'In Prospect -
The refusal on the part of E. A. Wck
tain to accept" the return of the certified
check for 11.1.000 which he had deposited
with the rlty clerk at the time of sub
' mlttlns- hi Md for the 'conduction of the
proposed municlpa.1, water work plant, is
believed by"seversl of the city officials to
moan that Wlckham does not propose to
accept the summary rejrctlon of his bid
without a protest tri perhaps a Jaw suit
When City Clerk' Cassady, acting; under
the instructions as contained in the resolu
tion adopted by the city council st the
meeting Monday night tendered Wlckham
ths check yesterdsy afternoon, Wlckham
refnsrd to accept it.
"Well. I guess I will mall It to you," re
marks Mr. Cassady when Mr. Wlckham
persisted in Ms refusal' to accept the pleoe
of paper calling for nj.000.
"You must r.ot do that." declared Mr.
Wlckham. "You must get my receipt for
the check."
Later In .the afternoon Mr. Cassady de
cided to mall the check to Mr. Wlckham In
a registered lettter., When advised of tho
decision of the city clerk Mr. Wickham de
' els red that he would not accept or receipt
for the registered letter.
It Is understood that Mr. Wlckham will
not accept ths rejection of his bid by the
city council without some kind of a fight.
He contends that the action nf the city
council In rejecting his bid was Illegal In
view of the fact that a few weeks ago
the city council had' by resolution author
lied and Instructed the committee on water
works, of which Councilman Jensen Is
chairman, together with the city solicitor
and city engineer to enter Into a contract
with him on his bid of 1643.903.
At the meeting of the city council Tues
day night. September 8. while the bid of
Mr. Wlckham was not ordered rejected In
so many words, such action was practically
taken, however, when .he recommendation
of the committee of water works "that the
services of a competent engineer be ob
tained to further assist the city engineer
In revising the details of plans and specifi
cations for a water works system for the
city, with a view of readvertialng for com
petitive bids on such revised plana and
specifications for a water works plant,"
was unanimously concurred In.
The committee, of which Mr. Jensen "Is
chairman, however, after consulting with
the city solicitor, decided more definite
action In rejecting Mr. Wtckham's bid
nhould be taken, so at the meeting last
Monday night Introduced the resolution
calling r Its formal rejection which was
adopted without a dissenting vote.

Beauty and
Bad Breath
Cannot Go Together So Matter How a
Woman May Try to Make Them.
It does not-matter how beautiful a wo
man may be. If" she Is afflicted with' bad
breath she wlll 'be shunned and pitied by
men and aven women will studiously avoid
ber.
.. If any woman doubts this statement let
ber maka a point of asking a friend in
whom she may confide, a man friend or
relative. - If he be honsst hs will tell her
that fqul" breath from the mouth of a
woman will -drive men from her more
rapidly -than any other personal affliction.
' Foul breath arouse In man disgust and
where thla quality U brought. Into play
no amount of self-denial or reasoning can
overcome the natural repugnance which
eases to man w hen he Is in company with
such a woman. ,
What la true -of bad breath in woman
Is not true in so great a degree In men.
.Women 'are looked upon as the Incarna
tion of sweetness, breeding, virtue and
refinement. Foul breath will sicken a
man so that ha cannot feel for such a
woman a companionship necessary to
make him dealre to be in her company.
There la absolutely no occasion for bad
breath In either man or woman. Charcoal,
the' strongest absorbent known, when
taken into the stomach, will prevent this
lepugnant tendency or affliction.
Stuart's Charcoal Losengcs are sold in
tremendous quantities all over America
and Canada. They cure and have cured
all forms of bad .breath. .A single box
will convince you of this fact. One should
cat some of these loaenges after each
meal and upon retiring. You might eat
fifty of them without harm. They are
not medicine, but pure willow charcoal
mixed with sweet honey to make them
palatable and compressed Into a losenge
to preserva their peculiar and lasting
atrength. '
The next time you wish to go Into com
pany and don't want your foul breath to
humiliate you. eat several of Stuart's
Charcoal Loaengea and your breath will
bo pure and tweet.

LACEY OUT FOR SENATOR
Standpatter! Decided on Him at Can-
date for Allison's Succession.
ONLY TWO BALLOTS REQUIRED
Strong Sentiment for Congressman
Walter I. Smith, nnt He D. '
cllnea to Bo Considered
(or tno riace.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. Ia., Sept. 16. (Special
Telegram ) Ex-Congressman John F.
Lacey of Oskaloosa was today selected at
the standpat conference in tho Savoy here
as the candidate for the republican nom
ination for Vnlted States senator and his
name will go on the- primary ballot at
the time of the November election. Lacey
waa selected on the second ballot The
first vote was: Lacey, tt; E. E. Claras
of the Interstate Commerce commission,
IT; ex-State Senator Trewln, 12; Congress
man Blrdsall, 12; scattering, 24, the total
vote being 1(4. . The second ballot re
sulted, Lacey, 118; Clarke, 48, and the
rest scattering. . Then a motion to make
it unanimous was carried by acclamation.
When Congressman Smith of Council
Bluffs refused over the telephone to ac
cept It looked as though Clarke would be
selected. When, tho conference met in
the afternoon a letter from Clarke to
Governor Cummins giving the governor
his support was read and that settled
It Clarke's friends admit trrkt it de
feated him, though they maintain he is a
standpatter.
As soon as the vote was taken Lacey,
who was present at the conference, made
a short speech In which he told the con
ference that he proposed to make a clean
campaign, in which he would not at any
time attack his opponent, but would work
for the success of the enttre ticket Later
In the Savoy lobby he told different peo
ple the same thing and said that he be
lieved that Cummins would do the same
thing. This is all taken as being favor-,
able to the success of the entire state
ticket at the November election and espe
cially favorable to the election of a re
publican legislature.'
Forenoon for Talk.
The entire forenoon conference was spent
In listening to speeches while members from
the Ninth congressional district were en
deavoring to get In connection with Con
gressman Smith by telephone to find out
whether he would run. Near noon definite
word was received by Victor Bender, Sena
tor Saunders and others that he would
not run. Telegram from Secretary James
Wilson said he would not run and one from
ex-Secretary ' Shaw said he would not run
unless progressives as well as stand-patters
united on him. Ex-Governor Frank W.
Jackson said last Sunday that he would
not run and he has singe refused to re
consider the matter.
This narrowed the field. There was a
strong 'sentiment for Congressman 6mith
and if he had been willing he undoubtedly
would have been selected. The Ninth dis
trict men were much disappointed when
Smith refused and felt that he should have
consented.
The conference was called by Invitations
sent to ' those over the state who were
leaders In the campaign for Allison last
June. r.The conference was held In the' old
dining room of the Savoy and admittance
was by. ticket only, and in this way It is
known: that a little' over 300 were In at
tendance. O. F. McCord of Jasper county
wss made chairman and Frank Bennett
of Sioux City, secretary. Ex-Q)vernor
Frank p. Jackson of Des Moines, ex-Congressman
Lacey - of Oskaloosa. George D.
Perkins of Sioux City, Lafe Toung of Des
Moines, James G. BerryhlU of Des Moines,
Tob Smith of Harlan and ex-State Sena
tor J. W. Trewln of Cedar Rapids spoke In
the order named, and took up the time
from the meeting of the conference at a
little after 10 until noon, and the conference
then adjourned until 2 at which time It
was decided to take up the problem of unit
ing on a candidate for senator.

against the republicans, the democrat
would be elected. It haa been asserted

there Is, and produces the figures. Ho
shows that there are forty-four republican
memberr of the legislature now who were
elected .wo years ago, who would not have
been elected If ono good slsed precinct In

It Is necessary for but thirty-two to go

ception of the northwestern part of the
state the moisture has' been below normal,
which has done much toward ripening the
corn. 'Another week will ripen It beyond

COAL STOCKS SMALL IN WEST
Heavy Loss to Miners and Operntors
Resnlts from Strike In
Wyonilnw.
CHEYENNE. Wyo., Sept. IB. (Special.)
It Is two weeks now since the coal mine
strike, or lockout occurred, and although
both miners and operators were sanguinu
of an early settlement, there appears to be
no signs of a. resumption of work In the
larger collieries, although operations are
being carried on In a few mines with small
forces of men. The stocks of coal held by
dealers are getting smaller and smaller, and
In somq of the towns of the state the deal
ers have already Issued notices that not
more than a certain amount of coal will be
sold to any on purchaser at one time.
This Is to prevent persons from storing
large quantities for future use or for the
purpose of speculation.
Word from Aspen, east of Evanston, In
L'lnta county, stales that a small force
of men Is being worked by the Aspen Coal
company. Thfc property Is being operated
without machinery and the output Is small.
The coal m'nirs at Crosby, In Big Horn
county, struck on September 1. The coal
company Is working a small force of non
union men, and a few days ago the union
men attempted to prevent the strikebreak
ers from working. The authorities took a
hand and a serious fight was narrowly
averted. The output of this mine la also
very small.
Word from Kemmerer states that the
Frontier Coal company a few days ago
lost several contracts for supplying VUh
and Colorado mines,' and should the stria
be settled at once these mines will l
unable to employ more than one-half the
old force.
The Central Coal and Coke company's
properties near Rock Springs, are being
operated with a small force" of nonunion
men. The company Is making an effort
to Import a large number of nonunion men,
and If they do It Is feared there will be
trouble when they arrive. The company
claims It la necessary to employ nonunion
men and keep the mines going In order to
hold present contracts.
It Is figured thst during the two weeks'
Idleness the miners of Wyoming have lost
approximately (300,000 In wages, and the op
erators hav lost as much more.

"There Is no enthusiasm for Mr. Bryan
in New York or the east, and I forecast the
election of Mr. Taft."
This Is the statement of Frederick E.
Wadhams, democrat of Albany, N. T.,
treasurer of the American Bar asosclation,
secretary of the New York Bar associa
tion, secretary of the committee engaged
in codifying the New York state statutes,
and a prospective reporter of the New
York court of appeals which ranks In point
of prestige and renumeratlon next to the
United States court of appeals. Mr. Wad
hams spent a day ia , Omahu, enroute
home from the meeting, of the American
Bar association at Seattle. While In tho
city he was the guest of Ralph Brecken
rldge. . .
"True, future events may change the po
litical situation, but at present It looks as
though the republican candidate will be
elected to the presidency," said Mr. Wad
hams. "I tall to see an issue Mr. Bryan
can turn to for support and, while Judge
Parker (who Is not a politician) will give
him his support, the Nebraskan cannot
carry New York. 1 say this in the face of
a possibility of the democrats electing a
governor of our state this fall, on ac
count of the strong opposition among some
of the republican leaders to Mr. Hughes.
"Wall street, nt outs with President
Roosevelt, will not be for Bryan either;
the street hardly knows where to look for
aid and Mr. Bryan has been on the stage
too long to elicit much support, I think.
i "I am a democrat, have always been a
democrat, and would like to see the demo
cratic policies prevail; but I fall to see
how Mr. Bryan In the present campaign Is
going to capture the nomination."
Minnesota Is nepubllcan.
Another guest of Mr. Breckearldge
was Judge Isaac L. Mathan of St.
Paul, librarian of the United States
circuit court of appeals. The Judge was on
his way to Denver, where court cpens Mon
day. The library consists of U.OOO books,
half of which are kept in St. Paul and
half In St. Louis.
HVe have a peculiar situation In Minne
sota where a democrat was elected gover
nor In a republican state, but I th'nk this
will be changed this year," said tho Judge,
though' lie tempered his remarks with the
statement that the Judiciary is of a neces
sity divorced largely from politics and he
could not make statements as absolute
facts. I
"The republicans have nominated a
Scandinavian for governor this year, Jacob
F. Jacobaon, and he will divide the Scan
dinavian vote with Governor Johnson. The
Scandinavians cast nearly one-half the
vote In Minnesota and I look for our state
to go republican, both national and state,
this fall."

Holds Key.
. BERLIN. Sept. It. Andrew Csmogle has
written a letter from Sklbo irustle, Bcot
lsnd. ' to representative Richard Bartholdt
of Missouri, president of the American
grniip of Interparliamentary union, which
convenes in this city September 17, In
which he says:
"If I were In Berlin and had a word to
say my thoughts necessarily would flo
In one directional oannot eitcape the con
clusion that the' abollti)it cf wai among
civilized nations as a mode of settling In
ternational disputes. Is being easily ac
complished. There will be one man in
Berlin while your congress Is In session
who has only to speak ths word. If the
emperor of Germany ever realised his mani
fest destiny pence would follow. He has
it In his power to abolish war
among civilised nations. All he has
to do Is to ask Great Britain,
France and the United States to
unite with him In deolsrlr.g that since the
world has contracted to a "neighborhood"
and Is In constant and Instantaneous com
munication, one part with ths other, the
Interchange of products between them
emu inttng to thousands of millions a year,
the line has passed when any one civil
ised nation can be permitted to break that
peace In which all are so deeply Interested.
International disputes must be settled by
arbitration.
"Neither of tho threo countries itnil
mm u
could afford to reject this Invitation, and
the emperor would have performed a
service to the world unequalled by any
human bel.ig that ever lived.'.
."Whether his majesty 1 to 'fall In 'this
great mission and pass Into history as one
of a long line of rulers, not' men of achieve
ments, but on a of. title, or to awake soma
morning to his duty and perform his mis
sion, wo cannot tell, but, I shall hope that
the angel of the Lord will appear ualo
him."
