THE HIGHEST AWARD.

Royal Baking Powder Has All the
Honors-In Strength and Value
20 Per Cent Above Its Nearest
Competitor.
The Royal Baking Powder has the en-
viable record of having received the
highest award for articles of its class
greatest strength, pureSt ingredients,
most perfectly OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES eX-
hibited in competition with others.
The result at the Chicago Worlds Fair
is no exception. In the exhibitions of
former years, at the Centennial, at
Paris, Vienna and at the various State
and Industrial fairs, where it has been
exhibited, judges have invariably
awarded the Royal Baking Powder the
highest honors.
At the recent Worlds Fair the exam
nations for the baking powder awards
were directed by the chief chemist of
the Agricultural Department at Wash
ington. The chief chemists official re-
port of the tests of the baking powders,
which was made for the specific pur-
pose of ascertaining which was the best,
shows the leavening strength of the
Royal to be 160 cubic inches of carbonic
gas per ounce of powder. OF the cream
of tartar baking powders exhibited, the
HoAV uiSHOoG III oltOustH t6Steu COIL
tanned but 1873 cubic inches of leavening
gas. The other powders gave an aver
age of Ill. The Royal, therefore, was
found of 20 per cent. greater leavening
strength than its nearest competitor,
and A per cent. above the average of
ali the other tests. Its superiority in
other respects, however, in the quality
of the food it makes as to fineneSs, del
icacy and wholeSomenesS, could not be
measured by figures.
1t is these high qualities, known and
appreciated by the women of the coun-
try for so many years, thst have caused
the sales of the Royal Baking Powder,
as shown by statistics, to exceed the
sale of all other baking powders COM

WHO GETS THE CONTRACT?
Seeger and the Acme Company
Both Have Supporters.

Seeger and the Acme Company
Both Have Supporters.
A meeting of the joint council COM
mittee on gas to consider the gasoline
lighting bids was held yesterday after
noon. Present were Messrs. Doran,
Sandell, Van Slyke, Conley, Markham
and Zimmerman from the committee
and Jacob Hebron and Robert Seeger,
two of the contractors, with their attor-
neys, 81. F. Stevens and Harris Rich
ardson. II. T. Stevens. who appeared
for the Acme Vapor Stove company,
said that M. Auerbach had requested
him to announce to the committee that
the st. Paul Title Insurance company
would give bonds to any amount should
the contract be awarded to the COM
pany. There had been some statements
made that no other contractor than the
present one could do the work. In an
swer to this he would say that bonds
would be given by the Acme Vapor
company to have all the articles used in
carrying out the contract in the city
within one month. The bid of the
company was the lowest, and from "a
business view there was no reason why
the committee should hesitate to award
it the contract.
Harris Richardson, who appeared for
Robert Seeger, said that any one could
furnish bonds, but the question was
whether the city would be lighted by
bonds. 1t was not so much the financial
ability to fulfill the contract as it was
the physical ability. In Minneapolis
tie contract for lighting was let to
new contractor, and the result was the
contractor. although under bonds, failed
be let at higher figures.
Aid. Zimmerman moved for an exec.
utive session, and for three hours the
matter was discussed. 1t was decided
that the city did not desire to furnish
the burners for the lamps, and this
narrowed the award down to Robert
Seeger and the Acme Vapor Stove COM
pany. Seeger agreed to light the lamps
for S1.15 per month, and the Acme COM
pany for SLIP per month. The commit
tee were divided as to whether the
charge for removal of lamp posts by the
Acme company, which was given as 80
cents each, would not make the bid
higher than that of Seeger, who agreed
to make the removals free of cost.
There were no figures at hand to show
how many posts would likely be re-
moved during the year, and at $50
O'Clock an adjournment was taken. At
the meeting of the board of aldermen
last night the committee was instructed
10 report at an adjourned meeting of
that body to be held Thursday after
noon.

they had gold upon their persons and in
their baggage. This accounts for the
arrest of these men and the refusal of
the detectives to follow out the clues
they had been given OF the two men
who really committed the robbery.
They had refused to follow up the clue
given by the man Stanton for the rea-
son that il conf1icted with the Pinkerton
theory. and McGinn was but the tool of
Plnkerton, and was bent on having the
Pinkertons do the business both in Chi
cago and here. He made several heavy
shots at the PinkertOns. and said that
their system was antagoniStlc to
American institutions, aud would
one day be prohibited by law
throughout the entire country.
Ii the i've who have been indicted in
this county are band of thieves, where
is the evidence that proves the presence
OF Fleury and the others in that bank
on the day of the robbery? Can you
guess at this matter? Let US review
the testimony relating to the identifica-
ton of Fleury. There are two wit
nesses-Gall and LaIes. Is their evil
dence sufficient to convince your minds
that Fleury was there. Gall was behind
iattlced window; on looking out he
srw a man who looked like Feury. He
described him as a man of about his
own height. Now, it is a fact. and one
known to you, that Gall is four or five
inches taller than Fleury. Calls testi-
mony is entitled to little consideration.
The only other witness of Identification
is Lares. LareS tells three different
stories; he is of that flexibility and
weakness of character to swear TO any
thing for his own interest. Lares did
tell Mrs. Steele that it was tail man
with the bag In his hand that he saw
rushing to the door. Mr.. Butler de-
med that Mrs. Steele had so testified.
The record was read.] This is what
l1ares then said. Lares, the day after
the robbery, had said to Stanton that
he didn't see the man and didn't think
anybody else did. The next day lie
made the same statement to Mr.. Will
Jams, the newspaper reporter. Lares
sneaked into the Jail TO look at de-
fendant and then rushed back to Nc
CHM and tells him he couldn't see him
(Fleury) in the face and could not tell
whether he was the man or not. He
commented upon the fact that Lares
made no cutlery when he says he saw
the man take the bag Of gold and make
off with it.
Judge Kelly then cautioned the jury,
and said he would POSTPONE charging
until this morning at 10 o'clock, to
which hour he adjourned court.

Will Not Be Raised for the New
RridUa

Will Not Be Raised for the New
Bridge.
W. P. Clough and Engineer Miller. of
the Great Northern railway, were before
the board of public works yesterday
afternoon in the matter of the change of
grade on Como avenue, between West
elm avenue and Topping street. The
proposed change of grade was prelim-
mary to the building of new bridge
over the Great Northern tracks at Como
avenue and i'll order to accommodate the
railway company plans for the bridge
were drawn so as to make the bridge
across the tracks several feet higher
than the present one. In order to do this
the grade of Como avenue for i've
blocks would have to be raised about
eight feet. The board were of the
opinion that tie railroad company
ought TO stand the expense of such
grading, which would cost about $4,000.
The idea, however, did not strike the
railway people at all. and at the con-
ference yesterday Mr.. ClOugh announced
the company would not stand the eX-
penSe OF the change. This practically
settled the matter, and Aid. Warren,
who has been instrumental in making
arrangements for the new bridge,
stated that the new bridge would be
built at the present grade, and that the
orders for change of grade to allow
the new bridge to be raised several feet
would be annulled. In order to show
that ne meant what he said, Aid. War
rem last evening introduced and had
passed at the aldermanic meeting a
resolution annulling all proceedings in
the change of grade Oh the avenue.
