Pa,yns His Uncle's Tomb.

VIENNA. Jan. 2s.-The friends and
comrades of Marshal Karl Won Turn
fort. who was curator of the army
museum in this city and died in 1896.
were recently much worried by the
fact that his body had been, secretly
removed from the magnificent mauso-
leum he had built in the ST. Leonard
cemetery at Gratz and placed in a
plebeian grave without even suitable
inscription or cross. Investigation re-
vealed the fact that a nephew of the
general. who led gay life. had
pledged his uncle's tomb as security
for large champagne bill at a fash
ionable hotel.

Remembered by Lady Curzon.

LONDON, Jan. 2S.-Lady Curzon's
recent illness caused kind inquiries to
be sent her from all sorts and condi-
tons OF people and it appears that not
the least welcome were those from old
servants and persons who had from
time to time been the objects of her
charity and benevolence. Many of
those among the poor folk who sent
sympathetic letters to her during her
severe illness received recently a sub
stantial acknowledgment in either
money or its equivalent.

Scaly
Scalps

Nine people out of every
ten have trouble with their
heads. Many of them
suffer from a species of
eczema, which forms a dry
scale upon the skin of
the scalp, popularity known
as dandruff. 81
If this condition be
neglected the hair follicle
loses all its vitality, the
hair becomes brittle and
falls out, and badness is
the inevitable result.
Coke Dandruff Cure has
proved to be the only
reliable cure for this
annoying condition. 1t
positively removes, with
one or two applications,
every trace of dandruff.
Faithfully used it will cure
every diseased condition OF
the scalp Except
constitutional blood
disorders), and will
produce luxuriant, glossy
growth of hair after all
other remedies have failed.
This is strong
statement and one which
we would not dare to make
if we were not in
possession of thousands of
grateful letters from people
in every walk of life, who
have proved, to their
intense qualification, the
wonderful powers of
Coke Dandruff Cure.
If you are annoyed with
any scalp trouble
whatsoever, get a bottle
to-day. Your druggist
will tell you the same story
of uninterrupted triumph.
Coke Dandruff Cure
contains absolutely nothing
of an injurious nature
and may be used on the
heads of the most delicate.

points in his argument even when
looked upon from neutral standpoint.
The policy of the President is a good
one and it is to be hoped that 1T will
bear fruit. The majority of the. peo-
pie of the country are in favor of a
protective tariff. They have shown
this by their votes. But some believe
that if the tariff were taken off the

with the meeting. knowing that It
would mean business suicide for him
The editorial concludes with the fol.
lowing astounding statements:
This case demonstrates all the ele
ments of a reign Of terror in Utah. LIB

things can be. Equality before the

things can be. 'Americanism' is as
remote from us as 1t is from the Zulu

"The Mormon church hierarchy has
set up in this state and in this repub
lie, the kingdom of God on earth, the
power Of which it exercises with such
relentless absolutism that no man
dare offend lest he be made to perish

maintenance-in all those worldly
things which make life desirable or
even possible in the community.
There is not one word of exagger.
alton in all the foregoing. 1t is pre-
scented to the American people for
their consideration. Utah statehood is
a tyranny for all who do not serve the
Mormon church

RESULTS OF REVISION.

William F. Draper, former congress
man and one time minister to Italy
devotes much space to a discussion
OF tariff revision and the results
which, in his opinion, would come
OF general revision of the duty
schedules. in an article published in
current magazine Mr.. Draper's
views are set forth in the followine
paragraphs:
1T would cause comm erciaI depres.
sion while being made.
1t would lessen our general pros.
perity after it was made.
1T would lower the wages of labor,
1t would not aid in solving the
trust problem.
"The clamor, such as there is. is
really not for general revision, but
for a reduction in certain schedules
and might be easier to consider and
act upon If there was agreement on
the schedules to be reduced. | have
discussed this question with business
men from all sections of the country
and have been unable to find any
strong sentiment for general revision,
though it is not difficult to find men
who favor reductions that would seem
of advantage to them individually If
no other changes were made. A few
New Englanders (1ike Governor Doug.
las) ask for free hides and free coal
or, like Mr.. Foss, for free iron and
free agricultural products. The west.

THE FARMERS INSTITUTE.

The first annual farmers institute to
be held in Wapello county promises
to be splendid success. The dates
are March 10 and H. Preparations
have been made to secure good speak
ers, both from within and outside of
the county. Men whose names are
known to every farmer in the state
will make addresses. the list being
headed by Governor A. B. Cummins.
Mr.. Cummins' well known position on
the railroad rate question is enough to
insure the farmers that his remarks
will be of interest to them. In fact,
much attention will probably be given
by all the speakers to this subject,
which IS one of the foremost and most
important of the many which now con-
front the tiller Of the soil and the
stock raiser in Iowa.
Henry Wallace. of Des Moines, edi-
tor of Wallace's Farmer, will also be
on the program for an address. Mr..
Wallace has taken great interest in
the rate problem and his speech will
be listened to with much interest. j.
S. Trigg, editor of the Iowa State
Register and of the farm and garden
column in the Courier, will also de.
liver an address on subjects close to
the farmers heart.
Senator S. H. Harper, of this city,
will address the institute and other

EXPANDING CITIES.

Is growing with a greater rapidity
than ever before in it's history. New

377. That is to say, Berlin proper is
city of 2SS3,000 population, and in
a period or four years there was a
growth of 311.000 in the population
Those who were in the geograp hy
classes of twenty years ago were told
that New York city had population
OF $40 900, and Berlin 100000. During
the past quarter Of century there
has been concentration in municipal
communities as never before in the
history of the world.
Rapid transit chiefly explains the
concentrated modern city. Rapid tran

that tunnels an outlet for the wastes

proportions it is assuming. Modern

gree of efficiency that the city whose

A EIGHT FOR LEE

The whole country sympathizes with
DR.. William r. Harper in his fight for
life and although the doctors say it is
impossible for him to live prayers are
being said in every city in the land
for his recovery. DR.. Harper is hero
of the kind that are seldom found
His unflinching stoicism in facing al
most sure death has set an example to
all who know him or know of him.
He has more to live for than the ma
jority of men, His life is just in it's
prime. His life work is not finished.
But he has turned his face toward the
inevitable without pause to glance
backward, and like Mckinley, he
leaves all with his Maker.
DIR. Harper is president of the Chi.
cago university. His personality has
made that institution one of the fore.
most in the country. He has built up
a school which compares favorably
with any in the country, judged by any
standard. He has the respect and love
of the members of the faculty and of
the students. But though he has made
wonderful strides with his university
he has not reached the goal for which
he started. His life work is unfin.
ished.
In view of all these facts the resig-
nation with which DR.. Harper went
forward, as 1T were, to meet death, is
the more wonderful. Without word
OF regret or complaint he placed him
self IN the hands of the surgeons and
announced that he was ready to die
if called by his Creator. Such an ex.
ample may we'll be remembered by
the friends and admirers Dr. Harper
leaves behind Such life, with such
an ending, must have it's influence for
good even after the breath has de.
serted the body.
