Brandy Fifty Years Old.

Fifty year old brandy. Think Of it!
Yet that is what they have been samp
ling up in Houston. Va, according to
The Houston Record Advertiser. Let
New York millionaires and Newport
swells imbibe the costly vintages of
France; they cannot buy such brandy
as that. Here is the account of the
finding of this rare treasure:
In 1860 Major Hendricks, who resid-
ed in the neighborhood of Hunting
Creek, as was a custom in these good
old days, made a lot of apple brandy,
several gallons CT which was put away
for future use. In 1865 the vessel con-
tanning this brandy was hid away to
keep it from being taken by the Yam
kee soldiers who passed through this
county at that time. In the meantime,
Major Hendricks died. and the brandy,
being so securely hid, it was forgotten,
and remained in it's place of hiding un-
til some one accidentally discovered it
a short while ago. Last Saturday
small bottle of this liquor was pre-
scented to the confederate veterans Of
Hunting Creek, and was exhibited by
Capt. Dick Edwards, and all of the old
boys were allowed 10 smell and smack
their lips. The connoiSseurs said it was
the finest they ever had the pleasure of
smelling
Apple blossoms and golden sunshine
imprisoned for 30 years. Think of it!

course, running toward Halstead and
on to Arkansas City.
If the road is built new town
would spring up somewhere ten or
dozen miles south of Mcpherson, as
that part of the county is occupied
by a wealthy German community that
would easily support a town.
The location of a town would affect
Mcpherson, Inman and Moundridge in
a vital manner. A Mcpherson bust
ness man in discussing this. said this
morning: IF town is built south of
here, I'm going to sell out and hit for
the new burg" Merchants think it
would decrease Mcpherson trade in
groceries and dry goods considerably.
Moundridge is trying to get the new
road, although no survey has been
made there. 1t is possibly the policy
of the company to make Moundridge
promise bonds larger than they other
wise would. Another town will mean
more hustling for Mcpherson to keep
on growing

BURLINGTON PLANS IN TEXAS.
Increase Mileage of 200 MiIes-Deep
Water Outlet.


Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. S.-The Bur-
Iington system, which is known as a
Hill enterprise, is preparing to in
crease its mileage in western Texas
by the construction of 200 miles of
track. according to authoritative re-
ports. Embraced in this system in
Texas are the Fort Worth & Denver
City. the Colorado & Southern, the
Wichita Valley lines and the Trinity
& Brazos Valley, the Hill interests
owning a one-half interest in the lat
ter line The Abilene & Southern, one
of the new Burlington lines in west
ern Texas. has just amended its char
ter so as to provide for the construc-
ton of 200 miles of extension and
branch lines
The Trinity & Brazos Valley gives
the Hill system an entrance to HouS-
ton Just below Houston on the main
land opposite Galveston, the new deep
water port of Texas City is being de-
veloped on a stupendous scale. and
it is reported that James j. Hill is
associated closely with the promoters
of the new port. The new port already
is an established reality, boat service
being maintained between there and
domestic and foreign ports.
It is believed that the Hill system
will make Texas City its deep water
outlet and when improvements of
Texas City are farther along the Hill
interests will divert its traffic from
Galveston to that place. The Missouri,
Kansas & Texas, it is said, also is
making preparations for the use of
Texas City az an additional gulf port.

WORKING ON THE NEW CUTOFF
Santa Fe Is Progressing With Grading
of Cross-Texas Line.

Amarillo. Tex, Oct. S.-Grading is
in progress along nearly all of the line
of the 31O-mile cutoff which the
Santa Fe is constructing between Tex
leo and Coleman in this state. The
plans for making Sweetwater the di-
vision point of the new line have been
prepared and arrangements are being
made for the commencement or con-
struction work upon the large ma
chine shops and car sheds which will
be erected there. 1t is said $2,OOO,OOO
will be spent in improvements at that
place.
The cutoff contains some of the
longest and most level stretches of
straight track of any road in the
United States. It is opening to set
tlement a large area of ranch coun-
try and homeseekers are locating
along the line in great mum bers. Work
on this line was not stopped when
proposed freight increases were not
allowed to become effective, as was
other Santa F'e work, as this had pro-
crossed to such a point that it was
necessary to complete because of the
amount invested.

New York. Oct. Sin spite Of per-

Miss KilgalIen of Chicago. there is a
constantly recurring rumor to the eff

which attracted SO much attention but
a short time ago, is, like so many
others. to end in the divorce courts.
Color is lent the situation by the tele-
gram sent by Count de Beaufort to
his wife in Chicago as soon as the
newspaper men got after him. The

THE REAL CAUSE.
The Ancient ScaIp-Fever Theory Ex-
ploded.

At one time dandruff was attribut ed
to the result of a feverish condition of
the scalp, which threw off the dried
cuticule in scales
Professor Unna Hamburg, Germany,
noted authority on skin diseases, ex-
plodes this theory and says that dand-
ruff is a germ disease.
This germ is really responsible for
the dandruf and for so many bald
heads. 1t can be cured if it is gone
about in the right way. The right
way, is to kill the germ.
