his remains should rest with those or his wife ana

village has been rendered memorable by dark and

The Royal Baking Powder is made from Cream of Tartar

which the Tarrate of Lime is totally eliminated.
This highly important result has been attained only with
great labor and expense In money alone quarter of
million dollars has been invested in patents machinery and a
pance by which the crude Cream of Tartar being

country these exclusive processes rendered entirely ee
only from the Objectionable Tartrate of Lime, but from
other foreign substances.
This adds greatly to the cost of manufacturing Royal
Baking Powder; but all its other ingredients selected
and prepared with the precise and regardless of labor
expense article produced that entirely free from any
extraneous substance and chemically pure in all respects
No lime, EARTH alum mpurity of any kind can by mad

One great detriment toward stopping the
progress of the FIRE was that the water had
been drawn from the boiler oil tho steam en-
gine to keep il from freezing early in the
night. Water had to- bs pumped into the
engine after ii arriv, d at the fire, which ro-
quired some time. Then again, when En-
giue No. 2, which is a hand enVine con-
trolled by the colOred company, arrived Il
was found that the suction hose had been
cut, completely disabling the or gine.
The colOred company have always done
good work at our fires, and they were much
disappointed when they found that their en-
Rne could not be put to service. The steam
engine did some fine work after it got under
headway, and the fremen and hook and lad
der company did noble work in arresting
the flames which, had it not been for them,
would have consumed all the lower
portion of Main street, includipg
the compress, together with 5000
bales of cotton, Streams of water were pnut-
ed into the ruins until this morning. The
only accident was TO Mr.. Hugh Craig, who
received n very painful. though not danger
Gus scalp wound by q brick failing from the
The Hav,ekamp building. Today Mr.. Craig
is resting quietly.
The cause of the fire is not ku own, though
incendisrism is supposed.
