . and Intestines and car
ries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
emoking, drinking or after eating
oaibns and othr odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and Im
proves tho complexion, it whitens the
tteth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic
It absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects the irouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
fcrm or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
i In Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges;
tbey are composed of the finest pow
dered Willow, cliarcoal, and othr
harmless antiseptics in tablet form or
rather in the fcrm of large, pleasant
tasting lozenges, the charcoal being
mixed with honey.
Iho daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condi
tion of the general health, better com
plexion, sweeter breath and purpr
blood, and tho beauty of It is, that
no possible harm can result fromtheir
continued use, but on the contrary,
great benefit.
A. Buffalo phypician in speaking of
the benefits of charcoal, says "I ad
vise Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to
ell patients suUing from jas in the
etomach and bowels, and to clear the
complexion and purify the breath
jnouth and throat; I also believe the
Jlver is greatly benefited by the dally
use of them; th - cost but 25 cents a
iJox at drug stores, and although in
Bomo sense a patant preparation, yet I
Miieve I get more and better charcoal
in btuart's Absc-bent Lozenges than In
y of the ordinary charcoal tablots."

On October 9 President Roosevelt
received the members of the Interna
tional exchange commission, which
has but recently returned from an ex
tended trip to Europe, where it was in
conference with the financial authori
ties of several governments with a
viow to arrange a common basis of
money exchange. It has been decided
to send Prof. J. W. Jenks of tho com
mission to China to lay before tho
Chinese government a recommenda
tion that it adopt the gold standard.
From Paris on October 8 camo the
news that a general treaty of arbitra
tion between Franco and Great Britain
has been concluded. It is said that
this new treaty follows tho general
lines of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty be
tween this country and Great Britain,
which, although it was rejected by tho
United States senate, serves as a basis
for treaties of this character.
It was reported from Santiago do
Chile on October 8 that tho entire
Chilean cabinet has resigned. This
cabinet was formed on September 2
and its dissolution was then conceded
to bo only a matter of time.
The arguments In the Alaskan boun
dary arbitration were finished in Lon
don on October 8. Mr. Dickinson,
John W. Foster, the agent for the
United States, and Lord Chief Justice
Alverstone made the concluding addresses.
October 8 was the date fixed for the
evacuation of parts of Manchuria by
the- Russian troops, but the day passed
without a Russian move toward that
end. The Russian-Japanese negotia
tions regarding Korea and Manchuria
are proceeding at Tokio, and It is
doubted that Russia will make any
substantial concessions. It is under
stood that China is waiting for the re
sult of these negotiations between Ja
pan and Russia before further treat
ing with Russia for tho evacuation of
Manchuria.
It is also announced that G. A. C.
Christiancy has resigned his poBt as
assistant attorney In the ofllco of tho
assistant attorney goueral for tho
postofllco department Mr. Christi
ancy has been on leavo of absence
sinco last April pending tho postofilco
investigation nnd tendered hia resig
nation some time ago which was ac
cepted by Postmaster General Payne
on October 9.
What is believed to hnvn hnnn nn
attempt to poison tho garrison of sol
ders at uarap El Paso at Cripple
Creek, Colo., was mado on October 8
and sixty-eight soldiers wero rendered
unfit for service for a time, but all recovered.

which experiments arc said to have
been successful.
Several of tho mills at tho Home
stead, Pa., steel works wero shut down
on October 9 for an indefinite poriod,
thereby throwing out of employment
over 2,000 men.
Now York city and adjacent terri
tory suffered from severe floods on
October 9 caused by the heavy rain
fall of twenty-four hours' duration.
Over six inches of rain fell in that
time and from all parts of the city
were received reports of flooded cel
lars, flooded sewers and Impassable
gutters. In other sections of tho vi
cinity the trains were stopped hy the
floods and great property damage oc
curred. The storm seems to have af
fected Pennsylvania and to have gone
s far south as portions of Virginia.

On October 8 it was announced from
apparently authorative sources that a
formidable Russian fleet, comprising
ninety warships of all classes, had left
Port Arthur for the south of Corea
where tho Japanese fleet has already
arrived. Sqveral brigades of Russian
troops have been moved forward to
the Qorean boundary, also, and it is
thought that this indicates some ac
tion in that quarter In relation to the
future of Corea.
