Destroyed by Fire and Again at Work

Destroyed by Fire and Again at Work.
The Price Baking Powder company
of Chicago, which is known throughout
the country for the superior excellence
of it's baking powder, met with seri-
Gus loss on the morning of May IS, in
the nearly total destruction by fire of
its factory and offices. No sooner
had the flames been subdued than the
work Of restoration commenced, and
the company by prudent foresight
having had stored in outside ware
houses duplicate machinery, labels and
supplies OF raw materials in prepara-
ton for any emergency, was enabled
by energetic management to resume
manufacturing within very few days
after the fire, thereby causing its Gus
toners but trifing delay in the filling
of their orders. Had the company not
been so prepared the delay would
have been very serious, since it would
have required months of time to get
new machinery
1t is now forty years since the goods
manufactured by this company were
first placed on the market, to DR.. Price
being due the distinction of having
prepared the first can Of cream of tar
tar baking powder ever manufactured
in any country. 1t was a great discov-
cry, superseding as it did the old me-
thOd Of using cream Of tartar and soda
separately, to say nothing Of saleratus,
with which the biscuit Of early days
was embittered.
The Price company has no connec-
ton whatever with any other baking
powder company or manufacturer,
Notwithstanding representations to
public and borrow the good name and
fame acquired by the Price cream bak-
ing powder, which is known all over
the world as the purest and "most
perfect made"

A rare and popular treat in the line
of amusements will be given at Con-
cordia Opera house, under the auspices
Of the ladies of st. Paul's parish guild,
Wednesday evening Of next week,
June IA, by the Roney Concert COM

greeted with crowded houses, and Wa

rule, to the end that the St. Paul's
church ladies should be we'll sustained
in their laudable effort in securing so
fine an entertainment OF this concert
troupe it is said that the charming re-
citations and exquisite songs of Miss
Pearson, and also her "musical recita-
tons are new and out of the usual
line Of elocutionistS' work. The as
tonishing performances of little Jessie
Millar and Ernest Wagner must be
heard to be appreciated-no descrip-
ton can do them justice. The sweet
and touching songs and duets of the
two choirboys from Grace Episcopal
church, Chicago, Masters Charlie Davi-
son and Henry Brierley, will find a
responsive chord in many heart. No
one can resist being fascinated and in
spired with the stimulating musical
treat furnished by these divinely-gifted
children. A superb programme has

New YORK, Aug. 14.---Dun's agency
says:
The long desired meeting of congress,
the presidents message and the arrival of
$13,280,000 of gold from Europe with
$10,000,000 more on the way, have not
brought the improvement anticipated.
The machinery of exchanges has almost
stopped. According to the reports of July
12 to the comptroller, over $131 100000
of deposits had been withdrawn in two
months from part of the national banks
and probably $177, 100000 from all, be-
sides unknown sums from saving, state
and private banks, and during the month
since July IL Withdrawals and boarding
must have been relatively even greater.
Railroad earnings show q decrease of
about per cent compared with those of
last year, but the clearing house returns
at the principal cities show decrease in
settlement or 25 per cent. Appeals to
the treasury for some relief are frequent
but its cash balance has been reduced so
low that the gold reserve may have to be
used in part for current expenses. But
$13,O0O,O00 bank notes will quickly be
added to the circulation through the use
of the bonds purchased from savings
banks and $2S, 600, 900 in gold from Europe
in spite of the advance in the bank of En-
gland rate to 4 per cent.

lessness of the single standard cause and
says:

question"
PARTY LINES IN THE SENATE.
There is slight dissatisfaction on the
Republican side on the part of few sill
ron mca. buS s,aaerally they have adapted
the policy of annoying their opponents
in the majority by insisting upon an i'm
mediate disposition of the silver ques-
tion, and therefore resisting every motion
to adjourn and calling for the yeas and
nays to put the senators on record. One
of the Republican leaders in financial
matters said that they would keep up this
line of action until majority obliged
them to proceed to business. He in
sisted that Democrats could not charge
Republicans with part. an action mas
much as they were simply trying to give
immediate effect to the presidents eug-
gestion contained in his message. On
the other hand the Democratic senator's
represent it as the attempt of the Re-
publicans to control the business of the
senate and dictate the character of
the legislation that shall be attempted.
They have resolved that they will not
permit action until they have themselves
agreed upon line of policy, and the con-
duct of the Republicans has had the sf-
feet to consolidate all of the elements on
the Democratic side upon this resolution.

New Mexico All Right

New Mexico is in better condition for
the improved times in the fall, than 10
any other part Of the west. She will
have an abundance of fat cattle and sheep
ready for market; most of her wool clip
is still on hand, to be disposed of when
the market shall revive; If silver appreci-
ates in value, through free coinage or
other legislation, her mines are in condi.
tion to at once take advantage Of the ris-
ing market; her gold properties are in
creasing in number and output; and her
crops of fruits and grains are unusually
promising.-Las Vegas Optic.
