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. $18.60 to New Haven, Conn., and Return plus $1.00 from Chicago via the Nickel Plate Road, June 2d, 3d, 4th and 5th also via New York City at excursion rates.

P. VAN WERDEN 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. School Report.
