has been taken that the illusion produced
by carpenter and painter and decorator is
complete, and there will be no angles and
undlsgu1sed stairways and gallery rails to
mar the artistic ensemble.
The fair, in celebration of the fiftietn
anniversary of the San Francisco Turn
Verein, will open tomorrow night AMI
will continue for nine days
AS one enters the hall to the right of

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
A WOMAN TO BE PRETTY
Must Have Luxuriant and Glossy
Hair, No Matter What Color.

The finest contour of a female face, the
sweetest smile Of a female mouth, loses
something if the head is crowned with
scant hair. Scant and falling hair 1T is
now known, is caused by a parasite that
burrows into the scalp to the root of the
hair, where it saps the vitality. The iit-
tie white scales the germ throws up in
burrowing are called dandruff. To cure
dandruff permanently, then, and to stop
falling hair, that germ must be killed
Newbro's Herpicide, an entirely new re-
suit of the chemical laboratory, destroys
the dandruff germ and, of course, stops
the falling hair and cures badness.

]. P. Rowe in this city between three and
four years ago. Rowe was at that time
superintendent of the asphalt works at

SUICIDE LEAVES
BUT SMALL CLEW
Mans Clothing Found
on Wharf at Powell
Street.

A report was made to the Police De-
partment yesterday morning of the find
ing of a mans clothing on the wharf at
the foot of Powell street on the previous
night and it is thought the owner Of the
clothing committed suicide by jumping
into the bav.
At 1O:3O on Wednesday night H F.
Stone, night watchman for the Simpson
Lumber Company, found the clothes on
the end of the Powell-street wharf
Stone stated yesterday that he had seen
no one around the wharf and could throw
no light on the mysterious find The cloth
ing consisted of a light brown top coat,
a dark blue serge sack coat, a black Fe-
dora hat and pair of black lace boots.
In the pocket of the sack coat was a
small red leather memorandum book
The names, Gus Erickson, Arlington
Hotel, Bakersfield and Bert Tibbitts"
were written in pencil on one page and on
another was written Mr.. w. E. Burke,
please give the key to Joe; he has bought
the house, and oblige Rowe and Russell"
On a torn page of the book was written
Antoine Cook, Asphaltum, Gala; Georg
Wyley, Decota; 243 Third street, 11S9 Fol-
som street."
On the fly leaf of the book the address
j. p. Rowe, Piute. Gala" was family
peared on the other fly leaf
On the top of the clothing was found a
piece Of a silk handkerchief with the let
ter R embroidered on it.
Absolutely nothing else was found In
the clothing to give clew as to the iden-
titY of the owner
inquiries made at the city addresses
found in the memorandum book showed
that no one was known at those places
who dressed in the manner indicated by
the clothing found on the wharf.
1t is thought from the fact that the
name u. p. Rowe" appears on each fly
leaf of the memorandum book found in
the overcoat and also that the piece Of a
silk handkerchief found in the clothing
bore the initial r." that Rowe was the
name OF the owner of the clothing.
Inquiries made by telegraph in Bakers
field last night show that Gus Erickson
was formerly clerk of the Arlington Ho-
tel and IS now keeping a cigar store. Tib-
bits was located as a watchman for the
Kern County Land Company.
