FREMONT. Neb.. May 1~6.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-At s o'clock this evening the dead
body of Henry McMArtin, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Rolfus McMartin, was found in the
ditch beside the Union Pacific railroad
track half a mile east OF the depot. Death
was evidently caused by a fall from a
westbound passenger train, but there lie no
evidence of a positive nature at hand, as
no one can be found who saw the accident.
The young man has been in a hospital at
Kansas City receiving treatment He was
expected home yesterday. 1t is believed
that he jumped from the train to go to his
home, which is not far from the point
where the body was found. No bones were
broken and death probably resulted from
the shock to his system.

Failing hair is caused by dandruff, which
is a germ disease. The germ In burrowing

stroys the vitality of the hair, causing the
hair to fall out, digs up the cuticle in little
scales, called dandruff or scurf. You can't
stop the falling hair without curing the

without killing the dandruff germ. De
stroy the cause, you remove the effect

UNAUTHORIZED PROGRAM THROWN OVER

Welt Refuses 60 Follow, Pre-

YOSEMITE, Cal, May 1s.-President
Roosevelt has not been heard from today.
He is supposed to nave been near Glacier
Point this morning, but there was no
word from him to Secretary Loeb when his
party reached the Sentinel hotel this after
noon. Snow fell today in the mountains
around the district where the president Is
supposed to be and the weather became
quite cold. Should the weather become too
cold tonight for outdoor camping there
are a number OF shanties located In differ
ent parts OF the mountains in which the
president could spend the night comforta-
bly,.
Notwithstanding the fact that the presi-
dent, before leaving Washington, out
lined the program he was to follow during
his stay in the Yosemite, the Yosite com
mission adopted another program with
out consulting him. This latter program
provided for fireworks, the firing of dyna-
mite to produce loud echoes and the par
ticipation by the president in some sort
of a public without the presi-
dents knowledge this program was cir
culated broadcast and people came into
Yosemite hundreds of miles away to see
him. When they found that he was not
to be there their disappointment was great.
The president was not told of this pro-
posed change until yesterday, and even
then he was not told that people were
| coming from such long distances to see
him. As he was tired out. as the result
of the hospitality of San Francisco, he de-
clded thai he would adhere to his original
plan and spend the next few days in Sc
clusion.

occupying four stages, entered the Yosemite
valley. The president himself did not accom-
pany the party. He eluded the large crowd
awaiting him in the valley by taking the
trail with a few members of his party from
Chinaqua, thirteen miles from here. The

the trail through the snow, which was quite
deep in places. The remainder OF the party,
numbering twenty-four, took horses and
