What Every Womanly
Woman Wants

One of the fondest desires of mil
lions of women is to have beautiful
hair.
This desire can be gratified without
the slightest risk for druggists ev-
erywhere, and G. R. Fogg sells a hair
tonic called Partisan Sage for so
cents, that will turn dull lifeless, un
attractive hair into lustrous and at
tractive hair in two weeks, or mon
ey back.
Put the name on your shopping list
right now, and be sure and get the
genuine. Every package has the girl
with the Auburn hair upon 1t.
Since it's introduction in America,
Partisan Sage has won unstinted
praise from women of refinement who
have learned what delightful and
refreshing hair tonic and dressing
Partisan Sage is.
Just because the makers are abso-
lutely certain that Partisan Sage is
the only preparation that kills the
pernicious dandruff microbes, they
are willing to guarantee it to Danish
dandruff, stop falling hair and itching
scalp, or money. back. owl

Rawn'S Death
Caused by Shot
Fired by Himself
COroner's Jury Finds Railroad Presi-
dent Was Killed by Bullet from
His Own Gun.

CHICAGO, July 29.-The coroner's jury
impaneled to inquire into the death Of Ira
G Rawn. late president OF the Monon rail-
road returned an open verdict at o'clock
this morning, but found that he died from
shot fired from his own weapon by his
owa hand.
The verdict IL as follows:
I'VE, the Jurors, sworn on oath to Inquire
into the death Of Ira @. Rawn at his home
in Winnetka on July 20 find that he came
to his death at 1:2O o'clock on the morning
of July 20 from a shot and hemorrhage
caused by a bullet from his own revolver
fired by his own hand. but whether this
was accidental or with suicidal intent this
jury Is unable to determine. except that
the location OF the wound and the type Of
revolver render the accident theory less
probable"
The verdict was 10 worded as TO show
that Mr.. Rawn was believed by the jurors
- have been responsible for his own death,
but the GusTtion of suicide or accident was
left TO be fought out by the family and
the Insurance companies 1t took several
hours dellberation to reach finding. One
Of the chief points involved in the long
discussion was how to word the document
in such manner not to deprive Rawn's s
family of any legal rights the members
might have under the $4,000 OF accident
policies left by him.
Two OF the six Jurors held out for q
long time for q verdict of suicide; two
others held to the accident theory. The
verdict was q compromise between these
divergent views.
| Coroner Hoffman was much disappointed
that he had boom unable to procure wit
nesses who might clear up the alleged con-
nection of Rawn with huge frauds in con
| tracts with the Illinois Central railroad
when Rawn was vice president of tha
road Representatives Of the railroad de-
clined to testify and put the refusal OF
the ground that to give information woult

WOODMEN HAVE BIG WEALTH
Executive Council Counts Funds in

BONDS WORTH ELEVEN MILLIONS
Negotiations Are still GOins On for

Members of the executive council OF the
Woodmen OF the World felt highly wealthy
all day Friday. The council visited the
vaults of the First National bank to count
up and check over securities kept on de-
posit there.
The Woodmen have $11,OOO0OO worth Of
bonds In the vaults Of the First National,
20 per cent Of which is in government bonds
and the rest In state, county and municipal
securities OF the same sort.
The executive council will remain In ses-
sion until Monday, but is not likely to take
any action with respect to the new build
ing Negotiations with the Milton Rogers
company are still going on. but no particu-
lar prospect Of an agreement has been
reached with respect to cancellation of the
lease.
II Is unlikely that any building contract
will be let for some months, but some
oompany may be given a contract to wreck
the building now occupied by the Union
Quitting company before october l. Wneh
the Union company vacates.
Between now and January 1 possession
Of the whole corner may be secured by
the Woodmen and in that event the con-
tract for the whole building will be let as
a/whole. If not. then the plan announced
some time ago will be adhered to and a
building put up on the east part OF the

Agreements which the Woodmen have
made call for work of construction to be-
gin January / and work of demolition By

LoNDL-,, July 29.-The conferees OF
the two dominant parties which are try
ing to compose the constitutional dit-
ferences OF the House of Lords and the
House of Commons already have sue
ceeded in bridging several CULTS that
have sperated- them, and statement
made by Premier Asquith in the lower
chamber this afternoon indicates that the
outlook for a compromise is more hope
full, but little of an official character is
likely to be heard regarding the nego-
tiations until Parliament re-assembles,
November Is.
Mr.. Asquith. after stating that the
conferees in the COURSE of twelve meet
ings had surveyed the field of contro-
versy carefully, said
"The result is that our discussions
made such progress-although we have
not so far reached an agrement--as to
render 1t, in the opinion of all Of us, not
only desirable but necessary that they
should continue, in fact 1 may go further
We would think 1t wrong at this stage
to break them off"
The demier added that If further de.
! liberation showed no prospects of an
agreement that could be announced ir
parliament at the present session thu
conference would be closed.
