ting work to proceed whenever this

completion of which, the jointures
at the intersection of Main can be
made.
Mr. Haa^ stated, in connection
with replacing of poles along those
thoroughfares in conformance with
the widening of sidewalks, that the
short delay has been because of non-
arrival of the new poles, which, now,
however, are on the ground, and
will replace the old without further
delay. The new poles are heavier
than the old, and when in use w'li
be made to present a more attractive'
appearance than the old.

San Francisco, April 18.—The most
distinguished party of Chinamen that
lias visited the United tSaa* In a
dozen years will make a tour of the
country, paying special attention to
schools and military organizations.
Arriving at this port April 22, the Chi-
nese commission will slowly make its
way eastward. Before the tour is
over it is planned that every state In
the union will be visited by members
of the party. Lord Li Hung Tal heads
th party, with Gnral Ha Hang Chang,
son of th lat Li Hung Chang, chief
of staff, of the Chinese army, in equal
power. In sending the commission to
America the Chinese government an-
nounces that It is anxious to have its
members learn war methods of this
country along with a study of the,
school system. Since China has plac
ed herself on a war footing of 22,000.-
000 men, the government officials de
clare much investigation is required
to make the new move practical.

FOR YOUR HAIR
Here Are Facts We Want You to
Prove at Our Risk.
Marvelous as it may seem, Rexall
"93" Hair Tonic has grown hair on
heads that were once bald. Of course
it is understood that in none of
these cases were the hair roots lead
nor had the scalp taken on a glazel,
shiny appearance.
When the roots of the hair are en-
tirely dead and the pores of the scalp
are glazed over, we do not believe
that anything can restore hair
growth.
When Rexall "93" Hair Tonic will
do as above stated, it is not strange
that we have such great faith In it
and that we claim It will prevent
baldness when used In time. It acts
scientifically, destroying the germs
which are usually responsible for
baldness. It penetrates to the roots
of the hair, stimulating It and nour-
ishing them. It is a moat pleasant
' .Ilet necessity, is delicately perfum-
ed and will not gum nor permanent-
ly stain the hair.
We want you to get a bottle of
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic and use It
is directed, If It does not relieve
scalp Irritation, remove dandruff,
prevent the hair from falling out and
promote an increased growth of hair
and in every way give entire satis-
faction, simply come back and tell
.is and without question or formality
ve will hand ba< k to you every pen-
iy you paid us for it.
We lend our endorsement to Rex-
■II "93" Hair Tonic and sell It on
this guarantee, because we believe It
's th* best hair tonic ever discover-
ed. It comes In two slies, prices 50
•ents and tl.00. Remember you can
■>btaln It only at our store—The Rex-
all Stors. C. L. Rtynolds.

tan Grocery Go. at Waco, was a . isl-
tor in the city yesterday forenoon on
business connected with his local
brand), no other matters, it is under-
stood, engaging his attention while
here.
Says Waco Times-Herald Misrepre-
sented Him.
(Reportorial Note.—For fear that
misconstruction of what follows will
be intentionally made, it should be
understood that Mr. Shear Is quoted
by a gentleman whose repute for ac-
curacy and veracity of expression 18
unquestioned, and Mr. Shear made no
request that publicity be not given;
also that no attempt is intentioned
to discount Mr. Shear's active loy-
alty to Waco.)
While in Waco Sunday in attend-
ance with hit) brother, Mr. F. F.
Downs, at the DowiiB-Fort family re-
union at the home of their aunt, Mr?.
D. E. Fort, to celebrate the natal an-
niversary of Mr. Downs first men-
tioned, Col. P. L. Downs had quite an
extended conference with Mr. Shea'.
It was quite natural that the Tem-
ple-Northwestern and Cotton Belt
"scrap" should have reference in the
subjects they discussed, since Mr.
Downs was just from the "scene of
carnage," meaning the Comanchr
Hamilton,Gatesvllle-Temple rally i
the Interest of the Temple-Northwi
tern proposition at Hamilton on t
preceding day.
Mr. Shear stated to Mr. Downs am
gave reiteration thereto when he
yesterday, that the Waco Times-He
aid had misrepresented him in its i
ports last week anent the purch;
by the Cotton Belt railroad of t
Hamilton N. and S. T. property a
the first named/ railroad's intenth
to extend from Gatesvllle to Hsu

Times-Herald's report In substar.
was that Matt Cooper, Mr. Shear av.
a few other leading busluess men ;
Waco, after a conference with Pr
ident Brittalu of the Cotton Beit, ha
guaranteed a subscription at Waco t
$200,000 of S. N. and S. T. rail v.
bonds as an inducement to the Cot'.
Belt to build the extension referr>.
to. Mr. Shear states that in so f;
as he was concerned no such guar;-
tee wag made; and that "the repo
in the Times-Herald, unauthorized 1
him for the use in that way of til
name, was prepared by Matt Coop<
and George Robinson," the latter 1 •
Ing the editor of the Waco Timet
Herald. Mr. Shear states that he w.'i
invited to the conference attended b,
.President Brittain, Mr. Cooper and
few others at Waco, and the subjer
of a bond subscription by Waco peo
pie wafc discussed; but he was not f
party to such guarantee as was .v
ported, nor has lie so become sine*
that time. Furthermore, sail Mr
Shear, he has been in same way mis
quoted regarding his trip to Gates-
vllle and Hamilton with Cotton Belt
officials and the Waco committer,
since at those places his time was
given In most part to business mat-
ters with his customers.
Mr. Shear was outspoken in saying
that he "is sore" because of having

Horses, Autos, Steam
Launches, used in
Search for Bandits
Special to The Telegram.
San Francisco, April 18.—Sheriffs'
possees of two counties, and an army
of volunteers, on horses, in automo-
biles and steam launches are hunting
roads, hills and bayous for the ban-
dits who yesterday held up the
China-Japan mail train On the Sou-
thern Pacific near Benecia, and rob-
bed it of nine sacks of registered
mail.
The pursuit of the bandits Is very
warm, and a bloody battle between
them and the searchers Is hourly an-
ticipated.
The first report of the hold-up at
Benecia said only two men were en-
gaged In It, but now It is declared a
third bandit remained on the engine
until the train had passed Suisun.
Two suspects have been arrested by
the city marshal of the latter place.
Worse Than Bullets.
Bullets have often caused less suf-
fering to soldiers than the eczsnrt

bruises and plies. 25 cents. Sold by

"Mound City Paint may cost s
trifle more but!"—R. G. HAMILL.
naturally, It has caused injustice tc
him in various ways.
In so far as tfte Temple-North-
western is concerned, Mr. Shear de-
clared, he is wiUinig to go not only
as far, but further than for the Cot-
ton Belt proposition, this way: He
personally lias subscribed $10,000
for Cotton Belt bonds, if they are is-
sued at Waco, the bonds lieing backed
by a guaranty of 95 cents on the dol-
lar. This would make liim st'.uid to
lost $500 on the proposition. On th?
other hand, Mr. Shear offers to do-
nate $750 cash to the Temple-North-
western fund—$250 more out of hi?
pocket, he points out, than for the
Cotton Belt proposition. Tliig sta*e-
ment he made to Mr. Downs and to
others, and while here to Secretlry
Woodali of the Commercial Club up-
on whom he called during the fore-
noon of yesterday. It should be sta-
ted in that connection that his prop-
osition has not been "called," the lo-
cal people advising him that all the
money for the Temple-Northjvestei n
railroad pot has already been sub-
scribed to. Besides Secretary Wood-
all jokingly told Mr. Shear that he
"had overlooked a bet down here,"
in which it is recalled that at the
time when "Temple was sweating
blood during the early efforts fo:-
i:e Temple-Northwestern, he (Mr.
an was several times opportuned
declare what financial assistance
would render, but to tills day his
finite reply had been held in abey-
nce.
The foregoing, as one of the rapid
velopments in the Temple-North
estern and Cotton Belt "horse race"

Water Board Considers
Filtration Plans Today
At a meeting of the board of Wa-
r Commissioners today it ;y will
nslder tbe plans for installation of
fittratlon plant which Is to be lo-
ved jit th® uitjr vump station.
Mr. N. Wiernskiold of Dallas, the
nsulting engineer who has acted
ran advisory capacity for the water
ommissioners in the progress of all
ew work of the municipal water
lant, will be present, together with
B. Greer, general manager of the
Ireer Filter Manufacturing Co. »t
Mttsburg, Pa.
Mr. Greer came into the State early
ii the month by invitation from city
fficials at San Angelo, Brownwootl
nd Corpus Christi, for consultation
egarding the plans at those cities
i'or installing filtration plants In the
water systems. He states that fif-
teen years ago he had charge of 3ucn
plans inaugurated by the T. and P.
railroad at various places between
Fort Worth and El Paso. At that
time, he says, purification of water
for domestic purposes he found In
Texas to be accupying no part in the
minds of the peopde, in fact he found
them generally indifferent, thereto.
In the period of time intervening, he
states, he has found a radical change
in sentiment, the more Important cit-
ies in the State at this time devoting
much attention and outlay of money
to the matter of purffying water for
all purposes. In that respect, said
Mr. Greer, Texas is ranking with the
progressive States in the Union for
conservation of the health of its peo-
ple.
Three years ago Mr. Greers in-
stalled a filtration plant of several
millions gallons capacity at Oklaho-
ma City. It Is piobable that a com-
mittee from the local board of water,
commissioners will be appointed to!
visit Oklahoma City to see that plant j
before proceeding with completion
of the plans here.
East of the Mlssissllppi river, said
Mr. Greer, for many years the
elpal authorities have had actual e*-
perience with the -■best methods foir
water purification and have general-
ly adopted them. The people now
are turning their attention, by Leg-
islature acts and municipal ordin-
ances in conjunction, to the preven-.
tion of pollution of streams, and
therein vast and beneficial strides,
have been made.
He has been requested by the peo-
ple of San Angelo and other places;
visited in the State to furnish them
with copies of such legislative aots,'
and declares H altogether likely that !
those citizens will institute a move-|
ment in the State to have the next j
Legislature follow the precedent of!
the States in the North and East in!
that respect; though perfection of
such measures in Texas could not
be looked for except In years of time.
