That the gun toting law is not cb-
served to any great extent in this
state is apparent, says the Burlington
Gazette. The other evening a half
crazed farm hand shot his employer
and his daughter near Washington,
Iowa. He confessed after the shoot
ing that he had purchased the weapon
in Des Moines 1t Is apparent he
had no permit to buy the revolver,
and the dealer who sold it should be
singled out and made an example of.
Perhaps it is equally as easy to buy
a deadly weapon in this city. The
police department should keep alert
in this regard and see that gun toting
Is reduced to minimum The law
making it felony to carry deadly
weapon is good law, but If it is not
enforced its purpose is nullifed.

LADIES! OARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's sage Tea and Sulphur
Recipe and Nobody will
Know.

The use OF Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's
time. She used to keep her hair beau
tifully dark, glossy and abundant.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home Is mussy and
out-ofdate. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for q 50-cent bottle OF
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com.
pound" you will get this famous old
recipe which can be depnded upon to
restore natural color and beauty to
the hair and is splendid for dandrun,
dry, feverish, itchy scalp and falling
hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says 1t darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell 1t has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at time BY morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two 1t becomes beautiful
ly dark, glossy, and abundant.

MARK TWAIN AND PEACE.

in spite Of Mark Twafn.s horror OF
war he was inclined. says Albert
Bigelow Paine, author OF Mark
Twain: A Biography" to speak un.
hopefully OF plans for universal peace.
The gospel Of peace" he was &C
crstomed to say. is always making a
deal of noise, always rejoicing in its
progress, but always neglecting to
furnish statistics. There are no
peaceful nations now All christen-
dom is soldier camp. The poor
have been taxed In some nations to
the starvation point to support the
giant ornaments which christian gov
ernments have built up, each to pro-
tect itself from the rest Of the chris
tian brotherhood, and incidentally to
snatch any scrap of real estate left
exposed by weaker owner.
Within the last generation each chris
tian power has turned the bulk of its
attention to finding out newer and
still newer and more and more effec-
tive ways of killing christians, and,
incidentally, a pagan now and then !:
and the surest way to get rich quick
ly in Christ's kingdom is to invent a
kind of gun that can kill more chris.
tians at one shot than other existing
kinds. All the christian nations are
at 1t. The more advanced they are,
the bigger and more destructive en-.
gines of war they create"

MONEY At HOME.

It is interesting to the newspaper
man. as he reads his exchanges, to
see how sharp the competition is for
new manufacturing industries. Cities
from far and near tumble over each
other with special inducements, the
moment they hear that any concern
contemplates a move.
Our town should be active In this
game, difficult as it is. Meanwhile the
fact is worth attention, that many a
town while campaigning earnestly
for distant concerns, is neglecting
chances that originate at nome.
There are young men in this place,
as there are everywhere who would
be perfectly competent to manage a
business proposition. If they had cap.
ital They would like to start new
INDUSTRY here. Meanwhile money is
being sent away, because our people
don't know of hopeful chances to in.
vest at home.
The concern from a distance that
may be attracted by special induce
ments, may or may not stay when the
inducements expire The concern
backed by home enterprise and CAPT
tai is rooted in home son.
To many people, the distant invest.
ment looks more attractive. But 1t
might not seem so, If examined on
the spot. Money invested at home is
under close inspection, which should
prevent losses. Wherefore. when our
young men want l'ttle capital to
start new enterprise, their claims
should have the most careful conside-
ration.

TO Cut Cotton crop.

United Press Leased Wire Service.
WASHINGTON, Sept. ia fed
eral tax Of ten cents a pound on all
cotton in excess Of one-half Of this
years crop, or a tax Of twenty dol
lars an acre for all cotton planted in
excess Of THIS years crop are two
plans for a reduction Of next years
cotton crop which will be submitted
to a cotton conference tonight. The
plan in either case would apply to the
farms individually, SO that no farm
er will be allowed to raise more than
half of the cotton he raised last year.
After considerable research, the spe-
cial committee appointed to devise
a plan is Of the opinion that such a
tax by the national government is
legal The committee consisting Of
Senators Clarke, of Arkansas; VIII
Hams, Of Mississippi and White Of
Alabama, and Representatives Hard
wick OF Georgia and Burgess of Texas
searched the supreme court decisions
and is firmly Of the opinion that the
federal government has the right I'M
der the constitution to limit produc-
ton by its taxing power. Legislators
from cotton states are anxious If pos
sible to accomplish this reduction in
cotton acreage through federal instead
of state legislation for the reason
that If the state plan was resorted to,
the baking OF single stae would in
terfere seriously with the success Of
the entire scheme.

Change Running Time
Of Packets.
DUBUQUE STOPS HERE
streekfus Packet VIII Not Make Run
to eurlington-Local Boats
Also Plan Changes
In Schedule.

A sure sign OF the approach of the
end Of the steamboat season is the
change in the schedule of the Du-
buque by the Strecafus company. Be-
ginning this week the Dubuque will
operate in the St. Louis Quincy -Keo-
kuk trade, cutting out the Sunday run
from Quincy to Burlington. In the
fall, passenger traffic dwindles to
nothing, while the freight business for
d while is quite heavy. The shorter
schedule allows more time for load
ing and unloading at all points where
the boat makes stops, and it is also
easier to make time between stops
and thus keep on the schedule. Just
now the river is high enough to make
navigation easy. but 1t is almost sure
to fall soon, and in October the Mis-
sissippi may be quite low, SO low that
the Dubuque will travel more slowly
than earlier in the year when there
was better stage. Leaving st. Louis
Tuesday, the Dubuque was at Quincy
Wednesday as usual, and from Quin-
cy came up to Keokuk, returning to
Quincy Thursday morning to leave at
8 o'clock instead Of at noon for st.
Louis. On Saturday night the boat
will leave as usual from st. Louis,
but instead Of going on up to Burling-
ton. will lay at Quincy until 10 o'clock
that night and then start back to ST.
Louis. This is to be the schedule
for the Dubuque for the balance of
the season. The Dubuque probably
will continue in service until early in
November.
The Keokuk will make at least two
more Sunday trips to Keokuk from
Quincy and then will discontinue the
Sunday service, operating only in
the packet trade between Quincy and
Burlington. The Black Hawk makes
two more Sunday trips. from. Burling-
ton to this city, and then will cut out
the Sunday service. Later In the
fall the Black Hawk will retire also
from the packet trade, leaving the
Keokuk to finish the season on tri-
weekly schedule. The Wisherd ex-
cursion boat G. w. Hill, finished its
season Monday with the excursion
from Hannibal to Quincy and return,
having on board the delegates to the
annual convention Of the Missouri
State Trades and Labor assembly.
