THE COLUMBIAN PROJECT.
The Twin-City Committee to Meet
Again Tonight.
Everybody Anxious to Help Along the
UBds rtakiDg in Which Rock
Island and Moline Have In
terestPd ThemseIV,

The Twin,City Columbian committee
meet sgsin tonight a. the rooms of the
Rock Island Citizens Improvement asso
citation, and the attendance of all
pected. The meeting promises to be one
of particular importance, as the appoints
ment Of the committee on solicitation of
subscriptions 10 stock is to be an i'm
portant item. The joint committee is
anxious now to complete its work, raise
the capital stock desired and turn the ex
position project over TO the incorporators,
in the election of officers in which every
stockholder will, of course, have voice.
Ii is necessary 20 have the full amount
of the capital stock subscribed before the
! incorporation can be closed, but it is not
essential that il be all called in. The
method of collecting the dues adopted by
the committee will make the payments
easy to sll subscribers. The shares are
to be placed at SO each and
only 81. so will be due on each share on
the organization of the company. Three
months later another $3.50 at six months
50 so and the final So 90 at the
end of Years time. Consequently the
stockholders will hardly miss their sub
scriptiOns, ard in fact have a years time
in which to pay for their shares. They
get them on the instailment plan and on
the most reasonable basis conceivable.
The exposition is intended, let The ARGUS
repeat, for all our people, and it is that
the people who are 10 own and ENJOY it
shall have the least burdensome method.of
obtaining their properly that the commit,
tee has devised such plan of payments.
That it will meet with the approval of
the masses of the people whose enter
prise this undertaking is. THE ARGUS feels
confident.

277s Difference

Whether any other baking powder is equal to
Royal" let the official reports decide. When
the different powders were purchased on the open
market and examined by Prof Chandler, of the
New-York Board of Health, the result showed that
Royal Baking Powder contained twenty-seven
per cent. greater strength than any other brand
When compared in money value, this difference
would be as follows:
If one pound of Royal Baking Powder sells
for 50 cents,
One pound of no other powder is worth
3o cents.
If another baking powder is forced upon you
by the grocer in place of the Royal, see that you
are charged the correspondingly lower price

for in quality. The prune crop will be

THE MURDER CASE.
When the Chinese murder case came
up in the superior court this morning
the defendant was put on the stand, it
being his desire to cay something in his
own behalf, though his counsel was
much adverse to the proceedings. His
name was given as Anthony Vital; was
35 years old, and native of Smyrna.
Italy. He had, previous to arriving in
Santa Barbara. been handy man about
a saloon in San Bernardino. These facts
were about all that could be learned
about him, or his connection with the
crime charged. Though he spoke forty
five minutes without an interruption,
his talk was of such a rambling, broken
character it was impossible to under
stand his meaning. He pleaded a "pe-
culiar naturalization of the brain," and
that he was troubled with dyspepsia /;
that the reason for his roaming about
the country and why he should be hug
ging the seabeach and out-of-way places,
was because of his dyspeptic condition.
He did this because the air was pure
and the walk helped him to digest his
food.
At IL O'Clock short recess was taken
and his counsel raised the question of
the defendants mental condition. The
court allowed the question, and special
jury was impaneled to examine him on
that ground.
At o'clock Vital was again placed on
the stand before a Lew jury. In the
audience were five selected do,tors and
surgeons. The witness was asked ques-
tion upon question, but in every in
stance where an answer would criminate
himself hes cunningly evaded answer.
At $3.50 the doctors were put on the
stand. Each testified that Vital was
not in their mind insane, but a most
cunning criminal. At 4 O'Clock the case
was given to the jury to decide his
sanity.
