freshness Of youth. Thin hair is
thickened, falling hair checked, and
badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can re-
store the hair where the follicles are
destroyed, or the glands atrophied
and decayed. But such rs remain
can be saved for usefulness by this
application. Instead of fouling the
hair with pasty sediment, it will
keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off,
and consequently prevent badness.
Free from those deleterious sub

tions dangerous and injurious to
the hair, the Vigor can only benefit
but not harm it. If wanted merely

HIS BODY FOUND IN the ClS-
TERN IN the BASEMENT!
Mental Depression and
OverW0rk
THE PROBABLE CAUSES !

| Through the thick falling snow fakei
| of Tuesday morning the startling rumol
| spread on the street that Israel Boothby
| cashier of the First National Bank, and one
of the best known business men in Augusta
had committed suicide. Death is almost al
ways terrible; but there is something in ar
untimely taking Off that thrills one strange
ly.
The following account is thought to be the
accurate history of the
Sad Occurrence
| The time at which the bank is opened tc
the public is 8 o'clock. Mr.. Boothby was an
indefatigable and unwearying cashier, and
| frequently came down town at five, six, oil
seven o'clock to begin his days work. Tues
day morning he left home at about T. and
proceeded at once to his place of business
| An hour later his elder son came into the
bank and found his father in the directors
room, with his head bowed upon his hands
and his hat pulled down over his eyes. He
had evidently been crying. He had been
subject to these attacks of melancholy fol
some time past, and the son seeing nothing
unusual in his fathers actions left the
room without disturbing him.
About9 o'clock, Willie, the younger son
came down to begin his mornings work. He
found the doors of the bank locked, and sup
posed that his father had gone out on the
street for a few minutes. He stepped inside,
and at first noticed nothing unusual or suspi
cious.
| In short time lie observed that the revol
yer which usually lays on the desk, was not
in its proper place. He went down cellar
and at first looked in the water-closet: bu,
not finding his father there, proceeded to the
end of the cellar near the rear of the build
| ing The cover of the cistern had been re-
moved An awful suspicion flashed through
his mind. He ran forward, and, horrible
there in that subterranean pool was the
| Dead Body of His Father!
| The boy FASTENED up stairs, and across the
street to the Savings Bank where he con
veyed the startling intelligence. A few
bank officials and city Marshal White en-
tered the building. Coroner Libby and DIR
Martin were summoned. The body of Mr.
Boothby, was found in the cistern. few
films of ice ioated on the surface of the wa
ter, which was already of a reddish hue. The
body was Lifted out and laid upon the stone
floor of the cellar Life had been extinct but
short time.
| The bullet had
entered Just back of the right ear and hao
emerged little in of the left,-making
CHASTITY wound from which blood and brains
still oozed in sickening way. To his righ
leg were attached two heavy window weights
1t was evidently Mr.. Boothby's intention tt
drown himself; but the water was too shall
low for that, and he had terminated his ex
istence with one shot from revolver. Deati
must have been almost instantaneous. Inc
following rough sketch, although not correct
" proportioned, will give general idea OF TN
scene of the sad tragedy.
