ARE MICROBES IN YOUR SCALP?.
IL Has Been Proved That Microbes
 Cause Badness.

Professor Unna of Hamburg, Ger many, and Dr. Sabourand the leading French dermatologist, discovered that microbe causes badness. Their theory has time and again been amply verified through research experiments carried on under the observation of eminent scientists This micrObe lodges in the Sebum, which is the natural hair oil, and when permitted to flourish it destroys the hair follicles and in time the pores entirely close, and the scalp gradually takes on a shiny appearance. N hen this hap pens there is no hope of the growth of hair being revived
 We have remedy which will. we honestly believe, remove dandruff. exterminate the microbe, promote good circulation in the scalp and around the hair roots, tighten and revitalize the hair roots, and oyer- come badness, as long as tEere is any fife left in the hair roots.
 We back up this statement with our own personal guarantee that this remedy called Bexal "93' Hair Tonic viii be supplied free of all cost to the user if it fails 10 do as we state.
 IL will frequently help to restore gray and faded hair to its original color, providing loss of color has been caused by disease: yet it is in no sense dye. Rexall "93" Hair Tonic ac- compii>heS these results by aiding in making every hair root, folicle, and pigment gland strong and active, and by stimulating natural flow of eolofing pigment throughout the hair cells.
 We exact no obligations or pro- mises-we simply ask you to give ReXall "93' Hair Tonic thorough trial and if not satisfied tell us and We will refund the money you paid Us for it.

Let's have that horse or horses and keeper for our fire department.

Tie Delano tire and the almost i'm passable condition of the streets ow- ing 10 the recent protracted spell of weather, emphasizes most emphati- cally the futility of our primitive fire fighting facilities. Men cannot haul a hose cart tn ough muddy streets by hand ten or fifteen blocks and get there in time to save property when it is in flames, and they should not be expected or required 10 do it. This city will wake up some morning to find that procrastlnation in the mat ter of providing better facilities for fighting fire has cost it dearly. Lett over from last week

]. T. YOUNG FOR ASSESSOR.

In The Times announcement column this week will be found the announce ment of MT ]. T. Young, of Prairie township, who offers himself as can didate for the office of assessor of St. Francis county, subject to the action Of the Democratic primary election.
 MT. Young is a native of St. Fran cis county and spent nearly if not all of his life in this county. For the past five or six years he has been engaged in the mercantile business at Pales. tine, where he has filled the office of constable and deputy sheriff, outside of which he has never held any pub lie office. He, of course, has been a life long democrat, and has always been a faithful fearless officer in the positions where he has served, as we'll as being level-headed far sighted business man. He is in very way ca pable of and qualified to fill the duties of the office to which he aspires, and if elected, will devote his time and attention to the duties of the office, giving it the careful, impartial care and labor which he would devote to his own business. He is making the race on his own merits. has no i'll will toward any of his opponents, and says that he in the race to win. He would like very much to meet all of the voters personally, but in case he does not, solcits their good will and support just the same.
 He is widely and familiarly known throughout the county and wherever known he is highly esteemed. We bespeak for him the cordial support of the voters of St. Francis county, feeling that any trust reposed in him will be well placed.

A MORNING BURGLARY.
Thieves Break in and Rob, Wednes- day Morning, hut Their Booty
 was Small.

Early Wednesday morning Night Marshall Dougherty discovered the front door of Pettus & Buford' store on Front street to be open, and at once notified Judge E. A. Rolfe, a member of the firm, by phone. Judge Rolfe arrived, and he and the officer proceeded to investigate. They found the till, which is supposed to have contained between g. and si in silver, and some papers of no particular value to be gone. MT. Dougherty left Judge Rolfe in the store, and proceeded up the street as far as the City Drug Store, where he found the door of that establishment also open. He at once called Judge Rolfe, and it was found that here the large cash regis ter and pedestal or stand upon which it stood, had been taken out of the building and carried to point at the corner of tie alley in the rear of the storebuilding where the burglar or burglars had forced open the drawer and taken tine contents, which were afterwards learned to have been less than dollar, probably not more than sixty or seventy-fye cents.
 The county bloodhound, which is kept at the convict camp at Colt, was sent for, and at about 7:30 o'clock MT. Jake Taylor appeared on the scene with the animal. The dog, however could find no trail, and the officers were completely in the dark as to the identity of the robbers.
 That the job is not the work of professional zyeggs, is the concensus of opinion. Nothing outside of the till and the register was touched in either of the stores, as far as could be learned, and no attempt was made to open the safe, or to take any of the small valuable articles, which would have been far more valuable than the amount of money they secured.
 MT. Dougherty says that the rob bery at the Pettus X Buford store must have occurred between 3:30 and 4:l0 for at the first named time, he had passed up the street and found the door closed, and everything ap- parently secure. Judge Rolfe says that when he passed the drug store on his way to join MT. Dougherty at the Pettus X Buford store, he noticed particularly that the doors were closed. Mir. Dougherty left him in the store and found the doors open. leading to the belief that the drug store was robbed while they were in the Pettas & Buford store.
 So far the officers have made no arrests except a few tramps with whice the town has been infested here of late.

Forrest City is no longer a village. It is real live, living, breathing city, though of the second class, and we are told that when a child is no longer child, il should put away childish things. We have outgrown our primitive ire-fghting facilities, and should provide a modern equip ment. New hose and more of it is neeoed, horse or horses, and man or men to be always there and ready to go at the tap of the gong. together with such other apparatus as is used in other cities of this size and little larger is necessary. We are sleeping in imaginary security, and will awaken to learn our mistake when the town is swept by a great fire and our property is gone up in smoke and ashes. Left over from last week.

The several fires of the first of the week again very forcibly demonstra- ted the need of better methods of reaching the scene of a eonllagratton. The fire Christmas morning at Ash's restaurant, wac reached in a few minutes after the alarm was turned in, and by prompt work the depart ment was able to stop the fire and prevent its spread. The fire TueSdiy night at the pelan0 residence could not be reached in time, and con,e- Quently the house was destroyed. and another residence was badly damaged "Wednesday mornings blaze in the Pettus X Williams addition was an. other demonstration. Two or three men cannot he expected to pull a heavy reel of hose, especially through the mud and reach a fire in time to be of any use.

REPLIES TO T. R.
Phil Campbell Answers RooseveIt's
Speech Made in Kansas.

Washington, April 23.-Represn-

can made bitter attack in the house
Monday on Col. Roosevelt. The speech
was in reply to an attack on him by
Col. Roosevelt during the latter's tour
through Kansas. His denunciation of
the colonel was vigorously applauded
on. the Democratic side.
He brands every man as an infa-
nous scoundrel whom he cannot force
into agreeing with him." said Mr..
Campbell. st want to ask these two
questions of Mr. Roosevelt"
Did you or did you not send note
to the department of justice asking
that further steps for the prosecution
of the harvester trust be suspended
Did you, or did you not flay the
Emalefactors of great wealth and
then, in the night time, in private
trust and the Tennessee coal and iron
company agree that they should be
united for their own benz fit ?"
The Democratic side of the house
applauded Mr.. Campbell, but the Re
publicans listened without demonstra-
ton, except when he said that Presi-
dent Taft had made good"
why all this fury q asked Mr..
Vets addresses. Fwhy is this recep-
tive candidate for the presidency for a
third term nomination tanning the
passions of the people into fury
the land? What is wrong? What has
happened in the last four years? Only
one thing, the colonel is not president
of the United States"
Mr.. Campbell said that four years
ago Mr.. Roosevelt had convinced the
country that Mr. Taft was the best
fitted man for the presidency and he
added tht President Taft had verified
the promises made for him by Colonel
Roosevelt"
"Has it offended the colonel that
some of his particular friends have
been hauled into court by order of the
president? Did it offend the colonel
that a suit was Instituted against the
Steel corporation and the Harvester
trust?
what is the trouble? 1t is ambi
ton, thirst for power, by the greatest
politician since julius Caesar. Colonel
Roosevelt has all of the ambition of
Caesar, of Cromwell and of Napoleon,
without the craftsmanship and ability
of any one of them.
HE tyrannizes over everybody to-
day who does not agree with him. He
would wipe any man off the political
map who disagrees with him. Because
I presumed, without mentioning his
name to disagree with the astounding
proposition that he made, he has not
ceased in assailing me for three or
four weeks

Engineers VIII Not Wait Long for
Managers Answer.

New York, April 22.-Grand Chief
Stone of the engineers said that all ne
gotiations would end today unless the
conference of railroad managers ac-
cepted the demands of the engineers.
He added that a strike would be called
some time before midnight Tuesday
unless the railway managers changed
their minds and decided to grant the
engineers demands.
The conference committee of the
railroad made rough draft of its re-
ply to the engineers and then adjourn
ed to meet with the railway presidents
of several eastern roads. After the
presidents have passed upon the reply,
it will be sent to Mr.. Stone. The con-
tents were not made public.
Mr.. Stone held a brief conference
with Judge Knapp of the United States
commerce court, and Mr.. Neill, U. s.
commissioner of labor, and said after
wards all three were of the opinion
the matter could not be settled by ar
bitration.

Topeka lost the last game of the
series to Wichita by a heart breaking
balloon ascension in the ninth inning.
Wainwright was called to the relief
of Cocreham but he was wild and in
effective. Rose was then inserted but
did little better and six runs were
scored making the score to A.
The weather was too cold for base
ball but 500 thirty-third degree
fans went out for the game. They
shouted themselves hoarse on the least
provocation-
The contest was an exciting one
from the start and the Topeka players
handled themselves like veterans. 1t
was a pretty contest until the ninth,
when Topeka exploded.
Both Gear for Topeka and Davis
for Wichita made sensational catches
in right field in the seventh inning.
The Topeka manager leaped in the
air and snatched one from the fence.
Davis made a running catch, falling
on the ground after the ball hit his
glove.
