WAS PERFECTLY BALD WHEN HE
STARTED TO USE NEWBRO'S
HEhPICIDE.

Frederick Manuel, Maryland block.
Butte, Montana. bought a bottle Of New
bros Herpicide. April 6, 80, and began to
use it for entire badness. In 20 days,
he says, he had hair all over his head.
and on July 2 he writes, and to-day his
hair is as thick and luxuriant as any
one could wish. Newbro's Herpicide
works on an old principle and with a new
discovery-destroy the cause and you
remove the effect. Herpicide destroys
the germ that causes dandruff. falling
hair. and finally badness, SO that with
the Cause gone the effect cannot remain.
Stops falling hair at once and starts the
new growth in q week.

Are Demanding a Higher Scale-An
Advance Granted at the kOOntz
Bank.
Delegates from the local coal min
ers, at the Richland, Koontz, Ben
wood mill, Glendale and Moundsville
mines met at the Farmers House,
Sunday afternoon and agreed to ask
the operators to pay the Indianapolis
scale. An effort was made to see the
operators yesterday, but only two
could be found.
Mr.. Gilchrist, of the Richland mines,
was asked last night if any scale had
been presented to him.
81 have no trouble at our mines,
was the answer.
But did the men present any scale
to you today?" was asked.
ooh, don't care anything about it,
was the only reply given.
At the Koontz mines it was learned
that the men had presented a new
scale to Mr.. KoontZ for adoption and
had been granted an advance of ap-
proximately 20 per cent. The increase
is to 55 cents a car. The former wage
was As cents. IN
Nothing could be learned OF the
other mines.

NEW YORK, April 2.-Dave Sulli-
van. of Boston and Eddie Gardner, of
Wheeling, w. Va, fought hard battle
before the Hercules Athletic club of
Brooklyn at 124 pounds tonight and
after Sullivan had been practically
knocked out in the sixteenth round he
came again and had Gardner so groggy
in the nineteenth round that the lat
ter's brother, Oscar, the Omaha Kid, =
jumped into the ring and threw up the
sponge to save Eddie from being
knocked out.
Gardner proved himself to be as sturdy
as his more famous brother. At times he
seemed to be on the verge of collapse but
surprised everybody, particularly Sullivan
by coming back with right swing when
ever he saw an opening. He played foxy
tricks and many times when he was ap-
parently weak he suddenly revived and
landed hot blows on Dawes body and head
At the close quarters Gardner delivered
hard blows on Dawes body, but got back
better than he sent
In the sixteenth round Gardner swung a
right on Dawes jaw and Sullivan went
down in a heap. He got up in about five
seconds, dazed and stood with his back tc
Gardner, while Madden stepped between
Gardner went around Referee Madden
and swinging his left, landed flush or
Dawes face, flooring him. Madden slipped
and fell to the floor at Sullivan's side. Ir
getting up the referee helped Sullivan to
his feet and seemed to be leading him to
his corner when Sullivan revived suffi-
GENTLY to put up his hands and Nader
allowed him to continue when everybody
thought the bout was stopped
Sullivan regained his strength quickly
and soon had Gardner in difficulties. Mean
while the crowd became wild and shouted
to the referee in no uncertain tones. II
looked as if there was going to be a rough
time, but the police after ejecting few
men, succeeded in controlling the specta-
tors. When the nineteenth round had al
most been completed, Gardeners brother
threw up the sponge and Sullivan got the
decision.

THE INQUIRE OUTRAGE.
Additional Details OF the Robbery
on short Creek.


Last night additional details of the
robbery of the Mcclure residence, on
the upper waters of Short creek, this
county were received by the Register.
The main facts of the outrage are con-
tanned in telegram on the Second
page of this ISSUE
After torturing Mr. Mcclure by hold
ing lamp to his feet, and obtaining
the money, the gang went to the kit
chen and ate luncheon. They then
informed Mr.. Mcclure and his two
sisters, who had been tied and put in
separate rooms, that if they made any
attempt to alarm the neighbors they
would return to the house and either
kill them or set the building on fire.
The robbers then went to the stable,
took out several horses, and left in
the direction of the Pennsylvania line.
When near the line they turned the
horses loose and crossed into the other
State.
There were five men in the party.
One is described as tall and slender,
one short and heavy set, one OF med
ium size, and fourth as small man.
No description of the fifth man was
obtainable, and the data, as it is, is
very meager. The gang is supposed by
the people in the vicinity to be the
same one which robbed the Parkinson
residence, last September.
The authorities were promptly mott
fed of the outrage yesterday morning,
and every effort will be made to run
the robbers down, as this sort of work
is becoming entirely too common in
this vicinity. 1t is pretty safe to say
that if the Short creek farmers get
hold of the crowd there will be more
need for the Coroner than for the
Sheriff.
Mr. Mcclure was suffering great
deal from his burns, yesterday, and
will probably not be able to be about
for some days.
