Home Testimony
From
George H. Kalteyer
CHEMIST,

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, July l, 1885.
I purchased IN this city package OF Prof.
Horsford's Self Raising Bread Preparation
and submitted it to chemical examination,
and find that the same is composed Of pure
and nOn-pOisOnous chemicals.
The idea OF Prof. HoTsfOrd was indeed a
grand one in supplanting the indigestible tar
tarate of soda, which is always the end result
of all Baking Powders composed of Cream of
Tartar and Soda, by the soluble phosphate of
lime and soda, the very nutritive value of
bread, and the bone-producing elements of
nature.
1t is certainly the best and most healthy
bread-raising preparation ever offered to the
public, and every mother that has the health
of her children at heart should use no other.
can only join in the endorsement given by
the late celebrated chemist, Prof. Baron V.
Licbig, to this preparation in saying: 81 con-
slider this invention as one of the most useful
gifts which science has made to mankind"
For Sale by all Grocers. Try It.

The Express expresses hope for the
reform measures Of the democratic club
becoming potent In purifying local poll
tics, which 1t likens to the hope of the
Irishman in the hOd who was being car
rird by n fellow laborcr to the fifth story
OF the building. The genuine Celt, who
was being.carriGd skywards on bet, re
marked as he emerged safe at the top,
dennis, We won 1t fairly, but when yure
foot thripped as ye turned the scafiOld to
the fifth tory had hopes" Does this
mean that the Express hopes that the
democratic club will trip up on reform
as 1t makes its last turn towards the
polls?
The Austin papers are very anxious
that Charles Ogden, Esq, Of this city,
should shy his castor into the congress
sional ring and allow his name TO go be-
fore the people as their candidate, three
short weeks before the election. The
hard horse sense, business ability and
unquestiOned fitness for the Office pos
sessed by Mr.. Ogden are pretty sure
guarantees that he will not accept the
nomination at this late day. Were he
so Inclined we imagine he would be
deferred by the absolutely disorganized
condition o; the republican party in his
own county, and the impossibility OF
getting it into working order in time to
make an impression before election.
Fusion has killed BeXar county republi-
can prospects this innings. viii it be
fusion again next innings? Who knows?
The Times feels good over the pOliti-
cal situation in BeXar. Why shouldn't
it? 1t has got the ring on its string, the
democratic fusiOnists on the inside of
the ring and the republican fusiOnists
on the outside. The LIGHT is not kick
ing. The LIGHT said its say in the re-
publican convention for straight nom
inatiOn and got laid out cold by fusion.
The LIGHT has sense enough to know
when it is slaughtered, and is now sim
ply waiting to see the fusiOnists hoist by
their own petard. The LIGHT hates fu-
sion; never said otherwise, never felt
otherwise.

Gas Consumers.

On and after April / the price of gas
will be reduced fifty (50) cents per 1000
feet, making the net price So per 1000
feet on all bills paid before the 10th of the
month.
In short time the company will have
completed its auxiliary plant by which the
Illuminating power of the gas will be greatly
Increased, 50 much 50 that it will be equiv
alent to further reduction in cost TO the
consumer OF at least Is per cent. by reason of
having TO use a less quantity of gas to
obtain the same amount of light. In this
connection we call the attention of mer-
chants now using oil to the advantages Of
gas as an advertising medium. A poorly
lighted store, by its gloom and unpleasant
odOr, repels custom. while a brightly
lighted store attracts custom. Successful
merchants of all the large cities of the
country use gas TO an extent hardly thought
of in ST. Paul. AT the reduced price which
is now offered, there is no reason why
every store in st. Paul should not
use gas. 1t Is nearly as cheap
and far safer than oil and much cheaper
than the electric light. To those who de-
sire the electric light we will add that we
have just completed, at a cost of over
500. 00O. and are now operating one Of the
".
and are prepared TO furnish the arc lights
without limit, and within thirty 500 DAYS
we will also be prepared TO supply Gus
toners with the incandescent electric light
of any candle-power required. 1t is the
endeayor of this company to cheaper to
the consumer the cost of light whether gas
or electric as rapidly as the business will
warrant and an increased number of custom
ers will go great ways towards securing
further reduction in price.
We would also call the attention of con-
sumers to the economy and desirability Of
gas for cooking purposes. Gas al So is as
cheap as anthracite coal at $3.50 per ton.
and superior in every way. There is no
dirt, ashes or labor, the fire is always ready
and the stoves manufactured at present are
in every way equal to the ordinary cooking
range. We shall have on hand samples of
stoves and would request their examination.
We Will give purchasers full benefit of dis
counts given as by the trade.

AN EVENINGS FIRES.
Fiske, Turner g. Co. Da mayed in the
wilder BIOck-Other FslaZes.

An alarm of fire from box "a at $50 last
night called the department to the Wilder
block, No. 1S5 East Fourth street. The
fire was found to be in the sixth story of
building, which was occupied by Fiske,
Turner 81 Co., manufacturers and jobbers
of pants. The front portion of the upper
floor is divided into compartments and the
tiremen found great difficulty in making
their way to the seat of the fire on account
of the smoke: The blaze originated at the
trimming table of the manufacturing room
and quickly spread to the large piles
of baled goods and partly-com-
pleted garments. The damage to
the building will not exceed $50.
the flames being eXtinguished chiefly
through the agency of the chemical engines
and without the use of much water. Mr.
Fiske stated last night that the firm had
about $4,000 worth of stock and ma
chnery. on which there was an insurance
Of $40, 500. which was about equally placed
with Rogers Bros. and w. G. Strickland
He could not estimate the damage. as it
was impossible from a cursory examination
to tell what injury the chemicals and smoke
had done to the goods and the twenty sew
ing machines in the room. A large num-
Der of finished and partly completed pants,
pitched from the windows, and
until a systematic inspection could
be taken the loss could not be approx
mated. He thought the loss would not
exceed the insurance. Fiske, Turner &
Co. are new firm, having begun business
about six months ago. and employed about
thirty hands. mostly girls. The origin of
the fire is unknown. and when the opera
tives closed at o'clock everything APP
peared to he all right.
SEVERAL OTHERS.
AT 6:55 box 90 was turned in for two
burning barns-one on Hopkins street and
the other in the rear of $40 Collins street.
The first is owned by Grace church and the
latter by Thomas Brendan. Both blazes
were eXtinguished with trifllng damage TO
the buildings, and the origin of each VAS
ncendiary.
Shortly after o'clock box 221 was
sounded, but the fire was confined to the
chimney of two storey frame dwelling
owned and occupied by c. Meyer corner of
Seventh street and Bates avenue. There
was no loss.
