A WONDERFUL INVENTION

popular conditions, and one OF the most
interesting OF these that has ever been
invented is the DR.. White Electric Comb
patented Jan. l, 90. These wonderful
Combs positively cure dandrniT, hair

passed it's thirty ninth mile stone. Dur
ing its long and prosperous existence
the paper has had only one manager and
that is the present one-Mr. Geo. West.
We hope that before thirty nine more
years roll around Mr.. West will have
made enough money out of his splendid

the journalistic field and live in luxury
the rest of his days.

candidates of this county more than for
the Republicans to have few more
speakers come up from Denver and en-
deavor to interest the people in state is

a frost in every sense of the word. The

Honest old John McShane is making
a phenomenal run for the senatorship,
to represent tn 26th district. He is one
of the Oldest among the old pioneers of
the state, and is probably personally
known to more people of the district
than any other man in it. His home
and business are at Central City, but he
owns and cultivates large farm near
Arvada, in this county. He will poll the
full strength of his party in the district
and make big hole in that of his op-
ponent.-Golden Transcript.

James ". Thompson of Black Hawk,
candidate for assessor on the Demo-

will make splendid run and will defeat
his opponent by majority that will
cause the eyelids Of the Republican bos-

son is making clean, open and gentle
manly campaign. He is not making the
race on sympathy lines, telling the vot.
ers "it's over the hills to the poor house
with him in case he is defeated" but be
is seeking votes in a business-like man
ner by convincing the people that he
possesses qualifications for filling the

his adversary. Neither does he ap.

country to support him. He argues ef-
fectively that he has held position OF
honor and trust as mayor of his town
for the past eight years; has not only
advanced the interests of Black Hawk
during his incumbency, but the inter
ests Of Gilpin county as well. Mr.
Thompson's vocation is the most labor
ious of any man could select. that OF
blacksmithing, which shows unmistak
ably that the gentleman is industrious

From the Stevens Home

HOBOKEN, n. j., Nov. 16-AIl Of
the old family jewels CT the famous
Stevens family of Castle Point. Hobo
ken, have been stolen from Mrs. Caro-
line d. Alexander. sister of Colonel Ed
win A. Stevens, the present head of the
family, who was the possessor of them
through the old family custom of pass
ing them down in direct line to the
brides of the house. Although SO years
old, Mrs. Alexander was the last bride
in the family, and was custodian Of
the Jewels, which were once worn by
Martha Washington.
The discovery of the loss was made
last night when Mrs. Alexander went
to get the jewels, in order to have
them ready for the marriage Of her son,
Archibald S. Alexander, whose engage
ment to Miss Helen Barney was re-
Gently announced. They were not TO be
found and Chief of Police Hayes was
summoned and told point blank that
the jewels had been stolen and that
they must be found. Hayes was in
structed to spare no expense in tracing
the missing gems and within an hour
he had sent descriptions Of them all
over the country.
The value Of the jewels is not given.
Their principal value lies in the fact
that they are heirlooms. 1t is said that
their intrinsic value is about $4,000.
