and Saps the Hairs Vitality.
People who complain of falling hair
as rule do not know that it is the
result of dandruff, which is caused by
4 pestiferous parasite burrOwing up
the scalp as it digs down to the sheath
in which the hair is fed in the scalp.
Before long the hair root is shriveled
up and the hair drops out If the work
of the germ is not destroyed hair
keeps thinning till badness comes.
The only way TO cure dandruff is to
kill the germ. and until now there has
been no hair preparation that would

eradicated by Newbro's Herpicide.

MOLINE

East Moline Men Banquet.-Fifty
citizens turned cut Monday evening
to a smoker given by the East Moline
Business Mems association. The gen
eral interest and support for the>asso-
citation which their presence indicated
proved a source of qualification to
those who have fostered the new or
ganization. Further evidence of pros
perity was the presentation of IL new
applications for membership. The at
fair took place in l. o. o. f. hall and
the season of talks and cigars was
followed by refreshments. w. A.
Meese of Moline and Henry Vollmer
of Davenport were the principal speak
ers of the evening. c. F. Grant, was
also present from Moline and spoke
few words of advice and encourage
ment.
Will Renovate H,otel.-Every room
in the Manufacturers hotel will be re-
papered, the interior of the hosiery
will be entirely reprinted and there
will be an oVerhauling in which all
traces of the damage done by the fire
last week will be Oblterated. The
lobby and Office will be redecorated
and art glass of new design will be
placed in the light shaft above the
lobby. w. A. Dierolf already has been
given the contract for the work and
will put force of men on the job at
once. Every carpet is to be taken up
and cleaned by steam. The Innings
under the carpets will be taken up and
new material will be laid. All the
furniture will be renovated and new
linen and bedding will be purchased.
Settlement made by the insurance
companies affords the hotel assOcia-
ton the benefit of all salvage, but in
the desire TO provide everything of the
best there will be no disposition to re-
tain anything in the nature of linen
or bedding that may retain traces of
smoke.

pany Establish Working Camp
Below Power House.

The Gilman Bed Rock Mining Co,
patentees and owners OF a n'w ma
chine for securing the gold from the
he'd of Rogue river and which prom
ises to revolutionize river bed mining
has established working camp just
below the old power house. The
company has just put force of men
at work at this camp to build the large
barees and a couple Of small skiffs
for the operation of the first machine
which is now being constructed at
Sacramento, CAL. and will be COM
pleted by the middle Of June or the
first of July. The barges above men
toned will be completed by the first
of June.
Mr.. Gilman, the inventor OF this
new machine, has had contsructed
small working model for demonstrs-
tion purposes for the benefit OF pros
pectiye investors in the company s
stock. Mr.. q. G, Clark, one OF the
u
board of directors of the mpany
with his wife, arrived in Grants Pass
Tuesday morning TO aid MI Gilman
in establishing headquarters for the
company in this city and to close out
the balance of the stocE. However
there is but a small amount of the
stock left and it is expected this will
all be sold within the next week If
not before. 1t was at the personal
equest Of NJ. Gilman. the inventor OF
the machine, that Grnats Pass people
be given the first opportunity to pur-
chase the remaining stock. Hs has
prospected from the source of Rogue
River to the beach, but has made
Grants Pass his home for the greater
part of the time and is anxious to give
his friends here an opportunity to get
some OF the money to be gathered
from the bed Of the Rogue with this
machine.
Anyone who will 90 and see this
model operated cannot fail to at once
ooncede its practicability. Its sim
plicity is a wonder and the minimum
expense Of operation Of the machine
must at once commend itself to any
rational person. And it does not cost
a fortune to become q stock holder
, Ysu can invest from 500 to $3.50. a,
