MAKES GREAT EXCITEMENT
Strip of Laud Varies From IS
to 08 Miles in Width-Gives
Panama an Additional
Pacific Port.
New Tork. Aug. 20.-Frivate advices
received here from Buena Venture.
Colombia, are to the effect, says the
Times, that the government of Panama
has stationed a military garrison at
Nugiw, a city at the affluence of the
Atrata and San Juan rivers. If this
news is correct, the Panama republic
has assumed formal possession of a
wide strip of the Colombia department
of Cauca. which, according to a map
of the greater Colombia, issued in 1S30
at Caracas, was originally the
southern extremity of the department
of Panama. If Panama succeeds in
maintaining her hold, she will acquire
an additional Pacific seaboard ex
tending from the isthmus proper south
to Punta Limones, near the mouth of
the Baudo river, a distance of about
100 miles. The minimum width of the
territory is 18 miles, the greatest 58.
The news is said to have created in
tense excitement at Bogota, the cap
ital of Colombia.
GIRL HAS NEW SCALP.
Hair Caught in Wheel and Tor Away
Head Covering.
New Tork, Aug. 20. Margaret
Dougherty of Rochester, N. T.. who
was almost scalped in an automobile
accident August 10. is recovering at
a hospital here, after undergoing a
remarkable operation, which resulted
in the replacing of her scalp, which
was torn from her head. The cuticle
already has begun to unite, and the
girl"s hair shows such signs of vital
ity that the success of the operation is
assured.
Miss Dougherty fell in dismounting
from a n automobile in Central park.
Her hair caught in the balance wheel
which ha3 not been shut off and the
rapidly revolving shaft wound it up,
tearing off part of the scalp seven
Inches from her ear and five from front
to back. She was carried to the hos
pital unconscious and later a police
man arrived with the scalp. The doc
tors quickly prepared the wound, re
placed the severe portion, which fitted
perfectly when sewed on. Upon re
moval of the bandage it has been
found that the cuticle is healing and
the surgeons are satisfied that the
woman will show no effects of her ter
rible experience a month hence.

INTERESTED IN ORIENT.
Korea Capable of Wonderful Trade
Development.
Seattle Post-lutelllgencer: Seattle's
Interest in the Japanese-Russian war
proceeds very largely from existing
and clearly defined future trade rela
tions with those oriental countries di
rectly Involved. That her sympathy Is
largely with Japan is due in part to
the fact that if that nation wins there
will be a greater commercial advance
In Korea than If Russia can seise upon
that benighted monarchy.
The trade of Korea is capable of
wonderful development. In the past
Great Britain has had the best of the
Import business, the Japanese and Chi
nese coming next in favor. Japan
promises to maintain in Korea the
"open door." If she wins in the great
struggle now In progress, her promise
will undoubtedly be kept and the de
velopment of trade In the little but
resourceful hermit nation will be very
rapid Indeed. It is therefore natural
that the I'nited States should watch the
struggle with interest We are the
best situated of any of the great na
tions to derive tremendous benefits
from trade development with the coun
tries on the Pacific const of Asia.
The reecntly published report of Kor
ean trade referred solely to treaty
ports. And it showed figures that are
surprising. The imports were in ex
cess of 19,000,000, with exports of over
$7,000,000. Here was a total trade for
1903 close to $17,000,000; and that, too,
with very few points open to com
merce. Given the "open door" prom
ised by Japan, and given a stable and
decent government, Korea must de
velop rapidly and enormously.
The United States is well situated
for control of Korean markets. If she
secures that advantage, the direct
route of the tide of commerce is most
certainly through the port of Seattle.
Korea will furnish an expanding mar
ket for cotton. And for several years
cotton shippers have found it con
venient to reach the oriental markets
via Seattle.

Aged Chippewa Chief Wished to Pro
tect Legal Rights of His Wife.
Detroit, Aug. 20. Slowly dying and
scarcely able to make the necessary
uterances, James Bah We Tuk Tosh,
chieftain of remnants of the Chippewa
tribe, which still live north of Bay
City, Mich., has been married to Mar
tha G. Nan Shank, who, according to
Indian ceremony, has been his wife
for the past 40 years. Bah We Tuk
Tosh owns considerable property. He
is 70 years old and his wife is 55
With death near he wished to insure
his wife's possession of his goods and
chattels. Although the couple have
married children, the legal ceremony
was necessary, because the law will
not recognize a common law marriage
between Indians. It is told that the
original Indian marriage was the great
est event of the times among Michigan
Indians.
VI SAYAN PUPILS STRIKE.
Young Filipinos Object to Being Called
"Little Savages."
St. Louis, Aug. 20. The Visayan pu
pils, 25 In number, who have been
studying In the model school In the
Philippine section at the world's fair,
refuse to attend the classes In the fu
ture. Their action is explained in a
letter which has been received by Mr.
H. G. Stone from Miss Teresa Ra
mlres, a 16-year-old pupil of the school,
who had read and taken umbrage at
that portion of the folder, recently Is
sued by the Philippine exposition
board, describing the villages and ex
hfbits of the Philippine islands at the
world's fair, in which the pupils of
the school are classified as "little sav
ages." ,
Bankers' Convention.
New York, Aug. 20. All plans have
Scientific Seasickness.
Some physiologists say that seasick
ness is due to the violent stimulation
of the fluid in the semicircular canals
of the ear, set in motion by the roll
ing or pitching of the boat. The nerve
leading to the brain is "set on edge."
This nerve and the pneumogastiic
nerve terminate in closely adjacent
centers in the brain. It is claimed that
the stimulation of the nerve from the
semicircular canals reacts upon the
pneumogastric nerve, causing a gen
era sensation of nausea.
Bear this in mind the next time you
experience mal de mer, and perhaps
you may enjoy it more.

VACATION TIME. Vacation time should bring
rest, retention and comfort; and comfort of the solid
and pleattlng variety means no high collar, no atllt
hat and no Itching scalp. It is for this last dis
comfort that Newbro's Herpieide becomes a summer
necessity, as It stops Itching of the scalp and Prickly
Heat almost Instantly. Take Herpieide with you on
your vacation.
...SCALP WARNING.. Itching of the scalp Is not
so much a punlHhment for past neglect as it Is a
warning for the future. It shows, almost consluslve
ly, that the vine-like, mlcrobic growth that causes
dandruff, Itching scalp and falling hair has entered
the Sebaceous glands and unless this growth Is stopped
and kept out of the scalp, baldness will follow.
...IT 13 CONTAGIOUS.. It was Prof. Unna (ask
your doctor, about him), who first pointed out that
the true eause of hair loss Is a germ or microbe that
lodges In the scalp where It causes dandruff. Being
olmteroWc origin the diseased necessarily contagious
but Dr. Sabouraud has recently called attention to
the highly contagious nature of dandruff, and the
necessity of constant watchfulness to avoid It. Kill
the dandruff germ with Herpieide.
UNSTERILIZED PUBLIC HAIR-BRU8HE8, says
Dr. A. Cartas, are to blame for most
of the baldness that Is prevalent
today. He further states that,
"baldness begins In the young." By
this he means that the germ that
causes the disease Is planted in the
scalp of young men and that some
times years elapse before the de
struction is complete.

WILL NOT GROW HAIR.. Newbro's Hsrplelde Is
a "Hsir-Ssver;" It will not grow hair nature
does this but by destroying the enemies of hair
health. It enables the hnlr to grow as nature Intended
except In chronic baldness. Save your hair with
Herpieide. Wonderful results follow Its use,
HOT WEATHER TROUBLES.. During hot weath
ed the minute sudatory glands of the scalp are called
upon to perform an extra amount of labor. The per
spiration that exudes In Increased quantities must be
handled promptly as It carries out poisonous and re
fuse matter that would otherwise clog up the pores of
the scalp. Incomplete elimination of refuse matter
produces a hot and feverish condition of the scalp,
familiarly known as Prickly Heat, for which Herpi
eide gives immediate relief. Indies will find Herpi
eide tndlapenslble. It contains no grease, will not
stain or dye. It Is an exquisite hair dressing that
