The ELITE SHOP

We have the best Hair Tonic in the
world. Stops hair from falling, and pos,
itively is a sure cure for dandruff and all
diseases of the scalp. Was found in a
Paris medical college, French prepara-
ton. discovered by one OF the ablest
chemists in the world. Dermatologists
tell us that 9s per cent. of the diseases
of the scalp, causing falling of the hair,
are caused by microbe, as well as by
neglecting to keep the hair cleansed OF
dandruff. The antiseptic action OF TINS
preparation kills the microbe as well as
removes all dandruff. The constant use
of it for short period will, by acting al
rectlv on the hair bulbs, furnish nourlsh-
ment, vitality and powers to the impoy-
erished roots and hair shafts, resulting ID
complete restoration. and clean, healthy
growth of hair. 1t has never failed.
We have leased the Vendome barber
shop, and have many tonics, but THIS Is
the best in the world, We solicit your
trade-no better work can be got IN tne

Want to Raise the WIRES.

Armstrong & Latta of New York city
have written to w. J. Douglass District
engineer of bridges, requesting that the
wires across the draw In the Anacostia
bridge be raised fifteen feet higher. Mr..
Douglass has recommended to the Com
missioners. that Rear Admiral Higginson
OF the navy yard and the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company be requested
either to remove the wires on the Anacos-
TIA bridge or place them in the bed of the
river at the draw, SO as not to interfere
with the passage along the river of vessels
with tall masts Mr.. Douglass is of the
opinion that the building of a wharf above
the pennsylvania Avenue bridge In the
Eastern branch will cause increased traffic
OF tall-masted vessels up the Eastern
branch.

". G. CONRAD
In Compliment Of a Member Of
Great Falls Aerie, No. IA, Fra
ternaI Order Of Eagles.

The following article is taken from
the Montana Eagle, published at
Helena, Mont
Among prominent men Of the state
who are affiliated with the Fraternal
Order Of Eagles, none have done more
in building up the diversified interests
of Montana, than w. G. Conrad. If
painted in word pictures. not book,
but volumes could be filled with
interesting, unique and historical
facts identifying he Conrad brothers
that have created the great state Of
Montana. \ brief synopsis dating
from 1868 would show a youth, Is
years old, leaving the old Dominion
state, a trip by rail and stage to Gin
cinnati; down tile Ohio to Cairo; up
the Mississippi to st. Louis: then 1000
miles OH the old Missouri to Fort
Benton. 4 clerk; a partner: then
proprietor in an enterprise that is
now extinct, a general barter and
trading store, employing hundreds of
men freighting supplies for civilians,
the military and Indians, in the
United States and Gambia. AS the
years passed by, one industry required
that it be connected with others, this
developed the Conrad Cattle company,
the banking business insFort Benton
which was later moved to Great Falls.
The Conrad entire interests in this
bank were disposed of by them in 1894
and the year following the doors of
the bank We're closed. When the
news reached MI. Conrad, then visit
ing in Virginia, he Immediately wired
the following: Il want every deposi-
tor paid in FULL His reason given
later proves the Unborn greatness of
the man; ''these people deposited
their money on account of my con-
nection with the bank, and although
advised by the lawyers Of the state
that | am not legally liable, | would
rather not have a dollar of my own
than to see these people lose their
money" In public life Mr. Conrad
has served the people of Mont ana in
different ways and always to their i,
best interests. The first mayor Of |
Fort Benton; one of the board of
