GREAT CHEMIST, ,

Ths certify that have made careful analysis OF DR.
Prices Cream Baking Powder and also that of the Royal Bak
ing Powder
Il find that Dr. Prices Powder is made of pure materials
and mixed the best chemical proportions for the object to be
attained"
"It contains Carbonate of Ammonia, but Onehaf as
much starch the Royal Baking Powder evolves cabonc
acid gas both by analysis and by practical test in the prepa
ration and baking of biscuits makes lighter better fayored
and in my opinion, more wholesome article of food"
81 regard the Price Baking Powder superior to the Roy
al Baking Powder for the following reasons
L. 1t contains Ammonia substance which is not ad
injurious
g. 1t contains less starch and therefore, weight for weight
contains of the active ingredients and article
g. 1t evolves carbonc acid gas and therefor e
cent shown by analysis and by experiment with weighed
quality of biscuit dough
f. The ingredients mixed in better proportions that
there less free alkaline carbonate remaining in the dough
1t gives lighter and better favored dough owing the
facts stated i'll Nos and above"

THE ARM Y.
CIaIms-Bicycies Exempted from
Duty.

Seven claims of army officers fcr longevity
of pay were decided by the court Of claims
today, all of which involved the question as
TO the authority of the executive to reinstxte
an officer after resignation or dismissal. The
court decided thvt the executive had not za-
thority to reinstate officer after his successor
was nominated and confirmed. The decision is
one of great importance to the army. as by it
a number of officers thus restored have been
drawing pay while not legally in the service.
The attorney general has given an opinion
to the secretary of the treasury that under

Deputy Sheriff Tibbetts of Belgrade made
quite seizure of liquors Saturday night at
the railroad station at North Belgrade. The
seizure comprised one two gallon Jug OF
whlskey and case of some 60 bottles of
whiskey In about three minutes after he
seized it, young man from Oakland arrived
after the liquor, but he was too late, and we
have no doubt but there is moaning and vail
ing in Oakland on account of the loss; but
what vas the loss to one was gain to many,
Sheriff Tibbetts is ever on the alert wher
any liquors are brought into town, and there
is no place in Belgrade where a person car

this respect things are different from what
they were thirty years ago, or even ten years

which stood on the siding opposite. The
space which it should have occupied va,
filled by other cars. 1t was as if some Hercules
had lifted the car bodily from the track and
tossed it one side. One other freight car was
broken and shattered. 1t is hard to say
Who Was to Blame
at this time. There were three train. at the
point of the collision. The regular Skowhe-
gan freight up. stood on the siding awaiting
the passage of the other trains. The pas
senger train was on time and the engineer
had his orders to cross the down freight at
Farmingdale. The latter had orders to cross
at the same point. 1t shonld have stopped
just above the switch at the upper end Of the
siding and run down upon the side track to
await the passage of Philbrook's train. But
instead it continued straight on and the col
lision occurred. C. NJ. Benjamin, conductor of
the freight, says that the chain of the brake
apparatus of the saloon car
brake was broken and he was unable
to bring his train to a halt at the re-
quired point Upon the giving away of the
chain he rushed upon the roofs of the near
est cars and had time to set three brakes. Had
tbs saloon brake held there would have been
no trouble. Passengers, baggage and the
mails
Were Transferred
to the special train from Augusta upon its
arrival. The train departed for Bangor
At seven o'clock. A wrecking train from
Waterville appeared on the scene at s O'Clock
and the track was cleared so that the eight
O'Clock train was enabled to pass at 8 80. 1t
will require considerable time to make the
main track passable.
This is the second serious railroad accident
which has occurred in this vicinity of Au-
gusta within a year. The other was at
Browns Landing last May. peculiar
fatality seems to hang over the
stretch of track between Waterville
and Gardiner for. if we are rightly in
formed, more severe accidents have occurred
there than on any other equal length of road
under the management of the Maine Central.

4 Fahir's New Way OF Drawing a
Crowd.

A short, thick-sct man, with red
face, stood in Second street Saturday
Afternoon, and stripping off his coat
slowly rolled up the sleeves of his calico
shirt until crowd began to gather and
admire his muscular arms. When he
had got the sleeves up high enough to
expose the biceps he stopped and
grasped large iron dumb-bell that lay
on the ground before him. The crowd
waxed larger and pressed around him.
Without saving q word he lifted the bell
and showed it aloft eight consecutive
times, and then put it down. Now"
said he, ''if any of You think 'phwt,
presto. change viii make it lighter or
heftier, Jest try it." A ship-broker
picked it up cautiously, and getting it
to his waist dropped it to the imminent
peril of a number of toes in the vicinity.
A laugh went round, and somebody
said, Here you air. This little ottiekle
only one dime" A young fellow in a
fur cap then seized the iron and sue
ceeded in letting it 60 to his shoulder,
but on some one remarking that be
would strain himself he put it down.
