LEAVES WIFE AND FAMILY
Nothing Hai Been 8een of Henry J. Smith
Since Last Sunday.
FEARS HE MAY HAVE TAKEN HIS LIFE
Financial Tronble, Coupled with 111
Health, Has neen Causing;
Him Much Worry of
tnte.
Henry J. Smith, a carpenter and finan
cial secretary of the Trades and Labor
assembly, left his home at BIO Harrison
street la.t Sunday morning and has not
since returned. His continued absence has
led his family and friends to fear that he
may have met with some mishap, or In a fit
of despondency over financial troubles
taken his life. The afternoon of last Sun
day Smith was seen lit the ball game at
Lake Manawa, but since then no trace of
his whereabouts has been found.
I'ntll lately Smith had not been able to
secure steady employment at his trade and
his wife's Illness, necessitating a serious
surglc.il operation at the Woman's Chris
tian association hospital, had Involved him
In financial troubles and It Is said this
caused him to drink heavily.
On the Fourth Smith went to the ball
game at Manawa, promising to return
homo In time to attend his wife while
their daughter went to spend the afternoon
with friends. He failed to return at the
time promised and his wife reproached him.
In answer to her upbraiding Smith said
"WeB. never mind. I won't be here many
more days for you to scold."
The next morning Smith arose earlier
than usual and sat on the porch of the
houso reading the paper. About S O'clock
ho left the house and since then Ms wife
and daughter havo not seen him. Smith
had been employed on the office building
being erected by Dr. Hombach on First
avenue, but Inquiry there showed that he
had not returned to work there Monday,
although he had not taken his tools away.
Smith, his wife states, had been In poor
health for some time past, and this, with
his other troubles, added to his despond
ency. Men who are well acquainted with
him, however, scout the idea that ne may
have committed suicide. They give It as
their opinion that he had been drinking
more heavily than usual and that he has
gone somewhere to straighten up
As financial secretary of the Trades and
Labor assembly Smith turned over the
money In his bands each meeting night of
the assembly to the treasurer, and as he
was scrupulously honest. It Is not thought
that his accounts are short, although his
books have not yet been checked over.
Mrs. 8mlth and her daughter are left
entirely dependent upon the good will of
.d unle
their friends, and unless Smith returns
home In a few days they will be compelled
to leave their present residence and go to
the home of Mrs. Smith's father, east of
the city. The missing man 1 about 38
yoars of age. ,

To Care for the Bodies.
RAWLINS. Wyo., July 11. (Special.)
Undertaker Rarsmusson and his assistants
went to Hanna today to be In readiness
t. care for the bodies of the dead miners
as they are removed from the workings.
It has been arranged to dress the victims
as well as possible under the circumstances
and place the temalns In caskets Imme
diately, burial to occur as soon thereafter
as possible. By so doing, the widows and
children will be spared much of the grief
that would naturally result were the bodies
to be placed In Finnish hall, as was orig
inally Intended. Every possible effort will
be made to Identify the remains, so that
tholr graves can be correctly marked, but
n many cases It will probably be Impos
sible to Identify the bodies. It Is said that
the bodies are In a bodly decomposed con-
dltlon. having lain In the mine for ten days
and this fact will necessitate Immediate
burial.

FLOODS SETTLE TROUBLES
Wa-hing Out of Bonaparte Dam Ends a
Long Contiotersy.
SENATORIAL DEADLOCK IS IN SIGHT
Superintendent of Independence la
sane Asylum Presents fleport
on the Strike of the
Attendants.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DCS MOINES, July 11. lepeclal.) A new
turn has been taken In the matter of the
long-time controversy between tho fisher
men of the state of Iowa and the owners
of the famous old dam at Bonaparte, In the
Dca Moines river, and the representatives
of the sportsmen claim that the good work
done by the Des Molncs river In its floods of
this year has given the state an advantage
that It never could have obtained In any
other way. Nearly all of the dam was car
ried out by the flood and If It ts to be of use
it will have to be rebuilt, or practically
made new. It Is planned, In fact, that a
new dam shall be made of rew and different
material, but as the water In vhe river has
continued high, work will not be possible
this seascn. In the meantime the con
demnation suit of the state for the right of
a flshway over the old dam Is pending In
court. The washing away of the dam
would necessitate another and different con
demnation rase. But the attorneys have
Investigated and have reached the conclu
sion that the laws forbid the construction
or reconstruction of a dam without a fish-
way, nd that If the owners of the dam at
tempt to rebuild It without first providing
for a flshway they will be enjoined by the
courts. In this way the state will be able
to force the owners to provide a flshway
without paying the award of $40,000 for the
privilege of erecting a $1,000 flshway over
the dam All the litigation of the past
was ended because It was held that as the
dam had been constructed already nothing
could be done, but In case of rebuilding or a
r.ew dam the new laws would apply.
Senatorial Convention Called.
The call haa Just been Issued for the
senatorial convention In Ihe Forthy-seventh
district, which will be at Spencer July 22.
The delegates have all been selected. The
counties In the district are: Kossuth, 13;
Palo Alto, 9; Clay, t; Dickinson, 7; Emmet,
T. There Is a prospect of an Interesting
mlxup at the convention. The Kossuth
delegation Is for A. D. Clarke of Algona.
The Emmet delegation Is for the renomlna
tlon of Dr. Bachman of Esthervllle. The
Palo Alto delegation was picked by A. L.
Kinney or raito Alto county, who Is a
candidate for representative In the Clay-
Palto Alto district. By controlling thl
delegation he can also control Clay county
for the senate If he chooses to be a candl
date for that place. The decision will.
therefore, rest with Dickinson county
Three counties must combine before there
can be a decision. The contest has some
elements of bitterness and the convention
will be a lively one.
Report on Independence Strike.
The State Board of Control today re
celved from Superintendent W. P. Crum
packer, superintendent of the state hos
pltal at Independence, a report on the strike
of hospital attendants there. The employ
ment of attendant and all employes Is left
entirely to the control of the superintend
ents and the board has no authority what'
ever over them, but. Dr. Crumpacker re
ported the Incident so there would be no
misunderstanding. He writes, that on
Wednesday evening at 9:45 o'clock eighteen
of the employes came to him In a body and
announced that unless they could secure $2
a month Increase In pay they would quit
once. They seemed to think that the hos
pital could not be run for a single night
without them. Dr. Crumpacker told them
their pay checks would be ready the next
morning, ami the eighteen were discharged,
as was also one other who had prepared to
quit at the same time. The superintendent
states that the majority of them were
sorry they lost their popitiona, but had been
led Into It by n few. Ho commenced filling
their positions ss rapidly as possible and
this was not difficult, as there were many
who could bo shifted from other depart
ments. He Is experiencing no trouble on
account of the walkout. Chairman Cownle
says that there has been no reduction In
the pay of the employes; that they are paid
from $20 to $30 a month, according to ability
which Is as high as has been paid at anr
time In the past. T

have recently been dug up In the heart of
Paris. The distinguished French archeol
oglst, Charles Magne, has made excava
tions :n the Rue Casslnl, where he had
long suspected there lay the remains of
old Roman glories. He discovered the cover
of a tomb on which Is sculptured In bas
relief a Roman blacksmith, wearing his
apron. In his left hand he brandishes a
long pair of pinchers and a forcep. The
right arm Is broken off, but probably held
a hammer.

PARIS, July ll.-(New York World Ca
blegramSpecial Telegram.) A rich In
habitant of the town of Mtrecourt, France,
has Just left that city a legacy of $40,000,
with a rather singular proviso attached
A portion of It must be appropriated to two
statues for the city, one to be a replica of
Fremlet's Joan of Arc and the other an
equestrian statue of Pasteur.
T ie latter seemed so extraordinary a con
dition to put the philanthropist savant on
horseback, when his field of action was al
ways the laboratory that the city did not
wholly respect it. The compromise made
by the authorities was to order a bust of
Pasteur, and It Is hoped this change will
not disturb the rest of the city's bene
factors. FIND CLOTHING A HANDICAP

man women, both accomplished swimmers,
anxious to learn how far a woman Is han
dicapped by her clothing when she falls
overboard, arrayed themselves In evening
dress, doncd hat and Rloves and mantle
and then threw themselves Into the water.
Members of the swimming club to which
they belong, watched the experiment and a
canoe followed them.
The swimmers decided that though a
woman's clothes buoy ln-r up at the out

obstacle to swimming once they become
heavy with water. Corsets, they pronounce
the most serious handicap, making a strong
stroke a practical Impossibility.

TMB VALUB OP CHARCOAL.
Few Pooplo Know How Useful It Is la
Preserving Health and Beauty. ,
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal U
the safest and most efficient disinfectant
and purifier In nature, but few realise IU
value when taken Into the human system
, r0r 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 Impurl-
uea always present In the stomach and In-
lestlnes and carries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after amok-
Ing and drinking or after eating onions and
other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and Improves -the
complexion. It whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
It absorbs the Injurious gases whro col
lect In the stomach and bowels; It disin
fects the mouth and throat from the poison
of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal In one form or
another, but probably the best charcoal and
the most for the money Is Stuart's Ab
orbant Lozenges; they are composed of the
finest powdered willow charcoal and other
harmless antiseptics In tablet form, or,
lather. In the form of large, pleasant tast
ing lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
The dally use 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 It
Is, that no possible harm can result from
their continued use, but, on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician. In speaking of the
benefits of charcoal, says: "I advlsi
Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to all patients
Suffering from gas In the stomach and bow
els, and to clear the complexion and purify
the breath, mouth and throat; I also be
lieve the liver Is greatly benefited by tho
daily use of them; they cost but twenty-fivo
tente a box at drug stores, and although in
some sense a patent preparation, yet I be
lieve I get more and better charcoal In
Stuart's Absorbent Losenges than In any of
the other charcoal tablets."
