COLD KILLS THE GERM.
Lieut.. Peary Says There Are no Bald Heads
In the Artlc Region.

The people who come back from
Klondike testify to the fact that no
native bald heads are there. The evil
dcnce is that the cold climate kills
the germs that eat the hair off at the
root. Lieut.. Peary, who went to the
Arctic regions, gives the save evi-
dcnce. Newbro's Hcrpicide has the
same effect as the cold climate. 1t
kills the germ that eats the hair Off
at the roots, and the lair grows
again. Hcrpicide is the first hair
remedy built upon the principle of
destroying the germ that eats the
hair off. Its phenomenal sale demon

ARGUMENTS ENDED
Suit Concerning Illinois & Mich

Tomorrow.
HINGES ON STATE CONSTITUTION

ance.

Springfield, Aug. 5.-The hearing in
the Illinois and Michigan canal case
was concluded in the Sangamon cir
cult court yesterday and Judge
Creighton announced that he would
give his decision in the matter tomor-
row morning. The attorneys for Rep
resentative Burke are confident that
they will win the suit.
Before the adjournment of court
Judge Creighton practically decided
two Of the points raised and the de
ision to be handed down will hinge
IN one proposition Of law only. The
Judge again said he did not think
there was any force To the contention
hat the court did not have iurisdic-
ion and he also expressed himself as
ioubting the soun.iness of the argu-
ment concerning the alleged contract
between the state and the United
states government. His statement
eft the impression that the decision
would rest entirely upon the Construc-
ion to be given the state constitu-
ion.
EN-Justice Carter, of the Illinois
;upreme court, closed the argument
or the defense. His argument WAS
devoted almost exclusively to the CON
,truction to be given the language of
he constitution and he insisted that
he inhibition against apprcpriating
money lin aid Of canals and railroads

id to new projects of this sort. 1t

OPENS AT CHICAGO
Initial Performance of Pains
Ancient Rome" Given
Last Evening.
A LARGE AUDIENCE PLEASED
Exceedingly Realistic Effect In
Destruction OF Rome
BY Fire.

The initial production of Pains
great spectacle, The Burning of Ans
cient Rome" was witnessed last night
at Fortieth avenue and Monroe street
by large and enthusiastic crowd
says today's Chicago Chronicle. The
entertainment is gorgeous through
out and contains many startling and
unique features. The vast number of
actors in the huge pantomime, to-
gether with the gorgeous costumes
and the beautiful scenery, contribute
to moving pictures of life and color
that dazzle and bewilder.
After the long procession of Rom
ans, consisting of the nobility. sol
dfcry, peasants, slaves and the like.
an excellent program of games was
presented. These consisted of chariot
races, acrobatic performances. tight
rope and trapcZe performances, some
clever bar exhibitions, tight-rope
walking and ballet dancing. This
part of the show was enlivened by the
antics of several trained clowns, who
not only made much fun, hut also
displayed skill and activity at tumb-
ling.
The burning of Rome was a mag
nificent sight and with the deafening
defamation of dynamite bombs. the
flames, the smoke and falling walls. a
high degree of realism was reached.
When the lights were all out and
nothing was left but the smoking
ruins, the scene was extremely reals

The display of fireworks after the
destruction Of the city was costly and

rockets and bombs had been shot off
and several balloons had been sent
up. fine portrait of Mayor Harrison

The Imperial Military band, Mrs.
Mollie Ingersoll, manager, returned
last night from Cheyenne, where it had
been to attend the reception by the
state officers and the inaugural ball in
the two halls of the capitol building.
From the time the band left the city un-
til its return it was the recipient Of
continued congratulations and the
plaudits Of the multitude. When the
train left here Monday afternoon there
was a large crowd on the depot plat
form, the boys acknowledging the
honor of their presence by playing a
number of pieces. On the way down
and after it's arrival at Cheyenne 1t con
tinued to furnish first-class music. At
the ball and reception the Imperial
Military band was the center Of an ad-
miring group of friends and when it
stationed itself in the hall Of the house
of representatives to furnish music for
dancers, it was noted that the largest
crowds were there and the liveliest
dancing. Nagel's orchestra of six
pieces furnished music in the senate
chamber, and there are few better Or
chestras in the west, but the larger
number iocked to the other hall,
where the visiting musicians held the
center of the stage. The band played
on the streets during the early
ing. was present in the halls of the
capitol building during the reception
by the different state officers in their
Offices, and until 2 o'clock in the morn
ing furnished music for the dancers in
the hall of the house, that being the
place where the most visitors had O n
gregated.
The presence of the band at the in
augural ceremonies and reception
brought to the surface the desire for a
state band, and while Governor Rich
ards would not commit himself to the
proposition, he said the band was a
splendid musical organization and de-
served every word of praise he had
heard during its visit to the capital.
The appointment of a state band car
ries only the honor of the position, and
the Imperial Military band of Laramie
is willing to meet any proposition to
become the recipient of the honor.
The members of the band are pro-
fuse in their words Of praise Of their
treatment by the ~Cheyennese, and hope
to have the pleasure of again meeting
them. The boys say they had the best
of everything, and If anything seemed
not quite good enough, then the best
was forthcoming at once. They had a
good time and are happy.

The question of redlstricting the
judicial circuits of the state is still
receiving attention from the press.
The Newton Times speaking of it,
says: "The question of the forma-
tion of new circuit court district is
coming in tor considerable comment
from the state press, some of which is
favorable to the change and some of
which are not. 1t is fact that the
formation of new circuit court dis
trict is needed, but it is our opinion
that the chancellor's district needs
cutting down first. The territory OF
this chancery district is entirely t33
extensive. Changes in both the cir
cult and chancery districts are needed,
but if we can't get both now, let's
have the chancery district first.

wolves have been playing havoc

northwest of Forest, for several
months and the citizens of that local
ity had been unable to effect capture
of any of the vicious varmints until
last Saturday, when James Mcdonald
and Mote Askin were out hunting
they heard scratching in large hol-
low log, Upon examination they
saw pair of large green eyes, which
made Jim's and Notes hair stand on

his gun and blazed aw ay at the ami
mails head, filing it with buckshot
Upon cutting open the log, to their
surprise, 1t proved to be large, dark
brindled wolf. which measured six
feet long, six inches between the eyes
and weighed about 200 pounds.

The following confirmation OF the
report that wolves still exist in Scott
county, is from the Carthaginian, OF
Carthage. Leake county: :" A wolf
six feet long, about four feet high
and weighing something like 200
pounds, was killed in Scott county
last week. The animal had been
making rapid raids upon the farmers,
cattle. 1t was freed in hollow log,
and it's green eyes glared defiantly as
its low growl sounded a warning to
the hunters when they approached the
VOLTS place of refuge. 4 load of shot
in the head soon put an end to the
threatening growls."
