II Alum Poisoapusy

"This question has caused good deal
OF discussion. Alum is usdd by many
bakers to whiten their bread, enabling
them to use an inferior flour. It is
most extensively employed as a cheap
substitute for cream of tarter in the
manufacture of baking powders. 1t
| has not been considered Immediately
dangerous; although if continued it in
duces dyspepsia and obstinate constips-
ton. But the fact that many cases Iof
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 or bak-
ing powders"
"Under what conditions then, does
this substance-formerly used only for
mechanical or medicinal purposes-be-
come poisonous? They are certainly
obscure, and at present we can only
surmise what they may be. We sus-
pect that the cause exists in the
individual poisoned; some peculiarly OF
the constitution producing a morbid
change in the secretions of the stomach,
with which the alum combines and
forms an active poison; or the secretions
may be healthy but in unusual proper
tions in combination with the alum con-
stitue poison"
"FOr example, two parts OF mercury
and two parts Of chlorine form calomel.
which is not poisonous, but change the
proportion to one part mercury and two
parts of chlorine, and we get corrosive
sublimate, which is 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 vegetables 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
poisoned if he approaches to within ten
feet OF them. Out of a family residing
IN malarial district, some OF the mem
bers viii. suffer half the year with fever
and ague, while the others will enjoy
excellent health during the entire year
Foods that are wholesome to some per-
sons are actually poisonous to others
This is especially true of some kinds of
fish. There is no safety 10 taking alum
into the stomoch, as 1t is show to be
always injurious, and often dangerous

a recent number list of alum and am-
monia baking powders, which is of great
value at this time. Following is the

Miss HusSey's Influence.

Miss Martha S. Hussey, a member OF
the school committee Of Billerica, ut a
recent town meeting presented to the
citizens an argument for the consolda-
ton of schools, which was replete with
good sense and good logic, and proved to
be very effective. After listening with
interest and marked attention, the town
voted q liberal appropriation for a new
school building to accommodate all ths
children of the south part of the town.

FROM THE MINES.
The Antelope Again Heard From
Report From Harshaw.

Work has been stopped at the Ante
lope mine, near Oracle, but temporarily
only. With 400 tons of high grade rock
and 500 or Geo tons more of fair grade
enough is out for present purposes and
for the carrying out Of intentions for the
immediate future.
The management has determined to
60 into the working of the Antelope on
the safest and most sound business
principles. If the mine will not make
returns from the outset nothing will be
done with it. In fursherance of this in
tention every fair and unfair test has
been made. The ore has been assayed
and sampled in Tucson, California and
Colorado. The invsriable reports we're
Of free milling gold rock. Assays from
100 pound selling sample" from five
dumps, the ore being selected by three
outsiders, shows S16.S5 per ton. Another
lot of samples taken from seven dumps
averaged s19.75, of which one sample
was selected with the intention Of get
ing the very poorest rock on the dumps,
which itself returned over 80, Un-
doubtedly, says General johnson, much
of the ore will go $500 to s6O0.
The test to be worked at the Saginaw
mill will be ten ton lot, to ascertain
the amalgamating qualities OF the ore.
The mill will be put in about Feb
ruary. 1t will be of eighteen tons day
capacity, a Wiswold, which works the
ore by crushing it by weight, instead OF
friction, as with the Huntington. The
rollers weigh 1000 pounds each and
make but twelve revolutions a minute.
The Antelope management intend
working three months without cessa-
tion.

body of ore is reported. A run of 305

A dispatch from Charlotte, n. c., says
that the other night Engineer Dillon, Of
the Danville, Macksville and Southwest
ern railroad. dreamed that large rock
had fallen ON his road near Leatherwood

The dream so impressed him that he de.
clined to make Fis usual trip over the
road in the morning until he had tele-
graphed to ascertain if there was any.
thing the matter at Leatherwood creek.
An answer was returned that verified

came the more expensive silver and

A Curiosity,

One of the greatest curiosities In geo
logical sense yet come TO light has been
unearthed and brought to Eugene, where
it was seen by Press-Times reporter in
company with several scientific men,
among whom was Professor Thomas
Condor of the Oregon State university.
The discovery was made by Fred Bal
ston. He started down the Willamette
river IN boat on hunting and fishing
trip. intending to go to the mouth of the
river. When about six miles below
Eugene the boat struck snag, breaking
the boat open and throwing the whole
outfit into the river. Ralston swan
ashore, went back to Eugene, and then
returned to recover his gun and equip
ments, which were quite valuable.
As he was about to start home he saw
something in the enbankment which
looked liEe human leg. He dug it out
and fountl it to be solid piece of stone,
which was at first supposed to be
mummy. 1t is an entire body, with all
the wrinkles, muscles and lineaments
plainly traceable. The position was that
of corpse prepared for burial
The body represents short, thickset
man, with traces of beard and hair, and
the features would indicate a race now
extinct, resembling somewhat those Of
an Indian, having the fat nose and large
mouth, but the shape of the head indi-
Gates more intelligence. The arms and
legs are short in proportion to the trunk.
The eyes are closed and the hands lying
against the chest. Even the nipples and
ribs are distinct. The body, with the
feet broken off, is a little over three
feet in length, and weighs about 200
pounds.
Professor Condor thinks it Is probably
a carving, but if SO it is one Of the most
wonderful relics of past races yet dis
covered. Hundreds of people have been
trying to get view of it. but only
few have been admitted.-Seattls Press

SAN Francisco, Oct. 21.-The grand
jury late this afternoon made a partial
report to Superior Judge Wallace. The
report consisted of finding two indlct-
ments against Assemblymau Ellwooo
Bruner, Of Sacramento. One indict-
ment charges Bruner with the crime OF
perjury committed while giving
testimony in the grand jury room. The
other indictment charges Bruner with
malfeasance in Office during the late
session of the legislature. The malfeas
ance consisted in killing the bill provid-
ing Cor the cinching Of cut rate brokers.
particularly in the csse of Ottinger, a
ticket broker OF this city, who accuses
Bruner or attempting, in connection
with Assemblyman Mccall, Of Alameda.
to blackmail him out of thousand dol
lars.
Judge Wallace ordered bench war
rants issued for the arrest of Bruner.
which was Immediately done.
Bruner is the assemblyman who was
charged with selling positions on tb.

latlre committee investigated the case
and returned majority report of guilt,
with extenuating circumstances. The
legislature refused to receive the report
OF the committee and so indicated

for nearly an hour. The driver had also II

horses were merely tangled III the were,
and would certainly have been killed had
it not been for the warning received.
