Correspondence OF the Richmond Dlspatch.l
WARRINGTON. June 10. Regardless of the
fact that the prevailing opinion is that the
President will not appoint the nine
judges Of the United States Appellate
Court until the assembling Of Congress
next winter the friends of the many as
pirants are not allowing the grass to grow
under their feet. They are working just
as If the appointments would be made in q
few days or few weeks. and the selection
OF the judges for the Private Land Court
has glven certain men lever with which
10 work. II was somewhat of a surprise
that in choosing the Land-Court judges
the President saw fit to ignore completely
the claims Of all Of the ex-members Of
Congress with one execution. There were
no less than a dozen of the Republican
dead ducks among the applicants for
those positions. Among q number NAV be
mentioned Judge Thompson, Of Ohio.
The Democratic Legislature OF his State
threw him in congressional district with
General Grosyenor, and they had n fight
for the nomination in the new district that
resulted in the honor being giveRt to Cen
eyal Enochs. thus leaving both Of the old
members out in the cold.

A sHAKE-UP.

The coming shake-up in the Census
Bureau aud the probable discharge of
about a thousand of the clerks will strike
many of the Virginia clerks who have posi-
tons in that bureau. In consequence of
the exhaustion Of the appropriations the
Superintendent of the Census IL compelled
TO reduce the force. 1t will 90 very hard
with the women in this bureau. They
make more money by being employed by
the Government than they could earn any
where else, and besides the hours are
shorter and the duties quite pleasant.
They can dress nicely, and many tear
will be shed on the 1st Of July when
1.-THE girls get notices that their ser
vices are no longer needed by Uncle Sam.
The Superintendent is being oyerrun with
appeals IN behalf of this one and that
one, and his own life will be burden
between now and the first Of the month.
The expense of taking the eleventh census
has been enormous, and TO complete 1t Will
REQUIRE still larger appropriations. The
next House will be slow, however, 20 vote
additional funds, and before any step IL
taken the chances are that the Democrats
will want explicit statements as TO how the
money has been spent. whore the clerks
come from, and 10 what influences they
owed their appointment The House will
also probably insist on knowing the exact
condition Of the work.

VERY FRANK.

Another very significant expression on
the part of Mr.. Mills is his discovery that
Cleveland is losing strength IN the South.
very frank, when il is remembered that the
Texan and the ex-Pr6sident have been very
thick personally and politically.
Mr.. Mills still thinks that his own
chances for the speakership are fattering
and he believes firmly that he is going to
be nominated by the Democratic caucus.
All of the leading candidates are such ex-
perienced and capable men that no matter
what may be the result the party at large
will be satisfied with the selection. As
things now stand Judge Crisp appears 70
lead all of the candidates, and the honor
will 90 to q southern man unless the Demo-
Gratis of that section foolishly throw away
the advantages that they possess.

CONFIRMED.

Congressman Mills. who has been in The
city this week, has confirmed in printed
interview the statement printed several
times in this correspondence that in the
event of his own failure 20 be elected
Speaker of the House he will favor the
nomination of Mr.. Bynum by the Demo-
cratic caucus. The DISPATCH correspond
dent obtained this information several
months ago from a trustworthy source.
The public declaration on the part Of Mr.
Mills will be quite apt to stir up the sup,
porters of Mr.. Springer, and if they. find
that the distinguished Texan is working
in the interest of the Indiana member for
second choice the belief is expressed that
the Springer adherents when they learn
that their first choice has no show may
switch over to the support OF Judge Crisp.

REDRESS AGAINST THE RAILROAD.
THE COMPANY's SIDE.

The rules of the railroad company are
that no passenger shall remain upon the
platform when the train is in motion. and
the law makes the conductors cOnservators

from those who heard his account of the
affair it is learned that while exercising his
authority to get DR.. Meruwether from the
platform he did not use any undue force
that when he spoke to the Doctor to go
into the car the latter replied that be would

Huntington Herald: The steamer
Norma is to be put upon the ways
at once, that the injuries she received
by coming in contact with the rocks
OF Snake river while on her memorable
trial trip down the river to Little Bar,
may be repaired. A force of
mechanics and laborers have been
secured and the necessary materials
for putting her in good shape have
arrived. Captain Gray will have
charge of the steamer until spring,
when as the waters OF the river rise
sufficiently, it is understood she will
be taken down the Snake into the
Columbia, which is the last we evel
expect to hear of the Norma in this
part of the world.

BAKING POWDERS.
What the Minnesota State Authorities Kno'
About Them.

Apout Ahch.
If there is O. doubt in anydody's
mind as to the quality of the various
baking powders of the market, it will
be settled by the evidence given upon
the subject by the State officials Of
Minnesota. The Dairy and Food
Commission and the State Chemist
are the highest official authorities
upon such subjects in this State, and
their evidence will be accepted as
disinterested and unprejudiced. 1t
| is their business TO examine the
quality Of the different food products,
and to suppress the sale of those
found impure and unwholesome,
and all will admit that they have
performed their duties without fear
or favor
At recent examination by q
Legislative Committee to determine
the qualities of the various baking
powders sold in Minnesota, State
Chemist and analyst to tho FOOD
and Dairy Commissioner, DR.. Charles
w. Drew, gave the following evidence
Ques. DIR. Drew, / see by the
report of the Dairy and Food Com
mission of this State in making
analysis of the various baking
powders of this country you repor
as a result of your work that tn
Royal Baking Powder contains ant
: gives off in baking greater per cent
of carbonic acid gas Qeavening gas
! than any other baking powder made
, is that true?
. Ans. Yes, sir, that is fact.
+ Ques. - DJctor, you also foun
+ from experiment that the Royi
Baking Powder will keep longer an
q retain its qualities better than an
other powder made, did you not?
- Ans. Yes, sir, | think it does.
Ques. Now, the two most de
r sirable qualities in baking powb'
!, are the amount of carbonic gass
= contains and gives off and the lengt
10 of time it will keep, are they not?
n Ans. Yes, cir.
20 Ques.-Then the Royal Bakir
ID Powder, possessing these qualitie
70 is the best powder made, is it not?
is Ans. We'll, that would be Il
at natural conclusion.

O if not?

HE MADE HIS LAST TRIP ]!
.-i--,-s-is,
John Lympus Meets a Trag-
ic Death.
A Fatal Mishap BefalIs
the SaIubIia Stage

On last Friday morning the daily
stage for Salubria, loaded with some
1860 pounds of freight, and carry
ing Riel Wilson, as passenger,
pulled out as usual for Salubria.
John Lympus, the driver, was at
his post holding the whip and lines,
which position he has occupied for Il
few months past. But ah, the un-
certainty of lifel Little thought the
driver that he had made his last trip;
that he would never gaze on 'Weiser
again in life, nor would never reach
his destination, except as corpse.
On Saturday evening the news arrived
in Weiser of the total wreck of the
stage few miles this side of Salubria
resulting in the drivers death. Full
particulars cannot be had but as far
as can be ascertained it seems that
while going down the hill this side of
Salubria the front axle broke close to
the wheel on the lower side of the
grade, allowing the stage and contents
to suddenly capsizc. The driver
stCrck the ground on his back and
the wagon and load buried him from
sight. Riel Wilson being seated on
the upper side came down on top.
He heard the driver family cry out
twice, ''Help mel Help mel Riel's
foot was held fast by the break anc
irons on the wagon and he was un
able to extricate himself until he had
! taken out his knife and cut off hi
ovefshoe By that time John Lympu
was dead. Mr.. Wilson unhitched tn
team and drove them to Salubri
where he made the news known ant
help returned and eXticated the body
The corner of the wagon bed presse'
heavily on his throat just above tn
collar bone causing his death almos
instantly. An inquest, was held o
the remains which were buried i
the Salubria cemetary on Sunday
Mr.. Lympus had been in Washingto
county for about year. His fol
mer home was in Kansas where b
has four children and other relative
now living.

WHAT is GOOD BAKING PowDER3

1t is a well known fact that
carbonate of ammonia is used by
bakers in the preparation Of the finest
and most wholesome bread and cake,
and has been flom time immemorial.
1t is among the Oldest and at the
same time most heathful constituents
of baking powders. 1t is all evolved
in gas by the heat of the oven, ant
leaves no trace of itself in the food
and it is this that gives it its grea
value as leavening agent in tn
opinions of the physicians. -NeN

ADIEU TO The NORMA.
Industry on Ida
hos List.
Grumbling. at Boise.



A broom factory is now under way
at Boise and another branch of
industry is opened to the people Of
south Idaho. Those who are willing
to experiment in raising broom cane
can find a ready cash market. The
Statesman says As every one
knowns, brooms are made of a species
Of corn called broom corn This
plant is grown in large quantities in
Kansas and other western states.
The proprietors of the new industry,
Messrs. Bard & Farrer, buy their
Kansas-grown broom-corn at Denver,
having to pay $58 per ton freight.
The cost of the corn in Denver is
from $50 to 1925 per ton. The corn
will grow as we'll in the Boise valley
as in Kansas Mr.. II. Seller of this
city has specimens Of broom corn
grown on the ranch Of Jake Myers, a
short distance from Boise. Mr.. Bard
showed the Statesman reporter some
of this homegrown corn yesterday,
and said, as was very evident, that
it was far superior to that which he
was obliged to buy in Denver. 1t
headed out more evenly and was OF
a firmer growth. He would be glad
to take all such corn that the farmers
OF the state can supply, and such as
he himself could not use IN hii
business he would ship to Denver, tt
compete with the Kansas corn. Al
more freight is shipped into the stat'
than is shipped from it, the freigh
to the east, for there would be o
necessity many empty freight cars
and the railroad company would pro
badly allow favorable terms in orde
to fill its empty cars.
Here is IN opportunity that tn
farmers of Idaho should not neglect
8 Every new marketable crop grow
adds just SO much to their owl
a wealth and to that Of the state.

Idaho Falls Register,

Idaho Falls Register,
During the past week there has
been considerable talk and agitation
regarding the proposition OF issuing
bonds by the town corporation for the
purpose Of making some substantial
improvements. Upon looking up the
law, however, it was found that a
few words, stating that the town
must contain 1000 inhabitants be-
fore an action of the kind could be
taken. 1t is also learned upon pretty
good authority that these words were
added at the instlgation of Boise
City in order to prevent Caldwell
from issuing bonds.
We are not positive that vote To-
bonding the town of Idaho Falli
could be carried, but whether !
could or not it seems that affairs 0
the state would bc In much bette
condition if every law that is passe
by the legislature was not dictate
by Boise City. There was tim
when the words Boise City to Bois
City man ment Idaho, but that tim
: is past and we can assure the peop
OF that burg that if they do not desi
! in their attempts to conduct ever
t thing the cry will be anything
, beat Boise City" and it will not on
be cry but actions will follow.
r Our representative fought ha
; against the proposition but the h
lings of Boise from other count
pro we'd to much for him.

children. This sentiment prevails to
some extent everywhere I suppose,
and those who hold it regard public
education as charity. There are those
perhaps, who are willing to dole out
little education to the poor on tbs
same principle that they would give
them loaf of bread to keep them
from starving. The foundation Of
public education is broad statesman

Seamless bodices are not becoming to
women with full figures When there is a
tendency to shortness all the seams of
darts and side forms should be retained,
as these break the apparent size, and an
extra side form is sometimes put in to keep
these seams at even distances. Nodistes
use two under arm forms for bodices which
measure more than twenty-siX inches at
the belt line, making these forms of the
same width as tue rounded side forms of
the back, while the middle back forms are
still narrower. This gives nine length wise
seams, and with two darts each side of the
front there are thirteen seams in the bod
ice. Nor should stout women wear coats
that are deep on the side, as they outline
the hips too plainly.
Their best choice is plain bodice rather
short on the hips, meeting a skirt draped
in long folds in front, more nearly pointed
than curved, to give the effect OF length
and take away from the apparent breadth.
Double breasted bodices with slight poStil-
ion back are liked for wool gowns Of large
women. A good plan to break the broad
effect in skirts is to put far back on each
side next the back breadth narrow
straight panel or rever Of velvet or cloth
of the fabric used as trimming on the
bodice. Trimming around the skirt should
be avoided. -Harper's Bazaar
