Do You Use It.?

It's the best thing for the
hair under all circumstances.
Just as no man by taking
thought can add an inch to
his stature, so no preparation
can make hair. The utmost
that can be done is to pro-
mote conditions favorable to
growth. This is done by
Ayers Hair Vigor. 1t re-
moves dandruff, cleanses the
scalp, nourishes the soil in
which the hair grows, and,
just as a desert will blossom
under rain, SO bald heads grow
hair, when the roots are nour-
ished. But the roots must be
there. If you wish your hair
to retain its normal color, or
if you wish to restore the lost
tint of gray or faded hair use

THE oRATORICAL CONTEST.
Dowagiac Captures First Honors. witt
Paw Paw I'm Second Place.

The district oratorical contest took
place in the Baptist church in this place
last week Friday evening, and was
participated in by representatives of the
high schools of Paw Paw, Dowagiac,
Battle Greek, Allegau and Hastings,
each representative having won sim
liar contest in bis home school, with
the same oration. The manuscripts
had been sent to the University of
Michigan, where three members of the
faculty had marked them as to style
and thought. In the public contest
here, delivery only was considered, and
for this the faculty of Olivct college had
selected as Judges Mr. G.. X. Wilkes of
Allegan, Hon B. +. Heckert and Rev.
G. =. Linderman of Paw Paw. After
the contest, the university markings
and the delivery markings were averag-
ed. with the following results
Dowaglac ------------- go
Paw Paw
hastings -oI'o
Battle Greek
Allegan -------------- ------ol4
All the orations were very creditable
indeed, and the evenpess of the mark
ings shows how difficult it was to make
a decision.
The rece1ptS at the door were 5lSoo
and the expenses S5 80. The balance,
81 35, was deposited in the bank as
fund to defray the expenses of the Paw
Paw contestant to Dowagiac next year,
when another contest will be held. A
permanent contest association was or
ganized by those here Friday, to hold a
contest between the same schools each
year.

Reduced Rates to Washington on Ac-
count of the Inauguration via
Pennsylvania Railroad.

For the benefit of those who desire to al
tend the ceremonies incident to the inau
guration of President-elect Mckinley, the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company will sell
excursion tickets to Washington March 1, 2
5, and 4, valid to return from March to 8,
at the following rates:
From Philadelphia, $5.40; Harrisburg
S5.06; Wilmington, 4.35; Baltimore, $1.6C
and from all other stations on the Pennsyl
vania system at reduced rates.
This Inauguration will be most inter
esting event, and will undoubtedly attract
large number of people from every sec
ton OF the country.
The magnificent facilities of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad make this line the faVorite
route to the national capital at all times
and its enormous equipment and splendid
terminal advantages at Washington make
it especially popular on such occasions.

POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS.

The committee on elections in the Senate
heard argument in behalf of Col. duPonts
claim on Thursday but no action was
taken.
Several of the States are wrangling over
the election of United States Senators. On
Thursday Henry Heitfelt, a Populist Ger
man who can hardly speak English, was
elected in Idaho over ex-senator Dubois.
He received the vote of 25 Populists, 13
Democrats and one Republican.
Attorney General White has been in
Wilmington this week and with his deputy
he has been preparing indictments in the
election fraud cases: He says these cases
will be pushed. 1t will be remembered that
counsel for Mr.. Cheairs in his contest
agsinst Mr.. Dickey boldly asserted that the
whole truth in this matter would compli-
cate men higher in the party than the in
spectors.
And now it is proposed to legislate out of
Office the Levy Courts of Kent and Sus-
sex counties, substituting Democratic COM
mission for Republican officials elected
by the people. 1t was done SO efficiently in
this county that the politician looks upon
it as an easy job. Perhaps. but New Castle
at the last election gave 1000 Republican
majority and such unfair acts will make
Republican votes in Kent and Sussex.
One way of getting offices is to legislate,
or so it has been in Delaware A bill in the
General Assembly proposes to continue the
present city officials in Wilmington in Office

doing away with the election next June.
The plea is economy, the object is legal ap-
preparation of Office for fear the people
will turn them out. 1t is wrong and will
not pay in the end.
The cour on Thursday ordered the cleo
ton officers of West Dover hundred to
count the ba llotsand make return by to-
day at o'clock. The matter of counting
The fl u returns fer the county will then be

ceived this week the brief for Col du-
Points application to re-examine his
case. TO the lay reader it appears ex-
haustive and conclusive that the case
should be re-opened. The cases cited
show that In the past the contentious
of the Democrats have been on the
line with the argument OF Col. du-
Points counsel. In addition to this it
has developed this week that the reso-
luton denying Col. DUPONT admission
was adopted by strategy, the pair of
Senator Wolcott being transferred to
Senator Jones of Nevada without their
consent or the filing of the proper no.
tice. It is said to be . trick of Sena-
torBrice. Col. DUPONT has invited the
attention of the Senate to the matter
but it Is said the silver sentiment,
without regard to right or to party,
will unite to seat Gen. Kenney. This
fact of itself is enough to invite the
attention Of the Nation to the. situa-
tion in this State.
And then the application of Mr..
Addicks with the memorials from the
Legislature which elected him and the
Presidential Electors of the State, set
ting forth the political condition here,
invite unfavorable comments upon Jour
people. So far as we know the politi-
cal conditions are as bad as stated but
the people are not corrupted to the ex-
tent outsiders believe. There are
those who abuse and denounce Mr..
Addicks who know that the evil da tes
beyond his advent into politics. He
but emphasized it and as citizens Of
Delaware to-day we are paying the
penalty of our political sins, but we
are not the corrupt people we are made
to appear. The sore spots have been
brought to the surface and there is
hope they may be healed. In this mat
ter every Delawarean should lose sight
of party and party advantage and
should patriotically unite to uphold
principles, organizations and men
standing for a better Delaware. We
believe Mr.. Addicks has done the peo-
of the State favor in what appears to
many his very presumptuous and ridic-
ulous claims Of election to the Senate.
He has shown up evils too long con-
cealed and has made the desire for re-
form more general within the State.
Delaware has been subject too much to
politicians, many of them good men
under whose cloak the political scoun-
drel has screened himself and for the
sake of party LIE has been too often
screened. We should get good out of
all this evil for the intentions of the
great majority of our people are good.
