LINCOLN AND THE HAIR RESTORER.

Here Is story Of President Lincoln
from the late Judge Carter, who was
q member of congress from Cleveland
during the war and one Of Mr.. Lin
coins most intimate friends. It re-
lates to a Quaker philanthropist from
Philadelphia who did not have hair
on his head, but took great interest
in public affairs and was constantly
calling at the White House In behalf
Of somebody or other who happened
to be in trouble and took up q great
deal Of Mr.. Lincoln's time. The presi-
dent treated him with great courtesy,
although his patience was frequently
tried. One day when the philanthro-
pist was particularly verbose and per
sIstent and refused to depart, although
he knew that important delegations
were waiting, Mr.. Lincoln suddenly
rose, walked over to wardrobe in the
corner Of the cabinet chamber and took
a bottle from q shelf. Handing 1t to
| bis visitor, he remarked:
"Did you ever use this STUFF on your
head"
mo, sir; never did"
"Well," remarked Mr.. Lincoln, II ad-
wise you to try it, and If at first you
don't succeed, keep it up. They say
it's good thing to make the hair grow.
Take this bottle with you and come
back in six months and tell me how 1t
works"
The astonished philanthropist cover
ed bis polished pate with his broad
brimmed hat and left the room, while
Judge Carter, coming in with the next
delegation, found the president over In
the corner doubled up with laughter
at the success of his strategy, and be-
fore he could proceed to business the
story had to be told.-Chicago Record.

PETITION OF DOUBTFUL VALUE
THE YoRKvILLE ENQUIRER suggests
that 10 keep out of the gubernatorial
race such cranks as G. Walt Whit
man, the state Democratic convention
might amend the party constitution
requiring candidate for the Office of
governor to have petition signed by
a given number of voters from each
county before he shall be recognized
as a candidate. The Columbia State
approves in part this suggestion. The
suggestion, if adopted might be worth
something if it were not for the fact
that people will sign petitions of almost
any nature. 1t is known to be true
that while a few men will refuse to sign
petitions which they will take the pains

VICTIM Of SWITCH ENGINE
Mangl-d Body of an tnidcntihcd Man
Found on the pilot of u Missouri
Pacific Locomotive.

Fragmentury remains OF an unknown man
were found yesterday on the pilot OF
engine Nc 225 Of the Missouri Pacific rail
way as the locomotive pulled into South
Omaha.
Whether II is a case Of accident or murder
remains to be determined. although the gem
oral suppostiou Is that the victim was run
over by the switch engine, either while
lyinE asleep on the track or by being thrown
from the engine while attempting to steal
u ride. The only theory OF possible murder
is that the body may have been bcrcft OF
life when the engine struck II.
The discovery was made at an early hour
and the engine was backed slowly over the
route IT had covered in order TO ascertain
where the body was struck. At the inter
section Of Twenty-ffth avenue with the
railroad tracks a mass OF flesh and clothing
was found and IL is here that the accident
is presumed to have taken place.
Letters found in the pockets OF the man
indicated that his name was Ed Rich OF
Veimilion. S. u. One letter was written TO
him from Omaha and signed by man sub
scribing himself "Your brother, J. NJ.
Rich" and giving his address as care Of
the c. B Liver company. 1401 Harney street.
Coroner Swanson found by inquiry that no
such a man had ever worked for the com
pany. Coroner Swanson proposes to inves-
tigate the case thoroughly and will make
every possible effort to discover the Identity
OF J. NJ Rich. believing that he may be
able to throw some light upon the mystery.

There is good authority for the state
ment that a plan for a radical readjust-
ment OF the capitalization of the Northern
Pacific securities is under way. This pros

adjustment are varied, One report-that
the prior lien bonds are to be retired-is
denied Another rumor Is that the per
