SUICIDE BY AMMONIA
The Terrible Agony Does Not Prevent It's
ISp.

No poison brings death with more mad
ening agony than ammonia, but that fact
does not seem to discourage the suicide.
The man Harrowitz. who deliberately
swallowed fatal dose Of the drug in
New York recently, is only one among the
many who have gone the ammonia route
to death in spite of the circulating pain.
DR.. Blyth has recorded thirty cases of
ammonia poisoning in small London
district of which he is health officer Pro-
fessor Mitchell mentions twenty-five cases
and four have occurred during the short
time DR.. Sennings has been connected
with the coroner's office in New York.
Cases of slow poisoning from ammonia
are of constant occurrence among men who
work in irs manufacture, or even in decom-
posing substances which give it off in con-
siderable quantities. Ammonia slowly and
from day to day taken into the system,
causes the complexion to lose its freshness,
and the skin of men who get heavily i'm
pregnated with it has a disagreeable,
blotched and discolored appearance.
Taken into the stomach from day to day
in even the small quantities used to adul-
terate 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 rapid increase in the use of
ammonia for various purposes, and the
consequent increase in its manufacture,
have made it one of the most easily OBJ
tanned poisons and, although everybody is
familiar with it in some form, there is
surprising amount of ignorance of its dan
gerous qualities. Its use as an adulterant
in any food preparation is simply a crime,
and as a crime should be punished.

JUDGE BoTKIN.

Judge Theo. Botkin, judge of the Thirty
second judicial district of Kansas aud
widely known over the state, was here yes
terday calling upon his friends. He re-
ports fine rain in the southwest day or
two ago which continued about one hour.
More is needed to make the ground plow
| nicely.
The Thirty-second district comprises the
six southwestern counties, and these coun-
ties are again settling up, the prairie
schooner is seen on every hand, and the
stayers are reasonably prosperous Wheat
has been a good crop and a fine yield this
year, and oats and corn are fairly good.
The people are in excellent spirits and
satisfied. The judge was reticent in rela
tion to the Brennan case. He only said
that he would not sit as the court on the
trial of that case. Not for the reason that
any threats had been made, but because
he desired the prisoner to have fair trial
and that both sides be treated well, which
would be done in any event. The Bren-
nan case will be tried the same as any other
case in the district court of Stevens county.
1t will be somewhat difficult to get jury
in the case on account of its great publ
city but it can be done, and will be done.
While here Judge Botkin called upon
Judge Reed and Judge Balderston and
renewed his acquaintance with many OF
the members of the bar. The judge says
that his country is very anxious to obtain
close railroad connection with this city
all of which they hoped to accomplish in
a few years, the sooner the better The
Judge was asked if he would attend the
great Southwestern Fair at Wichita and
replied in the negative. He stated that
he was hard at work on his
home. During the summer the judge has
dug out a celler and walled it, all single
handed, and is now about to move his
house upon it.

NORTH AND SOUTH MATCHED
a Great Interstate Pigeon Shooting
Arranged for Next Month.

CHICAGO, Jan. 13.-Preparations are in
active progress here and in New York
City for the grand championship contest,
at live birds to take place between the
North and the South during the first two
weeks in February.
II was first proposed when rcprcscn
taiivc from the Dixie Gun Club, of Flori
da, III. w. Simmons, came to Chicago
and held consultation with local shoot
crs to make the match between Florida
and Illinois crack shots. A challenge
from the Soutnerncrs resulted, and ar
rangemcnts were shortly afterwards per
fcctcd to take a Chicago team with a
special train, which will start South on
the afternoon of February T. Charles f.
Willard. one of the best known amatucrs
in the West, will be the captain Of the
team.
After this team had been chosen it was
proposed to send another team, which
would meet picked teams in New Or
leans, Mobile and Pensacola for chal-
lcngc cup to be embiematic of the cham
pionship and shot for under the Ameri
can Shooting Association rules, the rep
rcscntativc winning the majority of shots
TO hold the cup for one year. The match
cs will probably be at twenty five birds
each per man and held under the super
vision of the local gun clubs.
