Has John Crutchley been murdered? Ills clothes are In his room at th Quimby lluune; Ills wages have nut been drawn, but Crutchley, a man who had never m luiied an hour from hla pout o duty aa porter, ha not been Been since Wednesday night at 8 o'clock. -Anti he la, known to have had aeveral pumlred dollars In hla Dossesalon. Those are tlje facts on which the police pro now working-. His Tins Sword. - The missing man is between 66 and GO years Old. 11, has certificates of Hon . irahU-sscvUts 4n-thr UrHtsct Nnrr nut piiRi ten years in i'oruana iuvc givm lilm a golden reputation for honesty, so Jurlety and strict attention to duty. For many years Crutchley was porte Ot the Merchants' Hotel, on Third BtV-c North. About a year bko he Went t the Uulmby Huiikc and there he stnye tintll Wednesday In evident content men mid In high favor with the maangement "He was a splendid man- In his psl tlon." aald Proprietor Charles Ilrock ''und he became one of our most trirxted employes. I never knew of his being; delinquent In nny wny; he never went on sprees or Into dunicerous resorts. In deed, I never knew him to go Into paloon." Bad ZArr Savlnffs. It Is known that Crutchley. by years of saving, had accumulated a large, sum of money. The exnet amount Is un known, but It Is estimated by Mr. IJrock at several hundred dollars. "He made money in many ways," said Mr. Brock, "and never spent any. I am eure that when ho went away Wednesday night he had on his person a large sum Jle has money due him now. I can see no other reason for his disappearance than foul play and robbery." X Was Carefully Dressed. At supper of Wednesday night, Crutch ley was quite unnoticed, 'except by one man. who says that he wns dressed In new clothes and with a care very unusual In him. In bis room, are all his effects, but his usual working clothes are nlso there, corroborating the story of the man who lost saw him. "I never saw him dressed up myself." said Mr. Brock this morning, "but 1 know that ho had the clothes. Took Keys With Him. The strange thing about it Is, that lie took all the keys that he ordinarily carried. As a consequence, we can't lock the doors." "Was he married?" 'Not that we know of." "Had he any friend!--1ntlmate ones?" ."None. A few months ago an old cou pie used to come and visit him, but I haven't seen these people In a long lime , "Do you know who they ore?" "Only by sight. I don't know thlr names, nor where they live." "Did you have any words with Crutch lev?" "No, our relations were always mo? Wndly. He ilid his work and we appre ciated It." Search Reveals nothing;. The most thorough, search of the North Rnd falls to locate the missing man. It is now supposed that the fact of his wealth spread among men who were not backward In trying to ret hold of it by foul means. "He must have met with foul play," ea!d Mr. Brock, "and I am convinced that If anything Is found out about this mat ter my theoiV wjll be supported." - 1 M0LL1E OWEN PAYS A FINE.

She pleaded guilt to a charge of vag itincy. J f "You've been' up here before?" asked lilt honor. "Yes, about two years, ago." Then Officer Carpenter testified that the was worthless. Mollie Ow"en smiled mirthlessly. Her colorless cheeks and blue mouth bespoke the "dope" tlend. Judge Ilogue gazed at her a moment and then said "Twenty dollars." And Mollie Owen smiled.

Amid a welter of testimony that bade fair to swamp the court. M. Kutner prosecuted a charge of assault and bat tery against K. K. flooding. The trouble was over the ownership of the furniture of the lodging house at S.'4 Third street, North. "He bent me terribly." said Kutner. "He called me names and said he'd fix me,'" test Hied Gooding. "So I beat him." A man named Davis was called by -.oodlng and his testimony was of a simplicity that breathed of fallow fields. Then Mrs. Ilutlcr was called and she was so evident an admirer or me Duriy Hssallanthat she overthrew some of Davis' testimony. Then a HtnnU boy; John Toung, told what he knev?. Lawyer Joseph made an eloquent ap peal for Mr. Gooding, who is six foet tall and weighs possibly 3t0 pounds. Attorney Fitzgerald responded for Second-Hand-Mnn Kutner, who Is Bhort and not very strong. Judge Hogue fined Gooding $20. but rnlsed it, so Attorney Joseph might ap peal. INTERFERED WITH AN OFFICER "You're fined $10," said Judge Hogue to Amos Field. Amos Field looked very sick. He had explained, when charged with using abusive language to an oftiec.r. that lie "didn't associate with these kind of people." ' He also was Indignant because he was told to go home by an officer. Therefore he very nearly used abusive language to his honor. Field was released on his own recog nlzance the morning after his arrest on the plea of his wife, but In spit of the humiliation of this he threw a ch out and glared around the court room like a monarch. , TO BE DELIVERED IN TEN DAYS Because he wanted to wait for a letter from his father. Harry Putnam was given 10 days In Jull by Judge Hogue yesterday. Putnam, an anemii;. bilious-looking youth of liver-complaint demeanor, was charged with roaming the streets after hours. He seemed to have lfttle Idea of anything until questioned whether he would leave town. "I can't; I've got to wait for an answer to a letter I wrote my faiuer." "When did foil Write It'.'" "Yesterday, and It'll take 10 days to get an answer." "You can wait In jail," said his honor Duffy Fears Schick. It Is expected that Arthur F.

SHUT UP FOR 90 DAYS. i "He asked me for some clothe.", of some sort." testified Mr. Davis, in the case of Fred Hicks, charged with beg ging. "B-r-r-r-r" started In Fred Hicks, "Keep quiet!" said the Judge. "Kxeuse me!" began I ticks. "Shut up!" "But, y'r honor" "Shut up!" roared his honor. Davis went on and said Hicks wanted something "for a poor fellow." "Do you want to ask some questions?" sold his honor. "Sure. Do you say." he commenced shaking his finger nt the witness, "that I begged? Didn't you pull ran by the sleeve and want to buy my overcoat?" Mr. Davis, who is a pawn broker at 69 Third street. North, indignantly dented the charge. "Then you're a gentleman and I'm a liar!" yelled Hicks. "Shut up!" roared the court. Then Officer Franklin testified that Hlclis was un old offender. Hicks took the stand and tried tn argue the casV "I ain't no bloody burn." he howled. V "How about this begging charge?" "I wouldn't sell any overcoat for good ness sake; n g too bloody cold, and I ain't no fool to freexe to death," chanted I licks. And then he started to argue nirnln. "Shut up!" said the Judge. "Oxcuse me, yer honor. Judge. " "Keep still, unless you have facts to state."

I luircosl Is a remedy that the more yuu 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 nnd Im proves 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 und bowels; it disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. All drugflsts sell charcoal In one form or another, but probably the best char coal and the most for the money Is In Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, .find other harmless antiseptics In tablet form or rather In the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges. the charcoal being mixed witli honey. fjhe dally use of the"'! lozenges will soon tell in a much Improved condition 01' the general health, bettor complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of It Is, that no possible .harncnn result from tlieir continued use, hut," 011 the contrary, great benefit. A lluffalo physician, in speaking of ttri$ benefits of charcoal, says: "I advise Stuarjt'jj -Absorbent Lozenges to all pa t lent Hufferitrg from gas in stomach and bowers, und to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; I also believe that the liver Is greatly ben efited by the dully use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores, and although In some sense a patent preparation, yet ' I believe I get more and better charcoal In Stuart's Ab sorbent Lozenges, than in uny of the or dinary charcoal tablets." .
