-vMore Money.

Z y Il
The National Grange is on record
through all tho years of Its history in
favor of plentiful supply OF money for
the use of all the people Of our country
and against the control of money by q
few special classes who have 1t in their
power to depress the price Of land and
all Its products, and tho products Of
other labor as we'll.
BY vote Of moro than three to one
the National Grange, at its last session.
voted for free coinage of silver.
However much farmers, in thoir sew.
eral organizations, and laboring men In
heirs, may differ upon other matters,
1t Is good sign that, without excep-
tion, all the farmers, laborers' and
workingmen's societies in the United
States have placed tho FREQ coinage OF
silver in their National platforms, and
have recorded themselves squarely on
tho side of more money and no middlo-
men to control its supply.
If this farmers organization should
acc omplish nothing more. it has proved
to be one Of the greatest schools
OF political economy over known,
and Is doing more to set
people to thinking for themselves
instead of allowing othors to think for
them than any other society In exist
ence. Go whero you may you will find
the masses talking intelligently upon
subjects that few years ago they waro
wholly ignorant of. They no longer
look to party bosses for their opinions
but study for themselves. Western

ArBuRN, N. Y, Aug. 6.-Between
six and seven o'clock this morning in
the basement of the State prison in
this city William Kemmler was killed
under the law by the use of clectri-
city. On March Goth, 1889, he mul-
dered his mistress, Tillie Zeigler, and
his death today was the reparation
for his crime.
He breakfasted lightly between five
and six o'clock. Religious services
were held. He made his own toilet,
and was cheerful, cool and without
apparent dread. He entered the
death chamber about half-past six.
He assisted in preparing himself for
death. He was placed in an ordinary
chair by the warden who introduced
him to those present. He made
few brief farewell remarks. There
were no prayers in the death room.
The man wasevidently devoid of nerve
tension. s.'-l.
His voice while speaking had no
tremor. He submitted to the straps
quietly. He directed the adjustment
of the electrodes. He made sug-
gestion to the warden and finally sat
in the death chair without Sremor.
A convulsion marked the applica-
ton of the electric current. He was
said to be dead in seventeen seconds
and the current was stopped.
Later it was, resumed, and in thir-
teen minutes from the, first stroke he
was declared dead. The flesh, of the
back was burned, also a spot upon
the top of the head. An autopsy was
begun three hours after death and its
disclosures noted by all the doctors
present, The microscope later must
determine the exact condition. d

The Force Bill to he Pushed.

WASHINGTON, Senators Hawley
and Manderson say there is no truth
in the report that the force bill is
to be abandoned They say that if
anybody thinks that because the
river and harbor bill was to be taken
up on the 9th the force bill is be
dropped he is entitled to his opinion
of course, but is sadly in error. The
river and harbor bill is to be taken
up and passed because the public
works to which the money is to be
applied are suffering for want of it
Then the tariff bill will be passed,
after which the force bill will be ia
ken up Another thing which the
.Sep2SiEs did not ~ mentioa is that the
OH is not yet completed. Senator
Hoar is out of town and is not ex-
pected back before next week, when
it is hoped by Senator Hoar and his
fellow conspirators that they will be
able to present completed copy of

Royal Baking Powder
Leads All.

The United States Official Investigation of Baking
Powders, made under authority of Congress- by the
Chemical Division of the Department of Agriculture,
Washington d. c., and recently completed, furnishes
the highest authoritative information to which is
the best baking powder. The Official Report shows
the Royal Baking Powder to be a cream of tartar
baking powder superior to all others in strength and
leavening power.
The Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure made
from the wholesome materials and produces finer
favored, sweeter, lighter, palatable, wholesome
and delicious bread, biscuit cake pastry etc., than
any other baking powder or leavenng agent
Being OF greater strength than any other baking
powder, it is also the most economical in use
lfthere are any housekeepers not using the Royal
Baking Powder these great qualities warrant them
in making trial of it.
