Drunken Man Kills Sister While

HANOVTOR, Mich., Jan. 2 Oor*e
Johns, son of a farmer living two miles
north of here, Is under aresi charged
with having brutally beaten his ulster.
Miss Minnie Johns, while ther mother
lay dead In the house.
The mother. Mrs. William Johns, died
Friday and the daughter who Is em-
ployed In Jackson, came home to assist
In the funeral arrangements. It Is al-
leged that Johns came home drunk and
that the weapon he best his sister over
the henfl with was n wooden box. The
woman's face Is terribly disfigured.
Muskogee, ok., Jan. 2—On the court-
house grounds of the old Eagle coun-
ty, in the Choctaw nation, stands a
landmark hat is known o cvory Choc-
aw Indian, a cypress tree that Is the
larges In the United States outside tji.
Pacific coast. 'l1hc ree is known
itmong the Indians as the "Big Tree."
It is 17 feet In diameter at is base
and Is 10 fee in dilameter 100 feet
above the ground.
The "Big Tree" Is ten miles north
of the famous timber reserve of sec-
tion 29, in the soutueast corner of
the new stae, an area embracing he
fines body of Isanding imber In the
world. It stands just in front of the
palatial mansion of ex-Governor Jeff
Gardner of he Choctaw nation.
Tho forest reserve area, of which
the "Big Tree" Is a landmary, was
created by Secretary Hitchcock be-
fore his retirement as secreoary of
the Interllor. The arra was reduced
and modified "by Secretary «garfield
and now embraces about 100 town-
ships ory 3,600 square miles, or two
and a quarter million acres. The area
includes the fertile agricultural val-
leys along the numerous srrvurns in
this region. The region is wild and
unfrequented.
Big game abounds, and deer, bear
wolves and wild turqeys are plenti-
ful. There are plenty of wild hogs,
azorbacks and a peeullar species
known as the "mule-footed" hog,
which has a non-cloven hoof. In the
mountains of the region are a few
bands of wild horsos, renegades from
the mustang ponies that tho Indians
owned In former days.
Tho most primitive Choctaw Indians
inhabit this region. They speak no
language save their own, and every
full-blood non-Engllsli-speaktrig Choc-
taw Is against the government an\1
any change from the old conditions.
The Recalcitrants, or Snake Indians,
followers* of Crazq Snake, who at va-
rious times have threatened rebellion
against the government and who ac-
tually rose in Insurrection once, are
lij the area. Choctaw freemen, near-
ly pure-blood negroes, oM slaves and
their descendants, who are unable to
speak a word of English, are as nu-
merous as tho Snakes.
In tho mountains of thfs region a
number of the streams of Oklahoma
rise. Some of the more Important

The timber reserve Is soon to be
sold through the department of the ln-
erlor and it is probable that within
a few years this wild and picturesque
region will have pissed into memory,
and. In common with many of the
other picturesque features of Okla-
homa soon will have become a tra-
dition.

DEER-SEASON VICTIMS
34; HEAVY SLAUGHTER
Main Fatalities Number 20—Ver-
mont, New Hampshire and
Canada 14.
BANGOR, Maine, Jan. 2,—About 10
000 deer 200 moose and countless birds
and small animals were killed In
Maine In the season that end<M i
midnight Tuesday* and Incidentally
twenty men lost their lives, whll
twenty-five persons were seriously
wounded, and more than 100 sustained
slight hurts.
Reports from Vermont, New Hamp-
shire and Canada tell of fourteen mort
fatalities.
In tho best shooting region—that ly«
lng north and east of Bangor, along
tho headwaters of the Penobscot
about Moosehead lake and In Aroos-
took county—deer have been very nu-
merous all through the season, ami It
has been easy for the shooters to get
their legal allowance of two.
Herds Barely Reduced.
Yet, after all the shooting word
came to Bangor on Tuesday that the
killing apparently had no effect to re-
duce the herds, so plentiful Is the
game.
About one-half of all the big game
killed Is transported by rail, and tak-
ing that as a basis. It appears that
there were killed In the famous hunt-
ing ground above described about 64
00 deer, for 8230 deer have been In-
spected at this station by the wardens
—nearly one-half of It bound out ot
the state. This would Indicate a kill
of rather more 'than 10,000 deer In the
entire state, or nearly a third more
than last year.
Moose Records Decrease.
As for moose, the results of the
hunting have fallen far behind last
year's record. In 1907 there were
shipped to and through Rangor 170
moose, while this season's tally, com-
pleted on December 1, was but 125.

It appears that those legislators who

ative—with the Intention of getting a Jod
for them, are loudly opposed by most
members of the legislature for the rwisoi.
that It would be violating tne antl-Nepo-
tlsm law. Some, however, think that a
representative could see that his relative
got a Jo"b in the senate and the senator's
relatives could fill a place in the lower
house without conflicting with the true
spirit of the anti-nepotism statute.
The question will come up in the cau-
cus and the friends of those aspirants
that never held a legislative position will
fight the matter, even if they have to
ask Attorney General West for an opin-
ion or resort to getting out an injunc-
tion to prevent those that feasted at the

CARRIE NATION "FIRED"

EDINBURO, Jan. 2.—Mrs. Carrte Na-

use her own expression—was fired" yes-
terday from two of the largest pc/lic
houses in Dundee. She was removed by
force by publicans who failed to see the

The publicans now display placards
bearing the words, "All nations wel-

undismayed by this opposition.
"I saw a woman and a child in a
saloon today," she said, "and, as straight
as one woman can talk to another, I
said: 'Straight out of it! Your place 4s
at home!' She slammed the door In my
face.
"At another saloon I saw a lot of
children coming down the street. I said

MOTHER ANu SON UNITED
AFTER TWENTY YEARS
Meet Accidentally in Store and
She Discovers His Identity.
Search Was Futile.
RAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2.—A Joyous
scene was witnessed In a local store
when a son and mother accidentally met
after a separation of twenty years. Mrs.
John Preston, who parted from tior hus-
band twenty years ago in New York,
was the woman.
Her husband had taken with him their
only child, a boy of 15. Father anu
son lived in various parts of the world,
the latter being taught little of his moth-
er. Until the father's death at Hono-
lulu a year ago he was In no position
to make any efforts to learn her where-
abouts. After that he found she iuh
left their old home soon after he and
his father had disappeared.
The son* settled at Riverside, and while
looking over Christmas articles in a note
his mother, who had en*s/M the •■•.tro
a few moments previously, discovered u.s
Identity.
Do not go among your friends with
a breath so odious as to make your pres-
ence distasteful. Foul breath is cap-
able of easy removal ir you will take a
little time to overcome it. Generally
foul breath comes irom one of two
causes, Impure gases or foul digestive
fluids.
Cliarcoai is the strongest absorbent of
foul gases known. It positively attracts
poisons and neutralizes their evil effects.
A noted French physician swallowed
strychnine enough to kill three men and
with a teaspoonful of charcoal removed
the bad effects of this terribly swift
poison.
A little charcoal in a bed room or
cellar will make foul air pure. l'ure
willow charcoal mixed with honey are
he component parts of Stuart's Char-
coal Lozenges and pure breath Is the
result of their use after meals. Simply
dissolve two or three after meals and
at bed time and foul breath flees at
once. No matter how you cause these
gases, whether by bad food, alcohol or
abuse of the stomach, Stuart's Charcoal
Lozenges will stop gas making and
sweeten the breath.
They are perfectly harmless and the
eating of a box would cause you no In-
convenience whatever.
Charcoal Is hard o prepare for the
stomach because It must be strong and
pure and most people will not take It
unless made palatable. Stuart's inimit-
able process presents charcoal to tin
taste and system iu all the nicety do-
sired.
Choice virgin willow is burnt into de-
sirable charcoal; this Is mixed with jnire
honey and the combination Is compress-
ed under treniendous power into a loz-
enge of great pleasantness and effi-
ciency.
Don't let your bad breath make peo-
ple cross the street to avoid you; go
to tha nearest drug store and buy a
box of Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to*
day and eat what you will. Two or
three after the meal will sweeten your
breath at once. If you want proof of
this fact send us your name and address
and w« will send you a trial package
.by mail free. Address F. A. Stuart Co..
