LAST WEARS CHAMPIONs
Downed by the wheeling Team-Generu
Ball News,

DoWneu by tho wheeling Iehm-OeheFlA
Ball News.
Wheeling's ball team continues to
keep up its winning pace. Yesterday
it met the Kalamazoo team for the first
time this season, and defeated it by
score Of o to /. Notwithstanding that
it threatened to rain, about 800 people
made their way to Island parl; and
braved the thick clouds Of dust and
dashes Of rain that swept over the
grounds during the progress OF the
game.
While Kalamazoo holds the Ohio
League pennant OF last year, judging
from the work Of the men yesterday,
this years team is not the equal of last
years by considerable. Wheeling has
on herrostert he.names of three or four OF
the most valuable men Kalamazoo had
last year and there are others missing
from the visitors ranks. Still Kalamazoo
has agood average team and is almost Ger.
tain TO finish the race up with the first
five clubs. In yesterdays game they ran
up against one OF abe strongest combina-
tiOns Wheeling can turn out. Knauss
was in the box and his curves were so
perplexing that u total OF five
bases were all the Zuloos were
able to make off him. The other end OF
the combination was Wheeling's batting
ability, which was in good working order
yesterday, as attested by the three home
runs that were made by Dclehanty, Sta
pleton and Stephens. Aldrich, the Wis
itors' strong left-hander was in the box
and pitched good game, but the home
boys were i'll hitting mood and they
banged him around with the utmost
familiarity. The poor work OF Riley,
who played short for Kalamazoo, assist
ed the home team very materially in
making three or four OF its runs.
The one run made by Kalamazoo was
done as follows: Riley, the first man at
bat, got his base on five balls, was ad-
vanced to second by Daily's hit and put
out at first, and came home on n two
Dagger by Dwyer. Dryer made a Won
derful running catch Of a terribly swift
bull from Brodie's bat in the sixth that
was one OF the brilliant features OF the
game. Wheeling's fielding was sharp
and decisive all around. The heavy
wind that was blowing during u greater
portion OF the game and the dust, made
it hard work for the pitchers and difficult
for the fielders to properly gauge high
flies. The two double plays that appear
to Wheeling's credit were as neatly
made as anything ever seen on the
grounds.

CoupterfeItIng a baking Powder.

The public is too well informed rs to
the danger from alum baking powders to
need any caution against using them.
1t is, nevertheless, u fact that many OF
our most prudent and careful house
keepers are, without knowing it, using
these deleterious articles daily, and from
them preparing for their families food
which, were they aware OF its nature,
they would not offer to a beggar. Bak-
ing powders made from burnt alum cost
less than four cents n pound. When
these can be worked off in place OF the
Royal Baking Powder, and sold for forty
or fifty cents a pound, there are many
manufacturers and dealers sufficiently
INSCRIPTIONS to do it.
A iavorite method OF selling these
poisonous alum baking powders is by
placing them in an empty Royal Baking
Powder can and weighing them out in
small quantities When the Royal Baking
Powder is called for by customers. The
grocer, il questioned, claims that he
buys in large packages at a lower rate,
and is thus able to sell below the price
OF the goods in small cans. All baking
powders sold in this way are entitled to
suspicion. Analyses Of many Of them
have been made with view to pros
ecutiOn, and in all cases they have been
found largely adulterated and generally
made from poisonous burnt alum. This
is selling counterfeit goods, and is. Of
course, an offense against the law. We
are glad to know that the Royal Baking
Powder Company have taken the matter
in hand, and are acting in away that
will protect the public from the swindle.
The surest protection from this fraud
is for the housekeeper to buy the baking
powder OF the brand she wishes in the
original unbroken package, looking care
fully to see that the label has not been
tempered with. The Royal Baking
Powder Company announce, what is
well known, that their goods are packed
for the convenience OF consumers in
cans OF various sizes, but are never sold
in bulk, by the barrel or loose by weight
or measure. The cans are securely
sealed with the company's trade mark
label, and the weight OF each package
stamped on the cover. Any baking
powder being peddled out by weight
under the name Of Royal,they denounce
as bogus and to be avoided.
Consumers should bear these facts in
mind if they do not wish to have i'm
posed upon them the poisonous alum
stuff that is being profusely distributed
throughout the country under the name
OF baking powder. II, however, they
buy the Royal in cans with unbroken 10
bells, they are always sure of using q
baking powder perfectly pure and
wholesome, and Of the highest test,
strength and efficiency.

About 10 o'clock last night the At
lantic fire company was called to the
corner OF Jacob and Nineteenth streets
by a still alarm. A double two and n
half story brick house standing on the
corner, the property OF William J. Bod
Icy, occupied by two or three families,
was on fire in the garrett. The fire start
ed in the eastern half, presumably from
a defective flue, and had made consider
able Roadway before it was discovered.
II is reported that IN effort was made to
send in an alarm from box "a, Mt the
Hinge factory, but that it would not
work, and then still alarm was sent in.
The three full paid men OF the engine
company, with what assistance they had
from outsiders, had to work nearly an
hour before the fire was entirely out,
and at one time it looked as though a
general alarm would have to be sound
ed. The damage to the property is
small, not over 500.

Shortly after noon yesterday the dead
body of IN unknown man was found at

THE NEED OF RAIN
For tho crOps-wheat will mot pan out.
What an Ohio Farmer Says.

What an Ohio Farmer Says.
Mr.. Geo. P. Clark, of Mt. Pleasant, O., a
well known farmer OF that region, informs
the IxTRLLIoRNcERthat as the wheat looks
to-day it does not promise more than a
quarter Of crop. Timely rains, now
very much needed, may bring it up to a
half crop. but this even is doubtful on
account OF the large area Of winter
killed fields. Many ofthese fields have
been plowed up and sown TO oats, while
other fields will be put in corn, Of both
Of which an unusually large breadth will
be planted this spring.
Mr.. Clark also says that the grass is
very backward and greatly in need OF
rain. Fruit prospects as regards apples,
peaches, plums, pears, &C., are fairly
good, particularly SO for apples, but the
early cherries have been mostly killed.
From Mr.. Samuel Albright, Of Halls
Mills, Wetzel county, it is learned that
wheat in that region and below lin
Tyler promises an average crop, and
that fruit looks well. A large crop oil
corn will be put in. There is still d
good deal of both old corn and wheat in
the hands of farmers. The former is
worth 90 cents and the latter so ut the
railroad,

TnE Il ( 0. CHANGES.
Tho New Schedule Running With Unusuai
gmOothnoss.


Everything is moving smoothly on
the Baltimore & Ohio under the sum
mer schedule which went into effect
Sunday morning. Thus far all trains
running in and out OF Wheeling have
been on time-something unusual after
such anumber Of changes have been
made in q schedule as were made by the
Baltimore & Ohio this time. The
through train from Philadelphia and
Baltimore to Chicago passed through
here ut 1920 inthe morning, coming via
Pittsburgh, and the train from Chicago
to the East, by the same route, passing
through here at 6:20 in the evening, are
novelties which a number OF citizens
have called at the depot to see. They
are made up of the best and newest cars
and have elegant buffet sleeping coaches
attached, aud are usually well filled.
The need of new depot here and oil
more practical route from the river
back to the tunnel, is forcibly DEM
onstrated when these through trains,
especially the one from Chicago in the
evening, pass through here. The even
ing train has TO buck and switch around
till those not acquainted with the situa-
ton scarcely know whether they are
coming or going. Then after things are
Strengthened ont the heavy train has to
make u great racket in order to climb up
the Sixteenth street grade. 1t would
be q splendid thing for the city, the
railroad company and the pubic ut large,
il the city and company could arrive at
some understanding which would en-
able the company to carry out its long
cherished plan OF building u new and
handsome station here and establish
new works and yards. This would in
volve mn outlay OF about $780, 900, and a
northern approach to this end OF the
Bcllaire bridge would follow these de-
sirable improvements.
