Al COmprOmfse Decision,

Saturday afternoon Judge Pickett, in the civil side of the City court, rendered 8 de-
 cision in the case of Hall, Baker & Bowman,
 shoe manufacturers of Syracuse, N. Y., vs.
 M Dillon. the Church street shoe dealer.
 The suit was to recover $176.5 50 on bill of
 goods that Dillon said were not as represent ed. He returned the goods February 9,1888,
 but the firm refused to take them back, as they said he returned goods purchased at various times and they were not all of the same lot that he said were defective. MT. Dillon would not take them back either. Judge Pickett decided that Mir. Dillon must pay the bill, but that the amount of the goods which he ordered after February 9th, 1887, could be deducted from it, that is MT.
 Dillon must keep all the goods ordered before then and the firm must take back all goods ordered after. Attorney Harry Asher ap- peared for the plaintiffs and Judge Blyden- burgh for the defendant. Both sides are satisfied.

Pierce, John and Martin Jackson,
miners who work on a range about
two miles northwest from town, made
startling and shocking discovery on
Tuesday afternoon. John went down
into an old shaft about twenty feet
deep to see if it would pay to clear it
up and work it. On reaching the
bottom he found in the mouth of the
drift a market basket containg the
dead body of a male child, which was
apparently from three days to two
weeks old and had lain in the shaft
only a few hours. The back of the
child's head had been crushed in by a
blow, from which death resulted. The
body was wrapped in a boys white
shirt, and stitched up in a piece of
gingham. The Jacksons on finding
the body Immediately notified DR.. W.
L. Tallman, who, together with Justice
J. W. Horn and deputy sheriff Samuel
Simms, went out and brought in the
basket and contents, and an inquest
was held in the evening. On Wednes-
day district attorney Aldro jerks
came over from Dodgeville, to inves-
tigate the matter, and to take the steps
necessary to call the guilty parties to
account. The mystery which sur
rounds this most shocking and re-
voting crime should be solved if pos
sible. Any person having any clew
which might lead to the conviction OF
the fiends who perpetrated it should
communicate what information they
can to the officers. Nothing which
might help them to clear up the dark
ness surrounding the crime should be
kept hidden. The keeping of such
information secret really makes one
accessory to the crime.

Bitters as the very best remedy. Every
bottle sold has given relief in every
case. One man took six bottles, and
was cured of rheumatism of 10 years
standing" Abraham Hare, druggist,
Bellville, Ohio, af1irms: "The best
selling medicine l have ever handled
in my 20 years experience, is Electric
Bitters." Thousands of others have
added their testimony, so that the
verdict is unanimous that Electric
Bitters do cure all diseases of the
Liver, Kidneys or Blood. Only half

The Danger Before Us.

W e nave already dluueu W Ile III
portance of housekeepers paying more
attention to the kind of baking powder
used in leavening their bread. This is
a matter to which we cannot draw at
tention too often, because it is some
thing which involves the most serious
consequences to the general body of
mankind. Temperance apostles tell
us-and there is ample foundation for
the statement-that there is disease
both moral and physical in the intox-
icating cup; and in the same way there
is disease, slow perhaps, but certain,
in the lime and alum leavening agents
employed in many of the homes on this
continent.
No punishment is too severe for
those manufacturers who place these
poisonous alum and lime baking
powders before the public with the
assurance that they are pure and whole
some articles. In the belief of the
truth of such statements such baking
powders are largely used in the pre-
paration of food, and in this way the
poisonous ingredients are taken into
the system without a suspicion of their
presence. BY and by comes spells of
headache, distress in the stomach, loss
of appetite, a futtering of the heart: the
child is seized with an apparently cause
less cough. The coating of the stomach
is destroyed, perhaps; one of the vital
organs is rendered almost useless; the
kidneys are attacked with Bright's
disease. The health of the child is
irreparably broken down; the adult
becomes a chronic invalid. These are
the doings of the modern cheap baking
powders that are composed of lime and
alum, or that contains sulphuric or
phosphate acids.
In view of these facts, surely all
housewives should exercise the care
that is, we know, now exercised by
some in the selection of proper
brand of baking powder. She who
does not do 50, whether the neglect is
the result of ignorance or reckless
Ior.oalf hn
sponsibility for the health, perhaps
life, thereby endangered. No house
wife need be ignorant Of the quality
and composition of the article which
she uses to leaven her bread, biscuit
and cake. The official reports of the
government chemists, who are
certainly unprejudiced, have been pub
lished and show very clearly the quail
ity and strength of all the baking
powders in the market. The Royal
Baking Powder, which is accessible at
every hand, is reported absolutely free
from lime, alum, phosphate acid, or
any injurious ingredient. 1t is further
stated by the most eminent authorities
on food hygiene that food leavened
with it is more wholesome than when
raised by any other method. Its use
is therefore to be commended. 1t is
to be regretted that no other baking
powder, when there are so many in the
market, some of which will find their
way into use, is free from all of these
substances. The official analysts as
sure us, however, that all except the
Royal contain either lime or alum.
The housekeeper who regards the
health of her loved ones should not
only order the Royal, but make per-
sonal examination to be sure that no
other brand is sent her in its place.
