HOW BIG WAS ALEXANDER. Pa?

A Kansas City paper desires to know
how large Wichita is, anyhow. 1t would
be difficult matter to give anyone, es-
pecially anyone who had never been outside
of Kansas City, any very definite idea of
magnitude of the city. But we might men
ton the fact that last week it rained in the
southern part of the city until the streets
were muddy while the people in the north
part of the city. in dust and sunshine, re-
mained in utter ignorance of the blessing
which had fallen to the lot of their fellow
citizens until the EAGLE appeared next
morning. Again, this week, it rained in
the northern part of the city while clear
skies overspread the southern half of our
people. In other words no ordinary rain
can cover Wichita all at onee

ANALYZING THE BAKING POW
nEISS

Under the direction of the New York
state board of health, eigbty-four differ
ent kinds of baking powders, embracing
all the brands that could be found for
sale in the state, were submitted to ex-
animation and analysis by Prof. G. F..
Chandler a member of the state board,
and president of the New York city board
of health, assisted by Prof. Edward u.
Love, the well known late United States
government chemist.
The official report shows that large
number of the powders examined were
found to contain alum or lime; many OF
them to such an extent as to render them
seriously Objectionable for use in the pre-
paration of human food.
Alum was found in twenty nine sam
pies. This drug is employed in baking
powders to cheaper their cost. The pres
ence of lime is attributed to the impure
cream of tartar of commerce used In their
manufacture. Such cream of tartar was
also analyz d and found to contain lime
and other impurities; in some samples to
the extent of SO per cent. of their entire
weight.
All the baking powders of the market,
with the single exception of Royal" mot
including the alum and phosphate pow
ders, which we're long since discarded as
unsafe or inefficient, by prudent house
keepers) are made from the impure cream
of tartar of commerce, and consequently
contain lime to corresponding extent.
The only baking powder yet found by
chemical analysis to be entirely free from
lime, and absolutely pure, is the Royal.
This perfect purity results from the ex'
elusive use of cream of tartar, specially
refined and prepared by potent processes
of the N. Y. Tartar Co., which totally re-
move the tartrate of lime and other i'm
purities. The cost of this chemically pure
cream of tartar is much greater than any
other, and on account of this greater cost
is used in no baking powder but the
"Royal."
Prof. Love, who made the analyses OF
baking powders for the New York state
board of health, as well as for the govern
ment, says of the purity and wholesome
ness of Royal"
II have tested package of Royal Bak
ing Powder which l purchased in the
open market, and find it composed OF
pure and wholesome ingredients. 1t is
cream of tartar powder of high degree
of merit. and does not contain eithel
alum or phosphates or any injurious sub
stances. Z. g. LOVE. PHI. D."

LIFE OF MARTIN IRONS.
HIS FIENDISH CHARACTER POR-
TRAYED BY HIS OWN WIFE.

TRAYED BY HIS OWN WIFE.
st Louis Correspondence of New York Times
The central figure in tine great railroad
strike on the Gould southwestern system
was Martin Irons. To those who know
anything of the man this circumstance
proves conclusively that the strike was
not inaugurated at the request of the best
element in the Knights of Labor of the
southwest, but at the demand of the worst
characters in the order. Irons is master
workman of the assembly at Sedalia. His
election was not procured by the conser-
vative element. His predecessors were
comparatively fair-minded men. They
objected to arbitrary measures. They
we're in favor of giving the railroad com
pany a chance to settle difficulty before
precipitating a strike. This did not suit
the policy of the minority. 1t wanted
man of it's own stamp. 1t was In In favor
of terroriZing the company. 1t succeeded
in cowing the majority, and finally select
ed Irons as the head of the assembly at
Sedalia, and the secretary or district As
sembly No. 101. A few days before the
knights convention was held at Marshall.
Texas, Irons called at the Missouri Pacific
companys Office and asked for return
passes for himself and associates. His re
quest was granted. 1t was for neglectlng
his business in attending this convention
and plotting the visiting knights about the
town, after the convention had adjourned,
that Foreman Hall was discharged by the
receivers of the Texas Pacific Railroad
company.
When Irons determined to begin gem
eral strike on the Missouri Pacific railroad
he was travelling on free pass furnished
to him by the company. He did not take
counsel with the conservative men of the
order. His cronies were the desperate
spirits. He simply did theirbidding Had
he refused to have done so, he would have
been entirely without influence. Having
begun the strike, he determined to main
tain it, as his supporters were those who
committed outrages at the outset. They
IA we'll as Irons, knew that unless the com
pany was beaten at all points, they hac
little chance of obtaining employment OF
the southwestern system. Although, per
haps in the minority, the bad element wa
in control. Their ferOcious threats deter
red those knights who considered tn
strike uncalled for from asserting thei
manhood and finally from even expressing
their opinions.
Powderly saw at glance, upon visiting
the section, that the strike was unjustifl
able. He lacked the backbone to tel
Irons and his associates so, and contente
himself with issuing his secret circular o.
his return to Pennsylvania. Though thu
circular saw the light, and its publication
} did Powderly power of good, he intende
it only for Knights of Labor. 1t had no Ell
feet upon Irons or his supporters, excer
to disgust them.
The result of the strike is a matter G
small consequence to the men who ordel
, ed it. The Knights of Labor may nav
received severe blow; the strikers ma
have been rendered homeless; but Iron
