An Elaborate Program Is Likely to
BE Arranged.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, July 10.-Sep-
TENDER has been officially appointed
by the authorities of the Pan American
exposition as Florida day at the exposi.
tion. Two Florida military companies
and one band, the latter from Pensaco-

there is strong probability that other

probable that one will be arranged.
There will doubtless be receptions, and
perhaps addresses and the usual cere.

A Hair Food

: There is this peculiar thing
about our Hair Vigor: it's a
hair food, not dye. 1t
doesn't turn your hair sud-
denly black and make it look
dead and lifeless. But gradu-
ally the old color comes back
to your hair, - all the rich,
dark color it used to have.
And it stops falling of the hair.
Even if your hair isn't COM
ing out, ism t turning gray,
isn't too short, isn't in the least
unsatisfactory, yet you certainly
want a fine dressing for it.
You can't get anything better
than Ayers Hair Vigor. It
keeps the scalp clean and
healthy, makes the hair grow
rapidly, prevents it from fall
ing out, and does not allow a
single gray hair to appear.

When a short distance from the
ferry he passed a man walking who
asked for a ride. Toothaker took him
in and asked where he was bound. The
Stranger replied "Wiscasset." When
told that he was on the wrong road he
replied Never mind, might as well
go up this way
Toothaker sized the man up carefully
and found that he corresponded per-
fectly with the description of McLain
He was nervous in appearance and as
Mr.. Toothaker looked him over the
man grew more and more fidgety. He
finally said he guessed he'd get out and
dropped over the side of the sleigh and
went into a patch of thick wood. His
right coat sleeve was torn.

who spent Tuesday night at the police
station and signed his name Pat Nc
Carttey." They had no description of
McI.ain, as Sheriff Pearson had not
sent one and did not hold the man.
Since reading the description in the
papers they think he may be the man
wanted. The signature he left on the
police slate looks very much like the

and they say they never saw the name
spelled Mccartney before.

A REWARD OF $500
Will Probably Help the Attempts TO Locate
John Mclain.

Portland. Me, Jan. LIT is now
thought that John McLain is miles
away from the scene of his brutal
crime at Gorham. While the officers
are still completely baffled as to his
location, they consider there is no long
er any doubt that John McLain is the
man wanted
An additional clue to his identity was
secured. tonight. The fugitive has tat
toed on one of his arms two inter-
locked hearts with an arrow piercing
them.
AS McLain belonged somewhere in
the provinces. it is thought he has
more than likely crossed the border,
where he may be known by an entire
ly different name, as he had gone by
more than one in this locality.
1t is probable that the town of Cor
ham will hold meeting as soon as
possible and offer a reward of 5000 for
