The symptoms of this hideous disease can
not be mistaken; eruptions upon the skin,
sores or ulcers in the mouth and throat,
coppercolored splotches on different parts
of the body and the loss of hair and eye
brows, are infallible signs Of Contagious
Blood Poison. Other and more destructive
symptoms follow, of course, as the disease
progresses; the whole skin surface is often
covered with a mass Of sores, and even bone

A NEW INDUSTRY.
ottumwa Gets the Nichols Manufac.
turing Company.

turing company.
Ottumwa is to have another large
manufacturing concern. Arrange
ments have been completed by which
the Nichols Square company is to oc-
cupy the room formerly used by. the
Union Iron works on West Main street
and as soon as the factory can be got
ten ready operations sfwill be begun.
Mr.. Nichols is now In Bridgepor,
Conn.,, where he has purchased the
machinery of the Bridgeport Power
company, and is packing it, and pre-
pairing it for shipment here. 1t is ex-
pected to have everything ready and
the actual manufacture of the square
will be started in not more than four
weeks. The plant will employ from
between Is to 20 men to start with and
as the square is introduced to the trade
it is expected to increase the force
from time to time.
This product is something that was
only recently patented by Mr.. Nichols,
and in the short time it has been plac-
ed on the market it has proven great
success. He has interested number
of Ottumwa citizens with him and a
company with capital stock of
$40, 1000 was formed. At first arrange
ments were completed with an eastern
concern to manufacture the square,
but it was soon found that it was not
satisfactory, as they could not get the
articles here as fast as they were or
dered. Negotiations were at once
started looking to the establishment
of plant in Ottumwa, and the above
announcement is the result.
Mr.. Nichols left for the east about
two weeks ago to cast about for ma
chinery, and he soon purchased the
Bridgeport concern. He will return
as soon as he gets the machinery all
packed, and will bring with him sever.
al skilled mechanics who will take
charge of the factory here. The bal
ance of the labor will be employed in
Ottumwa. Work will be started at
once preparing the room where the
| factory is to be located, and get it pre-.
pared for the machinery
/ The article manufactured is a new
framing square, or more especially an
improvement over other squares. The
board measure having been replaced
by simple rule for framing; by look
ing under the figure the roof raises tC
the foot is given. 1t gives the length
and figures on the cuts for all the roof
and also cuts for cornices.

child in the United States will send

is the right to take up the land under

color, also his eyes, and he suffered

Jaundice. He was treated by the best
doctors, but without benefit. Then he
was advised to try Electric Bitters,

MAJOR LAcEsvs BIRD LAW.
In Operation Year With Noticeable
Results In Game Protection.

Results in Game Protection.
Washington, March S.-Representa-
tive Lacey's bill for the protection of
game has been in operation about
a year. and the reportss received by
him indicate that it has Seen very eff
fective in the preservation of bird and
animal life. 81 have not had any Off
cial reports on the operation of the
law, but I have had many letters from
men who worked with me to have the
law enacted. In the northwest the
indiscriminate killing of deer AND 9TH
er game has been checked. Quail
shooting in the closed season has
been checked and other game birds
have been protected, and now have I'm
opportunity to multiply and preserve
their species, something which was
very doubtful under the old condi-
ton
"The most pronounced effect of the
law, however, has been to prevent the
wanton slaughter of sea birds along
the coast for their plummage. In one
case the authorities refused to allow
the landing of a consignment of 10000
bird carcasses whose wings were to
be used as hat trimmings. This was
when the law was first enforced.
Since that time the attempts to bring
these birds into the United States
have practically ceased, and, many of
the men engaged in their killing have
gone out of business. These birds are
the natural scavengers of the harbors
along our coasts and can now per-
form their natural functions without
molestation from the pot-hunters.
Taking it altogether, the law has been
rigidly enforced and it has accom-
plished the object which was sought
by it's projectors-the protection OF
wild animals and birds"
