No great efforts made by other manufacturers

It is that other company has the facilities
but its greed and cupdy induced in evil hour to use

The recent newspaper dlscus-

increase OF Its use in baking pow
ders. People who absorb 1t In

quantities it eats away the coat

and causes death. Slow ammonia

July l. 1865. Was married to
Jane Young, Oct. 90, 1851. Unto
them was born one child, but the
grave soon closed upon both wife
and child, leaving husband and
father bereft. Was again married
to Diantha Meechum Sept. 9Th,
1855. The result Of this union
was four children-t hree boys and
one girl-who remain to mourn a
fathers death their mother having
died Oct. 12, 1869. Since which
the father has been twice married
death severing the ties in each
case. In addition to her grief, the
only daughter has severe,atfilction
to bear, which we trust will re
commend her, not only to the
sympathizer, but also to the chari-
ties of grateful people and an
appreciative county that will re-
ward the deeds of the benefactors
upon at least the first generation
Deceased was for number of
years faithful christian and a
member of the church, at the
time of his death being a member
of the Protestant Methodist
church. Although resident of
LaPlata but a hort time, has liv-
ed near here tor a number of
years, has many friends and ac-
quaintances here and at Kirksville
and surrounding country who will
regret the sad accident, fall
from a ladder, which caused his
death. As a citizen he had the re-
s2ect, and as q christian retained
the confidence of those who knew
him. As soldier he was brave,
bold, courageous and modestly
subordinate to all his superiors.
Did not shrink from necessary ex-
posure nor hesitate when volun-
teers to undertake some difficult
or dangerous task were called for.
His services to his country did
not interfere with nor become q
bar to his service to God, but only
added opportunity and made
greater the necessity for the exer-
else of Godliness. SO in the lull
Of battle, the intervals of the
march or the quiet of the camp
his time and energies were given
to pointing his fellow soldiers
from the bloody battle field to the
cross where the Prince of
Glory conquered sin and death
once for all. Deceased was r
member Of the e. A. R post Of

the funeral was conducted

A STARTLING DISCOVERY.

1Idst Ohlulud Nii No AiA>
journal reporter and Il Normal
Professor visited number OF
wells belonging to prominent resi-
dents of Kirksvllle, and obtained
samples of water to be expert
meme upon" at the Normal
school laboratory. "fhe investi-
cations we're confined to micro
scopic analysis" WITCH means that
u drop of water from each sample
was looked at under the micro
scope. The analysis revealed the
startling information that each
drop of water in the wells of
Kirksyiile, contains a perfect
menaeerie." The boys all know
what a menagerle is, but for the
information of those who may not
know, we will state that it is that
department of the show which the
father visits while his son goes in
to tho big tent to see tie circus
performance. But the menagerie
found in each drop of water differ
ed from any mensgerie boy eve,
saw, from the fact that it contain
ed ANNA ais never seen in q
common circus menagerie and are,
as the reporter and professor
claim, very destructive to human
life. For the benefit of those who
have never behelda perfect men,
agerie," we give the names of the
most prominent and dangerous of
these animals, as classified by
these naturalists last Saturday.
They are as follows: PARAMAE-
CUM BUsARIA, AMAEBA, INFUsoRIA,
PROTOZ0ANS, GREGARINA ELONGATA,
and PRoToMYXA AURANTIACA. Ny,
what an array of "varmints!' 1t
certainly furnishes Kirksville
mothers a sufficient incentive to
keep their children out of Kinks
vile wells. But think of it! Kinks.
vile has become proverbial for
healthfulness, and yet its people
have, for years, been daily swal-
lowing whole mensgeries. Just
imagine if you can how the people
must suffer when myriads OF
such horrid creatures as PRO.

at their "inwards." Stop and shud.

After the startling discovery
mentioned above, the reporter an6
professor secured drop of waite,
from the Normal pond, sometimes
called the Crystal Lake, which they
subjected to searching analysis
Strange to say" it was found to
contain nothing but little mois.
ture. The extreme purity of this
pond water is due, we are told, to
thu action of the sun and waves
which means that to have pure
water it must be pond water, and
the pond SO shallow that the water
may be thoroughly acted upon by
both waves and sun.
The investigation will. no doubt
be of great benefit, as it has con-
clusively demonstrated that -pure
water In Kirksville can only be
obtained at the present time, from
the Normal pond. 1t will also have
much to do with determining the
oest method of supplying our city
with an abundance of pure and
wholesome water.
