The Public WIN Appreciate It.

fEEtE
The public are indepted to the Roy
Il Baking Powder Company not
more for having perfected and pre-
pared q leavening agent that is pure
and wholesome beyond q question
than for lie exposures, 80 boldly
made, Of the numerous impure,
adulterAtnd and injurious articles
that arc sold under the name Of bak-
ing powders, bread preparations, etc.
throughout the country. In maxi
ing these exposures the company
has, Of course, made itself the target
for Ill sorts of .counter attacks, but
the animus Of these attacks has
been perfectly understood by the
general public, and by their very
virulence have served to more prone
inentlY call the attention TO the
good work Of the Royal Company.
Ordinary adulterations such as
arc fund In coffee, spices, etc. al
though they ore swindlee in q COM
mercial sense, are often tolerated be.
cause they do not particularly affect
the health Of the consumer. But
when an article like baking powder,
that il relied upon for the healthful
preparation Of almost every meal, is
- made 40 to carry highly iniuri-
Gus II not rankly poisonous elements
into our daily food, it ia the duty Of
She public authorities to take cogni-
xanOe Ut il.
In this fight for pure food made
by the "Royal" Company, it is to be
noticed that the most scientific au-
thofities 1 emphatically upon its
side. In all the contests Of this
company with the alum and other
impure baking powders the result
has proved TINT every statement
made BY the Royal Baking Powder
Company, both as to the purity 81
it, own and the adulteration Of 9TH
or baking powders Of the market,
MAS fully authorized by the most
competent chemical and medical
authorities Of the country.
In this contest two facts have
been pretty conclusively settled in
the minds Of the public-the first
ii that the Royal Company has
found the means, and uses them, Ia
make q chemically pure article Of
food; and the other that the market
ID full Of poisonous, alum and other
adulterated baking powders which,

FLOOD AND STO RNH.
DestttutiOn Wrought by the West
Virginia Deluge.

PARKERsBURG, w. Va.-July 25.-
News, received today for the first time
since the food, from the West Fork and
Henry Fork, gives sad story of wreck
and ruin. Every store from the head to
the mouth of the forks, is gone or ruined
Houses, fences and crops we're washed
away and several lives were lost.
Couriers from Tygart bring long list of
houses and property, bridges and cul-
verts that are gone. The list which
embraces every farm on the creek
is too long to enumerate. To tell the
story briefly, it can be stated that not a
single farmer or resident escaped dam
age. Hundreds are bankrupt and will
have to be supported temporarily by the
county. The Commissioners TODAY esti-
mate the loss in Lee. Tygart. Hate and
Steel counties, at half million dollars.
AT Salisbury not a single house or bridge
stands on it's foundation, and many peo-
pie are in the woods. The Mayor of
Parkersburg has issued an order for a
meeting of citizens tomorrow to render
assistance to the homeless.
THE KANSAS INUNDATIoN.
FREDoNrA, Kan, July 25.-The water
in the flooded Fall river bottoms here is
rising two inches an hour. The river in
places is seven miles wide, and the water
twenty feet deep. A heavy iron wagon
bridge, after standing fifteen years,
went down last night, leaving
only two railroad bridges stand
ing in the neighborhood. The flood
is within quarter of mile of the city.
A relief party has been organized, and
works day and night. Some families,
slow to move, are surrounded, and are
being rescued as fast as possible. No
deaths have been reported, although a
few persons are missing. There have
been no mails here for two days, and
telegraph wires are operated with diff
Guilty. The weather indicates more rain.

vicinity this afternoon did great damage.
Several buildings were demolished. AT
Anoka the most terrific thunder and
rainstorm known in years was expert

the surrounding country.
MINNEAPOLIS, July 25.-The TribuYe's
special from New Prague, Minn., says
A tornado 200 feet wide passed half
nile west of here this afternoon. One
house and five wheat-laden railroad cars
we're destroyed. Crops in the path of

THE man who wrongs woman the
lesst possible thing for him to do is to
care for her in her distress and to help in
her maintenance. Men are bat men,
and flesh is weak and subject to tempta.
ton. But the callous villain who wrongs
a woman and then abandons her in her
misery is not worthy the name OF man
He puts himself on the low level of the
male brute, which cares little for it's
mate and lees for its offspring. The
man who initiates the example of the
scriptural head of our race, and when
confronted with wrong doing, basely
turns and throws the blame on the
woman, ought to be treated as Adam
was, and driven from the presence oi
men, as he was scourged from Paradise.
Such case has been developed in Los
Angeles. The craven, csllous wretch g
infamous delivery appears. in the local
columns of the HERALD. Shame! Ten
thousand shames on him who SO forgets
his manhood

THE Times, in it's Issue of yesterday,
comes out flat-footedly against the sewer
bond proposition. For a long time the
HERALD was the only Los Angeles jour
nal that had the courage to see two sides
to this question. The Fort street journal
summarizes it's objections in the follow
ing terms:
o. Its excessive cost over other sys-
TENS equally effective.
(2.) The objections on the part of sea
side communities.
49, The necessity of purchasing, at
an exorbitant price, tract of worthless
land at the outfall.
a. The wastefulness of the system
on the route proposed.
o. The danger of injunction suits in
the future.
(6) The risk Of defeating toe entire
scheme for a sewer system, by submit.
ting to the people proposition Involving
an Objectionable plan.
Undoubtedly substantially these object
ions will determine many citizens to vote
against the sewer bonds. Our contem-
porary next proceeds to outline points
which should prevail in the derising of
a proper system, which have been repeat
edly presented in the HERALD.

The Fort Worth,s Cut.

DENVER, July 25.-It is announced that
the Denver, Texas and Fort Worth road
will tomorrow announce a reduction of
Is cents per hundred on first.c class freight
from Denver to New York and the At
lantic seaboard, via Galveston and the
Gulf of Mexico. It is also announced
that further reduction of 4 cents will be
made within a few days, making total
reduction of 90 cents. Arrangements
are also being made to extend this
reduced seaboard rate to Utah, Montana
and all Northwest points. The action of
the Fort Worth is causing no little con-
sternation among the Western Trunk
Lines, and several conferences of the rail.
road officials of this city were held today.
Much speculation is also made as to the
effect this cut will have upon western
freight traffic, and principally upon the
lake and canal rates.

The only point We can see in the En-
press's long article of yesterday is the
assumption that the sewage of Los An
geles cannot be delivered on route
which shall substantially be that of the
Los Angeles river. AS we have repeat
edly shown that it can, and as that
prime fact has been ascertained as the
result of elaborate surveys, and as City
Engineer Eaton's original and favorite
plan of city sewage farm was based
upon the acquisition of land in that d.
rection, we beg to dismiss the Express s
labored article as unworthy of serious
attention.

little children and sister-in-law, tried to
cross the railroad tracks in wagon at
Elwood's Crossing, few miles west of
Washington, today. The vehicle was
struck by train. Mrs. Ir : in was thrown
under the wheels end the train of ten

The Canadian Cable.

OTTAWA, Ont. July 25 Application is
being made to the Government to guar
antee the bonds of the Canadian Gable
Company to the extent Of half million
of dollars. The total capital required is
81, 100000. Bobell of Quebec, has al
ready secured $3.50 900 of this in England
by private subscription, and will return
there shortly to raise this sum to $780,
600. Then, with the Dominion guaran-
tee, he will place 81 ,000, 900 in the hands
of financial agents, and invite subscrip-
tions for the balance of 100000, which,
it is thought, will be eagerly taken up.
A construction company has been or.
ganized in England to lay the cable. 1t
will be the shortest of all the ocean ca
bles. Entering the water at Westport,
Ireland, it will run to Greenly Island, in
the Gulf of st. Lawrence, distance OF
only l 300 miles.

degree hurtful, the very great majority
being saphrophy tic-that is, growing on

toned and figured by Mr.. Dowlen be-
long to this group and are common not
only to the vines of California, but to-
those of Europe as we'll.
1t is perfectly safe to assert THAT no
fungus known to science is capable OF
doing much injury unless it exists in
such quantity as to make it perfectly Wis
ible to the naked eye.
Certain obscure diseases Of plants.
'peach yellows," for example, have
been for many years the subject OF in

no nearer q solution than at the com

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
DENVER, July 25.-A special from
Douglas, Wyoming, regarding the lynch
ing of James Averill and Ella Watson,
on the Sweetwater last Saturday for cat
tle.stealing, says: The man and woman
were on the way to Caspar, and were
surprised by the lynchers near the
Sweetwater. While in the act of hanging
them, a man named Buchanan, friend
of Averill, appeared on the scene and
fred into the mob, wounding John Dur
bin in the hip. The lynchers then pur-
sued Buchanan, whe rode fifty miles to
Caspar and told his story.
Warrants were issued for the lynchers.
and Deputy Sheriff with posse OF
seven men started for the scene OF the
tragedy, arriving there Monday morning,
where they found the bodies of Averill
and Watson hanging from the limb of q
pine tree, their tongues protruding from
their lips, eyes hanging out upon their
cheeks, and their faces swollen and dis
colored almost beyond recognition.
Judging from the signs, desperate
struggle had taken place on the cliff, and
both the man and woman had fought for
their lives until the last. Their bodies
were cut down and taken to the Healy
ranch, where the Coroner empaneled
Jury, which rendered verdict to tho
effect that the deceased met their death
at the hands of John Burbin, Tom Sum,
J. r. Boutwell,, Sam johnson and man
named Mclean.
The two bodies were then placed in q
box and buried on the ranch. The
Sheriff then proceeded to the ranch of
Tom Sum, who readily gave the names
of the other lynchers. Sum was taken
into custody, and the party went from
there to BothwelPs ranch, where he also
was arrested. Both prisoners admitted
that they assisted in the hanging and
when informed that they would be taken
to Rawlins, Boutwell, told the Sheriff to
take look at the trees on his way back
to Caspar, as he was likely to find six or
eight more cattle rustlers hanging by the
neck.
| The two prisoners were taken to Raw
| Inns today, where they waived examina-
ton and were bound over in Sc, 900 bail.
1t is thought Sheriff Watson will reach
there some time tomorrow with other
lynchers. All who participated in tie
hanging are among the foremost cattle
men of the Sweetwater Valley. Durham
lives in Cheyenne, and is one OF the pill.
lars of the church. Boutwell, is the son
of wealthy business man, and Tom
Sum, an old pioneer scout, is known all
over the West.

LET NO one be misled by false state

LET NO one be misled by false state
ments, no matter whence they emanate,
to the effect that the Ballona route is the
only one by which the sewage of this city
can be taken out. A Acompetent engineer
has leveled all the way from the Uni
versity to the Nadeau vineyard. There
is an excellent fall from the one point to
the other. Considerations of the public
interest will not lead either newspaper
or an individual to make false statements
about these matters. Ulterior purposes
always lie behind such policy.
