near Ellsworth. She was in poor
| health when she arrived and soon
after was taken ill. She was brought
to the hospital here where an oper-
alton was performed. She speaks no
English, but is girl Of unusually
sunny disposition and lay upon her bed
| in the hospital and sang Norwegian
songs by the hour. Upon recovering
! from the operation she returned to
Ellsworth, where a subsequent oper-
alton was performed, making her re-
turn to the hospital necessary. She has
now been in this city several weeks.
Happy to Return Home.
immigration officials visited Miss
Hanson at the hospital, where they
reached the conclusion that her re-

happy that she is to be returned to
her native land to spend the rest of

the heavy spring rains. The bog pipe
commenced to sink nearly two weeks
ago. At first It was not believed to be
serious. and 1t was thought 1t could be
repaired in couple Of days. Excava-
tions were made and it was found that
the sewer had sunk so quickly and so
deeply as to cause the earth to fall in
about the mouth Of the pipe, clogging
the drainage about $50 feet east Of the
big manhole opposite the pumping sta
ton and breaking the connection Of the
Thirty first street sewer.
After two or three days work, it was
found that much more time than was
first thought necessary would be re-
CURED to make the repairs. A gang Of
fifteen men was put on the job and
Wickham took personal charge of the
work and since that time it has con-
tinued without interruption, the men
laboring Sundays in an effort to make
the proper connections as quickly as
possible.

PLANTATION 10 that too much publicity y
not desired as there may be some pro-
secutions later and 1t IL not desired
that anything be done to interfere. But
attention has been called to the fact
that all tho publicity thus far has been
as to those officials who have already
gone out OF Office and no longer have
anything to do with the distribution
of printing patronage. while as to Of
ficials still in office there Is dense
silence. Much of that which has been
thus far suppressed is as interesting
as any part OF that which has been
given publicity.
Those on the inside insist that for
sheer rottenness there are few coun-
ties in the state affording such fine
example as Polk county and that one
trouble with all reforms Is that no
sooner is one bad gang ousted until an
other quite as bad installs itself In
power Therefore some OF those who
would like to clean things up are feel
ing bit discouraged.

JIrNEY OPERATORS SUE.
Secure injunction to Restrain Enforce
rent Of Davenport Ordinance.


ment Of Davenport Ordinance.
Davenport, June 1S.-Jitney bus OPP
orators are fighting for existence and
their fate will be determined at hear
ing before Judge Donegan Saturday.
There were over forty jitney busses
here up to three weeks ago when the
city council passed a stringent regu-
alting ordinance.
The jitney operators secured a tenn
porary injunction from Judge Donegan
Tuesday restraining the city from en-
forcing the ordinance. claiming unfair
discrimination and on the grounds that
it violates the interstate commerce act.
City Attorney Lambach will argue for
a dissolution OF the writ before Judge
Donegan.
The recent ordinance required a
heavy bond. special license, restricted
the number OF passengers to be car
ried to the seats in the automobiles
and required that the busses should
drive over a given route for certain
number Of hours every day in tho
week.
So stringently has the new law
been enforced that there are but six
buses still operating. Up to the time
the ordinance was passed the jitney
buses were taking 5000 daily from
the Tri-City Railway Company.

THE USE OF SOAP
SPOILS THE HAIR

+ Soap should be used very spar
ingly, II at all, IL you want to keep
your hair looking best. Most soaps
and prepared shampoos contain too
much alkali. This dries the scalp,
makes the hair brittle, and ruins 1t.
The best thing for steady use is
Just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
K (Which IL pure and greaseless), 10
cheaper and better than soap or
anything else you can llse.
One OK two teaspconfu,s will
cleanse the hair and scalp thorough
". Simply moisten the hair with
water ana rub II In. It makes an
abundance Of rich, creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing
every particle Of dust, dirt, dandruR
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and II leaves the
scalp SOFT and the hair flne and
silky. bright, lustrous. fluffy and
easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at any pharmacy, and Z few
ounceg will supply every member Of
B the family for months.
