Caught in Missouri.

A day or two ago Sheriff True received a
letter from officials in Missouri, stating that
they held a man named Fowler and his wife,
the man being wanted in Portland for steal
ing and reward of $500 being offered for
his recovery. The letter says that both the
man and his wife have given a good deal of
trouble to the Missouri authorities. Investi-
cation by Sheriff True showed that the man
was wanted at Sandwich, N. H., not in Port
land. The fellow was arrested in Saco last
year ON a telegram from Marshal Decelle,
and Officer Hanson of the Portland police
force went to Saeo and brought him to this
city. From the description given of Fowler
in the letter, Mr.. Hanson readily recognized
the man whom he had brought here. Mar
shall Deeelle took the man and woman to the
New Hampshire line and handed them over
to the officers of that State. The couple
were handcuffed together, but while on the
train Fowler on some pretence got the hand
cuffs removed and jumped from the train,
getting clear. The woman was tried and
acquitted, and the reward of $500 was offered
for the apprehension of the man. Sheriff
True has notified the authorities of New
Hampshire of the facts and Fowler is quite
likely to again visit that States

A LaiI Breaker CAPTURED.

In September, 1888, Samuel P. Merrill
escaped from Pennington Jail and from that
time to yesterday has been at large. Mon
day Sheriff True received letter from the
Sheriff of Franklin county which stated that
there were reasons to suppose Merrill was in
this vicinity. Sheriff True at once placed
the matter in the hands of Deputy Gribben
and the latter, after few hours learned that
the man was keeping cobbler's shop at
Cape Elizabeth. Yesterday morning Deputy
Gribben went over to the shop and entered
into conversation with Merrill, calling him
by name The man answered to the name
all right but said he could not place his
visitor. Gribben then said "Why, Merrill,
have / changed so much as all that since you
broke ont of Pennington jail?" Merrill
after time acknowledged he was caught
and said 'Let me go up stairs moment and
get some of my things at the same time
starting, followed by Gribben. Suddenly
Merrill sprang to table and picked up
revolver lying there. He was not quick
enough, though, for before he could turn
Gribben saw what he was up to and sprang
upon .the cobbler and grabbed him by the
throat and noored him. Then the handouts
were placed upon his wrists and the bird
was secured Deputy Gribben brought Mer-
rill over to the Jail and he will be returned
to Pennington to-day. The capture re-
fleets much credit upon Mr.. Gribben

AN IMPORTANT ACHIEVEMENT.
The Chemical Purity of the Royal
Saking Powder.

For some time past the question of purity
in baking powders has formed quite feature
of newspaper discussions, and eminent doe
tors of philosophy have given opinions as to
the ingredients which compose many of the
articles sold under that NAME The investi
cations have narrowed down to the limit
which awards the Royal Baking Powder the
palm OF purity, and several of the most dis
tinguished scientists have testified to their
conviction that no extraneous or deleterious
matter enters into its composition. The
Royal Baking Powder Company have achiev-
ed worldwide reputation for the success
which has marked their preparation of cream
of tartar for baking purposes. 1t is indis-
putably shown that they have eliminated all
elements of tartrate of lime, alum or other
impurities, and present to hepublic health
full and chemically pure article. Such wide
ly known chemists as Henry Morton, E. G.
Love, I'll. A. Mott, VIM. McMurtrie and 9TH
ers, have verified its superiority over other
manufactures, and testified, through practi-
cal experience, to its excellence. 1t is well
for families to observe the fact that it costs
more to manufacture the Royal Baking Pow
der than any other, but it is, as shown by
chemical analysis, the only absolutely pure
baking powder made.
