Two Propositions Relating to Use of

tn hp Suhmittel tn the Rail

the Engine From Now Until April 1
to be Submitted to the Rail
road Company.
The regular monthly meeting of the
Mayor and Aldermen, of Frederick, was
held last week with all the members
present.
A proposition was read from Emory
l.. Coblcntz and Frank l.. Stoner, attor-
neys of the W., F. & G. r. r., stating
that they were authorized by the com
panv to state that if the board would
extend the permit for the use of steam
on Fourth street until July /, 1909, the
company would agree to substitute other
motive power on the street on or before
that date, or discontinue the use of its
tracks on the street until further per-
mitted by the board, and to this end the
company was willing to give bond Of
indemnity to the city in such reasonable
sum as might be designated by the
board, not exceeding the sum of $40, 900
in some bonding or surety company to
be approved by the board.
Mr. Gambrill offered the following
motion:
"That the Washington, Frederick and
Gettysburg Railroad Company be imme-
diately notified that, as they are now
using or running steam engines over it's
tracks within the city limits of Frederick,
which is in direct violation of its chart
cred rights, that if they continue to run
said engine or engines over that portion
of Fourth street which lies east of Elm
street for any purpose other than the
hauling of construction material that
their franchise be revoked at once.
"And that said railway company be
permitted to use steam on Fourth street
east of Elm street for construction pur-
poses only until April l, A. d. 1909"
Mr.. LoWenstein stated that he was not
in favor of steam road, and offered a
substitute motion that the railroad com
pany be given the right to use steam
engine until April /, 1909, and to give
bond that it would cease at that time.
The substitute motion was carried.

FREAK DERR's HEAD BROUGHT
TO TOWN BY HUNTER

Every shooting season brings to
public attention some freak specimen
Of deer, either in relation to size, col
or, or the growth of its antlers, and
this year is NO exception to the rule.
A deer's head that has attracted q
great deal of notice in that respect
was brought to town on Tuesday by
John Asher and was placed on exhi-
htion at the Star restaurant. The
animal to which it belonged was shot
by Mr.. Asher near Bumback springs.
and was a beautiful specimen OF its
kind, Weighing about 200 pounds. 1t
was a healthy and well-developed deer
In all particulars, except its antlers,
which were merely a cluster OF rudi-
mentary and useless horns. Instead
Of the usual primary branches with
half dozen or more prongs there was
on the top Of the head . group Of
about twenty bony n0dules, or "nub-
bins" all Of which were covered with
a velvety growth in the most fantastic
manner. The deer in question had
been observed in the neighborhood Of
Bumback springs for year or more
and had bssn the subject of consider
able curiosity ON the part Of people
who had seen It. Mr.. Asher will send
he head to . well-known taxidermist
q Colombo Springs TO Be moaatsd.

ARE n1cRosEs m YoUR SCALP
Many Explanations u Badness Have
Been Advanced. Tie Most Correct
eIs That Of Microbes.

The term "microbe" refers to
parasitic plant or fungi also called
bacteria. A microbe is 80 small that
1t can only be detected by the aid
OF miscrope. Some microbes are
harmless. while others produce vari-
GUS diseases. and derive their titles
through the form OF their growth or
because of the diseases they create,
which diseases are infectious or con-
tagious.
Prof. Unna of Hamburg, Germany,
and DR.. Sabourand, the leading der
matologist of France, discovered that
microbe caused badness, and their
theory has time and again been amply
verified through research expert
ments carried on through the obser-
walton of eminent scientists. The mi
crobe lodges in the Sebum, which is
the natural hair oil. and If permitted
to flourish, it destroys the hair fol-
licles, and in time the pores entirely
close and the. scalp gradually takes
on shiny appearance. When this
happens there Is no hope of the hair
growth being revived. .- ..
,DandruH is contagious disease
which a microbe causes. and. later
produces itching scalp, falling hair
and badness. Dandruff is caused by
the microbe diseaslng the sebaceous
matter, which dries up and scales on.
Sometimes the cuticle surrounding
the hair allows the natural oil of the
hair to force Its way between the
flakes of scarf skin direct to the hair,
and the microbe being between the
fakes force them apart and they scale
off as dandruff. ..
We have remedy which positively
will remove dandruff. exterminate the
microbe. promote good circulation in
the scalp. tighten and revitalize the
hair roots. grow hair and cure bald
ness. We back up this statement on
our own personal guarantee that this
remedy, which is called Rexall "93"

COLORADO A REPUBLICAN STATE

The most optomistic views should
be taken of the political situation in
Colorado by the Republicans this
year. Colorado can be counted in the
Republican column just as safely as
any state in the Union. She will elect
Mcdonald and he entire state ticket
and give Taft good majority.
Two years ago Governor Buchtel
was elected by a plu: ality of 1874.
notwithstanding the peculiar and un-
usual circumstances surrounding his
choice as q candidate, and the further
fact that he was opposed by a whimsi-
cal vote of 1880 cast for Lindsey. and
q so-called labor vote OF 1898 cast
for Haywood, the idol OF the Western
Federation.
The majorities for the Republicans
on the balance Of the state ticket were
about $4,000. showing that the Lind
sey vote almost entirely, and the Hay
wood vote partially, came from the
vote that would otherwise have gone
to Buchtel. Adams vote for governor
was practically as large as were the
votes of other Democratic candidates.
That the Lindsey vote came almost
entirely from Governor Buchtel is evi-
denced by the vote in Fremont county
-Buchtel ran about $50 behind the
balance of the state ticket and lost the
sounty by 1872; the other Republican
candidates, not being affected by the
Lindsey influence, carried the county
by an average of 125 each. 81 57... =.
No set of state officials ever made
better record for wise. economical and
business-like administration OF state
affairs than has the present one, and
certainly no person who voted the
Republicon ticket in 1906 can for one
moment find any fault with the Of
flcial conduct of the state ofncials, or
have any cause to regret his action.
On the contrary, the citizens Of this
state In reater numbers than ever
before stand ready by their votes and
influence to support such an admin
istration.
Nothing has occurred in any de-
partment to cause a single word Of
unfavorable comment relative to the
conduct Of the States business under
Republican rule, and how the Demo-
cratic party can console itself with
the hope OF defections from the Re-
publican ranks this year is more than
10 conceivable to the ordinary observ-
Or. ..- -......... .-.. ~.
Much hope has no doubt been en-
gendered among the Democrats be-
cause Of the fancied strength in this
state Of Mr.. Bryan and his ability to
pull through the balance Of the Demo-
cratic ticket. It has been demonstrat-
ed On more than one OCCASION that the
average voter In this state knows
pretty well how to scratch his Or hsr

he carried it by about $4,000. Not a
great deal of consolation for his par
ty when a comparison was made of
the vote for the two elections. 1t was
clearly evident that the Republicans
who had so blindly supported him four
years previous were gradually COM
ing out from under the influence Of
the Democratic dope"
Then came the "whirlwind"-Roose
welt. and Colorado suddenly awakened
and gave him the majority rightfully
his. Is there any logical deduction
that can be drawn from these facts
that will lead even he most visionary
to imagine that Colorado will give
Bryan a majority this year? And more
particularly so when he stands on the
conglomorate platform he does?
No; the time for Bryan majoritles
in this state Is past and gone. Colo
rado is rightfully and normally Re-
publican state; the officers elected by
that party and now in power have
made good; the state ticket now be-
fore the people is composed Of equal
ly good and capable men; our citizen
ship is proud to be numbered with
the followers of Taft and Sherman.

10000 ACRES OF THE RICHEST SUGAR
BEET AND CANTALOUPR LAND IN THE
ARKANsAS vALLRY10N MAN LIZ OF
FACTORIES AND SE8TLED COMNUNITY
We want you to come to La Junta and in
vesdgate the liberal offer which we are
making to farmers and investors to settle
10000 acres Of land adjoining the town
and extending for nine miles along the main
line Of the Santa Fe railroad.
Our great irrigation system has just been
completed and we are going to turn this
land into one OF the most prosperous SEC
uons of the Arkansas valley.
To do this we need thrifty, intelligent
farmers to take advantage of the liberal
opportunity which we offer to those who
are willing to be convinced.
This rich mesa land can be had now at
a price that practically guarantees those
who buy land for investment a large pro-
fit when they want to sell; or to the farmer.
the man who wants to actually settle on
was ever offered.
You can buy this irrigated land today at
a very low price per acre, with hrst-class
water rights, having stream flow and stor-
we know that II you are familiar with ir-
rigated land you will realize that you are
being offered land which, under cultivation
will pay 18 to 25 per cent per annum grow
ing alfalfa alone.
But the creditable showing made by al
falfa is exceeded by the sugar beet as a
profit Garner. The average yield Per acre
in the Arkansas valley 10 16 tons worth
IS per ton to the grower loaded on the
cars. The average cost Of producing sugar
beets is about &36 per acre - follows:
Flowing, $3.50; leveling. 16c; two harrow
ings, soc; 20 lbs. seed, $500; planting, SOC;
four CIVILIZATIONS, $3.50; furrowing for ir-
rigation: eoc; three irrisations. e1.1e; thin
ming, 500; hoeing, $500; plowing out
$500.
Much of this work can be done by the
grower. but were it all hired and the crop
only an average one there would still re-
main a profit Of $46 per acre. Careful
planters frequently produce between 20 and
80 tons to the acre. and as high ~ 40 tons
have been recorded. Care and industry
count for much.
And now comes the cantaloupe with still
larger profits This luscious melon Of the
delicate flavor peculiar to Oter0 county I'm

other vegetables outstrip the cantaloupe
