GREENFIELD JEALOUSY.
schining Tries to Put an End to His Ex-
istence.

Yesterday morning about ~ O'Clock
the Sunday tranquility OF Commerce
street was disturbed by pistol shot, the
sound Of which came from the small
fruit store next to the Express Printing
Company. Messrs. Frank Grice, Siceluff
and Rowe, Of the Express rushed in to
investigate the affair, all three OF them
arming themselves wi h pistols. On
going to the back part Of the store they
discovered q man lying on the floor
weltering In blood. This man was the
proprietor Of the store, whose name was
Schilling, and with the pistol that
was taken from his hand 1t was
evident he had attempted to COM
NIT suicide. DIR. Brsunnagsl, the city
physician was promptly on hand, and
on examination IL was found Schilling
had shot himself in the left temple, the
bullet ranged downwards and lodged on
the frontal bone, from whence 1t was eX-
trscted. Schilling is in a somewhat
critical condition, although the wound is
not mortal in it's character. The cause
for this rash act WAS conjugal infelicity,
he suspecting his wife's fidelity and yes
terday morning she upbraided him for
his unjust suspicious, and as she left him
In the back room to go into the store,
she was startled by the shot. The pis-
tol he did the deed with was miniature
one Of French manufacture.

ATTEMPTED ROBBERY.
Four in the Party---Two of them Wound
ed, and all of them Captured.
pecIaI to the San Antonio Light.

Special to the San Antonio Light.
PLEAsANToN, Texas, March 22.-Last
Saturday night about o o'clock, four
masked men entered the store Of d. j..
II. Howard, which is about II miles west
Of Pleasanton, in the Gates Valley, and
attempted robbery. Mr.. Howard heard
the parties making their entry in the
store he resisted, and began firing upon
them. Two Of the robbers were shot,
and Howard also received a serious
wound In the neck. though 1t is thought
will not be fatal. All four Of the robbers
have been caught by Deputy Sheriff Van
Trimble and are now safely lodged in
jail.
Jack and Jim Poteet are the names OF
the two men who were shot, one in the
hand, the other in the shoulder. They
are sons Of q well TODD farmer, living
about eight miles from Pleasanton. and
were raised in this county. The other
tive men are comparatively strangers
and have only been in the county a short
time. They gave their names, one as
Strait, the other as Burriss. The affair
necessarily creates considerable excite
ment in the usually quiet old town, and
Deputy Sheriff Van Trimble is receiving
many commentator for so quickly
catching these men.

An Important Move.

TOPEKA, Kan, March 2O.-rhe Mis-
souri, Pacific Railway Company filed to-
day, in the United States Circuit Court
for the district Of Kansas, a bill in equity
against 300 strikers, charging them and
other late employees with having formed
a conspiracy to abandon their service
and assuming control of its property,
and resisting the performance Of the
offices of the company, thus preventing
the railway from carrying on its busi-
ness as common carrier; that defend
ants are under the orders of a secret Or
ganiZation known as the Knights OF La
Dor, formed for the purpose, among
others, of debating the relations of
members to their employers. The court
issued an Injunction and orders to place
the company in possession of its proper
ty and restrain the strikers from inter-
fering with the company's business.
The federal power is thus directly in
voked, and the case is regarded as test
one and an important move against the
strikers.

THE JAVALINA.
The Wild Hog of Western Texas--3ooo
Skins Sold Annually.

The wild hog of Western Texas is
known as the "jayalIns" pronounced
hayaleeny) among the Mexicans, is in
cressing in this section. 1t 10 Of blue
black color. with long white-tipped bris-
ties large, long head high, sharp back,
and only moderately long legs, not SO
long Ms the domestic hog known as the
raZor-back. 1t lives and subsists in the
jungles and brakes along the streams in
Western Texas, and is becoming very
abundant in Medina, Frio, Zsvslla, La
Sale, Atascosa and McMullen Counties.
The hogs live In droves from 10 up to
100, and are very wild. When cornered
they fight desperately, and are exceed
ingly dangerous to q horse, easily ruin
ing, his legs with their long. sharp
tusks. When disturbed they set up
swapping of the jaws that is rather ter
rifying TO timed person. The killing
OF the jayalinas and selling the skins Is
developing into quite an industry. 1t is
estimated that at least 5000 iavalina
skins are sold annually in this city at a
price ranging from Is to II! cents each.
One man, Manuel Sanchez, living In Nc
Mullen County, sold over 800 skins in
San Antonio, the animals Of which were
killed by himself and sons. OF late the
meat Of the javalina has been sent into
market and sold as dainty game. 1t re-
sembles goat meat more than the ordin-
airy pork, having but little lard, being
much redder In color than domestic
pork, and is said to taste gamey. The
javalinas would be no improvement on
the domestic hog; and therefore it is not
probable that there ever will be an at
tempt made in that direction. They
are quite small, seldom reaching $50
pounds in weight. They will probably
always remain just what they are now
wild hOgs-until they are extermin-
ated, If ever that will be their fate.

Analysing the Baking Powders.

Under the direction Of the New York
State Board Of Health, 81 different kinds
Of baking powders, embracing all the
brands that could be found for sale in
the State, were submitted to examine
ton and analysis OF Professor G. r.
Chandler, a member Of the State Board
and President of the New York City
Board Of Health, assisted by Professor
Edward G. Love, the well-known late
United States Government chemist.
The official report shows that q 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 preparation Of human food.
Alum was found in twenty-nine sam
Piles. This drug is employed in baking
powders to cheaper their cost. The
presence of lime is attributed to
the impure cream of tartar of COM
merce used in their manufacture.
Such cream OF tartar was also
analysed, and found to contain lime and
other impurities; IN some samples to the
extent Of % Der cent. OF their entire
weight.
All the baking powders OF the market.

not including the alum aud phosphate
powders, which we're long since discar-
ded as unsafe or inefficient by prudent
housekeepers) are made from the impure
cream of tartar Of commerce, and copse-
quently 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 exclusive use Of cream of tartar
specially refined and prepared by patent
processes of the New York Tartar Com
pany, which totally remove the tartrsts
Of lime and other Impurities. 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"
Professor Love, who made the analysis
OF baking powders for the New York
State Board Of Health as well as for the
Government, says Of the purity and
wholesomeness Of Royal"
81 have tested package of Royal
Baking Powder which l purchased in
the open market, and find 1t composed
Of pure and wholesome ingredients. 1t
is cream Of tartar powder Of high de-
gree Of merit, and does not contain
either alum or phosphates or any injuri-
GUS substances. Z. G. LOVE, PHI. D."
