ORGANIZING.
A Large Gathering of the Ladies Yes
terday Afternoon.

There was quite a large gathering OF
ladies' yesterday afternoon at the Presby-
terrain church to take the i~nitiatory steps
toward the permanent organization Of a
ladies' aid society. Besides the ladies
there were present Rev. r. f. Field,
Rev. Geo. c. Rafter, Father +. j.
Nugent, Rev. d. L. RAIDER, Judge j. w.
Fisher and other gentleman who were in
terested in the movement. On motion of
Dr.. Rafter, seconded by Father Nugent,
Judge j.. w. Fisher was chosen chair
mar of the meeting.
The object for which the meeting was
held was fully explained and there was
quite a free and full interchange of
opinions in regard to the question of an
aid society. A communication was re-
ceived from Mrs. Governor Warren, who
could not be present, expressing sympathy
with the movement and the objects sought
to be attained. The sentiment of the
meeting being unanimously in favor of
efiecting a permanent organization, it
was moved and carried that the chair ap-
point a committee consisting of n from
each church, as far as practicable, to
prepare and present at a future meeting a
constitution and bylaws for the govern
ment Of the society.
The chair appointed the following
named ladies as such a committee Ms.
L. Murrin, Catholic church; Mrs. f. B.
Graham, Presbyterian church; Mrs. d.
L. RAIDER. Methodist church; Mrs. T. A
Kent, Episcopal church; Mrs. w. NJ.
Mason, Congregational church. The
meeting then adjourned to meet at the
Congregational church April %, at ,
o'clock in the afternoon.

The unpleasant discovery has now been
made that in no event can Crook county
elect a member of the next legislature.
Under the act of congress by which the
last legislature was legalized, it was also
provided that an apportionment be made
by the governor, secretary, and territorial
auditor the LIST of September for the next
legislature, and such an apportionment is
to be made on the basis of the vote cast
in 1884. At that election Crook county
as such cast no vote, for it was not then
organized. 1t cast a small vote (l55) as
a part of Laramie county, but that was
all. Then again, the act of congress pro-
vides that the board shall apportion the
territory into council districts" but
says not a word about representative dis
%tricts, so that the board could not if it
desired, undertake to apportion the ter
ritory into districts for the election Of
representatives merely. The only way
Crook county will be liable to have a
spokesman in the next legislature is for
the board to attach Crook county to Lara
mic county as a part of the same council
district and then for both parties to nom
mate a Crook county man as one of the
councilmen, in which case he could Of
course, be elected. Under the circum-
stances, it would be wise for Crook county
not to do too much fault finding with
Cheyenne because it got the capitol.

The Republican State Ticket.

The HERALD stated several months
ago that the denomination of Gov. Rusk
was foregone conclusion, and such it
has been ever since until last Wednes-
day afternoon, when he was re-nomina-
ted by reclamation without the slightest
opposition. His popularity among the
people was such that he was nominated
q second time without competition, and
before the time for third nomination
arrived he had demonstrated his unusual
fitness for the executive of a great and
populous state On more than one crit
zeal and trying occasion he has shown
sound sense and fearless promptness.
No other governor in no other state has
received such universal and strong COM
mendation all over the Union. That he
will be elected by triumphant major
ity, including the votes of many Demo
Gratis, is as certain now as his re-nomin-
alton was six weeks ago
Ex-senator Ryland, who was nomin-
ated for Northumberland, is man
who is peculiarly fitted for the duties of
the position to which he will be elected,
as, during his two terms in the State
Senate he was frequently called upon to
preside over that body and always did
it with great credit to himself and salts
faction to the members. He is practi-
cal business man and is widely popular.

FOOD FRAUDS.
The Shameful Use of Lime and Alum
in Cheap Baking Powders.

Many food frauds, such rs chicory
coffee or watered milk, although they
are a swindle in commercial sense,
are often tolerated because they do not
particularly affect the health of the con-
sumner; but when an article like baking
powder, that enters largely into the food
of every family, and is relied upon for
the healthful preparation of almost
every meal, is so made as to carry
highly injurious. if not frankly poison
Gus, elements into the bread to the i'm
minent danger of the entire community
it is the duty of the press to denounee
the practicein the most emphatic terms.
Among recent important discoveries
by the food analysts is that by Prof.
Mott, the United States Government
Chemist, of large amounts of lime and
slum in the cheap baking powders.
These are, one the most dangerous, and
the other the most useless adulterants
yet found in the low-grade, inferior
baking powders. 1t is startling fact
that of over one hundred different
brands OF baking powders so far ana
lyzed. comprising all those sold in this
vicinity, not one of them, with the single
exception of the Royal Baking Powder,
WAS found free from both lime and alum.
The chief service of lime is to add
weight, 1t is true that lime, when sub
jected to heat, gives off a certain amount
of carbonic gas, but quick-lime is
left-a caustic SO powerful that it is
used by tanners to eat the hair from
hides of animals, and in dissecting
rooms to more quickly rot the flesh
from the bones of dead subjects. A
small quantity of dry lime upon the
tongue, or in the eye, produces painful
effects, how much more serious must
these effects be on the delicate men,
branes of the stomach, intestines and
kidneys, more particularly of infants
and children, and especially when the
lime is taken into the system day after
day, and with almost every meal. This
is said by physicians to be one of the
chief causes of indigestion, dyspepsia,
and those painful diseases of the kid
neys now so prevalent. Instances of
the most serious affections of the latter
organs from drinking lime water found

in some sections of the West are noted
in every medical journal.
Adulteration with lime is quite as
much 10 be dreaded as with alum,
which has heretofore received the most
emphatic condemnation from every food
analyst. physician and chemist, for the
reason that, while alum is probably par
TALLY dissolved and passed off in gas by
the heat of baking. it is impossible to
destroy or change the nature of the
lime in any degree, So that the entire
amount in the baking powder passes,
with all its injurious properties. into
the stomach. When we state that the
chemists have found twelve per cent or
one-eighth of the entire weight of some
samples of baking powder aualyzed. to

ton will be fully apparent.
Pure baking powders are one of the
chief aids to the cook in preparing per-
feet and wholesome food While those

reputation, like the Royal. of whose
purity there has never been and cannot
be a question, it is proper to avoid all

The Interstate Industrial Exposition,
OF Chicago,

Is now open for its Fourteenth Consecu-
tive Annual Exhibition. Like every
other good thing in the growing West,
it is larger, better and more important
in its main features than any which have
preceded it.
The display of processes Of manufac-
ture, including two exhibits of silk looms
in operation, and many other things of
attractive novelty in mechanism, has
never been surpassed.
The Art Halls are filled with choice
examples fresh from the studios of one
hundred and twenty-five prominent
American artists. Most every painting
is a gem, and all were selected by the
celebrated artist, Mr. VIM IL. Beard, of
New York
The Natural History Department in
cludes the entire collections of the Chi
cago Academy of Sciences, and those
collections include some of the most re-
markable specimens in the world. The
specimen of the ''hairy elephant, just
added and mounted, was discovered in
Spokane County, Washington Territory,
and has no rival in any of the grea
museums of Europe, unless it may be
one in St. Petersburg procured many
years ago in Siberia.

organization simply to amuse the public
or to enrich its stockholders, but rather
to educate and inform those who desire
to keep abreast of the progress of the
world in all the great lines of human ac-
tivity.
In 1885 the average daily paid attend

GOV. Rusk's Speech.

On making his appearance in the
convention Gov. RuSk was received
with deafening applause. He was in
troduced by Chairman Smith as the
next Governor of Wisconsin. and as a
man who never failed to do his duty.
Gov. Rusk then said:

made. or any tax collected, for the or

In putting in type the Republican
county ticket for the head of the HERALD
columns, the name of j. w. Murphy
for district attorney was inadvertently
omitted The fact that the HERALD
was the first paper to publish Mr.
Murphy's candidacy, and that it gave
him good notice at the time he was
nominated, is sufficient evidence that
the accidental omission was no indica-
ton of an intention not to support Mr..
Murphy, as some have assumed.
