OPPONENTS OF CHARTER
ARK CALI/TI» TO NIST AT THK
CITY HAIJ. TONIGHT
Steps Will 1)0 Taken to IVevent tlie
Passage of the I‘ending
Legislation
Denison, Feb. 2.r>.—Opponents of
the proposed amendments to the
city charter, now embodied In a
bill pending before the lower house
of the legislature at Austin, have
been called to meet tonight at the
city hall for the purpose of per-
fecting an organization and fram-
ing objections to the hill so as to
prevent its passage by the legisla-
ture. The call is issued bv Mike
Thorne, James S. Kone and others.
The movement to defeat, if pos-
sible. the enactment of the amend-
ments. started Thursday with the
circulation of a petition bv Mr.
Thorne. He secured 75 signers and
telegraphed the petition to Austin
Thursday.
Otljer petitions of the same tenor
were circulated yesterday and are
•till being signed freely todav. This
morning Mr. Thorne's p tition had
more than sixty names. He said
that he had circulated only an hour
or two yesterday afternoon.
The mass meeting tonight will
be held in the old city hall over
the fire station on Chestnut street.
The meeting probably will appoint
committees to draw up objections
to the proposed amendments and to
make arrangements to forward
them to Austin. Tho objections
Will be sent bv a special messenger.
The bill carrying tho proposed
amendments has been passed to en-
grossment in the house and will
come up for ftual/ passage next
Wednesday. The object of the meet-
ing is to prevent the passage of

SPECIAL ELECTION
Rev. and Mrs. J. A. Johnson at the
parsonage of the First M. E. church.
No. 207 North Fannin avenue, was
largely attended and proved very
enjoyable. The affair was given for
the memebrs of the church who had
been taken in during the pastorate
of Rev. Johnson.
The three parlors of the Johnson
home were prettily decorated in red
and white bunting with American
flags, red and white hatchets, as a
reminder of Washington's birthday,
and red and white carnations. The
principal feature of the evening was
a musical program of vocal and in-
strumental numbers, after which
refreshments of cake and coffee were
served.
League. The Washington building
decided to give a prize lor the best

noon tbe school planted a school
tree at the norhtwest corner of the
building. The trej was held in
place by four small boys, Reagan Car-
away, Willard Wenidorf, Harry Cor-
bett and Franz Benza while the

the soil was being filled in, the
school sang “Our Flag."
After the tree planting a musical
was given in room one and chili

Denison, Feb. 25.— \ special elec-
tion will be ,held March 18 for the
purpose of electing a commissioner
t«i fill the unexpired term caused bv
the resignation of. Commissioner
John T. Suggs, who ceased to be a
commissioner at midnight last night
by virtue of his resignation.
Th*» special election was ordered
this morning at 11 o'clock by the
dfy commission at a special meet-
ing of the commission called for this
purpose. March t8 was set as the
date of the election and the city at-
torney. was authorized eo prepare
the proclamation for publication to-
day. The proclamation must be
published twenty days.
The only other business trana-1
acted was tbe passage of a motion
authorizing the publication of the
delinquent tax rolls by the lowest
bidder for the work.
The special election is ordered un-
der Section 7, of Article 7 of the :
city charter which provides: "In j
case of the death, resignation or re- j
tnoval from the city or disqualifica-
tion arising from any cause, or any
alderman, his office shall thereupon
become vacant and an election i
■hall be ordered bv the citv council
to elect his successor. At least
twenty davg’ notice of said election
shall be given by publication in
some d&ilv newspaper of the city of
Denison."
Whosoever chances to he elected
to till this vacancy will have less
than a month to servo as commis-
sioner. The election will be held
on March IS, only two weeks and
a few davs before the regular city
election which falls on Apr!i 4.
At least this will be the situation
if the proposed charter amendments
are passed by thp legislature. in
view of tho opposition that has
arisen to them, their passage ap-
pears to be uncertain. Should it
happen that they do not pass, the
man elected to fill th° vacancy will
have a vear and two weeks to serve
as the term of Commissioner Suggs
under the charter In its present
form does not expire until April,
1912. If the amendments pass, the
presumption is that provision will
be made for cessation of the terms
of office of all commissioners next
month and the election of four men
os tho amendments contemplate.

"My daughter is rapidly becoming
a nervous wreck," said an anxioim
father to a friend who happened to
he a druggist—“she has no appe-
tite, is run-down, weak, takes no
interest in anything and we cannot
find anything that helps her."
"Why don’t you give her Vinol”—
said the druggist—“it is not a se-
cret nostrum, just a simple and de-
licious cod liver and iron tonic—
and the best strength creator and
general all around tonic we have
ever sold in cur store. Take a bottle
home and try it. We'll return your
money if it does not help her."
"Within ten days the father came
back for another bottle of Vinol, say-
ing that he had never seen such a
change in a girl in his life and he
felt sure one more bottle of Vinol
would restore her to her normal
condition."
Such cases as the»above are con-
stantly coming to our attention and
We ask every run-down, (nervous,
debilitated, aged or weak person in
this vicinity, and every person suf-
fering from a chronic cough, cold,
or bronchial trouble, to try a bot-

Are Microbes
In Your Scalp?
XT H.1S BEEN PROVED THAT
MICROBES CAUSE BALDNESS.
Professor Unna of Hamburg,
Germany, and Dr. Sabourand, the
leading French dermatologist, dis-
covered that a microbe causes bald-
ness. Their theory has time and
again been amply verified through
research experiment carried on
under the observation of eminent
scientists. This microbe lodges in
tho Sebum, which Is the natural
hair oil, and when permitted to
flourish it destroys the hair follicles
and in time the pores entirely close,
and the scalp gradually takes on a
shiny appearance. When this hap-
pens there is no hope of the growth
of hair being revived.
We have a remedy which will,
we honestly believe, remove dan-
druff, exterminate tlie microbe, pro-
mote good circulation in the scalp
and around tli? 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 this statement with
our own personal guarantee that
this remedv called Rexall "93" Hair
Tonic will be supplied free of all
cost to the user if it fails to do as
we state.
It will frequently restore gray
and faded -hair to its original color,
provided loss of color has been
caused by disease; yet it is in no
sense a dye. Rexall “93” Hair
Tonic accomplishes these results by
making every hair root, follicle
and pigment gland strong and act-
ive, and hy stimplating a natural
flow of coloring pigment through-
out the hair cells.
Wo exact no obligations or prom-
ises—wo simply ask you to give
Rexall “93" Hair Tonic a thorough
trial and if not satisfied tell us and
wc will refund the money you paid
us for it. Twm sizes, prices 50
cents and $1.00. Remember you can

FOSTER’S FORECASTS.
♦ — ...........:--------♦
Washington, D. C„ F<$>. 25.—
Last bulletin gave forecasts of dis-
turbance to cross continent Feb.
28 to March 4, warm wave Feb. 27
to March 3, cool wave March 2 to 6.
This will belong to a cold period
and winteT storms will be the rule
on the continent. Unusually cold
preceding and following the warm
wave and no very warm weather
accompanying the storm wave.
While our earth will be afflicted
with storms of moderate forco the
sun will get some severe storms on
Feb. 3 and largo spots dark and
bright may be seen on the eastern
side of the sun a little north of the
sun's equator by Feb. 4 to 6. These
spots will drift into better view by
Feb. 10. Anyone can test this fore-
cast of sun by using a smoked glass
or a itub of qulot water or both.
You can add to the two an opera
glass with good effect using all
three.
Next disturbance will reach Pa-
cific coast about March 4, cross Pa-
eife slope by close of 5, great cen-
tral valleys 6 to 8, eastern sections
9. Warm wave will cross Pacific
slope about March 4, great central
valleys G, eastern sections 8. Cool
wave will cross Pacific slope about
March 7, great central valleys 9,
eastern sections 11.
This disturbance will also belong
to a very cool period with a con-
tinuance of severe winter storms
with more than usual amount of
rains and snows in northern states
and in eastern and western pro-
vinces and southern states.
March cropweather promises ex-
cessive rains in all the states in the
north except those in the Rocky
mountains. In Canada precipita-
tion will be in excess except those
of Meridian 90 and on Pacific
slope. Rainfall will be in excess
in Arizona and southern Califor-
nia. Rains will bo very heavy in
the Sacramento and San Joaquin
valleys. The Carp,llnas and Cuba
will be dry, northern Florida about
normal rain. Middle provinces of
Canada will have a little less than
normal precipitation for March.
Texas and Oklahoma a little less
than normal rain. *
March temperatenres will be
above normal in southern states, in
latitude of the great lakes and New
England states and in all of Canada
east of Rockies March temperatures
the exceptions of Minnesota tho Da-
kotas. Colorado, Montana and Wis-
consin the excessive rains and snows
in northern states during March
will bo a most important feature in
the crop season of 1911.
What docs that kind of crop-
weather suggest? Tho almost un-
animous response is tnat it moans
good crops. v Buit 1 will not join in
with that judgment at this time.
I prefer to wait a little. Looks like
a vast amount of rain in the north-
ern states for March except in the
northwest. If the soil takes up a
large part of the waiter It will start
In with a splendid prospect In
April.
Mr. C. W. Cobb, of Cranesvllle.
Penn., says: "Ground Is badly
hove and bare with alternate thaw-
ing and freezing which must break
the tap root* of wheat therefore we
may expect only an average crop.
Condltons are adverse to a fair
crop. The open winter is favorable
to good corn and oats crops because
the warm spells hatch the Insects
and sprout seeds of noxious weeds
and the hard freezing kills them.'
When the ground is hove it makes
underground passages which hold
the surface water that mellows the
soil. Therefore I conclude the
1911 corn and oats crops will be
above the average and the hay crop
below.”
R. R. Reed, New England, North
Dakota says: “The ground is dry
here two or three feet deep." Mr.
W. J. O’Neill of Canada says: "We
had very cold weather before the
snow came and frost penetrated
deeply. Tho deep freezing and
heavy snow should make a good crop
of spring wheat, because frost evap-
orates slowly from deep freezing
and it is this evaporation of frost
from tho frozen ground that fur-
nishes moisture and gives sturdi-
ness to spring wheat. Without tho
deep freezing the snow would be of,
little benefit because the ‘Chinook' j
or hot winds of early spring melts
the snow so quickly that it runs off
and does not penetrate the soil. 1
expect a good crop of spring wheat
for 1911."
