Dies MONIES. Ia, Feb. IA party

unknown man in q hack. The arrest
was made by officers Morgan and
Berth.
The officers got wind of the probable
body-snatching through a hackman
who had refused to accompany the
party. They went to the cemetery
and with Supt Robinson repaired to
the northwest corner, where they found
the hack. They covered the hackman
with a revolver and made him keep
quiet The grave robbers came up one
by one, the last two dragging a corpse
by rope. The officers ordered them to
throw up their hands, and all but Shafer
did so. He drew a revolver. but soon
surrendered. The officers put four of
the men and the corpse in the hack
and one on the seat with the driver
and one walked. brought the whole
crowd to the city and lodged them all

Brannan, the City Chemist has collecesd
sanapIes Of the various baking powdesa
cold in ST. Louis and subjected them to
analysis for the purpose of obtaining
for the public benefit information a. -
their composition and character,
whether wholesome or otherwise.
Owing to the fact that alum baking
powders are produced At cost Of less
than four cents q pound. while In ar-
pearance they are hardly distinguish
able from . pure cream Of tartar powder
costing from eight to ten times as much
TO manufacture, there have been many
Of them pu: upon the market. and great
efforts made to substitute them for the
more wholesome cream OF tartar COM
pounds.
OF course, such powders afford wide
margins of profits both to tho manu-
facturers and dealers and it is not I'M
usual to find them for this reason rec
commended and urged upon customers
who would not, knowing their true
character, use them under any consid-
Grafton.
City Chemist Sullivan's report shows
one pure cream of tartar powder only
(the Royal; one cream of tartar
powder containing free tartaric acid;
one phosphate powder containing
sulphate Of lime, and that all the
other brands are made from alum. The
samples ranged in strength from 1S.47
per cent. of leavening (carbonic acid)
gas found in the Royal, to Cos per cent.
found in an alum powder.
The general usefulness Of baking
powder depends largely upon the
quantity Of leavening gas it gives of. A
powder containing IS per cent. of gas
will 60 more than twice as far-that Is,
one pound of such powder will raise
more than twice as much dour-as one
that evolves but 9 per cent. The
economy thus shown, however, is not
the greatest consideration. The low
strength powders leave . large residuum
in the food, which. being Of alum in
its various forms, renders the food
positively unwholesome.
Upon this point, and in describing the
character of the baking powder found
of highest strength, the City Chemist
says: "a high leavening power is req
uisite. Pure ingredients in proper
quicken and increase the
production of carbonic acid gas. In
this the Royal excels all others. r. is
the highest in strength, in fabrique
faultless arrangement of agents, pure
and wholesome, free from collaboration
with lime, ammonia or alum"
The result of these tests will be read
with interest and will prove of great
benefit to housekeepers by enabling
them to distinguish the pure from the
impure and unwholesome
powders found in the market.

DEMOCRATIC DEVELOPMENT

Reaction of Republican Chicanerv in the
West.
The senatorial election in North Da-
kota is perhaps the end of series of
surprises such as never occurred in the
politics of any other state. At the
presidential election in 1892 one repub-
lican elector and two fusion electors
democrat and populist) were chosen.
In the electoral college one of the votes
was cast for Cleveland, one for Weaver
and one for Harrison. There never be-
fore was such division of the elector-
al vote of state. A fusionist governor
and a republican secretary of state
were elected. In the legislature, with
a total membership of ninety-eight.
Guiding eight elected as independent
democrats There were tifty-three re-
publicans and fourteen populists.
On the small capital of tllirty-one
members, less than third of the en-
tire number, and nineteen less than .
majority, the democrats entered the
contest They gained the senator.
There never was anything like tex
cept the case of gambler who had
made fortune on a stake of small
value. HIS luck was illustrated by way
of parable. 1t was said that The be-
gan with a shoestring and won tan
yard" 1t is the first time within hui
man recollection when the democrats
went into a political deal, furnishing a
part of the capital, and secured the
entire profits Of the transaction. AL
most universally, heretofore, the part
nership has been of that character
which has become classic in anecdote
and proverh. At the commencement
they furnished the capital and the other
fellows the experience. At the close
they had the experience and the other
fellows had the capital 1t is pleasant
to see the conditions reversed.
The republican congress admitted

which was kept back until July 8, 1s9O)
for the purpose Of packing the house,

Dakota, South Dakota, Washington
and Wyoming they expected to secure
eight members of the house. twelve
members of the senate and twenty
electoral votes As result they saved
the most of the members of the house
from the new states The election of
senators is still incomplete, but the re-
publicans have lost one in Montana,
one in North Dakota. one in South Da-
kota. one in Washington and one in

lost five. Their loss in United States
senators is the most serious. The re-

Allen G. Thurman Presents a Plan to
Solve the Financial Problem.
COLUMBUS, O., Feb. 24.-Allen G..
Thurman has thought of a plan which
he thinks will solve the financial prob
lem and dispose of the currency ques-
ton to the satisfaction of all. His
proposition is that silver dollars shall
be the basis for national bank circula-
ton. The banks are to be required to
deposit in the United States treasury 90
per cent. in such dollars upon which
they are to be permitted to issue 100
per cent. of the notes These would
always insure payments and give the
banks profit on their circulation which
they do not now enjoy.
Mr.. Thurman argues that silver and
gold would. with free coinage, and this
amendment to the national banking
law, be at parity in twenty-four
hours. and the strife between the two
metals cease.
