tice law in the Hastings Court here last
week. This attorney made good impress
sian on his arrival here from CharlOttes-
Vile; be went to the Vireinia Hotel and
instead of starting civil rights circus
quietly informed the proprietor that he
knew the customs in Virginia. that he We 5
not DESTROYS to make himself conspicuous.
and that separate recommendations, If
good, would be perfectly satisfactory. The
accommodations provided for him were
equal to the good impression he had made,
After all it is very likely that if the color
ed man went less on his rights" and more
on his merits he would not find it so hard
| road to travel.

The Western Union Crops out in New
Place.

Not many months ago the citizens OF
Staunton, through their City Council,
granted entrance to the Bell Telephone
Company, and the citizens themselves
subscribed to enough phones to justify
the company in entering the city. All Of
this action was in great part due to the
energy of w. W. Gibbs the manager Of
the Western Union office here, and the
kindly feeling felt for him; the Bell 60.
had previously tried to introduce their
phones here through their own agents aud
failed. 1t was never limited to the people
or corporation of stanton that the Bell
Telephone Co. was 4 part of that great
monopoly the W Western Union. This week
Mr.. Gibbs was dismissed from the post of
manager of the Bell Telephone Co., in
Staunton, because he lad, as manager of
the telegraph Office Of another corporation
struck for higher wages. L. Is rapidly
penetrating the brains of the people of the
United StateB that it is about time for the
citisens to strike, and try what they can do
as an organized body against monopolies.

Fora Burns, Murderer.

LINCOLN, Ills. Nov. 10.-The pre-,
liminary examination of Orrin A
Carpenter for the murder of Fora
Burns was concluded this, morning.
Immediately upon the closing of the
prosecution, Carpenter was released
to secure bonds for appearance, when
a crowd followed him home, but
without disturbance. The justice, be-
fore whom Carpenter had a hearing,
summed up the case by stating
that, while the prosecution had shown
the probable cause. the evidence had
not been such as would warrant him
in denying the accused an opportunity
to give bail to the prisoner. Bail was
placed at $4,000 for his appearance at
the next term of court, and the sure
ties offered were approved by the court.
The father of the murdered girl Gre
ated sensation by making hostile
demonstrations against the accused,
but was restrained by police.

In THE LAST DITCH.
Desperation of the Alum Baking
Powder Men.

The aggressive war waged by the
Royal Baking Powder Company
against all forms of adulteration in
baking powder seems to be having a
mortuary effect upon the alum baking
powder makers and vendors of this
locality. The Royal Company set out
upon this crusade several years ago.
1t was the first to bring to light the
use of alum for this purpose, and to
expose the infamous tricks and
schemes of the alum concerns, who
were Iendangering the health and
might be derived from their powders.
1t called them by name, denounced
them to the public authorities, and
succeeded (by the aid of the press and
an enlightened public sentiment, in
driving them, step Iby step, from the
east until they are now at bay in the
southwest and on the Pacific slope.
All forms of alum bacing powders
arenow being foisted upon the market
in this vicinity. Their use has been
universally condemned by medical
men as absolutely dangerous to hu-
man life. The presence Of alum can
not be detected except by chemical
analysis, and the purchaser is unaware
of its use until its effects have shown
themselves in a disordered system.
It is because of the continued, Wig
orous and successful pursuit of these
dangerous alum baking powders that
their proprietors and peddlers are now
endeavoring to vent their spite and
revenge their disappointment by cir
culating absurd falsehoods and sham
analyses against the Royal Baking
Powder.
1t won't work. The Royal Baking
Powder has. during the last quarter
of a century, earned a reputation
throughout the world which no such
and tricky adventures
can pull down or destroy. 1t has
stood the test of a long, actual practi-
cal use, and has been Endorsed by the
government chemist, Prof. Mott, and
by all the most eminent chemists of
The country, as in all respects abso-
Iutely pure and wholesome, and of
the very highest leavening power. 1t
IS not possible for the new experiment
jal, and suspicious baking powders,
40 matter with what Establishments
)r inducements they are accompanied,
20 supplant it in the public favor.

and has enjoyed the confidence of
the entire city. He held the Office of
city physician during the years 1874
lo-d6, and gave the greatest satifac-
ton in the Office. He has also en-
Joyed quite an extensive practice for
number of years and at the time of
his death had clientage that entitled
him to rank among the foremost of
his profession IN the city. His death
was the result of an abcess of the liver,
from which he was a great sufferer for
several weeks. Everything that
medical skill could do for him was
done, but the canker was slowly sap
ping the cords of life and he has gone
the road that all must go.
His funeral was large and imposing.
He had been member of the masonic
order for a number of years and a
bright ornament in the broth erhood
and his burial occurred with the
beautiful and imposing ceremonies of
that Institution. Austin Lodge,
No. II, escorted by Sir knights
of Colorado Commentary No.
4, led the cortage and
at the ground the knights formed an
arch of steel oyer the remains. The
other usual and attractive, and at the
same time, highly solemn rites of a
Masonic burial followed, and the
brother was left alone.
He leaves wife and several chill
dren to mourn the loss of a faithful
husband and kind and indulgent
father, who will have the heartfelt
sympathy of all, in this, their hour of
sadness.
AT meeting of the medical profess
sion of the city of Austin, Nov. IL,
1888, the following resolutions were
adopted:
Whereas, The medical faculty Of
this city is called upon to mourn the
loss of one of its honored members,
Dr.. w. Stalnaker, who has ever been
faithful, useful and successful in his
profession.
Resolved, That by this affective
worthy brother and the community of
a generous and esteemed citizen.
Resolved, That we tender to his
family our sincere sympathy, respect
fully claiming the privilege of ming
ling our sorrow with theirs in this |
sore bereavement.
Resolved, That copy of these re-
solutions be communicate d to the wife |
Of our deceased brother and that a
copy also be presented to the DAILY
