Fred Dean, awell known resident, of Eveline township, committed tnul lJe Monday afternoon last by shout ing himself through the heart. Mr. Deau had lived on his farm jiear Ironton for several years. About three months ago he purchased the large farm of I. Mitchell in the tame township. Mr. X)ean had not been In the bet jot health lately and several times iiad been heard to make the remark that he was ready to die. He was about fifty years of age and leaves a wife and four children, iter tha, Charles and Datus of Charlevoix count?, and Mrs. Wilson who resides in the southern part of the state. Coroner Armstrong held an inquest, the jury bringing in a verdict that he committed euicide while suffering from mental vheratlon. . The funeral was held Thursday. A MODERN STORE. We wonder If our citizens are awake to the fact that there have been a great many improvements made In our business places during the pst summer and do we realize how much is really being done? We wonder if the same Improve ments had been taking place inside the stores and with the object In ' view of finding out, we stepped into one of our principal business places the other day and as we started in, we could not help but notice the in gepuity displayed in the arrangement of Wds In the window. We'told the merchant as we went In Jus) what we had come for and he ioviud us to look through his store. He told us before starting in, thai stores are not just a place where goods are stored waiting for people to come : and buy, but that they are really spe laity shops where maiy?cturers dis play their best goods, and this ve loiind to be true upon Investigation. We could not help but notice in talking with this mercnant, that he called 'his merchandise. "Lines of goods", as "Lines of shoes", "Lines or clothing", "Lines of hat." The first of these lines to draw our attention was the shoe line which filled nearly the whole space on one side of the store. Uncertainly werei surprised to see how many different kin4& it takes to complete a Hue of shoes. To Illustrate He showed us one kind of shoe in just one style, In one make which takes from $30.00 to $40.00 worth to have the sizes in just this one line and when you come to consider all of the styles aud all of the widths and the different priced shoes that this merchant has on his shelves, it looks as though it would keep him busy to keep track of just this line alone. Our attention was then directed to the large racks or clothing, and while we had been surprised at the (ize or the shoe stock, we are certainly amazed at the size of the clothing 6tocic as we had no idea that such an amount of clothing was carried by any one merchant in our city. Next we were shown the lines of men's ready-to-wear garments such as shirts, collars, neckties, underwear, sweaters and other accessories that go to make up a man's wardrobe, and found as large a stock of these things ai.tJifi stores In many of the larger citna are showing' Our attention was then turned to the dry goods department and there we found the most perfect arrange ment of corsets, hoserv, piece goods, silks, ribbons, laces and everything you can think of that would be hand led in a department of this kind. We went, up stairs and took a look and then went down stairs and took another look aud found clear through this up to date store, the same per fect arrangement in all of the various lines. The merchant told us that there Is no such thlm? anv more as hit-or-nilss buying, but goods are specialty goods ana oy tins tie said he meant, goods that arc put out hy a manufacturer with some special feature that elves them prominence and thoroughly re- jiaoie reatures. We must admit we were highly en. tertalned as well as enlltrhtened and vfJd say to anyone who is not thoroughly posted on what is eolntr 00 by way of Improvements In our city, tnat they would find a trip like this not only Interesting, but profit able as well. Tne particular store that we visited, was the store of Fred "THE SQUAW MAN' In The Squaw Man" which comes to the Temple Theatre uext Monday evening, Nov. 13th, one finds a play of the West replete with types and characters of that region, and with a spice of novelty that Is far too Infre quent upon the stagte. Strangely enough, for that Is true, a drama that touches on the teeming strenuousity of the Wyoming territory, there is little of the swashbuckling element in the play. While thern is a bad man and a sheriff, and several cow punch ers, one misses the rip-roaring terrify ing dash of personalities that is ex pected In a Western play. In fact, there is no hint of coarxe ruffianism so often to he found in plays of this description, and while the emotions areslimd by many moving climaxes, these arc safely side-tracked in an artistic maimer bv the dramatist un til they satisfy the sense without shocking the nerves. Edwin Milton lloyle who wrote the play, has admit tedly done the best work of his career in "The Squaw Man," which by the way, was evolved from a short one-act piece Mr. lloyle wnte for the Lambs Gambol lu New York quite four years ago. He has built up a drama that is of the heroic mould, and which moves steadily forward with an inexorable purpose until the plot has been filled out in a satisfactory manner down to the last detail. There is no point that is left uncovered, but just a nood whole-souled, clean and salislying picture of men aud things that, moves the auditor irresistibly and carries him along. It i a play that deals with men as they are, and points to the dormant something that lies at the bottom of every man s soul when there is u woman somewhere in his life. While the hrit act is laid in England, the last three are placed happily iu Wyoming, in the heart of the cattle countiv as it was some twenty years ago, and the character of the British Army officer, who for love of his brother's wife, deliberately sad dles himself with a crime of which he is innocent and buries himself in the West, is splendidly drawn and ably handled.

A GRKAT DISCOVERY Certain Ingredients That Really Promote Hair Growth when Properly Combined Rcsorcin is one of the most effective germ distroyeis ever discovered jy science, and in connection with Beta Napl hol, which is bot h germicidal and antiseptic, a combination Is formed which destroys the germs which rob the hair of its natural nourishment, and aleo creates a clean, healthy con dition of the scalp, which prevents the developement of new germs. Hllocarpln, although not a coloring matter or dye, is a well-known Ingre dient for restoring the hair to Its nat ural color, when the loss of hair has been caused by a disease of the scalp. These ingredients in proper com bination, with alchol added as a stim ulant and for Its well-defined nourish ing properties, perfect perhaps the most effective remedy that is known for scalp and hair troubles. We have a remeJy which is chiefly composed of these Ingrcdgents, in com bination with other extremely lu valu able medical agents. We guarantee It to positively cure dandruffand to grow hair, even though the scalp in spots is bare of hair.
