SAGE FOR OAR RKENING THE
HAIR.

There is nothing new about The idea OF
using sage for restoring the color OF the
hair. Our great-grandmothers kept their
locks soft, dark and glossy by using a
sage tea Whenever their hair fen out
or took on a dull, faded or streaked ap-
pearance, they made brew Of sage
leaves and applied it to their hair with
wonderfully beneficial effect. Nowadays
we don't have to resort TO the old-time,
tiresome method Of gathering the herbs
and making the brew. This is done by
skillful chemists better than we could do
it ourselves, and all we have to do is to
call for the ready made product. Wyeth's

Kin Charge That Meyers, Who
Died at RedIandS, Was
of UnSound Mind
Especial to The Herald)

SAN BERNARDINO, Nov. 2).-Un-
satisfied with the terms of their faith
er's will, which provides that the es-
tate valued at $S,5OO,OOO shall be held
in trust for rs years, the children of
the late George M. Meyers, million
aire tobacco manufacturer of st. Louis
who died several months ago at Red
lands, today filed a contest in the su-
perior court, alleging that their faith
er was of unsound mind when he made
his will.
Meyers left his entire estate to his
three children, George Meyers Coppel,
Mildred May Meyers and Bob Meyers
Babcock, and his grandchild, George
Meyers Church.
Immediately following the filing of
the objection a special administrator
was appointed on petition of the heirs
at-law by Judge Oster. This special
administrator is John S. Cravens, SON.
in-law of the late millionaire, who
was named in the will as executor and
one of the two trustees of the estate.
The petition for special letters states
that at the time of Meyers death he
was engaged in building a structure
in Kansas City to cost $4,000. This
is one of the main reasons urged for
the appointing of a special administra-
tor together with the fling of the no
tice of contest which promises to tie
up the estate for many months.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. PA storm

public service corporations, carried by
a vote of "a to 20. On motion of Cum

OIL MAN DENIES
BURR CONNECTION

Eastern reports that the Evans or
California Consolidated Oil companies
Of Southern California are affiliated
with the Burr companies in New York
are denied by H. B. Guthrey, SOL Citi-
zens National Bank building, president
Of the Yellowstone Oil company. While
Mr.. Guthrey is not connected directly
with the Evans interests, he states that
hv+1s in position to know of the COM
pany's affairs and that there should
be no doubt as to its integrity.
Mr.. Guthrey received a number of
kilograms yesterday from New York
from persons seeking information. In
an interview last night he said:
"I hope the people of California are
not confusing the Evans oil companies
with Burr interests of New York, as
some of the eastern people seem to be
doing. Why there should be any doubt
or suspicion to warrant investigation
by the government in the operations of
the California company is more than l
can see.
at really is to be regretted that such
a report should be started about COM
pany headed by such men as r. d.
Evans, Col Timothy Spellacy and j.
d. Thompson. The last two mentioned
are pioneers in the oil business of the
state ana are IOJcHlOSI III InduCldl anu

1T is a mystery to me how these men
or their property, which represents
millions, could be mistrusted. The
Premier Oil company, which is in
cluded in the Consolidated, is headed
by J. D. Thompson and Timothy Spell
lacy. The property is valued at ST.
900 and at present 10000 barrels OF
oil are being produced a month.
1.-THE Mascot company, in the Mid
way field, produces 10000 barrels of oil
a month and is valued at $2,000000 and
is now selling easily at from $3.50 to 81

trolling stock in the Yellowstone COM
pany, with a production of 10000 bar
rels a month in the Kern River field.
1t also has $50 acres in the Sunset Mid
way district, which is now being de-
veloped, and also forty-tive in the Nc
Kittrick field, upon which number of
wells are in operation.

Montana Man Comes to Aid of Al

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 23.-John Ed
gerton of Helena, Mont, a fraternity
brother of DR.. B. c. Hyde, convicted of
the murder of Col Thomas H. Swope,
millionaire and phlianthropist, has
come to the doctors aid. In a letter
received here Edgerton says he sent
Hyde two pounds of cyanide in July,
1898, after a casual meeting with the
physician on board train in Kansas.
This statement may bridge what was
claimed to be the weakest point in
Hyde's defense.
Hyde testified he found cyanide of
potassium useful in killing bugs. He
said he could not remember where he
got it.
Hyde is under life sentence for the
murder of Col. Swope and has ap
pealed to the supreme court.
