dent and manager. He pushed extern
sion work with such vigor that in 1881
the Western Union corporation leased
the lines for ninety-nine years. Then
he took hold of the bankrupt Kenosha,
Rockford & Rock Island railroad and
eventually put it into such shape that
it became a branch of the NOrth-W estern
system.
Becoming president of the First Ma
tional bank of Kenosha in 1865, Mr..
Simmons retained the position for many
wears. He conceived the construction of
a railroad from Manitou Springs. Colo,
to the summit of Pixies peak and the
road was completed in 1891, the terminus
being Alb feet above the sea level.
From his youth up Mr. Simmons was
a Republican. He represented his county
in the Legislature in 1865 and later was
mayor of Kenosha. In the latter office
he succeeded in refunding the city's debt
of 81 100000, relieving it of the incubus
which had nearly ruined the industries

Robinson in 1850. Six children were
born to the couple, three of whom are
living: Mrs Arthur F. Town of Chicago.

was a Unitarian in religion and a mem
Der of the Milwaukee and Chicago clubs.
Grand Old Man"
SO closely identified with Kenosha' s
welfare was Mr.. Simmons that the citi-
zens universally referred to him as the
grand old man." The Simmons Manu-
featuring company's plant here is one of
the largest in the world. In his long
career Mr.. Simmons amassed a fortune
but used it unselfshly. Many local
churches owe their building to his munif-
cence and every public institution has
been benefited by his liberality. He
erected a 100000 public library in mem
DRY of his son, Gilbert NJ, and a mag
nifcent monument to Civil war soldiers
and sailors.

shoal of salmon was being herded toward
the shore, where there was little chance
of escape, and where they ultimately fell
victims to the seals. What struck the

THEY GROW HAIR
Certain Ingredients, if Prop
erly Combined, Stimulate
Human Hair Growth

Resorcin is one of the most effective
germ destroy ers ever discovered. Beta
naphthol is a most powerful yet abso-
lutely safe germicide and antiseptic,
which prevents development of germ
matter and creates a clean, healthy
condition.
Pilocarpine, although not a coloring
matter or dye, is an-jngredient well es-
tablished for its power to restore nat
ural color to human hair.
Borax, because of its well defined
softening and cleansing properties, is
most useful in the treatment OF scalp
and hair diseases. Glycerine acts as a
stimulant to the hair bulbs and has a
soothing, healing and nourishing in
f1uence. Alcohol is indispensable in
medicine because of its antiseptic, stim-
ulating and preservative qualities
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is chiefly COM
posed of these ingredients, which are
compounded in peculiar form, and we
believe it is the most effective remedy
known to medical science for scalp and
hair troubles generally. We personally
guarantee 1t to eradicate dandruff and
scalp irritations and to grow hair even
though the scalp in spots is bare of
hair, providing of course there is life
and vitality remaining in the hair
roots.
We want every one troubled with
scalp disease, danuruH or loss or hair
to try Rexall 49, Hair Tonic. II it
does not remove dandruff and promote
a growth of hair to the satisfaction of
the user we will without question or
quibble return every cent paid us for it.
This guarantee is printed on every
package. It has effected most salts
factory results in SO out of 100 cases
where put to a practical test.
Rexan "e3" Hair Tonic is entirely
unlike and in every particular different
from anything else we know of for the
purpose for which it is recommended.
We urge you to try it at our entire
risk Certainly we could offer no bet
