HIS THIRD ATTEMPT TO DIE.
The Death-Seeking Portland Printer
Tried it Twice in Seattle.

Thomas Powers, the printer, who attempted
to commit suicide at the Quimby house in Port
land on Wednesday evening, is quite well
known on the Sound and in Eastern Washing
ton. He made two attempts to take his own life
while in Seattle several months ago. Once he
jumped into the bay from the wharf at the foot
of Madison street, and the freboatmen had a
hard time rescuing him. Another time about
six months ago, he took large dose of morphine,
in saloon near the Bellevue hotel, in North
Seattle. He was taken to Providence hospital,
and subsequently recovered from the effects of
the poison.
Powers is g heavy drinker, and both attem pts
on his own life were made while he was suffer
ing from delirium tremens.
He has worked in Ellensburg, Pendleton, The
DaIles and at North Yakima At the last-named
town he was for a long time employed on the
Yakima Farmer, in the mechanical department,
and at The Dalles he worked for a year or more
on the Times M0antGineer. At the latter place
he has a married sister named Mrs frankie Fitz-
gerald.
The exact cause OF Powers discomfort with
life is not known, but it dates from the time of
his sisters marriage to Fitzgerald 1t is said
that he objected to the marriage, and it is
known that Immediately after the ceremony he
began drinking and has been drunkard ever
since.

ing of the Seattle & Montana railroad will be

bers of the Chamber Of Commerce and the

Does it Contain Ammonia ?

The charge is being made that the Royal Baking
Powder contains We would have supposed that
the emphatic condemnation of ammonia baking powders
by the eminent physicians throughout the land and
the fact of the three leading chemists of Minnesota max
ing report Senate Committee recently showing
that bread baked with the "Royal" contained ammonia
and the hostility being manifested by the public
against all and alum baking powders would have
driven them permanently from the market.
In view of the fact that Baking Powder has become
indispensable article in every Kitchen it is gratifying
to know that there brands market to which no
suspicion of any kind has attached. Dr. Prices
Cream Baking Powder is pure of powder
free from every faint of ammonia other harmful
substance.

ported by all authorities free from Ammonia
Alum, or any other adulterant. In fact the
purity of this ideal powder has never been ques-
toned.

RAINIER HOTEL TO BE SOLD.
Stockholders at Last Nights Meeting
Voted to Dispose Of 1t.

Last night the Rainier hotel stockholders held
a meeting and appointed a committee of five,
consisting OF Jacob Furth, Amos Brown, A. A.
Denny, W r. Ballard and A. B. Stewart, to act
with the trustees in negotiating a sale of the
property. The trustees are Herman Chaplin, W.
Z. Bailey and Frank Hanford. This committee
is authorized to use its own judgment in regard
to the best time for putting the property on the
market and the price to be obtained. The sale
will be private, and the probability is that it
will not take place for several months.

The Health Onacer Has q Hundred Men at
1.-THE Proposed New Contract.
We still have a garbage service. The health
department continues to be at the head of a
service consisting Of so wagons, 100 horses and

doubtful whether he is at the head Of the
health Office or the manager Of a
big hauling establishment. The work
Of removing the back accumulation
Of garbage as well as the days deposit. how
ever, goes steadily on, and something like l4O
tons of garbage are taken out each day, which,
the health officers say, is forty or fifty tons
more than was formerly removed in twenty
four hours.
How is the question of the removal to be
finally settled? From present prospects by the
signing of another contract with some per-
son or persons as yet unknown. When q
STAR reporter visited the health Of
fee today DR.. Hammett and the
departments chief clerk. Mr.: Bayly, were por-
ing over lot Of papers which will ultimately
resolve themselves into the requirement. which
will be attached to the new contract The
Commissioners have already advertised for bids
for the removal of garbage for the re-
mainder Of the fiscal year and the health
department is modifying the old requirements
of the service as much as possible without in
juring the integrity Of the service. As the
work will be for only nine months the required
equipment will not be 90 complete for one
thing. DIR. Hammett il of opinion that q con-
tractor will be found and the service arranged
satisfactorily.
