Many hair preparations arc "fnko" he-
causo they are merely sculp Irritants. They
often cause a dryness, making the hair
brittle, mid, finally, lifeless. Dandruff Is
the cause of nil trouble with hair. It Is a
germ disease. The germ makes cuticle
scales ns It digs to tho root of tho hair,
where It destroys the hair's vitality, causing
the hnlr to fall out. To cure dandrulT, the
germ must bu killed. "Destroy the cause,
you remove tho effect." Ncwbro's Ilerplcldo
Is the only hnlr preparation that kills tho
dandruff germ, thereby leaving tho hnlr to

The snow storm of Saturday night and

Frank Iloone. of South Omaha, wanted In
Omahn for twenty-tlvc or moro Jobs of
"room-working," was arrested at his home
Monday evening and taken to tho city Jail
by Detective Jorgensen. llooney Is said to
havo operated In Omaha and Council UlulTs
tho Inst yenr nnd many Jobs nrc charged up
lo him by thu police of both cities. The
method which ho Is accused of working Is
to rent a room In n private residence under
tho pretense that he works at nloht, thus
being compelled to sleep In tho daytime.
He looks over tho houso carefully when
opportunity offers nnd nt tho opportune
time. It Is alleged, disappears with all tne
money left nbout and nil tho articles of
value ho can carry nwny. His familiarity
with tho surroundings, gained whllo ho Is
supposed to bo asleep, enables him to es
cape without detection, though In nearly
every ense tho people of the house can fur
nish u good description of him. Mnny of
these descriptions nre on file nt tho police
station and ltooney tallies with them.
Ho admits that bo has done muny of the
Jobs that nro attributed to him, but claims
ho was drunk at tho time. If this Is the
case, tho pollco say, ho must havo been lu
chronic stnto of Intoxication. A number
of people whom Kooncy has robbed will bo
taken to tho station to Identify him, so
that he may be arraigned. As ho has al
ways been careful to confine his operations
within the petty larceny limit the worst
that can happen to him Is a county Jail
sentence.
ltooney was surprised nbout five years
ngo whllo making his "get away" with somo
plunder from n houso near Seventeenth and
Cass streets and was arrested after n hard
chase. Putrnttnau Hloom. who in nil o tho
catch, stopped Hooncy with a chunk of coal,
which landed on his head. Hooncy served a
Jail sentence for this Job.

Ono llttlo man stood behind all tho rest
of tho guests nnd waited patiently until I
hnd sent nil tho others to bed. Ho was n
slight man with a short beard. Ho quietly
nsked mo for a room. I had but ono room
left and It wns fur from desirable. I ex

" 'Hns tho room a bed In it?' ho asked.

Many stories, somo truo nnd others de
cidedly fanciful, nro told of Scott Jackson,
a colored man who was a flro department
driver for aomo months nbout three years
ago. He wns attached to No. 11 hoso com
pany, composed exclusively of colored men,
then stationed nt Twenty-seventh and Jones
streets nnd now at Thirtieth nnd Spalding
streets. Scott was a rapid fellow and
stopped for nothing when answering nn
nlnrm. In fnct, his exceeding swiftness
was tho cause of his leaving tho depart
ment. It Is said of Scott that ho ncvor paused
when ho camo to a red light In tho street,
showing where an excavntlon had been
made. It wns his custom to cnll out to tho
men on tho wugon, "IIoP on, now, nlggnhs,
we'so gwlno to Jump n hole," nnd then
drlvo ncross the obstruction nt break-neck
speed. After his wagon had been sent to
tho shops a fow times for rcpnlra ho wns
remonstrated with, but his roply was, "Yo'
want to keep dem red lights outen do street
ef yo' don' want 'em runned ovah. Ah
ain't got no tlmo to tuhn out when Ah'm
agoln to a flnli."
Hardly a flro happened but that Scott's
wagon did not receive Bucb a sovero shak
ing that ono or moro of tho men would bo
thrown off before the flro was reached.
His greatest exploit in this lino occurred
nt tho tlmo of a flro In tho Wcarno foundry
nt Fourteenth nnd Juckson streets. He left
tho house at Twcnty-soventh nnd Jones
streets when tho ulnrm struck nnd turned
Into Lcnvenworth with tho horses on tho
keen Jump ns usual. At Twentieth street
nn obstruction wns encountered which took
off a wheel nnd threw every man, except
Driver Juckson, from tho wugon. Ho looked
neither right, loft nor to tho rear, but
kept straight ahead, ond credible eye wit
nesses say that ho and his three-wheeled
wagon arrived at tho flro ahead of nil tbo
apparatus from No. 3 cnglno houso at
Eighteenth and Harney streets, which was
many blocks nearer the fire.
Noting tho Inactivity of No. 11, the chief
addressed to Caldwell and ho had no moro
than disappeared from view when a West
en Union hoy stuck his head In tho door
nnd asked for Mr. Caldwell. Tho sum total
of tho nftcrnoon's telegraphic receipts was
ten messages, all for Caldwell.
They remained unopened on his desk
placed In the order of their receipt. When
6 o'clock camo Rutherford and McNully held
a consultation over tho matter.
"I think wo'd better open them, 'Mac.,'
It may bo como Important railroad busi
ness," said Mr. Rutherford, "and we might
bo nblo to nttend to it for Caldwell. It's
a cinch that It's somothlng Important, for
Caldwell nover got so many telegrams bo
foro In bin life all paid, too, that's what
makes It n greater mystery to me."
"Well, if Fred wnsn't married I could
understand it," returned McNally, "hut tin
der tho circumstances 1 guess wo'd better
sco what's mi."
So they opened the telegrams, beginning
with tho bottom ono nnd going nil through
Knch ono deepened the mystery. All snld
somuthlng about "Don." "Don" had been
found, safo and sound, nnd had been sent
homo on the Hurllngton. This wns the drift
of tho messnges. Knch was from a different
Bender nnd nil tho signatures wero recog
nlzed as thoso of Kansas City railroad men
"What or who fell is Don?" was tho
query propounded by ono man to tho
other. Hut thero was no answer vouch
bu fed.
Finally tho last message wns reached
It read: "Send Don's collar bnck tmtncdl
ntely. Horrowcd It."
Tho mystery wns solved. Hoth Huther
ford nnd McNnlly remembered thnt Cnld
well had lost a highly-prized dog on his
last visit to Kansas City nnd It wns tho
recovery of tho animal und his return to
ttic rlgntful owner that furnished tho oc
cnslon for so much telegraphing. Tho dog'
name was Don. That's what made th
western union operator bcllovo he was
handling another kidnaping sensation. I
tho name hud been "Hover" or "Fldo" or
home Bimilur conlne title the mistake would
not hnvo bcej made.

Thirty-one mills Is the lax levy which a

This year tho Hoard of Kducatlon has

City Engineer Andrew Hosewnter pre

"Is It not a fnct that you aro on nctlvc

tlculnrly serious and nn Improvement In
his condition wns reported last night.
la grippe:
11EHE is no disease more neglected and yet there is none that
tieeds more careful attention. La Grippe and pneumonia
have been the cause of more deaths in the past few ycarH
than all the wars of half a century. It is to be greatly
leaded because of the dangerous after-effects. Colds are liable
o develop into either of these dreaded diseases and it is not safe
to neglect them. The most successful treatment -which has yet
been discovered is the proper use of Dr. Kay's Lung Harm. It
is a specific for this disease. It should be taken as early as pos
sible, and if it is only an ordinary cold it will cure at once. If
the case should be inclined to develop into la grippe or pneumo
nia, one dose should bo taken every half hour until five or six
doses have been taken, unless sooner relieved, nnd then a dose
should be taken every hour and a little later every two hours,
and continue later every three hours until the disease is entirely
tired. When these directions are followed, la grippe or pneu
monia, or any hard cold is at once cured. It has never yvt had
an equal in such cases.
When there is feverishness and you are inclined to be consti-
Kited take Dr. Kay's Renovator in sufficiently largo doses to
evacuate the bowels freely, and continue with the Dr. Kay's Lung
talm to stop the cough.
The after effects of la crippe, in thoso cases whoro tlio
Teat ment has been neglected, are very serious, in fact wo know
of no disease which leaves the patient in such a deplorable con
dition. To cure ppermnnently the after effects of la grippe you
should renovate your system thoroughly with Dr. Kay's Innova
tor and take Dr. Kay's Lung Imlm between meals for any lung
or throat complication.
All who have had la grippe and have been left in a diseased
condition because of it should write to us for a copy of Dr. Kay's
Homo Treatment, which will be sent free of charge. This book
nves full directions how to cure all such cases. Our treatment
has been the most successful in such cases of any which we have
any knowledge and no person suffering with the after effects of
a grippe can afford to neglect this matter.
If a cold or la grippe is treated as Ave have above suggested,
the patient will not. be left with a chronic cough and in a weak
ened and debilitated condition, but in a short time will be as
well as ever, with no reminder of la grippe or pneumonia.
Do not fail to read the article on la grippe and the testimonials
of those we have treated for this disease, in our book. It may
save you not only large doctors' bills and months of illness, but
may save your life. Sold by druggists.
