Shameful
Confession

1t is shameful confession to
make that many people are
willing to use adulterated arti-
cles because they are cheaper,
and in doing so often subject
ing themselves to injurious
effects, for it must not be
supposed that those who are
willing, at the cost of repu-
tation and for the purpose of
gain, to impose adulterated
goods upon the public, would
hesitate TO use injurious
adulterants.

reputation for manufacturing
good and pure articles, and
lis Delicious Flavoring Ex-
tracts of Vanilla, Lemon, ETC.,

IL TROyATORE TONIGHT.

Tonight III Trovatore' will be present

expected that one of the best houses of
The season will see this performance.
Everything is in readiness, and a first
class production will be given. Each per-
son attending the opera will be presented
with an elegant Autographed souvenir
program. The cast, which is an excep-
tionally good one, will certainly acouit
! themselves in a manner creditabIe to the
musical profession. In no amateur pro-
ductlon could better cast be secured
than the principals in I'll Troyatore

OF III 1rovatore by these amateurs will sur
prise the public. Mr. Carey who takes the
part of the Troubadour will sing his part
In an elegant manner. The count. Mr..
McClung sings his part to perfection and
his singing will certainly be a success.
Fernando, which part will be ably repre-
scented by Mr.. Hammann will be a decided
success. He possesses rich basso voice.
The parts of Leonora will be most sutis-
factorily represented by Mrs Ewing, who

adapted TO her part. Miss Hazel !
Shell sings very sweetly and |
will represent the part of Inez in most |
finished manner. The chorus consisting |
of forty trained voices will be the best |
ever heard in the city. The mems chorus
is an exceptionally strong one, and will be /
a big success. The curtain will raise
promptly at SIS o'clock tonight, as the
opera is quite long. This will positively
be the only production of IlTrovatore in
Wichita on account of the great expense
for costuming aud other ncideutals. The
costumes have arrived and are very gor-
geous aud elegant. The gypsy costumes
are quite picturesque. Some special
scenery has been procured and those miss

No agency has assisted so much toward perfection in

are simple and so blended as to exist in exact chemical pro-
portions, so after use there is never any excess Of either left in
the food. Hence there can be no impurities whatever left in
the finished food. No bitter taste, no faint of ammonia, but
food raised with Dr.: Prices Cream Baking Powder partakes
of the natural sweet flavor of the flour and keeps moist and
fresh for days. This powder possesses qualities peculiar to

solved Until Next Spring.
LONDON, May 28.-A cabinet council was
convened to-day for the special purpose OF
determining the date for the dissolution OF
parliament. Prior to the beginning OF the
cabinet council a number OF the members
had an interview with Mr.. Balfour and m
pressed him with the necessity OF setting
the question of dissolution without delay,
as their personal engagements were para
lyzed and the business of the country was
suffering from he uncertainty in regard 10
the matter. The almost unanimous repre-
sensations which were made to the Con-
sentative Whips with a view of influencing
the cabinet, advised that the dissolution o.
parliament either take place at the eno o.
June or be postponed until the spring OF
1893. The tenor of the communication
made by the whips to members after
the council indicated a decision to pro-
coed with the Irish local government
bill and the abandonment OF the lntehtloh
to resort to total dissolution. Mr.. Baltour
promises a definite declaration on the even
ing Of the Whitsuntlde adjournment. IL Is
understood that Mr.. Bal.our demanded OF
of legislation, even though it be necessary
to adjourn at the end OF July and to hold a
winter session. The decision will enrase
the opposition, who without delay Will re-
sort to every device to obstruct% government
business. but it will! be approved by the
majority OF the Unionists. though it will
embarrass many who relied upon dissolu-
ton in June os inevitable. If the Consery.
atives' anticipations taking :orm tonight
be fulfilled. no Gladstone government Wall
