Disease that has its primary cause in
the blood, must be treated at the source
of the trouble rheumatism and neuralgia
are known to be distinct species OF
blood poisoning Outward treatment for
them must therefore necessarily prove
ineffective. In Athlophoros has been
found the great specific for these diseases,
because by drawing out the poisonou
substances the system IS restored to a
healthy condition, the action of the mus
cles is invigorated and the stifened joints
are limbered.

Billy Simpson and Jim Dobson are
two Austin society young men, who
have heretofore lived by their wits
They have no money of their own, but
manage to live by borrowing and gam

rich uncle died and left him a fortune.
Shortly afterwards he met his old
friend Dobson, who asked:
what has come over you, Bill9 Be-
fore you came into possession of all that
money you were the iolliest fellow in
Austin, always in good humor, and
full of fun, but now that you are rich,
you sit around as if you had the tooth

how?"

THE OPERA.
Fay Te mp!eton and Company an
Unqualified Success.

Last night the Fay Tempieton opera company
appeared at Renshaw Opera House in Cffeu.
iach's comic opern Girote Girofa. The per.
formance was an unlocked for tleat as no an.
ticipatlon formed ofthis company came up to
the excellence of the performance. The com
pany is particularly strong one. headed by
the bright particular star Fay Templeton who
posses es every quality that enhances her sue
cess as an artiste-taiented, young, handsome.
a rich, silvery voice, a tho ough actress. and full
of that 'chic' and abandon-all combine TO
make her what she is, one Of the finest artists
in comic ope a that graces the stage today. In
CIRCLE Miss Templcton had the opportunity of
showing her qualities as a. actrt IS as we'll as a
vocalist Her drinking" song being magniti-
cent in execution and acting and demanded a
vociferous ENCORE from the large and fashion,
able audience.
The characters next worthy Of mention are
the Mourzouk OF Mr.. Glmi and the Don Bolero
of Mr.. Brown. Both gentlemen were frst-class
in widely various lines of business. The Moor
ish thief was as terocious and untamable as the
aged Don was seuile, hen. peeked and weak
minded. MI. (lmi has a fine baritone voice.
which told out to splendid advantage. while
Mr.. Brown in his comic song and business, ex-
cited much applau e and laughter. Marasauin
we'll played by Mr.. Gulberson and fairly
sung, though the gentleman's voice made some
''bad breaks In places. Paquito was in good
hands, those Of Miss Lille West; she has an at
person, and her voice, though lost on
the lower notes, was fiue in the kiss song, which
Won a well. deserved encore. The other Charac-
ter which merits mention was Aurora person.

FIRE.
w. A.. Boyce's Pl.ning Mill a
TOTAL Wreck.

About half past J = O'Clock yesterday evening
the planning mill of W. A. Boyee was discovered
to be on fire, The alarm was given and crowos
fastened to lend q helping hand. Tn mill
was far out Of the fire limits and the hosemen
were unable to assist except with buckets. The
house and stable of Mr.. Boyce stood near the
mill and were in great danger of be.ng de.
stroyed too, blt the bucket brigade spread
blankets over the sides and roofs and by a lib
eral use of water thrown on with buckets saved
his house. On the o her ii e of the mill aud
closer to some lumber that was burning stood
the house Of MI. Scott the plasterer. 1t was on
this house that the real fight was made. Only
the most determined efforts prevented Its de-
struction Several times the men ware driven
away by the heat but Others rushed In and
took their places. 1t was a very close call for
this house. The loss is about $4,000 and not q
dollar of insurance. Mr. Boyce estimates mis- loss
at not less than $4,000. He says the ma
chiaery and mill cost him $4,000. Besides this
he had a stock of moulding. etc, on hand
Everything in the mill was destroyed. Messrs.
J. K, Clark, William Thompson. Tn Montana
Improvement Company. and others had umber
in and about the mill. This was all destroyed.
The loss falls very heavy on Mr.. Royce ana AZ
an unfortunate time. He has been struggling
to rid himself ofiudebtedness incurred several
years ago and was IN a fair way to be tree
again and that in a short time. But this affair
leaves him If anything deeper in debt Than he
was three years since. But Mr.. Boyce Is a
n,ucky man and not easily discouraged. We
hone to see him soon again on his feet and
making money. May no such misfortune again
oyertake him.

THE BAKING POWDER WAR

The Royal Baking Powder Company is still making en-
emies among those who are manufacturing and selling i'm
pure articles for leavening purposes land their name is legion
and this fact shows that it is continuing its vigorous work in
the interests of the public.
This Company set out some time ago to expose the char
acer, and, so far as possible, to breal- up the sale of adu1ter-
ated baking powders. Having found from an examination of
a number OF specimens procured from grocers that they were
generally of an inferior character, some devoid Of all leaven-
ing properties, and many of them actually poisonous, it
brought the matter before the public, denounced the makers
by name in the press and to the health authorities.
The affair was speedily taken up by physicians, Boards
of Health, and Legislatures throughout the country; chemists
were employed to make scientific tests Of the various powders
in the market, and the Government itself directed analyses to
be made before it would purchase the supplies needed for
army, navy and Indian uses.
The result more than justified the charges 50 boldly made
by the Royal Company. Not only were the majority of bak-
ing powders in the market found to be largely adulterated,
but many OF them were ascertained to contain lime, alum, and
other poisonous ingredients to such an extent as to render
them positively unsafe for use in human food. The informa-
ton spread throughout the country and created a profound
sensation. As a result many of these injurious mixtures were
driven out of the market, and the sale of all of them seriously
interfered with,
No occurrence Of recent date has been 50 far-reaching as
this in its beneficial influence upon the public health, and the
action of the Royal Baking Powder Company in the inaueu-
ration of such a warfare, and in carrying it forward with such
important results, were universally commented upon and APP
preciated. In making the charges they did not hesitate to
enter into competition with every other baking powder in the
country, and it isa public satisfaction that in all the tests and
analyses made the Royal Baking Powder was placed at the
head of the list and declared by Boards Of Health and by the
Government chemists, Drs. Mott and Love, to be superior to
all others in strength, and absolutely pure and free from all
inferior substances.
In continuing this warfare against the adulterated food.
more particularly the alum, lime, and otherwise impure and
inferior baking powders which INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers
are endeavoring to force upon the market in this locality, the
Royal will undoubtedly meet with the old-ime opposition and
abuse. We are confident, however, that the public will APP
preciate, as heretofore, both the object Of the 'stop thief cry
and the work of the Royal Company in its attempts to pro-
tect it and to rid the market of these dangerous articles of
food.

Weary Of Life.

Yesterday morning it began to ibe noised
about on the street that there had been another
case of morphine on Park street. It was soon
learned that Lizzie Andrews, a young woman or
rather girl, for she was not sixteen years old,
had committed suicide DR.. sarchet, the coro-
ner, was soon called. u jury summoned aud at
the inquest the verdict was given that she hal
deliberately killed herself.
This girl and her sister. who is a few years
older than she, came to Butte a few months
ago. 1t is said that they LETT the roof OF their
stepfather in Mormondom because OF Ill treat
ment. That he was accustomed to send tn m
out on the street IT, beg for money with which
to buy whisky for him. When hey came here
it was from desperation and In despair OF ever
faring any better they threw themselves into a
life of shame. The younger one could not en-
dure it and the thought of never being able to
do or be any better doubtless drove her 70 com.
NIT the rash deco. She is to be buried to-day.

than fifty dollars"
Wilfully is TIE law being violated by many,
;rnocently by a few. We. Therefore, earnestly
call upon all true sportsmen, especially the
rsnchmen to assist us in bringing to justice
these yiolators, and report to any officer OF the
