south Of the court house on the public
square, was witnessed by a. score OF
women who were passing the place. To
say that their sensibilities were
shocked is puting 1T mildly. Little boys

attracted by the scene and witnessed
the officer try nine times before bull

KILL THE DANDRUFF GERM.
Or Your Hair Will Fall Out Till Yol
Become Bald.

Modern science has discovered that
dandruff is caused by germ that digs
up the scalp in scales, as it burrows
down to the roots of the hair, where it
destroys the hairs vitality, causing
falling hair, and ultimately, badness.
After Prof. Unna, of Hamburg, Ger
many, discovered the dandruff germ, all
efforts to find remedy failed until the
great laboratory discovery was made
which resulted in Newbro's Herptcide.
1t alone of all other hair preparations
kills the dandruff germ. Without dan
druff, hair grows luxuriantly. Destroy
the cause, you remove the effect"

DR.. Plerce,6 medicines, however, form
. single and therefore striking exception
to the above rule. Their claim to the
confidence of invalids does not rest
solely upon their owners and makers
say-so or praise. Their ingredients are
matters of public knowledge, being
printed on each separate bottle-wrap-
per. Thus invalid sufferers are taken
into DR.. Pierce's full confidence. Scores
of leading medical men have written
enough to fill volumes in praise of the
curative value of the several ingredients
entering into these we'll known med
icines.
In favor of DR.. Pierce's medicines is
the frank, confding, open, honest state
ment of their full composition, giving
every ingredient in plan, English, with
out fear of successful criticism and with
confidence that the good sense of the
afflicted will lead them to appreciate
this honorable manner of contiding to
them what they are taking into their
stomachs when making use of these
medicines.
WHAT THEY CURE. People often
ask vWhat do DR.. Pierce's two leading
medicines-'Gol Medical Discovery
and Favorite Prescription cure?"
Briefly, the answer is that vGolden
Medical Discovery is a most potent al:
terative, Or blood-purifier, and tonic. or
invigorator, and acts especially favor
ably in curative way upon all the
mucous lining surfaces, as Of the nasal
passages, throat, bronchial tubes, stom-
ach, bowels and bladder curing large
percentage of catarrhal cases whether
the disease affects the nasal passages,
the throat, larynx, bronchia, stomach
Gas catarrhal dyspepsia), bowels Gas
mucous diarrhea), bladder, uterus or
other pelvic organs. Even in the chronic
or Lucrative stages of these affections,
it is generally successful in affecting
cures. In fact the uGolden Medical
Discovery" is without doubt, the most
successful constitutional remedy for all
forms of catarrhal diseases known to
modern medical science. In Chronic
Nasal Catarrh DR.. Sage's Catarrh Rem
edy fluid should be used for washing
and cleansing out the nasal passages
while taking the uDiscovery" for it's
blood cleansing and specific, healing
effects upon the mucous lining menu
branes. This combined local and gen.
eral treatment will cure very large
percentage of the worst cases of chronic
nasal catarrh, no matter of how many
years. standing they may be.
As to the vFavorite Prescription" it
is advised for the cure of one class of
diseases only-those weaknesses, de-
rangements and Irregularities peculiar
to women. 1t is powerful, yet gently
acting, invigorating tonic and nervine.

GERMAN LORDS FEAR
SOCIALIST MEASURES
Polish appropriation Bill Ratified In
Berlin, but Strong Opposition Is
Manifest by Wealthy
Land Holders
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
BERLIN, Feb 2S.-Few legislative
measures of recent years have excited
such deep interest among it's people as
the Polish appropriation bill, the prin-
ciple of which was ratified in the
Prussian house of lords yesterday, nor
has any measure produced such sharp
antagonism In the highest circles of
Germany.
1t was noticed yesterday in the
house of lords as striking circum-
stance that a number of persons hav-
ing the closest relations with Emperor
William voted against the govern
ment. These included Duke Ernst
Gunter Schleswig- Holstein, the en-
peror's brother-in-law; Prince Zu
Fuernstenberg, who holds one of the
highest positions in the emperor s
household; the duke of Trachenberg,
Prince Hatzfeldt, chief of the royal
cellars; Herr Won Wedel-Piesdorff, who
was at one time minister of the royal
house: Admiral Won Holman, eX-min-
lister of marine; Count Thiele-Winkler.
one of his majesty's favorites among
the great industrial magnates of Ger
many, and General Count Haessler,
who has been the recipient of many
marks of special favor from the en-
peror
The vote yesterday showed irregular
groupings. The strength of the oppo-
sition was with the great aristocratic
land holders who rejected the prin-
ciple of appropriation because it might
prove dangerous precedent later
should the Socialists come into power.
One of the great landlords even ex-
pressed apprehension lest the Radicals,
If these ever secured the upper hand,
would use the present bill as war
rant for dispossessing the German
owners of large estates.
The Conservative speakers yester-
day taunted the government with
passing a measure that can give sat-
isfaction only to aristocrats, inasmuch
as 1t is based on the Socialistic prin-
ciple of the supremacy of the state
over the rights of private property.
The measure now returns to the
chamber, which is expected to accept
the slight changes made by the house
of lords without encountering serious
difficulty

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-Postmas-
ter General Meyer is of the opinion
that it Is prejudicial to the welfare of
Young America" to employ him as a
special delivery messenger in the pos
tai service, and mas issued an order to
the effect that whenever a vacancy
occurs in the force of special delivery
messengers the position shall not be
filled, and that subletter carriers and
clerks shall be employed to effect spe-
cial deliveries.
He states that the messenger boys are
called upon frequently to visit low re-
sorts, and often compelled to travel
long distances late at night in lonely
outlying sections of the great cities,
failing to make deliveries at times
through fear or weariness. The object
of the order is to bring about the grad
ual discontinuance of the service OF
these juvenile messengers.
Special delivery messengers have
been employed since 1885, and at pres
emf there are 25O5 engaged at 1S9 post
Offices
In New York substitute carriers have
delivered all special delivery matter
for a number of years, and in Boston
only thirty-seven boys are employed.

have "split tricks" and that those who

lowed a meal hour.
The question of a reduction in sal
aries and a Encouragement of working

dations named by Mr.. billiard. e.. L.
