POISONOUS BAKING POWDER. - Professor
Mott, in the Scientific American of February
7. discloses the fact that most of the Baking
powders sold in America contain poisonous
compounds. The Professor, by way of exper-
iment, fed dogs with biscuit containing various
brands of baking powder, and while some of
the animals were reduced to state of abso-
lutte physical prostration, others died. The
principle poisonous ingredient of these pow
ders is alum, drug, which if taken steadily,
is highly injurious to the human system. In
New Yolk it is proposed to prohibit the war
fracture of such powders by Legislative ell
actment. Every State in the Union should
take the matter in hand and pass laws against
the manufacture of any adulterated artice~bf
food consumption.

REPUBLICAN STATE CENTRAL COM
MITTEE.

The work of the Central Committee as per
formed in Virginia City yesterday speaks well
for the sagacity of that body, and their action
will be endorsed by the rank and file of the
party throughout the State. 1t had been
whispered about for some weeks prior to the
meeting of the Committee that the influence
of Bill Sharon would show itself, and that the
Committee would appoint delegates according
to his dictates and ignore the plain will OF the
people. The APPEAL is glad to state that
these aspersions cast upon the integrity OF the
BODY proved to be without the slightest
foundation, and in deciding upon con-
vention to be composed of men elect
ed at county primaries the full wishes
If the people have been considered. 1t Is
now certain that however the Nevada dele
gates may be pledged at the Convention they
will represent the majority, and the Republican
party of Nevada will go into the Presidential
campaign untrammelled by any action which
could possibly be productive of discomfort

SPEAKING TO THE PoINT-John hackay Is
well liked by interviewers. When asked
plain question he gives plain answer. The
interviewer finds out exactly what he wants
and retres in two minutes. When asked by
a Chronicle reporter if the Bonanza firm had
bought the Sutro tunnel, he replied. " No
We don't want to have anything to do with
Sutro or his tunnel. You can deny the re-
port positively" Col. James Fair under the
same circumstances would have said; - really
wouldn't like to have this matter agitated Just
now. l wouldn't like to say without consult
ing my partners. Sometime early in May we
will know something more definite. L would
not like to have you say we had bought 1t and
then again, We may probably not ever, you
know. How are things with you, my SOM!

THERE is just at present discussion raging
in the California Pioneer Society over the
proper disposition of the late Emperor Nor
tons wearing apparel. 1t is proposed to pre-
serve the clothes as historic relic. In our
opinion if the old shirt which the writer gave
the late Norton in the Fall of SO is to be
preserved as relic, the rooms of the Pioneer
Society constitute about the only place where
such reminder of the past should be toera,
ted. The shirt, if preserved at all, should be
kept in alcohol.

A PROMISING DISTRICT - The Columbus
District is at present looking up and bids fair
to be as important in mining locality as b.
die. The Esmeralda Herald says:
If the Columbus mines are managed upon
their own merits, as they have been since the
revival began, it is only a question of short
time when the locality will take precedence in
outside speculation. At the close of the week
we learn that the large claim of the Mt. Po
tosi Company, Comprising nearly 5000 feet
Of rich mineral ledges) has been divided into
two mines One of these will be known as the
NJ. Potosi, occupying 5000 feet of the Mt.
Potosi lead, lying between the Northern Belle
and the Mt. Diablo mines, The other claim,
comprising the first easterly extension of the
Northern Belle, the Noble mins and the Gre
ole lodge, in all about 1000 feet, will probably
be called the Holmes mine, in honor of A. j.
Holmes, a pioneer in the district and the
largest owner in the Mt. Potosi group of
mines. We have given this space to a review
of the Columbus District stocks because they
are entitled thereto by the prominence they
attained IN the market last week.

INTELLECT IN BkUTEs.-One evening soon
after nv arrival in Eastern Asam, and while
the five elephants were, as usual, being fed
opposite the Bungalow, [ observed young
one lately caught, step up to bamboo stake
fence and quietly pull one of the stakes up.
Placing it under foot, it broke piece off with
the trunk, and lifting it to its mouth, threw
it away. 1t repeated this twice or thrice, and
then drew another stake and began again
Seeing that the bamboo was old and dry, |
asked the reason of this and was told to wait
and see what it would do. At last it seemed
to get piece that suited, and holding it in
the trunk firmly, and stepping the left fore
leg well forward, passed the piece of BAMBOO
under the armpit, so to speak, and began to
scratch with some force. My surprise reached
the climax when l saw large elephant leech
fall to the ground, quite six inches long and
as chick as one finger and which from its po-
stion could not easily be detached without
this scraper, which was deliberately made by
the elephant. l subsequently, found that it
was common occurrence, and that the leeeh
scrapers were used by the elephants every
day. -Ndture.

Au Ready for the Ne,v Bridoe,

To-day the preliminary work will be COM
menced for the new bridge of the st. Paul,
Minneapolis q Manitoba railroad company
across the Mississippi. Mr.. Peter Scully, of
St. Louis, to whom was awarded the contract
for the piers of the bridge, arrived in the city
last Saturday. He has a corps of divers, and
work will be begun on the foundation of the
piers in the bed of the river.
The Minneapolis Eastern company has formed
an amicable arrangement with the above named
company, whereby the trains of both roads
will pass over the new bridge. This arrange
ment will avoid the necessity of building two
bridges, one for each company. The new iron
bridge will support four tracks, will
be one of the most substantial and
noted structures on the river, and the rattle of
the iron horse over it will be almost as inces-
SAINT as the everlasting roar of st. Anthony di.
rectly underneath.
The bridge and proposed extension of the
two railroads will leave the present track of
the Minneapolis Eastern at q point Just below
tie suspension bridge, crossing the river dia-
gonally ION an iron bridge), striking the pier
a. the head Of the mill company's dam, thence
across Hennepin island, between Farnham &
Co.'S mill and the paper mill to Main street,
the culvert just above the grounds of the State
University. 1t also contemplates a spur track
from the point last named through the center
OF the tier of blocks lying upon the ~easterly
side of Main street, up to the Pillsbury A mill.
The plan is substantially that laid out by the
st. Paul., Minneapolis & Manitoba company,
and the trains of both companies will occupy
the extension on the east side, as well as the
bridge.

The Heirs of Gotaieb GIuyck Find a For
tune in an Old Safe Supposed to Con-
q Nothing of Any Value.
About ten weeks ago Mr.. Gottlieb Gluyck,
for ten years a leading brewer Of Minnesota,
and the proprietor of a fine new brewery a
short distance up the river, died after an ill
ness of half an hour. Mr.. Gluyck was known
to be in comfortable circumstances, but was
not supposed to be very wealthy, as he had suf-
fered several severe losses by fire. He left but
few debts and a substantial bank account.
Alderman Grethen, who is counsel for the
estate, caused an old safe that had belonged to
MIR. Gluyck to be opened last week, and some
discoveries were made which were a surprise to
the heirs and all concerned. Mr.. Gluyck's
death was SO sudden that no disposition was
made by him of his property, which accounts
partially for the startling disclosure.
A number of papers were found in the safe
OF little value TO anybody, but soon several
queer looking packages were drawn out, that
were found to consist of money, good genuine
United States currency. One by one the bills
were piled up, until the sum total was found
to be fifty thousand dollars.
Thel safe had not been opened since Mr. Gluycks
death, but no one supposed that any mon
ey was hidden within its walls. MIR. Gluyck,
during his life was a very quiet man, and it
seems the family knew nothing of the mine
that the old safe contained.

and miscellaneous speculation was irregular at
the opening and in the main lower, but sub
sequently the tendency of the general market
was upwards, Western Union Telegraph, st.
Louis & Iron Mountain and Houston & Texas
having been the only important exceptions.
At times the upward co urse of speculation was
checked by the stringency of money, but the
effect of this was only temporary, and in some
eases the highest quotations were made on the
last two days of the week. Western Union
Telegraph declined from 81 to 81. the sales, at
times, having been simply enormous. The
declaration of a quarterly dividend of only IL
per cent. and the decrease in the business of
the company were the chief reasons for the
selling movement. Houston & Texas broke at
l1L and st. Louis & Iron Mountain at z per
cent, with a partial recovery at the close. In
the general list the leading features after
Western Union Telegraph were Erie, Chicago &
Northwestern, Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul,
Union Pacific, Denver & Rio Grande, Pacific

ranging from $685. per cent. In the late
dealings there was increased activity and high
