MAJOR BRADY'S
EXPLANATION
LEAVES MATTER OF NEW ROAD
NOT VERY CLEAR BUT is
QUITE SATISFACTORY.

MoRGANToWN, June Z. = The
State Line and Southern Railroad
Company. incorporated few days ago
by Majors. D. Brady, B. NJ. Laughed,
Charles Morris, Fl. NJ. schrader and
R. .. Kerr, was formed for the pur.
pose Of furthering the plans Of the
Pittsburg and Lake Erie company,
owner Of fifty per cent. OF the stock
Of the Little Kanawha Syndicate, for
the building Of a line along the west
ern bank Of the MoHongahela river,
from the present terminus of the P.
and L. E. at Martin to Rivesville, in
Marion county. There has been con-
siderable speculation as to the real in.
tent and purpose Of the incorporators
Of the new company and not few
ridiculous and utterly Illogical coniec'
lures have been made. The new CON-
pany will hold its first meeting at
Fairmont on June 2Sth, 1910, for the
purpose Of organization and the trans,
action Of other important business,
This meeting will develop some mat.
ters Of interest to the public. But
when five men intimately connected
with the work of the B. and N, the
P. and L. e. and the Little Kanawha
Syndicate form a corporation to build
a railroad on property already ac.
qulred by the B, and N. or the P, and
L. q, Or the Syndicate, there should be
little cause for apprehension.

ot.way man, Charles Morris. and the

Brady was asked about the object Of
the Syndicate In forming the new
company, and several rumors that
have been given circulation were call,
ed to his attention. He replied:
"The new company, the State Line

sole purpose Of furthering the enter
prise Of the construction Of a railroad
on the western bank Of the Mononga,

j. Noble Jones Freed of Charge
of Stealing Dust and Mug
gets Worth $1,000

J. Noble Jones, president of the Mad

with Offices in the Monadnock building.
who was arrested week ago on a
warrant sworn to by L L. Rosenthal
and Jointly charged with John Me
meyer, Walter Shewan and William r
Kennedy with having stolen gold dust
and nuggets worth $1,000 from the
southern Cross mine near OrovilIe, re-
ceived word from Sheriff Chubbuk of
Butte county yesterday that the cases
against all four men had been dis
missed.
The arrest of Jones and Niemever
created quite a sensation, as both men
are well known in business circles
about the bay. Shewan and Kennedy
were miners who worked in the South
ern Cross. Niemeyer heard that the
mine was for sale, and, expecting to
make commission, asked Jones to
look into the matter He sent an en-
gineer TO look over the property and,
on the experts report, refused to pur-
chase. This was in April and Jones
and Niemeyer could not understand
why they had been arrested
In the meantime the two miners
were arrested in Reno and taken to
Oroville. The cases of Kennedy and
Shewan were called in Oroville yester-
day and the district attorney immedi-
ately moved a dismissal. The cases of
Jones and Niemeyer We're TO have been
called tomorrow, but the charges
against them were also dismissed on
motion of the prosecutor.

FALLING HAIR
You Run No Risk When You
Use This Remedy

While many people in their prime
doubt the assertion that "the hairs of
our head are numbered" yet there is
today many a man and woman fast
reaching the point where this state
ment is literally brought home to- them
If you suffer from irritation of the
scalp and from dandruff, or if your
hair is falling out. do not wait until
you reach the point where you can ac-
tually count how many hairs are left
on your head.
Most cases of badness are caused
because the roots lack proper nutri-
tion. In such cases there is a mierobe
which bores through the scalp along
the line of the hair into the root and
when it lodges there it begins to de-
stroy the fatty matter around the hair
roots. When the scalp and hair roots
are strong and healthy it is impossible
for these microbes to get in their dead
ly work.
We can promise you that, if your
hair is falling out and you have not let
it go too far, you can repair the dam
age already done by using Rexall "93'
Hair Tonic. 1t is a scientific, cleans
ing, antiseptic. germicidal preparation
that destroys microbes, stimulates good
circulation around the hair roots, pro-
notes hair nouriShment, removes dand-
ruff and restores hair health. 1t is as
pleasant to use as pure water. and it is
delicately perfumed. 1t is a real toilet
necessity.
We want you to try RexaII "93" Hair
Tonic with our promise that it will
cost you nothing unless you are per
fect1y satisfied with it's use. 1t comes
in two sizes, prices so cents and s1OO
