Basis For Hebert's Not Moving.

Investigation of the question of the
right of the city authorities to remove
J. 0. Hebert's art gallery and other
buildings from the so called extension
of Oak Street where it projects into the
| Wisconsin river, has elucidated the fact
that the West boundry line Of the city
of Grand Rapids extends only to the
east bank or the east meandered line
of the Wisconsin river The charter
says, all of certain territory therein
specified (which lies east of the Wis
consin river: While the boundaries
of the city of Centralia extend by ex-
press provision of its charter to the
F'Center line of the main channel Of the
| Wisconsin river, thus leaving the en-
| tire east half of the river, and all of the
east bank which lies below the
meandered line, including the large
and valuable island, where the foundry
and the Touring mill are situated and
the large and valuable Neeves island
not within the limits of any town, city,
or village organization.
This peculiar situation is suggestive
of several legal questions of consider
able consequence.
1st. Can the city of Grand Rapids
lawfully assess, levy and collect taxes
upon the Neeves island or the~ foundry
island or upon any real estate not with
in its corporate limits, or defined by its
charter?
I'd Has the city any riparian rights
such as the owner of the fee would
have?
Sd If a saloon or brewery were es-
tablished on the Neeyes island could
the city impose tax or collect license?
4th If any offense against the city
ordinances was committed there or on
any of the waters of the Wisconsin
river east of the center line of the main
channel, could the Police Justice take
jurisdiction of the offense would it be
within his territory?
5th Any child can ask questions, who
can answer?

THE ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE
Looking After the Alum and Ammonia Baking
Powder.
[Chicago Inter Ocean.

[Chicago Inter Ocean.
A bill for an act, entitled can Act to
Regulate the Traffic in Baking Powder" "
has been introduced in the Legislature
at Springfield, by Mr.. Nohe. The bill
is intended to prevent the adulterations
of baking powders with Ammonia or
Alum, imposing proper penalties to en-
force the law, etc. This shows an earn
est desire on the part of our representa-
tives to protect their constituents.
The Chicago Tribune, referring to the
question of legislation on Alum and AM
monia baking powders, says: "It deals
in direct manner with an evil that
must be cut down."
"Following is 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 powders are
labeled and advertised as absolutely
pure to mislead the public
Calumet" ''Forest City" "Chicago
Yeast" "Grant's Bon Bon," "Hotel, .
"Snow Ball." ''Zipp's Crystal" ''Mon-
arch," "Western Prince" echo, u
"Perfection, "White Rose" " "Daisy," "
"Hatchet," yankee" "Grand Uuion, u
Electric Light" standard"
In addition to the above list there is a
multitude of 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 cost
but few cents per pound. Also refuse
any baking powder sold at twenty-five
cents pound, or less; it is sure to con.
tain alum.
Surely nothing but their cheapness
could induce the public to experiment
with these impure powders at the risk
of health. Aside from question Of health
or the wholesomeness Of these con-
| demned powders, and viewed from the
standpoint of economy alone, a pure
cream of tartar baking powder like Or
Price's," from its greater known
strength and unquestioned purity, viii
prove more economical to the user III
every way.

BASE BALL GAMES.

The Twin City base ball club made its
first trip to Neillsvllle on Saturday last.
They boarded the Green Bay train al
10:17 a. m. and travelled a distance OF
about IS miles, reaching their destin-
alton at 1:30 p. m. Took dinner at the
O'Neil House and then repaired to the
ball park, where they expected to wipe
the diamond with the Neillsville nine.
But 10! how surprised the boys looked
when the Neillsville battery, with Mr..
Frank Kulp in the box, took their places
and commenced their work of one, two,
three strikes and out. However, the
boys finally succeeded in making a few
hits, and at the end of the ninth inning
the score stood to 6 in favor Of Neills-
vile. But in the second game the boys
almost failed to find him, and at the end
of the game the score was IL and 3 in
favor Of Nelllsyille. The boys of our
club were somewhat disappointed with
the way the games turned out, but are
pleased with the people of that city, as
there is nothing but the highest of
praises spoken in their behalf, and to
Mr.. Matthew McRaith they express
hearty thanks for his kindness in show
ing them around the city. The games
were undoubtedly the quietest ever
played in that or any other city in
the northern part Of the state, as there
was none of the usual kicking, quarrel
ing, etc., so common in games. Mr..
Frank Carly of this city, and'Mr Glass,
of NeilIsville acted as umpires, which
position they filed to perfection. We
hope to see the boys in our city soon to
cross bats on our grounds.

theme was ''Nationalism" viewed from
the standpoint presented in Bellamy's
Looking Backward. She presented the
ideal future in practical and howery
language. Her oration was we'll written
but her voice lacked strength to make
itself heard throughout the large hall.
Miss Hachez was the class valedictorian.
In fitting words she thanked the friends,
the school board and teachers for their
kindness and liberality, for the good
will and money that had been spent in
behalf of the school. To the teachers
through whose tireless efforts much
of the honor won, has been made
possible, she gave in behalf of the class
of 1913 grateful thanks and remembrance.
Her remarks were interspersed with
apt poetical quotations and she finished
the greeting to her classmates in Long
fellows words:
LET us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to watt
Next came the comforting of diplomas
by Prof. Luehr who with glowing words
babe the class adieu and God speed.
Citizens and patrons generally are high
ly pleased with the work Of Prof. Luehr
and his corps of assistants. He is
thorough and painstaking. He aims
high in the requirements of the school,
and is heartily seconded by teachers
that are second to none in the state.
The enthusiasm of teachers and princi-
pal carry the pupils through most diff
cult tasks, and tedious reviews. Their
unwearied devotion to the good of the
pupils has been far reaching in its re-
suits and formed bond of friendship
between teachers and pupils that will
color all their after life The class of
'03 add new laurels to the reputation of
each teacher, and brings nothing but
credit to the Howe High school.
The musical program was rendered
with the skill and perfection that
characterizes the Twin City Band where
ever they play. An annoying feature
of the evening was the talking and
shutting of some of the younger guests,
and later the exit of a number just be-
fore the last number by the band. We
are assured no discourtesy was meant
and doubtless the leaders had good
reasons for hurrying, but as is always
the case, if one or two start others will
follow from sheer thoughtlessness, and
it is embarrassing in the extreme to
those who are forced to go on with the
part assigned them. The Twin City
Band are never tedious, never need be
cut short in their effort to give pleasure

DON'T REMAIN

That money will buy just as
much in one place as another, it
wont, it never did and it never will.
There is bound to be difference,
sometimes big and sometimes little,
but always a difference. Just the
same methods make the difference.
Big prices go with old fashioned
notions, modern methods bring
little prices in their train. Are
you close buyer? Do you un-
derstand that fractions count up
into a large amount during the
course of a year? If you have
that in mind when you buy, we
have that in mind when we sell.
That is the way we sell our

CARING FOR THE SAILORS.
A New Work the Port Society Has
Undertaken.

Savannah people are quite familiar
work it is doing.
Mention was made in the MORNING
News some time ago of the dormitory to
be opened in connection with the reading
rooms at the corner of Bay and Lincoln
streets for the accommodation of the sea-
men who visit this port during the sum-
mer months, and who have to sleep
ashore throughout that period. The
plan has been put into operation and
under the care of MIR. Iverson, chaplain
of the society, has been running very sue
cesSfully since June.
The dormitOry is fitted up with SO
single beds, always kept neat and clean,
and which are almost always occupied
The only cause that the society has for
regret is that its accommodation are not
sufficient for the demand of the appli-
cants from the various vessels arriving
daily in port, and who seek accommoda-
tions from the society Immediately upon
arrival, in many instances.
Aside from the dOrmitory, the reading
rooms are filled every evening with these
seamen who find there place of welcome
where they can spend their leisure hours
reading, writing, smoking or playing
games.
The storm brought to light new work
that the society can do, that of dis
tributing clothing to the shipwrecked sea
men who are brought here in many
instances with only the clothing on their
backs, and that most frequently very
scant, Last Sunday an appeal was made
from the pulpits of the various churches
to the community at large for any attire
that could be given and sent to the so
cietys rooms for the relief of these ship
wrecked seamen. The MORNING News
seconds this appeal, which has
| already been very literally
responded to. The chaplain of the so
ciety has been able, by this means, to
furnish several with sufficient clothing to
enable them to go to sea again. Any
clothing, both outer and under garments
shoes and hats that can be given to the
society for this distribution, in which
particular care is taken, will be gladly re
ceived and if those who are unable tC
| send such garments as they can give, will
| drop postal to the chaplain. at Bay and
| Lincoln streets, he will send for them
! The same request is made to those who
| can give such periodicals anG
newspapers, which will be gladly re
| ceiyed for use in the reading rooms.

CAPTURED A 0oUNrERFE1TER.
Cubbedge Puts a Desperate Character
Into the Hands of the Authorities.

CubDedge Puts Desperate Character
Into the Hands of the Authorities.
Conductor Barney Cubbedge of the
Central succeeded in putting into the
hands of the Atlanta authorities coun-
terfeiter. and one of the worst characters
around Swainsboro, on his last trip up.
The man he arrested was Paul Hillman,
a bright mulatto, who used to run an eat
ing house at Swainsboro and who bears a
bad reputation generally in that locality.
He was convicted there once of selling
liquor without license and sentenced to
pay fine of $500.
Hillman got on Mr. Cubbedge's train
Wednesday to go to Wadley. He boarded
the train at Midwife, where he tried to
purchase a ticket from the agent just be-
fore the train was leaving He offered
the agent a $40 bill, but fortunately the
change could not be made at the ticket
Office, or the agent might have been out
something over 80, as the change would
have to have been made hurriedly. 1t
was also learned that the negro had at
tempted to have the bill changed atWad-
ley day or two before.
Hillman boarded the train and took seat
in a dark corner in order to work his
scheme. When Conductor Cubbedge
came along he offered him the $40 bill
which was such good piece of counter
feiting work that the conductor came
near taking it and giving him the change.
A little closer observation, however,
showed him that it was a 81 bill that had
skillfully been raised to a $40. The negro
protested his innocence of having done
the work, and said on being questioned
that he knew it was 81 bill, and that
was all he had asked change for. There
We're good witnesses near at hand, how
ever, who heard the negro ask for change
for $40 bill.
Conductor Cubbedge took the negro uy
to oAtlanta, where he turned him over
| to the police authorities of that city. He
was then placed in the hands of the
| United States marshal of that district
and Uncle Sans court will deal with his
| case

MUST FILL IN THE TRACKS.
Mayor MoDonough After the Street
Railways Again.

The street railway companies will have
to grade their tracks or pay heavy fines
Mayor McDonough is tired of tempOrizing
and he proposes to see that the railways
comply with the law, or show good rea-
son for not doing so.
Cases were made by City Marshal
Wade this week against the Electric rail
way, the City and Suburban railway
and the Savannah, Thunderbolt and
Isle of Hope railroad. The cases came up
on the information docket yesterday
morning.
The charge in each case is in violating
city ordinance by failing to keep in repair
at its own expense according to the prOper
grade four feet each way from center Of
its tracks in the city of Savannah with
such material as will form a hard and
uniform surface of even grade at the
point of junction with the rails, so that
carriages and other vehicles can cross its
track with facility and comfort.
President Collins of the Electric rail
way asked for pOstpOnement of the case
against his company, which was granted.
President Johnston of the City and
Suburban railway, who had been sum
moned to appear was not present, and a
charge Of contempt was entered against
him. PresidentJohnston explained after
ward to the mayor that he had ordered
his superintendent to be present to rep
resent the company and thought this
would be sufficient. He and his attorney,
Col. Garrard, spent some time in consul
tation with the mayor yesterday.
All the cases were continued yester-
day. II is thought that the mayor will
dismiss the cases if the railroads agree
to begin the work of filing in their tracks
at once. In fact there is no other course
for them to pursue, as the council has
shown no disposition to repeal or modify
the ordinance. The railroads began the
work of grading their tracks last month,
after being notified by the city marshal
that they would be placed on the docket
if they did not do so. They filed in only
a very small portion, however, before
stopping, This did not satisfy Mayor
McDonough and he proposes to to have a
satisfactory understanding about the
work or he will enforce the penalties
upon the roads,
