If man is a democrat, he is a
democrat undOr all circumstances.
When man is nominated for
public Office by the democracy and
democrat refuses to vote for him
because of personal differences, he
does his party a great wrong. The
majority should rule and all abide
by the result. Upon the grand
principles of National Government
the democracy has stood united for
more then a half century and
should remain SO as long as
America is u republic and the
American people a democratic peo-
pie. Let the Ratchet be buried in
truth this year, and unity and
good will prevail.

BILL Dalton has finally gone the
The way of all transgreSsors of the
law, and died with his boots on
near Elk Station, in the Territory.
1t was he who led the attack on
the Longview bank and it was by
his hand that George Buckingham
died. His tragic end will not deter
others from travelling the same
road. Some men thirst after mo-
tariety and will sacrifice everything
in the world to get it.

To Our Friends,
The Consumers.

There are some articles Of do
nestle economy which, though or
iginally of good quality, loose much
of their freshness, flavor and vital
ity by transportation from distant
markets, or become stale by long
sojourn in warehouses or passing
through too many hands,
To remedy this and to insure ab-
solute freshness and purity, we are
now manufacturing our own brands
of BAKING POWDER and ROAS-
TED COFFEE-two articles essen
tial to the comfort and luxury of
every household--and we will see
that other articles bearing our reg
istered brand (APEX BRAND)are
always of the same undoubted ex-
cellence and absolutely standard.
We suggest that you call for these
goods at your grocer's, and feel as
sured that you will like them.

are most in demand. The Irishman

Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?

1t is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder IS
the purest and strongest of all the baking powders.
The purest baking powder makes the finest, sweet
est, most delicious food. The strongest baking pow
der makes the lightest food.
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most ~digestible and wholesome
food.
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble?
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 rendei the food unwholesome.
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
Royal, which is absolutely pure.
