dramatic situations without yielding to
melodramatic Celebrations. 1t intro
duces the most ludicrous of comedy
without the necessity of forced intro
duction Besides it has a quaint ro
nance, picturesque atmosphere and
wholesome sentiment.

The Constant Wearing of a Hat Prop
agates Dandruff Germs.

There are many men who wear their
hats practically all the time when
awake, and are blessed with a heavy
shock of hair; yet If the scalps of
these same men once became infested
with dandruff germs, the parasites
would multiply all the quicker for lack
of air. Badness would ensue as the
final result. Newbro's Herpicide kills
these germs and stimulates unhealthy
hair to abundant growth. Herpicidc

Can Sign Sellers Name.

New York Jan. 1.-THE right
to sign another mans name to a
railroad ticket which has been
sold by one passenger to another
has been affirmed by the supreme
court here. The decision estab-
fishes a precedent.
The decision was given by
Justice Leventritt in the case of
ArchibaldC c. Newburn, accused of
having forged the name of George
Z. Whitcomb to a railroad ticket.
Whitcomb was the original pur-
chaser of this ticket and sold it to
Newburn.
Newburn was arrested when he
signed Whitcomb's name to the
ticket. Justice Leventritt held
the mere sale of the ticket carried
with it the purchasers right to

A new LAKE FORMING.
NE Course of . River is Turned, in
California.

Washington, Jan. 17.-The
changes now taking place in that
part of southern California which
is known as the Salton sink, Sal
ton sea. imperil valley, or Colo
RADIO desert, have resulted in the
director Of the United States
geological survey ordering an i'm
mediate survey of the entire area.
What is now a fertile and
populous valley was many centur-
les a great lake or inland sea a
hundred miles in length, into
which flowed the waters of the
Colorado river. Owing to
changes in the course of the river
sthe inflow ceased and the water of
the lake finally evaporated. At
the lowest point in the valley a
salt marsh was left, the bottom of
which ws nearly 300 feet below
sea level.
About a year ago an irrigation
company cut a shallow ditch
through the bank of the Colorado
river into this basin. A little
later, at a time when the water in
the river was very high, the banks
of this ditch we're cut away and
its bottom was secured out by the
rapid current, so that now practi-
cally the entire volume of the
water in the river flows into the
basin. During the past six or
eight months thousands of dollars
have been expended in various
Intellectual attempts to control the
inflow of the river. The salt
marsh.has been enlarged to form
a lake forty or fifty miles in
length, the water of which is ris-
ing at the rate of about an inch a
day. .:

WHEAT. PRICES ALREADY High.
Not Much Further Advance May be
Looked For.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan. IL
The Minneapolis Market Record
of today says:
cThe prices of grain have been
rather satisfactory since the har-
vest of519O5. This too have been
in the face of an unusually large
crop harvested in this country.
1t is true that the consumption at
home is steadily increasing and
absorbs considerable more of the
surplus each year leaving less for
export. Still the exportable sur
plus promises to reach we'll up
o toward 100000 bushels of wheat.
The late fall crop may be said in a
general wav to be quite promising
even more promising than a year
ago. The situation in Europe where
a very large proportion of the
entire wheat crop is grown is
also favorable. The only serious
. drawback In the European con-
'dition is the political agitation in
Russia, where the farm and peas
ant class appear to be more and
more interested in national poll
tices, this probably caused some
falling off in the amount of land
seeded. Growth in Russia up to
the present time is reported to be
generally satisfactory. Germany,
Italy and France present favorable
crop conditions. Roumania and
Belgium also report weather and
crop conditions good. Satisfactory
conditions are also reported from
all Turkey in Europe and the
North African countries along
the Mediterranean report good
prospects and with a larger crop
} harvest In Argentine than last
year the outlook for very much
higher wheat values is. not really
promising. Manipulation of the
market may have: Temporary
effects but in the end legitimate
cOnditiOnsowill naturally prevail.

THE INDEPENDENT VOTER.
He is The Salt Of the Earth and the
Hope of the Land.

The following, from a semi
political journal has whole lot
of meat in it:
These are hard times for the
professional politician. The rural
free delivery and the Independent
newspaper are driving him out of
business. In city and county mat
ters it is coming to be question
of the best man for office and not
which party he belongs to.
There are plenty of democrats
who make as good township trus-
tees as republicans, and there are
republicans who fill the township
offices just as well as the demo-
Gratis. This applies to every coun-
ty Office.
The Independent voter is the
man who now decides elections
and in city and county matters he
knows no politics. This is as it
ought to be.
Professional politicians are
always grafters. Jerome won
his great fight in New York last
fall by asking the question {;
Where did they get itl" He re-
ferred to the rich bosses and the
source of their wealth. This is a
quetsion that can be asked about
some men in every city in every
county.
The number of political bosses
is getting less, however, and there
are not as many men hanging
around" the office holders in this
city and county as there used to
be. In fact, public sentiment is
becoming so strong that the office
holders are beginning to be afraid
to be seen in the company of pro-
fessional grafters.
What is to become of the man
who looks wise and pulls
strings" and for a consideration
fixes" some fellow who never
needed fixing and what is to be-
come of the other fellow who bull
dozes the Office holders and makes
them pony up" to save the
cause.
If men who run for office have
nothing to fix and are not afraid
of the bulldozers, then goodbye to
the professional political CRATER.

Topeka, Kans., Jan. 17.-Gov-

gave out a summary of the report
of the state accountant, which
shows that the state treasury is
short $50, 1880 in coupons from

SOUTH CAROLINA HoMEsPUM.

Cannon to day appeared in the House
clad in new suit of homespun, hand
woven jeans. The fabric was made from
wool of South Carolina sheep by an old
woman who greatly admires Speaker
III. She made the gift through Repre-
sentative Aiken, of South Carolina, to
whom she also gave cloth for suit. The
Speaker had the material made up by q
Washington tailor and wore it for the
first time to-day. He received many
compliments upon his "dressy appear
ance."
So much has been said in the news.
papers about the State entitled to the
honor of presenting the suit of home
spun jeans to Speaker Cannon, the claim
even being made by the Charlotte OBJ
server that the suit was sent from North
Carolina, but the claim having been
utterly refuted by our own great daily,
the Charleston News and Courier, it is
now in order for Ocouee to speak word
for the sake of keeping the record
straight, lest the future historian. might
find himself entirely at loss as 10 the
exact truth of the claims put forward
about this high contention between these
sovereign States. But, fortunately for
all parties, we can set the matter at rest.
This suit was made from wool, the wool
was grown on the back of sheep, the
sheep grazed in pastures green, the pas
lures green are found on the gentle
slopes of the foothills of the great Blue
l..
county, Oconee county in the State of
South Carolina, and South Carolina is
again in the "indestructible Union of
indestructible States," and Speaker Can
non can be as greatly admired" by one
of our fair sex as by those of any other
section, for the eminent ability and ex-
alted patriotism which distinguishes him
as a great American in both public and
private station. This was the motive
which inspired the gift, and Miss Frances
Orr, of Oconee county, South Carolina,
modest, unassuming woman, but withal
of domestic turn of mind and generous
heart, tended the sheep, spun the wool,
wove the jeans, and by the hands of her
personal friend, the popular Congress-
man of the Third District, Wyatt Aiken,
sent the pattern to Speaker Cannon. The
honor is hers, and her county and State
may feel pardonable pride that it is so.
Our sister County of Anderson comes
forward with tho gift of pair of woolen
suspenders by w. w. Russell, and now it
is in order for the boys in The Courier
office to present pair of home-knit

Speaker Cannon's GalIuses.

Washington, January 19.-Speaker
Cannon received another present to-day
from another South Carolina admirer.
The gift was pair of haud-knitted,
homemade 'galluses." The sender.
who transmitted the present through
Representative Aiken, expressed the
thought that inasmuch as the Speaker
was wearing a suit of hand-spun jeans,
it was proper that trousers thereof DO
held up byIa pair of old-fashioned "gal-
lnsos." The galluses are made with
yarn, closely and carefully knitted in
separate pieces, with double button
holes, for 1t is expected they will stretch.
The Speaker declared they were just
like the kind ho used to wear years ago,
and he will use these for the purposes
for which they were intended. "They
are just the kind worn by the one-gallus
brigade, of which old Governor Oglesby
used to tell, and to whom Champ Clark
appeals in his district in Missouri" said
the Speaker.
