prominent citizens that the drama Of the "Old
Guard or the Cross of Gold be reproduced for
the benefit of Mrs. White. whose husband was

and that the entertainment be given in one of
the larger halls or theaters by the same dra-
matte company that made such a pronounced
success of the play few weeks ago for
the benefit of Lincoln Post, G. A. K
Acting upon the suggestion the members have
been interviewed on the subject and have
kindly consented to donate their services for

About 10 a, m. Saturday a team,
belonging to Charlie Henderson,

containing Mrs. VIM. Moss, Mrs.
Gee. Martin and three children.
The heavy wagon literally crushed
the buggy to the earth and the
horses all breaking away lett the two
wagons with women aud children
all mixed together and it is a won-

Mrs. Martin was killed instantly,
Mrs. Moss received a scalp wound
and a severe bruise ON the front part
of her head. Her case is very seri-
Gus. Ada, the 6 year old daughter
OF Mrs. Martin, was severely injured
about the knee, not serious. The 5

not injured at all, except a few
slight scratches about the face.

SELDEN BROOKS DEAD.
His Remains Brought to Mexico
Wednesday For Interment.

Selden Minor Brooks died at
Fulton at 2 IN. Tuesday, the result
of a pistol wound. A few weeks
since Mr.. Brooks, who was express
agent on the Jefferson City Branch,
accidentally shot himself with a
pistol while near Cedar City. The
shock from the wound so affected
his nerves that he became insane
and was taken to the insane asy-
lum at Fulton, where he died. He
leaves a wife, who was Miss La
Force, of this city, and a son five
years old and a daughter three
years old. Mr.. Brooks was a son
of john T. Brooks, formerly edl-
itor of the Mexico LEDGER. Selden
was a young man of exemplary
habits and at the time of his death
was a deacon in the Christian
Church at Jefferson City. He was
a true friend, loving father and
devoted husband. We know OF
few young men who stood hieher
in the community than he did.
The writer of this knew him as
man and boy for 20 years and a
nobler character and a man of more
sterling worth or a higher minded
man we never knew. His family
in this their darkest hour has the
81 mpathy of the entire community.

GOOD LUCK.

Dr. Prices Cream Baking Powder is often called the
Good-Luck Baking Powder.
Owing to the fact that good luck always attends the
dse of Dr.. Prices, it is not essential to use it the moment
it is mixed nor is it required to have the over always just

luck after all, but the exact accuracy and care exercised in
the preparation and combination of all the ingredients Of
Dr. Prices Cream Baking Powder. Competent chemists
are employed to test the strength and purity of each
ingredient. Nothing is trusted to chance. Hence: 1t 10

ing most delicious bread, biscuit. pastry and cakes that
remain moist and sweet Only Baking Powder that con-

ported by all authorities as free from Ammonia,
Alum, or any other adulterant. In fact, the
purity of this ideal powder has never been ques-
toned.

A Cold He'll.

According to the Scandinavian
mythology, all who die bravely in
battle are snatched away to Valhalla,
Odrn's magnificent banquet hall in
the sky. Those who, after lives OF
ignoble labor or inglorious ease, die
Of sickness descend to a cold and
dismal cavern beneath the ground
called Niffheim-i. g., the mist
world. This abode is ruled by the
goddess Of death, whose name i.
He'll. The place of torment for rep
rebates is N~astrond, deeper undel
ground than Niffbeim and far to
ward the frigid North.
The grim prison is described il

prose "E1da," written in Iceland il
the thirteenth century: sin Mas
trond there is a vast and direfu
structure with doors that face tn

As Others Heard Him.

From the Lewiston Journal.
Up town there is a phonograph,
and the man who is running it is a
hotel owner. He had a caller Tues
day whose ''dander' was up. The
room was quite full of people, and
the caller had an insane desire to
give his man a "piece of his mind"
He did so. He berated him up hill
and down. He didn't leave him,
as he expressed it, in any kind of
shape. ALI the time the object of
shape. All the time the object of
the attack had on the counter by
his side the photograph in action.
only the caller didn't know it.
When he had finished the Lewiston
man said:
"Are you done?"
"Yes, | am DONE" was the reply.
"Just one moment" was the re-
joinder: 81 want you to hear what
you said,'' and the merciless pho
nograph vas reversed and the record
pronounced through the machine so
that all could hear it.
A blush overspread the callers
face. He listened in wonder and
surprise. As oaths and epithets
flowed out of the machine, the exact
reproduction of his own vitupera-
ton, he. moved away, and when all
was done a man more sheepish and
ashamed could not be found. Said
he, after a moments thought, turn
ing to the Lewiston man, Il have
had a valuable lesson. No man
who would talk like that in pablic
has any right to be considered. /
want you to pull that record, as you
call it, off from that machine and
give it to me. I'll pay for it,
1t was done and the caller stood
by the counter muttering apologies
and whiting into pieces the wax
cylinder that contained his remarks.

s E AND AMMONIA.
Remarkable Contrast In the Effect of
Two Poisons on the Complexion.

The slow absorption of many
poisons changes in some more or
less modified form the complexion,
but arsenic and ammonia show their
effect about as quickly as any. The
popular belief that arsenic clears the
complexion has led many silly
women to kill themselves with it in
small, continued doses.
It produces a waxy, ivory-like ap-
pearance Of the skin during a GER
tain stage of the poisoning, but its
terrible after effects have..become too
we'll known to make it of common
use as a cosmetic.
The effects of ammonia upon the
complexion are directly the opposite
to that Of arsenic. The first symp-
tom of ammonia poisoning which
appears among those who work in
ammonia factories is a discoloration
of the skin of the nose and forehead
This gradually extends over the face
until the complexion has a stained,
blotched, and unsightly appearance

the complexion.
Many people are SLOWLY absorbing
ammonia poison without KNOWN,
it. The use Of ammonia in thI
manufactures has greatly increases
of late, and it is unquestionabl,
used as an adulterant In certain
food preparations. Official analyst
have plainly shown its use even il
such cheap articles Of every day con
sumption as baking powders. Tn
continued absorption of ammonia il
even minute quantities as an adul
terant in food is injurious not merel
from its effect upon the complexion
but because it destroys the eoatin
of the stomach and causes dyspepsi:
and kindred evils.

His style is distinctly epigram-

an Introduction and q peroration.
There are few of his sentences that

publican newspapers have abused
him because of his levity in dis
GUESSING public questions. Mt.
Mckinley, they declared, is digni-
fed and solemn as become an ora
tor, but Governor Campbell stops
to make the people laugh. This
criticism led Campbell to say at
Celina : "The Republican papers
don't like it because I am not grave
and serious in my manner. Well,
| am very much in earnest, but it
eeems to me that the farmer, bur-
dened as he is with a protective
tariff, has enough to make him
solemn. I don't want to add to his
iueubriousnees. I try to say some-
thing funny to take his mind
off the troubles the tariff has
brought upon him." Again, at
New Bremen, when the audience
laughed loudly at something he
said, he uttered this reproof: 81

turb the arrangements now being
made for the big Republican funer.

Dogs Conversation.

Dogs in o native or wild state
never bark; they simply whine,
howl and growl; the noise which we
call barking is found only among
those that are domesticated. Co.
lumbus found that to be the case
with the dogs he first brought to
America and left at large, for on his
return he tells US that they had lost
their propensity to bark. Scientific
men say that barking is really an
effort on the part of the dog to
speak.
