DENVER, Dec. f5.-The snow storm which
swept over portion of The Rocky Mountain
region yesterday, extended from Central
Wyoming to New Mexico. A hurricane
accompanied the SNOW, and in many local-
ties did much damage, especially at Pueblo
and along the ''Divide.
The snow in Denver did not fall more

\ Sidewalk CASE.

The case of Sarah Moore VS.. the city
of Platteville, was recently tried in the
supreme court. 1t appears that the
city had repaired a defect in the side
walk on Main street by inserting a
crossgrained and shaky piece of plank
at a point where the sidewalk was
some three feet above the ground
August q, 1899, Sarah Moore stepped
upon this piece of plank. 1t broke
with her weight. Her limb was badly
bruised, her back wrenched and hel
shoulder injured. She sued for $3.50
and the jury awarded her 5000. The
Judgment was sustained by the SUI
preme court.

A creamery for Mineral Point.


We publish elsewhere in today S
Democrat a notice to farmers living
within three miles of Mineral Point.
We are informed that a party with
ample capital stands ready to engage
in the creamery business here, provid-
ing milk from sufficient number of
cows can be secured to run a first-clasS,
medium sized, factory. The establish
ment of a creamery here would be a
great benefit to the farming commun-
ity, insuring to them for the milk of
their COWS fully as much as if they
should make butter therefrom, and sell
it at Chicago prices.

The Public will Annreciate Ii

The public are indebted to the Royal
Baking Powder Company not more for
having perfected and prepared leav-
ening agent that is pure and wholesome
beyond a question of doubt than for
its exposure, SO boldly made, of the
numerous articles that are sold under
the name of baking powders, bread
preparations, etc, throughout the
country. In making these exposures
the company has, of course, made it
self the target for all sorts of counter
attack S, but the animuS of the attacks
has been perfectly understood by the
general public, and by their very viru-
lence have served to more prominently
call attention to the good work of the
Royal Company.
Ordinary authorizations such as are
found in coffee, spices, etc, although
they are sWindle in a commercial
sense, are often tolerated because they
do not particularly affect the health of
the consumer. Put when an article
like baking powder, that is relied upon
for the healthful preparation of every
meal, is so made as to carry highly in
furious if not rankly poisonous ele-
ments into our daily food, it is the
duty of the public authorities to take
cogniZance of it.
In this fight for pure food made by
the Royal Company, it is to be noticed
that the most trustworthy scientific
authorities are upon its side. In all
the contests of this company with the
alum and other impure baking pow
ders the result has proved that every
statement made by the Royal Baking
Powder Company, both as to the puri-
ty of its own and the adulteration of
orher baking powders of the market,
was fully authorized by the most COM
petent chemical and medical author
tiles of the country.
In this contest two facts have been
pretty conclusively settled in the
minds of the public-the first that the
Royal Company has found the means.
and uses them to make a chemically
pure article of food; and the other
that the market is full of poisonous,
alum and other adulte' ated baking
powders, which, no matter how strong
Iy endorsed by commercial chemists,
are to be studiously avoided.
\ pure baking powder is one of the
| chief aids to the cook in preparing
perfect and wholesome food The re-
cent controversy in the press has left
it no longer a question with those who
desire purity and wholesomeness of
food what baking powder they shall

Passed Away.
The Anamosa CIowa) Eureka.


Last week we gave an account of
the accidental scalding of Mr. and Mrs.
J. b. Pulford's little daughter, who sat
down in a bath-tub Of hot water
Hopes were entertained of her recovery
but on Friday morning at 5 o'clock
little Helen breathed her last and her
sweet spirit returned to Him who gave
it. She was only sixteen months old
but had won the admiration and affec-
ton of many, and her sudden removal
from the home and the possession of
idolizing parents by a fearful casualty
has well nigh broken their hearts. Sci
dom indeed has the community been
so wrought up as in this sore bereave,
ment to Mr.. and Mrs Pulford.
On Friday evening the remains were
placed on the train for Whitewater
Wis, accompanied by the parents and
Mrs. Pulford's mother. 1t is a sad
mission, and will be sadder yet to re,
turn alone.

The Chapter Installation Party


Masonic hall CT this city was, OF
Wednesday evening. the scene of {
delightful installation party. The
musical part of the program consisted
of playing by the famed Italian or
chestra of Dubuque. and two voca
solos, by Prof Osborne.
Past Grand High Priest r. -. Pull
ford, acting as grand high priest, an6
Past High Priest VIM. Treweek, act
ing as grand marshal, installed the
officers of Iowa Chapter No. 6, r. A
NJ, as follows: A F. Bishop, high
priest; B., 7. Prideaux, king; H. H
Wright, scribe; E. ". Sylvester, treas.
urer; j. 4. Spratler, secretary; n. Ire
week, captain of the host; W. ]. Pen
hallegon, principal sojourner; John
Charles, royal arch captain; A. H.
Potter, Sd vail; Robert James, I'd vail
w. G. Hales, LIST vail; S. Terrill, guard.
The ceremonies of installation were
impressively conducted; and at the
close Rev. NJ. Chase was called upon
and responded in a brief, able and
timely speech; although not member
of the masonic order, he showed keen
appreciation of its aims and purposes.
At the close of his remarks the feast
was announced. 1t was one betitting
the occasion and was served in the
banquet hall under the direction of
that prince of caterers, c. H. Hornuug.
Then came dancing. to the inspiring
music of the orchestra. An amusing
feature was the surrender of the floor
for what may with propriety be termed
green dance, for gentlemen Who had
not tripped the Light fantastic" for
twenty years or more. The ladies
chose their partners, and poor innocent
men were ruthlessly dragged upon the
floor, despite their most earnest protes-
tations, and taught that the proper
caper was to dance whether they could
or not; and dance they did, to the sat
isfaction of their partners and the high
delight of the entire company. The
general verdict was that "they did
beautifully" AS incendiary threats
were made in case he should do so, the
reporter deems it prudent not to give
the names of those who joined in the
impromptu affair.
Altogether, the Chapter party of 1891
was pleasant event, The attendance
from distance, on account of the cold
weather, was not as large as on former
occasions. We noticed however, Albert
Eastman, from Montfort; James Pei
low, son and daughter, Linden; Morris
Parkinson and sister, Miss Mary Par
kinson, Willow Spring; Ben thinner,
Milwaukee; and Miss Grow, of Oar
lington.

of the death of Nh Michael Hughes

Waldwick for 25 years, and of Mineral
Point city for four years:
Died, N. Hughes, on Jan. %, at his
residence on Sheffield street, after long

The subject of the following brief
memoir was born in the county of Ty-
rom, Ireland, A. ID. 1909. He being
the youngest of four children. His
parents were farmers. His father died
when he was ten years old. OF his
early life but little is known to the
writer. Certain it is that he left his
native land in 1843, and sought a home
in the new world. Landing in New
York, from thence he came west ana
arrived at Mineral Point, in the then
territory of Wisconsin, in August OF
same year. He remained here but
short time when he removed to New
Orleans, where he engaged in business
and remained for five years, after
which time he returned to Wisconsin
and took a homestead in Waldwick
which he soon converted into a com
Portable home. In the year 1856 ir
addition to his farming enterprise hi
engaged in the live stock, lum Der anC
grain business. About this time he alsC
became a member of the Chicago

he was fairly successful and accumu
lated considerable wealth. In 1873 he
sold his interests in Wisconsin ant
moved TO st. Anne, ILL.,, where he pur
chased quite tract of land and also
engaged in the hay grain and trade.
In this he continued till within a few
weeks of his death, when his failing
health compelled him to transfer the
business to his sons.
Personally, Mr.. Hughes was of {
genial and social nature, warm friend
a good and obliging neighbor, and
possessed of sterling business qualities
being scrupulously honest in his deal
ings with his fellow-men, and will be
long remembered by his numerous
friends.
In politics he was an ardent demo
crat and always supported his party.
In religion he was consistent Cath
Ollie and died in the full belief OF the
