The Price Baking Powder Company, in
advertising their yeast powder, publish a
relative comparison of the strength and
merits of various yeast powders. and in
said list Eureka" Yeast Powder is classed
as an "alum powder" The undersigned
desires to state that this cannot refer to
GooDwYN's EUREKA YEAST POWDER, which
is isabsolutely pure and free from alum. This
statement is made for the benefit of my

Breckenridge starks Captured.

On the first day of this month
Sheriff J. Kemp, Jr., succeeded In
arresting Breckenridge Starks, who
has been in hiding for over four
years, for the killing of his cousin
John Starks. The fugitive has
been in Grant parish the most of
the time since the killing with the
exception of a short time spent in
Texas, and is said to have made
two crops in Grant parish.
Some time since Sheriff Kemp
intimated to us that he expected to
try his hand ON little hunt for
Breckenridge. SO, without a word
to anybody but Mr.. P. w. Lotion,
who left Colfax with him, he made
a roundabout tour, and arrived In
the neighborhood where Starks was
supposed to be located. Here he
was reinforced by Messrs. Mathew
Nugent, J., E. Nugent and John
Smith. The party made drive
through the woods, and found a
camp house that had evidently been
occupied a long time, and was sus-
piciously lonesome and hidden
away from the outside world. Lay
ing their plans, the party agreed
on signals and course of action,
and, surrounding the hut at night,
they awaited daylight and success
fully bagged their man.
Our sheriff is young in the bus
mess, but the people of Grant par
ish are already beginning to feel
proud of him. We predict that the
clear head and steady hand that has
won him laurels of late viii con-
tinue to hold him up as a most eff
ficient officer.

had to stay until the tide came up and fioated
her off,
Meanwhile on the Yantic, which lay at the
ordnance dock, the same preparations were
going on. Her gear was all carefully slowed,
and when the signal was run up to the Ga.

soon as the flagship had swung out into the
stream and signaled her to follow.
Meanwhile the navy yard tugs were work.
