SILVER-PEAK STRIKE BEING
CONDUCTED VERY ORDERLY

In order TO assist Under Sheriff
John Shirley in coping with the
strike situation, Sheriff ". A..
Ingalls, this morning dcputized
Charles keilhaufCr as an assistant
to Shirley. The action was taken
at the request of Shirley, who told
the sheriff that although things
are quiet on the Silver Peak now
II would be advisable tC have a
sufficient unmbcr of men on hand
to prevent any trouble that might
arise. Sheriff ingalls, has himself
put off further trips in the interest
Of tho assessors office until he is
convinced that the settlement at
Blair will be an amicable one, and
there will be no trouble between
the strikers and the operators.
There was report on the
streets today that G. Ii. Raymer.
who is connected with a detective
bureau in San Francisco, is making
an endeavOr to have carload of
strike breakers recruited from
Goldfcld to take the place Of the
miners who are out at Blair.
These men, according to the re-
port were to be taken over the /.

strike, but the 7. and G. people
deny all knowledge of such pro-
codure. Rsymer is out of the city
today. and the truth Of the report
will probably Mt be known until

Shirley departed .lOr Blair last
night, and the local shetiiis office
is more alert than ever on account
of his visit. No serious trouble

At 7. M. G. A.

Among the many attractions that
are promised in the new y. NJ. c. A.
building, there is none that has rous-
ed quite so much interest up to date
as the dormitOry department.
Young men have learned by actual
experience that a room in the Y. NJ. c.
A. is a mighty desirable thing for a
young man away from home, and that
il is really the next best place TO
home. Thus it happens that young
men in Rock Island are already look
ing forward TO the time year from
now, when the building is TO be ready
to take them in. The secretary of
the association has already received
applications for rooms from young
men who are anxious to get the first
chance al choosing their locations.
The applications are being filed in the
order they are received, and the men
making them will be given the right
OF choice OF rooms in the order they
come. Application number one was
filed by l.. H. Ewing. Of the Photo-Art
company, who gave notice some
months ago that he desired a location.
Others have come in since.
When all the fine rooms in the new
building are filled with young men,
the building will be a regular bee hive
of business. for its capacity will be-
considerable. Rooms OF all sorts are
being provided. large and small
cheap and higher priced. single and
double rooms. so that any young man
be accommodated and give a place il
this big home. All the rooms will be
light and airy. with ample furniture
and convenient 10 shower baths and
other toilet facilities.
In connection with the rooms. a
dining room is TO be installed on the
/ first floor. where the dormitory mer
/ can secure their meals, so that IL will
/ be possible for a man 10 live in III,
building quite as conveniently and
and comfortably as in his own home
/ II is expected that a large number OF
rooms will be engaged long before the
building is completed, and that q
small army Of men will be ready Il

BEAUTIFUL HAIR
At SMALL Cost
A Simple Remedy Beauties
the Hair, Cures Dandruff,
Stops Falling Hair.

What a pity it is TO see so many
people with thin, wispy hair, faded or
streAked with gray, and realize that
most of these people might have soft,
glossy, abundant hair of beautiful color
and lustre il they would but use the
proper treatment. There is no neces-
sity for gray hair under siXty-fve years
of age, and there is no excuse for any
one, young or old, having thin, stragg-
ling hair, either full of dandrutf or
heavy and rank smelling with ex-
cessive oil.
You can bring back the natural color
Of your hair in a few days and forever
rid yourself Of any dandruff and loose
hairs, and make your hair grow strong
and beautiful by using Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy. For gener-
atoms common garden Sage has been
used for restoring and preserving the
color of the huir; and Sulphur is recog-
nized by Scalp Specialists as being
excellent for treatment Of hair and
scalp troubles.
II you are troubled with dandrufi

and has failed since 1910 to make any
returns or reports on the investment.
The charge is formal and seeks to eff
