WHAT THE GREAT OPERATIC
ARTISTS ARE DOING.

Great artists like MeIba, Calve, ,Eames
and others, devote as much care to the
preservation of their physical beauty
as to the development of their voices.
Hair and complexion demand the
greatest care. A smoothe, vefvety and
roseate complexion in connection with
luxuriant head of hair will transform
the most commonplace looking female
into an attractive and fascinating wo-
man.
Women in professional life thorough
ly understand this fact. How often we
hear the expression, What a beautiful
head of hair. or What lovely COM
plexion," etc. Take a woman, for in
stance, of fifty years, whose hair has
become streaked with gray If she
thoroughly realized that Q-Banas Hair
Restorer would restore her hair to its
youthful beauty and abundance, what
would she not pay to become possessed
of it, and if she knew that applications
of the Restorer to the face would re-
move all pimples, blothes, etc. and inn
prove the complexion a hundred fold.
besides making her appear fifteen years
younger. would she use it? DIR. Mott
says that he never in his entire prac-
tice, failed in one single instance to re-
store gray ndIF 10 color, depending
solely upon Q-Bans Hair Restorer, and
that for diseased conditions of the
scalp. falling hair, dandruff. etc. or to
increase the growth of the hair. the
Q-Ban Hair Tonic was always to be re-
lied upon. All druggists have it for
sale Try it. If you use six bottles and
the results are not as claimed. your
druggist will refund you your money. =
Marshall Bros, 2nd and Kan. ave-,
and 5th and Kan.4ssve recommend and
sell these preparations. If you are gray
haired or your hair commencing to fade
in color. you can have the first package
for nothing. Simply call and ask for it..

Michael McDevitt, who has been en-

for many years. died suddenly at his
home at 915 Topeka avenue about 1880
o'clock Monday afternoon He was 20
years old. Heart trouble was given as
the cause of his death. He leaves one
daughter. Maggie. His wife died about
n. Cook has been keeping house for
him. He was a schoolmate of Mayor
William Green at Evansville, WiscOn-
sin. in the early sos.
He has been troubled with asthma
and was unable to work for some time.
Yesterday afternoon he was sitting up,
when he began to sway. Mrs Cook,
who was at the home, said: Don't do
that" An instant afterwards the man
started to fall back in the chair. Mrs.
Cook caught him and a moment later
he was dead.
The story of Mr.. McDevitt's life is
one of the annals of the poor but is
he constantly struggled against the
lack of an early education. Until he
was q years old he did not know how
to read or write

Green this morning, Mr.. McDevitt

more than young boy. 1t seems that he
had no relatives here, but knew a few
people who had settled on farms near
my old home at Evansville, Wis. Here
he worked on farms of his acquaint-
ances for time. 1 remember he at

At that age he had to start in a
primer. as he couldn't read or write.
However he was a hard worker and by
his own efforts he acquired a common

south Side when Judge Brockett, then
a member of the school board asked
my cousin if he knew of anv school
teacher who could take the place of
the one who had resigned on account

MS cousin was a school teacher
was then introduced to Mr. RrOckett
He told me that a competitive exam

the Friday following, and the one who
received the best grades would he en-
gagged as the teacher.

two others and was fortunate enough
to get the school. BY the way. one of
my competitors, was Mr.. Davis.

burn college. I had one wear at
Heidelburg, college, at Tifin, Ohio.
The next Monday 1 started to teach
the school. The building was a one
story frame building about where 917
North Kansas avenue is now. There
was one room and 20 pupils. Among
them was the present CONGRESSMAN
Charles Curtis. Then he was a little
fellow about six years old. When the
first reader class was called L asked
him If he could read. He replied ooh
yes, 1 can read
81 turned to a page and asked him
to read but he couldn't L asked him
if there was anything that he could
read He said yes and then turned
to page where there was a picture
of a dog. He appeared to read a few
lines about the dog. Then 1 told him
to read something else and he turned
over to a picture of a COW and seemed
to read a little. I think that he had
mem morized the lines under the pic
lures
However. I put him in a class be-
low the first reader class. BY the end
of three months he could read any
thing in that first reader. In other
studies he was also very bright. He
was a very apt pupil in every thing,
very good at facts and figures. He
was very popular too, and liked by
every one. 1 thought at that time
that he would amount to something
so am not surprised at his success

the companies arrived, but they fought
the flames back to the original start

been quenched a small hole in the

only loss. 1t was a good little piece

Since last Friday, William Mcclure,
jr., the son of VIM. MCGUIRE. of 612
West Gordon street, a laborer. has
been absent from the Grant school
where he is a pupil in the fifth grade.
This according to his father, is be-
cause he was sent home for wearing
overhalls. However, c. NJ. Morrow,
principal of the school, says that the
boys clothing was torn and dirty, and
that after school, one day last week,
he asked him to have his clothing
cleaned and repaired or to come to
school in clean clothes. Mr.. Morrow
further stated that this was not done
and finally last Wednesday he asked
the boy to go home and attend to the
matter. The boy did not return until
last Friday when he said he was go
ing to go with his father to the farm
and wished to take his books home
with him. He was allowed to do this
and has not returned to school since.

that part of the state. This settles for
all the fact that the Topeka brick
plants are not going to land the big
brick contracts this year. Topeka men
did not fare very well at the last paw
ing drawing with the city council
but. ass City Engineer Rogers once
said; IF the Topeka men wish the
contracts they must give the city the
best proposition-we are as anxious
as anyone for patronage of local
industry, but this throwing the bids
to local men is all sentiment when it
means a difference of a few thousand
dollars to the city, On account of
alleged past shortcomings it is said
that Mr.. Gilfllan is liable to 'beat"
the city on his work. This is siren
uousiv denied by the proper city Of

morning that the worst "short" con-
