unbroken experience in the treatment

thirty years. He is extraordinary in his

nearly a score of qualified physicians.

the upright steam hammer.
Since then the falling weight of this
design of tool has gradually been in

to 100 and even 125 tons, but excepting
the smaller sizes up to % tons it has
since 1890 been superseded by the n.y.
draulic press, which by it's slow motion
produces more thorough working Of
the metal. Presses have grown until
the capacity Of $4,000 tons was reach

accompaniment of 200 ton electric
cranes for handling the work UNDER

The Effects of Ammonia.

The effects of ammonia upon the
complexion arc directly the opposite to
that OF arsenic. The first symptom of
ammonia poisoning which appears
among those who work in ammonia
factories is a Hscoloration of the skin
OF the nose and the forehead. This
gradually extends over the face until
the complexion has stained, blotched
and unsisEtly appearance. With pco-
pie who take ammonia into their sys-
tens in smaller doses. as with their
water or food, these striking symptoms
do not appear so soon. The only effect
of the poison that is visible for a time
Is a general EMBELLISHMENTS and sal

County Appropriat,ons.

The west side and the east side are
terms that should not be often used in
talking of county affairs but they are
of late much used to put or paper the
jealousy that exists. For instance
when an east side paper accuses the
county board of stealing away the
county funds for the benefit of "few
individuals" on the west side it is
plain that some people think this
county is necessarily divided into two
opposing camps watching the county
board with a jealous eye.
The talk of the Woodb1ne Twiner.
Logan Observer and others on that
side of the county for the last few
weeks looks much like boy play.
They accuse the county board who
have met and studied public questions
and the laws governing the same for
years Ut misappropriating the public
funds to private interests. This is the
glst OF the whole talk and it is as false
as it is foolish. After years and years
OF agitation pro and con on the ditch
ing and dyking needed along the
streams and loWlands of tile county
Tor the betterment of the holdings of
all the tax paying people, the board
finally arrived at the point of decision
and ordered some county work in the
shape of long talked of tlitching and
dyking to control the ordinary surface
water of several townships. These
townships include perhaps one-third
of the most fertile soil OF the county,
and the talk of private interests i'm
connection with the proposed work on
these large territories is where the boy
play comes in. 1t is public work; as
much so as the building of court
house or large bridge 1t is work in
which the whole county should feel
interested because through future
taxation every dollar of betterments
will inuIe to the good of all.
The board has also been spending a |
portion of public funds to fix an i'm
portant road leading to this town
People here have talked and waited
for years for this needed relief, and
now that it has come we don't like to
hear our self-appolnted guardians over
in the hills talking SO much about
private interests" etc. Our people
pay for and are justly entitled to
share of public benefits in the county.
The only mistake we have to accuse
our board of at this time is the re-
of portion of paid ditch tax.
We think the board should work early
and late for public improvements and
put every dollar into them it can find
1t there is any more odds and ends
Of public funds left or accumulated
about the court house we hope the
board will hunt them out and put
hem into the public service at once.
The history of this county for thirty
years shows that we had the best luck
With the funds when we kept them
we'll used up.
