A Pure Baking Powder.

A baking powder that can be depended up
on to be free from lime and alum is desider-
atum in these days of adulterated food. So
far be judged from the official reports,
Royal seems to be the only one yet found
by chemical analyses to be entirely without
one the other of these substances, and alb
solute1y pure This, it is shown, results from
the exclusive use by its manufacturers of
cream of tartar specially refined and prepared
by patent processes which totally remove the
tartrae of lime and other impurities. The
cost of this chemically pure cream of tartar is
much greater than any other, and it is used
in no baking powder except the "Royal'' the
manufacturers of which control the patents
under which it is refined.
DR.. Edward G. Love, formerly analytical
chemist for the u. S. Government. who made
the analyses for the New York State Board of
Health in their investigation of baking pow
ders, and whose intimate knowledge of the
ingredients of all those sold in this market
enables him to speak authoritatively, says
the purity, wholesomeness and superior quail
ity of the "Royal:''
IT find the Royal Baking Powder composed
of pure and wholesome ingredients. 1t is a
cream of tartar powder and does not contain
either alum Or phosphates, or other injurious
substance
Prof. Loves tests, and the recent official
tests by both the United States and Canadian
Governments, show the Royal Baking Powder
to be superior to all others in strength and
leavening power. 1t is not only the most &C.
onomicai in use, but makes the purest, finest
favored and most wholesome food,

WRIT I SAW OUT WEST.
BY DAVID HILL.

After a sumptuous dinner at Hotel
Morgan I struck ut for Immigration
Canyon through which Brigham
Young and his followers passed when
they entered into the valley OF Salt
Lake. Going down Main Street took
an electric car, and after passing Mt.
Olivet, the Mormon burying ground,
thence, across the military reser
walton, was finally landed at Fort
Douglass, two miles east of the city,
and al which point the railway ended.
From the Fort 70 the Canyon was a
distance of two miles more which I
traversed on foot. Once in the vicinity
L clambered up over rocks and bould-
ers, and atalast, at four O'Clock, the
exact hour at which it is said the
Mormons first obtained a view
of the valley, I was standing where
they stood, at that point where the
sides of the canyon suddenly ended,

Congress has passed and the Presi-
a month for the widow of Gen. Corse.
It was Gen. Corse who ''held the fort"
in answer to Gen. Sherman's signal
from Kenesaw mountain, and his ca
reer, from the beginning of the war to
the close, was one of the most brilliant
and picturesque in it's annals. He was
five times wounded but this did not
keep him from almost continuous SER
vice. Gen. Corse's widow is the niece
of President Pierce, and lives in a
quiet country home in Winchester,

the only system of worship there is
in the city. In fact I noticed but few
things to indicate that the city differed
| from any other, either in the manner
of traffic or in the daily walk and lbe-
havior of the inhabitants. It is a live
ly place, full Of the rush of business, is
daily growing, and as one looks down
upon It from the nights Of immigration
Canyon he cannot help but feel that
it is not only one of the prettiest, but
with it's surroundings, the most inter
esting cities in the west.
From immigration Canyon return
ed to Fort Douglass and spent short
| time inspecting the barracks, officers
quarters, etc. Fort or Camp Douglass
as it is frequently called, was estab-
lished Oct. 1862 by Gen. P. E. Conner,

The Fort with its reservation is sit
uated in highly salubrious location,
commands beautiful view, and
everything about the place is neat and
clean and kept in the best of order.
The soldiers, too, are exceedingly
gentlemanly fellows, and seem willing
to inform the traveller with any infor-
nation that is in their power to give.
Off to the north, and at no great dis
lance away, could be seen Ensign
mountain, Or rather, two mountains
of similar shape and situated close to-
gether, between which it is said Brig
ham Young used to go for inspiration
and to get his revelations from the
Lord. When I started for Immigration
Canyon it was on the south side of the
city and by the Mormon electric rail
way. When I returned from the Fort
[ took the Gentiles' road and travers
ed the north side. In this way, as the
employees of each road are always
anxious to supply information with
relations to their own creed and places
of local interest, and slight the oppo-
site side, you can become compare
lively we'll posted in both and draw
your own conclusions between the
two. Then, again, the Gentiles' read
on the north takes you past Brigham
Young's grave, the Temple, under
meath Eagle Gate, past the Lion and
Bee Hive houses, and also around
portion of the great wall which at one
time enclosed the whole Of Brigham
Young's estates. AS it was near night
when I again entered the city I was
compelled to postpone my rambles

SHANGHAI, Ocs. 10.-Various local
rumors are in circulation, the most
prominent being that 10000 Japanese
troops have landed near Suan Hsikwen,
on the boundary between the Chinese
provinces of Manchuria and Hing Ii,
at the eastern end of the great wall
which traverses China. The telegraph
wires have bsen cut, thus hindering
communication with that district.
A report which ia olassed here as un.
reliable, says the Japanese have effected
landing near New Chang, in the gull
of Logo Ton.
1t is reported that several Japanese
warships have been sighted off Takauar.
A dispatch received from Tien Tsin
states that the British and Russian min
isters have arrived there and that they
will proceed at once to Pekin.
Another which reached this city is
that after a skirmish, which took place
north OF the Yalu river yesterday, the
Japsnese posts were driven back across
the river.
Advices received here from Port
drtnur cay tnht tne repelrH TO the
Chinese fleet engaged in the battle of
Yalu river have been completed and the
lot will proceed to sea today.
Suan Haikwan whore the Japanese
are reported to have landed 40, 600 troops
is directly on the railroad building from
Tien Tain to Moukden, and is of great
strategic importance, in fact the opinion
is expressed shat If Suan Haikwan is
captured there is nothing to prevent the
Japanese marching on to Pekin. A
Japanese fleet was reported to have been
sighted off Suan Haikwan Sept. 29th.
LONDON, Oct. 10.-A dispatch from
Shanghai today says that tens OF thou
sands of Chinese troops are waiting for
arms.
A dispatch from Berlin alleges that
China has asked Germany to use her
good offices to terminate the war with

that the order vacating the award of the
