HOMESTEAD INDICTMENTS.
True Bills Found Against Participants In
the Alleged Poison Plot.

the Alleged Poison Plot.
True bills have been returned by tho
grand jury against District Master
Workman Dempsey Of the Knights Of
Labor, Robert Beatty, Patrick Gala
CHER, and j. NJ. Davidson on six counts
Of administering poison to non-union
men at Homestead. The trials will be
fixed for a date as early as possible.
When the cases were presented to the
grand jury one Of the Carnegie attor-
neys said the total number OF deaths SO
far caused by the poison was thirty-two.
They have heard from this number, but
there are probably other deaths OF which
they have had no knowledge, The ma
jority Of the nonunionists were residents
OF other States. After taking sick, most
of them were furnished tickets to their,
homes. A great many were lost sight
OF after this. and it is impossible to say
whether the men died or recovered.
Scores of men, the attorney said, were
still sick. Some OF them have the poi
son in their systems SO thoroughly that
they will never recover their full health.
What the poison was the company Is yet
unable to say. Chemists are still at
work on it.
The attorneys for the defendants say
the Carnegie Company has made out a
poor case, on account OF being unable
to say what kind Of poison was used.
An effort is being made to have Coroner
Mcdowell exhume the remains OF a
number of workmen, who it was claimed
died in the mill OF typhoid fever.

II you want the best food, you will be interested
In the following facts, which show why "Royal"

and most wholesome food, and why its use has
become almost universal its sale greater in this
country than the sale Of all other cream Of tartar

1t is combined from tho most approved

1t makes food that will keep sweet, moist
and fresh longer, or that may he eaten hot
and fresh with impunity.
The reasons why the Royal Baking Powder is
superior to all others in these respects are easily
stated. One is because it IS made from chemically
pure materials; another is because it is made with
greater care and accuracy than any other. 1t is
always uniform in composition and leavening
power. 1t has been the standard baking powder
since its introduction. The founder and COM
