Butterine is much abused product.
AS a matter of fact it is pure, sweet.
wholesome, and infinitely preferable to
ordinary country butter. A special
correspondent of this paper recently
visited the factory owned and operated
by the Armour Packing Co., of Kansas
City. manufacturers of the widely ad,
vertised Silver Churn Butterine. A
five story building is perfectly fitted
for the scientific preparation of this
food product. Everything is spotlessly
clean; all appliances are the latest and
most improved, and every precaution is
taken to secure the production of an
absolutely pure and wholesome food.
All processes are under the direction of
a foreign chemist who has made the
skillful combination of pure sweet fats
the study of his life. He pays as much
attention to details as does the most
fastidious housekeeper to her cooking.
The result is that Silver Churn Butter.
inc is ever fresh, fragrant and delicious
"a dainty delicacy for the table.
Scientific experts endorse the new
food:
Prof. Charles Chandler, of New York
City, says: The product is palatable
and wholesome and l regard it as a
most valuable article of food"
Prof. j. S. w. Arnold. Medical De-
partment, University of New York,
says: "A blessing for the poor, and in
every way a perfectly pure. wholesome
and palatable article of food"

The greatest scenic production OF
the age will undoubtedly be present.
ed at Harper's theatre SATURDAY.
evening, when ssShaft No. 81 is to be
the attraction. All the scenery,
electrical and mechanical adiuncts,
which are required for the presenta-
ton of the piece, are carried by the
company, and for their transporta-
ton the company req uires its own
baggage car. The play is filled from
the rise to the fall of the curtain
with intense interest and startling
and realistic situations. One scene
presents a coal mine in the fields of
Pennsylvania, the miners being low
cred down the shaft with lamps in
the cap ready to commence a DAYS
toll. The bottom of the shaft is
plainly exhibited with the miners at
work in the bowels of the earth and
the mule train carrying off the fruits
of their labor, and a dynamite explo-
sion acting as a climax to the scene.
The attraction at Harper's theatre
next Tuesday evening will be the
best of all comedies, Jane" and
this time the No. company. Its
success last year is well remembered
by theatre-goers, and the engagement
then was most prosperous and pleas
ant. The company that will be seen
in this comedy will no doubt be
warmly welcomed, and it has among
its members those artists that have
made comedy famous. The story of
the play can be profitably recalled at
this time. A gay young London
bachelor has been living for three
years on the interest of an estate be-
queathed to him on condition that he
marries. This estate is in the hands
of trustee who pays the young man
the income because the latter has in
formed him that he has taken wife.
The young man is unduly extrava-
giant, and one fine day the trustee re-
solves to go to London and remon-
strate with him. When the Young
fellow learns of his coming, he is in
a dilemma. He has no wife, but he
brides the housemaid, Jane, to i'm
personate her. Jane has married
William. q man servant, whom she
persuades, for financial reasons, to
consent to the deception. A baby is
borrowed, and all manner of absurd
devices are employed to deceive the
confiding old trustee. The fun is
fast and furious through three acts,
and finally explanations are made,
and all ends happily.
F. G. Conreid, representing the
Calhoun Opera company, is at the
Harper. This remarkable organiza-
ton is to sing "Amorita' at Har-
per's theatre Tuesday evening, Oct.
80. The company has just COM
pleted a 2-nights' engagement at
Davenport, and the papers there tes-
tify lavishly to the merit of the COM
pany. 1t not only presents the finest
operas of the day in an artistic man
ner, but carries it's own complete
scenery. calcium light effects and the
bulk of an orchestra. A rich treat is
in store for the music-loving people
of Rock Island, in the coming of the
Calhoun Opera company.

Spreckels' representatives here today
signed contract with John Rosenfeld's
Sons, shipping merchants, by which the
Rosenfelds will carry raw sugar from
this port around Cape Horn to New York
at the rate of $3.50 per ton. Four hun
dred tons Of sugar have already been
placed on the ship r. d. Rice, which ia

ships will hereafter carry 500 TO 1000
tons. 1t is estimated that $4,000
tons Of raw sugar will be
shipped in this manner and
refined in New York. This meane a
loss OF about $l,000.000 TO San Fran
cisco, as the cost OF refining is not less
than $40 per ton, represented in coal,
ships, wages and the expenses OF the
big refinery. Heretofore the Southern
Pacific carried the refined sugar from

ship raw sugar around the Horn, refine

on the crown such absolute right of

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The secretary
Of the treasury recently requested Of

whether consular officers in China, sta

certify to the statement which certiti-
Gates are required to set forth. The at

eminent of which he msy be subject.
The government can act, he holds, in
the issuance of such certificates, only
through or by its officers and agents.
II it chooses to select consular officers in
foreign countries as such officers and
agents, it has right go to do. This
opinion, with the previous one Of the at
torney general that Cinnamon en- route
to other countries can pass In transit
through United States. will hinder the

A LIVELY SIX-ROUNDER.

Defssted by the Champion Light

SAN FRANcIsco, Jan. 16.-Jack Nc
AuIiffe, champion light weight of the
world, bestef Jim Ryan, who claims to
be the champion middle weight of Aus
tralia, in six rounds tonight at the
Grand opera house. Ryan weighed 152
pounds, McAulife 1451a. The latter
was very fat, while Ryan appeared to be
in good conditian. Spider Kelly was
referee.
MeAuliffe started in at lively pace,
doing all the leading. Ryan tapped
McAuliffe lightly several times, but re-
ceived heavy upper cuts in return.
Second round = McAuliffe followed
Ryan around the ring and struck the
Australian when and where he plsased,
uppercutting him repeatedly. Ryan hit
McAuliffe one hard straight-arm blow
in the face.
In the third round Ryan was careful
to avoid McAuiiffe. There was repeated
clinching and in6ghting.
Fourth round-The Australian ran
away from the American and got caught
in the face several times with uppercuts.
Ryan hit McAuliffe hard left in the
face and ran away.
Fifth round-McAuliffe chased Ryan
around the ring and after hard ex-
change knocked him down. Ryan then
closed with McAuliffs and hard might
ing followed. At the close Of the round
Ryan got in hard blow on McAuliffe's
neck.
Sixth round-Ryan made little bet
ter showing. McAulIffe forced the fight
ing and Ryan escaped from several tight
corners. Rysn tapped McAuliffs sew
eral times on the body. The round
closed in hot exchange. McAuliffe
WAS winded; Ryan in good condition.
The referee awarded the bout to Nc
Auliffe because, as he said, he did all
the forcing. The impression is general
that Ryan could easily have made a
better showing if he had tried.
Before the main event OF the evening
Spider Kelly bested Young Choynski in

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 16.-The soldiers
at the Yountville veterans home are in
a state of mutiny. Two of them have
been discharged from the home for dis
orderly conduct. Commandant Dimp-
fel has been arrested for assaulting q
veteran. The officers of the institution
carry revolvers to protect themselves,
and the civil authorities have been
called in. The trouble is all about an
order requiring the old soldiers to
turn over their pension money
to the commandant for safe
keeping. This rule was made to keep
the veterans from squandering their
money in the Yountvilie saloons. The
saloon-keepers, who reap rich harvest
from the soldiers every month, are
backing the mutineers in their fight,
and 1853 of the members of the home de-
clare they will not obey the pension
rule. The board of directors of the
home met today and endorsed Comman-
dant Dimpfel's course in discharging
two malcontents, and adopted resolu-
tions declaring the pension rule must
be obeyed.
