should be used as little as possible, as it

brush with long bristles will clear the
hair as we'll as a comb without doing it
injury. and the friction stimulates the
scalp and removes dust. The hair should
be left free ut night or ut most loosely

the best taste, for the extreme type Of
fashion never is in the best taste. The
most refined mothers usually clothe their
little people very simply instead Of over
towering them with tinery.
Greenaway hats. which are much like
those Of the directoire style, are used for
little girls. They have rippled brim bor-
dered with fur. Gainsborough and Reyn-
olds hats, with lifted brims trimmed
with plulnes, are another variety much
liked. but too mature and theatrical to be
really suitable for a child.
The picture shows party dress for a
little girl years old. 1t Is of pale pink
crepe de chine. and tho skirt is trimmed
with narrow band Of guipure insertion

Anamosa, Jan. 1s.-A head end colli-
sion between the regular passenger and
special freight occurred about half q
mile this side of Amber on the Midland
division of the Northwestern Tuesday
evening. 1t seems that double-header
extra stock train left here under the
impression that they could make the
Amber side track before the arrival of
the evening passenger, but that in con-
sequence of the slippery condition Of
the rails they We're unable to make the
run in time. There being no telegraph
office at Amber the crew on the pas
senger had no knowledge of there be-
ing any train on the line, and pulled
out on their regular time. The result
was that the trains met about half a
mile out of that place. Engineer Lee
was quite seriously injured, as well as
Express Messenger Hoskinson. Several
others were severely shaken up and
bruised, but none seriously injured ex-
cept the two named. The first engine
on the freight and the one on the pas

HoYT NOT A CANDIDATE.
Nit. Pleasant Man Doesn't Want Larra-
bees Position.

Mt. Pleasant, Jan. 1S.-Dr. Hoyt, SUI
perintendent of the insane hospital
here, states that he is not candidate
for position on the board of control,
and would not accept the appointment
under any circumstances. He is very
well satisfied with his position here.
For some weeks Des Moines newspa-
per writer's have been discussing the
appointment of man to fill the vacan-
cy that will be made by the retirement
of Ex-Governor Larrabee, and it has
been taken for granted that DR.. Hoyt
was a candidate for the place. DR..
Hoyt states, however. that he never
was candidate for the position. Some
time ago a number of his friends urged
him to be candidate and he consent
ed 10 take the matter under advise
ment. Probably supposing that he
would consider the matter favorably
his friends began an active campaign
in his interests. Nearly two weeks
ago, however, DR.. Hoyt informed his
friends that under no circumstances
would he be n candidate for the place,
nor would he accept it even if it was
rendered him., DIR. Hoyt requests that
his position on the matter be made
clear. The discussion over the ap-
pointmenr therefore might as well be
called off, for the doctor has establish
ed reputation of saying what he
means and of meaning what he says,
He will remain where he is.
