Des Moines, Nov. 9.-The eXplo-
sion of a nitro lycerine bomb in
the front yard of the home of ex-
Governor Carroll, 1880 East Ninth
street at IL O'Clock Saturday night,
shattered the windows of the house
startled the family, who had retir-
ed for the night, and aroused the
entire neighborhood.
None of the occupants was injur-
ed.
Governor Carroll said that he
could give no explanation of the
act.
There is no one whom l know
would wish to injure me-" he said.
An examination of the premises
showed that the bomb had been
placed in the front yard about thir-
ty feet from the approach to the
porch. Every window in the front of
the building was shattered.
At the home of J. T. Benson, liv-
ing in the first house north, several
windows on the south side of the
house were broken from the force of
the explosion.
Mr.. Benson, whose room faces al
most directly north Of the spot
where the bomb was placed said
that he saw the flash and ran i'm
to the window but could
see no one.
Mr.. Carroll with his youngest son
Eugene, was sleeping in the front
bedrooms on the second floor. Both
were dazed as a result of the ex-
plosion and they could see no one
when they went to the windows and
ooked out.
By the time the police arrived
he entire neighborhood had been
aroused and armed with shot guns
lad made a thorough search in all
directions for several blocks. They
aid that distinct odor of nitro
,lycerin filled the air when they ar
lived on the scene.
The police believe that the bomb
vas exploded as a means of damag-
ng the property and not with any
intent to injure the inmates of the
ouse. Had they intended the lat
er the police believe they would
ave placed the bomb on the porch
r under the edge of the foundation
No trace of the bomb was found.
. hole eighteen inches in diameter
nd twelve inches deep in the
round in the front yard indicated
he spot where the explosive had t
cen placed. 1t is thought that the /
barge was exploded by the use of a j
Use and percussion cap. In this i
'ay the marauders would have been
lowed sufficient time in which to /
lake their getaway. s
Several of the neighbors said that +
ley had seen two men prowling v
bout near the house on Friday il
light. Members of the Carroll v
ousehold said that the same night
ley thought they had heard some s
ne about the house, but that they b
ad paid little attention to the mat t
r and had not reported it to the t
olice. e

$50 MEN TO
GIVE TIME IN

Greater Iowa Week Will be Re-
markable Occasion in His
tory of State.
WEEK OF NOVEMBER 18TH.
Gospel of a Greater Iowa Will be
Preached from Rostrum and
pit During Week.
WEEK OF NOVEMBER 18TH.

Clinton, Iowa, Nov. 9.-When, in
state, did three hundred and fifty
men give all of their time for near
ly week, to make speeches in one
thousand towns, about the same
thing,-and everyone of them CIV
ing their time and their service for
love of their state?
Such is the record being made by
the Greater Iowa Week, which, &C
cording to Governor Clarke's proc
lamation, will be observed from No.
vember 18th to November 21st, in
elusive.
More than this, about eighteen
hundred clergymen have indicated
their intention of presenting the
Greater Iowa proposition to their re-
spective congregations on Sunday,
November 18th. This is in addition
to the other men who are going to
go from town to town in their re-
spective counties preaching the gos-
pei of Greater Iowa. At the pres
ent time there are indications that
meetings will be held in about six
hundred towns in Iowa during this
week.
And still another thing-in addi-
ton to those public speakers who
will attend the meetings, and in ad-
dition to the clergymen, every rural
school teacher will present this
matter to every rural scholar in the
state. Arrangements are being
made at the University of Iowa, and
at the Iowa State college for con-
vocations of the students. At Iowa
City for instance, President Mcbride
is endeavoring to have Chief Justice
Deemer of the Iowa Supreme court,
present the Greater Iowa PROPOSE
ton to all of the three thousand
students-in the same place and at
the same time. Dean Stanton and
Dean Curtiss are working along the
same line at Ames and the Greater
Iowa association has promises Of
similar cooperation from such 9TH
err universities and schools as Coe
College, Grinnell, Drake, Highland
Park, etc.
Within the past week or ten days
special mass meetings have been
held all over the state, at which the
Greater Iowa story has been told.
A meeting was held at the Ames
college, and another one before the
commercial club at Ames. Another
was held at Grinnell one at Dewitt,
one at Atlantic, one at Sac City and
five meetings were held at Iowa City
in one day, during the home coming
week.
Meetings during the next few
days will be held at Forest City,
Mason City, Fort Dodge, Council
Bluffs, Maquoketa, Atlantic and
several other cities and towns
These meetings are preliminary to
the Greater Iowa Week meetings.

GRANDMA USED SAGE
TEA TO DARKEN HAIR
She made up mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur to bring back color,
gloss, thickness.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sui phur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and faded
hair beautifully dark and luxuriant, re-
move every bit of dandruff, stop scalp
itching and falling hair. Just few
applications will prove revelation if
your hair is fading, gray or dry, scrag-
gly and thin. Mixing the Sage Tea and
Sulphur recipe at home, though, is
troublesome. An easier way is to get the
ready-to-use tonic, costing about SO cents
a large bottle at drug stores known as
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy,' thus avoiding a lot OF muss.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our youth
full appearance and attractiveness. By
darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it
does it so naturally, 50 evenly. You just
damPen a sponge or soft brush with it
and draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared, and,
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
soft and luxuriant

NEW ORLEANS. Ian. ..

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 24-Liverpool
came in poor with futures to points
lower, against to 3 points lower than
due Spots IL points lower, sales 1000
oales.
This weakness comes not unexpected
ly with the combined effect of the CEN
sus and Saturdays dullness. The Liv-
erpool stock of million bales of cotton
is the smallest in three years and is
still 425,00O bales less than last year
Fourteen thousand eight hundred
and seventy-one bales were cleared to-
day for Japan and China. This will go
into next weeks count of mil TAX
ings. Our market opened about five
points lower to conform to Liverpool
and New York, but there was a decided
Discrimination to sell, owing to the al
ready large discount of futures under
spots.
No weakness or pressure to sell is
observable in spots.
Interior points advise that spots are
not following the drop in futures. The
relatively large supply Of low grades
is the favorite bear argument. How
ever, to bear futures with cotton, which
look reasonable. Exports to-day are
very large. and will continue SO.
New York reported spot interests buy
ing and also some leading operators
showing a change in sentiment which
was clearly suggested by the change in
front in financial circles
The market developed strength and
prices advanced six points over yes
terday's closing figures
Liverpool is due Monday TO points
higher.
