DON'T BE BALD.
Neaiy Anyone May Secure Splendid
Growth of Hair.

You can easily find out for yourself
if your hair needs nourishment, if it is
thinning out, getting dry, harsh and
brittle, or splitting at the end You
simply have to pull hair from the
top of your head and closely examine
its root. If the bulb is pump and
rosy, it is all right-if it is white and
shrunken, your hair is diseased and
needs nourishment
We have a remedy for hair troubles
that cannot be surpassed. 1t has a
record of growing hair and curing
badness in 80 out of every 100 cases
where used according TO directions for
a reasonable length of time. 1t will
even grow hair on bald heads, if the
scalp is not glazed and shiny. That
may seem like a strong statement-it
is, and we mean it to be. and no one

Governor Campbell up in his efforts
to have the laws enforced in some of
the bigger towns of the state. As a
preliminary move toward this end the
governor has refused to sign the COM
missions of some of the officers of

hold up commissions of Galveston of

the law ought to make good or resign
his office. If he refuses to do either

AT THE THEATRE.

The Clansman was the attraction at
the Ien::sls.
nee and Saturday night THE show
was virtually repetition of the last
years performance, except that the
new opera house with its extensive
stage gave opportunity to use all of
the scenery carried by the company,
and the cavalry horses were used here
for the first time, and they are bean-
ties. Only fair audience saw the
show, due, no doubt, to the fact that
the same play had been seen here on
two previous occasions.

developments in this good old town

State Railroad is going to arrive early
in the year, giving the city a new rail

If Palestine continues to build con-
crete sidewalks in the next year as
she has done in the past few months,
this will soon be town of good side

stretches of good sidewalk on the
north side of the city, and the people
are not through building, either.

ment that at yesterdays conference
with President Roosevelt at Sycamore
Hill it was developed that the cons

the nomination of Governor Hughes

This belief was based on the fact
that Hughes candidacy was broader
than the questions involved in New
York state politics.
Hitchcock Approves.
Chairman Frank Hitchcock was
present when Sherman stated the re-
suits of the conference and assented
to all the vice presidential nominee
said.
VIII End Opposition.
The statement made today unques-

Governor Hughes, though 1t is pos
sible individuals will continue to voice
their protests.
Would Not Quote President.

Impairment Of Act.
That the Interpretation OF the

An Erroneous Construction.
THE the ruling stated IN the opin-

number Of ~offenses involves an erron-

fails to take into consideration that
the thing which is prohibited by the
act is the transportation of property
at the unlawful rate.
Unjust Criticism.
That the criticism of the trial Judge
for abuse Of discretion rests upon a
wrong assumption Of what the trial
Judge actually did, and assumes that
he attempted to try and punish the

That the ruling stated in the opin-
ion to the effect that a fine is exces-

ability Of the defendant to pay is an
innovation in criminal law and II gen.

Doubtful Rule Of Law.
That, in short, the opinion as 1t
stands enormously states msteriAl por-
tions of the record; does injnstice to
the trial Judge; leaves doubtful in a
new trial the rule OF law to be applied,
both as to knowledge on the part of
the shipper. and as to the number OF

the language OF the presiding judge
