What the New Light Is Like.

Workmen were busily engaged in laying the wires for the electric lights in this city yesterday. The following from the Iowa State Register, Des Moines, Ia, of Aug. 8, 1888, gives good idea of what the light is: The new Electric Light company in Des Moines has produced genuine sensation by the great excellence of it's light, and by the steadiness and softness of the blaze. Every one who is acquainted with electric lighting, and who has seen the lights of this new con- pany for the past two or three nights, pro- nouncs it the best, steadiest, most illami- rating and pleasant electric light they have ever seen. It is the Thonson-Houston patent, which is now fast superseding all other lights in New York and New England. It is soft and pleasant to the sight, burns without flicker and with none1 of the unpleasant hissing sound so inseparable from other lights. All who have seen these new lights are delighted with them, and orders are being made for them by business men beyond the present capacity of the company to furnish. But the capacity will be rapidly increased On Monday night the city council of Greenwood Park-the town at the city limits, including the State fair grounds-passed resolution to have the streets uf that place illuminated with this Bowe if his wires could carry the current of electricity this far. He said: ''Yes, with this dynamo and lamp, we can carry the current to Adel and light that town" In the region of Boston they are carrying the light further than that

Facts are Stubborn Things.

Is there anything in any of the numerous advertisements of the Royal Baking Powder to show that the Royal does not use ann monia and tartaric acid as cheap substitutes for cream of tartar? Or is there any charge or the slightest insinuation in those adver- tisements that Cleveland's Superior Baking Powder contains anything but the purest soda, with a small portion of flour as pre- servative?
 Ammonia and tartaric acid produce cheap leavening gas, which is not to be compared, in the practical test of baking, with the more desirable carbonic acid gas generated by the exclusive use of the expensive cream of tar tar.
 Use CIeveland's Superior Baking Powder. and judge for yourself of its superiority.
