OR ALUM.
How to Detect Them.


Ammonia and alum are the most COM
mon adulterants used in the manufacture
of baking powders. The government re-
port shows that a large percentage of the
baking powders on the market contain
either one or the other, or both these
pernicious drugs. Ammonia particularly
is IN very general use.
This wholesale use in an article of daily
food, of n of the most injurious poisons
is simply criminal. Slow ammonia poi
soning produces disease of the stomach
and is particularly injurious to the COM
plexion. The presence of ammonia or
alum in a baking powder, however, can
be easily detected.
TO DETECT AMMONIA.
Mix one heaping %teaspoonful of baking
powder with n te%aspoonful of water IN
a tin cup; boil thoroughly for a few mo-
ments, stir to prevent burning and if
ammonia is present you can smell it in
the rising steam. Or, place a can of the
suspected powder top down on a hot
stove for a minute or two, then take off
the cover and smell.
TO DETECT ALUM.
Alum powder can be tested by putting
a couple.of teaspoonfuls of the powder in
a glass Of cold water. If no effer-
vescence chat is, bubbling or simmer
ing) takes place, condemn the powder
and return it at once.
Take one-half teaspoonful of baking
powder in lid of say half pound can:
char thoroughly over a strong alcohol
flame, d good gas jet, or red hot Goals.
After charring Chat is, burning until the
whole mass is black) pour a little vine-
gar into the lid and smell the fumes.
Alum powders give off sulphuretted
hydrogen, which may be detected by it's
foul odor.
DR.. Prices Cream Baking Powder is
reported by all authorities as free from
alum, ammonia, or any other adulterant
Died.
At Sterling, July Is, 1892, Gribble.
John.
Mr.. G1ibble was born in Cornwall, Eng
land. He came 70 America in 1889 and
settled in Hazel Green, Wis, where he
lived forty-fve years, and was engaged
in different occupations. He came to
Sterling, North Dakota, in the fall of
1885, where he has since been in the mer-
chandise business. Mr.. Gribble was a
constant sufferer for five monthe from
inflammation of the bowels. He was a
man OF integrity and greatly esteemed
by all who knew him. He recently Joined
the Methodist church, and during his ill.,
ness he trusted in the God that made
him, and esteemed the rock of his saliva
ton; he gave evidence in his last con-
scious hours that he would be peacefully
gathered to his rest. Funeral address
was delivered July %, 2 p. M, at the
Presbyterian church by Rev. G. D. Lock

The Midgets.

Inc luSetS
Probably nothing less than a circus
would have attracted such a crowd as
gathered at the depot Wednesday after.
noon to catch a glimpse of the only and
original world renowned Mrs. Gen. Tom
Thumb, and the count and Baron Magri.
The little folks were the cynosure of all
eyes as they stepped from the train.
These persons are very small indeed.
They would not attract attention y
where or account of their size and
would never be noticed in a large gather
ing unless because OF their diminutive
persons. The countess is a motherIy
looking little woman, and all of them in
the expressive language of the children,
are "cute."
The carriage and ponies also attracted
their full share of attention, as they
were unloaded from the baggage car
The whole combination is constructed
on a rather small scale.

On Thursday night Policeman Marsh
discovered a fire in the Northern Pacific
baggage room, and gave an alarm Of fire.
The cry was taken up, and with it's
usual and commendable quickness the

Riley and some others before any dam
age was done, and no assistance from
the fire company was found necessary.
The cause of the fire was the melting
and catching of the oil of a defective tin
lamp. The fire as it was didn't amount
to much, but never was building any
nearer to destruction.
ooh, if I had only taken this medicine
earlier in life, what years of suffering it
would have saved me!' was the touching
exclamation of one who had been cured
of rheumatism by the use of Ayers Sar-
saparilla. Scores of such cases are on
record.
She Merely Pressed the Button.
A tall and elegantly dressed lady whom
nobody knew walked into the Office of the
Palace the other night. A big crowd was
around. The place was thronged with
eastern editors, and outside, bordering the
circular driveway, there was a rattle and
crashing of baggage, for hacks and car
riages had just arrived from the overland
train with passengers.
Over a dozen persons stood before the
desk, valises and satchels in hand, waiting
to be registered. Clerks stood, pen in hand,
or disappeared and then came into view
again like automatons OF an oiled track.
The lady asked for a messenger, having
penciled her namei in a brief note on a card.
She was in a hurry, asd deemed the mat
ter in hand Of prime Importance. Slight
imperiousness was noticed in her manner.
1t grew stronger as she paused there for
the messenger to come. Then, as if she
would end it all at once, and with the
words. II will ring for n myself" de
picted on her face, she reached for the bel
and gave it a cordial punch.
Utter darkness fell upon the bustlina
throngs throughout the building. Her
hand had fallen upon the electric key
board, and every light went out. There
were s~peculations of establishment and
chagrin. and the stiffness was broken at
intervals by a dozen questions.
The clerks sprang to the seat of the diff
Guilty, and when at length the light was
turned on the crowd noticed the figure of
the impetuous lady vanishing as quietly
and rapidly as possible from their aston
ished gaze. She never came back.-San
Francisco Examiner.

The Stock Industry,


Western North Dakota is one of the
best countries in America for the rails
ing and maturing of live stock. This
fact is admitted by all stock growers
and not only do they admit the fact, but
they evince their confidence by putting
in each year, thousands of head of cattle
to mature upon the nutritious grasses of
the Missouri and Little Missouri slopes.
OF the number of cattle that have
been shipped into North Dakota the
present year, it would be difficult to
form an accurate estimate, as numbers
of small c~onsignments have been re-
ceived, and Of them no notice taken,
But it ear be said that tho number of
cattle in the state is increasing each
year. Diversified farming has been en-
tered into by all who have looked into
the profits to be derived therefrom.
Thousands upon thousands of cattle
and horses feed upon the broad prairies
of the state, and everything points to the
ultimate recognition by all of the ad.
vantages of stock raising. Sheep
raising, also, is beginning, upon
its merits, to attract attention
from those spectators who have money
to invest in money-malsing enterprises.
Within the past few years it has de-
veloped from a barely recognized occu-
patton into n of the irmest industries
ID the state. 1t is gradually dawning
upon the farmer that he can combine
this business proftably with his farm.

have been cited recently the profits are
seen to be enormous. Too much cannot
be said to induce a good, healthy invest.
ment in sheep. And with care and
proper attention sheep will thrive and
continue to bring dollars into the pockets
of their owners.

Their names are James Broderick, who
will serve the state for 5 years; Robert
Broderick, his brother, who will dwell in

Sheriff O'Connor says the men watched
like hawks for an opportunity to make
a dash for liberty, while being brought
here, but no chance was given them.
After deposlting his charges at the
~penitentiary, the sheriff, III company
with Warden Haggart and several
friends, made a tour of the city, and
took in the sights, although the excess
sive heat shortened their drive consid-
erably. The sheriff left for Pembina on
the evening train, this being his second
trip to Bismarck with prisoners within
the last month.
