Counsel for ADVERTISEMENTS, THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL. ¥Few People Know How Useful It Is in Preserving Health and ‘Beauty. Nearly everybody knows that char- ccal is the safest and most efficient | disinfectant and purifier in nature, but few realize its value when taken Into the human system for'the same cleans- | ing purpose. Z 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 intestines and carries them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking" or after eating ovlons and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and im- proves the complexicn, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural ang eminently safe cathartic. e It absorbs the injurious gases whic collect in the stomach and bowels; it disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. Y2 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money s in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; 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 lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey. The daily use’ of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condi- tion of the general health, better com- plexion, sweeter - breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it is that no possible harm can result from thetr continued use, Hhut on the contrary, great benefit. i A Buffalo physician, in speaking of the bLenefits of charcoal, says: “I ad- vise Stuart’s Charcoal Lozenges to all patientsrsuffering from gas in stomach and bowels, and to clear the com- plexion and ?uflrr the breath, mouth and throat; I also believe the liver is greatly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores, and, although 1. some gense a patent preparation, yet J believe 1 get more and better char- coal in Stuart’s Charcoal Lozenges charcoal than in an- of the ordinary tablets.” | ers met last night. | of this ity.

Instiuctions Said to Have Been Given English Squadron. LONDON; Nov. 3. — It is an- nounced from Gibraltar that the ex- periment in land and sea mobilization is now concluded According to a story published in the Chronicle, this alarming experiment was the outcome of néw ideas which Admiral Sir John Fisher has ken to the admiralty. | His contention is that the vessels in time of peace are much less valuable than when war is‘in the air. Accord- ingly, the Chrénicle says, he seized upoh the incidents of Tuesday as an opportunity. to test the nerves as well as the skill and efliciency of the forces, It i reported that the Channel, Me erranean and East Indian squad- ro: have received instructions to shadow Admiral Rojestvensky's fleet throughout its progress. Admiral Ro- jestvensky is expected to arrive at Tangier this morning. A British man- of-war at Malta is busily coaling, pre- paring to watch the Baltic squadron. The Daily Mail, in a letter from Hakodate, describes Japanese schoon=- ers as returning with valuable car- goes of furs, the result of raiding the Russian fishing station at Kamchatka, Commander and other island rook- eries. There was fierce fighting with the Russians and many were killed on both sides. In one case, after a fight lasting three days, the Russians cap- tured three Japanese vessels, killing half their crews and taking the re- mainder prisoners. et AR Zilinsky to Be Promoted. | ST.

The Board of Election Commissioners cares little for a braying press, but deplores the fact frenzied editors, themselves overwheimed by a Iifetime spent In sin and blackmail, can enlist the sacred fun the ministry In their unholy, unchaste eal warfare.

Little |news has been received from Muk- den, General Sakharoff's telegram of matters were at a deadlock around Shakhe. The Japanese have made some fentative moves on both flanks, which were checked, but there are no army. General Sakhuroff telegraphs the Japanese have reeccupied the vil- lage of Sandiapu, near the Hun River, in front of the Russian right flank. TOKIO, Nov. 2.—Manchurian head- quarters, in a report dated November 1, says: “On the afternoon of October 80, in front of the left detachments of the left army, a force of the enemy con- sisting of a regiment of infantry, three regiments of cavalry and two battal- fons of artillery advanced from Lite- wentun, Hansantai and the northward. Our detachment, after a hard fight, succeeded in repulsing the enemy. Our while the enemy’s cavalry lost heavily. directions and in disorder, leaving thirteen dead. The left column of the left army on the night of Octo- ber 30, seized and burned a village about 400 yards northwest of Cheng- lienpao.” GENERAL OKU’'S. HEADQUAR- TERS, Tuesday, Nov. 1.—There is little change in the positions of the Japanese and Russian armies. On Sunday last detachments composed of Russian in- fantry and Don Cossacks attacked the Japanese cavalry on the extreme left, along the Hun River, but were driven back, leaving twenty dead soldiers and thirty horses. This is the first time that the Cossacks of the Don have taken part in the operations. The Japanese line now follows the bank of the Shakhe River except on the extreme left, where river.

The constant exchange of |.shots between the ogtposts continues | dally. The Russian casualties from | sniping are large. The Chinese are busy carting in grain along and between the .lines of both armies, and are almost indifferent to the shooting. e e SOCORE INJURED IN BATTLE OF STUDENTS AND POLICE Fierce Fight Takes Place on Steps of Massachusetts Institute of ' ’l‘e(-hnoloxy‘. BOSTON, Nov. 3.—At least twenty- five persons were injured during a clash between students of the Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology and police reserves shortly after midnight. Of the number twenty are students. Most of the injuries consist of scalp wounds and body bruises. Four stu- dents and four officers were so seri- ously injured as to necessitate their removal to hospitals. Others were treated at near by drug stores and private residences. Those sent to hos- pitals were: Students Herbert G. Spear, Frederick Backman, Vietor Gebnor, H. C. Higgins; Policemen B. R. Olds. William A. Donahue, F. G. Rich, C. B. Kelley. Many others, whose wounds were dressed on the spot, left for their homes without giving their names. The trouble occurred om the steps of Rogers Hall, one of the Technology buildings, on Boyleston street, where the students-had gathered, following the parade of the Republican clubs of Harvard University and the Institute of Technology. The police had deter- mined to keep the students from the steps. of the building and when the college men made a rush up the steps they were met by the officers with drawn clubs and a fierce fight ensued. The officers used their clubs freely end soon many of the college men were bleeding from wounds on the face and head. Hundreds of students hurried to the support of their fel- lows and the police summoned assist- ance, with the result that soon 160 po- licemen were engaged with four times as many students.

TR AND POSSE ¥ BATTLE Several Fierce Encounters With Bandits, Who Tried to Rob the Bank at Cody, Take Place in Wyoming CODY, Wyo., Nov. 2.—Several bat- tles have been fought between the posse and the outlaws who attempted to rob the First National Bank of Cody yesterday afternoon and who murdered the cashier. The bandits are still at large, although their capture or death is but a matter of a, few hours. At dawn to-day the officers came upon the bandits in camp on the Gray Bull River, sixty-five miles from the scene of last evening’s battle. The robbers refused to surrender and put up a hard fight. The horse of one of the officers was killed and some of the men had narrow escapes. The robbers succeeded in getting away. The posse followed slowly. The outlaws were again overtaken on Enos Creek, thirty miles from Megteetee and eighty miles from Cody, and another fight occurred. One of the bandits was wounded in the thigh, i but his companions hoisted him into | his saddle and after a running fight for four miles the outlaws again got away. A courfer came in to-night with the news that the murderers had been sur- rounded in a forest on Cottonwood Creek and that their capture is likely to oceur at any time. The outlaws had been called upon to surrender, but re- fused to come forth. The timber will be closely guarded during the night and the outlaws will probably be taken or killed by morn- ing. If captured they will be taken to Cody and a lynching may result. Colonel Cody arrived at Cody this evening with his Indlan trailers, scouts and cowboys, accompanied by a party of Bnglish noblemen and New York clubmen. Cody will take the trail of the outlaws at once. His guests have been invited to accompany him and some of the younger men of the party will accept. | OPIUM FIEND ESCAPES AFTER COMMITTING MURDER Outs the Throat of & Ranch Hand in b a Dixon Saloon and Then Gets Away. | SACRAMENTO, Nov. 2.—Charles | Hourigan, a. ranch hand, was mur- dered to-night in the town of Dixon, Solano County, by an opium flend named George Hanscom. Hourigan’s throat was slashed from ear to ear with a razor wielded by Hanscom. Hourigan was sitting in a saloon when Hanscom entered and without any warning walked up to Hourigan, pulled out a razor and began cutting his throat. Hourigan was unable to defend himself and fell to the floor, bleeding badly from his wounds. He | dled soon after. About a week ago Hanscom and Hourigan had some trouble in the | same saloon and Hanscom was cut on the left wrist. Hanscom was arrested ! and ordered to leave town. He was | not seen again in Dixon until to-night, when he sought revenge on Hourigan by taking his life. After Hanscom Ikuled Hourigan he made his escape. It is believed he came to Sacramento Ilnd the officers here are on the look- | out for him. —_————— Troops on Their Way Here, MISSOULA, Mont, Nov. 2.—A trainload of troops of the Twenty-first ilnhntry on their way from Forts Lin- coln and Keough to the Presidio at San Francisco passed through here last night.

Just before~the Arrow arrived at a position over the concourse the motor was seen to hesitate. Three or four wavering revolutions followed and then the silver-colored blades hung motionless, while the airship was again grasped by the breeze and hur- j ried back over the distance it had won tin its duel with the wind. Knabenshue, undaunted by the secs ond break-down, hung far out over the side of the aerial vessel and waved his cap toward the hundreds of persons thronging the aeronautic con- course. 3 Higher and higher floated the air- ship, thq breeze, which was blowing at the rate of about flve miles an hour from the southeast, eagerly tak- ing hold of the helpless craft and wafting it slowly .away from the sight | of those anxiously following its course, 1500 or 2000 feet below. The atmosphere had been very heavy all the afternoon, and it did not take long before the California Arrow was a tiny cigar-shaped object, almost ob- scured from view. As long as it could be discerned, however, the crowd watched its every movement, and sev- eral hundred persons remained at the concourse until word had been re- | ceived from Knabenshue that he had | alighted safely and that neither he | ) nor the Arrow had been injured be- yond the minor accident to the ma- chinery of the latter. As the vessel was near the con- course Captain Baldwin decided that it would entail too great a loss of time to deflate the bag and carry the Arrow back to the World's Fair grounds. Volunteers were numerous and Baldwin’s plan of carrying the Arrow back to the concourse by hand was agreed to, and, with relays of bearers, the march was begun. Knabenshue said to-night that he had remained in the air, although drifting, as he could see the automo- bile following far behind. “The only: trouble,” he said, “was that the exhaust cap blew off. I lost the cap twice and each time the mo- tor stopped dead and I was at the merey of the wind, which, fortunately, was not very brisk.” ) —_— e ———————e Sues Newspaper Editor for Libel.
