Physicians and chem ists condemn the use of ammonia inbaking.powders as a crime. " Its constant use no matter how small the quantity tlerangcs the stomach, neutralizing the gastric juice and destroying the complexion. It is the small quantities taken even- meal that do the mischief. It is gratifying to hnow there are pure baking powders to be had on the market and at no greater cost to the concumcr than some of these so-called ''absolutely pure" ammonia powders.

An International Railroad to - South America. A COMPLIMENT TO BLAINE. ll he Opinion of the London Tlmei on the Frojeot of a Railroad to the South American Repnblioj. Losoos, Aug. 25. The Times to-day publishes a three-column article upon the projected inter continental railway which, when completed, will link the South and Central American republics with each other and with the United States. In discussing these plans, the Times expresses the opinion that "J nines (i. Blaine, United States secretary of state, is a man ol grand ideas, and if, as it seems iiite passible, he is the next pres ident, there will be some chance of realizing this scheme." Continuing, the Times says: "The project aims to join the markets of North and South America, but there is no place for a general commercial system, even in the relations between the sev eral republics. The railroad, when completed, would have to compete with the great waterways on the other side of the continent. From Huenos Ayres to New York, and Irom Valparaiso to .San Francisco, the existing means of travel are simpler and cheaper than they could even be made on a railroad. It is obvious the scheme equally has political as well as commercial ends in view to join the North and South American republics. Kven though the first outward t-igii of the union will be nothing, the iron rail with a supreme cen ter of republican government at Washington is a conception of captivating magnitude." The Times also asserts that re cent proposals on the part of the United States, looking to the es tablishment of reciprocity with various republics of the continent, have been generally reserved by the countries to which the ove: tures were made as specimens of absolutely cynical Anglo-Saxon selfishness and that the proposals (created profound distrust in Anier- ican bargains. t Touchimr uoon the question as to where capital is to be found for the enormous enterprise, the Times expresses the opinion that it cannot be found in the needy Southern republics, and that it must be raieed in the United States. MIT.bKltKI) KV NATIVES. Sail rate of a Crew or Whalere fin the North. Chicago, Aug. 25. A Washing ton special says : "A catastrophy in r..inrie.l bv 1 lin treagurv denart- ment from the Arctic regions. The crews of two small steam whalers wintsiing near the mouth of the Mackenzie river, about 500 miles east of Foint aJJarrow, have been massacred by tne natives oi that region. The steamers were lh ornnertv of t.ho Pacific Whal ing Company, and carried sixty men as crews. liiey were en armed, equipped and provision, d Heretofore the natives had been very friendly to whites. Many ol them are well armed, having been supplied with rifles by trading ves ali u liieh hiivn exchanged KUUS and'whisky for furs. While it is a new thmit lor whalers t winter in the Arctic as far east as these two steamers have, w hite men have spent winters on shore with the natives and have lived with a good degree of comfort. Whaling crews encamped on land would not be under any such strict discipline as might be enforced on shipboard, and if their intercourse with the natives was ottensive they proba bly have been overpowered by superior numbers. FKANCK AND 1CUSSIA. To Ul Each Other la Caee of Trouble in China, London, Aug. 25. The Times' Paris correspondent sends the fol lowing story under reserve : "Ad miral Gervais took the proposed agreement to Cronstadt binding France and Russia mutually to assist each other in the event of the Chinese rising against foreign ers. Each nation further agrees not to obstruct each other'B mis sionaries. Admiral Gervais brought the agreement back in a modi tied form. It is presumed that Foreign Minister Kibot desired to find a subject for agreement which would not give umbrage to the powers." WAR KUMOK9 THICKEN. Evident? I'reparatle far the Ex pected Conflict. London, Aug. 25. The report 41. at fc'ratieA and Russia had virtu- allv no-reed that in the event of a victory over Germany they would have scnieswig reannexeu to Den mark has caused considerable com monr. in Berlin, where the war feeling has been mounting high lor some uays past. in is rumor, however, has called to public at tention other rumors of a scare notnra reiri rt i tlir thft tririln nlli- - o ---- i - ance. It was stated recently on i i . i : . : . i . . n.gu auuioriiy ai ivuiia tout, one of the written agreements of the triple alliance was, in the event of success in a continental way, to disable Russia forever by divest ing the empire of Poland, Finland and the Baltic provinces, and com pelling the czar to abandon St. Petersburg for Moscow, France at the same time to be compelled to give up Nice and Corsica t) Italy. These arrangements are under stood to be locally provisional, but the fatt that they are talked of shows the deliberate way in which the European nations are prepar ing for the gigantic struggle. SHOWERS OF STONES. They rail Like Rain. Startling the People at a Uouatala. IIinton, W. Va., Aug. 25. People living on New River moun tain, in this county, are much wrought up by the phenomena which has been witnessed there at intervals for several months, but which has only recently assumed startling proportions. Many re ports were circulated of the mys terious rain of tiny stjnes which apparently came out of the air. At first these attracted little no tice, but, as time passed, the reports became so general s to attract wide notice, in response to inquiries from a distance, a cor respondent visited the mountain last week to investigate the stories. He found that while the common reports are considerably exaggerated, there is a basis of truth lor it, and the facts which are susceptible of proof are mys terious and interesting. THEY FAVOR GROVER MARYLAND DEMOCRATS WILL VOTE rOR CLEVELAND. Kx-GoTernor Bowie, of That State, Bxpreeaee Hie Vlewa aa to Pret IdenUal Canaldatea. Baltimore, Md., Aug. 25. Ex Governor Bowie, who has been at Saratoga, where Senator Gorman now is, is authority for the state ment that Gorman tol l a promin ent Connecticut politician who spoke to him about the presidency, that Maryland's vote in the next national convention would be cast for Cleveland, as his people recog nized the fact that Cleveland is the popular choice of the country and would support him in the con vention as long as he had a ch-ince of running. A BLACK. DKSI'KKADO, lie Entered a Church and Took I'p a Collection, Jacksonville, Fla., Aug. 25. Harmon Murray, the negro des perado and murderer, is still main taining a reign of terror in the southwestern portion of the state, lie stepped into a colored church near Melrose yesterday, and, hold ing up the congregation, compelled the deacons and minister to take up a collection for him, which they did. He left after teUing them they were doing good by helping him. He has threatened to stop trains on some of the rail roads, and armed men are patrol ing the track in many places. .1 array has committed many other acta of lawlessness in the past week. The citizens of Gainsville have ottered large re wards, and the county commis sioners have been asked to aid in the work of arres'ing the despera do. Two hundred men are search ing the swamps for him, but as the murderer knows all the by paths he is able to escape his pur suers, but appears in unexpected places, causing the wildest excite ment. FLOODS IN ENGLAND. Crops Washed Away and Many Cattle Drowned. London, Aug. 25. Heavy rains in Morelanu county have caused the streams to overflow, flooding the surrounding country.

Improvement! in the State Beform School Buildlngi-A Fortlaad Printer Shoots Himself. Salem, Aug, 25. John Curtis, aged 50, is the latest arrival at the insane asylum. He is from Yam hill county, and thinks people seek his life. Curtis was in the rebel lion and a prisoner at Auderson Ville for a long time, the suffering from which deranged his mind. In the vicinity of Salem eeveral hop growers have commenced pick ing, and by the first of next week hop picking will be in full blast. In spite of lice there will be the average crop. One grower flooded the lice all olf the vines with water, and then buried them. This was done seyeral weeks ago and there are scarcely any lice to be found on his vines. Another had Chinamen to pull all the leaves off the vines eai ly in the season. He did this on thirty acres and they are now- ready for picking. He has but a few lice. XI is tne cleanest yard in Ihe country. Where the lice are, in picking, growers find con siderable mould. Wheat has advanced a couple of cents, being quoted now at 85 cents. The market is firm and advancing. The Selorm school board this afternoon opened the bids for the building of two farm houses on the Reform Bchool land. The build ings will cost about $3000 each. The contracts are not yet let. A DESPERADO. Charged With Train Robbery aad Possibly Murder. Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 25. Two detectives here arrested William McDermott, aged 20 years, yestei day.

Seventy Head of Cattle Lost An Explosion. London, Aug. 25. The steamer 'Loch Lomond from Montreal, which arrived at Dundee, experi enced severe hurricanes during her voyage. The weather encoun tered was eo severe that the men having charge of cattle on board were unable to approach them for two days. Seventy-seven head of cattle were lost, and scarcely one head escaped injury. There was a sickening scene as the vessel was discharging her cargo, a lumber of butchers Ijeing busily engaged for Eeveral hours killing cattle, both aboard the Steamer and in the quay.

The government intends to have more cruisers and they will be built in Germany. Additional advices concerning the rioters are to the effect that a disturbance broke out in Yenpion Kwangtung, J uly is, caused by the complaint of a native woman that her eon bad been stolen by mis sionaries.

A BIQ UPRISING TUBKATgNED. According to the City of Rio da Janeiro, which arrived from Hong Kong last evening, tne spirit of discontent is still rampant in China. While very few actual outrages have occurred since the arrival of the last China steamer, the people in Shanghai expect an outbreak daily. "The Chinese are at war among themselves," said an otlicer of the Rio, "but that will not make the slightest differ ence when the uprising takes place. They all hate Europeans and will combine to drive them out of the country. It is a great pity the United States has not a Meet over there to protect Ameri can interests. All other nations are well represented.while we have only the Palos." When told that the Charleston, Alert, Mohican and Monacacy had been ordered to Shanghai, he said : "I'm glad to hear it.
