MICROBES IN THE SCALP
The Latest Explanation is That Mic
robes Cause Badness.

Professor Unna Of Hamburg, Ger
many, and DR.. Sabourand OF Paris,
France, share the honar of having
discovered the hair microbe.
Badness is not caused through a
few weeks work of these hair mic
robes, but is the result Of conditions
brought about by their presence.
Badness may not occur until years
after the microbes began work, but
It is certain to come sooner or later.
The microbes cut off the blood sup
ply. They feed on the fatty matter
about the root of the hair, through
which the blood is absorbed Finally
the fatty matter Who'll" consumed

both germicidal and antiseptic; P1lo-

sss
Representative Beery started a little
movement on Monday Which may at
tract quite bit OF attention. He in
| troduced a bill looking to having the
state make specific appropriations for
improving highways at the state
farms. The state now has over 1000
acres of land in farms and of course
there are roads thru and adjacent to
these farms. The state has done some
work on these roads. especially at in
institutions where there are good
many inmates capable of work; but
now it is proposed that the state shall
not only maintain model farms, but
demonstrate how to maintain model
highways.
The bill to increase the pay Of short
hand reporters is having some diff
Guilty getting out of the hands of a
house committee, but the reporters are
confident they will get some kind of
report this week. 1t is found that
the pay of reporters varies a great
deal in the state and a few get good
wages for doing very little, and this
is being used as an argument against
any of them getting pay in accordance
with their professional services. No
bill has ever been before the legisla-
ture so we'll backed as this one.

Madison, Wis. Feb. 23.-The United
States senatorial deadlock continued
today The fifteenth joint ballot re-
suited in Stephenson receiving 49 out
of the III votes cast, lacking ten of a
necessary majority.
Senator John j. Blaine. who pre-
ferred long list of specific charges of
alleged corruption against United
States Senator Stephenson in connec-
ton with the recent primary, today ap-
peared before the legislative investi-
eating committee. AS to the first
charge that Stephenson had spent
$780, 500 before his expense account
was filed, Blaine said his informant
was E. A Edmonds. one of Stephen
sons managers. When asked as to the
$250 900 alleged to have been spent by
Stephenson, Blaine said that taking the
statement made by the Free Press,
,Stephenson's organ, as to the cost of
booming Stephenson, he figured it up
to $25OOO0 or so. He considered the
circulation of Stephenson's newspaper
containing attacks on former Assem-

Davenport, Feb. 23.-The supreme
court has granted hearing in the case
of Ed O'Connor against the Rock Is
land railroad. This means that the
whole case Is to be reviewed again by
the supreme court and it will be sew
eral months before the final outcome is
known.
The case was one of the hardest
fought personal injury suits ever tried
in the district court. OConnor sued for
$50, 900 damages for injuries received
while in the employ of the road.
After trial which lasted for nearly
two weeks, the jury awarded plaintiff
$4,000 damages. A motion for a new
trial was filed. The judge refused to
grant this but cut the verdict from
s25, 900 to $4,000. The railroad COM
pany then appealed the case to the su-
preme court, but after arguments by
the attorneys there a decision was
handed down sustaining the decision Of
