Thomas Blower Experiences
Thrilling Encounter

Albany, Or, April 6.-Thomas Blow.
er farmer at Norton, on the G. &
e. railroad had a thrilling experience
last week. Mr. Blower recently
bought a valuable COW, and few days
after she was taken to her new home
she failed to return to the house after
being turned into the woods Mr.
Blower, armed with an ak, started in
search of his COW, and in the noun
tains near his cabin found her carcass
with a black bear cody eating her
breakfast. With his AK the enraged
farmer attacked the bear. infiicting a
deep wound in the animals shoulder,
when his dog also attacked the bear,
and while the two animals were fight
ing Mr.. Blower was enabled to get in
another blow and dispatched the
slayer of his COW, splitting her head
open. A search revealed the bears
cave, where two half-grown cubs were
found awaiting the return of the
mother. The little fellows were taken
in charge by Mr.. Blower, and Mr.
Dawson is now negotiating for the
cubs and hopes to secure them and
bring them to Albany.

ANOTHER WONDER OF SCIENCE
Biology has Proved that DandruR is
Caused by a Germ.

Science is donig wonders these days in
medicine as we'll as in mechanics. Since
Adam lived, the human race has been
troubled with dandruff, for which no hair
preparation has heretofore proved a sue
cessful cure until Newbro's Herpicide was
put on the market. 1t is a scientific prep
aratIon that kills the germ that makes
dandruff or scurf by digging into the
scalp to get at the root of the hair, where
1t saps the vitality; causing itching scalp,
railing hair and finally badness. With
out dandruff hair must grow fuxliriantly.
It is the only destroyer OF dandrufr.

Clarence M. Daily, a former as.
sistant of Thos. A. Edison, died a
martyr to science. For seven
years he suffered from the effects
Of his experiments with X-rays.
His hair and mustache dried up
and fell out, his arm had to be
amputated and his face wrinkled
and infamed. The science he had
studied and loved. so ardently, had
gone beyond the science of medi.

Too Busy to Be Kind.

Il sometimes think we women
nowadays are in danger of being
too busy to be really useful, said
an old lady thoughtfully, We
hear SO much about making every
minute count, and always having
some work or course of study for
spare hours, and having our actiy-
ities all systemized, that there is
no place left for small wayside
kindnesses. We go to see the sick
neighbor and relieve the POOR
neighbor, but for the common
everyday neighbor, who has not
fallen BY the way, so far as we can
see. we haven't minute to spare.
But everybody who needs cup
Of cold water isn't calling the fact
out to the world; and there are q
great many little pauses By the
way which are no waste Of time.
The old fashioned exchange of
garden flowers over the back fence
and friendly chats about domestic
matters helped to brighten weary
days, and brought more cheer
than many a sermon. We ought

Expensive L.ynchlne.

4 Huntsville, Ala, Oct. 3. The
term of Circuit Court just ended
was the most historic and at The
same time the longest ever held in
Madison county. The court had
three grand juries. the one that
sat for three weeks at the begin.
ming of the term, the one that sat
for two days and indicted Horace
Naples and Dennis Smith for
murder, and the famous grand ju-
ry that returned twenty six In
dictments against alleged lynch
ers. Three regular murder cases
were tried and one murderer, a
negro, was sentenced to- hang on
Oct. 81. This was the first SEN
tence of death passed in Madison
county in nineteen years. Three
alleged lynchers were tried on the
charge of murder and three on
charges of arson in the first de-
gree.
The court has been expensive.
Special venires of fifty men each
were drawn for each capital case.
Court officials estimate that the
trial of each alleged lyncher cost
the county from three to four
hundred dollars and the last case,
that of Armstrong, although cen
tlnued, cost about $400.
In this connection it is figured
that the lynching of Horace Ma
pies, or the murder which caused
this negro to be lynched, has cost
Alabama and Madison county a
small fortune. The first special
grand jury cost $685.. the second
grand jury, to investigate the
lynching, cost $288, the trials of
alleged lynchers cost $4,000, the
Jail was damaged to tie extent of
$500 by the riot, so that the coun-
ty is out $3056. The State spent
$4,000 in round figures in rushing
company of militia here in the
hope of preventing the lynching,
and later in maintaining a militia
ry guard around the jail for ten
days. This does not include the
cost of the military court of in
quiry, SO itTmay be safely estimat-
ed that the State and county will
have to spend at least 5000 be-
fore all expenses have been paid.

A Death and ReminisCence.

The death Of Mrs. Walker
Brooke, venerable lady residing
in Vicksburg, which occurred a
few days since, recalls the history
of her husband, who was quite
prominent in the political arena
of Mississippi during the ante
bellum days.
The deceased lady was a Vir-
ginian BY birth, and had reached
the ripe old age Of four score
years. When a mere child her
parents moved to Walden, this
State, and at the age of sixteen
she was married to Mr.. Walter
Brooke, a prominent young law
yer of Richmond, Va. The cou-
pie located at Lexington, this
State, where Mr.. Brooke rapidly
came into prominence as an attor-
ney and political orator. In 1916
he was elected to the United
States Senate.
Senator Brooke met his death
in a very unusual manner. About
four years after the war he was in
a restaurant in Vicksburg one
night and ordered a plate of oys-
tiers. When the bivasves we're
placed before him he at. empted to
swallow whole a very large oys-
ter, which caused him to choke to
death. Clarion-Ledger.
