leavening gas per ounce of powder.
Every other powder tested exhibited a much
lower strength than the Royal, the average
being IS per cent, less.
Every other powder likewise showed the
presence of alum or s%ulphurc acid.
The claim that this report shows any other powder of su-
perior strength or purity has been denounced as a falsehood
by the Government officers who made the tests.
Avoid all baking powders sold with a gift
or prize, or at a lower price than the Royal,
as they invariably contain alum, lime or sui
phuric acid, and render the food unwholesome.

1t is certainly great misfortune for

great extent without local taxation
aud there seems to be no valid reason

sufficient to convince any reasonable

THE CONTEST FOR POSTMASTER

Tomorrow the Democratic County
Central Committee of Miller County,
meet to fix the manner and time for
the holding of Democrat primary of
patrons in Miller County, of the
Texarkans postofice, to settle
the contest for postmaster. We
trust fair and friendly contest by
primary will settle the matter salts
factorily, and that all Democrats will
afterward harmonic and get to-
gether.
This paper, since more than one
candidate entered the field, has main
tanned a strict neutrality, saying moth
ing for or against any one in the field.
Now, before the campaign opens up the
DEMOCRAT give expression to its views
and will afterward take no part in
contest, except our individual, private
right as Democrat. The DEMOCRAT
believes that jeff D. Sanderson is ell
titled to the postmastership, for past
active services in behalf of the party,
and because he has never heretofore
held any Office. Few men after being
defeated in the primary for Clerk,
would have worked in harness
as he did last year. He j;
young and industrious, and am,
ply competent for the place. These
are our reasons for supporting
him. The other candidates, it seem:
to us, have had enough of the "chicker
pie" and should give others chance
Col. w. r. Kelly was clerk for teI
years, and Col. Whittimore was coun
ty treasurer for four years. Both @
these gentlemen are worthy and gooc
citizens, and either would make
good postmaster; we find no taul
with either and have none but tht
most friendly feeling for them.
In conclusion-we have spoken oul
mind, being no "fence-rider," ant
shall not, through the paper, take any
more part in the contest, leaving tht
candidates and their friends to SETTLE
it in the primary.

THE WORLDS COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION,
Splendid Transportation Facilities
and Low Rates offered by the
Iron Mountain Route to Arkansans
Contemplating Visit to Chicago
During the "World's Fair"

Everyone IN Arkansas is more or less
interested in the Worlds Fair, not only
on account of the international prOmi-
nence that will be attained by the United
States and the city of Chicago, but on ac-
count of its own unique representation,
which compares favOrably with that OF
any other State. Every city, county and
township have contributed their samples
of agricultural, mineral and manufactur
ing products, and the management OF the
Iron Mountain route, recognizing the pride
every Arkansal feels in his State, has
placed in effect, very low round trip
rate from all points in Arkansas good via
St. Louis to Chicago and the Worlds
Fair. Tickets are now on sale with an
ample limit for return.
The advantages of this route are many
owing to the elegant through service, con=
Ssting of Pullman Buffet Sleeping Cars,
Reclining Chair Cars (SeatS freel and
magnificent Day Coaches, which are in
daily operation. The trip via st. Louis,
especially if made later in the summer,
will well repay the visitor, as StOp-OYer
will be allowed those desirOuS Of attend
ing the great St. Louis Fair and EXposi-
tOn, also give an opportunity to view the
magnificent parade of the Yelled Prophet,
which passes through miles of streets
brilliantly Illuminated by gas and electric
lights, encased in globes all the colors OF
the rainbow.
The fame of st, Louis as THE Carnival
City of America" has spread far and wide,
and no spot in the World, not even the
gay Partisan capital, can compete with
It during the reign of High Carnival.

EUCHRE PARTY.

Everyone seems elated over the i'm
promptu, but especially enjoyable,
game of euchre at the beautiful hOme
of Judge and Mrs. L. A. Byrne on last
evening, 1t was an animated gather
ing, marked by perfection of detail
rarely enjoyed. Early in the evening
the pretty parlors were at once trans
formed into scene of moving forms,
whose gay and happy faces seem to
mingle their radiance with the bright
and charming hostess and airy brilliant
grace of Miss May Belle Lawrence
guest at the Byrne home. To please
seemed the touChstone of the evening;
each nook seemed to harbor a cooling
breeze, and as the players progressed,
each seemed 10 ba ip close proximity
to the very guest with whom one de-
sired to exchange a passing word;
in fact the affair was dominated by
that inherent gentleness which is all
attribute of an intellectual hostess, a
distinction which renders her sweet
queen among women and one model
ed after rare aud delightful type,
assisted by the maidenly attractions
of one, of whom we fine ourselves un-
consciously quoting: "what charms
are here revealed before mine eyesT'
At the close Of an ably contested game,
q handsome souvenir spoon was given
the fortunate and likewise fascinating
Miss Cuggie Hynson. Among the
gentlemen Messrs Eugene Stewart
and j. B. Lightfoot scored the test
alike victoriously, which resulted in a
draw, the prestige falling to the lot of
Mr.. Lightfoot, who was awarded an
exquisite scarf pin set with pearls.
The dainty refreshments served la
tete tete emphasized the evenings
Joy. Mrs. Byrne wore smart gown
of sea shell pink silk; in design it par
took of an empire costume being rich
ly ornamented with point de gene lace
and Felix bou knots. Jasmines were
the accessories TO this modish toilet.
A lovely frock of soft, clingipg white
silk, accentuated the graceful bearing
of Miss Lawrence; white oleanders
were worn with this fetching creation.
Many regrets were expressed at the
absence of Judge Byrne, who was un-
expectedly called to Little Rock.
