A R Lewis, M. D, in a lengthy article in the columns of the American Journal of Health, says concerning hair: “Its deterjoration is a constant source of wor- riment to humanity, consequently bald people are readily deceived by ‘fake’ hair restoratives. The wish that a hair preparation will ‘fill the bill' is father to the fancy that it is likely to do so. A rare case in point is that of New- bro’s Herpicide, which actually does “fil the bill’ It destroys the parasite that attacks the hair root and prevents dan- druff, falling bair and baldness.” Sold by Jeading druggists Send 10c. in stamps for sample to The Herpicide Co., Detroit, Mich.

The organizations which took part in the encampment were Batteries A, B, C and D of the First Artillery of San Francisco and Companies A and F of Oakland and G of Alameda, these be- ing a part of the Fifth Regiment of Infantry. There were about 300 men in camp, none of the companies being complete. The men left Oakland at 10 o’clock last night in heavy marching order, carry- ing shelter tents and blankets, as well as cooking utensils and one day’'s ra- tions.

N —— LIVERMORE PLA BIG DAY ON THE FOURTH. Trustees and Business Men Unite for Success of a Grand Celebration of National Holiday. LIVERMORE, May 22.—This town will be the center of a great celebration of the Fourth of July, in which all of Livermore Valley will take part. The Board of Trustees, augmented by a committee of citizens, has taken the arrangements in hand, and the pre- liminary outline foreshadows a splendid observance of the national holiday. Business men in large numbers have taken hold. At their meeting last week, with Thomas Knox as chairman and James W. Clarke secretary, a com- mittee of three, composed of George Beck, W. H. Wright' and Frank Fen- non, was named to canvass for sub- scriptions. At the outset $572 was raised. This, with assurances of at least as much more, impelled the com- mittee to organize for a celebration. The general committee on arrange- ments is composed of Thomas Knox, chairman; James W. Clarke, secretary; D. McDonald, D. J. Murphy, F. Mathie- sen, Theodore Gorner and William Lowenthal. Money will be raised for a flag pole fund. ————————— VOTERS ARE REGISTERING VERY SLOWLY THIS YEAR County Clerk J. P. Cook Makes a Tour of the County to Stir Them Up. OAKLAND, May 22.—The voters of Alameda County are registering so slowly that County Clerk J. P. Cook has visited every section of the county with a force of deputies for the pur- pose of giving those who live in the interior a chance to get on the Great Register without being compelled to come to the county seat. This has proved a help to those living in the interior, but even with all of this work only about 50 per cent of the voters in the interior have registered, while in Oakland less than 20 per cent have placed their names so that they can vote this fall. The last Great Register has been canceled and every one who wishes to vote this fall will have to take the oath anew before a Deputy County Clerk. Mr. Cook announces that he will mail a notice to every voter in the canceled Great Register, and, be- ginning with June 15, the County Clerk’s office will be kept open every evening from 7 until 9 o'clock. —_—— e ‘Women Fight Desperate Battle, Miss Ruth Kewnig and her sister-in- law, Mrs. Lizzie Kewnig, fought a des- perate battle yesterday afternoon at their residence on Prospect avenue.

Eugene Paris, an aged winemaker formerly of Livermore, died at the Re- ceiving Hospital at 4 o’clock this morn- ing from injuries he sustained by being struck by a Seventh-street local train last night at the Webster-street cross- ing. The old man was walking across the him. Paris acted as if he did not see or hear the puffing locomotive. At the hospital, where the injured man was speedily removed, his injuries were examined by Dr. Emerson and pronounced fatal. Besides fractures of three ribs, right arm and right leg with a dislocation of the right shoulder there were internal injuries which must have ended the sufferer’s life. The body was taken in charge by the Coroner. Paris was 62 years old, a na- tive of France and was a widower. He resided with a daughter, Mrs. Croon, at 1571 Filbert street. FOUR BILLION SIRPLLS VALE Department of Agriculture Prepares Report on the Excess of Year’s Products WASHINGTON, May 22—The De- partment of Agriculture has issued a report on “The Nation's Farm Sur- plus,” prepared by George K. Holmes, chief of the division of foreign markets. It gives $4,500,000,000 as a conservative estimate of the value of the farm pro- ducts of this country not fed to live stock in 1903, on the basis of the cen- sus valuation. The value of the ex- ported farm products of this country was in 1903 $878,479,451, and the highest value reached during the last eleven years was $951,628,331 in 1901, due chiefly to cotton. The value of the exported farm products of this coun- try is concentrated mostly in a few principal products. Of it in 1903 cot- ton constituted 36 per cent, grain and grain products 25 per cent, meat and meat products and live animals 2¢ per cent, these products equaling over 8 per cent of the exports of farm pro- ducts last year. Adding tobacco, whose exports were valued at over $35,000,000, oil cake and oil cake meal, $19,839,279, fruits and nuts over $18,000.000, and vegetable oils over $16,000,000, gives a total of eight classes of products, each with an ex- port value of over $10,000,000, that com- prise almost 96 per cent of the farm exports of 1903.

To-morrow morning the glee club of the University of California will start on its 5000-mile tour of the East, plans for which have been maturing for a week. With but one exception this is the longest trip ever undertaken by a college glee club, the exception being the Yale club that came to California several years ago. A special car will take the college singers over the route. They will leave early on Monday morning on a Santa Fe train for the south. Four Southern California towns will be visited before the singers leave the State. The itin- erary includes visits to Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and then in places eastward on the way to Chicago. From Chicago they will go to St. Louis, where a series of concerts will be given in the California State building at the World's Fair under the auspices of the Califor- nia Promotion Committee. The entire trip will oceupy six weeks. The club will be composed of the following: First tenors—Charles Elston, Russell McCo- mas, Nathaniel Eddy, James Rhea and A. 8. Wiester; second tenors—Fred L.

A steady, -healthy- activity in Oak- land real estate has marked the last week, and from the reports of dealers in Alameda, Fruitvale and Berkeley the same conditions have prevailed in those places. The summer market has now fairly opened and everything indicates that, while there is in no sense a boom, this year will be one of the best ever known in the history of the city. The next three months will witness a great change in the business portion of the city and where at present the commerdial center is practically con- fined within the district bounded by Seventh and Fourteenth and Franklin and Clay streets, by the end of Sep- tember several large business struc- tures will be erected or in course of erection well outside these limits. SOME NEW BUILDINGS. The most important of these new structures is the, four-story brick building which is’ to be erected on the northwest corner of Twelfth and Harrison streets, on the site of the old Club stables. The lower floor of this building will be devoted to stores and the three upper floors will be oe- cupied by the Polytechnic Business College. The dimensions of this new | structure will be 95x95 feet. The work of excavating for the founda- tions has already been commenced. Another project which is of great importance to this city is the proposed erection of a large tourist hotel at the corner of Twentieth street and Tele- graph avenue. Plans for the bullding have been submitted to the Oakland Board of Trade by Mrs. Isabella Rich- ards, who proposes to build the hotel, and the approval of the board is re- quested for the proposition. The property on which it is proposed to erect the hotel is 200 feet square and is owned jointly by Dr. W. D. Hunt- ington and Dr. R. T. Stratton. Several other new buildings are in course of construction in other parts of the city and among them are two which are being erected at Twenty- third avenue by the California Bank, and a number of homes which are to be put up on the tract at the head of Twenty-third avenue, which is owned by the heirs of Mrs. Sarah Wakefleld. The Oakland Water Front Company is bulkheading a portion of its prop- erty at the west of the entrance to Lake Merritt, preparatory to filling it in as a site for factories and manu- facturing plants. The increasing de- mands for sites of this kind make it imperative that more space be secured at an early date. DEALERS ARE SATISFIED. Local real estate dealers are well satisflied with the condition of the market and expect the year to be one of the best in the history of Oakland. Willlam J. Laymance of the Laymance Real Estate Company says: The resources of this city have almost treb- led within the last two years and prospective investors and owners of real estate in Oak- jand feel confident that the present values are secure from the fluctuations so often noticeable in other cities. People outside of Oskland are beginning to notice, and to talk about this city, and this in turn s attractiug new capi- tal and new people. This condition is. one that affords the greatest possible satisfaction to property owners and real _ estate dealers allke, for it proves that outsiders are waking Up to the possibilities of Omkiand real estate as an investment, and also that the people of Oakland are awakening to the importance of their home city. W. E. Rudell, a prominent dealer in Fruitvale real estate, said to-day: Conditions in Fruitvale real estate are bet- ter than they have ever been before, and this year will see @ larger growth in this part of Alameda County than has ever before been known. The increase of railroad facilities with this point has resuited already in an increased demand for homes, and many of the homeseekers are securing property in this Vviemity. The improvement of Oakland's water front and the consequent increase in business will also prove a good thing for the real estate business in general, and there is no doubt that Fruitvale will receive its full share of the gemeral prosperity. The Realty, Bond and Finance Company reports an excellent week and many sales of residence property, and J. H. Macdonald & Co. report many inquiries for improved and un- improved property in Berkeley and Alameda, as well as in Oakland. ——————————— FEAR UNIDENTIFIED BODY MAY BE THAT OF JEFFREYS Friends of Missing Iron Molder of Opinion That Remains Found Near Lafayette Are His.

NEVADA, Iowa, May 22—Preferring death to being returned to Sing Sing to finished an unexpired term, Joseph Pankusch, an Austrian, leaped from the overland limited of the Chicago and Northwestern road while the train was traveling sixty miles an hour. FHis head struck the rail of the west bound track and death must have been instantaneous. Pankusch escaped from Sing SIng two months ago while serving a term for assault. The de- tectives soon got on his trail and he was fol- lowed to Reno, Colo., by two prison officials.
