ANOTHER WONDER OF SCIENCE.
Biology Has Proved that Dandrufc is
Caused by a Germ.

Science is doing wonders these days
in medicine as well az in mechanics.
Since Adam delved, the human race
has been troubled with dandruff, for
which no hair preparation has hereto
fore proved successful cure until
Newbro's Herpicide was put on the
market. 1t is scientific preparation
that Kills the germ that makes dand-
ruff or scurf by digging into the scalp
to get at the root OF the hair, where
it saps the vitality; causing itching
scalp, falling hair and finally badness.
Without dandruff hair must grow lux
uriantly. Herpicide at all druggists.
1T IS the only destroyer of dandruff

1t pains us more than we can tell
this morning, to be compelled tc
chronicle the fact that Geo. Scobey.
of Fayette, has gone hopelessly insane.
Some weeks ago he went with his wife
to Lincoln, Neb. in hopes that com.
plete rest would restore him to health
and ward off the threatened attack OF
nervous prostration. For time he
seemed to get better and hopes were
entertained that his complete recovery
would eventually take place, but
lately he grew worse and his removal

comes as the result of physical in

since, and from clot of blood on the
brain. 1t is sad ending to an active.

years of age.-West Union Argo.

Rufianism in Columbia.

One of the attorneys in the Tillman
venue case referred to the cosmopolitan
character of the population OF
Columbia, the natives constitut-
ing comparatively small part
of the population. This condition
has its evils as well as ad-
vantages, and as to the former it has
created an idle and vicious class of
young white men who are rapidly de-
veloping into full-hedged desperadoes.
There are only three or four of them
who have gained any considerable no.
toriety, but they give constant trou-
BILE. One of them named Holland, a
son of respectable parents was some
time since ordered to leave Columbia:
He returned about week ago and the
police have been looking for him ever
since. One found him last night and
by pulling his pistol quickly prevent
ed Holland from doing the same
thing. A great deal Of leniency has
been shown these young desperadoes
on account of their parents, but
there is growing demand that effec-
tive measure be taken to rid the city
permanently of these dangerous char
acters. correspondence
