Few realize how many society
women, now wash their own hair,
not because 1t IL . fad, but because
they wish to obtain the greatest
possible hair beauty and be sure
they are not using anything harm
full. The thousands who have found
that in washing the hair it is never
wise to use a makeshift but is al
ways advisable to use preparation
made for \shampooing only. say they
get the best results from a simple
homemade canthrox mixture. You
can enjoy this, the best that is
known, for about three cents a sham
poo by getting some canthrox from
your druggist, and dissolving . tea
spoonful in a cup Of hot water. Your
shampoo is now ready. After its use
the hair dries rapidly with uniform
color. Dandruff, excess oil and dirt
are dissolved and entirely disappear.
Your hair will be SO fluffy that 1t
will look much heavier than It L..
Its luster and softness will also de-
light you, while the stimulated scalp
gains the health which insures hair

ton IS DISSOLVED
HEARING ON MOTION TO DIS.
SOLVE INJUNCTION HAD
LAST FRIDAY
CONDEMNATION SUIT Still PENDING
District At Liberty to Erect Building,
II willing to Assume Risk Ct
Adverse Decision,

The case Of Holbert VS. Consolidat-
ed School District of Oneida, was be-
fore Judge Boies on Friday Of last
week for hearing on a motion of the
School District to dissolve an injunc-
ton restraining the School District
from proceeding with the erection Of
the new school house at Oneida.
At the opening Of Court Saturday
morning former Judge Ransier, Of
counsel from tho plaintiff stated that
his client, Mr.. Holbert, would not
resist the dissolution Of the injunc-
ton, but would try out the questions
upon the trial Of the condemnation
suit, under which the School District
Is attempting to obtain the land, at
which time Mr.. Holbert would insist
that the tract of land selected is not
upon a pubic highway and therefore
was not subject to condemnation.
That what is claimed to be Hoag
Avenue in Oneida was never legally
dedicated as a highway, nor opened
and used as such and that Mr.. Hol-
bert and Mr.. Hoag have used it for
many years for farming purposes;
that under such circumst tances a con-
demnation would be illegal, and il
the court should so hold the school
district would have to remove the
school building and restore the land
to its pres sent condition.
Further that If the court should
hold against Mr.. Holbert on that
point, the question would then be tried
whether the amount allowed by the
appraisers should not be greatly in
creased as compensation for taking
the only four acres of desirable build
ing site on the entire farm.
Judge Boies then dissolved the in
junction and the condemnation case
will come up for trial at some future
term OF court.
In the meantime, the school district
is at liberty to 60 ahead with the
building, if it is willing to asumse
the risk Of an adverse decision when
the condemnation case comes before
the court.

STORM SWEEPS OVER LARGE
SECTION OF COUNTY NORTH

Miles Of Track and Round House at
Meoreeor Washed away. Trains
Detoured over Illinois Central

One OF the most destructive wind
and rain storms in more than twenty
years swept over northern part OF
Delaware and Clayton counties last
Friday night, doing damage which
will figure up to many hundreds OF
thousands Of dollars. In fact the
greater part OF northeastern Iowa SUI
fered heavily. At North McGregor
a yeritable cloudburst caused q flood'
the like Of which has never been
known. The streams in the niuy
country towards the Mississippi river
became raging torrents, carrying des-
truction before them. At McGregor
the Chicago Milwaukee & st PAU
railway suffered severely. The
roundhouse was wrecked, hundreds OF
freight cars and locomotives We're
tumbled together, and for miles the
track and all bridges were washed
away. It is estimated that 1t Will
take a month to rebuild the road SO
as to make it possible for traffic TO
be resumed. All trains on the river
division are being detoured from Du-
buaue to Charles City over the I'LL.
nois Central by way Of Manchester
and Waterloo.
While large amount OF water len
in the northern part OF The county
the damage done in this way was
slight compared to that wrought Dy
the cyclone. The storm seemed 70
gain its first hold at the Chas. Barr
farm, where practically all OF the
buildings except the dwelling house
were wrecked. At the Ambrose NC
Elmeel farm large silo and grove
OF evergreen trees were destroyed.
A part of the roof Of the home was al
so torn off. At -he Geo. Thompson
farm q large barn was wrecked, and q
fine orchard laid waste. On the
Frentress farm the windmill was
transformed into a shapeless mass
OF iron, and the nice orchard destroy
ed. Windows and doors in the house
were also demolished. At the Harris
farm every building except the dwell
inr was destroyed. The dwelling
house was slightly damaged at THIS
place. At the Ocker farm great
amount Of damage was done to farm
buildings.
1t appears that the storm went IN
q northeasternly direction, and wreck
ed many buildings in the vicinity OF
Colesburg, which had been erected
since the cyclone Z two years ago,
It seems miraculous that with all
Of the farm premises laid waste
that practically no stock was killed.

damage to corn fields, washing i'm
