Housekeepers
Should Remember.

The Government Chemists, after having analysed
all the principal brands of baking powder in the
market, in their reports placed the Royal" at the
head of the list for strength, purity and wholesome
ness; and thousands of tests all over the country
have further demonstrated the fact that its qualities
are, in every respect, unrivaled.
Avoid all baking powders sold with a gift or
prize, or at a lower price than the Royal, as they in
variably contain alum, lime or ~sulphuric acid, and
render the food unwholesome.

a special from Topeka says; "a rail-
road ticket brokers office has been in
successful operation here for number
of years, under the direction of w. W.
Webb. His success has been matter
of some surprise to railroad men, hut
nothing crooked could be dcveloned In
his methods, Within the past few weeks,
however, II was discovered that Webb
was using Santa l'c tickets upon which
the limit of time had expired, and was
making the necessary extensions IN tho
name OF George r. Nicholson, general
ticket agent. Upon complaint of this
office Webb was arrested this afternoon
ON charge of forgery. The sheriff took
possession Of the office and found there u
rubber extension stamp bearing Nichol-
sons name, aud which enabled him to
renew and revive any old ticket of that
road by making the proper extension
over the signature of the general pas
senger agent \ similar stamn was also
found in his Office bearing the signature
OF John Sebastian, general ticket agent
Of the Rock Island road, and IL is pre-
sumed that the same improper use has
been made Of IL in handlng Rock Isl
aud tickets. These stamps are IA COM
mon use In the general ticket offices, and
II Is not known whether Webb gained
possession OF them Wfohgihilyi or nuu
duplicates made from Impressions on
tickets. Webb was placed In Jail by the
sheriff. but was released ON bond of
$1,000 furnished by his wife He was
subsequently rearrested on another war
rant sworn out by w. j. Black. assistant
general ticket and passenger agent of the
Santa Fe. II Is claimed that Webb has
been using this extension stamp for two
years, and has defrluded the company
of large amount of money as he was
so well equipped that he could make any
old ticket as good us new. REGARDLESS of
Its limitation. Webb has had the repu-
tation of being shrewd and active
young business man, and was somewhat
prominent In society. He was married
