MORE BURGLARIEs.

The residence of Mr.. Clint Gid
dings was entered one night recent
ly by burglars and lot of canned
goods preserves and such other de-
licacies as were in the pantry were
appropriated.
Tuesday night the residence of MIR.
L. NJ. Simon on East Main street
was entered, the refrigerator broken
into and lot of preserved goods
taken.
On the same street and next door,
DR.. J. D. Rodgers residence was en-
tered the same night and what the
burglars perhaps thought was a full
case of canned goods Or preserves.
stolen. but in this they were April
fooled, for upon moonlight ex-
animation over in Mr.. Simon's yard
they discovered that they had stolen
a case of patent medicine and there
abandoned it because it was not q
spring medicine and out of season.
These burglaries are getting to be
alarmingly frequent and there seems
to be no remedy to break them up
save to buy off the burglars as did
Mr.. Alex Simon with a notorious
chicken thief. He kept loosing
chickens, and while pretty well salts
fed as to who was getting them he
could not catch the thief or get
evidence sufficient to convict him,
so he took HIM into his confidence,
told that he knew all about who it
was getting his chickens, but didn't
want toprosecute the party, but was
tired of it, adding that any time he
was hard up for a quarter to come
around and get it, but to let his
chickens alone. He gave the negro
a quarter then, has given him several
since, and no one has stolen chicken
from him since, though, like the old
story of the man who gave neigh
Dor 300 pounds of pork year to
quit stealing his hogs, the man
agreeing, adding however, that he
would loose pork by it, the negro
sticks to his contract though he
doubtless looses money on 1t, as
MIR. S. claims that it is cheaper for
him.

show does not make any preten-

road show" with any number OF
large combinations, it is credita,
BILE little circus, with a small but Sc
lect menagerie. The tumbling and
bar performance was above the av-

excellent. Each of the performances
was fairly well attended and no
complaint was heard that the show
was not worth the price of admis-
sion.
The concert at the conclusion of
the performance is about on a par
with the concerts of the large shows.
They go from here to Hampstead.

The passage of the direct tax bill
by the last Congress, repaying the
direct taxes raised in the several
States years ago, is likely to have a
bad effect in reviving old claims
against the government. A number
of these claims have, in consequence
been raked up in the last few
months and will be presented to the
next Congress; and, encouraged by
the success with the direct tax bill,
grand raid will be made upon the
treasury.

Funds Forthcoming.

ID. N. Tlllotson, chairman Of the
building committee of the Baptist So
cicty here, received q telegram Tues
day from Rev. Shanafelt, of Huron, the
Baptist missionary, stating that 81, 300
was forthcoming and a part of it was
on the road, to be used in completing
the Baptist church. A few weeks ago
a meeting Of the Baptist Board Of Mis-
sions was held here, at which time the
matter Ct raising funds for complet-
ing the church cdifce was placed be-
fore them. l 800 will be necessary to
finish the church, Of which amount
$500 is due the society from the board,
which was pledged when the society
here was organized; $500 is received
semi-annually from this source on the
pastors salary. and as the church has
no pastor this amount will be applied
on the building fund. The remaining
$500 of the $1,000 the board has pre-
sented to the church, leaving only 5000
to be raised at home.
The funds being assured, work will
begin next week.

A Curious Injunction,

There is an injunction on the Elk
Greek Cave, from which so many band
some specimens have been taken out.
One Mcbride owns the claim on which
the mouth Or entrance to the cave
is located, but the adjoining claimants
contend that the greater portion Of the
cave is on their claim, hence have Sc
cured an order from the court restrain
ing Mcbride from entering or permit
ting anyone to enter the cave beyond
the first chamber. Mcbride guards
the enterance with a Winchester and
the other claimants also hang around
with Winchesters. Fred I. Evans is
said to be backing Mcbride, and Dead
wood parties the adjoining claimants.

Is Alum Potsonousl
Halle Journal Of HEALTH

"This question has caused q good
deal Of discussion. Alum is used by
many bakers to whiten their bread,
enabling them to use an inferior -four.
1t is most extensively employed as a
cheap substitute for cream Of tartar
in the manufacture Of baking powders.
1t has not been considered Immediately
dangerous; although it continued It
induces dyspepsia and obstinate con-
stipation. 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 powders"
"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 he. We
suspect that the cause exists in the
individual poisoned; some popularity
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 secre-
tons may be healthy but in unusual
proportions, and that these less or
greater proportions in combination
with the alum constitute a poison"
"For example, two parts of mercury
and two parts of chlorine form calomeI,
which is not poisonous, but change the
proportions to n part mercury aud
two parts OF chlorine, and We get
corrosive sublimate, which is a deadly
poison.
"Ihen again we know nothing Of
the constitutional pecul,arities. Why
is it that one person can eat all kinds
Of green fruits and vegetables with
impunity, while the same ourse might
cost another individual his life2 One
person can handle poison ivy and srmac
without being in the least affected;
another is poisoned If he approaches TO
within ten feet of them.
Out Of a family residing in a malarial
district, some OF the members will
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
persons are actually 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
dangerous" SO
The Scientific American published
in a recent number a list of alum and
ammonia baking powders, which is Of
great value at this time. Following is
the list compiled from official reports.
