sbipnine Atchison Coal.

Atchison, Dec. 1o-A car load of slack
was loaded at the coal shaft and ship
ped last night to Nortonville. This was
the first car of Atchison coal to be
shipped out of town. The lump is taken
faster than it can be produced at home,
but there is a surplus of slack, owing
to the fact that all the coal now being
produced is taken out as the entries are
extended. In tearing rock out of the
entries dynamite is used. The first
three days of this week sixty tons of
coal were sold in Atchison daily. The
average is forty to fifty tons a day.

HAPPY RESULTS OBTAINED.
By the Use of the New Scalp Antiseptic

It wouldn't take long to number the
hairs in the heads of some people, the
reason being they haven't many to num-
Der. In most instances, however, the fault
is their own. A germ at the root soon
plays havoc with the most 1uxuriant
growth and causes it to fade and fall out.
a remedy for this has recently been dis
covered, called Newbro's Herpicide, that
acts by destroying the germ that does
the damage. besides removing all impuri-
ties from the scalp. In addition it per-
mits new life and vigor to enter the scalp
and happy results are sure to be obtained
from it's use. Try it. Sold by leading
druggists. Send 10c in stamps for sample

WILL. FOUND.

Uncle Billy Shuck, at a ripe
old age, passed from this life to
the life 10 come last February.
Some eight years ago, or to
be exact, Jan. 8, 1896 he made
a will. Afterwards, because it
created some feeling among
ONE of the heirs, he let the i'm.
preston get out that the will
lad been destroyed.
After his death no will could
be found, so his widow was APP
pointed Administrative of the
estate, which was valued at
$4,000, giving bond as such.
The estate was being admin
istered upon in the usual man
ner until a few days since, when
Mrs. Shuck in overhauling some
rec eipts found the will, which
had been drawn by ]. G. Gentry
a nd witnessed by Drs. j. j Nor.
ton and S. M. Brown
DR., Brown recognized the will
as signed by him and his partner
DR.. Norton--who has passed to
that better land-as valid and
original.
Judge r. f. Hurd, probate
judge, was notified and now the
estate will be handled in the
usual way.
Five ladies who would have
been cut out entirely, are by the
will given 200 acres of land at
Mrs. Shuck's death.
Just after Uncle Billy's death
forty seven heirs brought suit
for a partition sale. The will
cuts them clean out of the
runnin'.
