Minnesota Senate.
The recent newspaper discussion
ofthe dangerous qualities ofammon.
ia comes from the alarming increase
of its use in baking powders. Peo'
pie who absorb it in small quantities
from day to day suffer from slow
ammonia poisoning. Taken inter
nally in sufficient quantities it eats
away the coatings Of the sto mach
and intestines and causes death,
Slow ammonia poisoning produces
various forms of stomach trouble.
Not one woman in ten thous.
and would use an ammonia baking
powder if she knew it. Such pow.
ders not only undermine the hetlth,
but Ammonia imparts . sallow and
blotched complexion.
Following is the bill recently pass
ed by the Minnesota senate. Itis
the danger signal which the law
throws out for the protection of the
people.
A Bill Tor an Act to Regulate the TRAIT
10 in Baking Powder
Section Amy person who shall
knowingly sell or procure the sale,
or offer for sale Of any package or
can Of Baking Powder, containing
any Ammonia in it, not distinctly
legibly and durably branded, stamp
ed or marked in q conspicuous place
with the words in English language
This Baking Powder contains Am
monia" in letters Of great plea, OF
any letters equivalent thereto in
length, shall be guilty Of misdemea-
nor, and punished by a 6ne not less
than $40 nor more than $50; shall
be confined in the County Jail not
less than ten or more than twenty
days VI by both fine or imprison-
ment, at the direction Of the court.
Secion 2-The sale or offer for sale
the substance mentioned in the fore.
going section in packages not stamp.
ed, marked, branded or labeled
as therein required, shall be prima.
facia evidence Of knowledge OF the
character of said substance, on the
part of the person so selling or offer
ing for sale and his employer.
Section 3-This Act shall be in
force ON and after its passage.
Note,-An incident occurred in tht
house when the senate bill came uI
for pasage,ln reference to an amend.
mont prodosed by Mr.. Diamen'
This was opposed by several men,
bers. MI. Feig said that iftbe bill al
it came from the senate was al
right then the amendment was al
wrong. The amendent compelling
the printing Of the word"Ammonia'
on the label only affected the Roya
Baking Powder, and no wonde
they felt the senate bill was a bio,
at them.

Elk Point lives MI. JOHN, q farmer
who rents Mark Naughton's farm.
His SON Theodore JOHN lives with his
parents on this farm and is, perhaps,
about twenty years old. He has
been waiting on Miss Lena Ceverdale,
the daughter of VIM. Coverdale,a also
living out that way. Miss Cover
dale is highly respected young lady
and no one has known any thing
seriously wrong with Theodore. but
for some reason Miss Coverdale's
parents did not desire their daughter
to be waited on by him. Recently
the young lady also refused to keep
his company, which greatly displeas-
cd him and caused him to threaten,
il is said, to take her life. She,
nevertheless, paid no attention TO
his threats and at times still kept
his company. Last Friday was
Miss Edith Anderson's birthday
and the young people Of the neigh
borhood had gotten up q purs and
had bought her q nice birthday
present, consisting Of = very hand
some dress. Miss Anderson is the
daughter Of O.. e. Anderson, a we'll
TODD farmer Of the same vicinity,
and the young people ~congregated
at his house in the evening to spend
Z social hour with the family on
Miss Edith's birthday. Every thing
was enjoyable until all had departed
for home. except three or four, who
were in tho bed room, among whom
was Miss. Coverdals. who had de-
cided to remain with her friend Miss
Anderson all night. Mr.. Anderson
knew Of Johns threats and kept an
eve on his movements. At this timo
he entered the he'd room, drew q revolt
yer Al Miss Coverdsle and proceeded
70 carry out his threat. Mr.. Ander-
son was near by however, and caught
him aud held him. He said he
wanted to kill her but MI. Anderson
said he should not. He then insit-
ed that he would kill them all if
they would not lot him kill Miss
Coyerdale. Mr.. Anderson called for
help and succeeded in getting his
revolver away from him. Three or
four men then took him in charge
and in Herb Collins wagon convey.
Cd him to this city and lodged him
in Jail. Within twenty-four hours
after theoccurrence, he was indicted
bv the Rrandjury for assault with
intent to kill. He was arraigned
before the court,plead not guilty and
will await his trial. His revolver
vas an I. X. t.. seven shooter which
he had bought 1t Thornton's store in
this city. During the afternoon Of
the same day he was fooling with the
revolver near Mr.. Shattuck' 3 place in
company with Horace Butler, q
brother Of the well known Pete But
tier, and shot himself in the foot
He was ct the party with this lame
foot, being unable to we ar . shoe.

plead guilty to the offense charged
against him and q petition has been
circulated asking the Court 10 inn

At the recent annual meeting Of
the American Chemical Society, held
in Washington, D.. G., the question
Of the value of carbonate Of ammonia
as 4 leavehing agent in bread, OF a
used in baking powders came up 70
discussion. in which Prof. Barker,
Of the University Of Pennsylvania,
and President Of the Society; DR..
Richardson, late Of the United States
Department Of Agriculture in WASH
ington; DR.. McMutrie, late Prof. Of
Chemistry in the University Of Illi-
nois; Dr.. Il. H. BARLEY. late Chem
ist Of Brooklyn, N. r., Board Of
Health, and Prof. Of Chemistry Of
the Long Island College, and Others
took part.
The conssnsos Of opinion WAS
overwhelmingin favor oftle smpiey
ment Of ammonia. II Was stated q
a fact that ammonia rendered the
gluten OF the -four more soluble than
the original gluten, and that the
bread in which this action was pro-
duced by carbonate Of an1monia
must be moro disestible and hence
more healthful, and because Of OK.
treme volatility Of carbonate Of am.
monia, and its complete expulsion
from the pread in the process Of
baking, it is the most useful, most
healthful and most valuable leaven-
ing agents known.
These conclusions are borne out
by the very elaborate and exhaustive
experiments made by Prof. J. w.
Msllet, Of the University Of Virginia,
which show coDclusively that bread
made with baking powder in which
ono per cent. of carbonate Of am.
monia il used, in competition with
cream Of tartar and soda, ID net only
Of uniformly better color and tex
ture, but . product moro wholesome,
because the ammonia serves 10 neu.
tralisa any organic or Tactic acids
present in the -four.

LIGHTNINGs DREADFUL SPORT.
Scorns Nine Chinese and Selects White
Smuggler.

Nine celestials will soon leave the
Golden Gate for the land of rice and
chopsticks. Their stay in the United
States has been brief and far from Joy
full. For some time since the authorities
have known thata deputation of Chinese
would shortly be imported across the
Canada line. Collector Dowd, stationed
at Sweet Grass, was notified to take great
care and gentleman named Hamlin
Russell was sent by the government to
assist in the search.
The party, nine in number, as ex-
pected, crossed the line some days since,
leaving traces at several points. Under
directions of Hon. Jere Sullivan, United
States collector, deputies Russell, Dowd
and Cummings all watched for the almond
eyed, carefully examining all trains. Nc
further traces could be discovered.
The hand of nature, however, proved
mighticr than the search Of man. The
Chinese, under the guidance of a white
man, had reached point on the hill
about four miles west Of Fort Benton
when Wednesday nights terrific thunder
storm began. They had evidently taken
to the bottom Of the wagon, lcav-
ing their conductor to drive the
team Mr. Samuel Heron
stock inspector, happened to be in the
vicinity. There came vivid flash OF
lightning which lit up the entire sur
rOundings and which Mr.. Heron saw
strike the wagon. On riding up to it he
disco, cred the driver and one horse dead
and nine live but badly scared China
men. Collector Sullivan was at once no
tilted and the party were duly captured
and imprisoned with all necessary ccrc
mony.
! Coroner G.. W. Crane was notified ant
started after the corpse, but the Gle
ments were one too many for the sturd.
justice and he returned leaving the dcaC
body prey to the wind and rain through
out the livclong night.
The Cinnamon are domicilcd in th'
Benton bastilc and will soon return f
their beloved fathcrland, Uncle San

SEVERAL CLOUDS ESCAPE.
Ana Empty Upon the Earth Mighty
Torrent of Rain.

Torrent of Rain.
Wednesday nights storm was undoubt-
ely productive of severe injury to sew
eral sections The range and district of
the hail can not be conJectured. At
Ulm, to the westward, the storm is
known to have been very destructive.
Dave Wilson, who resides about eight
miles up the Missouri, says that there
was no hail at his place, yet w. IL. Clm
of Ulm brought in wagon load of win
lows, every pane Of which was broken.
Not only this, but he thinks his grain is
total loss. At Ulm station the wind
mill was blown down and twisted to
pieces.
j. A. Mayer has returned from trip
to the east. At Benton he thinks there
was no hail, but began to notice fields
beaten down about four miles this side.
The Floweree, twenty miles east, rose
| two feet, and the Black Horse lake about
six, rose three feet, the pouring torrent
there seeming more like cloud burst
than a rain.
| Up Sun river there was a storm in the
afternoon and the storm at night also
wrought some damage.
Commissioner Dickey, from out at Box
Elder, reports no hail there.
In the city the rainfall was terrific.
The low place below the Park theatre
was in places five or six feet deep. All
the 81 acks in the neighborhoOd were
flooded.
Some queer things happened in the
midst Of and after the storm. A man
named Joseph McFaddcn took unto
himself heavy jag and strolled around
the pond. He sat down on the edge and
then struck boldly out into the water
He fell and had it not been for the efforts
of bystandcrs he would certainly have
drowned. He had not entirely recovered
from his soaking this morning, but will
have i've days in jail to do so.
The hail also succeeded in breaking
some glass. j. NJ. Russell, the flower
conservatory man, had sixty pancs OF
glass broken and the row OF Twelfth
street houses built by Barnes, CROWN
shield a. Wadsworth had all its front
windows demolished.
IT IS impossible to gain Il great deal OF
information regarding the Great Falls a
Canada. There were several washOuts
between Steel and the Great Falls sta
ton and the down train has been delay
ed at Vaughn all day.
On the Great Northern there was q
severe washout at Il point fourteen miles
from Great Falls near Ulm station. The
ties on "A fifty foot bridge were held to
gethcr by rails only The west bounc
train met the east bound train at this
place and Il transfer was effected, the
latter reaching Great Falls at 1:l5 p. m
1t is scarcely probable that train car

WAYSIDE WISDOM.

The hail storm of Wednesday evening
was one Of the most severe that has
visited this region in the recollection of
the oldest inhabitant There have been
storms in which more hail fell in the
same time, but generally they are con
fined to narrow limits. the storm district
being usually only few miles in width.
From telcgraphic reports and interviews
with ranchmen from various parts of the
county we infer that the late storm was
general throughout the state and that
the hail has done great deal of damage
in nearly every section of northern Mon
tana at least.
