to the Congregational church. where the

read appropriate passages from the
scriptures and made a few feeling re-
marks. Rev. Mr.. Kicker spoke of the
beauties of human sympathy, whibh
speaks more %eloquently than words. He
addressed some OF his remarks personally
to the postal clerks and soldiers, and
spoke of the dangers of their respective
professions. During his remarks many
of the ladies' were sobbinp and more than
one gentleman had occasion to use his
handkerchief.
At the conclusion of the services Mrs.
Lyon was led to the casket and looked
for the last time into the face of her dead
husband. As she did SO her grief broke

Poison i'm the Kitchen.

No article entering so generally into the food of every
household is SO generally and vinainously adultered as bak-
ing powder. These adulterated powders are showed upon
the public with the greatest persistency.
Throbbing advertisements in newspapers claiming this
brand or that is absolutely pure, backed by analyses and GER
tifcates, and yet they are adulterated with ammonia or alum.
1t is to be hoped the law will take hold of these merciless
manufacturers and punish them for destroying the stomachs
of the unsuspecting consumer.
Amid all this fraud and deceit Dr.. Prices Cream Bak-
ing Powder stands almost alone battling for pure food and
continues to furnish a pure cream of tartar powder at almost
the same cost to the people as the ammonia and alum pow
ders are sold at, yet it costs much more to manufacture.
Dr.. Prices Cream Baking Powder is of the highest
strength. 1t produces the largest amount of leavening power
attainable in a pure baking powder. 1t is free from ammo
mia or any other aduteration No powder does such work.
Housewives who have tested all use DR.. Prices only.

was under command of Lieut.. Rossiere.

Following the dress drill was a mock

initiate. Fred Chafin, who was in the
rear rank when he could keep up with the
procession, wore a very knGbby suit, es-
peciaily about the knees. To prevent
chatting he had thoughtfully put a leather
boot on one knee while a string Of rubber
balls around his ietlock prevented hin
from seriously interfering. He carried
his gun bias. Maroon Galways and a red

BACK FROM THE FAIR.
Wyoming's Lady Delegate Returns
From Chicago.
The State Chances for Her Depart.
ment Not Promising.
Some Of the Plans and How They
Will be Carried Out.

Mrs. Frances E. Hale returned home
yesterday. Mrs. Hale is one OF the Wyo-
ming delegates of the woman's worlds
fair commission. She seems very much
interested in the work of the commission
but fails to see where Wyoming is to
derive any very great benefit. In some
states the lady members of the national
board OF commissioners have been APP
pointed, or recognized In their states. as
members of the home commission. In
some states they have been granted passes
by the railway companies and %appropria-
lions have been made to pay their ex-
penses. In Wyoming, however, the APP
preparation. while large per capita, is SO
small that only actual expenses Of the
exhibit can be paid from it.
Wyoming's state board has no lady
members. though there has been talk Of
appointing them. Mrs. Hale says that
In some states where the women take part
in producing the articles to be exhibited
as they do in manufacturing and IN tn,
Southern states, there is much to be &C
complished by the women OF the stat
boards. At the exposition everythinI
which has been made by and ev
erything in which a woman has taken an
part in producing. will have a tag at
tached showing such to be the case. o.
all articles for which prizes are to b.
awarded, if produced in part or in Who'll;
by women, one-half of the judges OF aware
will be ONE One-half of the-judges
on foreign exhibits will be foreigners.
The principal business of the commission
at its last meeting was to unseat Miss
Couzens as secretary, which they did, and
elected in her place Susan Gale Cook OF
Tennessee. Not only will women play
a prominent part by having their products
exhibited, but apart from the exhibition
halls will be a
woMAN's BUILDING.
1t will be 200 by 400 feet, two stories
high with ar attic, containing committee
rooms and general Offices. On the end of
the pavilion are roof gardens protected
from the sun by awnings and command
ing beautiful views of the surrounding
grounds.
Among the apartments of the woman's
building will be a model kitchen, model
hospital, model kindergarten and other
model apartments specially adapted to
woman's work. Mrs. Hale is a great
admirer of Mrs. Potter Palmer, who is
president of the commission. The Wyo.
ming woman also net many other very
interesting women, among whom were
Mrs. Logan, who will be sent to Europe
by the committee on foreign affairs.

this has been done entirely without outside

Their financial operations have been
successful in every particular, their in
tercsts will protected, their credit sus-
tanned and their bonds kept from the
sacrifices of Il falling market. In other
words, the Roanoke and Southern people
have been able to negotiate their loans
upon their bonds, for all the money they
want without being compelled to part
with them at ruinous prices below par,
and they are in position to open the
spring work on an enlarged scale, to
push the road to a connection with the

We congratulate the community, and

An Interesting Discussion at Federation
Hall Last Night.

An Interesting Discussion ut Federation
Hall Last Night.
An audience which made up in enthu-
siasm what it lacked in numbers, faced
Chairman Cummings when he called to
order the third meeting in the open
series of the Eederati ton Labor at their
hall last night
J. l.. Rodier was the first speaker, and
confined his remarks to an explanation
of THE TINES second mortgage plan
and the desirability of workingmen own
ing their own homes.
J. Il. Joyce, of the Iron Moulders
Union, thought that worllingmen should
first organize to secure the enactment
of laws needed for mechanics.
j. w. Hartwell, ESQ.,, of tho local bar,
followed in short speech.
p. Wright, of tho Amalgamated AS
sociation of Iron and Steel Workers,
argued that it was unwisc for me-
chanics to own homes by reason of their
migratory habits, but thought they
should adopt some cooperative system
of spending their earnings.
William Henderson. president of the
Roanoke Federation of Labor, evolved
the novel but practical idea that the
value Of home, as home, did not
fiuctuate; it could never decrease in
value for the purpose Of a home.
Il. Il. Burlington, of the Tailors'
Union, closed the speaking in short
but practical speech endorsing the CO.
operative idea.
