This is why the Royal Baking Powder is the
only absolutely pure baking powder made.

Captain j. NJ. Wells, worlds fail

Captain j. NJ. Wells, worlds fair
commissioner, arrived in Weiser last
evening for the purpose of holding a
public meeting to discuss matters
pertaining to the Columbian ex-
position. We regret exceedingly the
circumstances attending his reception.
Some twenty five or thirty persons
congregated in the sample room of
the Vendome and listened to few
remarks, but the majority Of our
prominent citizens had made social
engagements for that evening before
learning the captain was coming.
No doubt Mr.. Wells feels disappointed
but we assure him that had he not
dropped in on such short notice,
but on the other hand have given at
least two weeks notice Of his
coming, so as to allow time for it to
become well known and preparations
made, he would have been rendered a
rousing reception. A hall would
have been ready for him and the entire
town would have turned out.
