 to Them.

Alexander McMnlan. Nj. D., a promi- nent physician of Lansing. Mich. writes: "On three cases I have tested Herpicide for dandruff and the result has been all that could be desired.'
 Herpicide is made upon an entirely new principle that is, that dandruff and fall ing hair are caused from a microbe that infects the hair bulb, and by destroying inc nicrobe ones hair is bound to grow Iuxuriantly. Herpieide Is the only hair remedy that claims to, and really does, destroy the dandrun germ.

Skin Grated From Own BODY.

A wonderful feat Of skin grating
has been reported at Clinton. Three
months ago, while watching a bon
fire, sparks isnited the clothing of
Elsie Campbell, the seven-year-old
daughter of Fl. P. Campbell, who was
severely burned on the back. The
wound did not heal, and few days
ago the child was placed under the eff
fects of an anesthetic and patches of
skin were removed from different parts
of her body and grated into the
wound. No attempt was made to COW
er the entire wound, but small patches
Of skin were grated near each other
in the form of what is known as u.s.
land" grating. After each piece Of
skin had been removed and grated on,
the child was allowed to recover for a
few minutes, as it was feared death
would result il she was kept under
the effect of the drug long at time.
1t took sixty hours to perform the
operation. The wound began to heal
soon after and the child has practical
ly recovered, and is able to be about.

INSTRUCTED Genius.


The papers are making a great hulla-

strange fact that an Illicit still has
been found in one Of the principal
business blocks Of Chicago, which is
not half AS strange as the fact that an
Illicit still was once found in the Mis-
souri, penitentiary. A convict who un-
derstood the simple art of producing
what Dick Swiveller called "the ardent
and 1.-THE rosy" and who possessed an
Unsuitable appetite for the same did
not propose to be deprived Of his tipple
because he resided in prison and wore
striped clothes. So he set him up q
still and proceeded to produce small
quantity of the cup which both cheers
and inebrlates for personal consump-
ton. He used as worm" an old
musket barrel which did service as a
poker For material he saved up
pieces of corn bread from his rations,
of which he made ''mash." How
long he had been conducting his moon

ATTEMPTS TO LYNCH NEGROES.
Council Bluffs Mob Batters Down Jail
n0or

An attempt was made one night last
week at Council Bluffs to lynch George
Williams and Nicely Zimmerman, two
colored men, charged with having COM
mitted an attack upon Mrs. Sanders
and Mrs. Sparks, her mother, week
ago Friday
The men were identified In court by
the women, after which they were held
to the grand jury.
At night mob of 500 persons, men
and boys, gathered about the Jail
where the negroes were confined, and
demanded that they be turned over
by the officers. The demand was re.
fused.
Until midnight the mob increased in
numbers unit, there were at least
1000 men yelling and bnttering the Jail
doors with clubs.
Several times the police charged the
mob, but they were unable to break
1t up.
Just after midnight. armed with a
bar of railroad iron, dozen men COM
menced battering at the jail door. A
few blows shattered it and yell went
up from the crowd.
Congressman Smith, who arrived
just dL unlS Ilme, managed 10 secure
the attention Of George Sanders, hus-
band of one of the women attacked,
and urged him to go home and let the
law take it's course. Sanders listened
| and then started for home.
Congressman Smith mounted the
courthouse steps and urged the men,
bers of the mob to dispense, telling
them that Sanders already had gone.
This had the desired effect and inside
of half an hour the courthouse grounds
| were deserted.
The militia had been called out but
the crowd had dispersed before they
| appeared on the scene.
The next day Sheriff Cousins learned
Of an organized plan to lynch thinner
man and Williams at night and took
the prisoners to the penitentiary at
Fort Madison for safe keeping, as ex-
citement in Council Bluffs was rising
to dangerous pitch and talk of lynch
ing was freely INDUCED in upon the
streets, for the assaults upon Mrs.
Sparks and her daughter were the
fourth Of the kind within-a week.
