No Trouble to Have
Beautiful Hair
From the Chicago Inter ocean,.

(From the Chicago Inter ocean,
A well known New York society Wo-
man, renowned for the exquisite lowell
ness of her hair. is reported to have
said: Il attribute the abundance and
gIossiness of my hair to the fact that
my hairdresser never uses water on my
head She uses only a dry shampoo,
sitting it evenly over my head and then
brushing it oroughly-brushing it I'M
til all the powder is removed.
she says wetting takes the life and
color out of the hair and leaves it dull
and brittle. In reply to my inquiry she
told me she made the shampoo herself
simply mixing 4 ounces of therox with
ounces of powdered orris root. She
explains that the orris root cleanses,
while the therox keeps the hair light
and fluffy and retains its natural color.

ATWATER IS DEAD.
The Man Who Kept Record of Deaths
at AnderSonvilIe.

Meridian, Conn.,, Nov. ga mes
sage from San Francisco to Francis
Atwater, a newspaper publisher of this
city, today brought word of the death
of his brother, Dorance Atwater, wide
ly known as the man who made the
secret record of the deaths of federal
prisoners in the Confederate military
prison at AnderSonville
Mr.. Atwater, born in this state, at
the age of 6 enlisted for the war with
the First squadron Connecticut cavalry
and later served with Harris light cav
airy of New York. He was taken pris-
oner in February, 1864, and sent to
Andersonville prison, where he was de-
tailed as clerk to make record for
the prison of the deaths among the
federal prisoners. SuspectinE that the
list as compiled by him was not be-
ing sent to the government Mr.. At
water made a duplicate of the list
given the prison authorities, keeping 1t
from their knowledge.
His list contained some $4,000
names. When, in 1866, he was sent
to the parole camp at Annapolis, he
carried this list with him. secreted in
the lining of his coat. The question
of the ownership of the list caused
considerable litigation but recently rec
ognition of his services was given Mr..
Atwater by the government He leaves

him, was a princess in the island of

Topeka Jewish Society Passes Resolu-
lions of Respect.

The Jewish Progressive society has
passed the following resolution as an
expression of grief over the death of
Count Tolstoi:
Whereas, in the death of Count
Tolstoi, the advocates of mi1itarism
tyranny and oppression have been
freed from their strongest foe, and
the poor have lost their best friend.
And, whereas, millions of people in
different countries of the world have
read with pleasure and profit the writ
ings of the greatest man Russia has
produced in a century. And, whereas,
Tolstoi stood for real peace, and not a
fake peace, as represented by the
peace congress, as witnessed by the
last peace congress refusing to hear
read a paper by Tolstoi, which meant
the senseless expenditures of billions
of dollars for armies and navies must
cease, and the disbandonment of arm
les instead of increasing them, as is
done at present. Therefore be it re-
solved:
THAT we join the>millions of those
in other countries who admire the
great Russian philosopher in express
ing our sincere sorrow at the great
loss that the cause of humanity has
sustained by his death, Be it further
resolved:
THAT copies of these resolutions
should be given to the press and for
warded to his wife and family"

GIVE US LIGHT, MORE LIGHT.
Topeka's Great White Way May Yet
Become Reality.

Thursday morning the lighting COM
mittee of the Commercial club will at
tend the meeting of the board of city
commissioners in a body to discuss the
great white way proposition, and as
certain in just what way the city is
willing to aid in making it possible to
have Kansas avenue a blaze of light at
night.
Robert Stone reported this noon at
a meeting of the committee that there is
no legal way of making property own
ers along the avenue pay for the in
stallation of lighting system and it's
maintenance without a specific act on
the part of the Legislature authorizing
the city to tax the property owners.
The city. however, he maintained, can
legally pay for the entire installation,
and the cost of running the system. It
was proposed that to start out with it
might be advisable to run the white
way" from Fourth to Tenth streets only.
The idea was that if the arrangement
proved successful there would be a de-
sire on the part of the property own
ers further out on the avenue in each
direction to work for an extension.

THE ARTIST DIDN'T COME
Pierre Antique More or Less of
ssEaIse Alarm

81 don't believe there is any more
important part in advertising than
business correspondence" said E. w.
Rankin, who spoke before the topeka
Advertising club this noon in the place
of Pierre Antique, the Kansas CITY
artist who found at the last minute
he would be unable to attend the meet
ing.
IF any part of an advertising cam
paign is neglected" continued the
speaker. lit is likely to be the corre5
spondence, but it is a vital part and
should be given due consideration.
When a man writes a letter it is neces-
sarily doing good, bad, or Indifferent
advertising.
1T would be natural to assume that
l would say that space in the neWspa-
pers is the most important thing in
connection with advertising. 1 won't
say that because it would hardly be
right to say that one feature of the adj
vertising is more important than an
other.
tiser often throws away the results
which an advertisement should have
,, produced. I wonder if we realize the
opportunity which exists in the use of
the United States mails? A great re-
sponsibility rests with a man in re-
spect to his correspondence KnoWl-
edge of craftsmanship should be en-
bodied in a business letter.
THE opportunity to do business by
means of a letter is going to grow in
this country. 1 believe that almost any
merchant in this town could use adj
vertising letters to advantage. The
people do read them.
THE competition of the mail order
houses with the retail merchants is
going to increase. Directing to mail
order houses will do no more good than
Directing to the fact that water flows

thing to have the carriage of pack

TT will be to the detriment of GER
tain retail merchants, but the retail
merchant who can't compete with the
mail order houses should be put out of
business, and made to get out and
produce something. We all know that
too many middlemen increase the price
of commodities.

good-it is advantageous to the general
public"
The speaker then mentioned the
necessity of having business letters
dramatically correct He concluded his
address by reading some examples Of
what he considered good craftsmanship
in business correspondence.

FOR CONCRETE CURB.
City Engineer Fulton Would Improve
Kansas Avenue.

To curb and gutter Kansas avenue
from Fifth street to Tenth avenue
with standard concrete, is the latest
plan originated by W. S. Fulton, city
engineer. Mr.. Fulton says that the
condition of the curbing and gutter
ing along this main Topeka thorough
fare is a disgrace to the city and he
is right about it and proposes the i'm
provement for next spring.
Il am sure that the tax payers and
property owners would not object to
a complete recurbing and reguttering
of this street" said Mr.. Fulton this
afternoon AT this time the curbs
are not uniform, some of them are
broken and cracked and practically
useless. The cutters are of cobble
stone and they hold trash and stale
water, making them unsanitary. 1t
would improve the looks of Kansas
avenue 100 per cent to make this i'm
prOVement."
What is your scheme?" Mr.. Full
ton was asked.
Il would suggest that the property
owners get up a petition and send it
to the city commissioners. A ma
jority of their number would guaran-
tee this work.
And when this work was done
am sure that the property owners
would take up the matter OF building
new sidewalks. Some of the side
walks along this street are in very
bad shape and it will be necessary for
the city to condemn a bunch of them

BONE DECLARES WAR.
Says Topeka PeddIers Must Not Give
Short Weights.

Roy L. Bone, city commissioner, has
declared war on Topeka peddlers who
give short weights. He says that any
man caught delivering goods under
weight will not only go before Judge
Ur1ny of the police court, but he will
have his license taken away from him
by the city authorities.
I'VE have been having considerable
trouble of this kind said Mr.. Bone.
1.-THE other day Mrs. J. E. Hazen, Ills
Grand avenue, bought what she
thought to be four bushels of potatoes
and when measured there were but
three bushels. We captured the ped
dIer and fined him-and now we will
take away his license. This is the only
way to rid the city of these kind OF
men"
And Mr.. Bone meant 1t. too, because
he said he did.

CONFER IN SECRET.
Mexican Officials Are Worried About
Lower California.

San Diego, Cal, Nov. 29.-Secret con-
ferences between Lieutenant Governor
Joe La Rogue of Lower California and
Senior Lozano, Mexican consul in Los
Angeles, have been held in San Diego
within the last day or two and this in
connection with the circulation of
Mexico revolutionary journal in San
Diego and Tia Juana and the presence
of scores of strange and apparently
wealthy MeXicanS in various hotels is
believed to indicate trouble with MeXi-
can officers in Lower California. So far
there has been no hint in La Paz or
Ensenada or any of the villages of
Lower California of trouble, but the
border line is being closely watched.
The San Diego police have rounded
up more than a score of Mexican, al
legged suspected characters, and when
searched every one of them was armed.
Travellers returning from the west
coast of Mexico state that at Mazatlan
and Guaymas troops were modified. as
well as at Culican, capital of SinaIoa
and Hermosillo, capital of Sonora.
All Quiet in SinalOa.

can, Sinaloa, to the Herald says that eV-
erything is absolutely quiet throughout

an American, recently at Badieraguato,
Sinaloa, have been arrested and SEN
fenced to be hanged next week.

STOOD UP FOR TEDDY.
Congressman Cocks of Oyster Bay Dis
t-ict Who Was Defeated Is Here.

Congressman William w. Cocks of
Oyster Bay. n. Y, and a former Kan
sas man, has been in Shawnee and
Wabaunsee counties looking after a
string of fine horses which he has
been grazing on Kansas blue STEM
Congressman Cocks was defeated for
reelection this month by Martin Lit
Teton. a famous lawyer, who bitterly
opposed the Roosevelt policies advo-
Gated in the New York campaign.
A number of years ago Cocks lived
in Kansas and owned a big farm in
Wabaunsee county near Maple HILL
He was a neighbor of J. n. Dolley,
now bank commissioner, and mixed
more or less in the political affairs of
Kansas, but did not hold office in this
state. When Cocks went to New York,
he naturally began to hold offices and
two years ago was sent to congress to
represent the district which includes
OYSTER Bay, Theodore RooseVelt's
home, and also a district including
three wards of New York city. He
made q good record in Washington
and vas a candidate for reelection
this year.
In the race for the office Congress-
man Cocks was opposed by Mr.. Little
ton who was an attorney in the Harry
X Thaw trials. Littleton made scath-
ing speeches against Roosevelt and his
policies. Cocks defended them. Lit
Teton won.
Topeka, Cocks said:
I think my defeat was due largely
to the increased cost of living and not
so much to any Roosevelt issues. One
ward in New York, which l had car
ried by 1000 two years ago, went
against me this year by $500. There
was not the least uncertainty about
Littleton's election
Shortly after going to Oyster Bay,
Cocks was elected road OVerseer. TIL en-
he was sent to the lower house of the
state legislature. A few years later his
district elected him to the state senate.
Two years ago he was the party nomi-
nee for congressman.
A few years ago Cocks sold his farm
near Maple Hill. Since that time the
half of it for more money than Cocks
received for the entire tract.
Cocks loves fine horses and always
keeps a big string of them. He is
quite wealthy and says he finds much
comfort in owning a bunch of fancy
horsefesh. He keeps a string of thor
oughbred animals on the old farm in
Wabaunsee county and came to Kan
sas this fall to look at the animals.
Next spring" said Cocks, Ct am
going to take those mares to Oyster
Bay and they will certainly create a
sensation. It will show the east just
what Kansas grass can really do in
producing high grade animals"
While in Topeka Cocks said he was
sorry he had not held to his Wabaun-
good Investment said the New York
congressman, "and I don't know but
that I may buy another farm here
some day.

Try This When
Your Hair Is Dusty
CFrom the New York Herald.)

CFrom the New York Herald.)
when the hair is dusty and dull,
and you want to clean it quickly, just
sprinkle through it a little dry sham
poo powder made by mixing four
ounces of orris root with four ounces
of therox.
'sThen brush the hair thoroughly
and not only will it be clean, but it
will have rich and glossy lustre that
can be given in no other way So
little time is required for this dry
shampoo that it can be done profitably
whenever the hair is dressed.
seTherox is excellent for the scalp
and gives the hair new life and vigor.
The regular use of this mixture
beie.Ftens the natural color while
washing the hair with water too often
causes it to lose color and become dull
and brittle"
