THE PITTSBURG FAILURES.
philadelphia Ledger.

The Pittsburg failures, large as
they appear to be, will be local and
not general in their effect. There is
nothing about them to suggest a sim
liar weakness elsewhere.
The peculiar interrelations of the
banks, brokerage firms and water
company which have fallen are proof
enough that no national cause was re-
sponsible for the catastrophe. The
conditions which resulted in these re-
ceiverships, important as they are
cannot be called general.

Walla Walla has the distinction of
having been the hottest city in the
United States
The Hottest City" during the first
three days of
this week II is a distinction that
has heretofore been held by Yuma,
Arizona, which like WaIla Walla is
the seat of the state penitentiary. In
Arizona there is an old tradition about
Yuma and its heat reputation. The
story is to the effect that once upon a
time certain convict with bad rec
ord died while in prison. Presum-
ably his soul went to the regions of
eternal birthstone and there was much
sorrow among the dead mans Jail
friends until one night the spirit of
the departed convict retUrned in quest
OF blankets Then they knew that
wherever the bad man might be the
temperature was shade less torrid
than at Yuma
There may be comfort in this story
for those residents of Walla Walla
who tarry there as guests of the state
of Washington Also for benighted
Umatilla county farmers who went
there to reside after having made for
tunes farming in Oregon.

The located on rear fork gives the rider beyond doubt taking even the small est uneven surface and the very rough holes so graceful, riding on block pavements is the only comparison.

Care and Treatment Necessary
 Hundreds of correspondents ask all about the treatment of hair and scalp, any many ask for my "seSret'-ob- serving that my hair is luxuriant, fluff fy and lustrous. Neglect of the hair is the rule with women, and constant care is the exception. Woman's hair quickly resents neglect and proceeds to destroy her beauty in revenge. The hair should be thoroughly aired and brushed at least once day, and if ex- posed to the suns rays during the brushing it is all the better for it's life and luSter.
 Every head of hair should be sham poOed at least once a month, and in many cases when the scalp and hair are diseased once in two weeks is not too often. But beware of strong alkali soaps. etc I always use glorfol glow enc. which is sapOnified vegetable oils with no free alka1i- It is the purest and best cleansing agent to be ob- tained- besides, it is antisept1c and germ destroying.
 ruff, if it itches constantly and the hair lacks luster and combs out waste fully, then advise the application of plain yellow minyOl at least once in two weeks Gull directions with each IOur-Ounce jar.) This stops itching, destroys microbes and diseases of the hair and scalp.
 Thousands have straight, ''stringy," dull hair, and for those who are not blessed with fluffy, waving locks, I recommend gloriol wavOIene, which l use regularly It keeps the hair in curl or wave for days at a time, even in damp weather, while 1t enables one to dispense with the terribly injurious curling iron.
