slider the Regis corset
so goodl" asked a wo-
man who had never tried
it, and here is the answer
We value it above any other
corset because its lines are
so graceful. The very
height of corset art is in
it's every curve-the result
of the cleverest cutting and
fitting on living models. 1t
holds its shape longer, is
more durable than other
corsets. It follows the die
tates of fashion more close
ly and gives to the wearer
that stately carriage that has
made the Regis such a fav-
orite whenever tried. These
are a few of the most po-
tent reasons why we rec
ommend the Regis corset so
highly and why we sell
more of them than any 9TH
er three makes of corsets
combined.

Aruus to Appear.
Muddy Hair
From Maps in the Sand.

A lady of the New York smart set
had spent the summer at a remote
seashore resort where the principal
occupation Of the select colony was
reading or taking maps on the beach
between dips in the surf. Her hair,
which was originally beautiful golden
brown, came out at the end OF the
season handsome mud-color, with
out a partical of brilliancy or life.
Then came daily visits to hair dress
ing palaces to restore the lost color,
and incidental experience with lotions,
soaps, perfumes, pomades and ONT
ments Of different hues and odors,
many Of them costing several dollars
a bottle. But the hair did not improve
materially None of the magic lotions
seemed to be doing it's intended work.
About this time school friend came
from distant State to pay a brief
visit, and, learning of her friends pre-
dicament, suggested trying that good,
old fashioned remedy known as
HAYS HAIR HEALTH. And one
single bottle of this time-tried prepar-
alton did more to restore the lost color
of her hair than the hundreds of dol
lars she had spent in hair shops.
HAYS HAIR HEALTH is not dye.
Instead. it is genuine restorative for
the scalp and roots Of the hair. Nearly
all druggists have it in 50-cent and
dollar bottles. or it can be purchased
from the anufacturers-Philo Hay

FORCES REDUCED
ON BURLINGTON
FIFTY PER CENT OF TRACK
EXTRA GANGS SENT TO 9TH
Err POINTS ON ROAD.

A big reduction in the extra gang
force put to work by the Burlington
recently has been made, and some
fifty per cent of the track extra gang
force has been taken out of service en-
the Ottumwa division and sent else
where. Although the men have left
this division, they have not been taken
out of service entirely, but on. the
other hand have been assigned to 9TH
er divisions on the system and some
have even been sent to the Northern
Pacific, where they will be used until
the work can be resumed on the OF
tumwa division. The reason for the re-
duction of the forces at this time Is
not a move for retrenchment,, as Is
thought in some circles, but instead
is brought about through the failure
to secure ballast for the tracks in suf-
fcient quantity. When the work was
begun, fifteen extra track gangs were
put to work. This was the full quota
for summer work. Since then the bal
last pits at Sheridan, ILL.,, were food
ed and 1t will be impossible to secure
the proper quantity Of ballast until
May l to Is, when the work will again
take on its larger proportions. Some
of the men taken from the Ottumwa
division have been sent to Sioux City,
Savannah, ILL.,, and Billings, Mont, as
we'll as other places over the huge
system where they are needed more
than in this section.

DECOYS LOVER TO.
POLICE STATION
PRESTON, A NEGRO
MADE BAD MISTAKE AND
WAS ARRESTED.

Mistaking the words Police Sta
ton for Waiting Room" William
Preston, negro was decoyed into the
police station early last night by his
sweetheart, Mollie Hunter, former
colored denizen Of Smoky Row, and
arrested upon the charge of drunken
ness and carrying concealed weapons.
A big revolver of the gatling gun type
was found in one of Preston's pockets
when searched by Night Desk Ser
geant William Maloney. 1t was one OF
the old guns Of the single action type
of forty-five calibre and it was easily
the biggest revolver seen at the police
station for some time.
Mollie Hunter who had the man ar
rested by decoying him into the police
station making him think that it was
the street car waiting room stated that
Preston had threatened to kill her.
The two had started up Market street
to walk out to the place where Mollie
was employed. Frightened by the
mans actions she told him that they
had better stop in the waiting room
and wait for car. Preston readily as
sented and when he opened the door
he faced Desk Sergeant Maloney
Preston pleaded guilty to intoxica-
ton in police court this morning and
was sent to Jail for three days. After
being taken out to his daily exercise
on the rock pile, Mollie appeared in
court to prosecute her sweetheart on
more serious charges. She declared
that Preston had threatened to kill
her and wanted charges of. assault
with intent to commit great bodily in
jury filed against him.

MERRYMAKERS
IN ABUNDANCE
THE GARRick THEATER OFFERS
PLENTY OF AMUSEMENT
TO ITS PATRONS.

Manager Hopson has a string OF
merrymakers at the Garrick the first
half of this week and they proceed to
make merry with alacrity. Payne and
Lee, singsters and dancers, furnish
the opening act, and do an excellent
Job. Their songs are varied and many,
and their dancing is of the widest
sort The Billikin dance is one of the
cleverest ever seen on the Garrick
stage; thanks to the gracefulness CT
the feminine member Of the team.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ellis present
what is termed comedy sketch en-
titled, "The Opera Singers Husband. :
There is plenty of room for more
comedy, but the patriotic climax
makes amends for some Of the acts
shortcomings, and the audience warns
up to the display of the American flag
without hesitation. Floyd Mack, with
his genial 'How-do'' wins well merited
applause by his ultra-cleverl acrobatic
dancing. Mack is easily the superior
of any foot manipulation seen here, anu
his acrobatic work is no less than
marvellous. The Four Lubins present
a rapid-fire singing and dancing act
which served to parade the talents OF
each of the talented family. From the
young daughter to the father, the
Lubins are polished performers, and
their songs and dances win them in
slant recognition. The son and daugh-
ter give promise Of something extra
ordinary in the singing and dancing
line and their parents have already at
tanned a degree of excellence that is
sufficient for the western vaudeville
circuit. The electrician Of the house
tried to confuse Billy O'Brien while
he was singing Love me for Day."
but despite the jockeying with the
illuminators, Billy got away good with

pect to trot to Hymen's altar, the
pictures emphasizing the fact that love

Beautiful Hair Comes
With Dry Shamp0Oing

(From Woman's National Journel.)
Dry shampooing always has been
and always will be popular with the
woman who takes pride in long abund.
ant and glossy hair. The dry shampoo
does away with so much of the incon-
venience and bother accompanying
washing the hair-eliminates the long
drying hours and abolishes the danger
of catching cold-indeed, is so all
around satisfactory, that one wonders
why soap and water, eggs, ETC., can
find any followers whatever.
Dry. shampoos certainly stimulate
the growth Of hair. There can be no
doubt as to that. Just mix four ounces
of powdered orris root with four
ounces of therox, sprinkle table
spoonful of this mixture upon the head,
brush the powder well through the
hair; do this two or three times a
week for a while and see the results
for yourself This will keep your hair
light and fluffy. and beautifully lus-

scalp that cause hair to become streak.
