HE MUSTANG.
The Assassin Of Carter Harrison to
Suffer the Death Penalty.


Chicago. Dec 29.-Prendergast, the
murderer of Carter II. Harrison, will
be hanged for his crime. The verdict
OF the jury has said so, and the people
OF Chicago approve it. Ably defend
ed as the assassin has been, strong as
has been the evidence adduced to
save his neck from the halter, the jury
has found him sane and responsible
for bis act and demand that he pay
the highest price for his offence against
the law This price, however, is a
sorry one at the best. The valne to
the world of one life such os that of
Carter II. Harrison would weigh
down the scale against the existence
of one hundred such as Pendergrast.
When the VERDICT of the Jury was
pronounced by the court clerk, the
doomed wretch shiverered at though
with all ague and would have fallen to
the floor had he not caught at his
chair for support. On all sides the
verdict is approved and praised in the
highest terms and nowhere it there
any sympathy for the condemned man
made manifest.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products TO
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
atiye efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval Of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co, only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, yon will not
accept any substitute if offered.

Breckinridgo on the Stump.

A dispatch from Lexington Ky,
announces that George Lockhart has
decided not to make the race for
congress against Col. Brecklnr.dge,
This leaves the fight between Breck-
inridge and w. C. Owens, Breckin
ridge made an address before the ma
sonic lodges who were giving an au-
nual banquet. Miss Pollard's father
was once a grand master mason. This
gave rise to a rumor that the body
would be Breckinridge's enemy, The
reception he received when the ban
quet closed was extremely cordial.
giving no sign of animoslty toward
Mr. Breckenridge from that quarter.
AT the same time it is a settled fact
that many persons who were once
warm friends and sincere admirers OF
the brilliant Kentuckiap, are now pre-
dicted against him by the unfortunate,
"Pollard Scandal" and that it will
take both time aud trouble to remove
this prejudice.

THE ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE
Looking After the Alum and Ammo
mia Baking Powder.

/ @es @~e~@-@@t1 = - =" NN~f
A bill for an act, entitled,:"An act
to regulate the traffic in Baking pow
der" has been introduced IN the legis-
lature at Springfield, by Mr.. Nohe.
The bill is intended to prevent the
adulteration of baking powder with
ammonia and alum, imposing proper
penalties to enforce the law, etc. This
shows an earnest desire on the part of
our representatives to protect their
constituents.
The Chicago Tribune, referring to
the question of legislation on alum
and ammonia baking powders, says
at deals in q direct manner with an
evil that must be put down."
Following is a partial list of the
names of the brands sold in this state
that have been examined and found
to contain either ammonia or alum.
Many of the alum and ammonia pow
ders are labeled and advertised as cab
solutely pure to mislead the public:
Calumet Forest City, Chicago
Yeast Grants Bon Bon,' Hotel Tay-
lors One Spoon Snow Puff Snow
Ball. 'Zipp's Crystal Climax Town
Talk Manhattan, Rocket Evans,
"Little Giant Spot Cash. Echo, EN-
pire,' 'Dodson & Hilps,' 'Shepard's,'
'Bain's' 'Kenton,' tx c. Loyal
In addition to tide above list there
is multitude of brands sold with a
prize. 1t is safe 10 reject all baking
powders sold with prize, as the test
shows they are composed largely of
alum and cost but few cents per
pound. Also refuse any baking pow
der sold at 20 cents a pound, or less;
1t is sure to contain alum.
Surely nothing but their cheapness
could induce to the public to expert
ment with these impure powders. at
the risk of health. Aside from the
question of health or the wholesome
ness of these condemed powders, and
viewed from the standpoint of econo-
my alone, a pure grape cream of tarter
baking powder like "Dr. Prices" from
its greater known strength and un-
questionable purity, will prove more
economical TO the user in every way.

NOT ENTIRELY BAD.

We do not believe that any sensi-
BILE, fair minded man, regards the fed
ersl pension as wholly bad, any more
than he believes II to be altogether
good. The fact being that the pension
system is pretty well mixed up With
both good and bad. The original idea
to pension, and so reward the deien-
ders of u victorious cause, was OF
course, all right, But to burden the
whole people, with grioyous weight
of excessive taxation, for all time to
come, to support and maintain in in
dolence and ease all of the suffers,
camp followers, and adventurous
hangers on, who never caught up with
the army save when 1t was peacefully
encamped, with no enemy in sight,
nor even smelled powder, save when
the guns were being cleaned, after ac'
