Powers and Foreman, District Attor-

by the leading artist Of Salt Lake

accord, on seeing the picture, at once
said that the group was "all sand,' .
"clear grit" etc, out of complimen,
for the g ,od anti Mormon work done
by the gentlemen named, and Fred

Bitter Bread.

Complaint is frequently made by |
those who use baking powders that
they leave in bread, biscuit, or cake
raised by them 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 cheap article),
by the impure and adulterated char
acter of other ingredients used, or
from the ignorance of their manufac-
turers of the the proper methods of
combining them. These baking pow
ders leave in the bread residuum
formed of lime, earth, alum, or other
deleterious matters, not always, though
frequently, 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 residuum is left, and the loaf
raised by it is always sweet, light and
wholesome, aud noticeably free from
the peculiar taste complained OF.
The reason of this is because it is
composed of nothing but absolutely
pure materials, scientifically combined
in exactly the proper proportions of
acid and alkali to act upon and de-
stroy each other, while producing the
largest amount of rising power. We
are justified in this assertion from the
unqualified statements made by the
government chemists, who, after thor.
ough and exhaustive tests, recon
mended the "Royal" for governments
use, because of its superiority ove1
all others in purity, strength, ane
; wholesomeness. There is no DANCE
of bitter bread or biscuit where i
? alone is used.

THE SCn00LHOUsE ROOF
A Covering that VIII Susta,. a,mos,
Any Amount Of Snow.

The recent snowfall has caused some
apprehension that the new school.
house might be damaged because the
root Is not entirely completed; but
there need be no fear, as, where the
tin is not on, the boards are so close
together as to shut out the snow. On.
less the weather should turn warm
enough to melt it.
Speaking of the roof recalls the
fact that it is most substantially built
and it would be difficult to collect
enough snow upon it to crush it in.
The original specifications were not
satisfactory, and have been improved
upon until the roof will contain 30
oOO feet of lumber and cost $3.50
more than as first planned. 1t is
built upon the truss-bridge plan, eigh,
trusses crossing the building one way
and six at right angles, all of them
put together with iron rods. As re.
suit the roof bears upon the wall.
without the tendency to spread o.
"bulge" them. 1t is estimated that .
couple of locomotives would be easil,
held up by the roof, so well is it built
aud there need never be any fear a
to its safety, no matter how heavy
fall of snow may come.

for, Jacob Sharp and a band Of spectators
obtained from the Board of Aldermen with
only one dissenting voice the permission
which had been repeatedly refused to others.
Though the grant was of immense value the
city received very little in the way of COM
pensation for it. The character of New
York aldermen is not of the best, and the
conviction Immediately seized the public
mind that the grant had been obtained only
by liberal sums of money paid to the city
fathers in the way of brides. The matter,
however, has slept until this winter, when
committee of the legislature began the inquiry
into it,
The committee called before it Jacob Sharp,
the head of the enterprise. and catechised
him in regard to his connection with the af
fair. But Sharp disclosed one Of the worst
memories on record, and little definite could
be got out of him. His books revealed as
little as himself. Though he had issued over
100000 bonds on the strength of his fran
chise he could not for the life of him tell
what had become of but a small part of
them. Hundreds of thousands of dollars had
disappeared he knew not whittier
But though Sharp's memory was bad and
and his books defective, circumstances were
not absent to indicate where some of the
money had gone. 1t was learned that about
the time Sharp got his grant several alder
men, who previously had been supposed TO
be impecunious, invested large sums OF mon
er in real estate. Snatches of conversation
between Sharp and several members Oh the
board had heen overheard and remembered,
which pointed to some very peculiar trans
actions between them Several OF the
aldermen also mysteriously disappeared and
could not be found when wanted to tes-
tify; and finally to cap the climax Sharp
sold out the road, or attempted to, to Phila-
delphia parties, hoping thus to prevent the
CITY from getting back some of the money
which rightfully belonged to it. Though
none of these circumstances, nor all of them,
constitute sufficient evidence to establish
the guilt of Sharp and the aldermen in a
court of justice, they are enough to make it
morally certain that the charges against
them are true, and that the conspiracy which
has been suspected really existed. Now
comes the report that two of the aldermen
have become frightened, and to save them
selves from the penitentiary have peached
ON their confederates. If this report is con-
firmed we NAV expect that Mr.. Jacob Sharp
and his fellow conspirators will shortly be
started on the road to Sing Sing.
