This standard article is COM
pounded with the greatest care.
Its effects are as wonderful and
as satisfactory as ever.
It restores gray or faded hair to
its youthful color.
It removes all eruptions, itching
and dandruff. It gives the head a
cooling, soothing sensation of great
comfort, and the scalp by it's use
becomes white and clean.
BY it's tonic properties it restores
the capillary glands to their normal
vigor, preventing badness, and
making the hair grow thick and
strong.
AS a dressing, nothing has been
found so efectual or desirable.
A. A. Hayes, M. D., State AS
sayer of Massachusetts,, says, "The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and
consider it the BEST PREPARATION
for its intended purposes"

Ho! FOR THE PENITENTIARY.
LATEsT-HoMEwARD BOUND.

Information was received by Capt.
Hendricks last evening that Woodruff,
in the custody of Lieut.. Chapman, had
reached Wilmington, and would arrive
in Columbia to-day. Woodruff7s son, it
appears, as soon as he heard OF his
fathers flight and probable capture,
went to Gen, Conner and offered his
guarantee that if the General would
Withdraw the kilograms authorizing
Woodruf7s arrest, he (the SOM would
have his father back here by Friday
next. Not being able to effect such
compromise, young Woodruff went on to
Philadelphia on the same train with
Lieut.. Chapman, and is now returning

E. D. TOWNSEND,
A J..Lk N-o.o

At $40 p. IN. a press reporter on the
ground telegraphs as follows: "a large
Crowd of police and mounted vigilants are
conducting prisoners to the station
They are crossing Halstsad street Via
duct, and many shots are being fired by
the rabble, and serious trouble is antici.
pated before they get across the viaduct." "
The Office of the Metropolitan Tele-
graph Company nearest the scene was
taken possession of by the mob this fore.
noon, which accounts for dilatory and
meagre reports. The next nearest office
was several blocks away, and is managed
by lady operator.
II p. m.-Some cutting of telegraph
wires occurred this afternoon on the
Chicago and Northwestern Railroad, and
the mob attempted to prevent the tele-
graph force from replacing them. The
railway officials are awaiting develop
ments, running very few trains and max
ing no terms with the strikers. The
Audubon Gun Club has called meeting
of sportsmen to aid in preserving order
ALI the cigar makers in the city have
struck. The police have dispersed the
crowd on Halstead street, where the
fights occurred this morning, and every
thing is quiet there. Mounted police are
patrolling that section and allow NO
gatherings of any kind. The truth about
the cannon firing seems to be that the
artillery did fire two shots, but that the
guns were loaded with nothing but pow
der. The number of casualties reported
is large. The mob seems pretty well
broken up, but probably will gather again
before midnight.
A Times reporter was attacked by the
crowd on Halstead street few moments
ago, and responded by shooting one man.
One policeman has just been dangerous
ly wounded. The foreman of the Illinois
Packing Company, just in from the stock
yards, says that the men attempted to
work this morning but were driven OIL by
the mob. He says one hundred and
twenty-five thousand dollars worth OF
meat will be spoiled to-day in this estab,
lishment. The entire force of United
States troops expected are now here.
They are six companies of the Ninth
Regiment of Infantry.
Societies for protection have been
formed at almost every ward to-day, and
preparations for lively campaign to-
night are complete. 1t is reported that a
gang from the stock yards are coming,
declaring that they will clean out every
policeman on Halstead street. They are
armed with butchers knives, gambrels,
sticks, and every conceivable weapon.
CHICAGO, July q.
The known killed are fifteen. No po-
liceman is fatally hurt.
There were no riotous demonstrations
here this morning up to IL o'clock.
The seat of the local war has been
moved even further away from news CEN
tres than yesterday. 1t is now in the
vicinity of Archer avenue and Halstead
street, some four miles away, the mob
