Complaint from Denver Shippers.

DENVER. Col, June 13.-The interstate
commerce commission met here to-day for
the purpose of hearing a complaint from
the commercial organizations of Denver
against the railways. The address sets
forth the fact that rates from Chicago. st.
Louis and Kansas City to FL Paso are from
- to 30 per cent lower than from Denver.
while the haul from the latter point was
from 400 to 900 miles shorter. 1t was also
shown that merchandise could be shipped
from Chicago and St. Louis to San Fran
cisco for less than from Denver, and that
the plant Of the Colorado coal and iron
company, valued at $4,000 was COM

A Determined Farmer.

Several of the Kenosha boys took an
overland picnic to few miles south Of
Salem station Sunday and spent the day
in hunting and other sports, returning la
ter in the evening. On their way back
and a short distance south of the station
they saw turkey in the road and one of
the fellows pulled up and shot it, and,
Jumping out Of the buggy. picked the
turkey up and threw it in the bottom Of
the conveyance. Fortune did not smile
upon the nervy party, however. Mr.. E..
p. Ripley, the owner Of the turkey, and
near whose house it was killed, took the
part of the unrelenting nemesis and start
ed after them and passed them near the
station He first went to Bristol, but
finding no one there to act as a guardian
Of the peace, he drove rapidly OF to Ke-
nosha, and when the party reached the
livery barn they found Mr.. Ripley and
Sheriff Stahl calmly awaiting their ar
rival They denied any knowledge OF the
crime, but when confronted with the fact
that turkey feathers were laying in the
bed Of the buggy, they "fessed up and
contributed ten dollars to the treas
ury Of Mr. Ripley, who allowed that pro-
ceeding to end it.

FARMERS ATTENTION
The ECONOMY WAGON SPRING

The best Spring in the world
Eight hundred springs were sold in
1887 from September to December,
and all who bought are more than
pleased with them.
It is the most durable spring
made, the coils are of the best
crucible steel and the entire spring
it put up. Of the very best material
and will last for years.
You have only to try the springs
to convince you of tneir value.
They will save your wagon and
your horses, and in hauling grain,
fruits, vegetables, and all the pro
ducts that farmers haul going to
or coming from market with or
without a load, you and your family
will ride as easy and comfortable as

Science In Bread Making.

At the recent annual meeting OF the
American Chemical Society, held in
Washington, ID. G. the question of the
value of carbonate Of ammonia as a
leavening agent in bread, or as used in
baking powders, came up for discussion,
in which Prof Barker, of the University
of Pennsylvania, and President or the
Society; DR.. Richardson, late of the
United States Department of Agriculture
in Washington; DR.. VIM. McMurtrie, late
Prof. of Chemistry in the University of
Hin 1is; Dr. E. III. BARLEY, late Chemist
of the Brooklyn N. Y. Board Of Health
and Prof of Chemistry Of the Long Is
land College, and others took part.
The concensus Of opinion was over
whelming in favor of the employment OF
ammonia 1t was stated as a fact that
the ammonia rendered the gluten of the
flour more soluble than the original glu-
ten, and that the bread in which this
action was produced by carbonate of am
monia must be more digestible and hence
more healthful, and because Of the ex-
IRENE volatility of carbonate OF ammonia
and it's complete expulsion from the bread
in the process of baking, it is one of the
most valuable leavening agents known.
The conclusions arc borne cut by the
very elaborate and exhaustive expert
ments made by Prof. J. w. Mallet, of the
University of Virginia, which show con-
clusively that bread made with baking
powder in which one per cent of carbo-
nate of ammonia is used, in connection
with cream of tartar and soda, is not only
of uniformly better color and texture, but
product more wholesome, because the
ammonia serves to neutralize any organic
or Tactic acids present in the flour.

the remaining three, Connecticut,
West Virginia and Montana, while
the Republicans, having but II to
add, can win with either Indiana or
New York, or with Connecticut and
West Virginia, or with New Jersey
and either Connecticut, West Vir-

It will be seen that New York is
just as necessary to the Democrats

x-Congressman Robert NJ. La
Toilette, of Madison, WIS.,, has
brought down upon himself the in
dignation and wrath of Wisconsin
republicans by his charges against
Senator Philetus Sawyer in relation
to the State Treasury cases. The
ex.Congressman is brother-in-law
of Judge Siebecker, before whom the
Treasury cases were pending, and
he accuses Senator Sawyer of seek
ing to bribe him to use his influence
with the Judge to render decision
agreeable to the Senator's wishes.
Judge Siebecker has since declined
to try the cases and great interest is
felt in the matter in both political
parties. Gov. Peck made the Treas
ury cases an issue in his canvass last
year and the result then has encour-
aged the democratic State Admins
tration to push the suits against for
mer republican State Treasures
with the utmost vigor and determina-
ton. By his charge against Senator
Sawyer, LaFollette has played into
the hands of the enemies. of his
party, proceeding which will not
easily be forgiven by Badger State
republicans. Robert M. La Toilette
was born in Primrose, Wis, June IA,
1855; received collegiate educa-
ton and was graduated at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin in June, 1870;
is a lawyer by profession. He was
elected to the 4qth and reelected to
the 5oth and SYST Congresses as a
republican. He was an unsuccess-
full candidate for reelection last
year.

FIXING 1T Up.

It looks now as II the Democratic
party would next year refuse to
break its previous record for sail
ing under false colors, FOR nomina-
ting Cleveland on a free coinage
platform. Thus the advocates for
free coinage could be urged to
support the ticket because of the
platform and the opponents of
free coinage to support the plat
form because of the well-known
views Of the head Of the ticket.
in the extreme West and South
the party will pose Us the advoca-
tic Of free coinage, pointing with
pride" 10 the platform, while in
the Middle and Eastern States the
voters will be told that the plat
form means nothing and that free
coinage will be impossible with
Cleveland in the Presidential chair.
If these tactics are adopted it will
be but continuation Of the old
Democratic policy or advocating
one thing in one section of the
country and another, or half dozen
others in as many sections. The
National Democratic party has no
convictions which it isn't ready at
all times to barter for a prospect

OUR SENATOR'S

The San Francisco Chronicles
New York correspondent has the
following TO say OF Nevadans:
The Nevada Senators, William
NJ. Stewart and John p. Jones,
have remained in New York
through the Summer 50 far and
each has been kept very busy. In
a broad-brimmed straw sombrero,
Stewart, looking like an ancient
patriarch, has been lying low for
anti-silverites. lie has practically
annihilated the cohorts OF gold as
fast as they dared to couch lanceS.
The more Stewart talks the more
he wants to talk on the favorite
hobby. He has, since warm
weather started in, written 6,432
folios of foolscap, boiled down
int 224 columns of newspaper
print. Why, that amount OF silver
literature would discount even
Senator Jones silver speech.
Some people don't like such read
ing in hot weather. And Senator
Jones? Well, from his airy apart
ments at the Hoffman he has con-
Quoted many business negotia-
tons. Very anxious for a run to
the gold endowed land of Santa
Monica, he has been kept here
and heI eabouts by the enticem ants
and allurements Of new mining
ventures. He discusses silver
ard gold practically-likes to dig
EN- out Of the ground, and take
the profits thereof. Jones can
talk man into almost anything,
because he always believes what
he is talking about. In a former
fchat" | referred to his invest
ments in North Carolina gold
mines. Now / hear he has joined
hands with Wizard Edison and
secured several hundred thousand
acres of magnetic iron ore in
Putnam county, n. Y, and the
mines thereon that were aband-
oned will be revived and worked
by the Edison process, and big
profits are assured. So, while
Stewart is talking, talking, talk
talking, Jones is working for No.
1. Not that he is averse to dis
cussing the silver question. BY
no means. Given a proper op-
portunity and he can out-talk
even his venerable colleague. But
Senator Jones thinks there is a
time and place for everything,
and he has become Indifferent to
newspaper fame.
Frank q. Newlands, fearful
that Senator Stewards silver argul
ments are not forcible enough,
writes a four column sledge-ham-
mer letter which is published, and
all this from Bar Har5or, where
Frank is Summering.

Nina Van Zandt, who married
one of the Chicago anarchists just
before his execution, is again an
applicant for notoriety. She has

that she was merely a dummy to

him.
