COLD KILLS THE GERM.
Lieut.. Perry Says There Are No Bald
Heads in the Arctic Region.

The people who come back from
Klondike testify TO the fact that no
native bald heads are there. The evi-
dence is that the cold climate kills the
germs that eat the hair off at the
root. Lieut.. Perry, who went to the
Arctic regions, gives the same evi-
dence Newbro's Herpicide has the
same effect as the cold climate. II
kills the germ that eats the hair off a
the roots, and the hair grows again.
Herpicide is the first hair remedy built
upon the principle of destroying the
germ that eats the hair off. Its phe.
nomenal sale demonstrates the cor
rectness of the scalp germ theory.

Hampton. Dec. S.-The w. III. Har-

age case, which took up all the time in
the district court last week, came to an
end Saturday afternoon, when the jury,
after. being out for ten hours, could not
agree.
This case was the outgrowth of some
delayed stock shipments in which MI
Harrison and number of his neigh
bors are interested.
On Dec. 81, 1904, Mr. Harrison. to-
gether with some Of his neighbors.
shipped stock to the Chicago market
over the Great Western from Hansell,
and instead of arriving at Chicago on
the morning of the 2Sth they did not
arrive until December 80. The ship
pers claimed the railroad company was
responsible for the delay, which was
caused by the blockadng Of the train
by heavy snow storm.
In the meantime the cattle market
had gone down 40 cents, which, with
the shrinkage caused the loss of about
s1.1O0. the amount of damages asked
by the plaintiff.

dency OF Fargo College, Fargo, n. ID.
Mr.. vittum's appointment to the
presidency of the North Dakota col
lege a few weeks ago was followed
by a request that he be released by
the church as pastor of the Grinnel
church. A resignation in the Congre-
gational church requires formal ac-
ton by council. and the action this
afternoon was in keeping with the
rules.
Rev. Mr.. Vittum had remarkable
pastorate. He came here when the
church needed just such a man as he
proved 10 De. sixteen years Work

the membership alone increased but

not alone his own church people. All
are glad. however, that his worth has

and one that will afford him an oppor-
tunity to show results from an expen-
diture of time and energy.

Gliding Twombly Case.

Special to Times Republican.
Osccola, Dec. 3.rhe people of Knox
township. Clarke county, came in for
scoring for the low tone of their NOR
ais, by Judge Evans in the district
court. in taking the case against T.. o..
Twombly from the jury and directing
a verdict for the defendant. Twomblv
was accused Of adultery with Mrs. Joe
France. wife of a former merchant of
Lacelle The case was sensational and
Twombly was indicted at
the September term of court by evil
dence offered by his beautiful wife. who
is asking for a divorce. She charged
improper relations with Mrs. France,
and when Mrs France. who is the
mother of ten children. went on the
stand. she not only admitted the rela-
tons with Twombly. but also several
other men. The state was unable.
however. to show corroberative evil
dence and the judge took the case from
the jury and directed verdict for the
defendant. This action is likely to
throw cold water upon the case of
France against Twomby for 100000
damages for the alienation of his wife's
affections
