ArERLoo, August 27.--Several resi-

among them the residence of Frank
HeclSel. Two fellows entered as this
place and held revolvers at the heads
of Mr.. and Mrs. Heckel, threatening to
shoot If any outcry was made. Mrs.
Heckel shouted for help and the fell
lows Skipped, Mr.. Heckel fired at
them. Eight or ten shots were ex-
changed, but the burglars made their
escape. Later on they entered two
other houses and took a pair of shoes
at each place, as they left their own
outside of Mr.. HeckeIs7residence, and
when he commenced firing at, them
they could not stay to get their shoes
The officers got onsttheir trail and
captured them in the timber along the
Black Hawk. Each was heavily armed,
and they had two fine gold watches
and quite an amount of jewelry. They
were identified, and when they We're
captured they had the stolen shoes on
their feet. They claim to have come
from Marshalltown.

Story From Bluefelds Which Calls for In
vestigation.
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 27.-From in
formation received in the steamer
Gussie, of the Southern Pacific line, the
Nicaraguan government has defed the
governments of both the United States
and Great Britain and has taken into
custody representatives of both
nations. The commanders Of the war
vessels which have been at the seat Of
disturbance for the past month have
stood tamely by and permitted the
soldiers of Nicaragua to arrest the sub
jects of their respective countries and
made no protest and the consequence
of this apathy may be the loss of posi-
bly, dozen lives and the confiscation
of the property of the prisoners.
When the Gussie left Bluefelds the
people of that town were in hourly an
ticipation of the Near aguans attempt
ing further indignities and threaten
ing the peace of the place by placing
the rem ainder of the American and
native population under arrest. The
officers of the Gussie, familiar as they
are with the condition of affairs in the
disturbed country, consider that a
crisis is at hand and the time for action
on the part of the United States is now
or never

WASHINGTON, August 30. Repre-
sentative Stones bill for consular in
spection of emigrants coming to this
country became involved in confer
ence committee deadlock and thus goes
over to the next session. AS the bill
passed the house it directed United
States consuls at foreign ports to in
spect immigrants before they embark
ed. When the measure reached the
senate the Hill anti-anarchist bill
was adopted as substitute. Thus the
house and senate passed radically diff
ferent bills, and there was no way of
harmonizing them in conference. It
was determined to try and get the
anti-anarchist bill through the senate
as separate measure, but this failed.
If it had succeeded the conferees
might have reported in favor of the
Stone bill. As it is the whole subject
goes over until next session.

Docking Salaries Saved Thousands of
Dollars.
WASHINGTON, August 30.--Sergeant-
alarms Snow, of the house, has had an
exceptionally busy session, as his office
was largely responsible for the quiet OF
the capitol during the Coxey excite
ment, and, aside from this, there have
been several innovations in docking
the salaries of members and Of making
arrests, all of which is under the di-
rection of the sergeant-at-arms The
new system of docking salaries OF alb
sentees has left an aggregate OF sew
eral thousand dollars, perhaps $4,000,
of the forfeited pay Of members, in the
Lands of the sergeant-at-arms This
goes back into the treasury, SO that the
government gains considerable by the
transaction. 1t has resulted, also, in
keeping members in Washington, and
there has hardly been time since the
docking began that the house was I'M
able to do business for want of quorum,
This constant presence OF quorum has
done away with the necessity of arrest
ing members, which was the most OBJ
jectionable duty of the sergeant-at-
arms The new system of counting
members present but not voting" in
order to make quorum has further
improved and made effective the new
method of doing business. The expe-
riences of the session have shown that
the system now in force will be per-
manent at least as long as the present
managers of the house are in authority.

IMPORTANT FOOD TESTS.
How to Produce More Economical an,
HeaIthfnI Articles for the Table.

HeaIthfnl Articles for the Table.
The official food analyses by the
United States and Canadian govern
ments have been studied with interest.
The United States government report
gives the names of eighteen well-known
baking powders, some of them adver
tised as pure cream-of-tartar powders,
which contain alum.
The report shows the Royal to- be a
pure cream7of-tartar bal1in powder,
the highest in strength, evolving 1906
cubic inches Of leavening gas per sin
gle ounce of powder. There were
eight other brands of /. cream f-tartar
powders tested, and their average
strength was 111.5 cubic inches of gas
per ounce Of powder.
The Canadian government investiga-
tions were of still larger number of
powders. The Royal Baking Powder
was here also shown the purest and
highest in strength, containing forty
five per cent. more leavening gas per
ounce than the average of all the
other cream-of-tartar powders
These figures are very instructive to
the practical housekeeper. They indi-
cate that the Royal Baking Powder
goes more than 33 per cent further in
use than the others, or is one-third
more economical. Still more import
ant than this, however, they prove this
popular article has been brought to the
highest degree of purlty--for to its SUI
perlative purity this superiority in
strength is due-and consequently that
by its use we may be insured the pur-
est and most wholesome food.
The powders of lower strength are
found to leave large amounts of impur-
tiles in the food. This fact is empha-
sized by the report of the Ohio State
Food Commissioner, who while finding
the Royal practically pure, found no
other powder to contain less than 10
per cent. of inert or foreign matters.
The statistics show that there is used
in the manufacture of the Royal Bak
ing Powder more than half of all the
cream-of tartar consumed in the United
States for all purposes. The won
derful sale thus indicated for the Royal
Baking Powder-greater than that of
all other baking powders combined-is
perhaps even a higher evidence than
that already quoted of the superiority
of this article, and of it's Indispensable
ness to modern cookery

FIRST STEP TAKEN.
Ship Canal From Lake Erie to the Ohio is
Now Within Sight.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2s.-The project
of a ship canal from Lake Erie to the
Ohio river has had advocates Tor many
years both in and out of congress and
has had opponents as we'll The first
practical step toward solution of the
engineering scheme is taken in the
river and harbor appropriation act of
this year, requiring the secretary of
war to appoint a board of army engin-
GERS to make a survey Of the different
routes proposed and to report to the
next session of congress as to the
practicability of the project and its
cost. Three routes proposed are from
Erie to Pittsburg, from Cleveland to
Marietta, O.. and from Toledo to Gin
cinnatti. There is already existing an
all-water way for canal boats over
each of these routes. The cost of
widening and deepening the channels
and putting in locks so as to accommo-
date vessels of $50 tons burden is what
is sought to ascertain. While the
floating of the vessels without unload
ing from the lakes to the gulf is fas-
cinating conception, the opponents of
the expenditure urge that the vessels
built SO as to navigate the lakes would
be helpless after getting into the Ohio
river. On the other hand it IS argued
that an all-water route for the Mich
igan iron ores and the Pennsylvania
and Ohio coal supply is the only thing
that will enable the western Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio manufacturers to com
pete with the fast developing industry
in the south. Advocates of the pro-
ject see prospects of an enormous
growth of the water traffic if the canal
is completed. An authoritive settle

Over Hundred Acres Fire in Clinton

CLINTON, August 29.-The fire which
was started in the Goose Lake bottoms,
in Clinton county, nearly six weeks
ago, is still burning, the rains which
have fallen having had no effect in
stopping its progress. Several farmers
tried ditching about the burned dis
trict with but partial success, and the
fire continues to eat its way eastward.
But little smoke arises. There are now
over ITO acres in the burned district,
the fire extending from six to eight
inches in depth. There is generally a
top dressing of ordinary soil of a few
inches, and below this extends the
peat beds to a depth of several feet.
This top remains as a crust until the
peat is burned from under it and then
it caves in.
