The trial Of the case Of Christina Nelson
against James II. Lauer and the United
States Surety company Of Baltimore for
5000 damages was begun in the United
States circuit court before Judge 7. c.
Munger Saturday morning,
The suit is the outgrowth of the acct
dental death of Chris Nelson. a milkman
of East Omaha, who was drowned while
crossing the ice Of Cutoff lake on his re-
turn home from the saloon of ]. II. Lauer

cred until it came to the surface in Cut
off lake I'm April. The coroner's verdict

VOCAL RAINBoWS in ACTION
Melody of Northern Colonel induces
burst of song from Colonel
Chott.

Thousands Of eager eyes have watched the
southern heavens, illuminated of late by
northern lights. Colonel Jim Ham Lewis
Of Chicago. torch-bearer of the Hon. John
Worth Kern, has flickered and famed
through the south. All felt that his cul-
minant and perfect hour must be In Bun
combe county. 1t was. He flashed over
Asheville, the capital OF that renowned dis
tTict. BY a rare good fortune a poet and
painter, a soul Of fire and lip of jasmine
water was there. The large accent of the
early pithyramb Dick is heard in the paint
ing poem with which Colonel Chott, a ris-
ing, a risen genius Of the Asheville Citizen.
makes the scene immortal, His impression
OF the external Colonel Lewis:
A man of the French type, hair spread
like a marcel wave, whiskers OF auburn
tint and fanlike, with the art Of a practical
gymnast.
AS for the spoken, the sentences that
rolled with the l~iquidity that marke those
OF j, ]. Ingalls, or Robert Ingersoll," the
magic and the glow OF it are woven into
Colonel Chott's description:
Mr.. Lewis style was novel 10 the greater
part OF his audience, which sat silent in
unbroken numbers as meandering melody
flowed on like a Tennyson brook OF choicely
chosen words, necklaces of words, gaTlands
OF words, garlands Of sentences, whole arm
fuls OF poesy fresh garnered from the gar
dens where grow luXuriant the choice plants
OF the flora ana fauna OF the English Ian
guage as spoken by those few who like
Mr.. Lewis, can do cOnJurors' tricks with
IT, throwing a sentence here In air; a
thought between a sentence flashing with
radiant color betwixt the thrss, and then
the skillful junction OF all into a perfect
sentence, expressive OF novel thought. Be

SIOUX FALLS, s. D., Oct. H.-(Special.)-
A regular term Of United States court. with
Judge John E.. Garland of this city presid-
ing, will convene in Sioux Falls on Tues
day OF the coming week. For the first time
In many years, at the regular October term
OF court there will be no federal grand jury,
only a petit jury having been
for the term. Therefore, no criminal cases
will be tried. The term will be devoted to
the trial OF civil actions. Of which there
are quite a number, including several daEi-
age suits against railroad companies snd
other actions Of a similar character.
II is expected the term will not continue
for more than a week or ten days, which
will enable the jurymen and others to re-
turn home IN ample time 10 cast their votes

Ham Lewis or Mangum Chott! See the
artistic modesty of the latter:
The trainer of the savage English Ian
guage to make musical melody and initiate
the antics Of the Latin tongue and express
its subtle thoughts in educated English.
If you will but reach the people who are
now false friends, they can protect

Gladstone. SO the ineXpert writer Of colo
quail buncombe could catch that, but for
the rest his gripless grasp failed to catch

But the butterfly looks best In soaring for
freedom and the rainbow c|erulean blue Is
best and no man, woman or child in that
great audience but paid a tribute of sincere

dress.
So rainbow is piled on ainbow till no

administration to Colonel Jim Ham Lewis
and to Colonel Mangum p. Chott.-New

how MADE
MY LAIR GROW
Woman VITA MRrveIousIy Beautiful
Hair Gives Simple Home Prescrip-
ton Which She Used with Most
remarkable Results.

l was greatly troubled with dandruff and
failing hair, l tried many advertised hair
preparations and various prescriptions, but
they all signally failed; many Of them
made my hair greasy so It was impossible
to comb IL or do 1t up properly. l think
that many of the things l tried were posi-
lively injurious and from my own exper-
fence / cannot too strongly caution you
against ucing preparations containing wood
alcohol and other poisonous substances, /
believe they injure the roots of the hair.
After my long list of failures l finally
found a simple prescription which / used
with most remarkable results and / can
unhesitatingly state that It Is beyond doubt
the most wonderful thing for the hair l
have ever seen. Many of my friends have
also used II and obtained wonderful effects
therefrom. II not only 10 a powerful slim
ulant to the growth of the hair and for re-
storing gray hair to It's natural color, but it
10 equally good for removing dandruff, Civ
ing the hair life and hrilliancy. ETC., and
for the purpose Of keeping the scalp in
ftrst-class condition. II also makes
the hair much easier TO comb and arrange
in nice form. l have a friend who used il
two months and during that time il not
only stopped the falling Of his hair and
wonderfully increased its growth, but Il
practically restored all Of his gray hair 70
its natural color. You can obtain the in
gradients for making this wonderful prep
aration from almost any druggist. The
prescription Is as follows;
Bay rum. 6 or; Menthol crystal, one
half drachm; Lavona de Composee. 2 OF.
ro-kalon perfume, ! 10 2 teaspoonfuls.
Apply night and morning.: rub thor
oughly into the scalp.
Go 10 your druggist and ask for the
etBht-ounce bottle containing six ounces OF
Bay Rum, also one-half drachm Of Menthol
crystal, and for a tWo-ounce bottle OF La
NoIa de Composee. Mix the ingredients
yourself az your own home. Add the Men
thol crystal TO the Bay Rum and then pour
IN the LaNona dc Compose, and add the

.CORD0VA CANNOT
 BE INCORPORATED
Judge Reid Denies AppIica- tion of Residents of Eyak
 Inlet Village.

Judge Silas H. Reid, by decision handed down Saturday, placed d quietus on the hopes of certain resi- dents of the village of Cordova, said hopes being directed toward the in corporation of that place. According to a telegram received today by At torney Donohoe of the firm of Ostran- der and Donohoe, Judge Reid denied the application of the Cordovites on the grounds of lack of jurisdiction.
 The plan to incorporate Cordova was started by w. T. Love, an attor- ney of that place, and it was opposed by Ostrander and Donohoe on their own behalf and also on behalf of the Copper River and Northwestern. The petition took in the wharf, the land desired by the railroad for terminal purposes and the new townsite laid out by Messrs. Ostrandor, Donohoe, George Hazlett and Judge Lyons. There was no objection to the incor- poration of what is properly the vil- lage of Cordova as it stands at pre- sent, but when the petition was finally presented it lacked the num- Der of signatures requisite to give the court authority to sanction incorpo- ratiOI.
