In these days Of strenuous competition

The presence of Dandruff indicates the

lives and thrives on the roots of the
hair until it causes total badness.

destroyer of this pest, and it is as effec-

William Roman, the Lessee, entertained
a party OF city officials and friends

a visit. he kept out of serious difficulty
till yesterday. when he took a notion

TO have resulted from the wife's TAX

daughter by a previous marriage,
whom Tolton had whipped because he
said she was not behaving.
After Tolton had abused his daugh-
ter and the wife expostulated, Tolton
threw his wife and daughter out OF

seized him and gave him such beat

been filed looking to his arrest. A
