NO HARM WAS DONE.
Scarlet Fever Was Not Spread b,
Public Funeral.

In the Chronicle Of this city a week
ago was published an item stating
that death from scarlet fever had
occurred near Carlton and the child
was buried with public ceremonies
with great danger to to the eommun-
ity therefrom and rejecting severely
upon the family for allowing it. We
are informed that the statement is
entirely false and has not only done
much injury to the feelings Of the
family but has been an injustice to
them. The death was that of a
daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. D. W.
Martin living on the old Baxter place.
At the funeral were only nine men
and they went directly from the
house to the cemetery where with
brief services the little form was laid
away Another daughter is danger.
ously i'll Of the same disease. Papers
should be very careful not to allow
owe for sensation TO cause injustice.

Is ALUM POISONOUS!
Whitens the Bakers Bread, but Plays
Havoc with the Stomach Of the
CnnsuynAr

esS~eseSe
/ Alum is used by many bakers to
whiten their bread, enabling them to
use an inferior flour, and it is also
employed as cheap substitute for
cream Of tartar in the manufacture Of
baking powder. Its use in bread and
baking powder is very detrimental to
health, producing dyspepsia and OBJ
stinate constipation. and under GER
tain conditions Of the human system
results in poisoning. What these con-
diti0ns are so far as each individual
is concerned can only be surmised:
some popularity Of the sytsem pro-
ducing a morbid change in the secre-
tion OF the stomach with which the
alum combines and forms an active
poison; or, the secretions may be
healthy but in abnormal proportions,
and these lesser or greater proper
tions in combination with the alum
constitute poison just as two parts
of mercury and two parts chlorine
form calomel, which is not poisonous
while one part Of mercury and two
parts Of chlorine yield corrosive sub
Innate, which is most deadly posion.

HIGH PRAISE FOR BURTON.
Herington Times Thinks He Win the
Senatorship Easily.

Herington Times; We notice sew
eral predictions going the rounds in
the newspapers regarding the sena-
torial outlook two years hence--also
whole lot Of speculations as to what
effect the appointment Of Judge Hook
in place OF Senator Baker will likely
have, There is no doubt in the world
that had Baker accepted the Judge
ship Burton would have been an easy
winner in the Legislature as it stands.
Neither is there a shadow Of doubt
but what Mr. Burton will 90 into the
fight two years hence at least from
fifteen to twenty points ahead Of
where he Is now. OF course Mr..
Bakers friends have held out to him
that by standing by Mr.. Hook he will
strengthen himself in the contest two
years hence, but their purpose in that
was to land Hook and not for any
particular love they bear to the man
who only went In by mere scratch
four years ago and who will never
come within gun shot Of the United
States senate again il he lives to be a
hundred years old. 1t is our private
opinion, publicly expressed, that Mr.
Baker will slide out Of the United
States senate fifty times easier than
he slid in and tina. the next legisla.
ture will give the Hon. j. r. Burton
Of Dickinson county the nomination
and election, sure and certain, with
out equiyocstion or mental reserva-
ton He is the best qualified for that
position Of any gentleman before the
people today. A true and unfinch-
ing Republican and broad enough to
represent the great State Of Kansas in
the councils Of the nation. Our
Judgment is that he will win, hands
down, as soon as the proper time
rolls around.

his trip to Chihuahua "My brother
will return to Kansas and do all in
his power to straightenout his affairs.

per. He is assured they will not mo-

take for him to leave this country.

Anyhow, he has made up his mind,
and think finally, to return home.

OF Mike that the superintendent is
holding his place open for him in the
hope that he will return. The family
relations were pleasant and on the
morning he left Mrs. Bert and Mike
were planning for the future. He ap-
peared to devotedly love his wife and
to adore his children, and he was as
kind and gentle to them all as a man
could possibly have been. Family
troubles then could not have been the
cause Of bis mysterious leaving and
the true reason must be looked for
elsewhere, but what that Is time alone

talk about Gillett returning to the
United States to settle with his cred
tors is all bosh. II a settlement is
effected it will be through his attorn-
eys. Not that Gillett has any fears
about returning but, he says. it is not
necessary. He is well and happy in
bis present location. The people Of
that town seem to like his presence
very well and he and his family have
already made the acquaintance Of the
swell people OF the city. He is de.
sirous Of compromising but will not
come to meet bis creditors.
"The story has been put in circu-
lation that Gillett was going to start
ranch down there for the purpose Of
teaching the Mexcans how to raise
Hereford cattle. This is a mistake.
He, Joseph Reed and myself have
figured with the people at Chihuahua
on starting an immense dairy. They
have made us satisfactory terms and
just as soon as | have sold out my in.
terests here ! shall 60 back to Mexico
and start with Gillett on this enter
prise. Never worry, Gilett has
enough money to conduct any enter
prise Of this kind He is very well
pleased with the outlook"

Mr.. Hurd Of his trip:
"Mr. Gillett is looking we'll and is
apparently happy. His family is
with him and they are waiting pa
tiently for matters to be cleared up.
He likes Chihuahua very much-and
it is a fine city-and intends to To-
cate there permanently. He has
three or four good offers but has not
decided what he will do. He expects,
however, to make his home there.
He will probably come back to Kan
sas soon to straighten up matters but
only temporarily. Just how soon he
will come do not know. Mrs. Gil

Mrs. Gillett's trip was merely for a
