BARBER MAKES A SORRY MISTAKE.

Patrons of Shop I'm Atlantic, Ia, Badly
! Poisoned by Insect Powder.
} RED OAK, Ia., Aug. 20.-A bit of
carelessness has nearly ruined the bar
ber business in Atlantic. It happened
in one of the best shops in the town.
The proprietor had been using insect
powder to kill flies, and in shooting it
on the mirrors got some of the poison
into the bowls used for face powder,
and did not notice it. For two days
this mixed powder was used in powder
ing patrons faces after shaving. The in
sect poison was absorbed by the pores
and produced local blood poisoning, a
great irritation and breaking out re-
sulting. There was a lot of very sore
faces in Atlantic in consequence, and in
the belief that the breaking out was

shop patrons ensued. One hardware
store sold $50 razors in one day, and
the barber shops were deserted. The
breaking out did not last long, and

my position is a peculiar one It is
hard for people to understand how am

SO far as criticism of this administration
goes. It would be in very bad taste or
form to draw comparisons between my
own and Mr.. Cleveland's administra-

for me to state wherein believe this
administration errs. Therefore, have
uniformly refused to express any opin-
ion, to draw any comparisons or to crit
icize, and shall continue that policy"

about the new tariff bill?''

"That is a different matter. That
measure is not fathered by the admins

legitimate matter for discussion. But

speak hastily Of matter that so init
mately concerns the welfare Of party

Of our prosperity as a nation. LaterI
shall prepare careful analysis of the
situation, and shall speak to the people
during the Indiana campaign. I shall
speak two or three times and will let
the people know my views on the tariff
question. Some things that say may
be worth PRINTING!

of there being no quorum. The last
