finding that gentleman absent, they treated
his wife in a most rufianly manner, and
took from the house hat, coat, shotgun
and pistol. When they.frst came they eau
tiously felt their way by asking u the man

wished to procure work on the farm: She
told them that he was absent from home,
but would be back that evening. On being
told this their manner changed and in a
peremptory bone they ordered her to give
them something to eat, and talked to her
IN an insulting way. Having secured theif
meals, they appropriated the articles mem

A woman dressed in style that would
beat the widest efforts of the untutored
children of the forest in their love of gauay
attire and attempts to initiate the civilized
garb, created somewhat of sensation at
the Union Depot yesterday morning, when
she stepped from the south-bound passen-
ger train. The body and sleeves Of her
dress were composed of various colored silk,
and the skirt of her dress was
m ade up Of different eolored
calico She wore wash-pan hat
which was partially hidden by huge,
black, ostrich feather. Shetalked to several
parties about the'depot and II was plain to
lie seen from her conversation that She was
crazy. She inquired for the marble yard of
Middleton Brothers, and stated that she

@The Government Chemist also adds: ~
regard all alum powders as very .unwhole-
some. Phosphate and tartaric acid powders
liberate their gas too freely in baking, or
under varying climatic changes suffer de-
terioration."
1t is proper to state that all the powders
examined were from the open market, and
that the original labels were in every case
broken by Doctor Love himself. He also
informs ME that he, himself, purchased the
can of Royal Baking Powder at the store of
Park & Tilford.
Ihave only to add, that for 20 years the
Royal Baking Powder has been before the
public, and it is to-day the standard for
purity and excellence throughout the world.
Because of it's intrinsic merit. and by virtue
of honorable enterprise, the Royal Baking
Powder has taken this rank and am there

parations to be its equal. :
