THB VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few Peonl Know. 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

it also appears thnt the Indictment wns
procured almost entirely upon the state
ment of Hllliiuss, who Is therein named,
thoUKh not Indicted, us a co-conspirator. 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 have very carefully nnd fully examined
Mr. IMIllnas about the transaction between

tively that tiotlilnif whatever wui said or
even Intimated between them at any time

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

either personally or by conspiracy, to bribe
Senator Dietrich In the performance of his

would he a wanton and cruel act of Injus

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.

WASHINGTON, Dee. 21. 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.

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.
