!K RUTH II GRAB ACGEP1S SIMIIII FROM lit BURL1UGT0H III II Receives $400 in Settlement for Her Claim Against the Company for the Death of Her Husband, Tracey Graham, in the Shop Yards in This City Some Time Ago. On Tuesday last Ruth May Ora ham, widow and administratrix of the estate of Tracy Allen Gra ham, the young Burlington fire man, wno was run. over and Killed in the yards February 27th last, filed a suit in the county court, praying a judgment of $100 dam ages. Mrs. Graham alleged in her petition the facts brought out at the coroner's inquest. That her husband was going to his work, which was that of fireman, and rightfully walking on the com pany's track. That the engine which ran over him was operated by the company's agents, and that while running at an unwarranted rate of speed, with no warning whatever, negligently ran over and mangled the deceased, inflict ing wounds from which he died within a few hours. She also al leged that Mr. Graham was earn ing $1,000 per year, which was the only source of maintenance for herself and husband. Alleg ing that plaintifT had been dam aged in the sum of $400. Summons was issued by Judge Beeson at once and made return able on the first Monday in May, but a few minutes later Attorney Robertson, for the company, filed an answer, denying negligence on the part of the company and al leging negligence on the part of deceased. Witnesses were present, includ ing Mr. Majors, the engine hostler, who was in charge of the engine at the time the accident occurred, Mrs. Graham and others. The plaintiff was rep resented by G. A. Rawls, attorney Majors testified that at the point where the engine struck de ceased he could not be seen from the position the hostler was oc cupying at the time. He also testified that Mr. Graham was in the habit of walking with his head down and in a preoccupied state. At the time referred to the engine was backing from the round-house to the coal chutes, coasting along at about eight miles an hour, with steam shut off. After hearing the evidence, journal entry of the judgment prepared by the attorneys was presented and a draft for $ 400, the amount of the judgment, turned over to the court, who en dorsed the draft to Mrs. Graham and took her receipt for the judg ment. The matter was all closed up within a short time. ft PROPOSITION 1 ARE MICROBES IH YOUR SCALP? It Has Been Proved That Microbes Cause E'aldness. Professor Una of Hamburg, Germany, and Dr. Sabourand, the leading French ' dermatologist, discovered dial a microne causes baldness. Their theory has time and again been-amply verified through research experiments carried on under the observation of eminent scientists. This microbe lodges in the Sebum, which is the natural hair oil, and .when permilted to-flourish it 'de-' slroyes the hair follicles and in time the pores entirely close, and the scalp gradually takes on a shiny appearance... When this happens there is no hope of the growth of hair being revived. We have a remedy which will, we honestly believe, remove dand ruff, exterminate the microbe, promote good circulation in the scalp and around the hair roots, tighten and revitalize the hair roots, and overcome baldness, so long as there is any life left in the hair roots. We back up this statement with our own personal guarantee that this ermedy called . Rexall "03" Hair Tonic will be supplied free of all cost to the user if it fails to d as we state. It will frequently help to re store gray and faded hair to its original color, providing loss of color has been caused by disease; yet it is in no sense a dye. Rexall "03" Hair Tonic accomplishes these results by aiding in making every hair root, follicle and pig ment gland strong and active, and by stimulating a natural flow of coloring pigment throughout the hair cells. We exact no obligations or promises we simply ask you to give Rexall "03" Hair Tonic a thorough trial arid if not satisfied tell us and we will refund the money. you paid us for it. Two sizes, prices 50 cents and $1.00 Remember, you can obtain it in Plallsmouth only at our store The Rexall Store. F. G. Fricke & Co., Union Block. I SiUlDOOPTEO An Amedment to Constitution Creating Board of Commission ers for State Institutions. All voters interested in the wel fare of our state hospitals, peni tentiary, reformatory institu tions, etc., are urged to take an active interest in the adoption of Amendment No. 3 on the ballot this year, entitled "A Proposed Amendment to the Constitution of Nebraska Creating a Board of Commissioners for State Institu tions." The adoption of this amend ment will have the effect of plac ing the control of these institu tions in the hands of a board which will have for its object the placing of superintendents and employes in the institutions on the merit system. This will be in contradistinction to the method heretofore in vogue in Nebraska whereby the institutional posi tions have been looked upon as perquisites to be dealt out in the form of rewards for those who were most active politically. In other states it has long been recognized that as nearly as pos sible these appointments should be governed by merit and that non-partisan control contributes to the efficiency of management and renders the conduct of such institutions more economical than where frequent changes in ad ministration are made for political or other reasons. Amendment No. 3 as already pointed out offers a solution for this difficulty in Nebraska and should have the vole and active support of everyone interested in the conduct of our stale., institu tions. .
