men are arriving on every train and a big
meeting is in prospect. Merchants and citi-
zens have not forgotten the Omaha visit in

Questions of direct concern to the sheen
raisers of the United States, especially NJ
the western range stages, will arise at tho
three days convention of the National
Wool Growers association, which will he
gin here at 8 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
The storage warehouse plan, which contem-
plates that the bulk of the wool cron he
placed in the hands of a cooperative sell

the stored product, will be the principal
subject at issue.
Arrangements have been made to lease a
warehouse in Chicago or Omaha as soon
as the required 100000 pounds of wool is
guaranteed.

GLADNESS FOR BALD HEADS
False Evidence OF Seeming Old Age
Can Be Banished.
GRAY HAIR YIELDS TO Q-BAN,
Interested in DR.. Motifs Southern
Discovery which Il the National
Leader in Sure Helps to
Hair Culture.

If there was any restorative on earth
which would grow a new crop of hair on
a head in which the capillary cells are
closed and the roots dead, John d. Rookie
Teller would doubtless have found out all
about il long ago. Real hair always has
the call over a wig. Dr.. Mott in his
Q-ban Hair Restorer went further in re-
search and has attained greater success
in preventing the spread OF badness than
any one who ever prosecuted scientific
studies along that line. He found that
10 per cent of baldness can never be
cured, but there is always hope for the
other 80 per cent. 1t Is among this big
class-those bothered with dandruff, Sc
borrheal eczema, cracking. splitting, and
falling hair-that DR.. Mott is looked upon
as one Of the greatest philanthropIsts of
the age.
This Q-ban Hair Restorer possesses the
marvellous power of restoring to old, gray
and faded hair the actual color and lux
urant gloss Of youth. BY its use one
looking prematurely old can Danish the
false evidence of seemingly old age.
The Hessig- Ellis Drug Co. of Memphis,
Tenn, has secured the right TO all the
standard DIR. Mott formulas. These Ten
nesseans in their wide-awake way OF
spreading the news OF benefits which the
use OF the Hair Restorer brings to users,
nave made a really wonderful offer.
DR.. Motifs Q-ban Hair Restorer can be
had at Myers-Dillon Drug Co. drug store.
Ask them how to get one bottle free. and
II a full course of three bottles does not
bring about guaranteed results-gray to
natural color-you can get all your money

HEPBURN CASE MAY BE DROPPED
Colonel Does Not Want the once on a
Technicality.


CRESTON, Ia, Jan. H.-(Special.)-A a
meeting of Eighth district republicans held
here yesterday for the purpose of hearing
the report of a subcommitte appointed at
a previous meeting to investigate the pro-
posed contest for congressman in this dis
trict it developed that the committee had
not found as much to encourage them as
had been expected and some things were
at least a little disconcerting. Still the
committee feels that If Colonel Hepburn is
willing for the contest to proceed he would
be victorious. But Colonel Hepburn made
il very plain to his friends in the district
that under no circumstances would he per-
nit the contest to go on II 1t were to hinge
on technicalities He wanted a fair re-
count, believing that If an error were made
In the first count 1t was because Of a diff
ference in judgment as to what constituted
a party ballot rather than any intimation
Of fraud. The committee decided to send
its findings to him for inspection before
proceeding, though to protect his interests
In the meantime notice of the contest was
filed. But there is a possibility that the
contest may be dropped. Colonel Hepburn
has been much opposed to 1t from the first
and it was only at the strong insistence of
his friends in the district that he consented.

Tests Being Made to See where Gas
Comes from.
The Independent Telephone company had
a number Of men at work yesterday re-
pairing the damage done by the explosion
in the cable conduit Tuesday. New covers
are being placed over the manholes and
vent holes provided. so as to prevent as
far as possible another accumulation of
gas in the conduits,
Manager English of the Citizens Gas &
Electric company had his men make a
number of tests yesterday along the line
of the manholes but they were unable to
locate any leak in the gas mains, although
the smell of gas was still very noticeable
at the manholes. The tests. Mr.. English
stated. would be continued until the leak,
II any leak exists, is found, when the
break will be speedily repaired.
1T was fortunate for Mr.. Laubach that
the manhole covers gave way when they
did" said City Engineer Btnyre yester-
day. IF they had not Manager Laubach
would probably have been blown clear
through the exchange building. He is very
fortunate in escaping without being seri-
ously injured"
Mr., Etnyre is of the opinion that the
explosion was caused by Manager Lau-
bach of the Independent company going
into the tunnel leading to the conduit with
a lighted lamp to seek the cause of the
strong smell of gas coming into the ex-
change building from the conduit.
Mayor Maloney yesterday had notice
served on the Independent Telephone COM
pany that 1t would be expected to raise
the manhole covers at least once a day for
several lays to come, in order to clear the
conduits of any gas which may yet re-
main in them and thus prevent another
explosion which might not terminate so
fortunately as the one Tuesday did.

would not wonder at a half-heartedness

food and enjoyment to a dyspeptic,
coupled with a morose. moody belief and
knowledge that such a cali is mockery and

digestive system. including mouth. throat
and alimentary canal, embracing as II
