MISSING FOR FOUR WEEKS.
Young Man With Weak Mind Wan
dered From Wichita Home

Wanted-Information of one Charley
Charley Williamson, who wandered from
his home September &c. He is weak
minded, six feet high, has black hair
and eyes, large nose, weighs 175 pounds,
and is .27 years old. Address Minnie
Martindale, $50 North Main street
This paragraph appears in the want
columns of the Eagle this morning. 1t
was inserted last night by James Walker,
a brother to Mrs. Martindale, who is
searching for her nephew.
Mrs. Martindale lives at 1125 East Muir
dock avenue. Four weeks ago her sis
ter, Mrs. Sylvia McKIbben of Guthrie,
o. T., brought her son to Wichita for a
visit. According to the statement of Mr..
Walker, the young man wh.se mind is
deranged. had just been taken out of
an asylum two weeks before. On the af-
ternoon Of the 2lzth Of September between
and 3 O'Clock he wandered up town.
That was the last seen of him Many ef-
forts have been put forth to find him,
but not a trace has been discovered so
far. The city has been secured and his
mother has sent inquiries to every place
where she could think it likely he would
so. The young man is in no way violent,
according to a statement Mr. Walker
made last night to the Eagle.

COURT CLERK TO
MAKE TEST CASE
Poverty AMdavits Are to Mum
erous Lately.
TAX PAYERS FOOT BILL
Geo. A. Clark Would Ask a
Few Questions.

There is likely TO come up case IN
Judge Dale's court in a day or two that
will attract a good deal OF interest. 1t
was reported last night that Clerk OF
the District Court George a. Clark had
determined to make test case by re-
fusing to file damage case wherein the
plaintiff made a poverty. affidavit and
claimed damages to the amount of s1t,oH,
to test the question as 10 whether tne
district court clerk had the power to in
yestigate and pass upon the financial
condition of persons offering to make
this kind of an affidavit in the same
manner as the person who signs bonds are
investigated. Heretofore these affidavlTs
have been accepted without question.
The state of Kansas Has a law on the
statute books which allows any citizen
too poor to prosecute a just claim, to
have standing in court by filing his afTi-
davit that he IS not able TO put up
money for the costs or TO give a bond,
and now it is claimed this law is being
taken advantage of by too many people,
and that nearly third of the cases filed
are poverty cases. There were three
new cases filed in the court yesterday
and three of them were supported by the
poverty affidavit.
A reporter for the Eagle counted sew
enty-one cases filed since the present
clerk came into office and found that
twenty-one of them were supported by
poverty affidavits. This was certainly
very large per cent when it is remem-
bered that the officers of the court, or
rather the clerk, must do this work for
nothing, and that witnesses must attend
st their own expense and without fees.
Some of the attorneys say that most
OF the poverty affidavits are filed in
divorce cases and in damage cases. When
some fellow wants TO claim big DANA ges
for some supposed wrong worked against
him by a corporation or any individual.
it is claimed that some OF the attor-
neys take the claim for per cent and
have the plaintiff file the poverty aft
davit, and then If they fall down, the
county can pay the costs of the court
and the witnesses. and the court CLERK
sheriff and other officials that did the
hard work can whistle for their pay
1t is claimed that the country every
year pays thousands in court costs on
these cases. and many of them have TO
merit, and are settled out of court for
perhaps less than the costs that have
accrued, and of course the plaintiff does

A PESTIFEROUS GERM.
Burrows Up the Scalp Into Dandruff
and Saps the Hairs Vitality.

People who complain of falling hair as
a rule do not know that it is the. result
of dandruff, which is caused by a pestif-
erous parasite burrowing up the scalp as
it digs down to the sheath in which the
hair is fed in the scalp Before long the
hair root is shriveled up and the hair
drops out. If the work of the germ is
not destroyed hair keeps thinning till
badness comes. The only way to cure
dandruff is to kill the germ. and until
now there has been no hair preparation
that would do it; but today dandruff is
easily eradicated by Newbro's Herpicide.
which makes hair glossy and soft as silk.
