NO TRACE OF MISS MICK
Bloodhounds at Schuyler Follow
Trail for One Mile.
MARKS OF TEAM AND BUGGY
Sheriff KunEle Believes Young
Woman of wealthy Family Has
Been Taken Away for Par
pose of Ransom.

SCHUYLER, Neb., Aug. lO.-(Special
Telegram. )-Bloodhounds from Beatrice
this afternoon picked up the trail of Miss
Louise Mick and her mysterious abduc-
tor and followed it for over a mile. south
of this city, to where it ended in a little
slough. a few feet farther on down the
bank. near where the trail was lost, the
fresh imprint of light buggy or wagon,
to which two horses were hitched. was
found. 1t is thought that the kldnaper,
anticipating pursuit by the hounds DELHI
erately went to the slough to throw the
dogs off the scent.
Seldom since the incorporation OF this
city has anything occurred here to stir
the citizens to such a high pitch OF eX-
element.
When it was first learned that the Mick
home had been entered and pretty IS
year-old Louise Mick had been carried
off while her mother and aunt were
bound TO their beds. almost half the popu-
lation formed out to assist Sheriff Adam
Kunkle and his mon i'm the search
Men armed with shotguns and revolvers
scattered to all parts of this and adjoin-
ing counties on the lookout for clues
and tomorrow the search will be resumed
again.
DR.. w. II. Mick. of Omaha arrived
here today with Mrs. Mick, and he will
assist also in the hunt.
Relatives of the girl can advance only
one motive for the sensational abduction,
and this they believe to be ransom Sher-
If Kunkle said last night that in his
opinion. 1t could only be a case of KID
mapping for purposes of ransom.
The relatives of Miss Mick are very
wealthy. and are willing to pay heavily,
1t is said, for the girls return.
1t was at . o'clock the morning that
Mrs. Mick was awakened by her daught-
er's cry. She arose quickly and found
self facing a masked man. She was
bound to the bed with heavy wire, and
then Miss Louisa Mick. aunt OF the miss
ing girl was treated likewise. When
Miss Miss was taken from her home she
was CARRIED only in a thin night dress.

His Record as Water
Powre Spectator

CfTom a starr correspondent
LINCOLN, Aug. 10.--(Special) lin his
speech in Lincoln on Saturday night, r.
g. Howell took occasion to advise his
little audience that If elected governor
of Nebraska, he would see trat every
body VINO owned water power sites
would develop them or their rights would
be cancelled by him. He essailed the
State Board OF Irrigation for not can
ceiling water power contracts, where no
development had been made and pro-
posed to see If elected that something
was done to make them get busy.
Just how far MIR. Howell would go can
not be told, but IL his record In the past
on his own water power rights is to be
judged the development would not reach
a very great stage.
The records of the state Board of lrrt-
CATION show that several years ago. r.
b. Howell of Omaha filed an application
on a water power site in Keith county, on
what was known as Otter Crek. The APP
plcation was approved by the board in
March, 1914 The records OF the office
show that Mr.. Howell made no attempt
to improve his holdings and later on
the State Board of Irrigation cancelled
his claim, because Of failure to carry
out the contract.
It is possible that Mr.. Hcwelrs censure
OF the state Board Irrigation and mis-
anxiety to make power site holders live
w to their cotracts Is due 10 the fact
that the boards action hao deprived Mr.
Howell of the privilege OF holding on to
his water right without doing any work
required by law to keep IL and that the
loss of his little holding has maze him
critical.

COMBING WON'T RID
HAIR OF DANDRUFf
The Easiest and Best Way Is to Dis
solve It

The only sure way to get rid of dan
druf is to dissolve it, then you destroy
it entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply
it at night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
DO this tonight, and by morning
most, if not all, of your dandruff will
be gone, and three or four more appl-
cations will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace of it, no matter how much dan
druff you may have.
You will find, too. that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy, lus-
trous, glossy, silky and soft. and look
and feel a hundred times better.
If you want to preserve your hair, do
by all means get rid of dandruff, for
nothing destroys the hair more quickly.
1t not only starves the hair and makes
it fall out, but it makes it stringy,
straggly, dull, dry, brittle and lifeess,
and everyone notices it. You can get
liquid arvon at any drug store. 1t is
inexpensive and never fails to do the
work. Adv.

nitted the crime.
He was locked up, pending the ar

WHAT CAUSES COLDS? /?

This question and "How to Prevent
Colds" 3 asked a thousand times
every day. A cold is really fever,
not always caused by the weather but
due to a disordered condition of the
blood or lack of important food
elements. In changing seasons fat
foods are essential because they dis
tribute heat by enriching the blood
and so render the body better able
to withstand the varying elements.
This is the underlying reason why
the medicinal fats in SCOTS Emulsion
quickly overcome colds and build
strength to prevent more serious sick
ness. 1t contains natures medicinal
fats, SO skillfully prepared that the
blood profits from every drop, and it is
free from harmful drugs or alcohol.
