SCIENCE PREVENTS BALDNEss.
The Fatal Germ and IT'S Remedy New
Facts of Science.

It is the rarest thing In the world for
q man to be necessarily bald. No man
whose hair is not dead at the roots, need
be bald IL he will use Newbro's Herpi-
eide, the new scalp antlseptic. Herpi-
eide destroys the germ that cuts the hair
of at the root; and cleans the scalp OF
dandruff and leaves it in a 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 its work by COW
ering his head with thick hair an inch

JOURNALISTIC FREAKS.

JOURNALISTIC MEANS
It is passing strange what journal
istic acumen some newspaper men are
possessed of. The press Of Oregon Is
presided over by some Of the most
versatile men. whose versatility sup
plants brain ami good judgment. The
different views on the indictment OF
Senator Mitchell. entertained by these
would be editors, are sufficient to drive
a polecat into convulsions. One OF the
most ludricious statements published
is that the Indictment OF Senator
Mitchell and Congressman Williamson
and Hermann will have tendency to
keep people away from the Lewis and
Clark fair. This statement. we are
informed, eminated from an Astoria
paper.
In order to dissaprove this assertion
and quiet the fears OF the infantile
journalist, 1t is only necessary to point
to the great success Of the st. Louis
fair. For year prior to the opening
of the gates the grand juries, both fed
eral and state, were constantly occupied
indicting members OF the legislature
for accepting dough from an alum bak-
ing powder company. and nearly every
one in the legislature, except the cnap-
lain and pages were indicted for COM
plicity in the scandal A large num-
Der of them were convicted and are
today serving terms in the peniten-
tiary. Others were fined and few
relegated into oblivion. This was the
principal reason for republican victory
in Missouri last Novmber when Roose-
welt carried the state. The democratic
majority was In the penitentiary and
the republicans had a walkover.
But this did not injure the fair. In
fact 1t was one Of the principal draw
ing cards. Thousands Of people went
to st, Louis as much to see an honest
prosecuting attorney, as they did to
see the foreign exhibits In fact the
exhibition of an honest attorney elicit
ed more admiration than did the liberal
arts building. Not only was 1t an at
traction to the fair, but the gate re-
ceipts were swelled to such propor-
tions that the commissioners were able
to reimburse the United States for the
temporary loan, besides providing
small dividend for the stockholders.
If a building could be erected for
indicted timber land fraud conspira-
tors, in the shape of "Tannery," with
the inscription over the door, Burn
This" it would be an attraction that
even men of limited means would be
willing to travel thousands Of miles to
see. 1t would be an advertising scheme
that would cause the blush of shame
to surmount the cheeks Of patent medi-
cine advertisers and be an inducement
for thousands of eastern people to To-
cate In Portland and throughout the
state.
II is to be hoped that the pesimistic
editors of Oregon will not lose any
sleep over the ultimate success Of the
Lewis and Clark fair owing to some of
it's members of congress having been
indicted. A miniature penitentiary suf-
ficiently large enough to hold all the
indicted members of the oregon timber
land ring, duly garbei in penitentiary
costumes--and plaids will be fashion
able this spring-would be another

LEAVING THEIR HOMES.

Events that happen in our own time
need the prospective OF years before
their historical worth can be ap-
ipraised and appreciated. Some day his
tory will make OF the extinguishej
Transvaal republic second Poland.
but we who know OF the heroic and
unequal struggle OF the Beers to save
their fatherland from extinction only
through the press dispatches at the
time. can hardly even yet grasp the
full tragic significance of that war
and its aftermath.
The news from Pretoria that the
Beers are irreconcilables, so far as
British domination OF their country is
concerned. and will soon practically
all have moved away and left the land
to the conqueror, will strike the sym
pathetic thinker as a story OF a ma
tion's fate sadder than the exile Of the
Acadians. The Pretoria dispatch in
question says most OF the remaining
Beers in the Transvaal are shortly TO
begin a grand trek across the land
of veldt and kopje to find asylum In
German East Africa. The commission
sent by the recent Boer convention
at Pretoria to view the grassy uplanis
between Mounts Kilimanjaro and Meru
has returned and. formally reported
them admirably adapted to cattle
grazing and agriculture. The new
country. which is practically terra in
cognito to white eyes. contains be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 square miles
or from 32,00O.OO0 to 3s,0O0,00O acres
This win give the herdkeeping burgh-
ers with their patriarchal habits

is understood that Emperor William
of Germany. whose famous telegram
to Paul Kruger indicated that he took
lively interest in these admirable
Dutch folk is making special effort
hundreds Of Boer families have emf.
grated to the United States Mexico.
South America and other parts of the
world.
No doubt the decimated and impov-
erished Beers would be happier where
they can lead their old lige out Of
sight of the hated British gold hunt
er and Tommy Atkins, too, but they
will not be happy long in German
Africa If the new land they move upon
hides in its arid breast the gold and
diamonds that proved the curse OF
their old home and brought to pass
the obstruction of the Transvaal re-
public. The Germans are quite so
lustful of gold and diamonds as the
British, and once let them find them
and there will be an end Of the Boer
dream Of peace. . ..
The departure of the Beers from the
Transvaal and Orange river colonies
will leave the new governmental own
ers free to work out their plans un-
hampered by a disloyal and unassimi-
lative element Of population, and Eng
land will be able to reimburse her
self many times over for the treasure
spent In conquering the Boer patriots
in arms. England has her booty in the
shape of the rich mines of the Rand
and she will work every vein to ex-
haustion.
But the moral of it all is full Of un-
speakable pathos. Some day the muse
of history will brush away a tear to
write the tragic story Of the dead
South African republic-if Clio feels

they solve the problem. Loafing is an

FISHING SEASON OPENS.

The fishing season opened Thurs
day, and all over Utah skillful MINI
rods are whipping the streams with
flies, or cautiously permitting bait
hooks, laden with little bullheads, TO
float down in the rifles and on into the
pool. UP to the hour of going to press
we have no information as to the
catches. save from Jack Robins and
Dick Rogers, who are up on Lost
Creek. A telephone message from
Croyden informs us that they are hav-
ing excellent luck-or, no, that isn't
the word that the skill of these
mighty men is producing wonderful
results. All trout weighing less than
a pound are carefully replaced in the
water and only the big ones retained.
Dick had 232 fish at six o'clock Thurs
day evening, while Robins and his
partner were close seconds with 231
and 230 each. That's going some. we
have no reason to doubt the sincerity
of this statement, because Dick never
lies, and Robins and his partner
couldn't, if they tried.
DIR. George, w. S. and w. l.. Eller-
beck went over to East Canyon and
from a man who just drove in we get
the information that the natives were
up in arms because of the wonderful
success displayed by this trio. The in
habitants declare that If the Eller-
becks are not driven out of the coun-
try there will not be fish left in the
creek. Jack Hume and some others
also went to East Canyon, but they
were not in it with the Ellerbecks.
Harry Simpler, the photographer
strayed over to Willow Creek, and
thereby hangs tale. Not the tail OF
a fish, but the tails of several fish.
Simpler took a camera with him and
bundle of suspicious looking articles,
that looked like PAPER mache trout.
So, any results recorded by Simpler
on this trip can be looked upon with
suspicion.
Next weeks papers will fairly
bristle with fish stories, so look out.

THE DEAD FRIEND EXHIBITED.
Announcement Of Undertaken Rather
Out of Place.


My father was a member for sever
al years of the New Hampshire and
Vermont Methodist Episcopal confer
ences, says a writer in the Boston
Herald. In common with all country
pastors, he had some laughable ex.
periences, and he never failed to see
the point in each one.
At one time he was called to attend
the funeral of a man who had been
well known and highly respected by
his townspeople. Twas a delightful
summer day, and the attendance OF
friends was large and crowded the
small farmhouse, so it was decided to
place the casket in the front yard.
The undertaken was a man of good
intentions, but not gifted in speech,
and when the time came for the
friends to view the remains he electri-
fled the officiating clergyman and
some others by extending the invita-
ton in this manner:
"The house being small, our dead
friend will be exhibited outdoors"

Midi a Nest of Criminals.

You will not find Midi marked on
the charts. 1t is, indeed, practically
unknown to civilization, and yet it is
on the shores of that highway Of
civilization, the Red sea. 1t is the
home of pirates and slavers, a regular
nest of criminals. The place is in
habited almost entirely by men; for
the sheik, who hold absolute rule
there, only permits a very few of his
best warriors to marry. Midi pays
no tribute to the Turkish govern
ment, and, as 1t lies at the far end
of long, narrow, muddy harbor, in
accessible to war vessels, is seems
probable that it may pursue its law
less career unchecked for many years
to come.

spiration. but insists upon the terminal

The American Line finds its names in

derivation commencing with M"
Allan liners names are drawn from
countries or great territories, but must
end in ''ian," and the Prince line makes
all of its vessels princes. the Castle
