PROVE IT!
A lady from Minnesota writes:
"As result of using Dapdcrine, my hair
il close to five feet in LENGTH"
Beautiful Hair at Small Cost

LIAR troubles, like many other diseases. have
been wrongly diagnosed and altogether mis-
understood. The hair itself is not the thing to
be treated for the that it Is simply product
of the scalp and wholly dependent upon its action
The scalp the very soil in which the hair is pro-
duced, nurtured and grown. and it alone should
receive the attention if results are to be expected
II would do no earthly good to treat the stem OF
plant with view of making it grow and become
more beautiful-the soil in which the plant grows
must be attended Therefore, the scalp IN which
the hair grows must receive the attention If you are
to expect il to grow and become more beautiful
Loss of hair is caused by the scalp drying up
or losing it's supply Of moisture or nutriment; when
badness occurs the scalp has simply lost all its
nourishment, leaving nothing for the hair to feed
upon Ia plant or tree would die under similar
condtions)
The natural thing to do in either case, is to feed
and rcplensh the soil or scalp as the case may be-
and your crop will grow and multiply as nature
intended it should.
knowiton's Danderine has most wonder-
full effect upon the hair glands and Tissues ofthe
scalp. It 10 the only remedy forl the hair ever
discovered that is similar to the natural hair
foods or liquids Of the scalp.
It penetrates the pores quickly and the hair
soon shows the effects of its wonderfully exhilar-
ating and life-prodncing qualities.

WEBSTER is now CONFIDENT
Attorney for Water Board IL Craft
fed 0ver the Chance of
Review.

IT feel more confident than ever now Of
winning the water works case. II there
had not been a case, II the court did not
believe there was error in the judgment
rendered, 1t would never have taken the
case. The supreme court of the United
States does not do things that way, and In
the granting of the petition of the city OF
Omaha for a writ Of certiorari in the now
famous case the supreme court says by It's
action that the city Of Omaha has a case"
This statement was made by John L.
Webster, attorney for the city of Omaha
and the omaha Water board. in regard to
the granting Monday by the supreme court
of the writ for eeftAorari filed by Mr..
Webster, Carl c. Wright and Harry e.
Burnam for the city,ts
Mr.. Webster left lest night for Wash
ton to appear in a ,ase before the inter-
state Commerce commission.
The issue of the writ of certiorari by
the supreme court must be gratifying to all
Omaha taxpayers. and they ought to know
just how 1t was procured" says Victor
Rosewater. when I was in Washington
last month. just before the motion was set
for hearing. / met General Henderson
who told Inc hat he. was there for the
purpose of p~ersuading the court to issue
this writ. L do not want anything said
about 1t publicly said General Mander-
son to me. until l am through with my
mission. but I am trying to persuade the
members Of the supreme court to take up
this case. The granting or denial of this
motion is entirely discretionary. depending
upon the favor of the judges and / want
them to understand the Importance OF the
interests involved. The water works ordi-
nance with this purchase clause in 1t was
drawn and enacted while l was city at
torney and 1 nave a personal pride in see
ing II work out right
General Manderson accompanied Mr..
Webster when he presented the motion the
following Monday, and It is plain that the
weight of his influence on the city's side
has told in our favor"

MORE PAY BRINGS RECRUITS
Increase Provided Under New Law
stimulates Desire to Be
come Soldier.

The passage Of the bill for increase of
the pay OF enlisted men of the United
States army has had the effect of ma
terially stimulating e~nlistments in and
about Omaha during the month of May.
Ninety-two applications for enlistment we're
made during the month, of which only
fifteen were accepted, which is an evidence
that the government is rather choice in its
selection of men for positions behind the
guns
The general enlistments are for the in
fantry and coast artillery service. Only re-
enlistments are accepted for the cavalry
and field artillery branches, as both of
these branches are practically full at the
present time.
The general causes for rejection of APP
plieants are that they are either minors,
married men or are deficient in physical
qualifications and general unfitness. Mar
ried men can only be enlisted when they
have served in the army before or upon
the special application of commanding
officers.
The pay Of a private soldier at enlist
ment is now SIS per month. This is in
creased So per month for the first three
enlistments and the fourth to the seventh
enlistment the increase is 81 per month,
thus making the total monthly pay on the
seventh enlistment, or re-enlistment, SIS per
month.
The new law is already having the effect
Of inducing many Of the men to re-enlist
whose terms ave expired and will thus
keep experienced men In the army, much to
the general desire Of the officers and TO
army efficiency.

Ornament.

Unless water is turned on In the memorial
fountain at the intersection of Seventeenth
street and Capitol avenue. in the rear of

moved and sent to some other city more
appreciative. This is the burden Of a letter
from the secretary of the National Humane
alliance. donors OF the fountain, who has
been Informed that there has never been
any water in it since it was set up over a
year, ago except what rained In.
Councilmen McGovern and Bridges spent
Tuesday morning looking the matter up,
but when they ran against members of the
Water board they were told to keep their
hands off, that it was none of their affair
and that the board will take some action
Wednesday evening about getting water
into the fountain.
The Omaha Water company claims TO
have no contract for supplying the me-
mortal fountain or the six fountains given
the city by Mrs. Carter with water. The
city engineering department has tried to
get the company TO turn water on, but this
It has refused to do. Now the Water board
agrees to take the matter up. and il it
fails to do anything the council committee
promises to get some action in the council
and keep the fountain in Omaha by get

Rather than order ~ready-made apparatus,
which is expensive, the committee recon-
mended that homemade apparatus be pro-

less than il could be bought. This will in

pied prominent places just back OF the at

The portion Of the court room outside the

cleared while Mrs. Pratt related q part OF
her story. Judge Kennedy said he had no
authority to hold any part Of the hearing
in secret and t~hereupon Mr.. Bronze re-
quested that a continuance be taken until

fer a secret hearing he complied with a re-
quest that the letters alleged to have been

General Court-Martial of MAJOR
Charles p. GeOrG f.
New On.

The general court-martiat Of Major
Charles p. George (retired), u. S. A.. in
charge Of the regular army recruiting sta
ton at Des Moines. began at Fort Des
Moines Monday.
While the charges and specifications
against Major George have not been made
public, It appears hat they relate to ir-
regularity In his transportation accounts in
visiting the different recruiting substations
under his jurisdiction in the vicinity OF Des
Moines and throughout Iowa. The rules OF
the military department relating to trans
portation require that the officers In visit
ing different posts and stations while on
the public service must travel by the
shortest direct routes and return to their
respective stations by the same routes.
Major George has several recruiting sub
stations under his supervision and 1t is
alleged that in visiting these stations he
did not take the most direct routes nor
return to his main station at Des Moines,
but visited several OF the stations before
returning, thus adding materially to the
cost Of transportation, which is alleged to
be in violation Of his instructions.

that he had not inquired into my private

He said their relations had been broken

The financial arrangements made before
the marriage we're gone into at some
length. Mrs. Pratt said the colonel had
offered to give her $4,000 and an income
Of 5000 a year instead Of the usual vife's
share Of his estate. saying It was not fair
for her to have the usual wlfe's interest
in his estate. She said she did not consider
it fair either and consented to the ar
rangement.
Continuing the inquiry, Mr.. Bronze asked
her about the representations made to hsr
by Colonel Pratt before the marriage as to
his wealth.
He said he was a rich man. she replied.

What other conversation did you have
with him about his property?' Mr.. Bronze
asked.
Before we were married 1 said to him:

Denies Her Money

Mrs. Pratt said for four or five months
after their marriage Colonel Pratt gave
her no money except $40 or SIS he gave her
while they were on their wedding trip to
Alaska. In October she demanded that he
give her 500 a month for her children az
he had promised ard for q year she re-
eelved that amount she said she paid
for a number Of articles used in the house
hold out Of her wi pocket and spent N,Ao
to $500 for furniture for theit new home.
1T did this" she said, because Colonel
Pratt said he was willing to put $4,000 into
the house and at that time we thought
1t would cost $4,000, 80 l was willing to
contribute some OF my own money"
Some of the furniture she bought in Chi
caeo and in answer to a Question as to
how she happened to go there to do her
shopping she said:
Just before the marriage Colonel Pratt
said he was not satisfied with the trousseau
/ had prepared. which was a modest one
and he introduced me to Marshall Field
and told me to buy some things there to
supplementary trousseau. / bought four
dresses and some hats"
Mrs. Pratt said she never knew what bust
ness Colonel Pratt was in.
ST knew he had a farm and invested on
the Board Of Trade for a part Of his In

was a ranchman."
1t this point the attorneys made a request
for a secret hearing and on It's denial by the
