FIRE DOES SMALL DAMAGE
sldIns Too Close to Chimney

An incipient blaze at the Over
ION residence on First street, be-
tween Huron and Superior occu
pied at present by the G Carter
family, called out the fire appar
atus at 1905 today. The firemen
responded promptly and upon the
arrival of the team the fire had
gained such little Roadway it was
quickly extinguished. Among re-
sent improvements made on the
house was the building Of a small
addition to the old house. The
siding of the new structure was
built close to the chimney and it
is supposed the wood was ignited
from the chimney.

SOFTNESS Of SEALSk IN
Is RIvaled by Human Hair Where
Dandruff Is EradlCated

IS klVdle0 Dy human Hair where
Dandruff Is EradlCated
Sealskin is admired the world
over for itssoftness and glossiness;
and yet the human hair is equally
as soft and glossy when healthy;
and the radical cause of all hair
trouble is dandruff, which is caused
by pestiferous parasite that saps
the vitality of the hair at its roots.
hebrews Herpicide is the only pre-
paration that is fatal to the dan
druff germ. Without dandrutf no
falling hair but a luxuriant growth
of glossy, soft hair is certain.
Securing the scalp won't cure dan
druff. Kill the dandruff germ.
Thousands of women owe their
beautiful suits of hair to Newbro's
Herpicide. Elliott & Harvey.

NORTHWESTERN TRYING To
SOLVE BRAINARD MYS.
Terry
Claim Department Now Inyestl.
0atin0 the Case.

The shrewdest minds of the Claim
department of the Chicago Il North
western railroad company are now
busily engaged in the effort to unravel
the mystery that surrounds the death
of J. E. Brainsrd, the farmer who was
murdered here Friday night.
Representatives of that Department
arrived in the city last night and are
now carefully reviewing what little
evidence connected with the case the
Harrison County authorities have
been able to collect. 1t is the claim of
the Northwestern representatives that
Brainard did not come to Missouri
Valley from Mondamin as passenger
on any train running between Mon.
DAMN and this city. The crews of
every train coming into this city from
Sioux City on the dates Brainsrd is
supposed to have travelled, but no one
saw him and no positive trace can be
obtained of him subsequent to his ar
rival at Mondsmin.

Saws He Has Located He'll.

NILES, Mich, Mar. 3-Crowds
assemble in the Christian church
at Glendora, this county,
nightly to listen to the doctrine
taught by Powell young
man without education, who
claims that the voice of the Lord
commanded him to proceed to
Glendora and drive out devils.
Powell declares that he has al
ways been a great sinner and
that he knew nothing of the BIZ
BILE until he received divine in
spiration. He now expounds the
scriptures with ease and has
great fuency of speech.
He says that he has located
hell, which is situated at a depth
of five miles in the bowels of the
earth. When the Lord called
upon him, he saws, he fell upon
his knees and adored the Lord,
whereupon the 0devil appeared
before him and rolled away a
barrel of sin. He says he has
been commanded by the Lord to
remain at Glendora. until God
calls him elsewhere. Powell's
home is in ST. Joseph.

last night took him TO the resort,
where he soon was robbed. Hutchin-

Queer Trick of Despicable liar,

Mrs. c. G. Miller, of 127 North La
fayette street, and Mrs. John Farmer,
of Dubail avenue, received what turns
out to have been fake dispatch We'd
nesday evening stating that thei
mother, Mrs. Noah Leer, residing
about five miles west Of Plymouth,
was lying at the point of death. Both
daughters took the early morning
train for the bedside of their sick
mother.
Since the above has been placed in
type, The Times is informed that
Mrs. Miller returned home on the
noon train, her sister remaining at
Plymouth for few days visit, they
having discovered that Mrs. Leer was
not i'll.
A coat of tar and feathers and a
ride through the principal streets
would be too good treatment for the
perpetrator of this so-called joke.
Mrs. Miller is poor, frail little lady
at the best, and for the past three or
four weeks has hardly been able to be
up and about, let alone to be the re-
cipient of the above. She became SO
excited and nervous that her husband
was compelled to GO to the doctor and
get her some quieting powders
