Fatal Accident.

Arthur jenkins, aged about years, a
son of Elder j. W. Jenklng. of Rockland,
WASH, was found this morning about half.
past o'clock, nearly half mile from the
corset factory dead, with his skull frac.
tured and his body bruised in several places.
He was sent yesterday evening at half past
6 o'clock to hunt COW which had wandered
away. on u pony which was considered
gentle. Not returning at dusk the father
became alarmed and instituted search.
He and the neigbbors hunted all night, and
at the hour mentioned the horse came up to
Mr.. Jenkins, as though to give him notice
that something serious had happened. A
little distance from the animal was found
the lifeless form of the boy, The fracture
in the skull was about three inches in
length, and was of such a nature as would
have caused instant death. 1t was evl-
IDENTIFY received from falling on sharp rock
and not from a kick bv the horse. There
were also signs of the animal having
jumped several times, and of it and the boy
having been wound around in the trail rope
attached to the saddle, although, when
found, both were free from its coils. 1t is
surmIsed the boy was thrown from the
morse by it "bucking'' and instantly killed.
with the trail rope in his hands. In Its
fright the pony must have jumped around
considerable and became entangled in the
rope until it freed itself. This Is very
deplorable accident. and Elder and Mrs.
Jenkins will receive the sympathy of the
community in their sad bereavement.
The funeral will take place to morrow
murning at 10 o'clock from the residence at
North Dalles and at ii o'clock from the
Congregational church in this city. Elder
Barnett will conduct the services at the
house and Rev. W. G. Curtis at the church

THE MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE.
Looking After the Alum and Ammo
MIA Bakins Powders.
Portl md Oregonian.

|
A bill for an act in relation to the manufac.
ture and sale of baking powders, to prevent
fraud and preserve the public health, has been
introduced in the legislature at St. Paul. The
bill is intended to prevent the adulteration Of
baking powders with alum or ammonia, i'm
posing proper penalties to enforce the law.
DR.. o. S. Binswanger, professor of chemis-
try, etc., medical department, University OF
Oregon, made an examination some time ago
of the baki ing powders found in the Portland
stores, the result of which appeared in the
Oregonian. DIR. Binswanger then expressed
himself as follows:
81 have Just finished an analysis of the prin.
cipal baking powders sold in this market, with
the following startling results:
"'Hercules' This powder contains ammo
MIA.
"sCrystal.' This powder contains alum.
"'Double Quick This powder contains
alum.
"'Silver STAR This powder contains alum.
"'White Lily, This powder contains
alum
".Dr. Prices Cream Baking Powder This
is pure cream of tartar baking powder, and
the only brand tree from alum, ammonia or
any impurity."
Following is list of the more widely
known brands that DR.. Drew, chemist for the
Minnesota State Dairy and Food Commission,
as well as others chemists OF high standing,
have examined and found to contain alum,
some of which contain both alum and ammo
mia. Many of the alum and ammonia pow
ders are labeled and advertized as absolutely
pure" to mislead the public. The condemned
powder given in this list are sold pretty gen.
orally through Oregon and Washington:
""Calumet," "Forest City," "Grants Bon
Bon," "Hotel," "Globe," "Puritan," Snow
Ball." Government" "Palace," "Loyal,"
columbia" "Home," "Monarch, !" "Unriv-
aled," "Chicago Yeast" "Echo," "Perfec-
tion," "White Rose" "Hatchet," Grown" ,"
In addition to above list, there are many
brands sold with prize. 1t is safe to reject
all baking powders sold with prize, as the
tests show they are composed largely of alum
and costs but few cents pound. Also re
fuse any baking powder sold for twenty-five
cents pound, or less; it is sure to contain
alum.
Surely nothing but their cheapness could
induce the public to experiment with these
impure powders at the risk of health. Aside
from the question of the health or wholesome
ness of these condemned lowders, and viewed
from the standpoint OF economy alone, pure
cream of tartar baking powder, such as DIR.
Binswanger and other high authorities report
DIR. Prices to be, and from its greater known
strength and unquestioned purity should prove
more economical to the user in every way.

Short in Her Accounts,

The Baker City Democrat learns from q
prominent citizen of Grant county that the
quiet neIghborhood of Canyon City is con.
siderably stirred up over the announcement
that the postmistress of that place, Mrs. G.
W. Parrish, Is short in her accounts with
the government in the sum of about $25OO
The shortage developed when the U. s.
postal inspector, now at Canyon City, went
over the books of the Office. The lady s
bondsmen have been notified and they will
be compelled to make the shortage good.
Mrs. Parish is the wife of attorney Z. W.
Parrish, an estImable lady heretofore, and
1t is the supposltion that members of her
family have brought about the emtrrassing
predicament in which she finds herself. 1t
is hoped that Mrs. Parrish will be able to
exonerate herself from all blame.

A Late Report From Arbor pax,

Aibor Day in school district No. 81 was
appropriately observed with national pride
ard enthusiasm. Decorations of evergreens,
and profusion of wild flowers rendered the
schoolroom bower OF delight to the eye.
National songs and recitations, relative to
the day, characterized the exercises. Tree
planting was abandoned, as Natures kind
hand has planted more trees than our wor-
thy directors seem to appreciate. for Director
Ditchtenmuller has devoted his valuable
time to removing some of the stately mon
archs that graced our beautiful ground. An
address emphasizing the observance of Ar
Dor Day closed the exercises.

into the water. For some time afterwards
he was seen with his head above the water,
battling manfuly with the turbulent rapid d;
but when about half mile down he disap-
peared from view and never rose to the sur.
face again. 1t was impossible to reach him
in boat as the water runs with sucn veloc.
ity that no craft could keep from being
swamped. The unfortunate person was
young man about 25 years old. unmarried,
and had been at work around the fishery
since early spring. Up to the time of 60
ing to press the body had not been recov-
cred, and it is very doubtful If it ever will,
as several have been drowned ear this city,
whose bodies have been carried away by the
Columbia and never seen again.

Thieves at North Powder.

Some time Sunday night at North Pow.
der thieves entered the store OF Gorham
Rothchild, effecting an entrance through
one of the windows IN the rear of the store.
The robbers got about $40 in money. The
safe was unlocked by means of a chisel OF
some fiat instrument, and they pred cut
the safe drawers and took the steel drawer
containing about $1,000 In notes with them.
Monday afternoon Mr.. G. A. Casper, while
gong to work, discovered IN Lun's
field just across the railroad track, and on
examination of the box 1t proved to be the
safe drawer. The contents were all in it.
The box had been placed in such position
that it was easily discovered The damage
to the safe is considerable.

Trains DELAYED.

A burned bridge, at Mosier Friday morn
ing, delayed freight traffic on the railroad
for few hours. The midnight passenger
tram from the west passed over all right,
but the west. bound which arrived at $40
returned to The Dalles until the bridge was
repaired. 1t was twilight when the bridge
was reached, and the locomotive just
stopped in time to save itself from going
over the embankment. Seyen bents had
been destroyed by the flames, and the re-.
naming ones were saved by extra exertlons
on the part of the railroad men. As soon
as the accident was known force of work.
men were sent from this city, and the dam
age repaired as quickly as possible. The
afternoon train, due here at o'clock, did
not arrive until Z, being delayed seven
hours.
