1t is quite necessary for you to follow
a strict diet as well as tOetake exercise
II you wish to reduce your flesh. Do not

prove helpful Do not allow yourself 10

To prevent your hair from becoming
darker you should be very careful not
to use any hair remedies containing oil

soda to the water In which the hair -
washed will keep ii light in color.

line, a farmer residing east of

The murdered man had been

a drink from bottle of whis-
key to which strychnine had
been added.
The boy then unhitched the
the horses and left his father
dying by, the oadside. His
mother afterward came back
with him and the body was
hauled home in the wagon
box. The young man has con-
fessed to the murder and says
he did it because he was
afraid the old gentleman was
going to get a divorce and
marry a young woman who
had been working at the No-
line home, and thus cut him
out Of a lot Of property.

ing held by the authorities of

Thompson Resigns Because Of III Health and Gov. Burke
Appoints Wahpston Lawyer and Politician.

w. e. Purcell Of Wahpeton'
is now United States senator
from North Dakota.
Shortly after the senate com
vened at noon Tuesday, Sena-
tor Money, the democratic lead
er Of the senate, announced to
the body the resignation of
Senator f. L. Thompson Of
North Dakota, on account of
i'll health, and that Hon. w. q.
Purcell of that state, having
been appointed to the vacancy,
and being present, would pres
ent himself to take the oath of
Office. Thereupon the new SEN
ator was escorted to the desk
of the vice president by his
colleague, Senator McCu 1rber,
and sworn in.
The new senator was at once
surrounded by fellow demo-
Gratis and they, with many of
the republican senators, were
introduced and all gave him a
hearty welcome, while at the
same time deploring the neces-
sity Of Senator Thompson's re-
tire ment.
Mrs. Purcell accompanied the
senator to Washington and they
are at present located at the
Raleigh.
There was question raised
by Senator Burrows of the COM
mittee on elections and privi-
leges as. to the regularity of
Senator Purcell's appointment,
it having been addressed to
him instead of to the senate.
but his objection was with.
drawn. .

secretary to Senator Thompson,
will remain in the same capa-
city with Senator Purcell. The
latter has announced here that
he will be an aggressive candi-
