In reply to the London Board of Trade s
invitation to various Chambers of Com
merce to express their views on the pro-
posed changes in the American tariff,
the Huddersfeld chamber suggests that
the British government should urge the
United States to restore the tariff which
prevailed prior to the Mckinley and Ding
ley tariffs. These tariffs, according to
the chamber, have proved practically pro-
hibitive to the heavier and low priced
woolen and worsted goods, and must.
therefore, have resulted in decrease in
the revenue in the United States.

Wakefield, Massy Man
Kills Two Daughters
Then Runs Amuek, Shooting
One Young Man.
Insanity the cause...vvlfs Escapes
BY Being Absent from Home.

Wakefield, Mace, Dec. S-Becoming
suddenly and violently insane, today,
Hiram L. Badger, a resident of this
town, killed his two daughters, Flor
ence, aged Is, and Catherine, aged Z,
and then ran amuck down the chief
thoroughfare Of the town, shooting at
persons he met on the street and fir
ing into the windows of the stores that
he passed. Fortunately only one fer
son was injured by Badger during his
mad rush down Main street, Fred
Wheeler, q grocerys clerk, receiving a
painful but not serious bullet in the
leg.
Badger was pursued by crowd of
the townspeople who finally captured
him and turned him over to the police.
He was locked up in the police station
where he spent his time in screaming
and raving in his cell.
At first it was thought that Badgers
wife had been killed by the crazed man,
but later it developed that the vic
tins of his frenzy were his two daugh-
ters. Their faces were unrecogniZable,
having been beaten terribly with a
club,
Badgers son, Leslie, aged IS. a ca
Diet on the Massachusetts Nautical
training ship Enterprise, was notified
of what had happened and he reached
Wakefield soon after.
Badger is about 40 years and is
native of this town He is laborer
and gardener and has worked for sew
eral persons about town. While his in
sanity developed suddenly, it was said
today that he has been acting pecu-
liarly of late. Mrs. Badger is also a
native of Wakefield.
Mrs. Badger, the mother of the mur
dered children, who had been away
from home on a brief visit, returned
tonight. She got her first news Of the
tragedy through reading of it in a
newspaper while on her way home.
The shock of the affair prostrated her
and tonight she. was under the care
of a physician. Her condition is such
that she was unable to make any state
ment regarding the probable cause of
the tragedy.
Badger was taken. to the Cambridge
jail this evening to be placed in a
padded cell in that institution. He
wore the straitjacket, which was put
on him while he was confined in the
local Jail. w.

sion of the subject by many local

We know of your frequent changes

Mr.. Fulton, since the nation re-
quires guarantee OF its deposits in

and the city of Portland does, why
does Taft oppose such a guarantee of
bank deposits for the farmer, the
workingman. the widow and the or

Mr.. Fulton, when you believe that
the people are not sufficiently INTEL

directly, and cannot discriminate
wisely under the initiative, do you
really believe they should accept your
reasons why Taft. who was six

OREGON JACKS
FOR ALBERTA
B.F. SWAGGART SELLS
CAR AND HALF TODAY.
Proprietor of Eastern Oregon Jack
Farm and Dealer i'm Mules for 80
Years, Will Send Some Blooded
Stock Across the Line Into Cana
da-Sale Made Through Showing at
Recent District Fair.

B. F. Swaggart. proprietor of the
Eastern Oregon Jack farm at Lexing-
ton, is jubilant over a shipment Of
mules TO Canada. which he has ar
ranged, having sold a car and a half
of stock to a prominent breeder just
over the line in Alberta. The deal
was consummated today and is the
result of Mr.. Swaggart's showing at
the district fair here where the mules
made a great impression on the Can
adian buyer. Mr.. Swaggart looks for
the development of a market in that
district through the introduction OF
his stock.
According to the breeder, one OF
Mr.. Swaggarts yearlings sold on the
street Saturday for $3.50 and the in
cident serves to recall the first sale
Of mules that veteran made in Umatll-
la county. Mr.. Swaggart has been
breeding jacks in this country for 80
years and his first sale was made
in Athena, where it was necessary to
advertise a second time before a
span could be auctioned off. 1t then
brought but 500. although the mules
were likely animals.

MICROBES IN THE SCALP.
The Latcs Explanation Is That Mi
crobcs Cause Badness.

Professor Unna of Hamburg, Ger
many. and Dr. Sabourand of Paris,
France, share the honor of having dis
covered the hair microbe.
Badness is not caused through a
few weeks work of these hair mi
crobes, but is the result of conditions
brought about by their presence. Bald
ness may not occur until years after
the microbes began work, but it is
certain to come sooner or later
The microbes cut off the blood sup
ply. They feed on the fatty matter
about the root of the hair, through
which the blood is absorbed. Finally
the fatty matter is wholly consumed,
the food supply Of the hair Is gone
and it starves and finally dies.
Resorcin is one of the most effec-
tive germ destroyers; Beta Napthol Is
both germlciad and antiseptlc; Pilo-
carpin though not a dye, restores
natural color to hair when loss of col
or was caused by disease. These cura-
tives properly mixed with alcohol as
stimulant, perfect remedy unequalled
for curing scalp and hair troubles.
We want anyone who has any scalp
or hair trouble to try Rexall "93"
Hair Tonic, which contains all these
ingredients. If 1t does not grow hair
on your bald head, stop hair from
falling out; cure you of dandruff;
make your hair thick, silky, luxurint;
if 1t does not give you complete sat
isfactlon in every particular, return
the empty bottle to US, and we shall
return every penny you paid us for
ii, without question or formality.
or course, you understand that
when we say that Rexall "93" Hair
Tonic will grow haid on bald heads
we do not refer to cases where the
roots are entirely dead, the pores Of
the scalp closed, and the head has
the shiny appearance of a billiard
ball. In cases like this, there is no
hone. In all other cases of badness
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic will positive
" grow haid, or cost the user moth

TO REFORM THE
NEW YORK BOWERY

New York, Oct. 19.-New York's
famous thoroughfare, the Bowery,
which has a reputation not altogether
creditabe, is to be redeemed by the
new Christian psychology. The heal
ing system known as the Emmanuel
movement, which had its origin in
Boston. was tried out at old st.
Marks in the Bowery last night, and
is likely to be a permanent feature OF
that Episcopal church.
The correction OF bad habits and the
cure of functional nervous disorders
are the principal aims Of the Emman-
uel missionaries, and they will have a
large field in the Bowery. DR.. FL
wood Worcester, a prominent Eplsco-
pal clergyman of Boston, originated
the movement, which has already
spread among Anglican churchmen
throughout the world.

SWIFT COMPANY'S
FEEDING GROUNDS.
WILL NOT LOCATE
AT PILOT ROCK
W. II. DaughtdeN County Representa-
tive Says He Has No knowledge
of Such Plans-Famous Umatilla
Ranch Being Broken Up Into Small
Holdings for Diversified Farming.

That the Swift Packing company
has no intention of making Pilot
Rock a feeding grounds was stated
this morning by VIM. II. Daughtrey
of Portland, who represents the inter-
ests of that big concern in Umatllla
county. Mr.. Daughtrey thought not,
but would not say whether any other
concern was desiring that location for
such purpose.
From the time of their purchase Of
the property some years ago until
the present season the Swift people
have used the Umatilla ranch in the
Meadows district as winter feeding
grounds. This plan has been aban-
doned at present, however, and al
though about 200 head of cattle are
being wintered at that place they are
being handled by individuals who have
leased pasture from the company.
The Swift people who are interest
ed in the ranch, and Mr.. Daughtrey
as their manager, have come to the
conclusion that the ranch as a dis
trict devoted to intensive cultivation
under diversified farming will be of
much greater value to themselves as
we'll as to the country, than in its
present form and It is being now
broken up into tracts of from 10 to
40 acres-the first big farm holding
in Umatilla county to be so cut up.
According to Mr.. Daughtrey the
showing made upon the ranch during
the past unfavorable season has dem
onstrated that II will take rank among
the frut-producing sections of the
west end. Until the orchards can be
developed however. many of the set
tiers are going into dairying and hon.
