the part he played in the frightful
affair and declaring he would do the

Blames Judge Foster.
"Judge Foster famed the flame to
white heat when. instead Of hold
ing the man to the district court, he
only imposed a sentence of 90 days
on one of these criminals recently,
when almost at the same time he
gave a man accused of having a pint

him he would not ask for his name.

The boy showed bullet wound
in his right arm, which he said one
of the deputy sheriffs inflicted while
he was on the fourth floor Of the
court house on his way to the roof
for Brown. He also displayed an
ugly wound on his left arm where
the negro bit him in the struggle.

The lad was party to the attack
on the mayor. He said Mayor
Smith never would have been as
saulted had he not threatened the
mob with a revolver, and simply ex-

the Jail keys.

A Simple Way To
Remove Dandruf

There is one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruff at
once, and that is to dissolve it, then
you destroy it entirely. To do this,
just get about four ounces of plain,
common liquid arvon from any drug
store (this is all you will need), APP
ply it at night 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 dissolve and entirely de-
stroy every single sign and trace Of
it, no matter how much dandruff you
may have.
You will find all itching and dig
ging of the scalp will stop instantly,
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous
glossy, silky and soft, and look and
feel hundred times better.

GOVERNOR MAY
CALL SESSION IN
NEXT TWO DAYS
County Attorney. State Officials
and Omaha Lawyers Meet
Tomorrow.

A conference has been called by
County Attorney Shotwell to be
held in his office in the court house
this morning to arrange for spe-
cial session of the legislature to
provide money Immediately for re-
building the court house and re-
storing the destroyed records.
Attorney General Davis and Dep
uty Attorney General Ayres will
come from Lincoln. Six or seven
lawyers of Omaha have been in
vited to participate in the confer
ence.
An opinion by Deputy Attorney
General Davis was received by Mr..
Shotwell yesterday sating that I'M
der existing laws the county COM
missioners can call a special cleo
ton to vote bonds for rebuilding the
court house.
81 agree that this is legal, but
it is inadequate and -impracticable
in the present emergency" said
Mr.. Shotwell. 1T would take 90
days to arrange the details and ad-
vertise a special election to vote
these bonds. That fact alone makes
the proposition practically hopeless,
Secondly, there is no provision in
the statutes which gives the county
board authority to hold special
election to vote bonds to restore the
county records.
This is even of more vital i'm
portance than the restoration of the
building. Estimates differ, but it
will take from 100000 to 100000
just to restore the records. Only by
special act of the legislature can
we raise money for that work.
"A special session OF the legisla-
ture can be called by the governor
at once. Within two or three days
the members can meet and pass the
act which will enable the county
