The Care of the Hair.

The best way to care for the hair is
to wash it every day or every other
day with plain cold water, and after
drying it thoroughly brush it several
minutes with a soft hair brush. Every
one knows that grooming horse will
make his coat soft and glossy, and the
same holds true in man. Thorough
brushing removes the dandruff; it
stimulates the scalp just enough to en-
courage a healthy performance OF it's
functions; it makes the hair smooth
and soft, and it causes more rapid
growth.
II the hair becomes dry, a littlepure
olive oil, a few drops well rubbed in at
bed time, will soften the scalp and re-
move the brittleness of the hair. It is
we'll in all things pertaining to health
to try to encourage nature by simple
methods rather than call in the un-
guided aid OF powerful drugs. No one
takes the advice OF defeated and
ruined business man, yet most men will
buy both medicine and advice from a
hairless barber.

NOT IN CONTEMPT.

Montana's Supreme Court Orders Edi-
tor MacKnight's Discharge.
HELENA Mont, Special Telegram, Aug.
1.-THE supreme court of Montana to-day
vindicated tho right of newspaper to pub
lish the news. Judge Mediation of Butte
recently hauled up Editor A. MacKnight,
of the Helena Journal, to1 publishing in a
gossipy article the words of can old Mon
tanian" to the effect that the Davis will
contestants could not get an impartial trial
before any judge or jury in Butte, where
the vast estate lies, and from which it
would be removed if the contest is success
full.
The court held that contempt of court is
conHned almost exclusively to acts that in
terrupt the progress OF the business of the
court. 1--WE are passing upon a question
of law as between the right Of a citizen and
the power OF the court to summarily i'm
prison upon charge OF contempt. The
power is given to the court to enforce
obedience and respect to the authority Of
the court. 1t is not to enforce sentimental
respect, for that must be gained by other
means, and will come to court where law
and order is administered with able fear
less and impartial fidelity"
The decision is quite sweeping one, as
the article certainly went to the limit in its
reflections OH the court. The prisoner was
ordered discharged.

CAMP DOUGLAS IN RUINS.
The Fire Tiend Wipes Out That Thriv.
ing Wisconsin Village

ing Wisconsin Village.
New LISBON, Wis. Aug. 11.-Camp Doug
las is in ruins. At p M the cry OF fire
was raised. It seems that a lamp exploded
in McGuire's saloon, but the flames had
been nearly smothered, and thinking it
was over, left. The fire took new start,
and i'll about ten minutes was beyond
control. 1t appeared rapid lythrough several
houses till it reached Camp Douglass Ho-
tel. 1t then crossed the tOmaha,tracks and
set fire to the Commercial House and the
depot Although all this happened in a
very few minutes the soldiers at the camps
ha4 been notified and they had assembled
and succeeded in saving nearly all the
goods in the hotels and stores, besides the
who ofthe business part OF the village.
Many dwelling houses were burned, there
being nothing lett but q few residences in
the southwestern part OF town. The wind
blew rom abe south and kept it burning so
rapidly that the fire engines from Nauston
had been sent for as soon as it was evident
that the fire had a good start, but reached
there too late. Total loss estimated at
about $3.50, 600.
Some OF the losses are as follows: George
+. Rohmader, general merchandise $S, 900;
Buff Mcclure, saloon and dwelling, ST. 5OO
Johnson's store building and stock, $40 600;
Lynn hotel, $5. 200; Sinsleton's hotel and
store property, $25, ,00O and Holton's ware
house and other buildings, $1,000. Han
sens livery barn was burned with
two horses. Telegraph lines and rail-
road tracks are in such condition
s>ction men are on hand, but the roadmas-
ter says nothing can be done till morning
owing to the heat. Traffic wont be opened
till Tomorrow. t-,

AN IOWA CYCLONE.
1t Swoops Down on a Grove in Which
q Camp Meeting Is Being
Held.
Huge Trees Felled and Broken
Branches Hurled Through
the Assemblage.

LEON Iowa. Aug ia cyclone swept
over this portion OF Decatur county yester-
day, causing great damage. In this town
the streets and yards were literally Uttered
with fallen trees and in many instances the
roads were absolutely impossible. School
houses were unroo ed and two houses in
the southern part Of the town were CON-
pletely demolished. Fences sidewalks and
outhouses were Ii ted up bodily and carried
away by the wind. The falling trees
wrecked the telegraph, telephone and elec-
trio light wires and the town was in dark
ness last night.
About half of the citizens Of this place
were attending camp meeting at Davis
q City. ten miles distant. The camp meeting
IS being held in grove on the banks OF
Grand river. Fully 5000 people were in at
tendance
The storm struck the grove suddenly, and
in moment all was dark. Huge forest
trees fell crashing to the earth, and broken
branches were hurled by the wind through
the crowded assemblage with terrific force.
The tabernacle was crushed under the
weight of two giant oaks, and all the seats
and stands demolished. Several cottages
were also damaged, some being unroofed
and others being crushed by fallen trees In
spite OF the suddenness aud force of the
gale, however, no one was killed and only
a few slightly bruised by fallingdebris.
1t is feared that when reports are received
from the country districts they will bring
news of loss Of life. Such news as has been
received is to the effect that the damage to
crops is heavy. Corn has been beaten to the
earth, stacks blown away and fences demol-
ished

SIMLA. Aug. 1.-THE Marquis Of Ians-
downe. viceory Of India has rendered his
decision on the appeal of the
Manipur princes who were con-
demned to death for the part
they took in the massacre Of Chief Commits
sioner Quilon, Special Agent Grimwood
and other British civil and military Off

court of inquiry. The sentences of Selma
Putty, brother of the jubrai ire
gent) of Manipur and commander
in chief of the Manipur army, and the
general who give the order Tor the massacre
have been confirmed by the viceroy and
they will be executed. In the cases
Of the regent and Prince Anango
Sena, the younger Sena Putty,
the viceroy has comnuted the SEN
tences of death to transportation for life
and the forfeiture of their property. Sev-
eral of the Manipuri and a British sepoy
who took prominent part in the massacre
have already been execu ed.

AGRICULTURAL 4 MATTERS.
INTERESTING ITEMS FOR RURAL
READERS.
Keep the Ground Stlrred--A Danger

toes--Geese on the Farm
--FeedIng Skim Miik--
Underdrain-
age.
Keep the Ground Stirred.

Every farmer understands the val
ue OF frequent stirring of the soil in
the corn field. The value of this
practice, however, is greatly increased
in aseason OF drought. The reason
is that the top OF the soil by frequent
stirring is made to act the part of a
sponge, and arrests the moisture that
is being constantly poured into the
air above.
We once made the following expert
ment, to obtain an approximate idea
OF the amount of moisture thus drawn
off, and the hlndering effect on evap-
oration through constant stirring of
the surface soil.
During prolonged drought place
IN well travelled highway was select
ed, where the fine dust was several
inches deep. A large bell glass-a two
quart Mason fruit jar will answer the
same purpose-was well chilled by
contact with ice, wiped perfectly dry
and placed mouth down on the dust
and covered with several thicknesses
OF white cotton cloth, After a. period
OF tive minutes the cloth was removed
and it was found that sufficient mois-
ture had arisen from the dust, and
condensed on the cold glass, to run
down it's sides and form a wet ring in
the dust, quite plainly discernible.
On the side OF the road was a field
OF corn which the owner had not cul-
tivated for more than a week. The
dry weather had formed multitude
OF fine cracks in the soil,
out OF which moisture was pass
ing at a rapid rate. To deter
mine the difference in evaporation of
the unstirred ground in the cornfeld
and the frequently stirred dust in the
road was a fact that would be valua-
ble to know. Accordingly we again
chilled the glass and placed it in the
cornfield in the same manner and for
a like period of time as in the road dust.
The result showed to our satisfaction
that the moisture was pouring out of
the cornfeld at least three times faster
than in the road.
Had the owner of the cornfeld kept
the ground stirred lightly on top every
two or three days he would have ar
rested this wasting moisture and
thereby watered his corn very effect
lively, besides destroying the noxious
weeds. It was worth to us all the
time and trouble taken in the expert
ment to know this principle and learn
how thereafter to turn it to valuable
account in the cultivation of corn and
other crops. ~.

A Danger in Breeding.

Even in England the farmers are be-
ginning to think that the breeding of
these mountains of horsefesh has been
carried too far. There is an ever pres
ent danger in the breeding of all ami
mails that the size question will be
overdone and carried beyond an econ
omic standard. A correspondent of
the London Live Stock Journal writes
that paper as follows:
Some breeders are running so much after
the heavy type of London dray horses that
they are leaving the plow out of sight.
There is, he adds, really no reason to do so,
for farmers who wish to use lighter horses
on their lands can have market for their
geldlngs II the animals are able to trot well,
almost as good as they can have for horses
up to the heaviest wagon work, Nothing
is more useful on the London streets at
present than thick, square-set horse-wide
between the tore legs, active and not all
inch more than 16 hands, indeed 152 hands
is good height. They are scarcely pro-
durable, however, and leggy mongrefs of
no apparent breeding from their looks,
have to be taken instead at low prices.
Bates, the great Shorthorn breeder,
was opposed to the idea OF breeding
for excessive size. He saw that the
food OF support was too great in the,
expense Of daily maintenance for the
result obtained. The same principle
is true with horses. Muscular power
and effectiveness are not increased in
proportion to size. -..

A. Montana Man Held Up in an Eau
Claire Fark Drive.
EAU CLAIRE Wis, Special Telegram, Aug.
ll.-A woman whose name is not known
and one Bellesbach, hackdriver, are in
Jail on the charge of highway ROBBERY It
is claimed by G. J. Forrest, who formerly
lived here and has just come back from
Montana, that he and the woman went for
a hack drive Friday night, that in dark
place in the Putnam Park drive the hack
stopped and the driver got down and de-
manded $5 for hack hire; chat immediately
another man came out of the bushes, pre-
sented revolver at Forrest and made him
give up about $240, and that the woman
and the driver were accessories and got up
the plot. The man with the revolver has
not been seen since as lar as known.
The woman formerly appeared as an AL
bino in the side show and rode the elephant
in Forepaugh's circus parade, and she sang
one night here in the chorus OF the Shaw
Opera company. T. '...,s
1t is said Forrest had 81, 900 in money on
his person at the time.
The woman is said to have gone by the
name of Melnotte. ,.
