Baldkeaded Row Early Piety Not Always the Cause of Ealdness In Paris there lived a great physician of world wide reknown who proved to the world that falling hair is caused by microbes. Dr. Sagerbund proved that baldness is directly clue to these pernicious and persistent microbes. He proved to every physician on earth that these invisible yet vociferous little devils dug and burrowed into the hair root and finally devoured the hair bulb. This of course destroyed the vitality of the hair which fell out and caused thinning of the hair and finally baldness. Inas much cs it is an accepted fact that baldness, falling hair and dandruff are caused by a germ, doesn't it stand to reason that the only way to prevent such calamities is to kill the germs? And doesn't it stand to reason that the only way to kill these germs is to use Parisian Sage, which L. H. Fine has so much fnit'i in that he guarantees it to cure dandruff, falling hair and itching scalp in two weeks, or money back? Parisian Sage is a delightful hair tonic and is pleasant to use. It is not sticky or greasy, and contains only those ingredients that will surely benefit. It is now sold by druggists all over America, and by L. H. Fihe for 50 cents a large bottle. It is used extensively by women who desire luxuriant hair with a radiant luster. The girl with the Auburn hair is on every package. S SQUARE MILES OF THE CAPITAL ARE UKDER WATER (Continued From Page One.) six feet deep in places. From this point, too, runs the Rue Royale, which has collapsed for blocks, prohibiting the night life of Paris. Maxim's restaurant, Durand's and others as famous, are inundated. Cutting in another direction in the Place de la Concorde is the Rue Rivoli, which for a great distance is now a trench where the Metropolitan subway has given way. r. Fashionable Part. In the Place itself stand some of the most famous of Parisian clubs and hotels the automobile club, the La Cercle des Epatants, the hotel Crillon. among them. Members and guests have been driven to refuge at safer points. The ministry of marine, a magnificent edifice, is in the forefront of the endangered buildings. The water laps the obelisk betore it mate of Cleopatra's Needle in Central Park, New York. The residence of Baron Rothschild near the opera house, has no better fate. Xearby are the Tuilleries and the gardens flooded likewise. This, the very heart of Parisian life is a field of water whose only life is the force of police, troops and workmen struggling to lessen the danger. From it ramify streets, boulevards and places famed the world over, containing the best examples of architecture in Paris. All are under water or threatened with collapse the column of July, La Madeline, t he Palais Royale, the Elysee Palace, the Chatelet, the hotel De Ville. News that the River Maine had dropped one meter more than 3 feet) was received today and brought joy with it. The weather this morning was cold and fine. The Seine continued to fall steadily but slowly and at noon a decrease of five inches was marked. MUTE TRIBUTE PAID By Richmond People Today to the Memory of William McKinley. CARNATION SALES LARGE Carnation Day in memory of our martyred president, William McKinley was generally observed in Richmond today. The large majority of persons who appeared on the streets wore red carnations in their buttonholes, as a silent tribute to the honor of tne former chief executive. The local greenhouses reported a large sale of the blooms, even larger, it is believed, than last year, when the demand was heavy. The proprietors of several of the larger stores furnished their clerks with bouquets in the form of red carnations and each postman was given a bloom. There were no exercises of any kind and none of the business houses or public offices were closed. Mexico.

HE WANTS TO PROVE HE IS A NOBLEMAN

General Sridovltch, the celebrated Pan-Slavist leader, who wants a fair hearing to explain that is really a Count and has right to the standing he assumes as a nobleman. He has been the target of a great deal of criticism from both Russian and Servian circles in respect to his movemencs to patriotically advance the interests of the Pan-Slavic society. CARLOADS OF BEER ARRIVE AT ELWOOD Wet Goods Shipments Grow Larger Instead of Smaller, It Is Said. TOWN RUNNING OPEN NOW ORATORY IS DOING BUT LITTLE GOOD FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF LAWS SLOT MACHINES ARE OPERATING. Elwood, Ind., Jan. Through an effort to locate five cases of beer that had been stolen from a freight car standing on a Panhandle side track, less than two squares from the depot, it became known this morning that another carload of "wet" goods had been quietly shipped into the city. The car arrived here last Sunday night missing. It is thought that the theft ; Home Storage company. This morn- j ing when the car was examined, it j was found that the seal had been broken and five of the cases were and was full of cases consigned to the was committed some time during last night. Instead of growing smaller the quantity of "wet" goods being received here is steadily growing larger, and a number of private individuals are twice or three times the quantity that could be used for their personal consumption. Obviously there is much illicit trade going on. Slot machines are now running, although unostentatiously, and gambling is flourishing under cover. While the temperance people have laid elaborate plans for their work in stamping out the lawlessness as yet this has gone no further than words. There is a pronounced feeling here that it is not lectures and public meetings that are needed, but a little quiet work which would lead to the arrests for the open and flagrant violations here. It has been several weeks since there has been a '"blind tiger" raid in Elwood and sentiment has reached such a pitch that a number of those who were prominent in the recent option campaign have announced their intention of appealing to Governor Marshall personally in the hopes that some decided steps may be taken towards breaking up the evil soon. PLEASED WITH WORK In response to Invitations sent out from the Whitewater school building, by the different teachers, about fifty patrons spent Friday afternoon visiting the rooms and witnessing the work of the children in the various grades. It was gratifying to the teachers to note the interest manifested by the visitors. The presence of their parents aroused the pupils to do their best and they went through their "stunts" doing not only the three R's in a creditable manner, but marched, sang and put forth extra effort in order to induce other visits to the schooL " Styles In Ailments. "Well, here I am," announced the fashionable physician in his breezy way. "And now what do you think is the matter witn you?" "Doctor, 1 hardly know," murmured the fashionable patient.

EXPECT BIG CROWD

Hundreds Will Attend the Lincoln League Affair at Columbus, nd. MEETING IS NEXT MONTH (Palladium Special) Indianapolis. Jan. 29. According to; E. E. Xeal. state president of the In-j diana Lincoln league, the attendance j at the annual meeting of the league j at Columbus, February 12 wil! be probably the biggest in the history of the organization. Mr. Xeal thinks that this' augurs well for the future of the re- j publican party. He believes there is more interest in republican politics , than there has been for many years i and he believes also that there will be no lack of republican candidates for state offices after the meeting of the league has been held. Delegates will attend the league meeting this year from every congressional district in the state. Some counties, Vigo for example, will send as many as lOu republicans and there probably will be 2.000 or 3,000 republicans at the meeting. It is expected also, that as a result of this meeting, county branches of the league will be started in counties where the league has never been active before. At least it is hoped that this will be one of the outcomes of the meeting. Mr. Xeal has just received word that Frank Tilley of Terre Haute wi'l represent the fifth congrejsional district at the league banquet. E. F. Branch of Martinsville, speaker of the house of representatives in the session of 1907 will be another of the speakers at the banquet. Mr. P.ranch is prominently mentioned ?s a candidate for congress from the fifth district. RAISE BIG FUND English government Will Back Scott in Dash for the South Pole. START FROM NEW ZEALAND ALREADY THERE HAS BEEN CONTRIBUTED TO THE FUND BETWEEN $130,000 AND $140,000 A MOTOR SLEDGE. (American News Service) London, Jan. -'0. With the government grant of $100,000 towards the cost of Captain Scott's Antarctic expereach between $i;$0.00 and $140,ooo. This practically insures the departure of the expedition next July, although Captain Seitt will try to raise an extra $tk,JOO in the meantime. It has been decided definitely that the base of the expedition will be at Christ Church. New Zealnad. A motor sledge is being constructed and will be ready in February for trials which will take place in Norway. On the success of these trials which Captain Scott will superintend in person, will depend the construction of similar sledges. Preliminary arrangements have been made for the purchase of other sledges, and also for fur clothing in Norway. The Scientific Staff. With regard to the scientific staff, plans are being pushed forward as speedily as possible. Special attentention is being paid to the photographic and wireless telegraphy apparatus, and to various modern instruments which may be of use. Scott in a recent interview, "has now become a national undertaking, and there should be no difficulty in raising the balance of money required. It will, of course, be an all-British expedition in every respect. "The money already collected or promised is sufficient to equip the ship for the voyage. After coaling at Cardiff she will proceed south by the Cape of Good Hope, Australia and New Zealand. "The probable date of departure from New Zealand for the dash for the Pole will be in December, and by this time next year I hope to be within the region of the great Barrier."' SENATOR TO RETURN (Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Jan. 29. It was reported today that Senator Beveridge probably would be in Indianapolis by the early part of next week. The reorganization of the state committee will be effected on Thursday and it is understood that the senator will be here at the time the committee meets and it is probable that several political conferences will be held. It is still the understanding that Henry W. Bennett of Indianapolis, is to be the state chairman, although several other men are mentioned for the place. Mr. Bennett, it is said stands the best chance for the place on account of his business ability and his keen executive powers. If he is elected. Mr. Bennett, it is understood, would confer with other leaders of his party before appointing an executive committee. A Good Motto. Every one ought to have a motto of his own. Mr. Rnskln's was a good one "Today."

POOD FOR COLLIER'S Seven hundred and seventy-five deliveries made for twelve cents is a record established at the Postoffice, which possibly is not equaled by any other in the United States. Second class mail privileges have been secured for the Young Men's Christian Association publication, the Monitor, and each week, seven hundred and seventy-five copies are delivered by city mail carriers. As the rate on second class matter is but one cent a pound, and the entire publication weighs but twelve pounds, the mail amounts to but twelve cents. CAPTURE A LUNATIC Henry Bierman, an escaped lunatic from Dr. Thiesing's sanitarium at Cincinnati, was arrested yesterday afternoon by Patrolman Westenberg at the Panhandle depot after causing some excitement there by his peculiar actions. The man was formerly an inmate of Easthaven. He is not violent, but was very stubborn when taken custody by the officer. He admitted that he had been hanging around the station for several days. Bierman was returned to Cincinnati last evening. GIVEN HER DIVORCE Although originally asking for $2,500 alimony. Mrs. Willa Myrtle Swisher waived this point this afternoon in her divorce action against Ira Swisher, a w ell known theatrical stock company proprietor. The divorce was granted, failure to provide being the grounds. The case required but a few minutes for trial. The demand for alimony was not presented because it was stated In court that Mr. Swisher did not have the required amount of property. INCREASE IN WAGES. Pittsburg, Jan. 23.

MINERS WRANGLE AT A CONVENTION Vice President Hayes Makes a Personal Attack on President Lewis. DENIES CAUSING TROUBLE BUT ORGANIZER JAMES JUMPS UP AND SAYS THAT HE HEARD HAYES INCITING DELEGATES ON TO REBELLION. (American News Service) iuuiauapoiis. Jan. :. lae lc is j and anti-Lewis fueling ia the Mine Workers" convention came to a climax at today's session when delegate Frank J. Hayes of Illinois, the recently elected vice-president, lined up with the insurgents and indulged In a personal scrap with President Lewis. Hayes had heard last evening during a -bar room conversation, that Lewis had charged him with sitting in the rear of the hall yesterday and Inciting the delegates to rebellion against the! chair during that stormy session. Walking to the front of the hall this morning and pointing his finger at President Lewis, the delegate demanded to know whether Lewis had made the statement referred to, by saying that information had come to him yesterday t.at an organized attempt was being made to break up the convention. Lewis Remained Mum. Lewis could not give the name of the delegate who had given him the information but the vice president told the convention that unless the man who made the statement apologized to the convention he would make his name known at this afternoon's session. Hayes also made a long plea for harmony and for progress with convention business. Tom James, an organizer, finally appeared on the platform and said he was the man who heard Hayes tell the delegates to "Stay with them, boys; we've got them coming." After considerable wrangling over what construction could be put on Hayes remark, the convention got down to business and the convention concurred In the report of President Lewis as recommended by the committee on officers annual reports. This was a victory for the Lewis faction, showing superior voting strength. Loud applause greeted the announcement. Congressman William B. Wilson addressed the convention on Invitation today. HONOR FOR CHARLES City Engineer Invited to Deliver Address Before Cement Users. WILL PROBABLY ACCEPT Fred Charles, city engineer, has been ' invited by Richard L. Humphreys of ; Philadelphia, president of the National i Association of Cement Users, to read a I paper before the sixth annual convenj tion of the association at Chicago, ) February -l-2.

The invitation is a high honor and duly appreciated by the recipient. Mr. Humphreys was prompted to invite him to read the paper, owing to Mr. Charles' excellent address at a recent gathering in Indianapolis. Mr. Charles will probably accept.

There a public reception will be tendered them. A HUGE STAR FALLS Grand Forks, X. D.. Jan. 29. Residents of Foster County, w ho had occasion to be up at 2 o'clock in the morning, were treated to a spectacular exhibition they will not soon forget. A monster meteor sixty-five inches in diameter and weighing many tons buried itself in the earth to a depth of cix feet about Beven miles worthwest of Carrington. The attention of near observers was attracted by the dazzling light from the heavenly visitor, which, for a full minute before it struck the ground, illuminated the entire country for miles around as light as day. The huge ball took on all colors of tho rainbow and traveled with tremendous speed but without perceptible noise. The concussion when it struck tho ground, however, was terrific, the noise taking the form of a heavy roar. The vibrations of tho earth, occasioned by the collision, awoke many inhabitants, who generally supposed they were caused by an earthquake shock. The meteor kept hot for more than .twenty-four hours after its fall. It now has the appearance of dull red ore. Hundreds of residents of the county are driving to the scene daily to inspect the curiosity. WHAT'S THE REASON? For the first time in about three months the Hoboes Retreat, namely, the basement of the city building, was not visited by any Knights of the Road last night. When Chief of Police Gormon prepared to make hi regular morning talk to the bunch of bums, who line up every morning In, the small court room, and pin the skiddo tag to their buttonholes, the big chief almost fainted when told that he had no audience. It is hoped that the tramps have scratched Richmond off their visiting list. However it is expected that tonight the usual number will apply for a berth near the welcome heat of the big furnace and that the relief afforded the officers was only temporary. HUNTING LOST GIRL f American News Service) Chicago. Jan. 20. Four thousand Chicago policemen are engaged today in a city-wide hunt for a five-year old girl, who has been missing since 4 1 o'clock Thursday afternoon and for an old man who is believed to have kidnapped her. The girl is Clara Kile, daughter of a carpenter living at Al West Chicago avenue. The kidnapping theory Is based oa the fact that Irene Andreen. a nine-year-old playmate of the missing girl took her away from an old man on two occasions the last time only an hour or two before she was reported missing. This man had repeatedly offered her pennies and candy to bo with him.
