FAMILY POIsENED.-Last Friday morn
ing the family OF w. II. II. Wood, north
Of the city, ale graham -four "gems" for
breakfast, made with Prices baking pow
der, and shortly after breakfast all the
family were taken very sick, with severe
vomiting and gripping painsi Drs. Tandy
and rrueworthy were called In and adj
ministered medicine. One Of the biscuits
was given to dog and the animal became
sick and died IN q short time, showing be.
yond doubt that the biscuit contained
poison. Most Of the family were sick
abed during the day, but by night all felt
better, and are now well. The poison
was contained in the baking powder, and
from its symptoms DR.. TFuewo-thy con-
cIuded that 1t was tartar emetie not
properly mixed with the other eonstitu-
ents Of the powder. The manufacturers
ought to look little closer after the fell
lows that do the mixing.
LATER.-The baking powder has been
analysed by Mrs. T. II. w. jackson and
other experts, and found to contain ar
senIe. The only superstition as to how 1t
came to be in the powder Is that it was
by accident in the course Of its manufac-
ture.

The old Furuiturs stors.

Emporia does not need large, first
class, well stocked new furniture store,
because 1t mas got one Of that kind, and
has had It for years. We refer Of course
to the old and popular esta blishment,
now run by David s. GIlmo, and which
has supplied most OF the furniture that
can be found in this part Of Kansas.
This store is now filled with the latest
and best styles Of DarlOr, dining roem,
chamber and kitchen furniture, together
with q nne supply OF mattresses, pillows.
spring beds, mirrors and various articles
pertaining to the house furnishing line Of
business. Mr.. Gilmore's experience here
for many years enables him to know
what kind of furniture the people OF this
section want, and he accordingly keeps
the best kind. He is agent for the EN-
poria furniture factory, and the way to
patronize home manufactures in the fur
niture line is to buy of him. He is selling
at unprecedented low prices, lower, we be-
lieVe, than similar furniture is now Offer
ed for In any other city IN the State. He
can get up any article desired, upholster,
repair, or varnish any piece Of furniture,
and is always ready to accommodate eve
~ body, friends or strangers, old settlers
or new. A very full stock of bureaus,
chairs, rockers, tables, cribs, &C., Is on
hand, and we advise our readers to go to
the old but first-class furniture~ store
whenever they desire anything that fur
niture manufacturers turn out.

But in passing their place Of business we
