FORCE TEUTONS OVER USER
Canal and Are Making Stand on
East Side.

London, May 1S.-The Germans
have been driven from the west
bank of the User canal in Belgium,
and are making a stand in their
main positions on the east bank north
of Ypres.
This development is not only
claimed in the French official COM
nfunique, but was admitted by Berlin
before the French announced the vic
tory. Paris says the Germans we're
menaced with complete development
by the successful French and Belgian
attacks of the last few days, while the
German official statement says the re-
under the heavy artillery fire of the
French.
Berlin also admits that the Brit
fish have won victory at the south
ern end of the northwestern battle
line, south Of Neuve Chapelle, and
are holding the advanced trenches
taken from the Germans, while the
French communique as we'll as Sir
John French's official report declare
the British are following up their
advantage by taking all the German
trenches on front Of two miles be-
tween LaBassee and Neuve Chapelle.
The Germans surrendered in large
groups and one party of 700, seeking
to surrender, was caught between
the cross-fire of the British machine
guns and their own artillery and
every man was killed. The British,
says Paris, took 1000 prisoners and
several machine guns.
Paris reports that in spite of dense
fogs the battle is continuing north
Of Arras, particularly on the Lorette
slopes, where all German counter
attacks we're repulsed. The absence
of any French claim of decisive VIC
tory in this district lends credence
to Berlin's claim that tho French
offensive was overcome with heavy
losses.

en- with convenient pantrics and back

London, May 1S.-Joao Chagras.
head of the Portuguese revolutionists
and president of the newly formed
cabinet, was shot and probably ia
tally wounded, according to Lisbon
dispatches.
Senior Chagras was en- route from
Oporto to Lisbon to take up his new
duties. At the Entrocamento railway
station Senator Freitas suddenly
pulled revolver and fired four shots
into the body of Chagras.
According to advices received here
Freitas was shot and killed by a by
stander.
Chagras was Immediately removed
to hospital, where his condition was
pronounced most grave. In addition
to the pistol wounds he is suffering
from a fractured skull
Significance ProblematicaI.
The significance of the elimination
Of Chagras from Portuguese politics
at this time is problematical
The casualties in the fighting in
and around Lisbon during the past
few days are estimated at 200 killed
and 500 wounded. The Spanish war
ship Espana arrived at Lisbon to pro-
tect Spaniards and other foreigners.
Admiral Xavier Brito has been i'm
prisoned because he ordered the COM
mander of the submarine Espardarte
to sink the vessels in possession of
the revolutionists which were she'll
ing Lisbon. General Pimenta also
has been imprisoned. Many other
prisoners have been placed aboard the
warships in the River Tagus.
Riotin5 Resumed.
Rioting such as marked the fall Of
the capital again broke out in Lisbon,
according to dispatches. Lisbon is
under the rule of a military governor,
and the new government has issued
proclamation congratulating the peo-
pie on the rebel victory and inviting
citizens, to resume their normal occu-
pations. Rioters are warned OF pun
ishment.
One dispatch says Senior Arriaga,
overthrow president of the republic,
will be continued in office until the
expiration Of his term, October s. be-
cause of his sympathy with the revo-
lutiOnary movement.

On Friday afternoon the School
Board met for the purpose of taking
some action regarding. the sudden
death of Miss Eda Haskell. The fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted, and
the Board resolved to attend the flu
neral in a body:
Resolved: 1t is with sorrow the
Board hears of the very sudden death
OF Miss Eda Haskell, and that we eX
tend to the sorrowing members of
the family our sympathy in the great
loss that has come to them in this
sudden and unexpected decease.
We gladly bear testimony to the
very efficient and faithful services
which Miss Eda Haskell gave in all
her work in the Oskaloosa Public
Schools.
That not only in the teaching of
the required curriculum, but in in
spring her pupils with a desire for
knowledge and in her personal con
tact she gave so much of herself that
she became, as she has remained,
their very personal friend.
That her relations with the School
Board were always pleasant and help,
full, and that we feel, with the whole
a sense of personal loss
in this sudden cutting off of a life So
useful, and whose helpfulness was
looked forward to as abiding with us
for many years to come.

GETTING Rid of Gophers,

Council Bluffs, May 1S.-Farmers
of this county whose alfalfa and small
grain fields have been ravaged by
gophers have gotten rid of these pests
by adopting a plan devised by Rich

Frederickson found a hole made by
the gophers and into this he inserted
a hose attached to the exhaust pipe
of his automobile. Starting his en-

tried the plan say it works to perfec-
ton in killing the gophers.

THICK, GLOSSY HAIR
FREE FROM DANDRUFF
Girls! Try It! Hair gets soft, fluffy and
beautifuI-Get rs cent bottle
Of Danderine.

If you care for heavy hair that glis-
tens with beauty and is radiant with
life; has an incompatible softness and
is fluffy and lustrous, try Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it imme-
diately dissolves every particle of
dandruff. You can not have nice
heavy, healthy hair if you have
dandruff. This destructive scurf robs
the hair of it's luatre, it's strength and
it's very life, and if not overcome it
produces feverishness and itching of
the scalp; the hair roots famish,
loosen and die; then the hair falls out
fast. Surely get a 25-cent bottle of
Know .on's Danderine from any drug
store and just try it.
