Should-Convince Even the Most Skep tical of Its Truth. If there Is the slightest doubt in the minds of any that dandruff germs do not exist, their belief is compelled by the fact that a rabbit innoculated with the germs became bald in six week's time. It must be apparent to any person therefore that the only prevention of baldness 1st the destruction of the germ which act Is successfully ac complished in 100 per cent of cases by the application of Newbro's Herpicide. DandTUff is caused by the same germ which causes baldness and can be pre vented with the same remedy New bro's Herpicide. Accept no substitute. "Destroy the cause you remove the effect."

Every factory in Moline that would be seriously ham pered if the threatened coal strike oc curs, is busy storing a reserve supply of coal to carry through the summer. In the larger factories the reserve sup ply that is being accumulated runs in to thousand of tons. The Moline Plow company alone is accumulating not only enough coal to carry the fac tory through the present season which ends July 1, but also 2,000 tons for use thereafter. In view of the fact that the implement factories are not as ac tive during the summer months as during the remainder of the year, the Plow company's surpJy will carry It into the fall.

Hotto. 544 Fifteenth avenue. The groom was a former employe of Shal lene brothers. They are at present making their home with Mrs. William Dixon, at 1317 Seventh avenue.

They were very desirous that Instead of marrying, she should con tinue her musical studies, wherein she was giving great promise. But possibly the usual blessing will be forthcoming ere long.

Opens Flowing Well. Consider able excitement was caused in Silvis Thursday afternoon, when Deck, the well dicirer. struck an artesian well on the property of II. D. Bennett, at a depth of 35 feet. The water spurted out with sufficient force to raise the larce derrick, which weighs about 1.C0O pounds, and continues to flow steady stream that could hardly be car ried awav with a two-inch pipe. The stream seems to be increasing and an effort Is being made to cap the well and stop the flow until the water Iz wanted for use. Many Go North. Preparations are being made by a great many people to go north this spring and homestead farms in South Dakota.

Parkhurst and Jack Hedin are in the north at present looking over the land for a suitable site for the crowd to locate. Parties will begin to leave about the middle of April. Not Ready to Incorporate. No at tempt will be made to incorproate Sil vis this spring and it will probably not come before the people until next fall. The promoters of the proposition are meeting with considerable opposition among the residents of the railroad town, who do not fancy the idea of be coming a village just yet. Numerous reasons are being given out by those opposed to the deal. The fact that the residents are building homes and are burdened with that debt is one of the chief causes. They desire to have their property clear of debt before the place is incorporated and more tax is imposed. When the place is incorpo rated the prospects for an electric plant and a water works system are bright, and this improvement would mean assessments- that could not be met very readily.
