COUNTY NEWS.

IN MemOriam.
A tribute to Mrs L. N Barnes, who died
n Danfor'h. Ircquois county, Feb. 81, 1883.
A precious one from US has gone,
A voice we loved IL stilled,
A place is vacant In our home;
Which never can be filed.
God in His wisdom has recalled
The boon His love has given,
And though her body molders here,
The soul is safe in heaven.
But her immortal spirit still
Seems lowering DER our way.
And reckoning with 9 loving smile
To realms of endless day.
Praise to the grace that held her hand
Mid waters dark and drsar,
That led her TO the better land
And hanished every fear.
Praise for the glorious victory given
For faith in Christ to save,
For foretaste Of the bliss of heaven,
For triumph DER the grave.

bogus Baking Powder Tests.

Rather ingenious but not less fraudulent
are the pretended tests of baking powder
being made 10 made in many Of our kitch
ems by agents who are trying TO further the
sale of Chicago article. These 30 called
tests consist In mixing separately, with
water, a sample of the baking powder
found In the house and of that carried by
the agent From that found In the house,
# a pure article. the bubbles of gas will
rise and | urst on top like those from a
glass OF champagne. The Chicago bak-
ing powder which they carry, when mixed
with water. will show An extra frOth upon
the top of the mixture which Is claimed as
evidence of superiority. On the contrary,
however, |, is NOT only the exhibition of n
track, but Is absolute proof that the baking
powdpr which So acts Is adulterated. The
chemists have ascertained that the adulter.
ant used Is a chemical added for the ex
press purpose of producing this cotton and
tieceiving housekeepers AS to the true
value of the baking powder This Is not
only dishonest trick, but dirty one. for
The chemical is the product of the hlthy
refuse of tha slaughter horse, and II this
ha.ing powder Is used In the preparation
Of food passes into the biscuit or cake
without charge. Of course, any statements
reference t. other taking powders, by par
ties caught in practising snch tricks Ms
these for The rurprse 1T dtcriving the
public, will h- entitled +" no credit.
II Is probably wise.t in the interest at
our families, and to prevsnt our food from
being contaminated 10y tramps of this kind

ramp.r with II uncerimoniously from 'he
door and 10 use those articles only which

TIE RAILROAD WORLD.
The Lumber Rates.

At IL o'clock yesterday forenoon
committee of the Minneapolis lumber
men met in Minneapolis, with A. c.
Bird, general freight agent of the Mil
waukee IL st. Paul road, and j. G. Boy
den, the northwestern agent of the same
road, to discuss the lumber rate situa-
ton. The Minneapolis lumbermen
claim that the Wisconsin manufacturers
have been given rate into that city
that is dispropOrtiOnate and enables
them to compete for western points to
the disadvantage of the Minneapolis
mill men. The conference referred
particularly to the points reached by
the Milwaukee Il st. Paul road, on the
Hastings and Dakota division. 1t was
asserted that the stock of lumber on
hand at Minneapolis is 230, 900 feet,
and this the railroad men claimed
was { more than the COM
bined stock at Wausau, Merrill,
La Crosse and Eau Claire. At the close
of the season the stock at Minneapolis
will be about 800, 000,0 900 feet. The rail-
5roadmen argued that with this as the
situation the Milwaukee IL st. Paul
road twas as much interested in the
Minneapolis business as it was in the
Wisconsin trade. They also claimed
that much smaller proportion of the
lumber traffic to Tasting and Dakota
points came from Wisconsin than had
been supposed by the local dealers, and
that 45 per cent originated at Minneap-
oils and only 8 per cent at Wisconsin
points. The matter was discussed, but
no conclusion was reached. 1t is eX-
peetbd that the committee will confer
with other roads and that some plan
will be reached to remove the cause of
complaint.

Ninth Ward.

The primaries in the Ninth ward
were as quiet as they were one sided.
Three tickets were IN the field, the one
with the name of Albert W. Wentink
for sheriff being divided. Five names
were polled for in the Third, Fourth,
Sixth and Seventh precincts polling
place, and four in the First, Second
and Filth. OF the other two tickets, one
headed by John F. Gehan was made up
in the interest of Walsh, for judge of
probate, and the other was labor
ticket. Some arrangement was
made whereby the latter withdrew
early in the contest. leaving the Gehan
ticket practically without opposition.
1t received 73S votes, the latter ticket
96 and the third one l02. The following
is the delegation: John f. Gehan,
William f. Bremen, Dennis Sullivan,
John NJ. Mcclellan, John Fischer, Ed
ward Murphy. Nicholas Pottgieser, L.
J. Brady, Thomas Grogan. As before
mentioned, the delegation is for Walsh
for probate Judge, but goes to the con-
vention unpledged for any other can
didate for office.
In the Tenth ward l.. E. Bennett and
Alexander Adams were chosen dele
gates.
Fred Bermane and Frank SterretT
were elected from the Eleventh ward.
j. MelrOSe is the delegate from White
Rear.

Sixth Ward.

Harmony prevailed at the primaries
in the Sixth ward last night. There
were two voting precincts, the ward be-
ing divided by Custer street and Liv-
ingston avenue. The lower, or ''fiat
precinct, had its voting place at lbs
Dakota avenue, little one-stOry build
ing alternately used for political pur-
poses and a coal and wood office.
The upper, or 'hilP' precinct,
utilized the Ducas street police
sub-station. AT both polling places the
same tickets were used. There were
three in the field, the regular ticket
containing the following names. for
delegates to the convention tomorrow:
Z. H. Lienau, J. E; Brady, Fred Guion.
NJ. Goldberg, Z. r. Greenwood, Adam
Helm, Andrew Scheltz, j. Maher, John
Norman.
An opposition ticket headed, "For
sheriff, Albert w. Wentink," contained
the names of A. l.. Graves. l.. M. Will
helmy, Henry Kuehne, Adam Helm.
1t received but s votes at the upper
voting place. and at the lower district
disappeared from the field shortly after
the polls opened, having 81 votes. A
third ticket contained G. w. GuiOn,
George DufOur, Fred GuiOn and NJ.
Deroche for delegates. At the upper
voting place it received IS votes, and at
the lower 20 votes. The regular ticket
polled 252 votes at the Dakota avenue
voting places, while at the Ducas street
station it received 32l votes.
The complexion of the nine delegates
elected is said to be solid for r. A.
Walsh for judge of the probate court.
They also favor William A. Van Slyke
for register of deeds, and Michael f.
Kahn for auditor. For the Office of treas
urer they are divided between any num-
Der of names proposed and not men
toned, while Tor representatives they
are non-committal. if they have prefer
ences. Five out of the nine are in favor
of Billy Haupt, captain of the Margare
StIeet police Sub-station, whose candi-
dacy was only announced Wednesday
night when it became positively known
that Chief John J. Clark would posi-
lively not be a candidate for the Office
of sheriff. The remaining two are for
George Moeller. While a great deal of
interest was manifested in the outcome
of the primaries. everything was very
quietly transacted at both districts.

Chips from the Ties.

The Northwestern Passenger association
has adopted a resolution which declares that
no advertising arrangements with theatrical
companies, base ball clubs, or any similar
organizations, will be permitted, and that
any method which cuts regular tariff or
agreed rates is violation of the agreement.
A new side track known as "Oden" has
been constructed on the Idaho division,
1.46l miles west from St. Paul. The station
of stampede" on the Cascade division has
been discontinued. Freight to these points
must be prepaid.
1t is not expected that the Eastern Mime
sofa will run passenger trains before next
spring. This road is now running one regu-
lBr freight train each way daily, and is doing
good business.
Col. Lamborn will leave to-day for the Pa
cific coast TO be gone about six weeks. He
will be accompanied by K. W. Peet, Lane X.
