EVERYONE REFUSES TO GET SCARED Par Officials Art Caaeeraa, Will Leftlalatar DI4 r Did Sot Do oa Salaries Is Immaterial. With the possible exception of Mr. Hitch cock and others closely related to him In an endeavor to make some campaign thun der, excitement over what the legislature did or did not do on the matter of fixing salaries of county officers Is nil. The county officers In Omaha said by the World-Herald to be affected and nearly scared to death refuse, with a stoicism that Is painful, to get excited or even Interested over the matter. The general opinion expressed was that the legislature did not Intend to single out any group of officers for a Reduction in salary, but that it did Intend to Increase the salary of the treasurer In counties hav ing between 25.000 and 60,000 Inhabitants. County Judge-elect Leslie said: "That amendment does not affect the office of county judge. Even If the salary were cut by the amendment, there is further provision that the county Judge shall have fees up to the smount of $3,600," Deputy County Clerk Butler said: "We hold the amendment does .not affect our office one way or another.' We are paying no attention to it at all.- If need be, we will fall back on the lime-honored defense of all good men and hold the law unconstitutional." County Treasurer Fink said: "I havs been too busy to pay any attention to the matter; but you can say for me that what ever the law Is it will be obeyed by the county treasurer. Further than that I have nothing to say now." One of Sheriff Power's deputies said: "We are not worrying at all. . This office considers the law plain with reference to the compensation of the sheriff, and we are living up to Its provisions. Someone will have to show us if we are drawing mora money than the law allows. Wo rather think the shoe is on the other foot. with the county holding up and disallowing bills which a judge of the district court says there Is st least a strong moral ob ligation to pay." One of the judges of the district court said: "As the amendment stands It apparently applies only to county treasurers, but it is difficult for anyone to say Just what the legislature did mean Bo far as I can see the old section is re-enacted In toto, with the exception that the words 'and less than 80,000 inhabitants' are Inserted In the clause referring to county treasurer." .1407 Harney St., Tel. 1625 Omaha MORTGAGE WILL BE BURNED Last Vestlsre.of Debt of Secoad Pres byterian t hareh la to Go j t' In Smoke.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL Few People Kwow How tsofol It Is Preserving; Health aaa Beaatr. Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is the safest and most efficient disinfectant and 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 sating onions and other odorous vegetables. . Charcoal effectually clears and Improves the complexion. It whitens the teeth and further acta as a natuial and eminently safe cathartic It absorbs the Injurious gases which col lect in ths 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 In Stuart's Char coal Losenges; they are composed of the finest powdered willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics In tablet form, or rather In ths form of large, pleasant tasting lotenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey. The daily 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 ran result from their continued use, but on the contrary, great benefit. A Buffalo physician, 'In speaking of the benefits of ' charcoal, says: "1 advise Stuart's Charcoal Loxenges to all patients suffering from gas In stomach and bowels, and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; I also believe the Irver 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 Losf-nges than In any of the or dinary charcoal tablets."

OWNER NOT BOUND FOR RENT Water Boaral Attorneys Advise Real Estate Exchange as to Per tinent Question. After consulting for advice with John L. Webster and Carl C. Wright, attorneys for the water board in Its litigation with the Omaha-Water company, and also with War ren Swltxler, the committee appointed by the Omaha Real Estate exchange to look Into the matter reports that the water company cannot hold property owners for water rent In cases where the water has been turned on at the request of the tenant, The committee further reports: "We are of the opinion the water com pany has no legal right whatever to its contention that the property owner Is holden for back water taxes, especially when It has turned on the water and recog nised the tenant In accepting money for same. We would recommend a subscrip tion be raised among the members of tha exchange or any property own ers concerned In their unjust charges sufficient to make a test - case of It, and that the Real Estate exchange lend Its moral support to this suit, if the attor ney taking the case is satisfied a judgment in favor of the property owner Is prac tically assured, and such judgment will end further annoyance on the part Of the Water Company."
