The fair sex thoroughly enjoy the biff-bans sport and the innovation has made a decided hit. Both fighters are in grand fettle. A physician visits Gana every das to make a thorough examination of the famous boxer, in order that he may not train off the excess weight too rapidly. Gans is now within four pounds of the weight and should experience no trouble in scal ing 133 pounds at the ringside. At San Rafael Britt is plugging away Industriously and will keep hard at it until two days before the date of the fight. He never was stronger or sturdier looking, the long mountain trip having done him a world of good. The contract for the moving pictures will be let this week,- as the three man agersJack Gleason for the Occidental Club, and Ben Sellg and Willis Britt, acting for the fighters came to a satis factory understanding last night. There has been no betting as yet on the outcome, due to the fact that the admirers of Gans are trying to feel the pulse of the betting public. The opening odds will be 10 to 7, with Gans favorite.

The Seals made It four "in a row this afternoon by handing it to the Beavers once more to the music of 3 to 0 In one of the slowest and most tire some games of ball that the fans have been forced to look at in many a moon. The victory of the home team was due chiefly to the good box work of Henley, who experienced little difficulty in keep ing the Beavers away from the pan in every Inning and letting them down with four scattered hits that never figured to do any good. Groom started off wild and lost his game in the third inning, when he passed three men. allowed a hit and then threw the ball away at second base In an en deavor to catch Irwin stealing. Two runs came in then. In the eighth Irwin's dou ble against the right field fence, followed by Williams' scratch hit, netted the third and last tally. The Seals' new outfielder,- Melchoir, ' played his first game and tbre off a hit. Cy .Sawyer, pitcher of the Winnipeg , club, of the Northern League, has been purchased by San Francisco and will re port in about a week. The score: PORTLAND. AB. R. BH. 6B. PO. A. E.

LA CROSSE, Wis., Aug. 31. (Spe cial.) While Mrs. Mary Malin, aged 60 years, a member of one of the lead ing: German families In Western Wis consin, is in a cell i in the Vernon County Jail, detectives are attempt ing to unravel one of the strangest murder mysteries ever recorded in this section, in which Carl Schmidt, a blind farmer, aged 65. was poisoned. The preliminary hearing was held to day at Vlroqua. Though no special charge of mur der has been lodged against Mrs. Ma lin, the Coroner's. Jury found sufficient evidence to warrant holding her. Schmidt and his wife, Pauline Schmidt, lived on a farm eight miles out of Harmony, near Genoa, Wis., just south of La Crosse. Mrs. Schmidt is a sister of Mrs. Malin. who lives in this city. Since the- death of Paul Malin, her husband, Mrs. Malin has constantly besought her sister to come and live with her. The invitation did not include Schmidt, who was stricken blind about a year ago. Mrs. Malin made a visit to her sis ter six weeks ago. Upon her arrival at the Schmidt farm, witnesses tes tified, Mrs. Malin sought to Induce Mrs. Schmidt to send her blind hus band to the poorhouse and return with her to La Crosse. An effort was made to .carry out this plan, but the fact that Schmidt's property would have to be turned over to the county stopped the scheme. Mrs. Malin then sought to have Mrs. Schmidt Induce her husband to deec all of his property to his wife that he might go to the poor farm without giving away his holdings. This Schmidt refused to do. A plan was then hit upon whereby Schmidt was to sell his property and live with a neighbor on the proceeds of the sale. The farm was sold, bringing $500, and John Greshel, a neighbor, agreed to pay $200 for the personal property. Greshel went td the Schmidt home Thursday afternoon, carrying with him a bottle of diluted and sweetened alco hol, which is a popular drink of the community. Greshel gave the old man several drinks, and drank several him self. Mrs. Schmidt had left the house, temporarily, and, after exchanging drinks. Greshel went to the barn to view his newly acquired property. A few moments later 'he was called by Mrs. Malin, who had remained in the house with Schmidt. He found Schmidt gasping1 for breath on the floor. The odor of carbolic acid was plain, and Schmidt expired a few mo ments afterward in Greshel's arms. Neighbors testified that they thought the death was suspicious, and next morning went to the Schmidt home to investigate. The neighbors found a drinking cup hanging on the nail,' and an examination proved it con tained traces of carbolic acid. Mrs. Malin, on the stand, said she had not seen the cup before or after the tragedy. The bottle of carbolic acid from which the fatal draught was taken was brought to the Schmidt home two months before by Mrs. Malin. who tes tified it was for the purpose of bath ing her sister's knee. She testified she had not seen the bottle since she had discontinued the treatment of her sister. One of the mysterious circumstances surrounding the case, which helps to explode the possibility of a suicidal theory, is the fact that the poison bot tle cannot be found, through search of the house and premises was made after the death of Schmidt. Neighbors also testified that Mrs. Malin expressed no regret at the death of Schmidt, but. Instead, told her sis ter that It was a blessing and that she could now go to La Crosse and live with her. .

Married a Man Who Traveled. SPOKANE. Wash., Aug. 30. (Spe cial.) Sena E. Paulsen DRVidson, blonde, petite, young and pretty, was a bride for two days and then the curtain fell. She is now "suing Harry A. Davidson for a divorce. Davidson was a traveling man, and to all pur poses Is traveling still. After two days' honeymoon he left his wife and has not been heard of since. The mystery connected with David son's quick shift from the state of mar ried bliss to a rough railroad voyage, so said Mrs. Davidson, was his inabil ity to get hold of her bank account. Benjamin Paulsen, brother of Mrs. Davidson, told how he had suspected that Davidson was longing for his sis ter's money when he married her. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS M. A. Powell to'S.

A hurry call was received at police headquarters, and a patrol wagon with several policemen rushed to the scene. In a dark and dingy room the officers found W. O. Wimer, lying In a bed. He firmly denied doing any shooting, and at first said he did not hear any shot, but later, when pressed for a statement, said he heard one shot. "He also said he did not know w-here the revolver was until he was threatened with arrest, at which time he lifted up the mattress and took out the weapon. Mrs. Wimer, who was brought In from an adjoining room, declared that she was taking the revolver from the dres ser drawer, when It was accidentally discharged.

Plain Facts About the Hair It In the duty of every one who is interested in hair preservation to learn enough about the subject to tell whether an advertisement for a hair remedy is reason able or unreasonable. In this connection, the United States Post Office department has begun a much need ed campaign against false and misleading statements in advertisements In general. While this work is high ly commendable and should be greatly extended, still at the same time it tends to paternalism rather than to personal self-reliance. If TOU know that the claims for a hair comedy are unreasonable and untrue, that knowledge will save you money and prevent disap pointment. The trouble Ilea in the fact that certain over am bitious Proprietors employ advertising writers who do not know the composition of the remedies they write about, and even if tney did, they are not expected to know the therapeutic action of the various ingredients. Two very familiar and oft repeated statements are, that the hair must be watered and fed just like a plant, and that the color of the hair, once destroyed, can be restored, by natural process. While both of these statements are false In every particular, it re quires some little knowledge of the hair follicle to understand why the statements are false. The hair follicle Is a pear-shaped sack in the scalp that holds the hair root. At the bottom of the hair follicle and extending up into it for a short dis tance, is a nipple-shaped projection that remains in the scalp when a hair root is forcibly pulled out. This projection is the hair papilla from which the hair "root" grows. The continuous addition to the bottom of the hair root, forces the hair proper out through the scalp. The hnlr papilla is surrounded by the hair root, which thus takes a bulbous form. Above the hair root or bulb which occupies about three-fourths of the entire follicle Is the neck of the hair follicle, below which the mosl penetrating fluids known to Medical Science can not penetrate. Therefore, the story of feeding the starved and impoverished hair roots with an external application is all a myth. The abort portion of the hair follicle above its neck opens somewhat like a funnel and is filled with the outer scalp skin. Opening into this outer portion are the highly Important oil or sebaceous glands which, from their location, are most exposed to disease. When these oil glands become infected with a certain ml crobic growth (the cause of dandruff) there is hair disease and finally hair death. Fortunately this outer portion of the hair follicle can be treated by carefully rubbing into the scalp a suitable remedy. What remedy should be used? Manifestly one that will destroy the growth that causes dandruff, itching scalp, and falling hair. Newbro'a HerplHde is the first remedy that was prepared for the particular .purpose of destroying this Invisible vegetable growth. In fact, it is called the "ORIGINAL, remedy that kills the dandruff germ. Newbro's Herpicide was not made until after Prof. Ur.na. of Hamburg, Germany (ask your Doctor about him) discovered that dandruff is a highly contagious disease caused by a microbe. The almost marvelous success of Newbro's Herpic.Ide has caused advertising writers to claim germicidal properties for other hair remedies, many of which were on the market years be fore Prof. Unna's discovery, no you think that this new claim for old remedies Is a reasonable one? Remem ber, that the hair gets its life, color, and strength direct from the blood, and that good blood, deep breathing, and sunlight favor hair development. Out door exercise, to insure free clrctilation in the scalp, also scalp massaging for the same purpose, are very helpful. -Worry, Indigestion, and sedentary habits oppose hair growth, while the dandruff germ will actually destroy the hair, unless It Is eradicated and kept out of the scalp with Newbro's Herplclde. Herplclde is delightfully cooling and refreshing to the scalp, and almost marvelous results sometimes follow its continued use. It stops itching of the scalp almost instantly.
