NEW SCIENTIFIC PROCESS.
A Preparation Discovered That viii De-

For some time it has been known that
dandruff is caused by a germ that
digs up the scalp into little white
flakes, and by sapping the vitality of
the hair al the, root, causes falling
hair, and, of course, finally badness.
For years there have been all kind
of hair stimulants and scalp tonics
on the market, but there has been nc
permanent cure for dandruff until the
discovery of a preparation called New
bros Herpicide, which destroys the
dandruff germ. Destroy the cause the
effect will cease to exist Kill the

GOOD WILL
Marks the Relations Between the
United States and Germany---There
is no Quarrel.

Berlin, January 1.-THE ambassador
here of the United States in an inter-
view to-day with correspondent of
the Associated Press said that the
whole furry of indignation in the two
countries is just as baseless this year
as last and may even be more baseless.
He added:
In my judgment it emanates entire
ly from small number of people who
seek to fish in troubled waters. AS a
matter CT fact. Germany knows, and
shows that she knows, her only true
policy in the east is to remain on good
terms with the United States She has
no earthly motive TO take the side of
the Spaniards or the insurgents or to
STIR them up or egg them on. That
there are some Germans at Hong Kong
and elsewhere who think they do not
Ike Americans is just as true as there
are some Americans there and else
where who do not like Germans, but
such gentlemen direct neither the pol
icy of our State Department nor that
or the German foreign office. The re-
latlons of our country and Germany
We're perfectly harmonious during the
war, and since the war the Germans
have acQuiesced to our suggestions
They saw from the beginning how the
war was TO end and they accepted the
situation cordially. So far from quar-
reling at this late day over Pacific pos
sessions, they are more and more in
clined to work with us in the extern
sion of commerce and civilization. Only
about a week age they telegraphed to
their consular representative at Iloilo
on no account to land a force for
the protection of the Spaniards. but to
leave that matter TO the Americans.
"Resepcting the meat question, there
is every reason to believe that the new
condition of things will be much more
favorable to the United States than the
old condition"
The Cologne Gazette this morning
publishes an inspired article explain
ing the alleged injustice Of the Amer
lean imputation against Germany, con
Guiding with saying:
The German government does not
fight with its vizor down. But be-
sides, in view of the fact that German
industry necessarily needs the Ameri-
can market, it would be incredibly fool
ish to indulge in a policy of hostility
towards the American people" j

THE NUGGETS.
A Rehearsal to be Held Tomorrow After
noon, at Egerter Hall.

There will be a rehearsal of the
Mdgets at Egerter Hall tomorrow
afternoon. Fred. H. Decker & Co., of
New York, who control the right Of this
wondrous juvenile play, will be here
to teach the children their dramatic
situations, drills, etc. The young peO-
pie of our city to the number of 200
have been hard at work for several
weeks in the preparation of this new
and novel cantata, and all are looking
forward to it's presentation with a great
deal of interest. A visit to the Mystic
Midgets will amply repay the rest of
us, who are but children of larger
growth, and a glimpse behind the
scenes reveals the love of the mys-
teries and the wonders of fairyland.
All the favOrite characters will be
there.
The cantata opens on the Isle of
Flowers. The meeting of the fairies
on the first of June and the celebration
of the anniversary Of flowers is in prog
ress. The queen organizes her court
but is interrupted by a mysterious Wis
itor one of the gnomes in disguise. A
serious council takes place. They are
made happy by the arrival of courier
dove bearing a message to the queen
from the Mystic Midgets, who purposes
making a tour of the world and who
intend to land on this island. The
prince has with him the magic wand
which is able to conquer all things,
aye, even beasts.
After the representatives of each ma
ton have introduced themselves to the
fairies, the golden chest is delivered
containing the magic wand, but the
key is forgotten in the hurry. The
chest containing the wand Is after
wards stolen by the mischevious
gnomes. The prince of the midgets
then pledging his assistance TO the
queen, starts with his army to recover
the chest. After numerous conflicts
with the enemy they are finally routed.
The gnomes are then turned into hogs,
dogs, dOnkeys, etc, and made to dance
to amuse the assembled guests. This
scene always brings down the house.
The queen then gives her hand to the
prince forever. uniting the midgets and
fairies, The picture that is presented
in the varied marches. minuettes,
and tableaux is beautiful beyond de-
scriptiOn. See the Midgets at the
Opera House January Goth and 9th,

terrain church.

Special TO the Register
Clarksburg, w Va. January IA
For the past two days the court has
been occupied in the trial of Ernest
Johnson, charged with maliciously
shooting a colored boy by the name OF
Mathew Brent. 1t seems that Brent
had told Johnson not to follow GER
tain girl. Johnson told Brent he did
not want to have any trouble. Brent
followed Johnson TO a place near the
Walker House. "where he struck him,
and thereupon Johnson shot Brent.
The jury found Johnson not guilty OF
malicious shooting, but guilty of un-
lawful shooting Notwithstanding the
punishment was one year or not more
than five in the penitentiary, the court
exercised its discretionary right, and
also the recommendation of the jury,
and fined Johnson $40 and six months
imprisonment in the county Jail.

NEED PRACTICAL MEN.

The necessity of a recognition of the
roadway and track department as an
important element in successful rail
way operation has been repeatedly
taken up by the railway press. While
my readers may not all Of them agree
with the position taken by the princi-
pal speaker in the following quotation
from a Texas exchange, the vividnesS
of the language seems to warrant its
reproduction:
DO you know, Dinnis, that the rail-
road business has gone to the divil in
the coontry," said Mr.. Finnegan, as he
proceeded to fill his pipe preparatory
to the MONDAY smoke. Sure and l
do, said Dennis. Il have been long
mistroOstin' that the railway commits
sion is to blame for it all, and that it
would be better for the wOrkin' min if
the big salaries which we pay livery
year were added to the pay rolls of the
min and disbOOrsed in the way of bit
Terminus and extensions av the road p"
You're right there, Dinnis, but only
In part. There's bigger question
than that at the bottom, Dinnis. 1t is
the want of practical min in charge
of the situation. Do you mind, Dinnis,
when you and l were in the push, twin
ty years ago. the railroads were in the
hands of practical min, and it wad de-
light your heart to see a train round
a curve with two engines and forty
cars, with twinty brakeys swingin' on
for dear life by their two hands gOin'
forty mile an hour; the superintendent
cOllectin the fares and lOokin' after
the comfort of the passengers on the
fat cars, and the prisidint in the
cOopalo givin' orders with bith hands
and cussin' the cOOntrymen for cross
in the track. But look at thin now,

The Baltimore & Ohio Company the
past week contracted with three diff
ferent companies for the building of
fifty-one bridges between Benwood and
Chicago. A short time ago the Regis
ter published exclusively the report
that the main line between the above
points was to be improved on a very
extensive scale. The plans as were ar
ranged call for new bridges, new rails,
and, in fact, everything necessary so
that the heavy freight and passenger
traffic can be handled with the greatest
ease. The line clear through TO Bal
timore will also be placed in the same
shape, and by the time summer comes
there will be many changes on this div
ision of the road. The receivers of the
B. & o. have made it one of the great
est trunk lines in the country, but they
do not intend to stop until it is at the
top of the list. When the report of the
proposed improvements were annOunc-
ed to be made in this territory, there
were many who paid little attention to
it, but the railroad men in general
have been expecting something on this
end of the line and naturally there was
much rejoicing when the contract was
given out a few days ago for the cree
ton of the above bridges. What the
company intends doing when the road
is in shape will be the running of all
through passenger trains on this divis-
ion, as was done years ago. This
alone is no small matter, and it will be
quite an item for Wheeling Trains
that were taken off and run by way of
Pittsburg, will be placed back and all
stead of being sent over the Akron div
ision, will come through Benwood
Junction. This is the reason@the COM
pany have to have new bridges erected
and the eighty-five pound rails laid.
Heavier locomotives will be used and
many more men will be needed. On

that the B. & o. will soon make an i'm
portant improvement at White Hall.
At this point the company have an I'M
usually heavy grade, and it is a hard
matter for heavy passenger trains to
get over it. let alone freights. The
plans are now being prepared to cut
this grade down considerably, which
means a large expenditure of money on
this division. On the third division,
east of Grafton, changes will also be
made at several points, all of which
confirms the report published by this
paper as to what the company intended
doing some time ago. The work Of
building the bridges mentioned is to
commence at once. and by the first of
May we can expect many more trains
of both classes being run through Ben
wood Junction.

EXAGGERATED REPORTS.
Architect Giesey Thinks the Fifth Ward
Building Perfectly safe.

M. F. Giesey, the architect, stated last
evening that there was no reason for
alarm concerning the safety of the Fifth
ward school building. 1t is true that a
little weakness is noticeable in the foun-
dalton by reason of a stone falling out.
and that the building shakes sometimes,
but it is not unsafe. t
Mr.. Giesey remained in the building
during the whole of the severe storm Of
yesterday morning, and there was not a
sign of a culver throughout the whole
building. Owing to the fact that parents
are uneasy. no school viii be held at the
building Monday next.
The matter has been referred to the
Board, which will meet Monday evening
and take some action in the premises
The foundation stones of the building
were laid on heavy oak planks, because
the ground was marshy, when the excava-
ton for the present building was made

HORN HERE AGAIN.

z. T. Horn, general yard master Of
the B. & 0. company, with headquar-
tiers at Baltimore, was at Benwood
Junction the past week looking after
the situation in the freight department.
AS has been noted, the yards at the
above place have been blocked on sew
eral occasions by reason of the heavy
traffic, and Mr.. Horn arrived on the
scene to remedy matters. He made
several minor changes in different de-
partments. one of which is that all
east-bound trains get their empty cars
at Boggs' Run now, instead of at the
Junction as before. He is a thorough
railroad man, and during his stay is
said to have caused much uneasiness
to be felt by many of the employees,
who thought they would be fired
Nothing OF the sort happened, however,
