Asked in Quo Warranto
Proceedings.
iLlncoIn, Neb., June 22. (Special
Telegram.) The state supreme

quo warranto proceedings brought
hy- the attorney general to restrain
Taul and Lloyd Skinner and the ex
ecutive board of the Skinner tack
ing company from transacting any
l.usiness of the company or molest
in? its money or securities or con
cealing its book.
This is practically the same kind
of an order as was granted last
week by the court against the Skin
ner company, except that it goes
farther and seeks to dissolve the
company, sell the same with the as
sets and divide it among the real
stockholders a4id asks that three dis
interested trustees be appointed to
take charge of the disposal of the
property of the company.
The application also charges that
stockholders in the old company
were prevailed upon to change their
stock to the new company under
misrepresentation and contrary to
the laws of the state.
G. T. Touvclle, representing the
securities bureau, and Assistant At
torney General Laverty went to
Omaha to serve the papers. Attor
ney General Davis was in Omaha
Tuesday, where he conferred with
the committee of stockholders, who
in a Signed statement approve the
action of the attorney general i
t ringing the proceedings.

A Simple Way to
Remove Dandruff
There is one sure' way that has"
never failed to remove dandruff at
once, and that is to dissolve it, then
you destroy it entirely. To do this,
just get about four ounces of plain,
common liquid arvon from any drug
store (this is all you will heed), ap
ply it at night when retiring: uso
enough to moisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
By morning most, if not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely de
stroy every single sign and trace of
it, no matter how much dandruff
you may have.
You will find all itching and dig
ging of the scalp will stop instantly,
and your hair will be fluffy, lus
trous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times bet
ter. '
