John Eubanks brought suit by
his attorney, John M. Barker,
against four young men for break
ing into his watermelon patch.
The suit is for $50. TIE defend
ants are Fred Gilmore, H. Eu.
banks, Claud Inflow and Dave ARM
strong. Warden & Criglsr are at
torneys for the defendants. The
suit came up before Squire Har-
ris this week and the plaintiff ask
ed for q change Of venue to Judge
Stewards court, Rush Hill. The
change was granted and plaintiff
paid the costs up to date, amount
ing TO ss5. The suit promises to
be carried to the highest court,
and the costs will likely amount TO
much more than all the water
melons in Audrain would sell for
before it is ended.

Is Alum Poisonous7
From Halls Journal Of Rsalth.

@This question has caused a good
deal of discussion. Alum is used BY
many bakers to whiten their bread,
enabling them to use an inferior
flour. Il is most extensively en-
ployed as a cheap substitute for
cream Of tartar in the manufacture
of baking powders. 1t has not been
considered Immediately dangerous;
although if continued it induces
dyspepsia and obstinate constipation.
But the fact that many cases of
|poisoning have occurred from the use
Of alum, puts the question in a more
serious aspect, and prudent people
will exercise caution in the selection
of baking powder"
"Under what conditions then,
does this substance-formerly used
only for mechanical or medicinal
purposes--become poisonous? They
are certainly obscure, and at present
we can only surmise what they may
be. We suspect that the cause ey-
lists in the individual poisoned; some
popularity of the constitution pro-
ducing a morbid change in the Sc
cretions Of the stomach, with which
the alum combines and forms an
active poison; or the secretions may
be healthy but in unusual proper
lions, and that these less or greater
proportions in combination with the
alum constitute a poison"
"For example, two parts Of mer-
curry and two parts of chlorine from
calomel, which is not poisonous, but
change the proportions to one part
mercury and two parts OF chlorine,
and we get corrosive sublimate,
which is a deadly poison"
"Then again we know nothing OF
the constitutional peculiarities.
Why is it that one person. can eat
all kinds Of green fruits and vegeta-
bles with impunity, while the same
course might cost another individual
his life? One person can handle
poison ivy and sumac without being
in the least affected; another is pois-
oned if he approaches to within ten
feet of them. Out of a family resid-
ing in a malarial district, some Of
the members will suffer half the year
with fever and ague, while the 9TH
ers will enjoy excellent health dur
ing the entire year. Foods that are
wholesome to some persons are act
ually poisonous to others. This is
especially true of some kinds of fish.
There is no safety in taking alum
into the stomach, as it is shown to
be always injurious, and often dan
gerous.'
The Scientific american published
in a recent number a list OF alum
and ammonia baking powders, which
IS of great value at this time. Fol-
lowing is the list compiled from
official reports. Powders marked
with a star seem to have a general
sale, as they are mentioned in at
least two of the official reports.

Ous mOI0 spehAinss q
chrysanthemum wedding. The
church had been ~profusely decorate
ed with this most popular flower
by the Cinderella Cooking Club,
the bride being q member of this
club. ;rhe ceremony took place
under a beautiful canopy of chry-
ssnthemums arranged in umbrella
shape. Miss Willie Potts was
maid of honor, and looked beauti-
full in a dress similar to the BRIDES
in all respect, except veil and Or
ange blossoms. The bridesmaids
were Miss Lena johnson, white
china silk, trimmed in yellow chif-
fon and carried yellow chrysan-
themums /; Miss Mabel Hord, man.

fon puffs, white chrysanthemums ;
Miss Bessie Lakeland, light green
china silk, en- train, trimmed in
white chiffon, yellow chrysan-
themums. The young ladies all
appeared to a splendid advantage,
and the bridal party, as a whole,
presented a fine appearance. Frank
Spence, of Kansas City, oficiated
as best man for the groom, while
Morris Arnold, Ernest CAN'T, R.

were the attendants. The bride
was dressed in q handsome gown
of cream white silk, en- train, with
V neck, long sleeves, white gloves,
slippers, veil and orange blossoms.
The groom was clad in convention
al black. 1t is very seldom that
you will see a handsomer young
couple than the bride and groom.
Miss Fyfer, of Columbia, presided
at the organ. The Cinderella Cook
ing Club attended the ceremony in
a body, and a more handsomer set
of girls it would be hard to find
anywhere ; but unless the ranks Of
this club are recruited they will all
soon be married. The ceremony
was pronounced by Rev. Mumpow.
er in q very impressive manner.
It was the Episcopal ceremony,
and was very beautiful throughout.
After the ceremony the bridal par
ty lunched at the residence of the
BRIDES parents, and left on the

and the East. On their return they
will occupy their beautiful new
