Bryan Wants to Be f{ Mayor or He Will Not Accept City Office LINCOLN, April 21.—(Special.)—The city campaign for the commissionership appears to be settled as far as three of the canidates are concerned, Dayton, Schroeder and Hensley, present members, having the call for a re-clection, with the other two pusitions to be fought out by Mayor Zehrung, Charles Bryan and Mr. Marshall It is figured that Bryan has a fairly good chance of being one of the three, yet there is such a sentiment against him that the other two may beat him out. Mayor Zehrung is strong with the business interests of the city and a banquet the other day in which over 350 business men took part as a boost for him is liable to mean his selection. Marshall 1s well liked and if selected would take charge of the safety depart- ment. Should Zehrung be selected as one ot the five he would have the call on the mayorship—the very one Bryan wants—and this is bringing into the fight some complications. They both can't have it and it is said that Brother Char- lie will take no other. It is even hinted that he would mot accept the commis- sionership unless it carried the big mayl oralty Job with it.

Alniost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compounded, brings back the natural color and luster to the hair when faded, streaked or gray: also ends dandruff, itching scalp and stops falling hair. Years ago the only way to et this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for “Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound.” You will get a large bot- tle for about 50 cents. Bverybody uses this old. famous recipe, because no one can possibly tell that you darkened your halr, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a spdnge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a | time; by morning the gray hair disap- pears, and after another application or two, your halr becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger.—Advertisement. 2o i Indian Reservation A more satisfactory method than heretofore will be used for settlers tosecure farms.
