ALLISON NEAR PRESIDENT.

Few Iowans perhaps realize no"

ceiving the republican nomination for
president of the United States in 1888.
Mr.. George p. Roberts, former d.
rector of the mint. makes the follow
Ing statement in an article on the
career Of the late Jacob Rich OF Du-
buque which has been published by the
state Historical society Of Iowa: :,
Mr.. Rich was also an earnest am
indefatiguable champion Of Senator Al.
lison for the presidency of the United
States. In 1855, when the latter $
name was presented to the republican
national convention at Chicago, MI.
Rich was member of the inner cir
Gle which directed the movement. How
near It came to success was never
known by the public until the late
George F'risbie Hoar of Massachusetts
told the story in his autobiography. IL
is sufficient here to say that the opp"-
sition of one man, Chauncey M. De-
pew, diverted the choice of a final
conference from William B. Allison
to Benjamin Harrison.

Sure Way To Get
Rid OF Dandruff

There is one sure way that never fails
TO remove dandruff completely and that
is to dissolve it. This destroys it en-
tirely. To do. this, just get about four
ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon
apply it at mig ht when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub it
in gently with the finger tips.
By morning most, if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of it no matter how much
dandruf you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging OF the scalp will stop instantly,
and your hair will be fluffy, iustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel
q hundred times better.
\ You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. Il is inexpensive, and four
ounces is all you will need. This simple
remedy has never been known to fail.

widening activity of bonds and the
steady advance in prices, in which
the New York Central debentures
proved a conspicuous example. The
rapidity with which the S4O000,000
short term Baltimore & Ohio notes
were taken shows the healthy absorb
ing power of the market. Security
values have now had very consid-
cradle rise, especially in the -called
war group. Railroad shares have also
had very fair advance, and the stocks
sent back from London were readily
absorbed, showing a better buying
capacity here than was supposed. In

discount embryonic prosperity too
