THE female ''dress reform" is again

SOME MEN try advertising as the In
. dian tried Feathers. He took one
feather, laid it on board and slept on
it all night. In the morning he re-
marked: "White man says feathers
heap soft, white man DIN fool" Some
business men invest quarter or fifty
cents in advertising and then because
they do not realize great increase in
business they declare that advertising
does not pay. A man should not ex-
pect returns so disproportioned to his
investment. Even little advertising is
doubtless worth all it costs but a TWEEN,
ty-five cent local cannot be expected to
revolutionize business and turn trade
out of its accustomed channel.

The baldheads may find little COM
fort in the fact that that eminent au-
thority, the London Lancet, denounces
as false the doctrine that abundant
hair is a sign of bodily or mental
strength in man. 1t says that despite
the Sampson precedent the Chinese are
mostly bald, yet they form the most
enduring of races. The average mad
house furnishes proof that long and
thick hair is not a sign of intellectual
lty The easily-wheedled Esau was hairy,
while the mighty Caesar was bald. Long
haired men are generally weak and
fanatical, and men with scant hair are
philosophers and statesmen and sol
diers of the world.

with red glow that gives warning
of approaching colder blasts; winter
is on the way-his prophecy is in the

prophecy and photograph it in the

the jury going out at $40 2. NJ. This
case is the most noted one ever tried in
the West. June 2, 1890, VIM. Avery,
wealthy citizen of Fort Collins,
Col, died. Twelve days after his
widow was secretly married to Frank
Mlllington, of the same place. Rumors
were soon after rife to the effect that
Avery had been poisoned by his wife,
Frank Millington and his sister Dollie,
young girl Is years old. They were
arrested and the case was brought here
on charge of venue. Part of the evil
dence had been taken when one of the
jurors was taken sick, which necessi-
tated a new jury and the trial was gone
over again. One hundred and seventy
six witnesses were examined and the
evidence was very sensational. At 8
O'Clock tonight the jury brought in a
verdict of not guilty.

to relieve the pressure being felt by the

provement recorded during the last few

quantity of breadstufs were available,
but DR.. Won Bmtticher hoped that it
would suffice to meet the requirements.
Should this not be the case the govern
ment would take special measures to re-
lieve the pressure without losing sight
of the farming interests of Germany.

The New Wheat Bug in Kansas.

Reports received at Kansas City,
Mo-, from sixteen of the principal
wheat-growing counties of Kansas.
Brown, Dickinson, Boston, Sumner,
Saline, Lincoln and Ford counties re-
port that the wheat is turning yellow
from some unknown cause. The re-
port says those counties will not yield
more than from half to two-thirds of a
full crop. Reno County reports much
damage from the Hessian fly. Show
rell County reports many fields unfit to
cut. The 'new bug" appears in sever
al counties where the wheat is turning
yellow. Several counties report dam
age from drought. The cooler weather,
accompanied by showers in Kansas to-
day, will undoubtedly be a great benefit
to the wheat crop. Notwithstanding
the excessive rainfall of the past three
months there are many places where
rain will do great good now.
