Brusl,ing IMPROVES the Halr.


The very best brushes should
always be chosen, and at the
very least one hundred strokes a
day should be vigorously admin
istered. The bristles of the brush
should not be SO hard as to drag
the hair out in case Of a tangle
obstructing their course. Nor
should they be yielding. 1t is
useless to brush the hair unless
the skin of the head be brushed
as well. The friction stimulates
it and makes the hair grow.
Brushing the hair with slow and
languid strokes is SIMPLY useless.
Vigor and intention are necessa-
ry to produce a really good effect
and induce the bright, healthy
gloss that hair should have

thousand inhabitants, with no police, no
mayor and no city government. is described
by bill Arp" the Southern author, in
newspaper article to-day. Pelzer, >. C.,
is the subject of this sketch.
Major Smith has just returned from Pei
ger. He declares that no lawyers or edi-
tors are permitted to live within the
towns limits, as the inhabitants have no
use for such professions. The entire town
is owned by Southern cotton-mill corpo-
ration. of which Capt. Smythe, OF Charles
ton. is the head. This latter parsonage is
denominated king of the town by "Bill

habitants There are few doctors In the
town. one photographer and free library
Four preachers perform their functions, but
there are no saloons. blind tigers or cigar
cites. Negroes are not allowed TO live in the
town. and. although they live on the out
skirts and do some OF the heavier chores,

DEATHS In INDIANA.
Under the New Law Many More Re-
ports Are Made Public.

In connection with the forthcoming re-
port Of the State Board Of Health on the
vital statistics Of the State, II il stated that
the report will show that the death rate
during the first month Of the year was
considerably over 1000 greater than that
of the same month last year. This does not.
1t is claimed. mean that the death rate
was really higher, but rather than many
deaths were never recorded under the old
system Of collecting statistics. Under the
new law, passed last winter, the unre-
corded deaths are reduced to a minimum
and it is expected when the system is per-
fected, the law contemplates a more
startling showing will be made. Every day
reports are received from places never be-
fore heard from, indicating that the COM
pulsory feature Of the law attracts the at
tention Of officials who formerly gave the
state board little. II any. attention.
There Is considerable apprehension among
the members of the State Board over the
possibility that the boards appropriation
will not be large enough to last TO the end
of the fiscal year, as the expense Of carry
ing on the work has been greater than was
at first expected In discussing this one OF
the members said that IL would not be any
surprise to him II the board would sail
under bare poles during the last three
months OF the year.

testing His Innocence.

CHICAGO Nov. H.-Michael Emil Roll
linger, who murdered his wife last Deem
Der and then set fire to the house in an en-
deavor to hide his crime, was hanged In the
sailyard to-day. The drop fell at 1907 p.
m. Rolinger's neck was broken by the
fall, and he was pronounced dead fifteen
minutes later. In an imprisoned speech
from the gallows Rollinger protested his in

wronged. All mis- money had been taken
from him to carry the case TO the Supreme
Court, which was not done. II say before

Rollingers crime was the murder OF his
wife Theresa. at their home in this city.
Dec 16 1893 The manner in which he is
said TO have disposed of his wife first
by choking her and then building a fire
with some furniture and placing the body
on II. Suspicion was aroused by his actions
and an investigation by the police resulted
In his arrest for murder. The motive for
lis crime. IL is said was the love of Lena
Hecker a woman who hailed from the
same country (Austria) as Roliinger. IL is
supposed that he killed his wife in order
that he might marry the girl. He had two
trials. the first resulting in a disagreement
OF the jury. One of the chief witnesses
against him was his eleven-year-old son,
who declared all the children had been sent
away on a slight pretext the day the crime
a said to have been committed.
