Two Standards.

One of the strangest illustrations OF
the ups and downs of fortune comes
from Paris.
A rich Partisan banker became re,
duced through unlucky investments to
the sum of 10000 francs. That amount
was poverty to him, and, overwhelmed
by his loss and the hopelessness Of the
situation. he committed suicide.
The 10000 francs then fell to his
brother, who had been for years e pau
per, estranged from his family. But
to him such sum represented incred-
ible riches, and his reason was over
thrown. In a moment of delirium he
jumped into the Seine and was drown

DISCRIMINATING LADIES.
Enjoy Using Herpicide on Account Of
Its Distinctiveness.

The ladies who have used Newbro's
Herpicide speak Of 1t in the highest
terms, for its quick effect In cleansing
the scalp Of dandruff and also for its ex-
eellence as a general hair-dressing. 1t
makes the scalp feel fresh and 1t allays
that itching which dandruff will cause.
Newbro's Herpicide effectively cures
dandruff. as 1t destroys the germ that
causes 1t. The same germ causes hair to
fall out, and later badness; in killing It,
Herpicide stops falling hair and prevents
badness. It is also an ideal hair dress
ing, for 1t lends an aristocratic charm to
the hair that is quite distinctive. Sold

Butler to Oppose Conner.

Des Moines. April 16.--J. b. Butler,
of Fort Dodge. Is being discussed as n
probable democratic candidate for con-
gress from the Tenth district, to op-
pose Judge Conner. Mr.. Butler is not
seeking the JOB. He is having troubles
of his own, just now, in connection
with his candidacy for delegate AZ
large, but his friends think he is the
man for the purpose of cutting down
Judge Corners ma ority.
Mr.. Butler showed In the senatorial
campaign last fall that he is vote
getter. He ran for senator in the Webs
Calhoun district and notwith-
standing the overwhelming republican
character of the district came nearly
being elected. He carried Webster
county, rock-ribbed republican coun-
ty. and If he had paid any attention to
Calhoun county he would undoubtedly
have come perilously near to carrying
the district. AS it was he gave the re-
publicans stage fright and fixed him-
self right for political honors on the
democratic ticket in his district wher-
ever he may wish to have them.
