PASTRY WITHOUT BUTTER. - The
American pie has been subjected to more
unjust abuse from foreign writers than
any other of our distinctive products, if
we except the recent TRADE against the
American hog. And We. we cannot say
that it has been altogether undeserved
because of the villainous, com pound
thick, hard and heavy, that is too often
1nade to do duty as ''crust," and which
by courtesy is called "pastry." Light
tender, faky and digestible pie-crust and
oil kinds of pastry can be made most
readily by the use of Royal Baking Pow.
der without any butter, or with half the
usual portion, if preferred, or with a
small quantity of lard or other shortening
as desired. Pie.crust thus made is much
more wholesome and digestible, besides
being more economical and easier pre-
pared. In addition to saving all the but
ter if desired, one-third the -four is also
dispensed with, as the crust is rolled
that much thinner, the leayening ouali-
ties of Royal Baking Powder swelling it
to the requisite thickness. If drippi0gs
or lard be used, the Royal Baking Pow
der removes any unpleasant taste, rem
dering the crust as short, sweet and pleas
ant as if made from the finest butter.
Those who know the appetizing qualities
OF the genuine homemade American
pie will rejoice that by the aid of Royal
Baking Powder in the pastry it can be
made quite as digestible as it is delicious.

The line of march was as follows:

North to Cady Street, thence west to
West Main Street, thence along West
Main to West Avenue, thence East to ID

Memorial services at Turner Hall were
held Immediately after the ranks of the

Selection by Glee Club.
English Grafton by Rev J. r. Reitzel, OF
Milwaukee.
German Grafton by Rev. VIM. Paul.
Song by Concordia Society.
Benediction by Rev. D. A. Sanford.
Mr.. Reitzel's address was fine, glow
ing tribute to the memory of Gen. Grant
delivered in an easy, graceful manner
and with a clear voice that could be
heard in all parts of the hall. The
speaker showed himself to be complete
master of his subject and the effort was
received by the audience with marked
effect. Mr.. Paul in his remarks in Ger
man spoke with much force and zeal OF
the life and services of General Grant t.
the country. He was with Grants com,
mand during the war, participating in
the battle of Belmont, Grants first en-
gagement in the war of the Rebellion,
and was thus able to speak of Grant from
personal recollections of the great hero
whose death the nation mourned.

Omaha.

Sincethe completion of the new packing
and slaughter houses, South Omaha is max
ing a wonderful ane rapid growth. Besides
the large pork and beef house erected for
Hammond & Co., other dealers nave COM
menced the erection of similar institutions
and still others are contemplated for the
near future. Several dwellings have been
built and twenty OF thirty are now building.
Employment is now furnished to about one
hundred and fifty families, and conservative
estimates place the figure at eight hundred
to one thousand families that will find emu
ployn1ent there a year hence. This offers
great inducements to laboring men to secure
homes now while they are cheap. Specula-
tors will also find it to their advantage to buy
at present prices. The company have made
no change from the original prices. but some
parties who first purchased lots have resold
them at splendid profits, in some cases at
double the purchase price. If i'm SO short a
ime handsome profits are made, what will
be the result when everything is fully devel-
oped !? In the few other cities that are favor
ed with a first class cattle market, fortunes
nave been made by investors i'm real estate,
and the same is certain to follow in South
Omaha. While the whole city of Omaha
will be greatly benefited by the growth and
development of the cattle interest, South
Omaha lots Will enhance in value more rae
pidly than any other by reason OF the prox
unity to the works.

The rapid advance of thu American
Racirg association in wealth and public
importance is q subject which has never
been fully discussed in a newspaper. An
adequate idea can be given only by
stating the number OF races ran this
year, the number of horses in training,
the immense amount of money given
away in prizes and the fortunes invested
In thoroughbred racing stock. From
January l up to and including July 10,
the enormous amount of $3.50, 800 was
given away In purses and stakes, This
money was racsd for by over 1,600

not by any means represent the capital
Invested In the turf. There are many
horses In training which have not started
whose value Is estimated at $250,0 O0.
In addition the stock of yearltngs all
over the cauntry Is worth $1,000, 900,
or an amount very near that
figure, and the stock farm, and
the horsehesh thereon sreH worth
several more. More than 20, 900 persons
earn a livelihood, either as Jockeys, train
ers, owners, breeders or attaches of the
racing associations and other Interests
connected with the turf. The railroads
benefit largely, not only from the general
public, bat from tho owners OF largo
stables who 60 to the various race tracks
with their employees and their blooied
stock. The seaside places and the Inland
racing centers whore the big turf associs-
ton meet also benefit materially. Own
ers spend their money lavishly, and the
big betting men pay high prices for what
they get when they are in luck. Next to
the railroads the hotels make money
largely from the influx of visitors from
all sections, and, more or less. every form
of trade is benefited. Tho interest IN
the turf Is extending every year. New
racing associations are being formed, and
the high prices paid for yearllngs at the
sales has attracted capital to the stock
farms. The Increase In the number Of
