Bitter Bread.

Complaint is frequently made by
those who use baking powders that
they leave in bread, biscuit, or cake
a disagreeable, bitter taste. This
taste follows the use of all impure
baking powders, and is caused either
by their containing alum introduced
to make a cheap article, by the i'm
pure and adulterated character of
other ingredients used, or from the
ignorance of their manufacturers of
the proper methods of combining
them. These baking powders leave
in the bread a residum formed Of
lime, earth, alum, or other deleterious
matters, not always, thourh f.equent
ly, tastable in the food, and by all
physicians classed as injurious to
health. The Royal Baking Powder
is free from this serious defect. In
its use no residue is left, and the loaf
raised by it is always sweet, light and
wholesome, and noticeably free from
the peculiar taste complained Of The
reason Of this is because it is COM
posed of nothing but absolutely pure
materials, scientifically combined in
exactly the proper proportions Of acid
and alkali to act upon and destroy
each other, while producing the lar
gest amount OF raising power We are
justified in thi, assertion from the un-
qualified statements made by the
Government chemists, who after
thorough and exhaustive tests recon-
nended the "Royal" for Government
tai use because of its superiority over
all Others in purity, strength and
wbolesomeness. There is no danger
of bitter bread or biscuit where it
alone is used.

half of Jones and his gang that an in

of the offending citizens were hung in
elligy and ordered to leave the town.
One of them, Moses Clinton, left and
went to Cincinatti, and was elected
by the Democrats Of that city a mem
Der OF the board of aldermen.
For years all this gang held Law
renee County in state Of turmoil,
and now the people ere afraid to say
much, as Jones from his cell in the
penitentary sends out threats of ven
geance he expects to wreck when he
gets out. Several attempts have been
made to secure his pardon but so far
they have failed. After awhile, how
ever, complacent governor will be
found, and Jones will be turned loose
From his we'll known vindictive
character it is believed that release,
whenever it does take place, will be
followed by a series ofappalling crimes,
in which those who have taken active
part against him will be the victims.
The Moodys are all dead-the last
dying not long after the conviction Of
Jones. The TolIivers, | believe, have
all removed from the state.
Another desperate gang in that
section is that of the Reeveses. Rob.
berry, murder, and arson are but play
time with them, but so far they have
escaped being brought to justice. So
we'll are they organized that the Off
GERS can take no move against them
without their being speedily informed
OF it, and when the sheriff makes his
appearance they boldly attack him
and whip him off. In attempting to
arrest them more than one officer has
lost his life. Now that the Archer
gang is broken up, perhaps that of the
Reeveses will soon be destroyed.

is capacious and retentive. One might

great stores of "reminiscences from his

old fire when he Indignantly defends
his administration Of the Southern
cause from the ISLANDERS of its enemies.

A Young Man BrOods over HI Luck
 and Shoots Himself.
 In Hartford Saturday night Joseph S. Allen, a young man of 24, while insane from breeding over ill luck and troubles, com mitted suicide. He was the son of s. J. Allen, a pen maker at P. Jewell & Sons, and twin brother of Wilbur Allen, bridge build CT. A short time ago, after being out oI work for considerable time, he secured 8 position as brakeman on the Berlin branch of the Consolidated road. Saturday he went to Hartford to see his wife, the daughter of Mrs. Monroe, who while he was out of work had been living with her mother. MT. and Mrs. Allen went for a long walk and return ing about 10 o'clock stood on the steps of the house talking. Allen wanted his wife to come to New Britain to stay over Sunday, but she said she could not dc so convenient ly. She, however, promised to come to New Britain to live by the middle of this week, or as soon as she could get her effects ready to move. Allen seemed satisfied with the arrangement, and his wife kissed him good night and went into the house. She had barely got into the second room from the front when pistol shot was heard. She was greatly alarmed end called to her mother, who was in the basement, "Can that be Joe?" Mrs. Monroe ran up stairs, and locking through window saw Aliens body. She aroused Wilbur Allen, who was sleeping in 8 front room, and they together got Joseph into the house and upon bed He was unconscious but living. Dr. Fox was hastily called and Dr. Fuller came later Allen lived about an hour and died without reOaininO consciousness.
