BAKING POWDERS.
What the Minnesota State Au-
thOrities Know About Them.

st Paul, Mimi, Pioneer Pre;s.
If there is a doubt in anybody
mind as to the quality of the variou;
baking powders of the market, it will
be settled by the evidence given upon
the subject by the state officials OF
Mime sofa. The Dairy and Food
commission and the state chemist are
the highest official authorities upon
such subjects in the state, and their
evidence will be accepted as disinter-
es!ed and unprejudiced. 1t is their
business to examine the quality OF the
different food products, and TO sup
press the sale of those found impure
and unwholesome, and all will admit
that they have performed their duties
without fear or favor.
At a recent examination by leg
isla;ive committee to determine the
qualities of the various baking pow
ders sold in Minnesota, state chcmis::
and analyst to the Food and Dairy
commissioner, DR.. Benjamin F.
Drew, gave the following evidence

ing, a greater per cent. of carb,nic |
acid gas (leavening gas) than any

Ans. Yes, sir, that is a fact.
Ques.-Doctor, you also find from
that the R 'yal Baking
Powder will keep longer and retain its
qualities better than any other pow
Ter made, did you not?
Ans.-Yes, sir, l think it does.
Cues. the two most desira-
lie qualities in baking powders are
he amount of carbonic acid gas it
ontains and gives off and the length
+ time it will keep, are they not?
Ans.-Yes, sir.
Ques.-Then the Royal Baking
'owder, possessing these qualities, is
be best powder made, is it not ?
Ans.-Well, that would be the
atural conclusion.

On the 10Th of March 1891, a MAJ
representing himself as Thcs. F. Sit
ley, victimized Wood Bros, stool
commission merchants, of Chicsgo
out of S., $50 by means of a forged
bill of ladinc, which alleged that 16;
hogs and 152 head of cattle had beer
consigned to that firm from Windsor
Missouri. Sibley wired Wood Bros.
that the stock was shipped, then WOOD
Bros. wired the First National bank,
of this city, to honor Sibiey's draft
for $3.50. The forger secured the
the currency and went to Texas.
Sometime afterwsrd Sibley, under
another pame, undertook a similar
game with bogus shipment of cot
ton in Tennessee and was arrested at
Atlanta, Georgia, in company with a
female dance artist from New York.
Parties from Sedalia went to Atlanta
and identified the man arrested there
as the one who represented himself as
Thos. F. SibleY in Sedalia and the
prisoner was brought here and lodged
in Jail.
The prisoner claims that his name
is James l.. Dunn and not Sibley.
That his name never was Sibley, and
he never was in Sedalia until brought
here in charge of an officer.
This will probably be his line of
defense. -.
The result of the trial is looked
forward with much interest.
Sibley alias Dunn, is a smart fellow
we'll educated and has quite a literary
turn of mind. He was private secre-
tary to the late Thos. A. Williamson
while in jail awaiting his decease on
Oct. 81, from a temporary bridge
erected by Sheriff Smith.
This man, who is indicted for for.
gerry, was in court this morning and
on his own application, on account of
absence of witnesses, the case was
continued until the next term of
court, to be holden in April, 1892.
Dunn's attorneys, j. I. Montgom.
cry and P. D. Hastain, made a great
big plea for a reduction of the bond,
which was put at $1,000 by the jus
tice at the preliminary examination.
Mr.. Hastain urged that the evidence
against the defendant was only cir
cumstantial and the chances were
that he was entirely innocent as
to the charge in the indictment.
The court urged that often circum-
stantial evidence was more conclusive |
than direct evidence and he COM
menced to tell an incident of that |
kind, but RETAINED when he noticed a |
reporter with his weather ear aimed
at His Honor.
Mr.. Montgomery then gave the
court few parting shots as to the
mercy toward a man too poor to give
bond and among strangers,-after
which the court put the recognizance
1t 50, 800.
Then Dunn looked pleased and took
the deputy sheriff's arm quite socially |
and meandered toward the bastile on
Lamine street, on the south bank of
Pearl river
