GOVERNMENT TESTS.
The Royal Baking Powder Declared Superior
to all Others.

The fact that Royal Baking Powder is in al respects
the best baking powder offered the public has been
established beyond question.
Prof. H. A. Mott, when employed by the T. S. Govern
ment TO analyze the various baking powders of the market
to determine which the best and most economical after
an extended investigation reported in favor Of the Roya
and it was adopted for government USE
Prof Mott has continued his examinations Of baking
powders sold at the present day. and now arms it as mis-
deliberate Judgment arrived after most thorough research
and careful examination of the principal brands of the
market that the Royal is undoubtedly the pures and most
reliable baking powder offered to the public Prof Mott in
his recent report says:
1.-The Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure. for
have so found it in many tests made both for that
and the I. S. Government
will go still further and state that because Of the
aces that company have for obtaining perfectly pure
cream OF tartar and for other reasons dependent upon the
proper proportions of the same and the method Of its
aration the Royal Baking Powder is undoubtedly the
purest and most reliable baking powder offered to the
public. DIR. HENRY A NOTr D.,

The following communication is as yet
private affair of Mr.. Goodnight's, having
never been officially fled and as it may
have some bearing on the case, it is repro
duced here:
AUSTIN, April %, 1886.
To the Honorable State Land Board
About April 4, 1884 some twenty five
applications were made to the surveyor of
Donley county, Texas, to lease for ten
years certain school lands in Donley.
Briscoe Armstrong, Floyd, Hall and
Swisher counties, in what is known as the
Palo DurO range, owned by Adair d Good
night, and the Quitoque and Tule ranges,
owned by Camelia Adair, aggregating
467,63 acres in each application. Appli-
cants bid cents per acre per annum for
dry and five cents for watered lands. All
these lands were offered by the surveyors
to the highest bidder, and in default of
better bids, were awarded to the respect
i've applicants, and the applications were
forwarded to the secretary of the land
board at Austin. Tenders have been made
yearly of the annual rentals for said lands
according to tie terms of said applica-
ton, and the same refused by the land
board. The original applicants have
heretofore assigned to Camelia Adair
such of said lands as are in the Quitoque
and Tule ranges, and assigned to Good
night those situated in the Palo Duro
range, transferring all rights and privi-
leges acquired by virtue of said applica-
tions, awards and tenders. There is now
due, according to the terms of said appli-
cations, aggregating S5S,858.75, which
will be paid to the land board upon the
acceptance of said applications, and the
execution of leases therefor, and the leas-
ing to US for six years all other Unbiased
and unused school lands in said range at
four cents for dry and five cents for water
ed lands, Your acceptance must be made
known to me Goodnight within thirty
days from this date.
especially,
G. GOODNIGHT.

The MARKETS.
FINANCIAL & COMMERCIAL

AUSTIN, May 4-Quietude continues the ruling
feature in the local market The volume of bust
ness both wholesale and retail, is somewhat in eX-
of that of this time last year, but there is no
rush or boom, The situation is simply satisfac-
tory, with healthy prospect for something better.
Real estate is gradually advancing. We have a
prospect of extending railroad communication
both westward and also to the eastward which WILL
it is expected, eventually extend to the territory
uihutory to the trade of Austin.
The wholesale hardware trade is fair, as is also
the case in dry goods, but quietude here, as in
other departments, is also the prevailing feature

II have both used and sold Prickly Ash
Bitters for number of years, and think
it the best bitters made for biliousness,
Liver Complaints and for toning up the
system, so writes W. H. Cole, druggist, of
Joplin, Mo. A single trial of this rem
edy will convince any person of the
truth of the above.
