pected they would finish their task
and move to another farm before night
and no provision was made for supper
for them. Chicken formed one of the
main items in the noon bill of fare,
and the hungry threshers left little of
it. During the afternoon a break oc-
Cured and delayed the work so that
the crew was forced to remain for

housewife warmed UP the remains OF
the chicken and made quantity OF
gravy with it. When the men had
gathered around the board for the ev-

the dish, flshed out the only piece Of
chicken, and blandly said: Help your

NO MORE DANDRUFF
Harper House Pharmacy Sells the
Remedy That Is Guaranteed to
Kill All Dandruff Germs.

OF course you and every intelli-
gent reader of The Argus knows that
dandruff is caused by a germ.
DR.. Sagerbund, the great French
physician, proved this beyond a
doubt.
In order to rid your scalp of filthy
dandruff you must kill the germ.
There is a hair dressing called Pa
risian Sage which is now sold in
every town in America, that Is guar
anteed to eradicate dandruff, stop
falling hair, splitting hair and
scalp itch in two weeks, or money
back.
If you have dandruff get a large
so cent bottle today and rid your
self of it. Remember that if dan
druff germs are not destroyed in
time, the hair will surely fall out
and badness will follow.
Here's proof of what Partisan
Sage has done; it will do more. 1t
is the finest hair grower and hair
dressing in the world, and people
who use it regularly will never grow
bald. Mrs. John Stoner, Evansville,
Ind, writes on June 2, 1910:
81 used Partisan Sage and found
it very successful; it removes dan
druff and gives the hair life, only
for dandruff."
Large bottles so cents at the Har-
per House pharmacy and druggists
everywhere. The girl with the
auburn hair is on every carton.

only Is minutes remained before the
curtain would rise on the performance.
Mr.. Magill volunteered to purchase
the tickets If the mayor would provide
means of rapid transportation. He
agreed, and as he left the table he was
advised by the states attorney that
he could engage taMcab at the hotel
desk
When the mayor rejoined the party
he said the cab would be in readiness
In few minutes. In short time a
Moline policeman appeared at the cafe
and beckoned to his chief.
The party was led by the mayor out
the side entrance. The Moline police
department auto patrol was in waiting,
and the members of the party climbed
in and were whisked to the theatre,
The tickets cost Mt Magill Sc. He is
wondering what the mayor paid for
the ride in the ''booby hatch" wagon.

STRIKE MAY SPREAD.
Plan to Call Out All Express Drivers
in the Country.

New York, Oct. 31.-The strike of the
express company drivers and helpers
which has brought the express bust
ness in this city to a virtual Standstill
is expected to spread today to the sta
BILE hands. Daniel J. Tobin. president
of the International Brotherhood of
Transfers now in Boston has sent word
here if necessary he will try to induce
all the express drivers in the country
to strike.
Strike breakers are expected to ar
rive from Philadelphia today. The
strikers were caught unawares in Jer-
sey City early today when a dash of
100 trucks was made and the express
matter brought to this city without
trouble No disorders were reported by
the police in the early hours Of the day.
Police Inspector Walsh today assigned
100 patro1men to go out on express
wagons. Two hundred strike breakers
from Pittsburg are quartered in Jersey
City and will be put work today.
The Brotherhood of Transfers this
morning called out between 1,5O0 and
1880 drivers and helpers employed by
the Boston Despatch, a subsidiary of the
Adams Express company, Monahan' s
express and the Manhattan Delivery
company.
The way bill clerks of the American
Express company, who have no organ
ization and no special grievances OF
their own, held a meeting this morning
and decided to go out on a sympathetic
strike this afternoon. The Adams Ex-
press company moved nine trucks this
morning
Strike sympathizers upset an ex-
press wagon on West Broadway near
Blocker street shortly before noon. Nc
one was hurt.

night on the creek banks by roasting

report from the great chief, Sitting
Bull who came many miles to encour-
age the braves and win the squaws.
The process of tatooing began and the

Crawford Thinks Grand Will Be Taxed
to Accommodate Crowds.

Manager Roy Crawford of the Grand
theater today said that the first fourteen
rows of the downstairs seats already have
been sold for both presentations of 1.-THE
Masqueraders, p" the musical comedy which
sale opened this morpine and for nearly
an hour line waited in front of the win
dow to obtain tickets.
There is no doubt said Mr.. Crawford
that the S. R. o. sign will hang out on
both nights. Every indication is for two
of the largest houses of the season and
it is probable that it will be impossible
to accommodate everyone so great is the
demand on the opening day of the sale.''

hearsals nightly and report that they are

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

! ST can not help but feel that the
Sixth district will elect a Democrat to
congress by from 1000 to, 1.500 ma
jority," said W. H. Pepperil, secretary
of the Democratic state committee. to-
day. 1.-THE fight there is between 1.
| Young, insurgent Republican, and
Frank Rockefeller, progressive Demo-
crat. Republicans who have visited
the district admit that the chances are
against Young. On the other hand,
optimistic Democrats claim the victory
by as much as $500 majority.
"The contests in other congressional
districts are warming UP, and in the
Second and Fifth especially, where
dates are prOgreSSiveS, there is some
doubt as to the result. In the Fifth
district, where Calderhead, one of the
ablest of the Kansas standpatters, was
beaten for denomination by Judge r.
r. Rees. insurgent, a red hot debate is
in progress between the latter and the
Democratic nominee, G.. T. HeIvering.
Debates are held in the nine county
seat towns of the district and the at
tendance has been large.
IF we could only know what the
silence in the state meant. we could
better forecast results. I do not think
there will be more than 100000 votes
cast; yet fully one-third of this num-
Der have refused to attend meetings or
| to commit themselves as to their polit-
zeal intentions. If the intention of
these silent voters is to vote for the
| Democratic nominees. we will win by
/ a large majority. If they are satisfied
and keeping quit, it is hard to foresee
the result"
Senator Charles Curtis spent Sunday
in Topeka, after a weeks. campaign in
the Fourth, Sixth and Seventh con-
gressional districts. He is optimistic
regarding the outlook for the Repub-
lican congressional candidates. He be-
Ilieves that Madison in the Seventh will
get a larger majority than he did two
years ago. Jackson in the Fourth he
regards as safe as old wheat in the
mill, and he believes that Young in
the Seventh will have a good majority,
in spite of the fight being made upon
him.
Senator Hodges, Democratic candi-
date for governor, will hold big
rally in Topeka at the Auditorium
next Saturday night. and the Demo-
cratic state and county committees are
making arrangements for a big time
that night. Senator Hodges speaking
dates for this week are as follows:
October 81, Jefferson county, all
day; November 1, Jackson county, all
day; November 2, Brown County, all
lday; November 8, Atchison county, all
day; November 4, Leavenworth county,
all day; November 5, Shawnee county,
all day; Sunday November T. Wyan-
