No Substitutes

Fer Royal Baking Powder. The "Royal~
is shown by all tests, official, scientific, and prae-
tical, stronger, purer. and better in every way
than all other Baking Powders. Its superiority
is privately acknowledged by other manufac-
turers, and well known by all dealers.
If some grocers try to sell another baking
powder in place of the "Royal," it is because of
the greater profit. This of itself is good evidence
ofthe superiority of the Royal" To give greater
profit the other must be a lower cost powder, and
to cost less it must be made with cheaper and
inferior materials, and thus, though selling for the
same, give less value to the consumer.
LOOK with suspicion upon every attempt to palm off
upon you any baking powder in place of the
"Royal." There is no substitute for the Royal"

BREcEINRIDGE was defeated by Owens
in the Ashland district. There was
hardly any other conclusion TO be reach
ed. No man could have hoped to have
succeeded under such circumstances or
in the face of such an opposition.
Breckenridge opposition was not con-
fined to his district alone, but it was all
over the State, a thing which never oc-
CURED before. 1t is best for the morals
OF the State that the nomination was not
given TO Breckenridge, but so far as the
man himself is concerned,i it has certainly
sealed his fate.

Anyhow there has been a triumph Of
right and morality and women, true good
women like Mrs. Julia Hunt and Mrs.
James Mulligan and hundreds of others
have been largely instrumental in the
glorious victory. Kentucky's clear. Let
iervent prayers ascend to the Father for
hearing and answering fervent petitions
from pure hearts.
Ina speech delivered recently by the
Emperor Of Germany he ehjons upon
the women of his domain TO initiate
their Empress by devoting their attent-
ion chiefly to the three great "C's"-
church, children and cookery-and that
reminds me that an adept in the last
has paid largely for a Breckenridge
county girl. She is one of a large family
of daughters and on Xmas she sent to
her brother out in Oklahoma, a box of
home edibles, cakes, sweet meats, etc.
The brother invited comrade to partake
of Kentucky viands. This young gent
concluded that any girl who could pre-
pare such delicacies was a prize worth
capturing. "He came, he saw, he con-
quered" and now she is Happy wife
and queen of hearts in pretty, western
home. "The way to a mans heart is
down his throat" girls, and she is pre-
ferable to one who wishes to amend the
Constitution and the Emperor's advice
is well timed Attention to culinary
affairs need not interfere with cultivation
of the mind and heart To be a SYSTEM
attic house-keeper and experienced cook
are as elegant accomplishments as any
OF the fine arts and they should rank as
such.

Letters From The People.

EDITOR NEws.--In your last issue, under
the head of "Snap Shots From The Peo-

blankets, the same blanket sold last
year for s. will sell this year for -.
This is what the new tariff has done for
blankets" / sold last year 100 pounds
of wool for S25. 100 pounds of wool is
now worth Sl4. Loss to me Sll. Ten
men in Breckenridge county sell wool
where one man buys a blanket. So you
see ten men lose Sll, making $40 and
one man gains 81, and that is what the
new tariff has done for the people.

which he died soon after. The names OF

Brazen Impotence He Thought,

Awest-bound train had just pulled
out Of the Union Station at Albany,
says the Express, and the conductor
was harvesting tickets. All the seats
we're taken and several passengers were
obliged to stand up. Among the latter
was u di dident-looking, mild-msnnered
man, who refused to give up a ticket.
when I get a seat, you get a ticket"
he remarked mildly, but firmly you
are probably aware that the company
can not collect fares from passengers
whom 1t does not provide with seats"
"Oh, come now, that don't go; l want
your ticket, see?" Thus spoke the
conductor. "No seat, no ticket" la
conically observed the passenger.
"We'll see about that" growled the
conductor, who hustled around and
finally found a Observation-Disclosures who
was going up the road n way, whom he
induced to give up his seat to the
mildly firm passenger. There's a seat
for you; now givemethat ticket" said
the conductor, in a ferocious tone.
"Certainly, here it is" Andthe mild,
Ebut firm, passenger handed out q pass

Wonderful Nerve.

The great railroad strike has caused
h.rdsnips TO hundreds OF people In
this region, and some very grave hard
ships, but that borne by James Nc
Murtie, u brakeman on the Santa Fe
Railroad, is the severest OF them all.
McMurtie was coupling some freight
cars that had been left at Barstov aud
had his left hand badly crushed. For
four DAYS he bathed his hand in cold
water and used all the linimeDts that
could be had about Barstow station.
He walked the floor day and night be-
cause of his agony.
Signs OF blood-poisoning began to
show themselves In the wound, and
McMurtie knew that something ought
to be done in the way of a surgical
operation at once. There was no one
else to do it, SO he resolved to 60 to
work on himself. He retired to his
room, carefully sharpened his knife,
barred his left arm and began cutting
and hacking at his hand.
He actually cut away his " hand
below the wrist. The pain was hor.
rible, but, gritting his teeth, he kept
at the amputation. He was heard-to
fall upon the floor, and several men
rushed in to find him fainting upon
the floor, with his bleeding stump Of
a hand at his side.
When Nc Murtie was restored to
consciousness he directed the dressing
OF his severed hand. A few hours
later a man who had been a physician
and surgeon happened to ride into
Barstow from the mines, and he took
Nc Murtie's case in hand, and at last
reports he was doing we'll. Pomona

She Fought With Wolves.

James McGrew tells us that last
Thursday his wife and daughter were
In the timber picking flowers, when
for a time they became separated. Six
wolves attacked the little girl, and
when she began to scream her dog
came to her rescue.
When the mother returned she found
her daughter backed mp against q tree
and the dog having n hand-to-hand
fight with tho ugly brutes. Mrs.
McGrew frightened them of and started
for home. The wolves followed them,
bowling, barking and lighting. This
happened near Egg Lake, this county.
