again make the race for state treas

within an ace of being nominated.
He will doubtless go into the conven.

well as by many new ones. He is a
young man selfmade-iust in the

safe and competent hands. He is

which alone will win him friends, az

WHAT Is GOOD BAKING POWDER!

1t is a well known fact that carbo-
nate of ammonia is used by bakers in
the preparation of the firest and most
wholesome bread and cake, and has
been from time immemorial. 1t is
among the Oldest and at the same
time most healthfnl constituents of
baking powders. 1t is all evolved in
gas by the heat of the oven, and leaves
no trace of itself in the food, and it is
this that gives it its great value as a
leavening agent in the opinions of the
physicians. New York Journal.

We DID IT.--Bill Burtanks, the
mule whacker on the other side of the
creek, is trying to make a great mys-
terry of the fact that he got dose Of
bird-shot in this town the other even
ing. He says that some one certainly
attempted to assassinate him rs he was
riding along Cheyenne street at mid
night, and he thinks OF offering re-
ward OF $500 for the arrest of the
wretch.
William is simply playing the pub
lie, but he can't play us. We had just
stretched out on our cot Thursday
night, aud the hour was about II,
when Bill came along on his old
dromedary. We heard him GUESSING
while he was yet q long ways off.
When he reached the Office he dis
mounted and hunted up club, and
was about to smash in window when
we peppered him with a handful of
fine shot kept on hand for such emer-
gencies. We hardly believed any of
them would get through the buckskin
and dirt, but it seems they did, and he
had to have doctor to pick them out.
The best thing Bill can do is to keep
shet. He attempted smart trick and
got left, and there isn't man this side
of Tombstone who would have cared
if all the shot had gone clean through
him and his dromedary, too.

Major Skinner, who has loafed around
this town for the last six months, has
any friends who have his welfare at
heart, they will call him off the perch.
1t seems the Major has been laying his
pipes for office, and that our article of
two weeks ago, asking him where he
stole his last COW, has somewhat
clouded his prospects. He now
threatens to shoot us on sight, and was
seen at the Postoffice yesterday with

ARSENIC and Ammonia.

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 them
selves with it in small, continued doses.
1t produces waxy, ivory-like APP
pearance of the skin during a certain
stage of the Poisoning, bat 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
com plexion are directly opposite to
that of arsenic. The first symptom of
ammonia poisoning which appears
among those who work in ammonia
factories is discoloration of the skin
of the nose and forehead. This gradu-
ally extends over the face until the
complexion has stained, blotched
and unsightly appearance. With peo-
pie who take ammonia into their sys-
TENS iii smaller doses, as with their
water or food, these striking symptoms
do not appear so soon. The only
effect of the poison that is visible for
time is a general unwholesomeness
and sallowness of the complexion.
Many people are slowly absorbing
ammonia poison without knowing it.
The use of ammonia in the manufac-
lures has greatly increased of late, and
IL is unquestionably used as an adulter-
ant in certain food preparations.
Official analyses have plainly shown
its use even in such cheap articles Of

Hello, toutl"
"That's right. Call me by my name.
I'm a tout. But look here, do you
know there il wrong impression as to
what a tout is? Well, there is. Peo-
pie think q tout is one who hangs
around the pool-room at race track
and waits for suckers. To advise one
man to bet on Bohemian Led, and an
other man to bet on Grass Widow, and
another to place hi, money on Biddy
McPhee, and so on till he gets man
to bet on every race. He marks them
all, and when the race is over, and. for
insance, Bug Holiday, wins the race,
he lays for the man who bet on the
Bug, and when the lucky plunger
draws his money the fellow demands
81 or 80 for giving his friend the win
ming tip.
"Well. that is what most people
think is tout, but it's all wrong. A
tout is O fellow who does more work at
race track at night than at day. He
sleeps there all night. on the grass or
on the roof of shed, and gets up ut
o'clock in the morning and visits for
the trainers and jockeys to exercise the
horses that are to run that afternoon.
The tout thus finds out the exact con-
dition of each horse. If Long John
Reilly has been fayorite in the pools
the night before and does not show up
well in the early morning practice the
tout will not bet on him, but will place
his money on Tony Mullane. Lefty
Mari, King Kelly, Chris Green, Joe
Good, or whichever horse shows up
the best in the trial. The tout always
has few dollars to bet himself, and,
in the long run, seldom quits loser, for
he follows the races from place to
