YOU DARKEN HAIR WITH SAGE TEA stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy," thus avoiding a lot of muss. Some druggists make their own, but it isn't nearly so nice as "Wyeth's.' While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinrui, we ail desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur no one can tell, because it doen it so naturally; so evenly, you just dampen a sponge or soft brush and draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. Do this tonight and by morning all gray hairs have disappeared, after an other application or two it will be re stored to its natural color and be even more glossy, soft and luxuriant than ever. Local druggists say they are selling lots of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur' it surety neips xoiks appear years younger. Harry's Drug Store, Citizens Nat'l. Bank Building. L. Harry Wels.

Richard F. Brune, retail groceries and meats, Sawtelle, California, says: "All my monthly statements I now finish in six hours by the use of the adding machine. It formerly took my $16 a week bookkeeper five days to do the same work and then the statements were not always correct. You had a hard time selling me but after I had used it one week I was sorry I hadn't bought it five years ago." A Burroughs Statement machine gets Mr. Brune 's statements out on time. Then it does every other kind of figure work it's busy every day worth' many times it cost would be to you. No cost nor obligation to be shown, in your own office or store, on your own work; say the word, and we will send the machine. Burroughs Adding Machine Co. J. F.

Arrive in Politic. Henry Blcknell has been quite a factor in polities both in Garret. Ind., and in Hammond. He was the postmaster of Garret for a term of four years. He was regarded as one of the political leaders of that city. After coming to Hammond Blcknell went Into the drug business with C O. Griffin, and afterwards with O. A. Krlnblll, now the manager . of the Chicago Telephone Co., in this district. Afterwards he bought Krlnblll out and ran the business himself. A few years ago he sold out to.Vern Summers, who moved his store from across the street and occupied the Bicknell stand. Blcknell then started a confectionery store in the present lO' cation on Sibley street. Mnny Friend Mrars. Blcknell was a staunch republican of the stand pat type. He was one of the trustees who took over the city waterworks to save the plant for the cly. He was appointed police commis sioner by Governor Durbln and waa afterwards removed from that office by Governor Frank Hanley. Afterwards Blcknell was elected to a position on the school board. He held this position for two years. He haa been known as one of the interesting characters of the city for years. The news of Blcknell's death was received In Hammond last night and caused general sorrow. His store had become the hangout for scores of business and professional men who will miss the old gentleman. The news of the death was received by Judge Virgil S. Relter In a telegram yesterday afternoon. ALLEGED MURDERER ARRESTED TContlntaed from Par L) the murder. As they passed 8828 Par ish aver.ue, they met four Roumanian coming out of the building.' One of them had a violin in his hand which he was about to return to the case. John addressed ome slighting remark re garding the instrument, to Mackrish, the Import of which did not strike Mackrish until after the pair had pass ed. He then followed them and de manded of John to repeat what he had said. His companions started to follow Mackrish. Popo at first denied having said anything, but as he saw the quar tet closing In on him, he pullde a revolver and fired point blank at Mack rlsh, who fell dead. Nick Popo da clared he had no knowledge of the fact that his brother was armed, and his act so stunned him that he did not attempt to interfere. Then fearing the consequences of having been in com pany with a man who had committed murder, he fled. He denied having in any way concerned in the murder, other than that he had happened to be with his brother when he fired the shot. He claims not to kn.iw the whereabouts of his brother, who did the shooting. The police are much gratified over their success in landing so important a' witness as Popo and Sergeant Barker and Sergeant Hughes both declare that thev will not give up on this case until they have the murderer himself. Sergeant Hughes made the first trip to Chippewa Falls to arrest Nick Pops, but when he arrived Popo was not In town, so Hughes was obliged to return without his man. He soon came back, however, and Barker took a try at thi game, finding the man at home. THE HOME NEWSPAPER OIP LAKH COUNTT IS THE COMPLIMENT BE- , STOWED BY ITS READERS ON THE 'TIMES.

MORE OUT-DOOR LIVING And Death Rate Will Be Lowered, Statistics prove that the death rate is very much greater in the winter months than in summer, and that the lack of fresh air is largely responsible for this condition. If the system becomes rundown, blood thin and watery, circulation poor, no appetite, don't dose with drugs, but take our delicious cod liver and Iron

tonic Vtnol, not a patent medicine, as everything in it is named on every package and if it does not give you a hearty appetite, enrich the blood and create strength, we will return your money; that shows our faith in Vinol.

EXODUS OF HABORITES

TO CALIFORNIA Twenty-Six Citizens Will Make Future Homes in Proberta. i. wemy-six Indiana Harborltes are on their way to California, having left yesterday on a special car headed for Proberta, that state where they will make their homes. There are others from this region also In the party, but the bulk of those departing on this special car are Indiana Harbor residents, whose departure will make quite ajdent in the circles to which they belong. The party Includes Richard Volbrecht and family of five: Mrs. Brown of Clark Station, sister of Bruno Schrelber of In diana Harbor, and family of four; i Charles Franklin and family, J. M. Sage j and family, C. M. Page and family, the' last named from Gary, and C. A. Mason ! and family of Crown Point. Next fall j quite a few more will be added from ! these parts, to the little colony which! has decided to settle down to the life , of fruit raisers in the pleasant land cf , the Golden West. Most of the members of the party, who met in Chicago, are going to California more for the beneftt of the delightful climate there, than fori the other advantages offered. The land on which the little colony will settle was all purchased In parcels of varying sizes from James Mitchell Hoyt, who controls several thousand acres in the orange, olive and fig belt. Incidentally the California l&nd owner has shown his faith in Indiana Harbor to the extent of purchasing several pieces of property here for which he paid in the neighborhood of $2C,000. Among them is the store building of Richard Volbrecht in Michigan avenue near Grapevine street. MILLER TO HAVE NEW STEEL BRIDGE The town of Miller Is to have a new steel and concrete bridge which will span the Grand Calumet at Lake avenue, near Miller's famous "Palm beach."

The commissioners expressed themselves favorably toward the improvement and plans and specifications will be drawn up at once. The present bridge, the first one in Miller to span the Grand Calumet, was completed in 1897 shortly after Mayor!
