a., ChiIdren's Hair.

Children's hair requires more atten-
tention than an adults in the way of
cleaning and washing. The best time
to wash a child's head is on a rainy
day, for then they have to stay in the
house and can be easily kept in warm
room until the hair is perfectly dry, so
as to be free from a chance of taking
cold. The best shampoo is lather of
warm soft water and pure CASTLE soap.
A little alcohol rubbed into the scalp
assists the drying and is good stimu
liant as we'll for the hair. After wash
ing, the hair should be allowed to dry
thoroughly before touching the comb
or brush to it. ---B0ston Courier.

The fight all through was the most
notable combat ever waged in Ken
lucky. All sorts of personalities have
been INDUCED in. Disruptions have
occurred in households and members
of the family have not spoken for
weeks.
There were any number of personal
encounters in the district during the
day, and fifty excursions were run and
hundreds of people went to the yari-
Gus towns and worked for the candi-
dates of their choice. In every town
of any size in the eight counties the
women held prayer meetings and pray
ed for the defeat of Colonel Breckin-
ridge. A party of 200 turfmen went
to Lexington from the Latonia race
course and worked for Mr.. Owens. 1t
is estimated that more than 800, 600
changed hands on the result of the
contest.
The feeling worked up over the race
was so bitter that several prominent
gentlemen took out additional life in
surance. To show the interest mani
tested in the result of the race outside
of the district, it is only necessary to
mention that there were 100 newspaper
correspondents in Lexington. One
New York paper ordered "a, 900 words.

conventions, were held in the various

are uninstructed, the question of NOM

Later News.


Further dispatches from Frankfort
state that Ovens majority is 555.
During Saturday night and far into
the early hours of Sunday the friends
of w. G. Owens at Frankfort exhib-
tied their enthusiasm, shooting off
fireworks and parading. Main street
was lined with old and young, cele-
brating the victory. Everywhere
there was anxiety to know the
exact result.
Breckenridge men, in some instances,
still hold out that their man is win
ner and the official count will, IN their
opinion, so declare. Noel Gaines, a
prominent Breckenridge lieutenant, was
asked regarding the threats of contest,
and said:
"What is the use of a contest when
we have the race won? [ honestly be-
lieve Breckenridge has secured the
nomination by safe, but small ma
jority."
An Owens man said that he thought
such talk was "bluff" and showed
clearly that Breckenridge was dying
hard. "But," he added, ''if they at
tempt to defraud our man out OF the
result there will be blood spilled. The
election was too hard fought and won
to be stolen. The first sign OF Chi
canery means blood.
The people generally regard Owens
as the rightful nominee and 1.-The
district committee, which has a major
ity for Breckenridge, declare their IA
vorite the nominee, a split is certain.
BRECKENRIDGE WILL CONTEST.
A Lexington special says: Breckln-
ridges managers claim Ovens plural
isy on the face of the returns is only
165 and say they will contest and have
the election declared for Breckenridge.
Ovens managers deny there is ground
for a contest and still claim 800 as his
majority.

IRON AND STEEL.
The Fesline in the Trade Better and

Cleveland, O., Dec. 6-The Iron Trade
Review says to-day. Although Decem-
Der is usually marked by halting business
and a general waiting for new
year developments. its first week
has shown goodly total Of
iron and steel trading. in some sections
at least. Chicago seems TO lead, the CEN
trail west has been somewhat less active
and the minimum activity appears in the
east. Reports agree that purchases Of
foundry irons have been expanding in
the past four weeks, and the number Of
buyers willing TO contract far into 1885
has increased as signs have appeared
that the tendency Will be upward, rather
than a continuation Of the decline that

statistical position of coke iron up to
Dec. /. and the improbability of any APP
preciable increase for sometime in the
capacity of coke furnaces active, either
north or south.
THE situation as to Bessemer iron is
not clearly developed. There are some
few sales, including January delivery, on
basis of Sl0.40Ul0.50 at Pittsburg.
The fact that the reserve coke pile of
the largest steel producer is TO be made
twice as great as that carried previous to
the recent strike is not regarded as an
index of higher coke and higher coke
wages. The rumors of combination seem
to ignore the fact that an important pro-
ducer will not be found in any arrange
ment of that sort. The question for other
operators to consider is whether there
viii be more money in running their plants
in part at a somewhat higher price, and
allowing this producer to run full at
cut price.
Steel works and rolling mills report
slackened pace of operations as the year
draws to a close.
In the east there is sharp competition on
December business and on finished ma

BARRETr's BIG swINDLE.

A Rumor That One of the Jurors ia
Fixed in the Interest of the Defend
ants.
Columbia, S. c., Dec. 6.-In the United
States court in session here, the big Bar
rett postmaster conspiracy case was called
for trial again to-day. There were four
teen defendants. nearly all of them post
masters whom Barrett had gotten the gov
eminent to appoint at country places all
legged to be towns, bearing their respective
names. At the outset a sensation was
caused by some four or five of them plead
ing guilty and then turning states evil
dence to save themselves. They were
placed on the stand, and one by one they
told the tales of the gigantic scheme to
defraud business houses by the use of the
mails, which originated in Barrett's clever
brain and was most successfully worked.
They would get the pianos, etc, and mort
gage them to each other The trial is
still in progress. The whole gang of con-
spirators will be convicted, no doubt. and
spend the balance of their days in the
Columbus, o., government prison. It is
said, however, that the gang has one
'hXed' member on the jury.

Atlanta, Ca, Dec. 6.-The little town
of Decatur, six miles from this city, had
a sensation to-day. While court was in
session this morning. about $50 o'clock,
Mrs. H. c. Austin, wife of the sheriff of
DeKalb county, rushed wildly into the
court room and brandishing a cooked pis-
tol created a stampede. Mrs Austin, in
the excitement of the moment, before
her intentions could be devined or inter-
fered with, paused long enough to sin
gle out Robert Hardy, one of the sub
stantial citizens of the town, as her
mark. She made a dash towards him, fir
ing a single shot straight at his breast
as she went. The bullet went wide of
its mark, however, and fortunately did no
damage at all. Before Mrs. Austin could
fire second time men overpowered her.
but she did not give up the deadly pistol
without struggle. Mrs. Austin was car
ried into her home. She is said to have
been laboring under fit of insanity She
is 40 years of age. and has always had the

REGISTRATION BILL PASSED.
osborne's Oyster Bill and the Bill to
Sell the Northeastern Also Passed.

Atlanta, Ca. Dec. 6.-The House passed
the general registration bill this morn
ing All the populists voted against It.
and Mr.. West, dem. Of Lowndes. made a
fight on it. but to no effect. his motion to
table being voted down and when he gave
notice Of a motion TO reconsider. the
House ordered the bill Immediately trans
mitted to the Senate. which leaves it
now in the hands Of that body.
While the bill was pending Mr.. Branan
of Fulton arose to a question Of personal
newspapers for their reports Of his ac-
tons on yesterday, when he made a
speech urging the House to accept his
registration bill as a substitute for that
of the committee. Mr.. Brannan said he
had been misrepresented and in his COM
plant said he had deserved better treat
ment at the hands Of Secretary Hoke
Smiths paper. because Mr.. Smith had
himself acknowledged obligation to him
for what he had done TO secure his ap-
pointment as Secretary of the Interior
and he said Business Manager Cabaniss
also had his friendship and II he had
asked him he would have helped to elect
him secretary Of the Senate. As it was,
Mr.. Cabaniss was defeated by Mr.. Clifton
of Darien.
The Senate to-day passed Mr.. Os-
borne's oyster bill
The bill providing for the sale Of the
Northeastern railroad was also passed,
and Immediately transmitted 10 the House.
When the bill prohibiting municipal
corporations from taxing nonresident
Manufacturers merchants or traders
came up there was a prolonged discussion,
the opposition winning and the bill being
killed.
The Joint committee to prepare a bill
TO change the time Of meeting of the
general assembly so as to hold sessions in
the summer submitted their report. They
thought that it was too late now to
change the fiscal year, and to make an
other appropriation, so they recommended
no legislation on the subject at this time.
The appropriation of 1000 for a state
exhibit at the Atlanta exposition hangs
upon a very slender thread. To-day the
House, in committee of the whole, re-
ported adversely upon the resolution, by
a vote of SO to Sc. 1t would probably have
been killed outright but for the adoption
OF motion to adjourn offered by Mr.
Doolan, VINO is a friend of the appropria-
ton. 1t takes lightweight votes to pass
the resolution, and ii is very doubtful if
that number can be obtained. 1t was ex-
pected that the matter would be disposed
of one way or the other at the session to-
night, but IL was not taken up, because
its friends think time may help their
cause. The House tonight spent its time
on the general tax act, passing upon it
by sections. Mr.. Branan of Fulton as
usual, involved the House in confusion
over an attempt to get a clause in the bill
taxing theatrical companies. After up
roar lasting half an hour the Amendment
was killed.
