"A couple of tons of powder exploded in
Salt Lake City the other day, wrecking every
thing in the neighborhood and shaking the
whole town. A deaf old woman who
lived a couple of blocks away pricked up her

her daughter, Law me- do believe l am
getting back my hearing. l heard that
knock at the door as plainly as anything in

As the democratic convention failed to
nominate candidate for state SENATOR
the ARGUS would suggest that the sena>
torial committee fill the vacancy on the
ticket by placing thereon the name of
Maux D. Hauberg, the nominee of the
peoples party. He is a good, honest,
straightforward citizen. and having
strong democratic tendencies. if elected
would naturally offiliate with the demo-
cratic members.
Mr.. Hauberg was born in Holstein,
Germany, September 80, 1887. In 1S4S
his family left the old country and locat>
cd in Tennessee. and afterwards lived in
other states of the south. They finally
brought up at Davenport; from there
they went to Moline, and then settled in
Coe township, this county, in 1854. Mr..
Hauberg was but ten years of age when
he came to this country. He received a
common school education in the south.
He has always been hard worker, and
for the past 25 years he has been en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits, owning a
fine farm in Coe township. Mr., Hauberg
has been quite prominent in political
matters He was formerly democrat,
and cast his first vote for Stephen A.
Douglas, but in local affairs he votes for
the best man for the position He was
interested in the geeeUback movement
from its incipiency, and on two occasions
was that party's candidate for sheriff, and
made strong runs each time.

ANincident occurred in the treasury de-
partment last week which is illustrative
of the moral among the presidents demos
cratic appointees. During the absence OF
Assistant Secretary Thompson, his son,
without his fathers knowledge. passed II
civil service examination and was ap
pointed to place in the treasury depart
ment. The father knew nothing of the
appointment until young Thompson had
been assigned to his desk. Instead of
congratulating the young man he told him
that there would be suspicion that he
secured the place through his fathers in
fiuence. Young Mr. Thompson thereupon
handed in his resignation. When Assist
ant Secretary Thompson was asked about
the matter he admitted that the facts
were as stated, and that it was true that
he had counseled his son to decline the
appointment, He had not advised him
to resign because he doubted the honesty
of the examination aud report; but be-
cause he did not wish to give the enemies
of civil service reform any grounds upon
which to assail the operation of the law.
Il am for civil service reform and strong
er in my advocacy of it since | have been
in Office than | was before, and do not
wish to afford anyone a chance to sus>
pect my devotion to it"

The Chicago firm, under whose direC
tions the band OF women are testing our
baking powders has hit upon very cum
ming trick. The test" as performed by
these ladies, is TO mix the baking powder
they peddle and that found in the kitchen
with water, separately. and call at
teD.ion TO the difference of action That
found in the kitchen, if pure, will foam
up quickly like champagne. The baking
powder they desire to prove SUI
perior will rise slowly, foaming like new
yeast, over the top of the glass. This
slower action results from the presence
of flour. albumeh or gum in their baking
powder, and is evidence of adulteration
TO prove this. fill glass half full of
water, mix together equal parts of -four
and some pure baking powder pour into
the water and stir quickly. There will
be produced precisely the same effect
the slow, foaming action-produccd by
the tests with the adulterated baking
powder as made by our lady missionaries
from Chicago. The effect will be even
heightened by adding little lime. such as
the baking powder carried by the ladies
and the other low grade adulterated DOW
ders contain. OF course, any statements
made in reference to other baking pow
ders, by parties caught in practising such
tricks as these for the purpose of deceiv-
ing the public, will be entitled TO nc
credit.

Virgins INDIGNANT.
He Thinks He Deserves Better Treatment
A False Prediction.

OTTAWA, Ont, Sept ? Virgins has is
sued the following address:
To THE PEOPLE OF THE INTERSTATE The
prediction published in the New York press
and asserted TO be mine, that great earth
quake Will devastate New Orleans Galveston
and other southern cities along and south of
the j0th parallel On Wednesday, the 9th
inst, is talsehood, 1t was originated here
by their own correspondents and for their
own purposes. l never received any reward
except unstInted abuse for weather or other
predictions, my sole object being to protect
public property and save human life, and In
this | have treated the United States, the
home of my ancestors, the same as my own
country. Two years ago | foresaw that n
great storm would occur IN the North
and South Atlantic from Sept % to
Oct. |, 1856. and that an earthquake
would occur in America from Aug y, Ia
Oct p, the greatest strain being on Sept -
south of the Both parallel of north latitude.
and SO made my report to the Canadian gov
eminent. This is the sum and substance of
my prediction and of my knowledge on the
subject, and the newspaper talk OF d"vasta-
ton of states, swallowing up of cities and of
ruin generally. has originated with the New
York press for their own advantage and TO
brighten religious and other lunatics through
out the United States, at the same time
abusing me. After having saved the lives
and vessels of. the Gloucester fishing fleet in
March, 1888, when the Hull fishing fleet was
lost, think YOU viii say | am deserving Of
better treatment But this viii not agai-
| occur. Only one newspaper IN New York
