regarding the embarrassment to
which he was often put by the fact
that their m looked very much

of this dilemma. and finally Justice
Brown had a turn, says Joe Mitchell

The Father of his Country concealed a
luxuriant suit of hair beneath his queue
wig. Many now wish the old fashion were
in vogue, to conceal thinned hair or bald
ness. Yet no one need have thin hair nor
be bald, if he cure the dandruf that causes
both. Dandruff cannot be cured by scour-
ing the scalp, because it is a germ disease,
and the germ has to be killed. Newbro's
Herpicide kills the dandruff germ-no other
hair preparation will. destroy the cause,

dandruff but to kill the germ.

It had long been considered a public

HULL'S KNIFE
WAS FOUND
scHooNovER's WATCH CHAIN
ALSO RECOVERED.
It Was Given to Rodney by Hull So
the Former Said Yesterday When
He Turned It Over to the Police.
There Was a Big Crowd at the
Station in Honesdale When the
Train Bearing the Sheriff and His
Prisoner Arrived.

Winans Hull, suspected of the muir
der of Edwin Schoonover, was taken
from the city yesterday morning to
Wayne county by Sheriff Armbrust
and will there be put on trial for the
crime. The evidence against the
young Carbondale man grows daily
stronger and there is little doubt in
the minds of the local police as to
his guilt.
The gold watch and chain which
Schoonover wore when he left home
were found in the possession of Henry
Rodney. of Maple Lake. with whom
HUI was stopping when arrested.
Rodney stated that it had been given
him by Hull. Captain Davis yesterday
morning paid a second visit to the
Maple Lake farm and while there
found the knife with which the murder
is supposed to have been committed.
1t was lying on the ground near a
barrel against which Hull was leaning
when arrested and was partially con-
cealed The prisoner had evidently
dropped It from his pocket the instant
he saw Captain Davis approaching
him.
The weapon is about ten inches long,
| length and broad and massive looking.
| The handle is of dark wood. The
| weapon has no very keen edge, but
| has very sharp point and is just the
sort of knife with which wounds like
| those which caused Schoonover's death
would be made.
Captain Davis also brought to the
central city station Hull's Victor bi-
cycle. which is supposed to have beer
stolen by him. but which he claims to
have purchased in Philadelphia. The
| removal of the name plate and othel
| peculiar circumstances about the ap'
pearance of the wheel give room FOL
suspicion as to the legality of the own
cr's possession.
Early yesterday morning Sheriff
| Armbrust started for Honesdale viii
: his prisoner When the train reached
| Carbondale there was quite crowC
| present to see Hull and when the trair
reached Honesdale half the people o
the town were present to get glimpse
of the alleged murderer.
In Wayne county there is very
! unfriendly feeling shown toward Hull
