SHERIFF
AFTER THE
ROBBERS
DETECTIVES THINK THEY WILL
PUT UP BATTLE TO THE DEATH
IF CORNERED-BUT THEY
MAY GET AWAY ALL RIGHT.

Martinez, CAL, April 1s.--Re-
ports from the sheriff's posse pursu-
ing the train robbers who stole four
sacks Of registered mail from the
China Japan fast mail of the South
ern Pacific road Saturday evening, in
dicate that the bandits have gone in
to hiding I'm the hills back of Pinole.
Sheriff Veale's posse, in charge Of
Deputy Sheriff John Birmingham,
had traced the robbers as far as the
headwaters of Pinole creek at the
time he reported here today.
Posses are out from Oakland and
Berkeley to attempt to head of the
bandits from escaping into the inte-
rior or Contra Costa county, and
eluding pursuit.
Two railroad detectives are with
Birmingham's posse. One of the de-
tectives today expressed the belief
that the robbers will fight to the
death when cornered, or will success
fully distance their pursuers and es-
cape scot free. He declared that he
did not believe they would surrender.

THEY GROW HAIR
Certain Ingredients If Properly
Combined, Stimulate Human
Hair Growth.

Resorcin is one of the most effec-
tive germ destroyers ever discov-
cred. Beta-naphthol is a most pow
erful, yet absolutely safe germicide
and antiseptic, which prevents de-
velopment of germ matter, and
creates a clean, healthy condition.
Pilocarpine, although not a color
ing matter or dye, is an ingredient
well established for its power to re-
store natural color to human hair.
Borax, because of its well-defined
softening and cleansing properties,
is most useful in the treatment of
scalp and hair diseases. Glycerine
acts as a stimulant to the hair bulbs,
and has a soothing, healing and
nourishing influence. Alcohol is in
dispensable in medicine because of
it's antiseptic, stimulating and pre-
servative qualities.
Rexall Y93" Hair Tonic is chiefly
composed of these ingredients,
which are compounded in a peculiar
form, and we believe it is the most
effective remedy known to medical
science for scalp and hair troubles
generally. We personally guarantee
it to eradicate dandruff and scalp
irritations and to grow hair, even
though the scalp in spots is bare of
hair, providing of course there is
life and vitality remaining in the
hair roots.
We want every one troubled with
scalp disease, dandruff or loss of
hair to try Rexall "93" HairTonic.
If it does not remove dandruff and
promote growth of hair to the sat
isfaction of the user, we will with
out question or bubble return every
cent paid us for it. This guarantee
is printed on every package. 1t has
effected most satisfactory results in
93 out of 100 cases where put to a
practical test.
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is entire
ly unlike and in every particular
different frIm anything else we
know of for the purpose for which
it is recommended. We urge you
to try it at our entire risk. Ger
tainly we could offer no better guar
antee. Two sizes, so cents and
$1.OO. Sold in Salem only at our
store.-J. c. Perry, Druggist.

GIVE YOUR STOM-
ACH A CHANCE
To Furnish the System the Neces-
sary Fluids to Drive Dyspepsia
from the Stomach.
A Trial Package Free.

You should give to your stomach
the chemicals it needs to restore
tone, vigor and health to the gastric
fluids.
Food contains all these ingredi-
ents so necessary, and when the
stomach is in a normal condition it
separates these ingredients as It
should and manufactures it's own di-
gestive agents, but when it is sick
and sore, filled with acids and aka
lies that irritate everything they
come in contact with, it does not get
at the food as it should and cannot
make it's own juices correctly.
Science has proven just what is
most necessary to the stomach to
produce the correct gastric fluids
and to make of digestion natural
ly pleasant duty.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are so
made as to give the stomach the
highest chemical properties to aid
digestion. These tablets are made
up from pure fruit and vegetable
essences, and this is the formula:
Hydrastis, Golden Seal, Lactose,
Nux, Aseptic Pepsin (the highest di-
gestive known), and Jamaica Gin
ger. Its preparation peculiarly pre-
serves the full strength of these in
gradients, so that they go into the
stomach strong and capable of di-
gesting food of any character. Forty
thousand physicians use and pre-
scribe them. Ask your doctor his
opinion of the formula above.
Every druggist sells them, price so
cents per box, or send us your name
and address and we will send you a
trial package by mail free. Address

tie put me on my feet and 1 re-

Rheumatism.

More than ten out of every ten
cases of rheumatism are simply
rheumatism of the muscles, due to
cold or damp, or chronic rheuma-
tism. In such cases no internal
treatment is required. The free ap-
plication of Chamberlain's Liniment
is all that is needed, and it is cer'
tain to give quick relief. Give it a
trial and see for yourself how quick
ly it relieves the pain and soreness.
The medicines usually given inter-
nally for rheumatism are poisonous
or very strong medicines. They are
worse than useless in cases OF
chronic and muscular rheumatism.

UNITED PRESS LEASED w1nn.l

Saltwater, Mimi, April 1S.-Tha
gates of the state penitentiary
swung wide today and John Carter,
a prison poet and devotee of music,
walked forth a free man after hav-
ing spent five years behind the bars.
After considering his case, the state
pardon board decided on Saturday to
pardon Carter because of the merit
of his writings. 1t was his poems in
literary periodicals like the Cen
tury magazine that attracted the at
tention of literary men to his case
and brought influence to bear to Sc
cure his pardon.
Carter, an Englishman, whose
real name he has declined to give,
was elected from a freight train at
Karlstad, Mimi, while beating his
way to Minneapolis. Desperate
from hunger, he broke into the rail-
station and stole $24 belonging to
the telegraph operator. He was
tried and sentenced to 10 years at
Saltwater.
