Yuma, Arz., giving important news concerning
the movements of +. |. Fish and the two Breed
loves, who died in the desert after June Is. A
trusted Indian named Geronimo Elizedo says
that Fish and young Breedlove were at his camp
near the Cocopah mountains on June B. Fish
said he had found a rich silver mine, and later,
seeing rock from Geronimo's mine. went with
him to inspect the ledge the next day, arrang-
ing to purchase. The two left on the 25th 10 re-
turn 70 the wagon and the elder BreedIove.
They refused a guide for water, ana were last
seen alive on the afternoon Of June 70 going
toward Palm Springs. The Indian thinks they
must have died in the hot desert winds that
blew on June 80 and July and 8, being the
most terrible ever known On the desert.

of the friends, alternates and proxies
thereof, who are going to Olympia by
special train at a. m. tomorrow, will
wear frizzy President Harrison high hats.
Colonel Coiner, who leads the delegation,

this headgear. C.. A. Murray, who the

ing either an attorney general, secretary
or a governor, besides Doolittle for con-
gress. Sheriff Price seems confident of
his chances for secretary of state, and

events will tide him in for attorney gen.
eral, while w. H. Calkins' friends init
mate that lightning VIII strike frequently
at the coming state convention, therefore,
Mr.. Calkins may not be considered out of
the gubernatoriai race until after the nom-
inations are made.

to wear beside Harrison hats. blue badges
inscribed "Pierce County for Doolittle,
forty-five delegates strong"

kane, and J. s. Mcmillan are among those
discussed for temporary chairman. If

Illinois Democrats Prefer . Campaign
on State Issues Only.

CHICAGO, Aug. S-The Democratic state
central committee met here today and de-
cided not to open the campaign in Illinois
until September. although the Republic.
ans will open the fight August Is. The
proposition to invite Grover Cleveland
to visit did not find favor
with the party leaders. Most of
them believed the educational question
and other state issues offered greater OPP
portunities of success, and deemed it ad-
visable not to take any action which
would tend to divide Illinois voters on
strict party lines this fall.

Housekeepers are complaining of new
pest even more annoying than the old
peddler nuisance. This is the self-styIed
baking powder ''testeF,u who is EMPLOYED
to work the stale tricks OF baking
powder concern that is trying to intro
duce here one Of the lower-grade baking
powders. This concern employs num-
Der OF respectable appearing women to go
from house to house and make what they
call a test" of baking powders, with the
concealed intent OF condemning every
kind except the one they recommend or
peddle. No thoughtful housekeeper need
be told that such persons are not compe-
tent to make true or reliable test of any
baking powder; only expert chemists
can do that. As matter of fact so ic-
norant are these people that, where two
samples of baking powder from the same
package have been given them to operate
upon, they have pronounced one good
and the other bad and they falsely con-
denim, as impure, baking powders of the
greatest reputation, that are certified by
the highest medical and official authori-
ties as pure, wholesome and the best in
the market.
An evidence Of the fraudulent character
OF these alleged tests is shown by the fact
that where, i'll several instances, the ped
dlers have unknowingly been given their
own baking powder to examine, they
have, supposing it to be another, con-
demned it as adulterated.
Methods of this kind indicate not only
ignorance, but a sad lack of business
honor, and will be neither respected nor
influential among housekeepers, who in
fact resent the insinuation that they are
so ignorant as not to know the Quality of
the baking powder they have been using
Tor so many years.
