A Perfect Baking Powder.

The great success of the Royal Baking
Powder is due to the extreme care exercised
by its manufacturers to make tentirely pure,
uniform in quality, and Of the highest leav-
ening.power. All the scientific knowledge,
care and skill attained by twenty years
practical experience are contributed toward
this end, and no pharmaceutical preparation
can be dispensed with greater accuracy,
precision and exactness. Every article used
is absolutely pure. A number of chemists
are employed to test the strength of each
ingredient, SO thatits exact power and effect
in combination with its co-ingredients, is
definitely known. Nothing is trusted to
chance, and no person is employed in the
preparation of the materials used or the
manufacture of the powder, who is not an
expert in his particular branch of the bust
ness. As consequence the Royal Baking
Powder is of the highest grade of excellence,
always pure, wholesome and uniform in
quality. Each box is exactly like every 9TH
er, and will retain its powers and produce
the same and the highest leavening effect in
any climate, at any time. The government
chemists, after having analysed all the prin-
cipal brands in the market, in their reports
placed the Royal Baking Powder at the head
of the list for strength, purity and whole
someness, and thousands of tests all over
the country have further demonstrated the
fact that its qualities are, in every respect
unrivalled.

M. Balm visited them and spent most en-
joyable evening. The new and handsome
stable just completed by Mr. Baine was bril-

mazes of the dance. A good old fashioned
bean supper was served, after which exer-

Convicted of Murder.

Ponca, Nov. Robert q. Blair, who
murdered James Alexander, an old
Dixon county farmer, two weeks ago,
was tried before Judge Crawford at this
place Thursday and Friday. The muir
der was most cold blooded affair and
the proof was direct and conclusive. He
was tried on the charge of murder in the
first degree, and that he was guilty was
proved beyond doubt. He fired three
shots into Alexander's back, two of
which took effect in his back and one in
his heart. either of which was sufficient
to produce death. The attorneys fol
both the state and the defense stub.
bornly fought the case, and at $50 yes.
terday afternoon it was given to the jury
At o'clock the jury filed into court and
gave their verdict, which found Blail
guilty OF murder IN the second degree
A motion for new trial was oVerruled
and after sharp review of the evidence
in the case, Judge Crawford sentenced
him to confinement at hard labor in the
penitentiary for life.

| Portland, Ore, Nov Six companies
OF the fourteenth infantry left Van

followed at 2:A0. They went by boat to
Kalama where they took special train
for Seattle. The troops will reach Seat
tie about 1880 tonight.
Portland, Ore, Nov. Tit is just
learned from Vancouver that indictments
have been found against thirty-two per-
sons OF Tacoma for participation in the
Outrage against the Chinese at that
place. Warrants for the arrest of the
indicted persons have been placed IN the
hands of the United States marshal and
will be served early Monday morning.
1t Is understood that among the persons
indicted are Mayor Weisbach of Ia
coma, the police magistrate of the
city, editors of two newspapers
and other prominent persons. Since the
presidents proclamation, the feeling in
this city is that there will be an end to
the anti-Chlnese riots on Puget sound.
There are still in Tacoma about fifty
Chinese, most OF them employed as
servants. They remain in doors day and
night, afraid to venture in the streets
because OF threats of assassination. 1t
is learned that all other Chinese have
been driven out and their houses burned.
A feature of the expulsion of the
Chinese from Tacoma was that the
mayor took a prominent part III the
movement, and the Ledger, which is the
leading newspaper there, strongly
endorsed the riotors action and coun-
seled steps which were subsequently
taken. The Ledger, it is SAID, refused to
publish protests against lawlessness
over the signatures of the writers,
and used all it's energy to intimi-
date those III the community who
were not opposed to the Chinese. It is
thought that witnesses against the per-
sons indicted will be afraid to testify in
open court at the risk of having their
lives taken and property destroyed by
the mob.
Los Angles, Col, Nov. Fire in the
Chinese quarters at Pasadena, a suburb
, OF this city, caused By carelessness Of
Chinese, destroyed several small build
ings yesterday. To-day meeting of
citizens was held and the Chinese given
| twenty -four hours to move outside OF
the town limits. The Chinese express
ed willingness to comply with the or
der.
The Chinese to-day leased piece Of
ground outside of the town limits and
Immediately began the erection of build
ings. All Chinese removed their prop.
erty to the new location this evening
without further disturbance.
San Francisco. Nov. Judge Hoff-
man has decided that in future, il Chi
nese applicants to land here fail to prove
that their certificates are genuine, the
United States district attorney can be
given possession of such documents as
evidence of fraud, aud institute pro-
ceedings to prosecute the holders. 1t is
believed the decision will stop efforts of
Chinese to land without proper creden-
tiaIs.

Friday nights snow storm, which was
mild sprinkle in this locality, assumed
the dimensions of an embryo blizzard to
the northward. The train west from
Mitchell was stuck in drift between
Kimball and Chamberlain and the Hast
ing & Dakota division of the Milwaukee
road was closed between Aberdeen and
Milbank. Along the Northwestern from
Huron westward nearly foot of snow
fell, which was blown into
heavy drifts by twenty mile
wind. A furious storm of snow and
wind ragged in the Black Hills. At Fargo
and Grand Forks the wintry visitation
was serious and trains on the Fargo g.
Southwestern were snow bound. The
Jim river line was, as usual. free from
interruption. In the counties south of
the Mitchell and Chamberlain line OF
the Milwaukee the storm was light and
farm work uninterrupted.
