John Egan, who has been special
deputy game warden, is now a "regu'
lar" and on the states pay roll. Notice
of his appointment to the regular list
has been received by County Clerk
Anton. He is one of some sixty dep
uties in the state.
When you reflect that the American
people selected Woodrow Wilson as
their head and pay him less than $780,
600 a year, while the King of Bavaria
costs his little country 81, 1856, 900 year
can you wonder why Europeans speak
of Yankee shire wdness?
1t cost New York, $50, 900 to make
Siege beneficiary of a suspended SEN
tence and maybe 100000 to make
Harry Thaw a celebrity and, in the
eyes Of fools, martyr. Thus thieves
and murderers are encouraged and hon
est men discouraged.

When he returned and started across
with the traveller, the latter became
curious.

THICK DANDRUFF ON HEAD

Some time ago / was troubled with
dandruR. At first 1t was just thin and
l didn't pay any attention to it but
after about a month or so it became
SO thick and itched me so much that
/ would scratchSt until my head would
bleed. Shortly after my hair started
to fall and then l knew l must do
something. When the trouble first ap-
peared it was kind of a red rash which
later dried into small scales and could
be plainly seen in my hair. There was
a constant itching from morn till night
so great that 1 would scratch until my
scalp would bleed and later turned to
little scabs. Ny hair became very
thin and dry.

BY BRUNO LESSING.
international News Service,


New York.-Bruno Leasing, who was
In Austria when var vas declared,
and who arrived here on the Nieuw
Amsterdam, gives the following &C
count Of his experiences:
The observations Of passengers
aboard the Nieuw Amsterdam form as
clear a description of the outbreak of
the great war as will probably ever
be told.
By piecing together the pictures
obtained from persons who were in
Carlsbad and Marienbad, in Austria,
with the scenes in Wiesbaden, Ham
burg, Nauheim and Baden, in Ger
many, the Tyrol and the Rhenish
provinces, you obtain a panorama that
gives some idea of the shock, the be-
wilderment and the panic that fell
upon Europe within 48 hours.
In Marienbad the band was play
ing. The promenade and streets were
thronged with foreigners and villagers
were in holiday mood-beautiful wom-
en- from the four quarters Of the globe.
The theater, the concert halls, and the
moving picture shows were crowded.
The next morning the town arose
stunned. The order to mobilize had
gone forth in the night. The walters,
the cooks, the porters, the hack driv.
ers and in some cases even the pro-
prietor and the whole office force had
left to assemble with the army corps
on the German frontier.
Many guests hastily packed their
trunks and left town. Around every
bulletin board were groups Of women.
red-eyed with weeping, wringing their
hands.
One woman whose husband kept a
grocery had husband and four sons
called to the colors. In that little
town you could Iave multiplied this
incident a hundredfold.
Every newspaper was compelled to
submit a copy Of its issue to the mil.
itary commandant three hours before
its distribution. When the censor was
through with 1t most Of the news had
been taken out.
Rush for Their Money.
People fastened to the banks to
draw out their money. They were as.
sured that their money was safe, but
were turned away empty handed. One
by one the stores were closed. Wis
itors who made purchases counter
manded their orders.
Wherever I inquired, in Austria and
in Germany, the answer was the same.
Russia wants war;" said the Ger.
mans; Germany wants war;" said the
Austrians, "and we are drawn into it.
The officers Of the army are crazy to
fight. The young folks cheer for the
flag. But we must pay the price, My
business is ruined. l am a patriot
God help my family"
The railway service to Russia had
been suspended. At midnight trains
were run to the frontiers of Russia
and Germany for foreigners who
wished to leave-after that the rail
roads would be turned over to the
military. The scramble developed
quickly into a panic.
Every vehicle was quickly piled
high with baggage. Women with
push carts trundled trunks to the sta
ton. Many visitors carried trunks or
their shoulders. The railroad station
was damned. When finally the gates
were opened a rush for seats and
standing took place. No conduc
tor came to inspect tickets; the serv
ice was completely demoralized. Five

FLIGHT OF
TOURISTS DESCRIBED

hundred passengers were left behind.
Where they are now heaven only
knows.
The train slowly proceeded toward
the frontier. The district, one of the
richest and busiest in Russia, was ST.
lent and deserted. Here and there in
a wide field an old woman was seen
struggling to harvest the crops. Fac
tories were deserted. The workmen
had gone to war.
Baggage Left Behind.
1t was not until nightfall, when the
train reached Nuremburg, that the
passengers learned that two baggage
cars had been left behind. At every
station from the Austrian frontier to
Holland, l saw piles Of trunks, mostly
belonging to Americans and English
men. The stories told by passengers
from Berlin, Hamburg and Paris of
countless thousands Of pieces of bag
gage piled at railroad stations stag
ger ones credulity.
Just as we crossed the border came
the news that Germany had already
begun to mobilize. Plans were hasti-
ly made and as hastily discarded. Ev-
cry n wanted to know what trains
were running, what frontiers were
open and what steamers were sailing.
There was no n to answer.
The train logged through the same
sad Genes of desolation we beheld in
misunderstanding fields, crops ripe
for harvest without a soul to rear
them. Factories were quiet. We
were sidetracked every little while to
permit trains laden with soldiers to
pass. At nightfall, without having
eaten all day, our trainload arrived
at Nuremberg, where the station was
crowded with Americans, Englishmen.
Belgians and Hollanders waiting for
hours for a train.
The Nuremburg hotels were filed
with foreigners. Some were going to
Switzerland. Rumors came, however,
that Switzerland had formed an alli-
ance with France and that the Ger
mans had stopped all trains.

No one knew what truth there was
In the rumors; no one knew any way
Of ascertaining the truth; all was con-

ment that all railroad communication
with the French frontier had been
suspended and that after "a hours no
further trains would be run in the Ger
man empire.
The following morning nearly every
foreigner in Nuremberg left for the
West in two streams-one toward Bel
GUM, the other toward Holland. l
chose Holland, and the memory of
the ride will long abide with me like
a nightmare.
At Bonn three army officers fought
through the crush and compelled the
occupants Of a first-class compartment
to give up their seats. We were now
in the heart of German mobilization.
Every station was thronged with sol
diers. We passed camp after camp
and train after train laden with u
carriages, tents and provisions passed
us.
At every station the soldiers COM

Various theories have been advanced
in explanation Of the true cause and
nature OF azoturia. A majority of in
vestigators, however, are inclined to the
belief that it is an autointoxication. The
fact that development of the disease is
favored by rich feeding and period Of
idleness tends to lend weight to such
hypothesis. For practical purposes,
however, it is sufficient for the owner Of
good horses to know that the disease NAV

horses are not working and by exercising
his horses daily.
