WHAT DOES 1T MEAN?
Fact or Fiction About Two Great Fair
Awards

A newspaper paragraph denounces as
"false" the claim of a baking powder
company to an award at the World S
Fair. Whom can it mean?
Certainly not DR.. Prices. Why? Be-
cause. as the records show, DR.. Price S
exhibited, competed and received the
highest award, both at Chicago and the
California Midwinter Fair. The award in
California included Gold Medal. The
official examiners pronounced it the
strongest, the purest, the most wholesome
and efficient of all the baking powders.
It's Title TO confidence IS unquesiloned.
Can 1t be the manufacturers of New
York powder. fctitiously labeled "abso-
lutely Dure" who are making false
claims? That would be strange indeed.
luasmuch as they were not even consid-
cred in the awards
Was it Ammonia in the New York
powder that prevented its makers from
competing? Ii not what?

Coxey's army has come and gone.
1t was a very tame detachment
that passed through here. 1t was
as good as circus to the town.
Everybody was glad of an oppor-
tunity to see what Coxey's army
looked like, and, while they would
not like visitation of this kind
every day, they enjoyed the visit of
the modern crusaders immensely.
They came Monday evening, %
strong, in command OF Capt" L. e.
Stephenson. They were not mean
looking set of men by any means,
and number Of them were recog-
nized as laboring men who have
worked along the Great Northern.
The citizens appeared to think that
the best way out of the dilemma
would be to feed them up and help
them along. Hoy's hall was donated
for barracks by the liberal owners
A stove was provided by w. #. Kalb
and the merchants and citizens do
mated flour, bacon, spuds and other
necessaries. AS there were good
cooks among the Industrials, they
were soon rolling in clover. Mat
tresses were procured for them, and
they probably got the best supper
and most comfortable sleep that
they had had for a month. They
remained in their quarters and
rested up on Tuesday.
Tuesday evening, at about 10
o'clock, an engine and caboose
backed down from Troy to get the
work train and boarding cars which
were side-tracked here. The In
dustrials were soon on to the racket
and hastily packed up and took a
sneak up the track to await the
coming of the train. They halted
just beyond the trustle above
Eaton. As Engineer Smith round
ed the curve, he saw a lantern
swung across the track, signaling
him to stop. As he slowed up, the
lndustrials piled on. Deputy Sher-
iff O'Callahan and his eight assist
ants were not in it. The Coxeyites
mixed in with the workingmen
aboard so quickly that they could
for the time do nothing. AS the
train was slowing down, Conductor
Gordon was signaling from the
caboose to go ahead, and so the en-
gineer pulled the throttle open and
away the train flew up the track
towards Troy. The train ran near
ly to Leonia before O'Callahan
could get things Strengthened out
and the train stopped. When he
ordered the 'Wealers off, they obey
I'd without trouble, and the train
pulled out leaving the army ditched
1t a lonely spot by the Kootenai
River, with cold, drizzling rain
coming down.
In the meantime all was excite
nent at the depot, where it was
pretty generally believed that the
Joxeyites had captured the train
md made off with it, carrying off
