SCIENCE PREVENTS Badness.
The Fatal Germ and It's Remedy Now
Facts of Science.

1t is the rarest thing in the world for
man to be necessarily bald. No man
whose hair is not dead at the roots, need
be bald if he will use Newbro's Herpi-
eide, the new scalp antiseptic. Herpi-
eide destroys the germ that cuts the hair
off at the root; and cleans the scalp of
dandruff and leaves it in perfectly
healthy condition. Mr.. Mannett, in the
Maryland Block. Butte. Mont, was en-
tirely bald. In less than a month Herpi-
eide had removed the enemies of hair
growth, and nature did it's work by COW
ering his head with thick hair an inch
long, and in six weeks he had normal
suit of hair. Sold by leading druggists.

MURDERED BABY BROTHER.
Unnatural Crime of Two Indian Child
rem of Eagle Valley.

Modena, Utah, June 23.-Two In
dian children of Eagle Valley, New,
have murdered their three-year-old
brother. The oldest of the fratricides
is seven years a girl, and the other
is but four, q boy.
Indian Jack, the father of the three
children, and his wife, left their tepee
to haul wood and on returning to their
tent found their youngest child with
it's ribs caved in and it's back bone al
most severed from its natural fasten-
ingS.
Owing to the fact that the two older
children had shown a strange aversion
to the dead child they were at once
accused of the crime. They however,
maintain the reicence characteristic
of the Indian and have refused over
to answer questions.
The father of the boy, who is an
educated red man. is almost heart
broken over the affair.

New York, June 23.-Much of the

but expressed a willingness to under
go an examination by the coroner He
was ordered back to the hospital,
however, and his examination post
poned until next week.
The hull of the wrecked Slocum

water was pumped out of the hold. y
search was made for bodies but none
was recovered. At the next full tide
the hulk will be taken further in

wreckage has not yet been made and
it is possible that tomorrow bodies
will be found in the ENHANCEMENT OF
timbers and machinery. Supervising
Inspector Rode. of the United States
Steamboat Inspection, picked up a
number Of life preSerVers on the main
leck of the Slocum and tagged them
ton These preserVers were badly
torn and more than half filled with
powdered cork.
Twenty-four additional bodies were
recovered today, bringing the total
number of known dead up to 9O7. One
hundred policemen who have been
making a canvass of all districts
where persons were reported missing
completed their work tonight. In
spector Schmittberger, who was in
charge Of the canvass, estimated tho

about one thousand. He said that
the police in many instances found at
their homes persons who have been
officially missing since the day the
steamer was burned. In one case o
man, his wife, and two children,
whose names had appeared in all the
published lists, of missing, were found
at their home. They had not been

has received a dispatch from NJ.
Deprez, the French minister at Port
Au Prince, Hayti, saying that while
he and the German minister were
driving past the palace yesterday they
were attacked and stoned by soldiers
forming the palace guard. M Deprez
was struck on the leg by a stone and
was slightly injured. The ministers
wives, who We're in another carriage
following, also were pelted. The wife
of the French minister is an American.
AS Foreign Minister Delcasse' has only
just received the dispatch he has not
yet determined what steps shall be
taken, but the officials consider it GER
tain that France will make an ener-
getic demand for redress. One
French WarShip is near the scene and
another is at the French naval head
quarters in the West Indies. 1t is ex-
pected that Germany will make a
similar demand for redress.
Hatred of Foreigners.
Port Au Prince, Hayti, June %
The attack on the French Minister
here. M. DepreZ, who was struck by
stone thrown by one Of the guard on
duty at the palace, was the outcome
of the feeling among the population
and the government against foreign
ers, the natives desiring to hold them
responsible for the wretched financial
situation of Haiti, the proceedings
against the French and German Off
Gals of the National bank charged
with participation in the issue of
100000 fraudulent securities early in
1903 have not been ended. Some of
the officials are still in prison and
others have sought safety in flight.
Persons prominently connected with
the national bank have been protest
ing against the long detention in
prison of the officials who are under
charges.
The statement that France will de-
mand redress for the attack on her
minister is confirmed here.
The Report Confirmed.
Washington, June 23.-Confirmation
of the reported attack on the French
and German ministers in Hayti came
to the State Department today in the
shape of the following cablegram
from Minister Powell at Port Au
Prince, dated June %:
French and German ministers with
their ladies while passing the palace
in their carriages yesterday were
stoned by the palace guard. French
minister slightly injured Apology de-
manded, bue none given. Both have
cabled their governments.
The most serious feature of the af-
fair is that the attack was made not
by an irresponsible mob, but by the
palace guard which directly connects
the Haytien government with the oc-
currence. More than month ago
the State Department was forewarned
of this approaching trouble by its
agents in Haiti, and have been watch
ing the little republic closely, keeping
a naval force near at hand. The De-
troit, which went from Dominican
waters to participate in the Novascotia
celebration will return to San Do
mingo, as it is reported by the Navy
Department to keep three vessels IN
close proximity to Haiti and Sando-
mingo.
