"I know of no truer friends of Japan than the Americans and our excellent relations and knowledge of one another will ensure an amicable outcome at an early date of the negotiations still in progress." Such is the message that Baron Kogoro Takahira sends to America on the eve of his departure to assume the ambassadorship of his government at

"but only as the resident representatlve of my country. I am delighted to return to the city and country where I have so many friends. When I was list In Washington as minister it was an anxious period, but I always recall how my anxiety was lightened by the friendship and sympathy of the great American people. "I have always regarded the Americana as our good friends, and friendship In times of stress and difficulty in doubly appreciated. That is why I say I know Japan has no truer friends than the Americans, who all along have believed in the justice and truth of our aims. Although certain newspapers have spoken in a pessimistic vein regarding our relations, I have never attached the slightest importance to these utterances, and with my knowledge of America's attitude during the Russo-Japanese war and of her relations to us in our earlier and more modest times, I have never dreamed of the possibility of war between the United States and Japan. Such a thing is unthinkable in this period of the world's history. "I have not a particle of doubt regarding America's sympathy toward u and I fully believe that a satisfactory solution of any question between the two countries will be reached at an early date without much difficulty." DEADLOCKJAY LAST Democrats Who Were Offended by Beckham Refuse To Vote for Him. SITUATION UNINTERESTING Frankfort, Ky., Fb. 8. Senatorial deadlocks in Kentucky are not what tney used to be. Time was when very day of a deadlock brought about some new thrill. This one is as tame as a countrr prayer meeting. There are no armed partisans on guard. There is free access to the state house at all times. The galleries of the senate and house of representatives are open to all. There hasn't been a fistic encounter. It is distressingly quiet. Day by day the ballot has been taken for the last three weeks, with pracueally no change. The chief candidates W. O. Bradley, republican, and J. C. W. Beckham, democrat neither gain nor lose. There is a scattering fire of votes for others, Joe Blackburn, Senator McCreary, John W. Baird, and occasionally some other favorite son, tut that is all. There has been no Indication of a possible stampede. The advent of Col. John R. Allen, of Lexington, into the fight may add to the interest. He is a democrat, and when it became known that he was in the race, he corralled the scattering votes the first day. But neither Beckham nor Bradley lost a supporter. Beckham was cocksure at the outpet. There are enough democratic legislators to elect him, but he antagonized some of them in the last campaign and they declare they will never vote for him. So far they have stood ty the declaration and it begins to look as though the deadlock would last throughout th session now nearly half over.

FIFTEEN-YEAR-OLD GIRL COOKED TO DEATH Drum Caught Dress Afire with Fatal Result. Bloomington, Ind., Feb. 8. To be literally cooked to death was the fate of fifteen-year-old Mary Ham, daughter of Sherman Ham, on the Ellettsville pike, two miles north of this city, when her clothing caught fire from a red-hot drum stove. The accident is without a parallel for terrible suffering in the history of the county. The girl's hair was burned entirely off, her eyes were destroyed by the flames and her body was absolutely roasted until the flesh lay over in folds. The girl was helping her mother care for a 8ick child when the tragic mishap occurred. The red-hot drum stove, near which she was sitting. suddenly ignited her cotton dress and she was a mass of flames in an instant. Her father was badly burned in trying to save her. Before the fire was put out all her clothing was burned off except her woolen stockings. THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL. Few People Know How Useful It Is In Preserving Health and Beauty. Cost Nothing To Try. Nearly everybody knows that charcoal 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 cleansing puppose. 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 onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and improves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels: it disinfects 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 Charcoal Lorengee; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form or rather in the form of largo pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey. The daily use of these lozenges 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 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 Lozenges to all patients suffering from fras in sromach and bowels, and to clear the complrxion and purify the breath, month and throat; I also believe the liver is greatly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a bo at drug stores, and although in some sense a patent preparation, yet I believe T get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than in any of the ordinarv charcoal tablets.

"Norris Brown poorest man in the senate and pride of Nebraska." This was the toast given to Senator Brown recently, and he frankly and smilingly admitted it. He is probably the only senator that does not own his own home. What is more, the senator's policies aren't typical of tnose senators who mysteriously grow rich. Brown was formerly Nebraska's attorney general, and in that capacity he made things warm for Standard Oil and other corporations unwilling to pive the public a square deal. He is a strong railroad regulationlst. having been elected on the anti-railroad platform. One of his hobbies is the election of senators by popular vote.

They found a negro named Motlow on his farm, and they beat him in an unmerciful manner. Lawrence and Tucker belong to the "Hill Blllie" class, never having Joined the Society of Equity. PEOPLE INTERESTED IN CHILDREUAY PLANS National Congress of Mothers To Convene. Philadelphia, Feb. S Plans and details of the National Congress of Mothers, which will be held in Washington next month, are being discussed by its executive committee in session here. Speaking of the congress, Mrs. Frederic Schoff, one of its most active spirits, said: "We want not only the women, but the men who are interested in children, to participate in this congress. This congress will agitato questions that will ultimately stand for the better citizenship of all the people of the world. "President Roosevelt is using his efforts to advance the cause. He said to me in a recent interview that he thought the National Congress of waf approaching the question of mofn' municipal corruption and Vlcft ,n the bfBt wa" b organizing a radical preventive cf evil in the training of children to be upright citl-' rens. Train the children aright," he said to me, 'and you will come near-' er an ideal state than through any ! other means. "President Roosevelt is to speak to us at the White House on March 10. Mrs. Roosevelt has signfied her interest in the congress by paying up the full dues of life membership."

BRUTALITY CHARGED AGAINSTJTTENDANTS Insane Patients Beaten and

Choked in Cruel Manner. Jacksonville. 111.. Feb. . Stories of brutality to insane patients by the attendants at the Central Hospital for the insane in this city, that seem to be only forerunners of scores of such that will be investigated, reached the ears of the members of the legislative committee to investigate state institutions who are here to line up the work done by the entire committee when it takes up the hearing of testimony a few weeks hence. One was a story of how a man was set upon by three attendants and beaten until two rib:s were fractured and he had a fight for life, lying in bed six weeks to recover from the effects. Another was a story of how a young woman attendant brutally pulled the hair of a patient. Yet another told oi how a young woman attendant choked a patient with a towel. None of these attendants was discharged from the asylum employ, although tnese instances of brutality were reported.

STUDENTS WORKED FOR INDIANA Books Removed to New Library at University. Bloomington, Ind., Feb. S -The future Daniel Websters and Btackstones did manual labor at Indiana university today; the members of the Indiana University law school, donned their working clothes and transferred the law department, green bags and bag gage from the old law school quarters ! on the third floor of WyZie hall to the j beautiful building turned over to that ! school this yeaf-Maxwell Hall, the! old library building, which was vacated when the new library building was completed. About 100 members of the law school joined with the professors and made the change in short order. Owing to the fact that the University is short of funds, the authorities found that it would be impossible to hire enough men to make the transfer in one day, and thus not cause any time to be lost. Two or three days would have been required by the present force of regularly employed janitors, and the students figured that that time would be lost to them. In orler to avoid that, they met last Tuesday afternoon and decided to help out in the moving. Shortcomings of Giant. The giants of real life are shambling, stoop shouldered, splay footed creatures', who could not run a mile at speed to aave their lives. They have bij Jaws and ears, but small brains, flat chests, enormous appetites and poor digestions. Tney seldom get beyond the stage of intelligence of a healthy boy of fourteen, and they die early nnd from the most trivial causes. The Irl3h giant Cornell McGrath died from the shock of a fall from slip ping on a piece of orange peel and Lady Aama or collapee after a fit of coughing. They seem to have the vitality of a 150 pound man diffused through 300 pound and cannot properly "police" their own body territory. As for bullying their neighbors, they have more than they can do to attend to themselves. If they ever did get on seven league boots, they would lose a leg within ten Btridt. Although capable at times of brief displays of giant strength, which can be utilized for a limited number of exhibition feats, they seldom have any endurance or application and are usually indolent, easy golnj and of weakly amiable disposition.
