ance. With people who take ammonia
into their system in smaller doses, as
with their water or food, these striking
symptoms do not appear 30 soon. The
only effect Of the poison that Is visible
for time Is q general unwholesomeness
and sallownees of the complexion.
Many people are slowly absorbing am
monia poison without knowing it. The
use of ammonia in the manufactures has
greatly increased OF late, and 1t is un-
questionsbly used as an adulterant in
certain food preparations. Official analy-
sis 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
effect upon the complexion, but because
1t destroys the coating of the stomach
and causes dyspepsia and kindred evils.
Professor Long, Of Chicago, is authority

parts Of water there Is one part Of ammo

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 1t In small, continued doses.
1t produces waxy, ivory-like appear

the poisoning, but It's terrible after
effects have become too we'll known to
make 1t Of common use as cosmetic.
The effects of ammonia upon the COM
plexion are directly the opposite to that
Of arsenic. The first symptom of ammo
mia 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

CONCERNING THE INSURANCE DEPART
MENT.

AAfbOA~~AAsS@'
MENT
TO me Board Of Trustees of the Kansas State
Farmers Alliance and IJpdu'tridI linton:
AS chairman of your committee on In
surance deem it proper should at this
time make a statement to your board
concerning these departments Of ALI
ance work.
Our property line, as given by Hon.
Fred jackson, secretary, for the quar-
tor ending june 80, 1891, is as follows:
Two hundred and fifty applications,
$1S7,565; Hail applications, $1,T6-cov-
erlng $4,000 acres Of growing crops; notes
on hand In Hail Department, $4,000;
Property Department, $4,000; making a
total OF $3l 300 in available resources for
payment Of losses and necessary ex-
penses, together with $4,000 cash in
hands Of said company for same purpose,
and no debts or liabilities whatever.
In the seven years, or nearly 80, this
work, in the property line, has been car
ried on under the original name, and as
the Farmers Insurance-beiDg absorbed
byour state Alliance, as you well know,
at our annual meeting in August, 1889.
There has been but two small assess
ment5 made upon its members. The
last OF these, in December, 1882. All
losses have been honestly and promptly
paid.
Our life department Is now issuing
policies to members, as ordered by the
executive board at meeting held at Au-
gusta on July 90, 1891. In this depart
ment 10 now laid, we believe, the fOunda-
tlOn Of one OF, II not the very best, inst-
tutions ever yet provided for farmers and
other members Of our industrial organ
izatlons.
So now with these three lines provided
for within ourselves, there Is no neces-
sIty for our members going elsewhere
for the benefits of insurance on these
lines. But there is every incentive for
all, farmers, especially, to patronize our
own institutions. They are just as safe,
more prompt and equitable than any,
and will cost each member not to exceed
one-half, II not even less than one-third Of
what we have to pay elsewhere, upon the
Property line, and absolutely the least
expensive in the Life line. And besides
all, they are the sefest, because of the
double protection thrown around them
by reason of their auxiliary relation to
the state Alliance, thereby being under
the supervision Of the trustees OF that or
ganization. Respectfully submitted,
w. II. BIDDLE,

uses much less iron than in former years,
the enormous consumption is to many in
comprehensive. The demand for iron in
producing all klnds Of farm machinery i'm

any previous year, and the quantity Of iron
thus used is enormous.

The demand for structural iron is also
very large. though some foreign beams are
offered in competition with American and

An unusual number Of large sharks was

As matter Of fact, however. the true man

occur fossil in the phosphate beds Of South

ten feet in length is liable to be called
man-eater, and not without warrant for
all of them will attack man with slight
provocation or when suffering from hunger.
A few days ago Willard Nye of New Bed
ford, Mass, was attem ting TO feed a small
dusky shark at Woods Holl wi h the meat
of a clam. He had theory that ths ami
NAL would turn before taking the food and
would be slow in its movements, but to his
surprise the shark snapped sidewise las

three fingers OF the hand that fed 1t. Other

A FAILURE AT MACON.

MACON, GA, Oct IA. Gibian & Co..
wholesale liquor aud tobacco dealers, were
closed to-day by the sheriff on a mortgage
In favor of Lilienthal & Gassenheimer of
Montgomery for $4,000. The amount of
the liabilities is placed at SIS, 200, but may
go over this amount. The assets may reach
$3.50, 900 consisting Of stock Of goods, ac-
counts, and stocks and bonds. Fully five
sixths of the Indebtedness is owed in Macon,
about SIS 900 Of it being scattered
among different banks. Every one here,
however, Is fully secured Mortgages were
filed last night TO the amount Of $4,000.
Gibian & Co. is one Of the oldest and
largest firms in the city, and are consid-
cred one of the most substantial. The fail
ure is a complete surprise. The trouble was
eau ed by Door collections, and deprecia-
tion in the securities held by the firm. The
loss on securities alone is said to amount to
over So, 900. The firm also lost Is, 900 by
the Backer failure. Although much OF the
Indebtedness is owed in Mac N, no one here
will be effected by the failure.
A mad dog created havoc in Macon last
night by attacking a large number of
people aud severely biting nine, both white
and colored. The dog ran through a num-
Der Of streets at a late hour of the night
attacking every one it came in contac5
with. A crowd tried TO kill the dog, but
he escaped AMI is still at large. The people
bitten are all doing well, but the outcome
is being anxiously watched.
News was received in Macon to-day that
Robert Lee Statham, young travelling man
well known throughout the state, is dying
with consumption. He is not expected to
live through the night.
