WOMAN SLAIN AND
 ROBBED OF $S,OOo
MRS. JOHN WINkELMAN BEATEN
 TO DEATH IN FAYETTEVILLE.
BODY SECRETED IN CLOSET
Reward by Family and Authorities Aggregates $4,3oo, and Police Have Issued Circular De-
 scribing Suspects.

Fayetteville.-The discovery that between $S,000 and $10,000 was se- cured from the body of Mrs. John Winkelman, who was murdered at her home here, the belief of local off cers that stranger who has been rooming at the Winkelman home for the past two weeks is connected with the murder of Mrs. Winkelman, and the offering of S4,300 reward for the capture and conviction of the mur- derer and return Of the S10,000, were new features in the situation follow ing the killing of the aged woman.
 The victim was an eccentric Ger man woman, 62 years old, but still active and industrious.
 Mrs. Winkelman and her husband have for years conducted a restau- rant here, and she was reported to have carried fortune of sS,000 or $10,000 in her hustle, which accounts for the murder and robbery.
 When Mrs. Winkelman failed to put in an appearance at the supper hour relatives instituted search, and the body was found hidden in a closet in an outhouse. She had been attacked and beaten with piece of iron rod about a foot long. The rod was capped with a two-inch square top. She had been struck three blows on the back of her head and once on the forehead. Each of the blows caused a compound fracture of the skull Several other blows had also been delivered below the head.
 The money which caused her to be murdered was carried in belt fas- tened around her waist. The mur- derer had unbuttoned her dress and by the aid of some sharp instrument slit the pockets in the belt that con- tained the money. The belt was not removed.
 It also developed at the inquest that a stranger came to the Winkel- man home about two weeks ago and rented room. He paid for two weeks lodging in advance. He was about 9 years old and remained in his room the greater part of the time. Much of the time he spent in bed, complaining of chills. He talked very little to the other roomers at the house.
 The officers believe he was con- nected with the murder, and Sheriff J. C. Reed has issued a circular giv- ing his description The circular reads as follows:
 Mrs. Winkelman was murdered and robbed of about sS,000, consist ing of large bills ranging in amounts from $20 to 5000. The man suspect ed is about 24 years old, is five feet nine inches in height, weighs abor 130 pounds, has a light complexion, light Or reddish hair, sickly looking, slow of speech and has a southern accent. When last seen he wore blue overalls, black shirt, dark cravat and black hat His supposed accomplice is about 9 years old, light complex ion, light hair inclined to curl, weighs about 130 pounds, slender build and wore corduroy suit and top boots. Will pay $500 for arrest of murderers and will give $3,000 if toney is re- covered"
 Since the circular was ,issuea Gov ernor Donaghey has offered $500 re- ward and the citizens of Fayetteville about $500.

HOW | MADE
MY HAIR GROW
Woman with MarvellOusIy Beautiful Hair
Gives Simple Home Prescription which
She Used with Most Remarkable Results

I was greatly troubled with dandruff and
falling hair 1 tried many advertised hair
preparations and various prescriptions. but
my hair greasy, so it was impossible to
comb it or do it up properly. I think that
many Of the things 1 tried were positively
injurious, and from my own experience 1
cannot too strongly caution you against
using preparations containing wood alcohol
and other poisonous substances. I believe
they injure the roots of the hair. After my
long list of failures I finally found a simple
prescription which I used with most
markable results, and I can unhesitatingly
state that it is beyond doubt the most Won
derfuI thing for the hair 1 have ever seen.
Many of my friends have also used it and
obtained wonderful effects therefrom. 1t
not only is a powerful stimulant to the
growth of the hair and for restoring gray
hair to its natural color, but it is equally
good for removing dandruff giving the hair
life and brilliancy, etc, and for the purpose
Of keeping the scalp in first class condition.
1t also makes the hair much easier to comb
and arrange in nice form. I have friend
who used it two months and during that
time it not only stopped the falling Of his
hair and wonderfully increased its growth,
but it practically restored all Of his gray
hair to its natural color You can obtain
the ingredients for making this wonderful
preparation from almost any druggist. The
prescription is as follows:
Bay rum, o.; Menthol crystal, one-half
drachm; Lavona de Compose, o.; To-
Kalon perfume to teaspoonfuls.
Apply night and morning; rub thorough
ly into the scalp.
Go to your druggist and ask for the
eight-ounce bottle containing six ounces of
Bay Rum, also one-half drachm Of Menthol
crystal, and for a two-ounce bottle of La
vona de Compose. Mix the ingredients
yourself at your own home. Add the Men
thol crystal to the Bay Rum, and then pour
in the Lavona de Composee, and add the
To-Kalon perfume. Let it stand for one
half hour, and it is ready to use,
