Bepton,s Hair Grower

All who are BALD, all who are becoming
BALD, all who do not want to be bald all
who are troubled with DANDRUFF, or
Itching of the scalp; should use Bent0n's

using it have grown hair. 1t never fails 10
stop the hair from falling. Through sickness
and feyer5 the hair sometimes falls off in
short time, and although the person may
have remained bald for years, if you use Ben
tons Hair Grower according 10 directions
you are sure of a growth of hair. In hun
dreds of eases We have produced a good
growth of Hair on those who have been bald
and glazed for years we have Iully substan-
tiated the following facts:
We grow Hair in so cases out of 100, no
matter how long bald.
Unlike other preparations, II contains no
sugar OF lead or vegetable or mineral
poisons
tits a SPECIFIC for falling hair, dandruff
and itching of the scalp.
The Hair Grower is a hair food, and its
imposition is almost exactly like the oil
which supplies the hair with its vitality.
DOUBLE AND TRIPLE STRENGTH.
When the skin is very tough and hard, and
the folliee is apparently effectualy closed
the single strength will sometimes fail to
reach the papllla; in such cases the double or
triple strength should be used in connection
with the single, using them alternately.

A Bogus U. s. Marshal.

An honest looking elderly gentleman,
giving his name rs Robert Taylor,
walked into the police station at
o'clock this morning and gave the par
ticularS of the manner in which he had
been made the victim of the ncatcst con-
iidcnce game of the season. For thirty
years he has been living in Ringgold
county, Iowa. but recently decided TO re
move to Nance county, Nebraska, With
his wife, daughter and son-ln-law he
passed through Omaha on Sunday even
ing in n prairie schooner. He reached a
point five miles east of Fremont yester-
day and was stopping Mt the residence of
George Godfrey when young fellow
arrived in a carriage and served
papers upon him charging him with hav-
ing passed counterfeit money at the
transfer in paying his fare across the
river. The young man gave his name us
Thomas Kelley and said he was deputy
United States Marshal. He was going TO
bring the entire party to Omaha, but
finally decided that he would be
satisfied to bring only Mr. and
would @ tnrn rSiov over all of '0 their ' money to
him so he could tell whether they had
any counterfeit col N or not. In his
anxiety to prove his honesty MIR. Taylor
consented to this and delivered S117.50
into the hands of the alleged official who
promised to pay HIM for his time
if he was found to bs innocent of the
charge. "Mr. Kelley" then left his team
IN Mr.. Godfrcys barn and hired young
Godfrey to bring him and Mr.. and Mrs.
Taylor to Omaha. They left the Godfrey
place at 5 o'clock yesterday evening and
made the drive of twenty seven miles to
Omaha, arriving here just
before midnight. "Kellcy" left
the party at Stevenson S barn on Tenth
street and went to secure a boarding
place for them, OF course he failed to
return and it finally dawned upon the
old gentleman that he had been conf
dcnced and he hastned to report the
affair to the police. The team which
Kelley" left at Godfrey's was hired
by him at Homan's barn yesterday morn
ing. MIR. and Mrs. Taylor are thus left
without cent of money. There is no
tangible clue to The identity of kelley"

HE RODE TO HIS DEATH.
Reuben johnson Indulges in a Ride
With Fatal Results.

Last night very sorrowful occurrence
attracted the attention Of a BEE reporter
on Cunning between Eighteenth and
Nineteenth streets. A crowd stood on
the sidewalk and through this an en-
trance was effected. In the middle of
the circle formed by the curious throng,
and upon the rough and hardened
sidewalk, lay young man who who;
majority. His eyes were glazed, and an
ashen hue had ovcrspread his features.
Blood was slowly oozing from out his
left ear. 1t seemed that doctor had
been sent for but had not yet arrived.
The reporter felt the pulse. 1t beat
feebly and the next instant ceased. AT
the next moment DR.. Moore arrived, felt
for the heart beats, but they had stilled
had expired upon the walk, with
not relative near by. Vulgar
curiosity soon turned into obsequi-
Gus respect. The bystanders spoke
in lowest tones, made way for the
doctor, and sympathetically watched him
as he washed the blood from off the dead
young man. just then a medium aged
himself upon the body of the lad, en-
braced and mourned aloud in pitiful
tones. He was the father of the boy.
Cries of sorrow came from a mounted
boy in the street. 1t was with him the
silent young man had met his death.
Yesterday evening John Rockbud and
Reuben Johnson took out their horses
for a ride. They went along Cunning
street toward Nineteenth. Rockbud was
a little in the lead. Suddenly he missed
his companion. He turned and looked
behind. johnson had been unseated, APP
parently by a passing wagon, and was
lying unconscious upon the, ground.
Rockbud Immediately galloped with the
empty saddle to the residence of the
Young lads parents. I he father returned
on the horse of his sons, but the son, as
above mentioned, was dead.
The wagon which ran into Johnson or
rather the wagon into which the latter
had run, remained fifty feet from the
scene. An elderly woman, coarsely clad
with an uncouth toilet, sat in front. Be
side her r.a sat or,on'i child t.od OF woa ten
buried in her hands. One of the
shafts of her wagon was broken, and by
ISLANDERS were tracing it with straps.
This woman was Mrs. Papc. She lives
on State, opposite the residence of l. K.
Williams. She and her husband are in
the dairy business. She was on her way
to town when the mishap occurred. She
saw johnson and Rockbud approach.
The former was on the north side of the
street, the latter on the south. The wo-
man was going east. Her horse was
slow. She could not get out of the way
of the approaching riders, and one OF
them, johnson, came so close that he
struck her shaft, broke it and was thrown
upon his side. The shaft was Immediately
repaired and the poor woman returned
home Other spectators corroborate this
story and assert that johnson was riding
at n reckless rate when he struck the
woman's horse. The unfortunate young
man lived but few minutes, Surgi-
cal aid could not have assisted hm, be
cause his injuries lay at the base of his
/ brain.
The young man was borne to his
fathers home on the coruer of Twenty
sixth an Burt streets, where an inquest
was held resulting in a verdict of acci-
| dental death.

busting the White House. /.

WAsuINGroN, August 81 Special Tele-
gram to the BEE. The reign of the nainters
and decorators of the white house is RAPIDLY
drawing to close. The painters have al
ready finished the first coat of white paint on
the exterior walls and are now engaged on
the second. The building in some places is
almost as dirty now as before hcpainting
began. The gnats and other insects took
hand in the decorations and before the hrSt
coat of paint dried thew sacrificed their
bodies on the clean white walls. Thousands
of them lighted on the wet paint and there
they stick. In order to give the second coat
a chance to dry without the aid of insects the
lamps on the carriage way will not be lighted
for about week. The cleaning of the east
room was finished to-day. The walls have
been kalsomined and the chandeliers cleaned.
1t is noteworthy fact, developed while the
workmen were cleaning these chandeliers.
that they are composed of 5000 pieces OF
glass. The count was made by order OF the
commissioners of public buildings and
grounds.

THE PAVING BONDS.
A Light Vote Pollcd But All in Favor
,f

of Their Issuance.
The special election to decide upon the
issuance of $4,000 for paving purposes,
took place yesterday. 1t was probably
the most unevcntful balloting ever held
in the city. The usual attention incident
to elections, on the part of interested
candidates and aspirants was wanting
and those who did 90 to the polls, in
nine cases out of ten, went because they
happened to be passing in the ncighbor-
hood. In every ward the vote was light;
so light, in fact, that 1t was several times
remarked in the hearing of BEE re-
porter that if one or two disgruntled dem
agogues had SO taken the notion, they
might, in one of the wards certainly,
have brought in enough ballots to have
DESTROYED the affirmative vote.
The bonds however, were carried with
n majority in every district and ward us
follows:
FIRST ward first district, 173 for and
B 3against; second district, 23 for and 3
against; third district, 4S for and 3against.
