NEARLY TEN INCHES
 RAIN IN SEVEN DAYS
uore Rain Fell in Mena in the Past Seven Days Than in Any Full Month Since April, 19OS-Wct-
 test Week On Record.

The seven days beginning We'd
 nesday, April i2, at ' p. m., and
 ending April i9 at ' o'clock, made
 I'D the wettest week that Polk
 county has experienced during ihe
 time that the weather records have been kept in the county, and D. H.
 Hopkins started that work in 1887. During that seven days the rainfall measured 9.25 inches, the day of the largest fall being from : D. m. April f4. when the government gauge showed 4.77 inches. It was during this twenty-four hours that Mena was visited by a tornado, and Ward creek ran over two feet deep across the concrete bridge on North Mena street. The same night of the storm the Ouachita river rose from 6 to 10 feet along it's course in the county, washing out the crops and fences on many of the valley farms.
 Many of the creeks over the county were so high that both of the rural route mail carriers and the star route mail carriers were badly delayed on Monday and Tues day. On Monday Guy Beavers, on Route 1, was compelled to make a big detour to get in, and as a re- suit was out about nine hours. when he usually made the run in his auto in about four hours. Roy Bales went out on Route 2 at : o'clock Tuesday and did not get in until after the postof1ice had closed that night. A. H. Fleming, of the Egger star route, and B B. Goss of the Big Fork route, got in Wednes- day instead of Tuesday, as they were scheduled.
 During no month since April, 1908, has the rainfall been as great as in the past week. Then there was 1876 inches of rain, but it was scattered out all through the month the greatest days fall being POS inches. That month had only eight clear days, and on all but eleven days it rained.

 About a week before taking sick Dr. Webb was in Mena in response to one of the frequent calls for his professional services, and to a rep resentative of The Star stated that he was making all preparations to come back to Mena to live and prac- tice his profession, having leased the front suit of rooms on the sec ond floor of the First National Bank building. At the time he requested that nothing be said in The Star of his plans until they were ma tured.
 Dr. Webb has brother and two sisters at his old home in Cleveland county, Arkansas, who have been notified and are expected to arrive today. Tn the meantime no funeral arrangements have been made.
 Dr. Cochran, an old friend of fhe deceased, was in Marysyille, Kas.. when reached by wire with sum- mons to the bedside of Dr. Webb. but owning to delay in the deliv- cry of the message, was unable to catch a train that would have brought him here twelve hours earlier, and arrived only few mo- ments before the dying man breathed his last.

Abner Webb was born in Cleye- land county, Arkansas, February 26, 1866. He attended the common schools at home in his boyhood and afterwards graduated at the Arkan- sas State University at Fayette- vile. He then took up the study of medicine, graduating at the School of Pharmacy at Philadelphia. Ats erwards he entered the Jefferson Medical College, from which he graduated with honors. He then took up the practice of his chosen profession as physician and sur geon at Ft. Smith, coming from that place to Mena in the early days of the latter city.
 Always desiring to excell and be- ing of a studious nature, Dr. Webb took two postgraduate courses in the United States, one at New Or leans and the other in Baltimore. Following these he took two courses in the best European col leges and hospitals, the last of these just before opening an office in Ft. Smith about year ago, said to be one of the best equipped of fees in that city. But Dr. Webb always had strong love for Mena, and that, together with the high re- gard in which he was held here, was responsible for his determin- ation to return.
 In addition to being a deep stu dent and fine physician, delighting in the work of relieving the suffer- ings of humanity, Dr. Webb was a gentleman of the highest order, with many traits of character that endeared him to those who knew him best. He was of retiring dis position, and never in any sense pushed himself into publicity, eith-. CT professionally or personally.
 The death of Dr. Webb is a source of deep sorrow in the hearts of his many friends, and a distinct loss to the city of Mena.

The general market exhibited a strong tone, and a large part of yesterdays losses were recovered. Chairman Gary's statement of the position of the steel corporation with regard to the government suit is re- garded to some extent as responsible for the mo1-ements. Another factor in the market position of Steel stocks was a demand from the short inter ests In the general stock market pronounced strength was shown by the Hartman stocks, coalers, coppers, and number of industrials.

 President Nudge of the Rock Island eral Sampson, told him he expected to visit Phoenix this winter, and con- fided to him railroad suggestions, some of which would be of more than passing interest here but their talk was confidential and the general does not care to repeat what he has heard. He intimates, however that when MT. Nudge arrives he may be prevailed upon to speak of some matters in a very encouraging way.
 Two or three harvest home festi- vals were attended during the sum mer and everywhere the farmers were rejoicing over good crops They have been fortunate in having but very little frost up to the present time and a bumper crop of corn has been fully matured. Some farmers near the Canadian line rejoiced at the failure of reciprocity. while others strongly favored it. but the farther one gets away from the line the more pronounced is the sentiment in favor of the measure.

DON'T BE
 UNREASONABLE
If You Neglect the Care of the Scalp You Should Not Expect Beau
 t!ful Hair.

The hair is more exposed and hence more liable to accumulate dust and dirt than any other portion of the body
 In spite of this the hair receives, as a rule, the least attention and no real effort is made to keep it healthy
 If the dandruff germ is allowed to work unmolested and the scalp be- comes crusted with dirt accumulations, one may expect the hair to die and fall out. There is no cause for surprise in this phenomenon; it is natural and happens in every instance where the care of the hair and scalp is over looked.
 The one sure remedy which prevents the loss of hair and permits a healthy luXuriant growth is found in Newbro's Herpicide.
 The dandruff germ cannot live on a head to which Herpicide is regularly ceases to fall. The terrible itching applied, the germ dies, the hair stops almost instantly.

DIDN'T UNDERSTAND
 IMPORT OF ACTION
Miller Said He Had Failed to Com prehend Plea Made By Him
 in Court.

C. NJ. Miller indicted by the grand jury for allegedly receiving goods stolen by Jack Turner from the Fried man jewelry store, yesterday in the district court entered a plea of guilty to receiving property of a value less than $50. This constitutes a misde- meanor Miller was given a suspend ed sentence
 Miller made a statement to The Re publican last night. in which he took exception to the story of the affair published in an afternoon paper. He said he did not admit having sold the goods in questiOn-a number of watch cases. Also, he said he did not plead guilty to receiving the goods knowing they had been stolen.
 When told that that is precisely what the court record shows. Miller said he had entered the plea, then, through ignorance-that he would not have made a plea of that kind if he had understood its import.

TO CURE BY RAOIUM.
There Is an Institute in London Which
 Is Exploring New Fields.

The doors of the Radium Institute. which was founded by Lord Iveagh and Sir Ernest Cassel at the suggestion or King Edward VII, have been open to the public since August A.
 once again England will lead the world, for the institute is more elabo- rately equipped for its special work and has a larger supply of the essen tial element, radium, than any other establishment, either in Europe or America No man of science would dare to prophecy what strange cures and stranger discoveries it may wit ness. At any rate, radium, the infant revOlutiOnist is to be given the fullest possible opportunity to upset theories and work miracles.
 Seen from Riding House street, which skirts Queens Hall. the institute might be restaurant or a fashionable dress makers. Inside, the restaurant i'm pression persists; marble tiles and wainscoting, luxuriously carpeted stairs and a noiseless, swift running lift sup port it.
 To right and left of the main corridor are the diagnosis rooms. pleasantly furnished little parlors where the medi- cal superintendent. Hayward Pinch, will ascertain whether or not those who come to the institute are likely to be benefited by radium treatment. Two of the rooms are for paying patients one fitted with black blinds so that absolute darkness can be procured at a moments notice-and two for patients who pay nothing. Throughout the in stitute the departments are separate, yet hardly distinguishable in the mat ter of furniture, and the treatment will, of course. be identical in both.
 Among many curious things in these rooms, perhaps the most remarkable, is the apparatus for making use of the scientific marvel known as Xiii lian's bronchoscopy. by means of which a patients interior anatomy, or the contents of his stomach may be made Visible.-LOndon News.
