Reno Jail.

Hutchinson, April Johannes Spill
man, alias Sweeny, the man who es-
capped from Arkansas authorities and
was arrested here and held for in
vestigation by the sheriff until the
Arkansas people could get him, tried
his luck at getting out of the Reno
county jail, but did not succeed, and
is now back on his way to Van Buren,.
A saw got into the possession of the
bad man, either through some conreo-
crate working from the outside or was
concealed on his person when he was
placed in the lookup. Anyway, Spill
man, realizing that the southern peo-
pie were on their way to get him and
take him back, made one last and final
attempt to escape, by saving almost
through one of the bars before ne
was discovered.
The deputy sent here to take back
the prisoner said Spillman is des-
perate character and is wanted for
several crimes. Deputy Severn re-
turned Sunday night with Spillman for
Van Buren,.

For Age-Marred Skins
and Dull, Streaky Hair
(Frora American Press. }

Fine lines and that aged condition
of the skin are caused by pore-clog-

lotion which seems a part of skin

at little cost by dissolving 4 ounces

fuls of glycerine. This face-lotion
protects the skin against the ravages
of sun and wind, removes tan, freck-
les, oiliness and other upsets and
lends an indefinite charm to the
complexion.
An invigorating and pleasing sham
poo can easily be made by dissolving
a teaspoonful canthrox in a cup of
hot water. This creates an abundance
of rich, cleansing lather which is
positive benefit to your scalp and
hair. After rinsing, your hair will
dry quickly and evenly, with a bril-
lance and silky softness truly charm

the druggists, removes dandruf,
makes the scalp healthy and promotes
an abundant growth.AAdy

LESSEN BROOM CORN ACREAGE
Growers in Southwest Kansas Want
Better Prices.

Hutchinson, April 10.-Fewer acres;
better bush.
That is the watchword and motto
of the Broom Corn Growers union.
which is being organized among the
farmers of southwestern Kansas. The
proper name of this organization is
the National Broom Corn Growers as
ISOLATION.
The object is to curtail the acreage,
and produce a better quality of brush,
and thereby raise the price.
Judging by the reports from Reno
and Rice county growers there is no
doubt about there being fewer acres
in this district this year, although it
will be due to poor prices DRIVING
farmers out of the business, rather
than to efforts of any union"

Man for man the Yale team showed a
marked superiority over the Tigers IN
yesterdays struggle. In onth offensive
and defensive play the Blue was better
at all times. 1t was at the times when
Yale generalship should nave been used
that the Blue failed and the game vas

The triumph of West over East is

nothing but credit upon Michigan and
the other Western elevens victorious in
the games this season. Michigan's vic

nothing to be desired. In the same
manner that Syracuse was battered
and humbled and Cornell was shaken to
the roots, Michigan trounced George
Brooke's team.
