NEW ANGLE IN IN
 M'NAMARA CASE
FEDERAL GRAND JURY AT IN. DiANAPoLis MAY MAKE AN
 INVESTIGATION.
Would Make Complete Change in the Legal Status of the ceie-
 brated Trial.

Los Angeles. Cal, Oct 26.-Re- 2orts from Indianapolis today that Ia federal grand jury would investi- gate the so-called McNamara dyna- hitting case supplied theme for consideration by both sides in the McNamara trial.
 Clarence s. Darrow chief counsel for the defense, telegraphed to In dianapolis for more information. A lull in court procedure while q |new venire was being summoned gave opportunity for consideration of the subject. It was believed the whole aspect of the case might be changed by the action of the federal authorities and that the McNamaras under nineteen indictments for mur- der in connection with the destruc- tion of the Times building might enter upon an entirely changed legal stat us.
 It was admitted tonight the inves- tigation might make it easier for the prosecution to institute proceedings to obtain records the Indiana author ities have refused to give ap. Lack of this evidence was said to be one of the reasons why James B. Nc Namara,s case is tried first. Should an indictment result from the Indianapolis investigation, there Is legal possibilities that John J. McNamara would be taken back to lIndianapolis. This could be done under an order from a United States | commissioner. Such action would
 raise again the question of McNama-
 ra's extradition from Indiana to Cal ifornia.
 United States District Attorney Me
 Cormck said tonight he had receiv- ed mo information concerning the federal case.
 I District Attorney Fredericks ad- mitted that the Indianapolis inyes.
 tigation had been known to him fol
 some time.

 ton.

ARE MICROBES IN YOUR scALP7
it Has Been Proved That Microbes
 Cause saIdness.

1t Has Been Proved That Microbes
 Cause Badness.
 Professor Unna of Hamburg, Ger many, and Dr. Sabourand the lead ing French dermatologist, discovered that a microbe causes badness. Their theory has time and again been amp ly verified through research experi- ments carried on under the observa- tion of eminent scientists. This mi crobe lodges in the Sebum. which is the natural nair oil, and when per mitted to flourish it destroys the hair follicles and in time, the pores entirely close. and the scalp gradu- ally takes on shiny appearance. When this happens there is no hope of the growth of hair being revivec. We have remedy which will we honestly believe. remove dandruff, extermnate the miciobq romote good circulation in the scalp and around the hair roots. tighten and reyitalize the hair roots, and over come badness, so long as there is any life left in the hair roots.
 We back up this statement with our own personal guarantee that this remedy called Rexall "92" Hair Tonic will be supplied free of all cost to the user if it fails to do as we state.
 It will frequently help to restore gray and fading hair to it's original color, providing loss of color has been caused by disease; yet it is in no sense dye. Rexall "9s7 Hair Tonic accompIishes these results by aiding in making every hair root, follicle and pigment gland strong and active and by stimulating natural flow oi coloring pigment throughout the hair cells.
 We exact no obligations or prom ises-we simply ask you to give Rex all "93" Hair Tonic q thorough trial and if not satisfied tell us and we will refund the money xou paid us for 1t.

ENGINEER MOTT INJURED.
Father of Mrs. III. j. Hutchinson, a
Frequent DEBORAH Visitor i'm
Wreck at Waverly.

Engineer Henry Mott of Cedar
Rapids who frequently visits his
daughter, Mrs. III. j. Hutchinson in
DEBORAH, and sometimes runs an en-
CINE into this city, sustained injur-
les and narrowly escaped death in
a collision of two freight trains at
Waverly Junction, about seventy
five miles from Cedar Rapids, early
Friday afternoon. Motifs engine,
which was pulling an extra freight
train on the branch line at Waverly,
crashed into the middle of freight
train second 99S, which was run
ming on the main line of the Min
nesota division of the Rock Island
railway. -Four cars, filled with cat
tie were overturned, and many of
the animals were killed and others
injured.
Mott and his fireman j. N. Brooks,
did not see the freight on the main
line before it was too late to stop.
When the engine was on the verge
of crashing into the train, Fireman
Brooks pumped for his life, and thus
escaped with only slight bruise on
the knee. Mott stuck to his post
and was making attempts to stop
his locomotive when the trains col
lided. The cab of his engine was
practically demolished, and he was
covered with splinters. When the
aged engineer was pulled out of the
debris, the members of the srews
were astonished to find him alive
Mott sustained a broken leg and an
injured shoulder.
Mrs. Mott was at Waverly attend
ing the funeral of Mrs. j. H. Bow
man. Mrs. Mott was in church where
the funeral services were held when
she was summoned to come to the
scene of the wreck, which was seven
miles from Waverly. She made the
journey in cutter
Mott was placed on a passenger
train and taken to his home in Cedar
Rapids, where he has had the best
Of care, but his advanced age will
make recovery slow.

Tuberculosis in Stock.

Alfred Wells, a farmer, living
southwest of Manchester shipped
to Chicago last week, three carloads
of stock, two of cattle and one OF
hogs, were in the best of order and
were consigned to Chicago pack
ing house. Upon slaughtering the
animals it was found by the inspec-
tors that all the hogs and major
ity of the cattle were affected with
well-developed tubercular symptoms.
The entire shipment fell back upon
the hands of Mr.. Wells and were
sent to tank for probably enough to
pay the freight.
The federal authorities communi-
Gated with the state inspectors and
the latter proceeded at once to in
vestigate conditions at the Wells
farm and found that all his hogs
were infected and eighteen head of
cattle responded unfavorably. to the
tuberculin test. The stock on the
farm was not quarantined, but the
owner will be required before ship
ping any of the same outside of the
state to submit to the inspection at
Cedar Rapids.
