LINCOLN. Dec. 14. (Special.) By unani
mous vote this afternoon the attorney
general was selected by the county at
torneys In convention here to look after
the Interests of the counties affected by
the temporary restraining order secured
by the Burlington and Union Pacific rail
roads, to prevent the collection of their
taxes other than the amount offered by
the roads to the county treasurers. Deputy
Attorney General Norrls Brown, who will
succeed General Prout the first of the
year, was given permission by the attor
neys to select his own assistants and tha
attorneys agreed to sea that their counties
mould pay their prorata part of tha ei
pense attached thereto. While the attor
neys failed to recommend any one to Mr.
Urown, leaving him free to select his
own assistants unhampered, lfwas freely
talked among them that former Chief Jus
tire Sullivan would make him a good
helper. Mr. Brown has not decided whether
he will need an assistant, but In oil prob
ability he WI1L
No plan has yet been outline! by the
attorney general to dnfend the cases and
It Is not likely that anything will be done
until after the holidays, probably about
the second week In January, even though
the hearing has been set for December 27.
One plan of procedure on the part of the
state's attorneys will be to fight the grant
ing of a temporary injunction to take the
place of tha temporary restraining order.
This can be done by the filing of affi
davits together with the records of the
Btata Board of Equalization, whicli will
deny each and every allegation or the
railroads.. This will raise a question of
fact and the answer day will not be un
til some time in February, giving the at
torney general plenty of time to get up
Ms answer.
A lot of time waa taken up In discussing
a mode of procedure, which finally left
the matter to the attorney general. County
Attorney-elect Slabaugh of Omaha moved
that a committee of three be appointed,
who, together with the attornoy general,
should look after the entire matter. This
was discussed for a long time and was
killed by the amendment to turn the mat
t. r over to the legal head of tha state.
Among the county attorneys present
mere: F. J. Taylor of Howard, J. B. Porter
of Dawes, T. D. Meese of Wheeler, John
Jtaper of Pawnee, Jesse Root of Cass, J.

tional good roads committee, declared In
his address this afternoon that the road
laws of the state of Nebraska are waste

should bs gradually revised and made more
practically modern and economical. On the
great basic principle that the road is tha
very first in the list of public utilities, af
fecting the social, business, religious and
intellectual divisions of the human organ
ism. It should receive the very wisest and
best attention. The Ideal condition is per
fection, and though this cannot be obtained
at once, the experience of older states and
older nations should be called upon to
furnish patterns for the highways admin

THE VALUE OF CRAHCOAL
Few People Kmw How t sefal It Is la
Preserving Health ltd Beaoty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal I
the safest and most efficient disinfectant
snd 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 yon
take of It the better; It Is not a drug at all,
but simply absorbs tha gosos and Impuri
ties always present In the stomach and
Intestines and carries them out of the
system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok
ing, drinking or after eating onions and
other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and Improve
the complexion. It whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
It absorbs the injurious gases which col
lect In the stomach and bowels; It disin
fects the mouth and throat from the poison
or rather in the form of large, pleasant
of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal In one form
or another, but probably the best charcoal
snd the most for the money is In Stuart's
Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of
J the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and
l other harmless antiseptics In tablet form.
tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
The daily use of these lucenges will soon
tell In a much Improved condition of the
general health, better complexion, sweeter
breath and purer blood, and the beauty ol
It is, that no possible harm can result from
their continued use, but on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of tin
benefits of charcoal, says: "I advise
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients
suffering from gas In stomach and. bowels,
and to clear the complexion and purify the
breath, mouth and throat; I ulso believe
the liver Is greatly benefited by the dally
use of them; they cost but twenty-five
cents a box at drug stores, and although
in some sense a patent preparation, yet I
believe I get more and better charcoal In
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than In any of
tho ordinary charcoal tablets.'
of battle, as well as at home. Is In a bad
way, and reports have reached the office
of the adjutant general lately that It was
in a fair way to disband and be known of
soldiers no more. The reason of all this Is
the cost of rent that is annually being
paid for an armory. Should the company
dlHband it would be a great blow to the
adjutant general, and for that reason he la
anxious that the Omaha companies secure
the help of enterprising citizens and buy
an armory. Lvery year there la paid out
in Omaha in armory rent SI. 400 and of
this amount the soldier boys have to pay
out of their own pockets S1.1U0 and the
state pays the remainder. General Culver
is of the opinion that this money should
be paid out In the purchase of an armory
for all the companies, and the work he
has already done to enlist the good offices
of man of money In Omaha will be renewed
and every effort will be put forth to get
tho armory and save the gallant Thurston
Rifles boys. -

Debarred from Practice.
WILBER, Neb.. Dec. 14. (Speclal.)-In
the case of the State against W. L. Newby
that has been engaging the attention of
the court and Jury since Monday, the de
fendant la charged with having forged at
Coyle, O. T., on June 16, 19X1, the name of
Charles E. Jennings to a deed conveying
certain lots in Friend to Malinda Smiley,
snd with having the deed in his possession
and uttering and publishing the same in
Saline county, Nebraska, with intent to
defraud one Joseph R. Jennings. The Jury
returned a verdict of guilty on the first
and third counts. Motion was made for
arrest of judgment and arguments will be
heard on January, Newby being out on
bond.
Judge Hurd gave Ills decision debarring
W. L. Newby from further privileges as
an attorney. Some time ago a complaint
was made by George A. Taylor, charging
Newby with improper conduct as an attor
ney, and the court appointed J. H. Grimm,
R. M. Proudflt and R. J. Abbott as a com
mittee of the bar to take evidence. The
committee reported adversely to Newby at
the last term of court. Judge Hurd pre
faced his decision, which will 'be found
In the court report, with some Impressive
remarks. He said he had never been In
any doubt about confirming the report of
the committee, and the only reason he had
not done so before this was that he did
not wish to take any action that might
prejudlco the defendant's right to a fair
trial in the criminal case.
