LATE ALEX. GARDNER.
Major Harvey Writes of Oldtime
Shawnee Teacher.

Major A. NJ. Harvey attended the
funeral Wednesday of his old friend,
Alex. Gardner at Pleasant H:n church,
near Richland. and writes the State
Journal as follows about the deceased:
Yesterday : attended the funeral of
Alex. Gardner, held at Pleasant Hill
church, four miles west of Richland.
Mr.. Gardner came into the Wa
some time in the SOS, and for a num-
Der of years was one of our country
school teachers. was fortunate
enough to be a pupil of his for three
terms at the old Berry Creek school
house. He had a splendid education
and had read much In addition to the
teaching of the common branches he
coaxed and led the way to higher edu-
cation. He taught me to love Burns
and Goldsmith, and inspired all of us
to search the writings and lives of
great men in the acquiring of an edu-
cation. He was L man of high in
tegrity and clean character, and not
only acted honestly but thought hon
estly. He was one of the very few
real teachers that 1 have ever known.
He could wake up student and make
him grow from within-the very kind
of a man that Mark Hopkins must
have been He finally quit teaching,
and, having married, devoted himself
to farming, and now leaves a wife and
two children. During all these years,
he has been one of my most valued
friends When I arrived at the little
church on yesterday, I found that
many others appreciated him in the
very same way that I did. They came
from the east and west, up and down
the Wakarusa, from Overlook, from
Richland and from other places a
number of miles away and crowded the
little church and church yard in a ST.
lent, sorrowful group of neighbors and
friends, testffying in their grief to his
splendid life and character"

GRAY HAIR TURNS ITS NATURAL
COLOR AFTER APPLYING SAGE TEA

Some druggists make their own, but
it's usually too sticky, so insist upon
getting "Wyeth's" which can be de-
pended upon to restore natural color
and beauty to the hair and is the best
remedy for dandruff, dry, feverish,
itchy scalp and to stop falling hair
Folks like ''Wyeth's Sage and Sui

tell that you darkened your hair, as
1t does it so naturally and evenly, says
a we'll known downtown druggist
You dampen a sponge or soft brush
and draw 1t through your hair, TAX
ing one small strand at a time. This
requires but a few moments by
morning the gray hair disappears and
after another application or two is
restored to its natural color and looks
even more beautiful and glossy thSD

Damage From Storm Last Night.

A number of farmers from north of
town. who were in the city this morn
ing declared that the storm last night
did a great deal of damage to the
fruit trees. The warm days which pre-
ceded the storm did a great deal
towards swelling the buds and the
hail, which was unusually large, bat
tered the buds. The fruit will proba bly,
be inferior on account of it. The win
dows in several houses were broken
and the glass in a number of hot
houses in Shorey was a total wreck.
This was the second big hail storm
of the season and did a great deal
more damage around North Topeka,
since the garden stuff was larger and
the fruit buds at the tender period.
