the thought struck him that, if some one
would bet with him, he might attain the de-

by an Irishman, told him his plight saying he
wanted to make bet "All right" said the
bartender, who had just purchased ham.
"Ill bet you 81 80 that you can't carry
this ham across the street and back without
laying it down" The bet was promptly &C.
c,pted. and the actor seized the ham by the
string, walked across the street and back
and laid the ham on the floor you've lost
said the irishman, You've laid it down, -
but here comes friend of mine and you can
get even. The friend readily bit at the bait
and seized the ham, walked across the street

the stakes. It's not known whether the ac-

The sidewalk which has just been COM

There 10 no article of food more gener-
ally consumed than wheat hoar in its various
forms of bread and pastry, but chemists BY
examination find that by its use, mankind
loses two-thirds of the elements that go to
make up bone and muscle. These vital
elements are the phosphates which are ab-
solutely necessary for the maintenance OF
health, and which nature has provided i'll
the wheat grain, but man has removed from
the -four in the process Of boiling. 1t was
this fact that suggested the invention OF
Prof. Horsford of his preparation as bak
ing powder that would add these nutritious
phosphates, and thereby supply the deicienc,
in the flour. In place of the alum, cream
tartar, etc, used in common baking powders
he produced an acid phosphate, and thus
makes 3 baking powder which not onl,
raises the dough, but leaves in the bread the
vital phosphates of which the flour has
been deprived. septlld&wlm

Who are the Dead Mans Heirs ?

The following story may result in the be-
tray al of a scheme to gain dead mans
money by falsely swearing relationships
1t is reported from Lewiston that several
lived there and from there went into the
west. From all that can be learned, he was
shot and killed i'll kimball, Nebraska, two
years ago leaving quite lot of property,
over which no administrators have ever been
"pponted. Sheriff Smith has received a
message from an attorney in kimball Neb.,
'nquirng after heirs of VIM. .. Rogers, and
seeking an affidavit from the Probate Court
of Androscoggin County, as to who the heirs
of the dead man are. 1t is thought by the
Nebraska lawyer that the father and mother
of Rogers live in Lewiston, and that he also
had / married sister named Mrs l.. G.. Rus
sell. brother of VIM. o. Rogers is out
there, but some of the attorneys want to find
out if the deceased had no: other legal heirs
The matter is now in the courts. People in
Augusta acquainted with the matter are of
the opinion that this report relates to a form
er Augusta gentleman whose father, Mr.. w.
.. Rogers, now resides near Belgrade depot.
This Rogers formerly studied law in the
office of Baker & Cornish of this city, leav-
ing for the west some five years ago. Hi,
name corresponds with the one given above,
and the date of his killing in the west is
identical with that of the man mentioned in
the report. But it is said that the Augusta
Rogers had no sister by the name of Russell.
His folks learned that after settling up the
dead mans affairs there was nothing lit.
They propose, however, to investigate the
matter Thoroughly. There is possibility that
the Rogers mentioned in the report and the
one who formerly resided in Augusta are the
same. There is also a possibility that the
persons passing themselves off for relatives
of the dead man may be imposters.
