SENATOR ALDR1cH HURT

New York, Oct. 21.-With seven po-
licemen on guard to turn away news
paper men. Nelson W. Aldrich, Senator
from Rhode Island, is believed to be
lying in q critical condition It 5 Park
Avenue today. He was run down by an
automobile last night at Sixth street
and Madison Avenue, and mystery
was thrown about the case today by
the fact that all information as to the
extent of his injuries was refused.
One reporter was badly beaten when
he sought informal ion. The details Of
the accident that Senator Aldrich
suffered from were learned this morn
ing, more than twelve hours after he
had been hurt. The Senator had start
ed to Cross the street when he noticed
. car moving swiftly down upon him.
Realizing his predicament he turned
suddenly only to be confr onted by q
tsxicab which had turned into the
street. The senator, apparently dazed
by the proximity of danger, stepped
forward blindlv. AS he did so one
of the autos axles struck him and
hurled HIM against the Car. The
front step of the car caught the sen.
ator and hurled him to the ground.
The force of the blow rolled him
over several times.

MURDERER LIBERATED
by MOB Of FRIENDS

Lynchburg, Va, Oct. 21.-John
Moore, white. condemned to electro
cution ON November 25th at Rich
mond for tho murder of Frank Howl,
in Nelson county, ON May 18th. was
liberated from the Nelson county Jail
this morning about 1 o'clock by mob
of about seventy five friends.
It is not known YET what became of
the murderer, but he was carried away
by the mob, who left the Jail at Low
ingston in carriages AMI on horseback.
The mob appeared at Lovingston
without arousing the residents. John
Stevens, the death watch, who was
sleeping outside of Moore's cell, was
aroused by three men who advised
him that they had prisoner. Stevens
aroused taller Perry, who was sleeping
above the Jail. and when he opened
the outer door, the mob rushed in and
overpowered the jailer and guard at
the point of pistols.
The visitors were armed with ham.
mers and crowbare. and it was but the
work Of few minutes for them to
wrench off the locks of the two doors
that stood between Moore and liberty.
Moore was then carried out enthusi-
astically, and the mob disappeared
as quietly and as orderly as it came for
it could not have been better organized
Immediately Jailer Perry and Deputy
Sheriff Glason started in hot pursuit
Of the mob, in the hope of re.arrest-
ing Moore, but at 9 O'Clock nothing
had been heard from them.
Before entering Lovingston,a village
OF 800 people, the mob ont the only
telephone line, communicating with
the western section of tine county,
where tits evident the mob came
from. This made it easy for the mob
to secure good start on the authoriti-
ties. Telephones running to other sec.
tions of Nelson county from Lovings-
ton were undisturbed. Two deputies
pursued the: fugitives for ten miles
but tnrned back upon reaching the
country. Spurred by reward
of $500 offered by Governor Mann,
others have gone to locate Moore, but
it is dangerous project. Judge Cor
don ordered an immediate investiga-
tion but it is not thought that the au-
thorities can make any arrests. Moore
was rescued because of failure to con-
vict widow Of the dead man, jointly
indicted with him. Up to then, SEN
timent was against Moore. He was

FALLING HAIR.
You Run No Risk When You Use
 This Remedy.

 While many people in their prime
 doubt the assertion that the hairs

 hair is falling out, do not wait until you reach the point where you can actually count how many hairs are
 left on your head.
 Most cases of badness are caused
 because the roots lack proper nutri- ton. 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 anu hair roots are strong and healthy it is impossi- ble for these microbes to get in their deadly work.
 We can promise you that If your hair is falling out and you have not let 1t go too far. you can repair the damage already done by using Rex
 all "93" Hair Tonic It is a scientific, cleansing, anuiseptic germicidal prep aration that destroys microbes, stim- Hates good circulation around the hair roots, promotes hair nourishment, re. moves dandruff and restores hair health.
