A Cure for Mosquito Bites.
From IN Exchange.


The best antidote for the bite OF
a mosquito is undoubtedly ammonia
weakened with a little water or salt
water. Some people go so far as to
press the poison out of the bite with
some small metal instrument like
the point OF a watch key before
applying the antidote. This prevents
the painful swelling that sometimes
occur. As in other cases, Gone
mans meat is another mans poi
son." and the same remedy viii
not apply to all individuals. Some
find camphor most efficacious and
salt and water will not avail. Am
monia, however, seems to be gen.
orally successful as a neutralizer of
the mosquito poison. Where there
are large quantities of mosquitoes
and no reason for their appearance
is apparent, it is well to look about
the premises for something which
attracts them. An uncovered bar
rel of rain-water will bring them in
hordes, and damp places and stag
nant pools are spots where they de-
light to congregate.

A heroic attempt vas made at
Eureka school house, just south OF
Rush Hill, to organize a Third party
club. The meeting was well adver-
tised and the county vas raked with
a fine tooth comb in order to get all
voters in this county who are in
sympathy with this Third party
movement to be present. The result
of this grand movement to secure
freedom from the ills said to be put
upon the people by the two old par
ties, was the gathering of seven peo-
pie, who are said to have formed a
club, which is expected to rip this
county up the back politically, SC to
speak. Ifonlyone person had been
present the club would have been
formed, and, as a matter of fact,
the results would have been the
same. The voters of Audrain
county are not in favor of the Third
party movement. What they have
to accomplish in the way of tariff re-
form will be attempted through the
Democratic party. Charley Farrah
was made permanent chairman and
G. A. Slime was made permanent
secretary. Just what the word "per-
manent" means in this connection
is hard to guess.

closed.
5. A want of reverence. for SUI

II. Answering questions put to
others.
Il. Beginning TO eat as soon as

THE BRIDGE WENT DOWN.
A Wabash Freight Train Wrecked
and Fourteen Cars in the
Bed of the Greek West
of Town.

Friday morning at a quarter to six
an east bound freight train was
ditched at the Wabash bridge west
of town. There is quite a grade
Just west of the bridge and while
coming down this a truck on n of
the ears became loose, dragging the
wheels sideways. This was about
three hundred yards above the
bridge. By the time it reached the
bridge several ears were off the
track, which, when they struck it,
went through to the bed of the
creek, fifty feet below. Six cars
piled up here, the rest of the train
having crossed. Three of these
were completely ruined, only the
wheels being recognizable. East OF
the bridge the track is torn up and
beams were carried hundreds of
feet. Cars lay on both sides of the
track and upon the hillside. The
caboose and engine were the only
portions of the train not damaged,
fourteen cars being ruined beyond
repairs. No one was killed. John
w. Duncan, of Chillicothe, who had
twenty head Of horses on the train,
was seriously hurt in the back and
hips while sleeping in the caboose.
Two horses were killed and others
were hurt and damaged. Wheat,
oats and corn dam up the creek
while cars of green fruit are strewn
along the gulch forhundreds ofyards.
There is nothing of the bridge left
standing except the frame work of
its sides, the large iron rods of
which are bent like wire. Piles of
ties were blocked up six Or eight
feet high. No blame can be attach
ed to any of the employees, for, as
stated before, the accident was due
altogether to a defective car. The
conductor, VIM. Bryant, engineer
Max Owens and fireman Tom Pear
soil all escaped without a scratch.
The wrecking train came down
from Clark about 10 O'Clock and the
pile-driver arrived at IL O'Clock from
Moberly. Work was begun within
an hour after the accident and by
working both day and night they
will clear the track and build a
new bridge within two or three
days. The Wabash trains now run
over the C. & A. track from this
city to Centralia where they return
to their own road. 1t is the largest
wreck that ever occurred in this part
OF the State on any road, and it
was very lucky that it was not a
passenger train, for then the deaths
would have numbered up in the
hundreds.

ABOARD STEAMER ST. LOUIS,
June 21.-We come again singing
the praises of the beautiful sunny
south land. Our schools closed at
Uvalde, Texas, May 20, with an
entertainment at the Grand Opera
House on the evenings of the 10Th
and Goth, after a term of nine
months, since which time we have
been travelling and visiting friends
and relatives at Cline, SAMSON, San
Antonio, Beeville, Orange, Tex,
and New Orleans. The Southern
people are noted abroad for their
hospitality, and truly do they de-
serve it. In all our travels north,
east and west, we have ever receiv-
ed politeness and civility but never
have we seen such utter unselish-
ness displayed toward a stranger as
has been shown US during the past
few months spent in the South.
We visited the schools and all places
of interest in San Antonio and New
Orleans. In the latter city the
superintendent and teachers all ex-
erted themselves to entertain US.
They not only showed us every
courtesy, but the pupils presented
III with elegant bouquets and other
testimonials of their appreciation of
visitors from a distance. Their
buildings and grounds are beautiful
and their schools excellent. Each
room has its own garden spot which
the pupils tend and cultivate. Some
plant cotton, some cane, others
flowers or vegetables. We were en-
tertained in royal style by our
friends, Mr.. and Mrs. I. J. Gowan,
of New Orleans. Mrs. Cowan's
father, DR.. Ethan Allen,o Vermont,
is m own nephew of Ethan Allen,
the illustrious soldier of historical
fame, for whom he was named.
We visited in New Orleans five
aaaayys and would advise any one GO
ing there never to miss visiting the
Exposition grounds, City Park,
Custom House, Pieayune, Howard
Library Cotton Exchange, French
Market, Lake Pontchartrain, Tulane
Museum, Lee Circle, the beautiful
cemeteries and the United States
Mint. We have been on board the
steamer "City If st. Louis" for
nine days. 1t is one OF the ten of
the Anchor Line between st. Louis

12x12 feet, fitted up in elegance.

The bill of fare each meal is equal
to the best city hotels. Every one
seems to be enjoying himself. We

morning where he will remain for

JERSEY CATTLE ESSAYS.
An Opportunity o Missouri Far
mers to Win Some Prizes,

At a meeting of the board of di-
reetors of the American Jersey Cat
tie club, held May 4, 1892, it was
directed that fifty prizes of $25 each
should be offered for acceptable
essays on Jersey cattle. The COM
petitionis to be governed by the fol
lowing rules:
1. Subject, Jersey cattle-Any-
thing pertaining to their history,
value, usefulness, care, treatment,
pcculiarities of product, etc. 1t is
desired that these essays shall cover
as far as possible all the points on
which present owners, intending
buyers, persons who do not, but
who could p~rofitably keep Jerseys,
consumers of milk, butter, etc.,
would naturally desire information.
No essay shall contain less than
600 or more than 900 words.
All essays must be submitted on
or before Sept. 1, 1892. They may
be sent earlier, and the committee
request as prompt attention as is
practicable.
All essays submitted are to be the
property of the American Jersey
Cattle club, regardless of prizes.
No essay will be awarded a prize
unless it is considered by the
committee to merit publication.
Forty of the prizes are open to
competition by men. Ten of the
prizes are open to competition by
women, and,in view of the great in
terest taken in Jersey cattle by
women, it is confidently expected
that many will submit valuable es-
says.
Prizes will be awarded and paid
within sixty days after contest
closes. Well-known gentlemen
will act as judges in this COMPETE
ton.
Be sure and write on only one
side of the paper, and write simply,
just as you would talk. Don't criti-
else or attack other breeds. Don't
try to cover too many poin is, but
take one part of the subject and
make it complete. If you wish to
write more, put it in another essay.
Competitors may submit as they
choose. Circulars relating to the
contest will be sent on application
to any one. All communications
should be addressed to the Ameri-
can Jersey Cattle club, No. 1 Broad
way, New York city.
