F. Chetterton, secretary of state and
formtr governor of Wyoming . and chief
stockholder In the Saratoga aV Grand En
campment railroad, waa In Omaha Wednes
day and la m enthusiastic aa ever over th
future of hie atat.
"The population of Wyomlnc at preaent
Is but 120,000 for the entire area of OT.KX)
square miles, and we eatlmate the state haa
sufficient mineral and agricultural resources
to sustain 6,000,000 people," said Mr. Chat-
terton. "The state at preaent has more at'
tractive features than either Michigan,
Illinois, Iowa or Wisconsin had in 1850, aa
well as having more mllea of railroad. It
Is covered with fertile valleys suitable for
farming, and. the rolHng hills furnish most
excellent gracing landa for both cattle and
sheep. The climate of .Wyoming cannot be
beat and the soil In many places Is a light
sandy loam, with a good subsoil In the up
land and In the valleys haa a dark rich ap
pearajjee, which produces most bountiful
cropa of cereals and vegetables.
"n Wyoming are 4S,00O,00O acres of land
subject to entry under the government land
laws and over IO,OC0,600 aores of this la sult
able for agricultural purposes when prop
erly irrigated. Wyoming and tne rortn
Hlatte project Will secure the benefits of
most of the money set aside by the govern
ment for Irrigation . purposes. It Is esti
mated the United States government will
during the next decade expend over $10,-
uoo.OUO In carrying out Irrigation projects
which already have been submitted for con
sideration.
"Railroad building Is rapidly being pushed
along the frontier and several lines are
stretching out Into this vast territory.
"The announcement was made aome daya
ago that Eureka, Cel., had been aaked to
vote bonds aa a bonus for a road to be
built from Eureka to Casper, Wyo. Of
course we think this Is the Northwestern,
whloh Is now building on west to Lander,
but It la a question If this road will be
' built in time for the opening of the Sho
shone reservation."

"The land on the Shoshone reservation
will be opened for settlement by the gov

the neighborhood of 100,000 people will go
to Wyoming to partake In the drawing.
aald ha. 'Two railroads .are hustling to
complete their lines as near aa possible to
this reservatlpn to be In condition to handle
this vast army when the time lor the draw

fast on Its line from Casper to Lander and
every few daya announces the opening of
a new station as the road Is built on to the
west. The' Burlington is hustling Its road
from Franme to Worland as fast as 1,000

SUTTON CONSIDERS PROTESTS
Clvle Federatlaa Attorney aa City

Judge Sutton has taken under advise

matter of Issuing a mandamue to compel
the Board of Fire and Police Commission.
ers to writs out and furnish transcripts of
proceedings before them, sitting, ss a li
cense board, In something like 170. cases.
In these cases the protests of the Clvle
Federation were overruled and the licenses
were granted.
Attorney Thomas appeared for the Clvlo
Feratlon and set up four reasons why.
In his view, the order should Issue. First,
the clerk of the board must make the same
without pay, on demand; second the board
should have had the evidence extended and
placed on file; third, the board must pro
ceed with diligence in getting out such rec
ord; fourth, that the board had no author
ity to give the licenses, when it had notice
of appeal, pending the settlement of such
appeal, and the licenses so granted should
be revoked by the court until final settle
ment of the rights of parties In the cases
appealed.
Mr. Thomas put A. R. Harvey, clerk of
the board, and Charles Potter, stenogra
pher, on the stand as witnesses. Mr. Har
vey and the attorney could not agree as to
the exact wording of conversations between
them on the subject. The clerk stuck to
the assertion that the conversations had
been general as to what the cost would be,
also that Mr. Thomas had not expressly
offered to pay for the work and had not
specified what papers he wanted or in what
cases.
Mr. Potter read a stipulation entered Into
between attorneys at the meeting at which
thirty test cases were triud..
City Attorney Breen was willing to rest
on the evidence developed In the question
ing of the clerk, but the Civic Federation
attorney argued at length his claims as
set forth above. His argument stirred the
city attorney to also talk and the whole
afternoon was spent In loud conversation.
Various attorneys for the brewing Inter
ests were present to look after the Inter
eats of their clients as they might arise,
and from their seats they made a few sug
gestions as the argument progressed.
The gist of Mr. Breen's contention was
that if a transcript Is made and furnished
for the purpose of taking appeals the same
must be paid for. He also contended no
showing waa made sufficient to entitle re
lator to the order prayed for.
Mr. Thomas argued that, he had first of-
ferad to pay a .reasonable .fee, but now he 'j
stood on the proposition that he Is entitled '
to the transcripts without the payment of
any fee.

It 'begins to look as it Deputy United

cated to Marshal Warner he might aa well
be casting around for a successor to him.
The departmental disapproval of Mr.
Allan's reappointment haa not yet been re
ceived by Marshal Warner, but reasona
prevail that such aa Intimation Is now on
tha way to Marshal Warner's office. The
story that Allan was to be let out has
been no secret at the federal building for
several days and In the meanwhile Mr.
Allan has been making a little hay for
himself. Monday he was made a special
in the secret service department at the
stipend of 13 per day.
"While I have not been officially notified
that I have got to go, I have been looking
for It for aome time," said Mr. Allan, "and
have been preparing for the event so as to
be ready when It does come. I know I
have been the subject of considerable criti

not expect otherwise. However, I shall not
resign under fire, for I am not afraid to
have my record as an officer looked Into.

TIIE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Kaew Haw I serai It la
Preaervlaar Health aa Hraaty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is
the safest and moat 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 amok
Ing, 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
eafa cathartic.
It absorbs the Injurious gases which col
lect In the stomach and bowels; it disin
fects the mouth end throat from the poison
of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form or
another, but probably the best charcoal and
the moat for the money Is in Btuurt s Char
coal Leaenges; they are composed of the
finest powdered willow charcoal, and other
harmless antiseptics in . tablet form, or
rather In the form of large, pleasant tasting
losenges, the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
The daily use of these losengea will soon
tell In a much improved condition of the
general health, better complexion, sweeter
breath and purer blood, and the beauty of
It la 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 advise
Stuart's Charcoal Losenges 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 liver Is greatly benefited by tho daily
use of them; they cost but twenty-live cents
a box at drug stores, and although In soma
sense a patent preparation, yet I believe I
get more and better charcoal In Stuart's
Charcoal Losenges than in any of the or
dinary charcoal tablets." .

THER OrriCIAL CHANGES TAKE PLACE
Mr. Kaha leaves Company with
Which He Has Beea Many
Tears to Engage la
Private Baalaeaa.
Following the announcement that J. A.
Kubn was to sever hla connection ' with
the Northwestern railroad to engage In
other business in Omaha, comes the official
announcement of the Northwestern of the
resignation of Mr. Kuhn as well aa
the announcement of the appointment of his
successor. The other changes announced
to take effect January IS are: 8. F. Miller,
assistant general freight and passenger
agent, Omaha, succeeding J. A. Kuhn; H.
W. Beyers, asststsnt general freight ngent,
headquarters Chicago; J. 8. Talbot, assist
ant general freight agent, headquarters
Chicago; T. 8. Rattle, general agent, Colorado-Utah
territory, office, Denver, Colo.,
succeeding D. H. Hoops, transferred; D.
H. Hoops, general agent, freight depart
ment, office 310 Clark street, Chicago, suc
ceeding H. W. Beyers.
S. F. Miller, who succeeds Mr. Kuhn, Is
do stranger to many of the shippers Of this
city, as he has been here on numerous oc
casions and la well liked wherever he hat
been. Mr.-Miller Is fin example of the way
a man may rise In the railroad world by a
strict attention to the buslneas of the com
pany. He was first started In railroad work
as a telegraph operator for the Northwest
ern In 1880, and from that position was pro
moted to be station agent at several smaller
stations until 1897, when he was made gen
eral agent at Oshkosh. In 1902 he was
called Into tho Chicago offices as assistant
general freight agnt. and It waa In this
position that he formed tho acquaintance
of so many Omaha men who do business
with the Northwestern. This promotion Is
one well deserved and the commercial In
terests will be glad to welcome Mr. Miller
to Ms new position.
Great Westera Denies It.
"The rumor that the Great Western will
continue Its rate of S't cents to Chicago
after January 15 Is all wrong," said H. H.
Churchill, general ngent for the Great
Western at Omaha. "Aa announced In The
Bee two days ago and carried by the Asso
ciated Press Wednesday morning, the fight
over 1 cent on grain for the east has been
the cause of the breakup of the rate busi
ness, or rather the cause of the roads going
back to the sum of the two locals by which
rate all roads have agreed to abide. The
eastern roads refused to accept any part
of the cut of 1 cent required to make the
rule 21V cents Instead of 22i cents from
Omaha to Baltimore, which is the sum of
the two locals. The basis which had been
agreed upon was a differential of cents
over the lS-cent gulf rote, but the lines
east of Chicago would not participate In
the cut. It will not affect Omaha very long
anyway, tiecause It Is Impracticable to ship
via the southern ports much after Feb
ruary, and I think Nebraska corn will con
tinue to move Just the same."
Several Have Galf Cutlets.
Several of the lines to the east have Gulf
outlets for the grain from this section.
The Northwestern recently has established
a . new route whereby It hauls the corn to
Dixon, 111., which Is on the main line of the
Illmois Central, and delivers It to this road
for shipment to th'e Gulf ports. The Bur
lington has an established route whereby
It can haul grain from Nebraska and deliver
it to the Illinois Central at Centralla, III.,
thus getting a much longer haul than II
delivered at Kansas City or 8t.: Louis, and
also thus avoiding the crowded terminals of
East St. Louis, wehre cars are laways de
