A New Plant--what Is It2

Bob Logan, of Empire, says the
Carson appeal, has discovered new
plant growing wild along the banks
of streams and bitches. No one
seems to know what it is, and he has
sent it to the Nevada Agricultural
Station to be passed on by the Bot.
anist. -....
1t grows slender stem about three
feet high. 1t has few leaves, and
there are pods or boles on the top,
which burst and disclose cotton
like substance in appearance but
silky to the touch, and pure white.
The fibre of this is about three
inches long. Under the bark is a
layer Of fine fibre which runs the
length of the plant, and is very
strong.
Mr.. Logan showed the writer some
OF this fibre twisted up about the size
of a knitting needle, and there was
no one in the Bullion Bank strong
enough to break it with his fingers.
Mr.. Logan thinks he has discovered
some new plant in Nevada that will
De as useful as flax or hemp. Indeed,
this plant closely resembles fax.

THE FIGHT Eon PURE FooD.
Success OF the Efforts to SCOTCH BAD
Baking Powders.

The aggressive war waged by the
Royal Baking Powder Company upon
the hosts Ut adulterated and impure
baking powders sold throughout the
country is having u desirable effect,
Abe scandalous attacks upon the
Royal company by the manufacturers
OF the impure goods (Which are made
doubtless both from spirit OF re-
venge and in the hope Of breaking
the effect of the damaging exposures)
show that they are hit, while the
official reports which have come from
various public authorities fully COT
roboratiuR the statements made by
the Royal company have awakened
wholesome public sentiment in favor
OF repressive laws, which means mis-
chief to the illegitimate traffic.
The Royal Baking Powder Company
set out some time ago to expose the
character and t. break up the sale of
adulterated baking powders. Having
found from an examination Of many
specimens that there was a large
number of actually injurious powders
in the market, they brought the mat
ter before the public and denounced
the makers by name in the press and
to the health authorities. The affair
was taken up by physicians, Boards
Of Health, and Legislatures through.
out the country, chemists were em-
ployed to test the various powders In
the market, and the government it.
self directed analysis to be made be-
fore it would purchase the supplies
needed for army, Eavy, and Indian
uses.
The result justified the charges
made by the Royal company. Not only
were the majority of baking powders
in the market found to be largely
adulterated, but many of them were
ascertained to contain alum and other
poisonous ingredients to such nm ex-
tent as to render them positively un.
safe for use in human food.
In making the charges the Royal
Baking Powder Company did not
hesitate to enter into competition
with every other baking powder in
the country, and it is public Salts
faction that in the official tests by the
government and State chemists and
by Boards OF Health, the Royal Bak-
ing Powder has been declared to be-
the superior Of all others in strength,
purity and wholesomeness, and abso-
lutely free from all inferior or detri-
mental substances.
From recent official reports it is
evident that the alum and otherwise
impure goods have again come upon
the market in dangerous quantities
and their old enemy, the Royal, is
again upon the warpath. IL con-
tinuing it's warfare against these
goods the Royal is meeting with the
old-time opposition and abuse. The
public, however, will appreciate, as
heretofore, both the object OF the
abuse and the action of the Royal
company, and award full justice to
the company that so fearlessly stands
up for it's protection from such ad-
venturers.

bricks. says writer in the Kansas City Times.
Several years ago, while the lamented Indianan
was touring the west, Burdette was the funny
man OF the Burlington HGWkeye. In that ca
pacity he wrote good many satirical verses
concerning Mr.. Hendricks. One day Burdette
was at railroad hotel at Iowa City when the
PROPRIETOR called him.
"See here, Bob" said the Boniface, there's a
man in the dining-room whom you're just dying
TO meet. Come along"
who is it?" asked the humorist, hanging
back.

man, and with that Burdette was hustled into
the eating-room.
'Mr. Hendricks, Mr.. Burdette,'' said the pro-
prtetor, whereupOn handsome. smiling man
arose from table, and extending his hand to
the man from Burlington, said:
And so this is Mr. Burdette, is it?"

And Mr.. Hendricks proceeded to recite the

dozen of the satirical outbursts in rhyme that

large part Of his vacation fund in getting TO
the town where she lived. He had only three
days 20 stay there, and bsfore he went back to
the city he told the girl that he loved her, that
ne mad waited two years for the opportunity to
tell her, that their lives ran in such different
channels that he might not see her again for
two years more. He took her promise back
with him.
They got married. and every day Of his life

Bla,ne the Leader,

Mr. Blaine is the real leader of the. Re-
publican party. There Is no doubt upon
that point. He can have the nomination
for President if he wants it. aud the indi-
cations are that he does want it.
Washington is now full Of prominent re-
publican politicians from all parts of the
country. Nearly all of them are in favor
of making Mr.. Blaine the standard bearer
of the Republican party next year. They
represent the republicans in their respective
sections very fairly.
According to our Washington dispatches
Mr.. Blaine neither admits nor denies that
be would accept the nomination If 1t should
be offered him, but his attitude is such that
those close to him have no doubt as to what
his purpose is. The only thing that is in the
way OF his ambition is his health. and that
is said to be better than it has been for
years.
The republican leaders have not much, If
any, ground for finding fault with the
President, but they realize that he cannot
arouse any enthusiasm in the party, and
that without enthusiasm, and plenty Of it,
their party has no chance for success for
the next national contest.
Many who are now talking in favor Of Mr..
Blaine do not do so because they prefer him
to all the other candidates but because they
think he can be elected If any republican
can. They believe that with him at the
head of the ticket they could get back the
members of their party who have strayed
away, and that they could call into existence
again some such feeling as that which
animated the party in its earlier history,
and which insured it victories
Unless Mr.. Blaine decides to decline a
nomination the PreMdent might as well
cease his efforts for a denomination. He
can accomplish nothing in that direction
against the strong Blaine sentiment. And
he does not dare to ask Mr.. Blaine what his
purpose is with regard to the nomination.
He must wait until it suits Mr.. Blaine to
disclose his purpose. There is no way In
which he can avoid recognizing Mr.. Blaine
as the party's leader
