COUNTY DADS
CANVASS
OOTES.

Thursday the Board of County
Commissioners canvassed the
election returns. There Is no
change in the situation as pub
liShed last week, with the eX-
ception that Ed Brown will
have majority of two votes
for Short Term Commissioner
over Charley Allen.
For this office there will likely
be a contest before the courts.
1t is not claimed that there were
any irregularities i'll the conduct
of the election at the various
county precincts, but Mr.. Allen
will lay claim to the office on
statutory law, which says that
no precinct shall be established
where there are not ten qualified
electors residing at the time of
the issuing by the County Clerk
of the notices of election. Should
this point obtain Alpine and
Cottonwood precincts will be
thrown out, there being far from
that number at both places at
the time the notice was issued.
On the othe hand, Mr.. Browns
attorney claims that it is
against the law to deprive the
Alpine and Cottonwood electors
of their franchise
At any rate the matter prom
ises to be a lively affair and will
be hotly contested.

Early IDEAS About Hair.

All the ancient philosophers held Gu
rious ideas respecting the growth, func-
tions, structure, ETC., Of the hair and
had many superst1tions founded on
these old opinions. The early writers
on the makeup of the human body al
most invariably refer to the hair as be-
Ing an excrement fed on substances
similar to itself They supposed that
1t generated In the fuliginous parts Of
the blood, was exhaled by the heat of
the body, becoming firm and lbrous
upon being exposed to the air. just as
the fluid of the spider web does. In
these days every idea respecting the
growth and character of hair ia
changed. 1t is now agreed that every
hair properly and truly lives and re-
ceives its nutriment from the body
True, they take upon themselves the
nature of parasitic plants. They grow
as vegetation does, yet each has, as II
were, distinct life and economy. That
they derive their existence from the
juices of the body there Is no doubt
but that food is not taken from the
nutritious juices. for we know that hall
will thrive even though the body starve
or be wasted by disease, or even aftel

AvowedIy women are both directly

theatrical manager. Ii he can please

he is tolerably sure Of success. for
when woman likes a play she induces
her men folk to go to it. This being
SO, ought not. women to be specially
considered in all places Of entertain
ment? But it Is precisely on the oppo-
site lines that the manager commonly
proceeds. Men are encouraged to push
and squeeze past and disturb and in.

the other hand, are expostulated with

Newton's law Of gravitation. which

them, was made the subject of an ex-
