LARRABEE CASE UP.
Milling Company and Missouri Pacific
Go to supreme Court Again.

The Larrabee Milling case will go TO
the supreme court for the second time
this winter for retrial, reconsideration, re
vamping, and SO forth This case has
wandered up and down the aisles of the
district and supreme courts for the past
three years like a dry land Flying Dutch
man and is as far from settlement as
ever out of controversy between the
Missouri Pacific and the milling company
above mentioned over a switch has arisen
endless litigation and costs amounting to
about $4,000. The case has been won re-
peatediy by the mill people. but the rail
road is exhausting the possibilities of the
law in delay The feature Of this case
lies in the length to which a litigant can
go before wrath overtakes him.

MEX.CANKILL LED EY TRAIN
Was Walking on Union Pacific Track
and Didn't Heed Warming.

An unidentified Mexican was struck by
Rock Island train No. 81 and instantly
killed one mile east of Granville about
10 o'clock last night. His body was tossed
into the air. He was walking west when
the train ran him down.
Engineer Todd stopped the train, picked
up the body and brought it TO Topeka
where it was turned over TO Coroner H.
W. Bongardner. Todd said he saw the
man too late to stop before hitting him
but blew his whistle. which the Mexican
did not seem to heed
As the accident happened in Jefferson
county, the body probably will be sent
there for inquest.

IN THE
FOC%
BY Jean Dickerson

The harbor of the gay little sum-
mer resort was filed with pleasure
boats of every description when the
fog suddenly rolled IN from the ocean
and blotted out every sight and still
ed every sound OF laughter. The
chug-chugging of motor boats ceased
abruptly; sails ratified down as they
were hastily reefed; anchors plunked
overheard; and there arose the un-
melodious din of fog horns, bells, ST.
rens and lusty shouts of warning.
The fog settled down thickly until
one could scarcely see a hands
breadth ahead. Each person appeared
isolated from his companion; voices
lost their identity and came weird and
shrill or booming and low-pitched, al
ways startling and unexpected even
from companions in the same craft.
fog bell from the lighthouse tolled
dismally and from Island Point an
other bell sounded warningly.
Vera Gale, alone in frail canoe,
was thoroughly frightened. An hour
ago it had been amusing to set out in
her pretty green canoe and paddle
around the harbor, perhaps calling at
some yacht for few brief words with
friends or skirting the sandy shore ex-
changing merry badinage with the
bathers or campers-all Of them were
friends of Vera Gale.
Just as she had skinned near an
incoming excursion steamer and
avoided luxuriously appointed motor
boat-when she was surrounded on ev-
cry side by boats larger and heavier
than her own frail craft-the fog shut
down and she was helpless. Once
she padded desperately toward the
point where she was sure there was
safe landing but she found herself
under the bow of the big steamer
which had anchored there and rough
voice warned her away.
Then she bumped into a smaller
boat and somebody swore inelegantly
at her and she found herself apologize
ing meekly for the intrusion. AS she

finished speaking there came from the
fog close beside her a mans voice.
Vera was glad it was a pleasant voice
it sounded so near.
Pardon me. madam, but are you
alone in boat?"
''Yes-I have a canoe" was Vera's
reply.
"A dangerous craft in this mix-up,"
went on the voice. Can you swim p
"Yes-do you think there is any
danger?" Vera was growing anxious
Most assuredly there is danger if
that steamer stirs before the fog lifts.
l have a large boat here and there is
plenty of room if you care to come
aboard. We can have a line out to
the canoe"
Thank you very much, perhaps 1
had better. I've been frightened to
death for the last fifteen minutes"
said Vera.
It's mere guesswork where you are
tell me if / lay hands on your ca
noe"
There followed a few moments dur
ing which Vera knew her new &C
quaintance must be feeling around for
her canoe and with another dip of her
paddle she endeavored to draw closer
to the sound of his voice. Her effort
was successful for almost instantly
sRmething-a handicapped her rail
and the voice sounded in her ear.
Got yOu!" cried the voice triumph
antly.
Yes" answered Vera excitedly.
STEADY there" as he pulled the
frail craft gently toward him until it
bumped against the larger boat and
bobbed unsteadily Now, give ME
your hand, please-plaCe the other on
my shoulder and step over-don't be
afraid, there's locker to stand on"
Vera's hand was grasped in a large
strong wet one and obediently her 9th
er went out to find his shoulder. To
her infinite embarrassment it first
brushed a shaver cheek, then awk-
wardly grasped at a shock of thick
hair and ended on a rough, wooden
shoulder.
l ooh, I beg pardon!" she gasped as
her hand found a resting place.
He relieved her embarrassment by
speaking Of her canoe as he almost
lifted her to a seat with one strong
arm even as he held onto her craft
with the other. She couldn't see his
face and his figure was merely a dark
blur in the fog.
There, I'll have a line out to the

A BALD-HEADED WOMAN
shorn Of Her Crown Of Beauty, Loses
in Love and Marriage.

Hair is certainly most necessary to
woman. Who could love and marry
bald-headed woman? What charms
could one array to Offset such dis
figurement?
A woman's goal is usually love and
marriage. Her GROWING glory is her
hair. The loss Of her hair mars her
beauty. happiness. and success. Yet,
right here in Keokuk, there are thous-
ands OF women who are neglecting or
injuring their hair to such an extent
that 1t is only a matter Of time when
it will be utterly ruined.
Many women destroy the beauty of
their hair through thoughtlessness or
ignorance Of certain facts. They use
curling irons overheated, or to excess,
which destroys the natural oil of the
hair, causing 1t to split, break, and
come out They do not shampoo their
hair often enough, or too often. They
use soaps or preparations which con-
tain ingredients positively harmful to
the scalp and hair.
| AS result of such treatment, dand-
RUIZ is created, the hair loosens, loses
color, falls out. and badness COM
mences, unless proper and prompt
precautions are; taken in time. Then
again, microbes and certain diseases
bring about unhealthy scalp and hair
conditions.
Almost any woman may rid herself
of dandruff and diseased scalp and
hair If she will but use the right rem
Iedy. We have that remedy, and we
will positively guarantee that it will
either cure dandruff and badness or
it will not cost the user anything.
This is pretty broad statement,
but we will back 1t and prove it with
our own money. We will return your
money II you do not find that Rexall

factory remedy that will promote hair
growth and overcome scalp and hair
, troubles; that it will grow hair even
on bald heads, unless all life in the
hair roots has been extinguished, the
, follicles closed, and the scalp Is glaz
