THE MINNESOTA LEGISLATUR1
Looking After the Alum and Ammo
mia Baking Powders.
(St. Paul Pioneer Press. J

st. Paul Pioneer Press.
A bill for an act in relation to the
manufacture and sale Of baking pow
ders, 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 and
Ammonia, imposing proper penalties
to enforce the law, etc. j., sz**
This shows an earnest desire on the
part of our State representatives to
protect their constituents. d
The Chicago Tribune, referring to
the question of legislation on Alum
and Ammonia baking powders, says:
lit deals in q direct manner with an
evil that must be cut down.
DR.. Chas. w. Drew, chemist for the
Minnesota State Dairy and Food Com.
mission, in his elaborate report of 1892,
gives a list of one hundred and seventy
three different brands of Alum baking
powders alone -sold in Minnesota.
Following is a list Of the more widely
known brands that DE-. Drew, as we'll
as other chemists Of high standing,
have examined and found to contain
Alum. and some Of which contain both
Alum and Ammonia. Many of the
Alum and Ammonia powders are la
l-beled and advertised az s.absolutely
pureo to mislead the public.

RANSOM TOWNSHIP.

The Children's Day service on Sun
day last was a delicious treat; beauti-,
full. To the little ones it Was day of
bright visions for weeks before it came,
and will be remembered by them with
tho purest pleasure for very many days
to come. In some parts of the service
the children m .rched in a body to and
from the platform, and as they stepped
TO the music in going and returning,
they did it with such grace and in such
good order that the sight was delight
to the beholders. The little ones were
the principal actors, yet u good many
older onts took part in recitations aud
readings. All acquitted themselves
admirably. Miss Lounita Dow, who
had charge of the training of the child
rem, and who shows much saptit ude ii
such work, is certainly entitled to much
credit for the thorough w0rk she did
Some very dnb pieces Of music were
rendered by the choir, Mrs. r. W.
Shore, Mrs. r. II. Belknap, Miss Peck,
of Ellsworth, Misses CLARA Prideaux
and Mollie Scott and Messrs. o. Nj.
Ferrin and T. H. Prideaux. One of
the pieces music was sung by the Child.
ren. the choir taking up the chorus
with very fine effect. Two little girls
of Judge Dow's, Georgiette and Dora,
sung together a solo and duet which
they gave remarkably we'll. Many of
the little ones sing most charmingly.
The church was tastefully decorated
with flowers and with twigs and
branches culled from the groves near
by. The effect was very pleasing, and
did no little credit to add to the pleas~
ure Of the occasion.
But the lessons taught by the service
were far more important than the
music, the decorations or anything
that was done for outside effect. In
language so plain and simple that any
child could understand it, was taught
the great truth of Gods loving care
for all that he has made.
The church was filled to overflowina,
people coming from all the country
round.
On Saturday next, June "a, there
will be q picnic at Mr.. Prideaux's g
grove, very good place for such a
gathering. Time one O'Clock. Come
and have good time.

A LITERARY SENSATION.

"A LITERARY SEN SA ilON.
"Uncle Toms Cabin" has certainly
"broke loose!' The copyright on this
most famous of American novels, by
Mrs. Stowe. has recently expired, which
frees it's publication from the monopo-
ly Of the high priced publishers, and
and though in anticipation of this fact
they have within a few months greatly
reduced its price. now that it is really
''unchained" the consequences are
sometimes surprising. John 3. Allen,
Publisher, of New York, issues several
editions, selling them only direct mot
through agents or book sellers;) one in
good type, paper covers, for five cents,
postpaid, or the same bound in cloth
for 10 cents with postage seven cents
extra; also an excellent large-type
edition, on fine paper, handsomely
bound in cloth for the price Of Is cents,
postage IL cents. Surely copy Of
"Uncle Toms Cabin' will soon be
found in every home where it is not al
ready. Mr.. Alden sends q 80 page
pamphlet describing many Of his pub
lications free, or a catalogue of 12s
pages of choice books. a veritable slit

The new school law seems to meet
With general favor. As the Couaty
Superintendent pu9s it, "Let US have
free-text books and county uniform

little to tho school tax, while the gain
to both teacher and scholar would pay
for the extra outlay many times over.
Under the present system there are
very few schools where every child at
tending is supplied with just such
books as 1t ought to have; and 50 long
No this is the case our schools cannot

be. In some cases the parents are too
Indifferent about the matter to provide
suitable books; in other cases, perhaps,
the parents are too poor to buy them;
but Whatever the cause of the evil, so
long as it can be removed at so tritling
q cost; to see that it is remvdied would
seem to be the right thing to do.
With regard to "upiformity" there
seems to be but little difference of op-
inion. A moments thought, it would
seem; must satisfy any one that it
would seem, must satisfy any one that
it would be better for all the schools
in the country to use the same books
than for the trustees of each sch~ol

schools that are competent to make a
very jMdicious selection Of text books,

EAsTER MORNING.

Enraptured wakes the glsd, expectant earth
Beneath the gentle kiss of natures breath,
Whose melody proclaims the mornings
i birth
To whisper of the joy that follows death;
While silently the starlights disappear
Before the splendor of the coming morn
That thrills the world with strange, ecstatic
i. fear,
As unto her a wondrous life is born;
For eeel as hurting darkness from the skies
The sun appears in radiancy sublime
The Resurrection to ensymbolize--
While earth and heaven in exultant chime
Peal forth in grand antiphonal accord
Their anthem, "Hallelujah, praise the Lord~

"Better to be dead than suffer this
living DEATH" Give me the knife,
will soon put an end to my misery
Smoloff detaches the tiny knife and
gives it to the half maddened creature,
who surreptitiously sewers an artery in
his wrist, and bravely bears up, until
forced to fall from exhaustion. The
order is given to fire, and all is over.
Another convict is chained to Smolotf,
and they move on.
Ivan Smolof envied the dead ssvar-

was well-nigh impossible to add ''If it
be Thy will" There was no escape but
by death. He had thought of many
ways. Even if he could elude the vigi-
lance of the guards, he dared not hope to
get out of the country, for the natives
we're paid three roubles head for every

AT Tiumen the convicts were crowded

shaven. His face cleaned pale in the
sun s rays, but it aroused no pity in the
hearts of the inhuman guards.
Ivan Smolotf, the youngest convict in
this detachment, was descendant Of
the royal family of Poland, now under
the stern despotlsm OF Russia. He had
attempted, with small band of fol-
lowers, to defend his country against
the Russian forces, but the courage of
his countrymen soon weakened, and
after the burning of Warsaw, they gave
up all hope. The Emperor, fearing an
other outbreak from this fiery young
nobleman, ordered his arrest, and his
exile to Siberia. Hearing this, young
SmoloH escaped to Germany, wandering
over the continent for eight weary
weeks, only to be captured at last, and
exiled. No farewell word with mothers,
sisters, or sweetheart; no last look at his
old home. Hurried off like common

These words force themselves to his

at him, kick him, and finally order him
to be stripped and beaten. The women
shrek with terror, and cover their eyes,
but the sounds of the lash ring in their
ears, and long after the tortured youths
lips cease to move, they can hear his
piteous cries. At last, the quivering
flesh is hastily covered with the coarse
clothing, and he is chained again, and
told to move on.
"You have knife ON your watch

the convict on his right.

Alba Senref, Princess OF Arnak, was
considered proud and cold by strangers,
but they little knew the tenderness OF
the Young Princess's heart. Pledged
from childhood to Ivan Smoloff, only
son OF sho royal house OF Poland, she
had lsvished all her young love on her
lugufe lord. Wnen the 1--we of his
oanishment reached her, she sesl

brilliant ball. The order was inn
mediately given to drive home. Then,
with pale lips and white, drawn face,
Alba sat down beside her fire, and tried
to devise some means of escape for her
lover. All night long she paced her
room, thinking, thinking, thinking
She must do something's Six o'clock
struck, and still no plan was
made by which she could help
him. Sinking on her knees, she
prayed for help. The servant, enter
ing an hour later, found her asleep. She
seemed dazed when awakened; then she
said:
s:Tell my maid wish to see her."
When the maid came, she ordered her
wraps brought.
LBut your ladyship will change her
dress9o
No, there was no time to lose. AL
ready much had been wasted. Hastily
slipping the fur mantle over her bali
dress, which she had not yet removed,
Alba filled her purse with money, and,
bidding the maid tell no one where she
had gone, she left the house. Making
her way alone to st. Petersburg, regard
less of impudent glances from travellers,
she thought only of Ivan, who was going
farther from her every moment.
1t was dull, cold morning when she
reached the city. Snow was falling in
great flakes. The Princess drove to the
palace, but was refused admission when
she told her Grand, as they compelled
her to do. For hours she wandered
aimlessly through the streets, attracting
much attention by her rich attire.
At last, weary and heartsicx,
she entered church to say d
prayer for her helpless lover. As she
left the edifce, she was startled by the
tramp of soldiers. 1t was the Emperor's
escort. They were passing up the street
in the direction of the palace, the En-
peror bowing right and left to the
crowds of people on the sidewalks.
Pushing through the crowd, she reached
his carriage, and implored him to save
her lover. He scarcely heard her, and,
turning to the soldiers, demanded the
cause Of the disturbance. They rudely
forced her back, and the carriage moved

Development.

In going to Florence the marked improvements recently made in open ing up and enclosing new ranches, and running numerous lateral ditches for irrigation. is particularly noticeable. The laterals for water service are run across in the most unexpected places.
 Pinal county, especially along and near the railroad, is moving right for ward. The Florence canal water sys- tenn is furnishing abundant water for all irrigation enterprises, old or new; and the irrigated area about Arizola is fifty per cent greater than in 1892.
