Ayers
Hair Vigor

not only prevented my wife from becoming
bald, but it also caused an entirely new
growth of hair. 1 am ready to certify to this
statement before justice of the peace
H. Hulsebus, Lewisburgh, Iowa.
"Some years ago, after severe attack of
brain fever, my hair all came out. 1 used
such preparations for restoring it as my ply
sicians ordered, but failed to produce a
growth of hair. 1 then tried, successfully,
several articles recommended by druggists,
and all alike fell short of accomplishing the
desired result. The last remedy l applied
was Ayers Hair Vigor, which brought
growth of hair in few weeks. l think 1
used eight bottles in two years; more than
was necessary as a restorative, but liked it
as a dressing, and have continued to use it
for that purpose. l believe Ayers Hair
Vigor possesses virtues far above those of
any similar preparation now on the market"

DISPOSAL OF SEWAGE.
A Conduit Fro Waterbury to Tide Water
 Suggested.

A Conduit Fro Waterbury to Tide Water
 Suggested.
 It is certain that the time when a more satisfactory method of dispOsing of the city's sewage, than that now em- ployed, must be adopted, is not far dis tant. The S25 ,000 suit for damages brought by the Platt Mills Go will bring the matter up for tinal settlement, and it is well for the city to be prepared to make a radical change, if such be ordered by the courts.
 And now, assuming that change must be made, what is the best and cheapest method for disposing of the citys sewage?
 For many years chemists and engi- neers have eNperimented to relieve sewage of it's offensive odor, but all at tempts at deOdOriZatiOn by chemical processes have proved very unsatisfac- tory, and can hardly be relIed upon. The utilization of the sewage on the fields by irrigation is, under certain con ditions, good plan-One of the hest but to adopt the system Tn Waterbury would mean the expenditure of a great amount of money to insure satisfactory results.
 All authorities agree that when sewage and rainfall go together in the same drains, satisfactory results are not 
 that rain water as a flushing power ought to be discarded if the irrigation system of disposing of sewage is | adopted, for these reasons: It fails in dry weather, when it is most needed; in winter when the sewage is discharged on to the surface of the land, the great quantities of water carried through the sewers can be disposed of only at a great loss. Where sewage and rain water go together it is almost impossi- ble to prevent the pollution of rivers. | To separate the two would involve a great outlay for Waterbury and is out of the question.
 It would seem then that an effort must be made by Waterbury and the towns below us to reach tide water. This can only be accomplished by common action, but we believe the project is feasible, and is the cheapest and best way out of the difficulty. A flag covered conduit could easily be built along the bed of the Naugatuck river and short distance in the Housatonic river to tide water. It would seem that such a sewer could be built for from $20,O00 tc S25, ,000 mile, making a total cost of about S600,0O0; this to be divided between Waterbury, Nau gatuck, Beacon Falls, Seymour, An sonia, Birmingham and Derby. By this plan the question of the disposal o the Naugatuck valley.
 been suggested for Waterbury, calls fol an outlay of S1O0,00O to begin with, anc never ending expense of S1O,OOO t( S15,00 a year. The Brooklyn distric would also suffer by the introduction O such system.

 The members of Waterbury's board of trade are wide awake men and know the value of advertising.

A Convict at Large.

ROCKVILLE, Sept 4.-No trace has yet been found of John Quinn, the escaped convict. A party of twelve men search ed the country within a radius of ten miles last night, and today the search is still in progress. The two prisoners, Quinn and Perry, who were released and permitted to join the searching party, did not return to jail as they promised and officers were sent to look for them. They were captured in this city where they had been enjoying themselves all day. Neither of the prisoners had any idea of returning to jail. The Holland county authorities have offered a reward of S100 for the capture of Quinn.

Justice Field is the scholar of the supreme bench. Besides his Greek and Latin he is thoroughly versed in modern Greek and Turkish, and can converse fluently in Greek and Italian. His library is one of the finest in Washing ton, and he himself is probably the most interesting man at the capital. His ex- tensive travels, com bined with his long experience of life and wide reading, mako him most agreeable and entertaining companion. In personal appearance he is tall, with a somewhat stooping figure and large head that looks like Shakes peare's.
 Sir John Macdonald's widow will hereafter be Countess or Lady Earns cliffe. It is not yet made known whether her new rank will extend to her heirs, but it is thought that with out doubt her son, Hugh Macdonald will succeed to the title, because such has been the custom following the patent of an earldom. However, if she has also obtained a subordinate title as baroness, in addition to the higher title, her son will be called baron during her lifetime, by courtesy. At her death both titles will be his. Hugh Macdonald is an able and successful man in profes. sional life.

An Enlargement Wrought by tho Cruel
War.

An Enlargement wrought by the Cruel
War.
INDEPENDENCE, Iowa, Aug. 14.-One of the
many arrangements caused by the cruel
war has just come to light by the reunion of
VIM. S. McLain and his daughter, Mrs. J.
Acklsy, of this city. The story runs as fol-
lows: In August, 1862, Nolan enlisted
at Manchester, Iowa, in Company
f. Twenty-seventh Iowa, serving three
years aa q music an. Near the
close of the war he drifted west and before
communicating his whereabouts with his
family he was stricken with paralysis, 30
that he was unable to either speak or write.
Years passed and receiving no word from
the husband and father, the family mourned
him as dead. After moving farther west
the mother and children, with the exception
of one daughter, died. IN old acquaintance
of tho family recently moved to the Pacific
slope, and upon meeting McLain recog-
nized in him an old neighbor and friend.
His daughter, Mrs. Ackley. was at once ap-
prised of the facts. and Wednesday sent for
him to finish his days beneath her root.
He has not regainsd the power of speech
except to answer in monosyllables, and
probably the history of his thirty years
suffering will never be known.

PESTS IN A PLAY HOUSE.
The Girls in the "Tar and Tartar Trouble
With FlenE.

Girls in the "Tar and Tartar Troubled
with Fleas.
New York, Aug. 14.-FlexS are causing a
reign of terror among the people of the
TIA and Tartar company now at Palm
er's theater. There had been isolated in
dications of the coming plague from time
to time, but tonight the chorus girls
caught the fever of capering about the
stage in an eccentric fashion. They backed
mp against tho scenes, seeking comfort
from the sharp edges Of the frames. and
then pinched themselves on their legs.
Later Mrs. Bell, the fiery but cheerful Tar
tar of the opera, gritted her teeth and
stamped her heel with almost a vicious We
hemence.
Manager Harry Allen went behind the
scenes and watched the didoes of the COM
pany as if he thought they had all gone
crazy. The members of the company
tackled the manager. They declared that
there was a regular plague Of f1eas in the
theater and that it was making their life
unbearable. The chorus girls complained
more bitterly than the principals. They
told Manager Asker that the fleas got in
under their tights and that all they could
do was to pinch. The manager says that
Dixby Bells pet dog, ''Sloppy Weather" is
to blame for the whole thing.
