OUR SPECIAL POLICE.

Ed. Tiwbuxe: I think a word shouldbo said for our city marshals. Nevor in

tho history of North Platto has a bigcrowd been handled with so little fric-

tion as during tho reunion last week.

There was no blow or bluster, but aquiet, careful, and I judge, systematiccaro for tho welfare and safety of thecitizens and guests. No robbery, no

fighting, and but very little drunkonness.when tho size of the crowd is considered.Something so unusual that I thinkMessrs. Grace and McEvoy deservo thothanks of the citizens of North Platte.

SUICIDE IiV AMMONIA.

In? TiTi-iM- y Ones ot I'reventlt'4 Uo.

No poison brings death with moro

madening agony than ammonia, but thatfact does not seem to discourago thosuicide. Tho man Harrowiiz, who dolibrately swallowed si fatal dose ot tho drug

in Now York recently, is only ono of thomany who have gone tho ammonia route

to death in spito of tho excruciating

pain. Dr. Blyth has recorded thirtycsises of ammonia poisoning in tho smallLondon district- - of which lie is healthoilicor; Professor Mitchell mentionstwenty-tw- o cases, and four havo occuredduring tho chert timo Dr. Jenkins hasbeen connected with the coroner's office

in Now York.Casc3 of slow poisoning from ammonia

aro of constant occurence among men

who work in its manufacture, or even in

decomposing substances which givo itoif in considersiblc quantities. Ammoniaslowly and from day to day taken intotho system, causes tho complexion to

looso its freshness, and tho skin of men

who get heavily impregnated with it hasa disagreeable blotched and discoloredappearance.

Taken into tho stomach from day to

day in even tho small quantities used toadulterate food, such as baking powder,it not only injures the complexion butaf!ac'th'e"linirig'of the stomach, ami is

the eonrco of much general ill health.The recent rapid increase in the hse of

ammonia for various purposes, and theconsequent increase in its manufacture,havo made it ono of the most easilyobtained poisons and, silthough even-bod- y

is familiar with it in somo form,

thorc is a surprising amount of ignorancoof its dangerous qualities. Its use as an

adulterant in any food preparation is

simply a crime, and as a crime should bo

punished.

Odd Blethnds of as EYaBgellst.The death of Miller Willis, the Georgia

evangelist, revives many interestingstories concerning his life and methods.He was certainly the queerest characteithat ever preached the Gospel at a camjmeeting, at which places he was gen-

erally found. His pure and holy lifehowever, was a model for all. But abouthis methods: He frequently stoppedBtrangers in the streets, and plantinghimself in front of them wonld annonncsome startling text and then disappearleaving the man or woman to preach thtsermon to his or her own liking.

For instance, he on one occasiotstopped a stranger and shouted in hisears, "This night thy soul shall be required of theel" Willis vanished. Buta year afterward he met the man in another city. Willis had forgotten him,but the stranger knew his man. Appreaching him he extended his hand andsaid: "That text you shouted out sc

strangely to me on the streets of Mil-ledgevil-

set me to thinking. It wa.tho means of my conversion."

On another occasion, a dark, rainjnight in winter, he passed a crowdedhotel in tho city of Charleston. Metwere lounging and smoking in the lobby.Willis opened the door, but the little6gure in dripping garments attracted ntattention. Suddenly, after rapping loudon tho floor with his heavy stick, evereye was turned toward him, when Williisaid, "There won't be a man in thuhouse alive in fifty yeara from tonight!'And he slammed the door and went oulinto the night.

Some time afterward he was appreached by a young man on a streetcar, who introduced himself by saying."I have long desired to meet u and tcthank you for saying what you did inthe hotel lobby one winter's night. Yomwords havo been ringing in my ears evex

since, and 1 am now a (JnnsnanAtlanta Constitution.

The Key of Death.About the year 1600 a stranger named

Tebaldo established himself as a mer-chant in Venice. Soon becoming infatu-ated with the daughter of one of thtmost ancient and wealthy families heasked her hand and was rejected, thtyoung lady being already affianced.Half crazed and thoroughly enraged btplanned revenge. Being an excellentmechanic ho soon evolved a most formtdable looking key. The handle of thuunique weapon could be easily turned.Being turned it disclosed a spring with amissile in the shape of a needle of ex-quisite fineness. With this weapon Tebaldo waited at the church door untilthe maiden he loved passed in on thtmorning of her marriage. When thebridegroom appeared tho desperate lover,unperceived, sent the slender poisonedneedle into his rival's breast, and withinan honr he was dead of a "strange, baffling disease."

Again Tebaldo demanded the hand ofthe maiden, bnt was refused. Within afew days both her parents had died ina very mysterious manner. Suspicionbeing excited, examination was made.and the small steel instruments foundin the flesh in both cases. One day themaiden allowed Tebaldo an audience,but told him that she would never behis bride. Within an hour she was acorpse. Tebaldo was suspected, tne iceydiscovered and the culprit hanged. Thecelebrated "key of death" is still shows' ,

A Convenient Ring.The following incident happened at

Orovillo. Cal.: It was a handsome soli-

taire, and she evidently desired the jew--"eler to know that it was her engagement'

"I would like to have this ring cat;4down to suit my finger," said the hand-some heart smasher, as she flourishedtho brilliant ring before the eyes of thejeweler.

Tho jeweler took the ring and smiledhe had seen it before."1 can fix that in a minute," replied

he. Screwing a magnifying glass in hisfeye, and taking .a small sharp pointedinstrument in his hand, he touched aminute button on the inside of tho ringand made it tho exact sizer saying, as hiplaced it on her finger. "You see theserings aro made in this manner for thereason that they are worn by so manydifferent people: it is a great conven-ience."

The young lady sailed out of the storeburning with indignation, and the rea-son she did not fly was because she dida'thave the wings. What did she think?You know, and it is only necessary tostate that she did not wear the ring.Another girl has it now, bnt this timetho jeweler was not permitted to touchthe button tho young man did it him-self.

A De;if Mute Cow.Alexander Skerkoff, the Russian vet-

erinary surgeon, reports the case of adeaf mute cow. She is 12 years old, ofAlgava breed, belongs to a Russian no-bleman, and has never showed signs ofhearing or been known to bellow. See-ing that other cows bellow, she tries toimitate them, stretching out her headaud opening her mouth, not, however,producing the least semblance to asound. Two of her offspring have beencuriously malformed. One had its taildirectly between the eyes; it lived but aweek. The other is a full grown cow of5 years, with her udder in her flank,about eight inches from her backbone.London Tit-Bit- s.

Indian Names.A station not very far from Pitts-

burg, on the Baltimore and Ohio rail-road, has the good old English name ofSoho. In announcing it there is no op-portunity for the brakenien to disguisethe word, as he is too apt to do with thenames of other places.

As a train neared the town not longago the word was distinctly shouted,and a passenger was heard to say to theman sharing his seat:

"How many towns in this part of thecountry have Indian names? Just thinkof it Soho, Monongahela and Du-ques- ne,

all near together. Youth's

They are soperfectly fitted together with a trans-parent cement that the joints aro invis-ible and no fluid can penetrate.
