Impure Food.

Exceeding canton should be exercised
in the purchase of new article OF food.
Many recent cases Of serious illness have
been reported from the use Of the new
patent foods for infants. from INFESTED
baking powders, and cheap flavoring ex-
tracts. The desire for rapid wealth in
duces INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers to place
anything before the public that will sell
at large profit, without regard to its
usefulness or healthfulness At present
there 10 a great raid upon the baking
powder market, and so many impure and
adulterated articles Of this kind have been
found peddled about the country that the
authorities in several OF the States have
taken the necessary action to expose
them. The report of the Ohio State Food
Commission has shown that large num-
Der OF the brands sold here are made from
alum, phosphates, or a cheap and adulter-
ated cream of tartar. The danger to the
public is made still greater by the un-
blushing ef'rontery with which the pro-
prietors of these impure powders advertise
them as perfect, claiming for them all
kinds of false and impossible endorse
ments
The official report Of the OHIO State
Food Commission gives the names of a
number Of these impure POWDERS, and the
amount of impurity and inert matter in
each rs follows:

On Friday evening, of last week, Mrs.
DILL. Campbell was thrown from
bnggv while driving on the pike a short
distance south of town, and severely
bruised about the head, face and body
At frst il was feared that her arm was
broken and that she had received injuries
Of n very serious character, but we are
glad to say that such proved not to be the
case. ard with the injuries above named
and the severe shock to her system gener-
ally. she has escaped any greater injury
In the buggy with her was her little
daughter, Gertie, about four years old,
and a little daughter Of Mr.. l. Hite Bird,
of about the same age. Both children
were thrown out on the road side, but
strange TO relate both escaped with very
slight bruises. The accident, as we are
informed happened as follows; Mrs
Campbell was driving along at pretty
brisk trot when Prof. c. NJ. Best and Mr.
n. B. Schmitt came up behind the buggy
on bicveles. and as Mr.. Schmitt passed
around at brisk speed and flashed by the
horse the animal became frightened and
whirled suddenly around upsetting the
vehicle and throwing the occupants ont.
The buggy was badly broken and the
horse tearing loose ran home. 1t was
most fortunate escape from what might
have been terrible accident, and shows
how very careful bicycle riders should be
in cases of this kind. As these machines
with their rubber tires make no sound on
the road it is not surprising that they
should frighten tho most gentle horse
when suddenly flashing by HIM from the
rear without the least warning of any kind,
and where an accident occurs from cause
of this kind the rider should be held to
the strictest account. We do not condemn
bicycle riding, but on the contrary we
consider it a very healthy innocent and
pleasant exercise And we also claim
that hi cycle riders have their rights Al
any other mode of travel and conveyance,
But at the same time the riders of these
machines should exercise the greatest care
IN passing horses as they have the whole
thing in their own hand.

EDINRURG NOTES.

We are glad to know that Miss Nellie
A. Brown, the beautiful and versatile
Young actress, Will appear in our town on
Wednesday evening, March 18th, for the
benefit of our fine musical organization
the Shenandoah Cornet Band.
The young lady scholars Of Riverside
school. not far from this place, amuse
themselves by playing "p--." That
is, they put in their spare time sliding
down straw stack near the school house.
That the game affords much enjoyment
and hearty fun is abundantly proved by
the ringing peals of musical laughter from
these bewitching fair ones.
Somebody is responsible, and getting
well cussed, for calling many disabled
Confeds TO Woodstock without cause, on
Monday last, as the only question seemed
10 be "When did you receive anything
from the State" "Phin" says "Why the
ID didn't they say so; wouldn't have
come to town to-day for anything less
than sixty dollars"
Our people will have an opportunity to
hear the great American actress, Miss
Nellie A. Brown, as she will appear in
this place on Wednesday evening, March
9TH, for the benefit Of the Shenandoah
Cornet Band. Let there be foil turn
out, as this will be a rare chance to spend
a most agreeable evening.
Circumstances often 90 to show that
trouble does not visit the unworthy only,
but the good are also liable. exemplliied
bv Geo. Twins horse having left him at
Hamburg one night last week. But TINS,
AZ he was in good, interesting and lovely
company, he looked upon as no neon
venience. But on his return home he
hired "Choke" and young "Horny" tohelp
hunt up the noble bay, when, after hours
of close search, he was found snngly en-
ioying a good feed in his own stable
George is in daily expectation OF love
scented epistles through the hands Of lit
tie "Nugger"
One of the most ENJOYABLE events OF the
season, in this place, was calico ball on
Tuesday night, at the residence of Mr..
Will Dlnges The young ladies looked
lust too sweet for anything in their pretty
calico dresses, while the young men were
80 gallant and attentive as the most ex-
acting coquette could desire. Probably
the most entertaining part of the proceed
ing was a little private clog dance exc
cuted by one of our most attractive young
ladies and very popular young man. The
music. which was Of the most primitive
kind, was furnished by gentleman who
was generous enough to sacrifice the palms
of his hands and the knees of his pants.
This part Of the dancing was greatly en-
loved by the rest of the company, who,
to the no little surprise and soma confu-
sion of the performers and musician, were
witnesses to this the finest executed clog
dance ever seen in our town. Store teeth
we're laid aside for the time, as 1t was
feared that they did not fit sufficiently
tight for the active movements of clog
dance.

Perhaps no local disease has puzzled
and bafed the medical profession more
than nasal catarrh. While not lmmedi-
ately fatal il is among the most distress
ing. nauseous and disgusting ills the flesh
is beir to, and the records show very few
or no cases of radical cures Of chronic ca
tarrh by any OF the multitude Of modes of
treatment until the introduction of Ely's

cess Of this preparation has been most

We now think that the new passenger
depot at this place will be built during
the coming spring. Several of these rail
road officials were here last week to con
sult with the town authorities IN regard
to getting the necessary ground on inc

arranged Tor and staked off and we learn
that work on the building will be com
named "a soon as the weather opens. The

used exclusively for passenger, once anu

moved some distance south Of its present
location and will be used altogether Tor
freight purposes. We are truly glad 10
know that the railroad people have at

and too long delayed justice. The &C

On Saturday last the Shenandoah Fire
Co.. of this place, brought out their engine
for the purpose Of testing lot Of new hose
recently purchased for them by the town
authorities. The test, as far as 1t went,
was very satisfactory the hose withstood
heavy pressure and the engine threw
powerful stream of water over the spire
of the court house steeple. This trial
should have gone further, and both streams
Of the engine should have been tried as
we'll as every foot Of hose belonging to the
department, and if any of it had been
found defective it should have been rem
led at once. The windy days Of March
are upon us, the time when fires are most
to be dreaded, and not a day should pass
without knowing that everything con-
