THE HIGHEST AWARD.

Royal Baking Powder has oil tho
Honors-In Strength and value 10
per cent. above Its Nearest Com.
petitor.
The Royal Baking Powder has the
enviable record OF having received the
highest award for articles OF it's class
greatest strength, purest ingre-
dients, most perfectly combined
wherever exhibited in competition with
Others. In the exhibitions of former
years, at the Centennial, az Paris,
Vienna and at the various State and
Industrial fairs, where il has been ex-
hibited, judges have invariably award
ed the Royal Baking Powder the high
est bonors.
At the recent Worlds Fair the ex-
animation for the baking powder
awards were directed by the chief
chemist of the Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington. The chief chem
lists official report of the tests of tho
baking powders, which WAS made for
the specific purpose of ascertaining
which was the best, shows the leavan-
ing strength of the Royal to be 100
cubic inches of carbonic gas per ounce
Of powder. OF the cream of tartar
baking powders exhibited, the next
highest in strength tested contained
but 1873 cubic inches of leavening gas.
The other powders gave an average OF
Ill. The Royal, therefore, was found
of twenty per cent greater leavening
strength than its nearest competitor,
and foriy-fonr per cent. above the
average of all the other tests. It's
superiority in other respects, however,
in the quality of the food it makes rs
to tineness, delicscy and wholesome
ness, could not be measured by fg-
ures.
II is these high qualities, known and
appreciated by the women of the coun-
try for NO mnny years, that have
caused the sales of the Royal Baking
Powder, as shown by statistics, to ex-
ceed the sale of all other baking pow.

This is where l got too wise. Soon
after making this assertion ] was sit.

occupied by my wife. when the boy
came along with an armful OF books.
He stopped when he reached my seat,
looked at me critically for a few sec.

in his arms, aud, leaning over con-
t1dentially, said In tone which un-
fortunately was ] nd enough for my

denly intensely interested In ah ex-
ceedingly ordinary landscape when
looked around at her, but l could see
from the amused expression about
the corners of her mouth that she
had taken in the situation. You
may be sure she laughed when the

STATE OF TRADE LESS CLEAR.
Uncertainty About Tariff Legislation
Causes stagnation in Business and
Little Demand for Legitimate

Shukes EtHRnht1On IN BUSINESS anu
Little Demand for Legitimate
Investment.
r. G. Dun 4 Co.'S weekly Review Of
Trade says:
II cannot be said that business during the
past week has grown better or worse. For
some days the gain in demand andi trans
actions which had been previously noticed,
evidently continued. But afterward tariff
uncertainties were thougbtto effect some
branches of business and whatever the
causes the state Of trade was less clear
Money was everywhere abundant with rates
comparatively low and the commercial de
mand was remarkably small, while the de-
mand for speculative uses appeared TO
be increasing. When there are symp-
roms of transition state, ordinary indca-
tons based upon the course of business
down to few days ago, are not as valuable
rs usual. but on the whole such signs are.
however, less encouraging than they were
week ago. Reports OF d fferent branches
of trade and from dflerent cities frequent
ly mention the tariff uncertainties as
cause OF natural hesitancy, but IL will take
some time to determine whether the gener-
al tendency toward improvement has been
checked or to what extent. The Volume OF
trade has been so ,ewbat increased and yet
not as much as was expected. The indus
tries are waiting with visible uncertainty
regarding the outcome of tariff legislation.
1t is a question whether the wcrk ng force
employed is larger than it was n week ago.
The sales OF wool are again larger than

G,6l9, 800 pounds against 1881, 5OOpounds last

10 be speculative, being based on the the ry
that whatever may happen, later the netes-
sites of the country will compel larger
consumption within the next few months.
The vast accumulation of idle money tends
to stimulate speculation, but IL is not a
good symptom. 1t shows a remarkable
shrinkage IN the volume OF trade, and the
reports from all quarters makes 1t clear
that the demand for money is unusually
light for the season. The domestic exports

The Union Pacific Wreck.

The wreck OF the train yesterday near

O'Clock in the morning, beng behind
time nearly Two hours, AMI the accident
happened at O'Clock, near Rocky Butte,
about six miles east of Portland. At that

ran into a cow lying on the track. En-
gineer Sherman did not notice the animal
until too late 10 stop the train a:.d avert a

ten feet beyond where the ccw was struck
and ran for distance of l20 feet with the
wheels on both sides on the ties to the
left of the alls, when the wheels on the
left side left the track and ran l30 feet
further, where the engine was overturned.
The baggage and mail cars were thrown
from the track down an embankment and
badly damaged. A man named g. G.
Chase, who was riding on the baggage
Car, W s thrown under it and instantly
killed He is believed to have been a
drug CLERK, and to have been stealing a

slightly injured, but none seriou-ly. The
engineer and fireman were thrown out of
the cab, and almost miraculously escaped
injury. Conductor w. II. Fowler was in
charge of the train, and the fireman's
name was George Avery. The remains
of the COW were scattered along the track
for a distance of one hundred feet. For
a distance of 200 feet the track was torn
up, and had to be replaced with new rails
and ties. A wrecking crew rom Alblna
proceeded to the scene of the disaster as
soon as the news was received, and the
road placed in position for the passage of
trains.
