The agent smiled genially. 1t was
his boast that he never lost a sale.
He sat down and took bottle of the
restorer out of his bag. This has

then interrupted himself. You must
have been unusually good-looking

critically, without a trace of vulgar
fiattery.

they can see a mans bare skull and

The hair-restorer agent began to
look a little tagged, but he continued,
gamely: There's one other point
that I'm sure will appeal to a man
ike you. Hair acts as a cover and a
protection to the head, and the brains
within. Even leaving out the colds,

of hair, there's the direct harm to the

eases never attack a person with

full play to the brain, and saves the
necessity of a wet towel tied around

whose brains cannot absorb all the

carefully-smust have a brain in a

an unnatural crop of hair to grow

The agent looked long and sorrow-
fully at the bald-headed man, then
put the bottle back in his satchel and
went softly out of the door. The ques-
ton of the irresistible force and the
immovable body was solved.-Life.

The Chicago Campaign.

A most intese and bitter cam. paign is in progress in Chicago over the Mayorality of thad city. There arc three candidates for Mayor, a Republican and two Democrats. The Democratic candidates are May or Carter Harrison, the present in cumbent, and former Goyerner John P. Altgeld who is running as an independent. Altgeld is governed by pique and jealousy and is makin g the race against Harrison in order to wrest the Democratic organiza- ton from him. Carter Harrison has made Chicago a fearless and an honest may and was successful n defeating, over the head of poodle council, several of Yerkes' schemes to gain valuable street railway fran chlses. Of Harrison's candidacy the Chicago Record, an independ- ent and usually non-pal tisan news , paper, says.
 While it would be manifestly an fair to give Mayor Harrison all or even most of the credit for the suc- cess in defeating the schemes laid under the Alen law, for to it many elements in the community have contributed, it still remains true that of tbe men now consplcuously before the public he is the one who is the embodiment of the anti. Allen law sentiment. It's for this reason that the Yerkes forces are trying to break him down and thereby dis credit the policy which he repre-. sents. The reelection of Harrison means complete and undisputed rec ognition in this city and state of the principle that holders of public franchises must pay an adequate re turn to the people. Because of the services already rendered by him in this respect Ma1or Harrison is es- peeially deserving of reward at the hands of the ci5izens of Chicago. From the peoples point of view also he stands for the peoples rights, and they will advance their own inter ests in serving notice by returning him to the office of mayor that they will continue to maintain their rights

A negro has been lynched in Llt-
 tie River county. It is stated that he confessed to the murder of a prominent planter and it may be true that he was guilty. The men who took the law into their own hands will feel licensed to do so again should crime of any kind be committed in their vicinity, and af- ter while they will want to mob anyone who happens to incur their displeasure. Thus the evil effects of mob violence is made apparent and the ever-increasicg tendency to discredit our legal institutions is a subject for grave consideration. Why has the legislature neglected a matter of so much importance to the people? It is not too late even now to enact law that would les sen mob violence, Ark. Democrat.

L'he Supreme Evil.

Observant students of prevailing conditions in this country will not be surprised by the fact that the Re publican party itself is becoming alarmed and apprehensive at the grave menace of the trust evil now so rapidly developing to it's fullest proportions.
 Coincident happenings of recent date have fully awakened the pao- pie of the United States to the great dangers of the trust system. A shamelessly bold attempt to bribe the Attorney General of Ohio into a corrupt neutrality towards trust or ganizations has been exposed. The man was tempted by the offer of $500, ,000 to abasdon the legal prosecution of trusts in Ohio courts. He chan ed to be an honest man, but it was not tke fault of the trusts that he remained honest. Under their code of ethics they were willing to pay his price. if he had a price.
 When this guilty negotiation for the purchase of Attorney General Monett's personal and official honor was under way, an unparalleled rush of trust formation was to be noted in the daily news, and ther still continues. The trust willingness to buy the Attorney General of Ohio extends to all other States and to every State officer and member of the judiciary capable of obstructing the trust system. The widening of the scope of the trusts means the widening of the demoralizing infu- ence which the trusts are prompt to exercise upon emergency. Their sway must be absolute-they must own men as well as material and markets.
 It is difficult to imagine a greater danger to a country than is con tained in thls evil of trust domin- ation. It will be through Gods providence and their own firm and strenuous exertions that the gpeopl are finally rescued from this danger. But they must not look for leader ship to the Republican party, which itself created and is now owned by the trusts. Democracy is the hope of the people in a war upon the trusts, and faithful Democracy should gird on its armor now for warfare which promises to be epochal in it's bearing upon the future of a free country.

.The Hero of santiago. :.
New orleans States.


 Though General Joe Wheeler pre- ferred to remain Tn the army his services in the field before Santiago have been weighted down in the balance of the appointing power by his advanced age, ostensibly, though really by other considerations'- among which latter is reckoned the necessity of providing for official favorites that has been laid upon the administration.
 The Philadelphia Record, which speaks of him as the 'hero of Santi- ago. says: "On the whole, the
