DEMAND THE DIFFERENCE.

In buying baking powders, as we'll as any
thing else, insist upon having the worth of
your money. If another brand is urged upon
you in place of the Royal, bear in mind that
it has from u to 50 per cent less leavening
strength than the Royal, as shown by the off,
cial chemical tests, which is equal to from 13s5
to cents per- pound lessvalue than the Royal.
If you buy low class powder, see that you
are charged correspondingly lower price.

Six years ago Harrington abducted a

he induced her to live with him.
Robert Ravcr, tho father, had Har-
rinston arrested and he was sent to the
Western pcnitentiary for four years.
When his term expired he returned to
Garfield and threatened to kill the girl
ii she did not 20 with him. Her
parents interiered and he tlourishel 4
revolver and said he would have the
girl r'kill tho whole family. He was
arrested again and was sent to tho PEN
itcntiary for fifteen months. This an
gered him and he sworc, he would
have revenge. He was released few
days ago and last night called at Raver's
house and demanded to SEQ tho girl.
The door WAS closed on him and he pro-
cccded to break it down, when young
Raver took a Winchester rifle and shot
him dead, the bullet entering the
brain. Raven gave himself up, but the
coroner's jury brought in verdict OF
self-dciense. Public sentiment is unan-
