elected in the city council Is in disgrace He admits being a woman-beater-and says the principle of must take precedence over religious and' filial duties For ten years he has quarreled with his aged mother and finally has driven her from home with a blow In the face together with her four young-children Johnson admits the assault and says the trouble is the result of the difference In their beliefs he being a socialist and his mother religious has a knitting machine and the meddling church people will now have a chance to show a little practical philanthropy and keep her supplied with knitting to support said Johnson last night she has put Olaf my 14-year-old brother to work and he can help support her but as for me I have not agreed to give her a cent and I only gave her 340 last pay day so that she could move" The trouble In the Johnson Household has stirred up the wrath of all Pqll-man the Chicago suburb which he represents In the council No' secret was made of the fact that there have been frequent quarrels between mother and son and it is generally known that the pronounced socialistic views of the alderman have been the cause Mrs Johnson Is the mother of a large family Alderman Johnson being' the eldest child Of the eight others two have died and two sons have gone west to seek their fortunes driven from home by the family discord the aider-man declares The father of this family died in 1895 Mrs Johnson is devoted to her church and it has been her greatest sorrow that her eldest boy should have cast aside his early religious training to embrace a creed which her pastor had taught her was the handiwork of the devil She remonstrated with him but without avail and then she sought to have Rev Laurttz Paulson of the Norwegian Independent church reason with him and try to make him relinquish a belief that she thought would wreck his whole life The persuasion of the minister had no effect upon the alderman who declares that socialism has no hearing upon one's religion He became angered at the Interference of the minis- ter and on one occasion he threw him bodily out of the house Alderman Johnson makes no excuse for his action With him socialism Is paramount above family home ties or politics He cares not what the world thinks of his action and saj-s: would not walk across the street to slop the story" Stewart Surface Burner Suitable for hard

good else snd equal in luokn to an 61800 dreeser Jf Times Special Washington Oct Startling revelations of the inability of some of the best United States battleships to light their turret guns and even their broad-ride batteries in a heavy sea are made in a report In which Rear Admiral Bradford the recently relieved chief of the bureau of equipment of the navy department dissents from the designs for the 13000 ton battleships Idaho and Misslsippi The designs are approved by the naval board of construction The elevation of their heavy gunport above the load water line is so little that in a heavy sea they must be closed and the guns thereby rendered inoperative Some members of this board contend that foreign battleships labor under equal disadvantages but the fact that the thirteen and eight-inch guns on the Keareage the flagship of the North Atlantic squadron were worthless during sixty-one days of last summer cruise will be a disagreeable message to the bulk of the American people who believe the American battleship can come off victorious in a fight with anybody and anywhere Here Is the salient portion of the report which was made public by Secretary Moody: are two important qualities in the design of the Idaho and Mississippi now recommended by the majority of the board which I believe should receive serious consideration first Is inclination to speed In this design speed in shipbuilding is second to capacity for sea fighting the speed of the Idaho and Mississippi corresponds to that of the old battleships then they must be relegated for service to the old battleship class snd the first line of defense composed of battleships of the latest and most powerful type with a speed of eighteen knots is not strengthened "Should to the slow Idaho class there he added the Maine Virginia and Connecticut classes then the speed of the fleet will be reduced from one and one-half to two knots Even if this sacrifice could he made the Idaho class still would be useless in a moderate seaway owing to low free Reference is made to the report of the commanding officer of the Kear-sage which is a ship of higher gun position than the Idaho It is stated in this report that during sixty-one days of the summer cruise the turret guns could not be used for st least one-third of the time and that the broadside guns muld not be used oil account of th condition of the sea QUITS FIANCE Omaha Girl Ji Its Her Betrothed and Marries Another Suitor Omaha Oct 24 Dr Fred Farmer a young physician of Chicago has returned to that city from Omaha alone and a bachelor while

OVER SIMILAR PAINTINGS Chicago Oct A mystery which is puzzling local art critics Interested in the salon of the American society of artists has arisen The Chicago connoisseurs are wondering whether they have discovered a wonderful coincidence of artistic nl-epiration or are being made the receiving end of a practical joke -The mystery comes of the submission by the Boston art jury of Isaac

efficient disinfectant and pursier in nature but few -realise- its value- when taken into the human system for the same deans- ing 1 Charcoal la 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 ths teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently sate cathartic It absorbs the injurious gases which collect In ths 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 the Stuart's Absorbent 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- ths 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 Absorbent Lozenges' to all patients suffering from gas in stomach and-bowels and to clear the complexion and purify' the breath mouth and throat I believe the liver 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 believe I get more and better charcoal in -Lozenges than in any of the ordinary charcoal Tou can leave over our line-at 8:25 on our beautiful Limited Express triln and It will land you In St Louis the next dlay at 6:04 Or you can taka the morning train at 7:30
