80. /. citizen Of the United state

While at jackson Tuesday We
learned that an old gray-headed man
who has been a prominent politician
in this county for more than thirty
years, and who has held many Offices
of trust snd profit is not a citizen Of
the United States. The gentleman is
a Democrat, and for years he has had
the reputation of furnishing the brains
for the Democratic party of this
county. We will not now give his
name-it is not necessary. for we be-
lieve that every intelligent man in the
county who reads this will recognize
the man at once. He is q good man
and q good citizen, and it is too bad
that he yet belongs to a foreign
country.

A Pumpkin story.

Capt. John Langlois says the soil on
his farm just outside the city limits of
this city is so rich that the pumpkin
vines grow so rapidly on it that they
drag the pumkpins all over the field
and often smash them against the
corn stalks and fence. lie has raised,
he says, pumpkins on this farm that
when full grown were so large that
to walk around one . man would have
q mile and q half to walk.
Who can beat this for pumpkins?

Died Of Clover Bloat.

Nelson Brown, a farmer of this
county, yesterday lost nine head
of cattle from clover bloat, this
making total Of thirteen he has
lost this season. Clover bloat is
caused by turning cattle in on
clover pasture while the dew is on
the clover. The gases formed in
the stomach of cattle causes them
to bloat badly, and causes death
because a COW instinctiyely shuts
her teeth AID swallows whenever
she belches, In this way the gas
es are retained and the bloating
goes on until death ensues. A
gentleman Of this city says that
during his experience in farm ing
he fre quently had to contend
against this trouble. He knew
the cause, and he was always able
to save his cattle. Whenever he
observed case of this kind, he
would Immediately place in the
mouth OF the COW thus afflicted q |
large stick which he tied to the
horn on the sides. Then when |
the COW belched the stick kept the |
mouth open, thus allowing the
gases to ezude from the stomach |
and saving the COW. This meth
od OF treatment will be of value toI
farmers generally who have cattle
aifected.-Aurora Herald.

in progress at the beginning of
the month. Il will be safe TO an

polar currents will have broken in
behind progressive storms, and
we Will have the not uncommon
order!of things-storms an warm
to. the eastward with cold wave
following from the northwest. The
fall of temperature will be sudden
and extreme. Tho equinox of
Venus is central on the 7th, in
connection with reactionary dis
turbances beginning on the 9th.
Another wave of warm, equatorial
air, resulting in sharp, electrical
storms, will express itself on these
dates, and be followed promptly
by another cold wave. Watch for
them.
From about the 10th to 18th, in
elusive, the outlook for autumnal
storms calls for watchfulness.
Managers having in charge mari
time interests, and navigators of
our lakes should have an eye for
emergencies during this period.
A polar blast, attended by some
snow to the north, and followed
by frost and freezing may be ex-
pected. About the l7th and 18th
will bring the temperature, and

disturbance. Sudden transitions
from warm to cold will be the or

All that We have said concern
ing the above period will apply
forcibly TO the period running
from 22nd TO 2Gth. The equinox
OF Mercury is central on the 22nd,
and regular storm period is CEN
trsl on the 23rd, with Venus not
entirely away from her disturbin
node, and full moon on the Gath.
Let us count, say the 23rd, 9th

lief that the approaching winter

SUICIDE BY AMMONIA.

The terrible egony does not
prevent it's use. No poison brings
aeath with more maddening ag.
ony than ammonia, but that
fact does not seem to discourage
the suicide. The man Har-
rowitz, who deliberately swal-
lowed fatal dose of the drug
IN New York recently, Is only one
OF The many who have gone the
ammonia route to death IN spite OF
the excruciaring pain DIR. Blyth
mas recorded thirty cases OF ammo
mia poisoning in the small London
district of which he is n health Of
hcer:: Prof. Mitchell mentions
twenty-five casese, aud four nave
occurred during the short time
DR.. Jenkins has been connected
with the cororer's office in New
York.
Cases of slow poisoning from
ammonia are OF constant occur
ence among men who work in its
manufacture, or even in its de-
composing substances which give
it off in considerable quantities
Ammonia slowly and from day to
day taken into the system, causes
the complexion to lose Its fresh
ness, and the skin of men who
get heavily impregnated with it
has a disagreeable blotched and
disagreeable appearance. Taken
into the stomach from day to
day in even small quantities
used to aduleratc food, such as
baking powder, it not only Injuries
the complexion but attacks the
lining OF the stomach and is the
source of much general i'll health.
The recent increase in tho use
of ammonia for various purposes,
and the consequent increase in it's
manufacture, have made it one of
the most easily obtained poisons,
aud, although everybody is famil-
lar with it in some form there is q
surprising amount Of ignorance of
its dangerous qualities. Its use as
an sdulterant IN any food prepara-
ton is simply Il crime, and us q
crime should be punished
