| Old timers here have lots of in

Dalton, who came with the build
ing OF the o. p. railroad here in
1857, and died here last week.
At that time he was an 'eIegant
Irish gentleman" wore high silk
hat and crank on elegant nee
ties, every few davs appearing in
a new one of the latest styles,
But his slick hands were the
siickest at cards of anyone IN the
town Always "perfect gentle
man" yet carving the scars all
over his body of trouble of his
own. He couldn't be killed.
He had a fine saloon, high rol-

Bill Dalton's saloon in HAYS
1t was framed in Salina aud then
shipped here ready to be erected.
With the single exception of
Tom Drums. it was the busiest
aud most noted public resort in
the then wild and woody town of
Hays. The advertisement of MS
place of business appears IN the
Hays CStu Advnnce, Nov. 25th
1867, 80 years ago. The motto of
the resort was painted in big let

and it IS needless ie say that the
balls ana roll hnigh and on tor "a
hours each day and money passed
over the counter like wheat from
the threshing machine which has
now taken the place of the saloon
and gaming tables of other days.
Later he started a saloon in Ellis
and 1t was there he married Susan.
His father re married and as
he couldn't get along, heefeft home
in 1853 and went to California,
leaving at home an only sister, who
afterward married man named
Murphy, first name unknown.
On his death bed he told his
nurse, Mrs. = be never heard
from her since; that on his return
from California and Mexico IN
1866 he went east aud searched for
them but had moved-gone no one
knew where, and he came back
to Kansas, Salina and Hays, alone
in this wide world" !"
To this sister, if living, and If
dead, to HER children, if any, he
has left The residue of his estate,
and left $500 to have a thorough
Church record search made for

left to BRING his wife's body hero

NATURES LAXATIVE THE BEST
Many Are so-calIed Natural

There are many laxatiyes on the mar
ket that are often styled Natural be
cause of the well known fact that the
laxative which nature gives us is the
best. Such ones are constantly COM
ing up, but soon disappear because in
reality they are manufactured, and can
never attain the inimitable merits of
the products of nature. Hunyadi Janos,
the genuine natural laxative water,
has stood at the head for nearly half
century as the only laxative whose
established reputation is its best rec
ommendation. 1t remains always the
standard because it is natures remedy
in it's original form, pure and simple,
in no way dependent, as the others are,
on artificial composition. AT all drug

SUN AND SNOW

Sometimes Help the Hair to Go.
In any changeable climate the hair
is apt to become brittle and to break
off stubby here and there. This makes
hair dressing almost necessity, es-
pecially to ladies. In using a hair
dressing, why not get the best, one that
combines with it the efficiency in kill
ing the dandruff germ that eats the
hair off at the roots, causing what is
called falling hair. and in time bald
ness. Newbro's "Herpicide" is that
kind of hair dressing. You have no
idea how delightful your scalp will
feel, and how stylish your hair will ap-
pear, after an application or two of
Herpicide. 1t is certainly a wonderful
innovation as scalp antiseptic and
hair dressing. Sold by leading drug
gists. Send 10 cents in stamps for
sample TO the Herpicide company, De-

CLAY COMES DOWN FROM HILL
Streets in South Central Part of City
Covered With Yellow Mud.

Residents in a portion of the south
central part of the city will have oc-
casion to be profoundly thankful when
the clay hill between Seventeenth ana
Twentieth streets south of Twelfth av-
enue is all washed away, if nothing else
is to he done with it. Every time
there is a heavy rain the streets and
even the sidewalks below for blocks
are covered with yellow mud that Is
scarcely cleaned away before more
comes. The thawing weather followed
by the rain of the last two days has
probably moved more clay than has
been carried down in the same period
heretofore, and the result is that in
some places the streets are curb full
of soft ooZe causing great inconvenl-
ence and requiring considerable eX-
pense for it's removal.
