I regard Prof. Ecrsford's Bakinr
Powder rs healthful and nutritious,
1t being composed Of phosphate acid
and bi-carbonate of soda. The excel
lence Of this combination is SO uni
vcrsally commended by physicians
and chemists that NV Endorsement is
simply superfiuous. Bread made
from unbolted or graham II .ur is
more healtbful than that made from
refined -four, simply because the lat

tious phosphate. Horsford's pow
der restores tn the -four the phos-
pilates removed in the boiling pro-

Of the bread by that amount. The
phosphates aid the digestion. and
nourish and invigorate the brain aud

A PERMANENT GUARDIAN.
That for James Thcfni,s0n OF Daven-
ports Wealth.est Cttizens.

ports wealth.est Citizens.
In the district court at Davenport.
Judge Waterman has handed down
decree in the case of the guardian
ship of James Thompson, one of
Dayenport's wealthiest citizens. The
decree cites the fact that the court
has found the assets of Mr.. Ihomp-
son TO amount to about 81. POO, 600,
but that this amount is offset bv
large liabilities. both direct and con-
tingent. 1t is found that during the
recent tight financial situation Mr..
Thompson sold and assigned large
amount of notes and personally guar
anteed the collection and full paw
ment of the same. In many in
stances the real estate security Tor
the notes is inadequate or has shrunk
in value so that it could not be sold
for sufficient to pay the amount of
he note, leaving Mr.. Thompson liza
bic TO pay the note in fnil and re-
coup as far as possible from the de-
preciatcd security. In the light of
these facts the court finds that DR..
Thompson is unable 10 pay his la
bilitics in the ordinary course Of
business, and declares the estate in
solvent. Joe Il. Lane is appointed
permanent guardian on account OF
Mr.. Thompson's incapacity for the
management of his business, anc is
directed to settle the estate in lii g
manner to the usual insol vent estate.
While the assets amount to 81. POO
900, the liabilities will not exceed
$3.50, 900. The estate is declared in
solvent by the court at this time be-
cause il would be impossible to dis
pose of the assets m forced sale and
realize enough cash to meet the La
biiities now due and as they mature.

The Union Spy WAS at the Opera House
on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
Evenings.
The tableau entitled the Battle Of
Shiloh" was rendered at the opera house
three evenings last week. Excitement
ran high, but at the time Of the war this
battle was looked upon as mere skirm-
ish compared to what followed. The
cast of characters was from local talent.
1t was indeed remarkable that everyone
should, I'm so short time, commit, re-
hearse and perform the entire program
without a break.
1t was given under the auspices Of the
S. Of "; two gentlemen from Fremont,
O., furnished the books, scenery, assisted
in the play and received per cent Of the
receipts. To individuals who were old
enough to recall the April days Of 1862
the play was Of more than ordinary in
terest as it was really the first great
battle Of the civil war.

FLAMES DESTROYING CROPS.

Many Fields of Standing Grain in Northern
Wisconsin Fire.
CUMBERLAND, Wis, July 25.-Forest
fires are raging for more than hundred
miles along the line of the North Wis
consin division Of the Omaha railroad,
between Ashland and Superior on the
north and Chippewa Falls and New
Richmond Oh the south. Thousands of
cords of wood and cross ties are on fire;
also fields Of standing as well as har-
vested grain and hay Every farmer
through whose farm the railroad passes
has watchers along the track to guard
against the breaking out of fire from
sparks from the engines. The drought
has become appalling and farmers were
much discouraged before the forest fires
began to run. Now it looks as if little
would be left to them on which to
weather a long, cold winter. Spring
grain is already an absolute failure and
corn and potatoes will not amount to
one-quarter Of a crop in many localities,
even ii we get rain now.

Manifested at Washington as to What the
Senate Will Do.
WASHINGTON, July 25.-Every seat in
the galleries was filled again when the
senate met. Resumption of the heavy
firing against the executive was antici-
pated. The strain and excitement were
almost as intense as when the senate
convened Monday. The senators them
selves were slow in arriving, most Of
them remaining in the cloak rooms un-
til the morning business was completed.
Senator Villas Of Wisconsin, who was ex-
pected to defend the president against
some of the aspersions cast upon him,
was, however, on hand early, and so
was Senator Hill of New York, who was
also billed for speech.
Senator Hill took the floor Immediately
after the morning hour and proceeded
with his argument in about the same
line as on Friday last, supporting the
presidents view.

Investigation of Kansas Populists Almost

Investigation of Kansas Populists Almost
Results in a Tragedy.
TOPEKA, Kan, July :o.-A dispatch
to The Capital from Lansing says: The
investigation of charges made against
Populist officials of the Kansas peniten-
tiary was mere farce, though it came
near ending in tragedy. When the
penitentialy directors opened the inves-
tigation Judge Mcdonnell, for the COM
plainants, asked for continuance.
While the board was deiberating on
this point Warden Chase appeared in
Judge McDonnell's room and they
ended brisk conversation by calling
each other liars. At this Chase grabbed
Mcdonnell by the collar and
Struck Him Nine Vicious Blows
on the back Of the head Friends rushed
in to separate the combatants when a
mix up occurred and knives and pistols
were drawn After the assault on Judge
Mcdonnell Chase's opponents were ter
rorized and refused absolutely to have
anything to do with the investigation.
In the afternoon Judge Mod could
not appear and the prosecution was de-
clared closed without word of testi-
mony Six witnesses testified for Chase
and they made a good showing against
the charges. Judge Mcdonnell states
he will prosecute Warden Chase on the
charge Of assault with intent to kill.
The judge is 81 years Of age.

More Double Standard Morality.

MITCHELL REPUBLICANS: When
you come to analyZe the existing stu
alton. isn't it true that we are all more
or less anarchistic when any particular
law stands in the way of our selfish
desires? Isn't it the same spirit in a
modified degree, perhaps, that actuates
US when we shoot chickens out OF sea-
son, or encourage violation OF the pro-
hibitory law, or contrive to hide some
of our property from the assessor. or
take 3 per cent month when the law
forbids it, or beat the railroad company
out OF u ride-isn'l this he same spirit
that has been carried to extremes IN
Chicago recently?
Sioux Falls Press: There Is "a dis
tinction which ought TO be made IN
regard TO these matters. The 'eplt1t

The argument that the election OF
United States senators by the people
will prevent corruption in legislation
is about as logical as that other argu-
ment that government ownership will
prevent railroad strikes. We can't
agree with the Argus-Leader that the
standard of morals is higher in The
house than in the senate. The mem
hers OF the former body were influenced
to stand for the Wilson bill by the
bribery OF patronage, while the sena'
tors found there was more in 1t for then
to stand in with the trusts.
