EX-STATE AUDITOR DIES.
Hon. John Lee Brown Falls Victim
to Pneumonia.
Chariton, la., May 20.—Hon. John Lee
Brown, auditor of state from 1.883 to
1885, died at his home in Cedar town
ship, Thursday. He had been ill only
four days with pneumonia. Mr. Brown
was sixty-eight years old and leaves a
wife and nine children. He was for
twelve years editor of the Chariton
Herald!
John Lee Brown was auditor of state
when the late Buren R. Sherman was
governor. Friction arose between Mr.
Brown and the governor. Friends of
both men conceded that there was
something personal in it. After many
disagreements and after Brown's re
fusal to report certain fees as ordered
to do by the governor, the latter issued
an order removing Brown from office,
March 19, 1885. Brown refused to va
cate and the old capitol building
became the scene of military action.
Governor Sherman called out the nation
al guard and filled the old state house
with soldiers. Citizens were admitted
on military passes. In fact the old
state house was in a state of siege.
Both the governor and the auditor were
acting on the advice of their attorneys
and each claimed to be within his
rights. In every conceivable form the
matter was in the courts.
The legislature gave recognition to
the difficulty and articles of impeach
ment were preferred by the house
against Brown. Impeachment man
agers were appointed and the trial was
before the state senate, lasting for a
number of weeks, resulting in the ac
quittal of Brown on every count. Be
fore the impeachment, however, Brown
had been removed from office and
Jonathan W. Cattell was acting auditor
of state.
After all the trials and difficulties
Brown was restored to the office, and
served his time out. He did not aspire
to a third term. In defending his
opinions as to what he thought was
right, Brown was courageous and
stubborn. The Brown-Sherman em
brolio excited the state for a number
of years, and had much to do with
politics. There was much sympathy
for Brown during all his troubles be
cause he had lost an arm in defense of
his country. No man in the state ever
believed that Brown knowingly or in
tentionally did what was wrong. At
the time Brown was auditor J. A. T.
Hull was_secretary and Edwin H. Con
ger treasurer of state.
Tho trial of Brown was a notable one.
Among the attorneys or managers on
the part of the house in the prosecution
were Judge Weaver, now of the supreme
court, then a member of the houde from
Hardin county the late John H. Keat
ley, a member of the house from Potta
wattamie county Hon. Robert G.
Cousins, present member of congress,
and L. A. Riley, of Louisa county.
Judge Weaver practically conducted
the prosecution. The attorneys for the
defense were Judge Huston, of Burling
ton Hon. Fred W. Lehman, now of St.
Louis, and Hon. C. C. Nourse. It was
a great legal battle. It was the first
impeachment trial in the history of the
state and impeachment cases in all
history from Warren Hastings down
were quoted and requoted in the de
bates, all of which were fully reported
and printed in two large voiumes.
Mr. Brown is the second former state
auditor to pass away this week, Hon.
James A. Lyons, who succeeded Mr.
Brown as auditor of Iowa, having died
at his home in Colorado earlier in the
week.

NO ONE WOULD EAT ALUM.
Food that Contains Alum or an
Alum Residue Is Unhealthful.
Here is some interesting evidence up
on the alum baking powder subject:
Prof. A. S. Mitchell, of Milwaukee,
late chemist to the Wisconsin Dairy
and Food Commission, in testifying be
fore the Congressional Committee,
which was collecting information to aid
in the matter of pure food legislation,
said that there was no question but
the tendency of the chemical impuri
ties which would remain in food made
with alum baking powders would be
deleterious. As to the claim made by
the manufacturers that alum powders
left no alum in the food, he said he had
failed to find any such powders which,
in the ordinary process of cooking,
would not leave some soluble alum in
the food. Doctor Schweitzer, the ac
complished professor of chemistry at
the University of Missouri, after a
series of experiments with bread raided
with alum baking powder, reported:
"Careful analysis of the bread thus pre
pared shows a portion of the alum from
the baking powders remaining in the
bread as such and unaltered."
The fact that alum if taken with food
into the stomach would be injurious is
not questioned or disputed by any one.
As scientific evidence would seem to
prove that when food is raised with
alum baking powder some part of the
alum remains in the food, the prudent
course for the housewife is apparent.
IMMENSE CROWDS.
White City Holds Throngs of Peo
ple Its Opening Week.
In the face of the most unpropitious
weather that ever attended the opening
of a summer park. White City demon
strated that it has a place in the affec
tions of the people that even deterrent
weather cannot change.
Since the opening, which was on the
coldest day of the past two months
and on which occasion the park was
hardly large enough to hold the people,
the ticket sellers being literally
swamped, the daily attendance has
been greater than any like number of
consecutive days of last year even in
the most torrid part of the summer.
The park is replete with new attrac
tions this year and a renewed public
interest is created. All kinds of novel
amusements that are new to Chicago
are installed this year. Jewell's Mani
kins, anew English marionette show, is
one of the clever things that is attract
ing a great deal of attention Big Otto
and his trained wild animals furnish the
circus element that last year was
lacking in White City. The Chicago
Fire and Midget City are two shows
that are among the premier attractions
of the place, and altogether with all its
new features White City threatens to
become a fixed habit with amusement
seekers both in Chicago and for all
towns within reaching distance.
NO EXCUSE FOR CATARRAH
Worst Cases Quickly Cured by
Breathing Hyomel. Guaranteed
by L. P. Van Werden.
There is really not the slightest ex
cuse for anyone having catarrh, now
that Hyomei is so widely known and
so easily obtained. The worst cases of
catarrh are quickly cured, simply by
breathing the remedy through the
pocket inhaler that comes with every
outfit.
The complete outfit, consisting of a
neat pocket inhaler, a medicine drop
per, and a bottle of Hyomei oosts only
one dollar, while extra bottles can be
obtained for 50 cents, making Hyomei
the most economical, as well as the
most reliable method for curing
catarrh.
L. P. Van Werden positively guaran
tees a cure when Hyomei is used in
accordance with directions, or he will
refund the purchase price.
