A Safe Way to Clean Hair Brushes

To clean hair brushes without injury,
have ready two basins, one three-fourths
full of boiling water and the other with
the same amount of cold water. In the
boiling water, dissolve teaspoonful OF
Gold Dust washing powder and shake
the bristles up and down in the solution
until they are thoroughly clean, then
at once rinse well in cold water and
stand the brush to dry in the air or in
a warm place, but not too near the tire.
Of course the back of the brush must
not be wet. ),
Good hair brushes are costly, but if
properly cared for they will last tor

viewers might consider wheat as in

wheat at S7s4c is one cent above the

doubtful. Chicago has thirty per cent
less corn than last spring and only

Charge of threatening to Put Mrs
Hester Bennet-Delo Out of the
Way Brought Up This
Time.

Lawrence Delo, the Filipino was re-
turned to the county Jail today after
the case against him of breaking anaa
entering was ignored by the grand
jury at its recent sessions.
The charge to which Delo answered
in the superior court today was
threat to commit public offense by
signifying the intention to kill Hester
Delo, his wife, and the plaintiff fears
he will carry his threats into eyacu-
ton unless restrained from doing so
by the law.
Delo first plead not guilty and ask
ed time to consult counsel and his
bond was set at $500 On default of
payment, he was ordered returned to
Jail.
Changed His Mind.
officer Wilson had only taken De
10 short way from the court room
when the prisoner asked to be taken
back, saying he wished to change his
plea to one of guilty.
Judge Mcnamara merely took the
necessary court action in the case on
turn of plea by continuing the $500
bond and 1t is. likely Delo will spend
the greater part of the spring an6
summer months in jail.

against the Filipino, that of usinf

ANN|STON MAY
 BAR SEADOARD

Anniston September 26.-(Special )-The Anniston Manufacturing company of this city filed a bill in chancery in the city court of Anniston Monday afternoon which is considered to be of no little significance, as it will probably be the first of several suits with the view of effectually barring the Seaboard Air Line from the Model City.
 The suit in question has as it's object the cancellation of the deed granted the Seaboard by the Anniston Manufacturing company to a right of way through the company's property, the ground for the suit being that the railway company has not fulfilled it's promise to the plaintiff to this suit
 The belief that other similar suits are to follow is based on the general accu- sation of bad faith on the part of the Seaboard toward this city. The company projected an extension to Anniston pre- vious to the 1907 panic and was granted 8 franchise, the Anniston lIanufactur- ing company and others giving rights of way free of charge under the condition that the extension be made in a specified time. Owing to the panic the extension was ueldyeu, lHe IrdDcIlse eXlenueu anu other concessions made the road.
 Since better conditions have returned, however, the Seaboard has taken no ac- ton toward fulfilling its promise, and as the road had invested about s150.010 in terminal facilities here, it is generally believed that an agreement has been ef- 'fected with the Louisville and Nash vile by which the proposed extension has been abandoned. The officials of the road always pleaded financial stringency, but Annistonians agreed to furnish the money for the extension under reason able conditions and since the road has refused to comply with it's contract. the city has forfeited it's franchise and the business men of the city who had granted concessions to the road have begun meas iures looking to the cancellation of these concessions, the first of the suits insti- tuted having been set for trial at the present term of the Anniston city court
