Mexican Government Gets Control of Railroads.

Mexico City, Sept. 23.-Bankers have done an exceptionally heavy business in foreign and especially American exchange during the past two days owing to the decline in the rate, and the general be- lief Is that the high price of silver as at present will not be long maintained. Miners and bankers say that were silver to reach 60 cents an ounce, the produc- ftion would be increased to a point where 1t would again fall heavily. This view Is taken by many able men who favor stabilizing the currency.
 Fl Imparcial a semi-oficial newspaper, has an article on the governments action in buying railway shares and forming goyernmentally controlled group of roads. The article points out that the policy Of 4he government in encouraging railway construction enabled national resources to be exploited. and public wealth has r3been made productive. But the time ar rived recently when it was important to %nrevent railroads becoming prejudicial to fhe nation and hampering the evolution of the country's business.
 ; The producers of mineral and agricul- tural wealth feel that there was cause for alarm in the possibility of an advance sn the freight rates or of a marked pre- ference for the transportation of other articles detrimental to local interests. The plan decided on was to control one of the great systems so as 10 regulate directly or indirectly the traffic of the entire country There has been put fin practice a plan which consolidates the iabor of many years of sacrifices and ex- penditures In encouraging railway build ing, The government has succeeded in solving the problem of railway traffic without burdening the ordinary budget and without adding to the debt.

BLACKMAILED BY WOMAN.
Leads: Of Society Got Nebraska
 Mans Money

New York, Sept. 23.-"I send you here with $SOO. This is positively the last money will send you. will not let you blackmail me any longer."
 t! This together with the torn fragments of a check as said to be the text of a letter which has been pieeed together from, bits discovered in. the apartment where John ID. Fitzpatrick wealthy son of the late David, Fitzpatrick of Beatrice. Neb.. was found Monday shot through the heart. The case had begun to look like one of murder. but 1t Is now thought that the first theory. suicide, Is correct and that Fitzpatrick killed himself to es- cape his tormenter.
 J. F. Lambie, step-father of the dead man. declared that sensational develop ments may grow out of the affair. He is quoted as saying:
 We know the woman to whom the let- ter was addressed. She is a young mar ried woman, the mere mention of whose name would cause a sensation In New York City. as she is known as & member of one of the most prominent social sets in the city. We know enough now to convince us that my step-son committed suicide.
 'T have learned since that he wrote ai- other letter and another check and sent them to the woman. I do not know the contents of the other letter.

HE BEAT THE BROKERS.
Condit, Alias Cranston, Is Finally
 Run Down, However.

Boston, Sept. 23.-In the Superior Crimi- nal Court here Judge Sherman has sen fenced Edward A. Cranston. charged with forgery and swindling to not more than fifteen nor less than ten years in a State prison.
 On the stand the prisoner denied that his name was Cranston, and said that 1t was Edward Augustus Condit. Chief Inspector Watts then hunted up the records which tend to show that Condit, if he is the same person, is known all over the country as an expert in beating stock brokers. He is said to have at one time been wealthy. His plan was to open an account with broker who would &C., cept a check on a country bank as mar gin. If his trades showed a quick profit he would close the account and take up the check. letting it go by default, If the speculation showed a loss.
 Cranston began to speculate, the records say, as early as 1872. He was convicted many times in the East and under the name of W. s. Carson was arrested December 2, 1892 fin Wisconsin on a for gerry carge. In 1898 he was arrested in Chicago on a similar charge, but was re- leased and disappeared.

4 WOMAN TO BE PRETTY
Must Have Luxuriant and Glossy
 Ha1r, No Matter What Color.

. The finest contour of a female face. the sweetest smile of female mouth. loses something if the head is crowned with scant hair. Scant and falling hair, it Is now known, is caused by a parasite that burrows into the scalp to the root 0f the hair. where 1t saps the vatiiity. The ht- tie white scales the germ throws up tn burrowing are called dandrun. To cure tiandruff permanently, then. and to stop failing 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 prevents baldness. Sold by leading druggists.
