CRAY HAIR MAKES
YOU LOOK OLD
A Simple Remedy Brings Back
the Natural CoIor--Dandruff
Quickly Removed.

How often one hears the expression.
"Shc is gray and beginning to look old. y
II is true that gray hair usually denotes
age and is always associated with age.
You never hear one referred to as hay-
ing gray hair and looking young.
The hair is generally the index of age.
If your hair is gray, you can't blame
your friends foc referring to you as look
ing old. You can't retain youthful
appearance if you allow your hair to
grow gray. Many persons of middle
age jeopardize their future simply by
allowing the gray hair to become mani
fest. If your hair has become faded or
gray, try Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy, a preparation which a
chemist by the name Of Wyeth devised
a few years ago. 1t is simple, mex
pensve and practical, and will Danish
the gray hairs in few days. 1t Is also
guaranteed to remove dandruff and pro-
mote the growth of the hair.
II is 4 pleasant dressing for the hair.
and after using it a few days itching and
dryness of the scalp entirely disappear
Don't neglect your hair. Start using
Wyeths Sage aud Sulphur to-day. and
you win be surprised at the quick
results.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all druggists.

JURY FREES
SHOOTING

lBy Associated pressl

i,g New York, Dec. i6--A verdict of
mot guilty" was returned late FRI
day freeing Lillian Graham and
Ethel Conrad of criminal charges on
which they had heen held since last
June for Shooting the mlliSnaire
sportsman and hotel proprietor, w H..
ID Stokes. The jury reached it's yer
dict in SO minutes.
The shooting show girls" were
tried on an indictment of three counts
the first charging an attempt to. mpr.
der Stokes OF consideration OF this
count, however the jurors were re-
lieved by Justice Marcus, at the re-
quest OF the district attorney. The
court restricted the jury to the Sec
ond and third counts, which charged,
respectively, assault in the first de-
gree with intent to kill, and assault
in the second degree with intent TO
do bodily injury.
The summing up argument which
Assistant Attorney Buckner made
against the girls was dramatic fea-
ture of the late afternoon session OF
court. He flourished the revolvers
with which the girls had shot Stokes
and punctuated his recital of the
shooting and his scorching denuneia-
tion of both Stokes and the girls by
frequent snaps of the trigger

He referred to the contention of coun-

said. s.,..... ....ss.., /.

! urgent demand and necessity for in
creased opportunities to earn a liv-
ing, hereby respectfully request the
city council and mayor of this city
to sell the park and viaduct bonds
as soon as possible. We sincerely
believe that the citizens OF Guthrie,
regardless of their avocations. desire
the bonds to be sold at this time,
and sold for the best price possible.
We also believe that csc for the
bonds at this time would be more ben
icial to both The laboring element of
the city and the business firms than
would 100c six months hence.
Therefore. we pray the honorable
council to sell the bonds at 95 cents
or better.

These bonds gere voted by the
people last May. The majority was
Overwhelming. Since that time spas
modic attempts to dispose of the
bonds have been interrupted by
changes in city government. Lately,
however. the city council has been
entertaining number Of offers for
the bonds. Under the law the bonds
cannot he sold for less than par How
ever, the most tender tyro in civic ar
fairs can readily conceive that no
bond broker will handle a big issue

profit in il or his efforts. Therefore,
while selliDg the bonds at par. COM
mission must be paid. at the special
meeting VI the council. Tuesday, the
bonds were sold at auction. Several
bidders were present. The results
were most gratifying. since the offer
accepted, responsible and reputable
one, called for par and accrued in
terest. In accepting the McMahan
bid. the city council deemed it best
to submit the proposal to postal
referendum vote and with this object
in view return cards have been mail
ed TO all those voters who cast a
ballot on the bond proposition in May.
In stating the proposition to vot-
ers. the city clerk, white covering the
ground leaves much to be inferred.
The clerk says: THE CITY has an

That the school district may over

the gist of an opinion handed down
by Judge Robertson of the first diyis
ion OF tae supreme court commission
in the case OF Consolidated School

According to the history Of the case

Garfield county, We're united into Con
solidated school district No. 2, fer
the purpose of building large central
school and giving fuller course OF
study. When the bond election to
build the new school was held the
tax payers voted the issue down, but
the school beard prepared to make
the improvements anyway.
A special meeting was legally call
ed for Sept. %, 1911. Director f. N.
Lanis presided, with stephen A. Beck,
clerk, keeping the minutes A resolu-
tion was presented providing that the
officers of the district should not let
contracts for new building, organize
graded schools and dispose of the dis
rict's real property. This was car
ried by vote of SO to 60, whereupon
the adherents Of the board retired
from the meeting in disorder.
There had been some dispute over
the letting Of contracts for the new
building, and, from an adverse decis-
ion of the district court, the board
had appealed TO the supreme court.
During the course of the meeting a
otion to dismiss the appeal carried
by vote CT n to 60, and after the
board walked out, the taxpayers Sc
lected Ta /. Beeson, Bismark Riley

would stand the court test. It was free
