Farmer Burns as a Pugilist.

Martin Burns, the Big Rock '.farmel" "
who has made something of reputatio n
as wrestler, and has many admirers
among the sporting fraternity of Rock
Island, has just gained fresh laurels as a
pugilist. In pugiIistic contest at
Wheatland with the "Prussian," Martin
was awarded the fight in the ninth round.
The struggle was arranged for / l rounds,
but in the ninth the 'Prussian," who was
beginning to have double vision, threw
up the sponge and wanted no more of it.
1t had been a spirited affair up to this
point, both of them landing quite fire.

down in the sixth round, be considered it
but a trifie and came up smiling in the
seventh. His we'll trained PHYSIQUE ws s
too much for the russian to battle
against, and therefore it was that the lat

The fight was according to Queensbury
rules, was witnessed by about 200 sports,
and was for a purse of $3.50 1t took
place in the village dance hall, the ring
being chslked off on the floor.

ARSENIC AND AMMONIA.
X mark able Contrast in the Effect of
Two Poi-Ons on the complexion.


The slow absorption of many poisons
changes in some more or less modified
| form the complexion, but ars senc and am
monia show their effect about as quickly
| as sny. The popular belief that arsenic
clears the comple Xion has led many silly
women to kill themselves with it in small,
continued doses.
1t produces a waxy, ivory like appear
ance of the skin during a certain stage of
the pois oning. but its terrible after effects
have become too well known to make it
of common use as cosmetic.
The effects of ammonia upon the COM
plexion are directly the OPP osite to that of
arsenic. The first symptom of ammonia
poisoning which appears among those who
work in ammonia factories is discolora-
ton of the skin of the nose and forehead
This generally extends over the face until
the complexion has stained, blotched,
and unsightly appearance. With people
who take ammonia into their systems in
smaller doses, as with their water or food,
these striking symptoms do not appear so
soon The only effect of the poison that
is visible for a lime is a general uuwholes
someness and ssllowpCss of the CON-
plexion.
Many people sre slowly absorbing
ammonia poison without knowing it.
The use of smmonis in the manufactures
has greatly increased Of late, and it is
uuquestionably used as an aduterant in
certain food prep rations. Official an
alysis have plainly shown its use even in
such cheap articles of every day con.
sumption as baking powders. The con-
tinued absorption of ammonia in even
minute quantities as an adulterant in
food is injurious not merely from its ef-
feet upon the complexion. but because it
destroys the coating Of the stomach and
causes dyspepsia and kindred evils.
Prof, Long, of Chicago, is authority
for the statement that. if to 50,000,000
parts of water there is one part of am
monia, the water is dangerous.

Logs and Logging.

The Chippewa Logging company held
their annual meeting at Beef Slough last
week. The officers elected were:
Frederick Weyerhsuser, president and
treasurer; D. R Moon, of Eau Clare,
vice president; H. G. Chichester, Chip
pews Falls, secretary. Peter Musser, of
Muscatine, is one of the board of direc-
tors.
The Lum- -eiman indignantly SAYS:
THE usual annual kick has bsen made
by the steamboat men against the man
agement of the government reservoirs.
They Claim that the water is held 10 the
interest of the lumbermen and
the dams are only opened al
such times as the lumoermen desire
to get few logs. To this Major Jones.
who has charge of the dams, replies that
the statement is false; that the reservoirs
ere operated in the interests of naviga,
tion as whole, and logging is part of
it. The saw log of commerce, he says.
is entitled TO the same consideration as
any craft that floats. He explains that
navigation has not been maintained So il
couli have been had the reservoirs been
filed. But they have never been more
than half full except on one occasion in
1887, when there was cloud burst. The
reservoirs are now open. Major Jones
says the flow of water has been made
much better than it otherwise would have
been but for the reservoirs.

ranging the exhibits the atte udance was
not very large, and no program was
carried out, il being reserved and will be
presented during the st two days of the
fair, which usually have the large attend
ance.
The displays thus far are said to cx,
ceed those of any previous year. aud as
they continue TO arrive daily Il gives
promise OF being one of the most success
fui fairs yet gwen at these grounds.
The first building found on entering
the grounds is
FLORAL HALL
wherein choice display of flowers and pot
ted plants of every description are being
exhibited, besides an elaborate display of a
thousand and one articles of fancy work
which are being sold or exhibited.
One of the most conspicuous exhibits
in Floral Hall this year is
the dairy and kitchen department which
contains q fine display of dairy products
and kitchen delicacies. The next build
ing met by the visitor is Agricultural
Hall, in which the most prominent is the
horticultural display, which contains a
large number of varieties of lucious home
grown fruits and shows that this climate
will produce some of the finest varieties
of fruits if their culture is given the prop
er attention.
This hall also contains number
of displays from the mercanti
establishments IN the vicinity, some %
which are very pretty. The race track
features today consisted of two races-a
3-mInute class trotting race and run
ming race. In the former. which was
best three out OF five heats. Maud Fl.
won the first heat in 3:04. David B. won
the second in 2:553; Maud H. again
took the third in 2:55 and managed TO
win the fourth in 253, which gave her
the race, with David B. second, and
Queen G. third. Maud II is owned by
j. F. Martin, of Fulton, David B by A
c. Boyer of Davenport, and Qneen C. by
Joseph Coe, of LeClaire.
In the running race there were three
entries, best three in FIVE, half mile heats,
LYDIA d being an easy winner with Mat
tie Hixon second and Cora Belle third.
Johnson, who rode Cora Belle, was
thrown in the third heat, but not seriously
injured. though he received a very severe
shock.
NOTES OF THE FAIR.

representation of the old soldiers will be
present Thursday and Friday.

doing good business on the grounds,
but there is no wheel or gambling device
of any kind. and even the man with the

TEACHERS COLUMN.

The County Teachers Association
met at the Graded School building last
Saturday, and held quite an interest
ing meeting. OF the six appointed to
lead in discussions only two were
present, Misses Cora Dominick and
Mamie Crooks. These two young
ladies read instructive papers on order
in the school room. Several teachers
took part in the discussion, and it was
evident that the discipline Of our
schools needs more careful attention.
The use and Abuse of Text books"
and the BEST Methods for Teaching
Spelling" were also discussed. Messrs.
George B. Croner and G. q. Sale be-
ing present took part in the discus
sionS.
The association upon the invitation
of Mr. r. W. keitt. decided to hold a
two days meeting at the Rutherford
school district building on the Sd and
AZ. Of July.
The proposition to hold this meeting
met with the hearty approval OF all
present. 1t is a move in the right di-
rection. The programme for this meet
ing will be published in few weeks.
Four or five names were added to
the roll
1t was gratifying to see the interest
taken in last saturdays meeting. The
attendance was perhaps larger than at
any other meeting during the year.
The association will hold its next
meeting at Ncwberry on the 2nd Sat
urday in June. Programme will APP
pear in next weeks papers.
