one of the nomadic scribes Of the EAGLE OBJ
served rather foreign-looking gentleman,
with a very distingue appearance but yet
sharply denoting the wreckless abandon of
the true westerner. The gentleman afore-
said was relating story of the first sound
of the locomotive whistle heard in the city
Of Anthony few days ago, when the Fort
Scott road reached the limits of that place.
Said he, "We could not imagine what the
wonderful sound could beat last remem-

One of the most peculiar things In this
market is the crest scarcity of bran. For
over one month the mills here, though run
ming night and day, have been away behind
in their orders. SO much so in fact that
families wanting small orders at time have
great difficulty in getting the article at all.
Many are the theories advanced as TO the
cause of this. But We imagine that about
$1,000 people within an area of nine square
miles with COW to every family takes a
good deal more bran than 1900 did year
and half ago.

Poison at the Front Door.

No article entering so generally into the
food OF every family has been found more
villainously adultsTated than baking pow
de-. For the purpose OF undsrselling those
pc wders OF absolute purity aud wholesome
ness mich alone are safe Tor use ia food,
hundreds Of dealers are putting up baking
powders with cheap snG adHlteraied cream
of tartar, which contains lime. earth etc,
adding strength By the tree uss Of alum.
These adulterated powders are showed
upon the public with ths greatest persist.
ency They ere trtt given a1aY-ieft in
samples al private Tesidencss, with circulars
containing bogus analyses and certificates,
and false representations as to their value,
etc. This TACT Of itself is sufficient to con.
denim them. A first class article will sell on
its merits. No manufacturer whose go DDS
are of value can afford to give them away,
and nor but the cheapest make aud most
inferior OF unmarketable goods require to
be distributed free in order 10 get the public
to use them, and this method is adopted oaly
by parties who have failed to dispose OF "a : II
wares through the ordinary and legitimate
channels OF tIa1e.
Free samples of articles of food left st the
house should be regarded with suspicion.
There is no guarantee of their ThoIes0me-
ness, while there is real dagger that they
contain fatally poisonous compound.
Many instances OF poisosing from the use OF
such samples are recorded.
The only sale way IS ID consign al such
samples immediately TO the ASH barrel and
to turn deaf ear to the statements made
by their vendors. 1t is not worth while to
trifl!e with life and health to the extent of
testing every doubtful baking powder that
comes along. Better TO rely upon an old aud
reliable brand, like the Royal, which he's by
a quarter OF a century's constant use proved
Its perfect wholesomeness and efficiency, or
some other brand that is lot so worthless
81 d cheap that Its proprietoIs can afford to
give it away by the csrt-loed. It IS in it's
favor that the Royal Baking Powder is never
given away. sold by mans OF lotteries, nor
accompanied by chromos, spoons, crockery,
or other gifts, except the gifts of absolute
purity, wbolesomeness, full weight, and su-
perlaiiye leayeniug p0Eer. LIZ own merits

hsve secured for Ii tEs constant patronage

Dr. ]. ]. Polk, an old patriarch, presided at
the meeting. and much speech making, both
from men and women, was INDUCED in.
Some favored the destruction of the
SALOON property, even at the risk OF life and
limb, while the more timid thought tn at tbs
passage of resolutions against Johnson aud
his business would suffice to show public
sentiment. and encourage the officers OF the
law in the fearless discharge OF their duty. A
proposition that they wait upon the saloon
keeper with the olive branch instead OF the
fire brand met with hearty endorsement
and a line was soon formed on the outside
of the old church for the purpose OF
marching two by two to the saloon. That the
demonstration be more effective, the ladies
headed the column. themselves being led by
the old patriarch who had presided at the
meeting, the men bringing up the rear. The
scene was, in many respects, an Impressive
one as they filed down the long hill in sllencs,
TO bear to the saloon keeper the resolutions
which the meeting had unanimously
adopted, and to ask for the sake of the hus-
bands and sons of the community that he
leave off the traffic in their midst. As Ii
happened Johnson was out OF town. and his
bar keeper, Wssh Clare, opened the door as
the ladies surrounded il. He was ss pale as
desth aud tlenbed as If in great fear ss be
declaTtd that be would make no risis -ance
to sDy effort 10 destroy tbs property. The
ladies informed him that they had come Tor
no such purpose; that he was pursuing
business " hich was directly opposed 20 the
best il terests Of the community and TO the
welfare CT it's citizens both here aud here
after; that they came to entreat him In the
name Of his mother and his sisters and OF
his God, to leave of business which would
not only destroy him bat all wh)
came within the radius CT his influence.
Glare im mediately promised that he would
sell no mere liquor in Psrryville, and that
afternoon he closed his place and left for
HarrodsbuTg, where he reported the facts to
Johnson. The latter came 10 Perryyille the
next day and that afternoon removed his
bar fixtures and liquors from the sal oon,
and since that time no intoxicants have bsen
openly sold in the town OF Psrryville.

The first time General Grant left Culpepper
Court mouse, where his headquarters then
were, for Washington, the Quartermaster
made up special tain to accommodate the
sick and such as might have leave of absence
One passen ger car in the train was reserved
for General Grant and the two or three
officers with him, and they did not attract
any special attention as they passed in to the
car. The General was always the plainest
and least osteDtatious man in the army. All
the cars of the train except the one reserved
for General Grant were soon crowded, and
many toldiers were standing on the platform
OF the station.
General Grant was sitting alone on the
side OF the csr next to the platform and near
the door when a soldier came to the door
and was told by the guard that he could not
come into that car. General Grant asked
the guard what the man wanted, and was
told that he wanted to go to Washington.
The General then asked " by he was not per-
mitted 10 come into the car, aud was an
swered that This car is special car for
General Grant and his staff" The General
replied quickly, LET him come in. l only
occupy one scat in this car" This was the
first iEtimation the enard mad that General
Grant ard his staff were in the car. The
General then asked what the other men were
doing who were standing out on the plat
form, and being told that they wanted to
GO to Washington, be said, Let sill who can
crowd in get in" The car was soon filed,
one private soldier taking seat beside the
General and engaging him in conversation
near all the way to Alexandra, not know
ing with whom he was talking.
