Council Blufts, Ia. Talented New Leading Man. Tho presentation of the three-act comedy, “A Hot Time,” by the Chase-Lister com- pany, at the Dohany last evening, was far above the average comedy production of castern companies that have played here jin recent years. Horace Noble, the new | leading man, possesses commendable talent, and the soubrette work of Helen Myrtle, {who is an old favorite with the theater- goers of this city, is fully up to her past efforts. Tonight the company will present the soclety hit, “Young Mrs. Winthrop," for which a heavy royalty is pald to the estate of A. M. Palmer. In this production the elegant new scenery of the Dohany will be shown. A local business man, who has reached the age of and s still in appearance a man in the prime of life, lays his youth- | ful appearance to two very common-sense | rules of life. He never wears a muffler or | overshoe and each morning and evening takes two fingers of that famous whisky bought in bond and sold only at The Hoff- man.

A most Important discovery has been made after a year's patient laboratory work atmed In a certain direction. It is Newbro's Herpleide, a preparation that os baldness, prevents falling hair and dily and permanently eradicates dan druff. These evils are caused by a germ or parasite that burrows into the scal throwing up dandruff as it seeks to sap the lifo of the hair at the root. There's no baldness without falling or thin hair, no thin hair without dandruft and no dandruft it the germ s destroyed. Newbro's Herpi- clde 1s the only preparation that will do the work. “Destroy the cause, you remove the effect.” DEADLY CARBON MON-OX Its Instdious and Fatal Effect i trated Iin New York. The recent death in New York of one laundress and narrow escape of another through the breathing of the escaping gases from a laundry stove in which there was a coke fire, both of them overcome while awake and working, and in & large room full of doors and windows, recalls the graphic account given by Dr. A. E. Miller of the wholesale polsoning which occurred by this same gas, carbon mon-oxide, at the Snaefell mining disaster. A rescuing party was overtaken by the gas and one of their number kept writing a description of his sensations as long as his pencll would trace words. He wrote: “We all sat without moving or trying to escape; the foot of the ladder was close by, yet none of us made any effort to go to it and ascend even a single rung. We none of us tried to walk a dozen steps, which would have led us to the other side of the shaft partition, where we al} knew there was a current of better air."” The poisonous gases in these cases were carbon mon and di-oxide, chiefly the former, both of which are present in ordinary illu- minating gas. The carbon mon-oxide, which is by far the most dangerous of the two, is present in the so-called water gas (which has largely replaced the old-fashioned coal ges in the large cities) to the extent of 20 or 30 per cent. Its Insidious and paralyzing nature may be seen from the way in which the rescuing party simply sat down anl waited for death, when a fow steps would have saved them, and in the fact that two able-bodied, healthy women were overcome while wide awake and not six feet away from several doors and windows. The dangerous stealthiness of this gas seems to be due to its gradual combination with the haemoglobin of the blood (which 1s the agent carrying oxygen to the tissues and removing waste carton di-oxide) into a very stable compound, so stable in fact that it prevents the usual absorption of oxygen in the lungs, and thus readily brings abou: an asphyxiation of the tissues. It Is the polsonous gas given off from burning char- coal, which is sometimes used for sulcidal purposes.

Mason, clerk | of the United Sates circult couit and deputy | cierk for the district court, who has just re- turned from a visit to his brother in Wash- ington. “Thero seems to be no doubt that Senator Mason will be re-elected,”” he sald. It you had been in his ofice as I have, and had seen the congratulatory telegrams and letters that keep pourlng in on him from all over his state and the entire country, you would think him a man not easily de feated. The Chicago papers are publishing portraits of men who aspire to his position, but the election will not be held next year and it is too early to predict how the campaign will develop. 1f the present 11 linois legislature should elect a successor to Senator Mason it would name him. He will be returned to the senate if he wishes to go for another term, and at present it seems best and probable that he will, under the present conditions, ask for another term." Insurance Notes Turn Up. New and interesting litigation is certain to follow an attempt on the part of the recelver for the Underwriters Mutual Fire Insurance company of Sioux City, to collect @ 10 per cent assessment on premium notes given the company when it wa: doing busi- ness. The company went into the hands of a receiver in 1894 on application of the policy holders, who suftered losses and could not get a settlement. The plan of doing business was to take from policy holders notes for sums about the equal to what payments would be iz an old line company on the policies taken out. It was represented to the fusured persons that these notes would mever be collected gince all loses would be met by the regular assessments and that the notes were merely to guarantee losses and make the company stronger. These notes remained in the hands of the receiver as a part of the as- sels of the company. No effort was made immediately to collect the notes. Now, after six years waiting, the re- celver has sent out to all persons giving these notes that they must pay 10 per cent of their face to meet demands of credi- tors of the company. In several places policy holders have combined together to fight in the courts any attempt to collect on these notes or unpald premiums. At Jowa City & fund was raised in 1894 and placed in a bank to be used to fight such cases. This fund has remained there draw- ing interest until this time and now the committee in charge has hired a lawyer and will resist payment. The same is true clsewhere in lowa, for the company did business all over the state n s brief ex- istenc (Spectal.)—The the County Hospital Superintendent Jasper Reynolds of the Dallas county insane hospital passed through the city with thirteen insane per- sons on the way from the state hospital at Clarinda to the hospital near Adel. With these added there will be thirty-five in- sape persons in the Dallas county lospital, which is one of the county hospitals of the state, well equipped for the care of insane It has been demonstrated that the persons. incurable inggne can be maintained at these county hospitals at less expense to the counties than at the state hospitals, and the state board of control is in receipt of many requests to have patients returned to the county hospitals. Inasmuch as the state hospitals are already crowded beyond their capacity, these requests are complied with whenever it is shown that the county hospitals are prepared for caring for the patients. The outlook for a large meeting of the | implement dealers at the meeting of the assoclation in Des Moines, commencing next Wednesday, Is good. The committee on entertainment has already received ac- eptances from more than 1,500 persons who report their intention of being here during the week, and this does not include the representatives of business houses. Ar- rangements have been made for an immense exhibit of farm implements and machinery. Thievery G More Common. Information is recelved here that in the gouthern countles of the state thievery has become s0 common of late that farmers living in the vicinity of Farragut have formed an organization and are prepared to give a warm reception to the thieves should they again make thelr appearance in that particular section of the state. The gang evidently has headquarters in Mis- sourl and the plunder is taken across the line, but work has been done in Farragut, Colin, Shenandoah and elsewhere. A flue horse was stolen from the farm of Marion Gray, in Fremont county, and at the same time a horse was taken which belonged | to an employe on the farm. Two horses | were stolen near Coin and attempts were | made at several other places, but the thieves were either diseovered and driven off or failed to get into the barns, H. Rogers of Farragut lost some hogs, and the theft of laprobes and harness was re- ported from other farmers. lowa has been reasonably free from organized bands of | ralding thieves for a number of years owing | to the existence of so many local assoc tlons prepared to deal quickly with offe ers, but this report indicates that the coun- ties near the line are still in some danger. Dr. A, Y. Hull, who died at the home of bis son in Klowa, Kan., yesterday, was a ploneer of Des Moines and father of Con- gressman J. A. T. Hull of this district Dr. Hull came to Des Moines in 1549, where he was born in 1817, and he helped start the town of LaFayette, in this county, now defunct. He was a state senator in 1853 and introduced the first bill for removal of the state capital to Des Moines. He also edited the Star, practiced medicine and en- gaged in mercantile pursults. He went to Pueblo, Colo., in 1876 and became editor of the Pueblo Chieftain. Before that he had also edited the Democrat at Sedalia, Mo., for eight years. He had lived with his son in Kiowa, Kan., for several years. Cherry Sisters Defend Themselves, Some time ago a minute and detalled ac- | count of the rise and fall of the Cherry Sisters, who have been the laughing-stock of theater-goers for a number of years, was given in the newspapers of the coun- try, the same being in the form of an in- terview with Rev. John W. Gelger of Ma rion, a well known secret soclety man, | presumed to be well informed on the mat- ter because of the fact that the home of | the Cherry Sisters is near Marlon. | Now the sisters are out with a signed statement in which they brand as false and malicious the statements made in re- gard to them and thelr domestic affairs | | | | | They say that they have mot squandered | the fortune they made while playing at Hammerstein's in New York because they did not make a fortune there for them selves.

General Serves Notice on Weaver, A great deal of significance attaches to an editorfal in the last issue of the lowa Staats Anzleger, the German democratic organ of lowa, edited by Colonel Joseph Elboeck, who headed the Bryan electoral ticket {n Towa in the campaign of this year. Colonel Eiboeck was not only one of the candidates for elcctor-at-large, but he w 180 one of the principal Bryan speakers during the canvass. He notes the fact that the populists now repudiate General James B. Weaver, and he himself practically serves notice on Weaver that he can have no ablding place in the democratic party The Anzeiger says neral James B. Weaver, the great commoner of Towa, and indeed of the United States, a greater man reality, than the more J. Bryan, has been read out of the populist party by the frrepressible middie-of-the way populist, R. H. Weller. The state com intellectually, in celebrated William mittee of that wing of the party which would revolutionize the finances of this country so that everyb should b to borrow as much money as they want at 2 per cent per annum and thus ‘make money plenty,’ has ex pressed In its gathering in this city last week {ts utter condemnation of the fusion ifea of General Weaver, who co-operated with the democratic party, not out of any particular love for that party, but because from Uncle Sam ve he could rationally expect to come nearer a vietory in that party than by acting separately. For this he is fgnominously kicked out of the populist party, and the question now arises, where is the general to take up his political abode in the future? “In the possible reorganization of the democratic party on the old lines of sound money and the leaving out of all the op- timistic and anarchistic vagaries with which the platform has been weighted down during the past fivs years, General \Weaver would hardly be wanted, for there is no greater inflationist in all the land than the gemeral. Long before and since he ran for the presidency on the greenback ticket he has traversed every state in the union and employed his eloquent tongue to persuade the people that the country s crying for more money and that the needed cash could be 80 casily supplied, because all that was necessary for the government was to issic paper merey without limit, and, as it would have the government stamp, everybody would want it. “To such a policy the democratle party has not and will not likely in the futurc glve Its assent. General Weaver would, therefore, be sadly out of place in the re- organized democratic party, even if he was during the past five years, so to speak, the head of the free silver element of the party, and he will have to look elsewhere for a political hcme, He Is evidently a great leader without a party. e in It The Bent & Is Banner Salve.
