THE SUPERVISORS.


Say, dad, who are all these men,
Who visit in our town?
And put up at the Illinois,
And Hills, and all around?
They cling together like they fear
That one may get away,
Or that some bold kidnaper might
Lead one of them astray.
Be these horde of hermits
Who wish our ways to learn?
Or are they rich and wealthy
And bring Hs cash to burn?
Mayhap they fee from Justice
I've heard men often do.
Why do they stick so close together?
Tell me, father, too.
They do not grasp the chances,
The highball to pursue.
They do not handle hardware,
For poker they eschew.
Our ladies' grace and beauty
They pass without smile.
What occupies their time SO much?
What does their time beguile?
They're county clerks, my son, and
Supervisors by the score.
They're meeting in convention and
Come from the whole state DER.
They run affairs in counties 'o
And in townships also when
They do not run for office
And seek votes of other men.
They can tell you to dollar
How much the court house cost,
and when the price of coal was raised,
How much the county lost.
They're swapping information
And they tell each other how
To save a lot of money
When they all get home, L VOW.
The reason why they snub our girls
With which the streets are rife
Is not because they notice not,
But each one fears his wife.
Because you see no highball,
May strike you rather queer,
But many of the delegates
Are right at home with beer.
They balk at poker on the green
And pass up craps and wheel,
But penny ante catches some,
And others old sledge schpiel.
They're up to snuff, and that's no bluff,
They're here to get the best;
They're on the square, they're men for
fair.
They're welcome, that's no jest.

SCHOOLS OBSERVE
Washington and Lincoln Exer-

Buildings Today.
PUPILS ADDRESSED BY CITIZENS
Birthday OF Father of His Country to
Be Recognized Next
Monday.

The schools of the city this after
noon united in the patriotic observ-
ance of the birthdays of Lincoln and
Washington. In each of the gram
mar schools short programs by the
pupils were carried out and speakers
selected by the local &. \. II. and the
Sons of Veterans delivered addresses.
For several days the grammar
school pupils have been engaged in
work tending to familiarize them
with the lives of the two eN-presi-
dents. The classes i'm reading have
been given patriotic selections to con
and the history classes have turned
their attention to the epochs in
which these two great men lived.
This work has been carried on to
some extent down to the very young
est of the pupils. Therefore all were
in position to understand the sig
nificance of today's exercises.
The part of the program presented
by the pupils themselves at the gram
mar schools took place just before
the afternoon recess in the various
rooms. 1t consisted of songs and rec
itations. Then at 3 O'Clock, or imIne-
diately after recess, the pupils were
assembled in the corridors for the
general exercises. These opened with
a patriotic song and then came the
address by the assigned speaker. An
other song and the pupils were dis
missed for the day.
The program was slightly varied at
the kemble school. where the size of
the corridor would not admit of the

That once beautiful complexion, now
so sallow: that once round, rosy face,
now SO pinched and haggard; those
deep circles under those once beauti-
ful eyes; those wrinkles and crows
feet, that mar that once smooth and
creamy skin? Don't you know what
has caused all these conditions? 1t is

NIP IT IN THE BUD.
First Appearance of Dandruff a FOrerunner
of Future Badness.

of Future Badness.
That such is the case has been con-
clusively proved by scientific research.
Prof. Unna. the noted European skin
specialist, declares that dandruff is
the burrowed-up cuticle of the scalp,
caused by parasites destroying the
vitality in the hair bulb. The hair
becomes lifeless and in time falls out.
This can be prevented.
Newbro's Herpicide kills this dan
druff germ and restores the hair to
its natural softness and abundancy.

of people-all satisfied that it is the
most wonderful hair preparation on

To secure a terminal footing in ST.
Louis, the Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific railroad has expended approx
imately $1O,000,o0O, and its terminals
are not complete This sum does not
include the cost of special yards, de
pots, etc, which are yet to be built.
The correlative result of the Rock
Islands entrance, as affecting the
general extension of terminals, is
shown by the increase of the Termi-
nal Railroad associations capital
stock from $12.O00.000 to S5O.000,000.
OF the $3S.0O0,000 appropriated for
improvements, the greater portion
will be expended this year, and the
entire fund probably will be exhaust
ed in 1904. At union station alone
$7,000.O00 is being applied to increas-
ed facilities, while the acquisition of
yards and rights of way for-belt lines
are causing an enormous outlay.

to fully $4,o00,O00.
