Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?

1t is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the Purest and strongest of all the baking powders.
The Purest baking powder makes the finest, sweet
est most delicious food. The strongest baking pow
der makes the lightest food.
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestble and wholesome
food
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble?
Avoid all baking powders sod with a gift
or prize, or at lower price than the Royal,
as they invariably contain alum, lime sui
phuric acid and render the food unwholesome.
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
Royal, which is absolutely pure.

KANSAS RAILROADING.

Ten carloads of coal are delivered
daily in North Topeka for the Rock
Island by the Santa Fe from their
mines.
The express car that underwent the
''war'' in the Santa Fe holdup at Sylvia
is now in the Santa Fe yards at Topeka
for repairs. The battered door and the
several bullet holes in the sides of the
car form an interesting sight to the Gu
rious sight-seer.
Railroad men held a conference at
st. Joseph to determine what shall be

there. Representatives of the following
roads were there: Burlington, Santa

and the Missouri Pacific. The thousand
shares of the union depot represented
capital stock of 100000, and the roads
named are the owners.
The movements to secure an adjust

lines which the receivers have decided
to lop off from active participation
in the traffic affairs of the main line
and the original system. Judge Cald-

modified will cause the receivers to make
a thorough investigation of the bust
ness of the branches and make to the
court such recommendations as they
deem advisable end beneficial to the
system.

AMONG KANSAS CHURCH PEOPLE


Hoisington Dispatch: The Swedish
Lutheran church is much the strongest
church of any in Saline or Mcpherson
counties. 1t has membership of over
5000 in these counties alone. having
$50 in the town of Lindsborg. The
members make splendid citizens and are
credit to the community in which they
dwell
A suit was recently filed in the dis
trict court of Wyandotte county which
is creating quite sensation in the
junction school district, two miles
southwest of Argentine. Several years
ago the citizens of the district built a
church that was understood to be used
as union church. David Matney, who
is the owner of the property on which
the building was erected, is a member of
the Baptist church. Some of the mem
bers of the church believed that the
Baptists should have entire control of
the property, and asked Mr.. Matney to
deed the land to the church, but this he
refused to do, as he claimed the church
was to be used by all as a'unIon church.
The Methodists recently organized
church, and this was too much for the
Baptists, consequently they fled a suit
against David Matney to compel him to
deed the land occupied by the building
to the Baptist church. The suit was
brought up in the district court several
days ago, but was continued until the
April term of court. A large number of
witnesses have been called and the costs
of the suit will be large before decision
is rendered

In the edifce of health is vigor, which means
not merely muscular energy, but an active
discharge of the various functions of the
body, such as digestion, secretion of the bile,
the action of the bowels, the circulation Of the
blood. Nothing more actively and thor
oughly contributes to the united performance
of these functions than the renowned tonic
and regulator, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
The result of its use is a speedy gain in
strength, together with the agreeable con-
seriousness that the tenure of life is being
strengthened-that one is LAYING up store Of
vitality against the unavoidable draughts
which old age makes upon the system. The
fortifying influence of the Bitters constitute
1t reliable safeguard against malaria, rheu

one opinion to offer-that the convention
should be held in this city; that immedi-
ate and united action in the matter should
be taken by all citizens, and that nothing
should be left undone to carry the issue to
successful end.
The benefits that the State would derive
from such a gathering, made up of the
men who are foremost and most powerful
in the direction of national affairs, are
pointed out in the opinions of citizens
quoted 1t is held that the benefits that
would accrue to the whole West, and par
ticularly the coast, from the gathering,
would speedily pay for the expenditure
the community would be put to and would
be like the bread cast upon the waters.
Democrats as well as Republicans are
willing and anxious to aid the movement,
and once started plenty of pressure will be
found among the people to encourage those
undertaking the task. That an effort will
be made in the direction indicated there
seems no reason to doubt.
The Union League Club will probably
take the initial step. The members are
anxious to take up the proposition, and
Just as soon as General Backus, who is now
indisposed, is able to be about again a
meeting will be held for the purpose and
the necessary committees appointed. Kim
dred organizations will be asked to coop
crate and canvass of the city will be made
to learn to what extent the people will go
in the way of contributing to the expenses
attending great gathering of this charac-
ter and the entertainment of the guests in
q manner becoming the renowned hospi-
tality of California.
The obstacles in the way of holding the
convention in San Francisco are consid-
cred trihing compared to the advantages
to be reaped The chief difficulty is
thought to be the remote location of the
city on the western coast and the long
Journey across the continent. This argu-
ment against holding the convention here,
however, is offset by the splendid accom-
modations offered the travelling public by
the many thoroughly equipped transconti-
made. Again, it is pointed out on the
other hand that once national political
convention meets here in the cool and
agreeable days of June and July, and dele
gates become convinced of San Francisco s
merits as convention town it will be hard
to put check on the others, who will be
ambitious to follow. The conventions of
different bodies held here in the past testi-
fy to the many advantages the city offers
by annually renewing their visits.
Anyway strong, determined effort will
be made to secure for San Francisco its
first Republican national convention.

WOULD HELP LEGISLATION.
REASONS WHY THE CONVENTION
SHOULD BE BROUGHT HERE.

Thomas V. Gator, who was the Populists'
candidate for United States Senator, said:
~ think it most desirable. The class of
men who attend national conventions are
influential in the States from which they
come, and would make known their i'm
pressions of US and our State and distrib-
ute the information received in much
more general way than could be done by
any other means.
81 can conceive of no gathering that
would do us more good than Presidential
convention The convention, if held here,
would be a lasting benefit, not only from
an industrial and commercial point of
view, but also in the matter of legislation
at Washington.
81 have no doubt but that the Republi-
can convention can be had here by a con-
certed movement of the citizens SUI
ficient inducements, however, must be al
lowed in the way of transportation. The
rates should be made as cheap as to Chi
cago from the most remote section of the
Union. | would favor San Francisco pro-
viding free transportation for the delegates
to the convention"
Rolla V. Watt also discussed the trans
portation feature and said that it was this
difficulty that defeated him in bringing the
International Christian Endeavor conven-
ton to San Francisco. The convention,
which met in Montreal last year, agreed to
come here providing reduced transporta-
ton could be secured. In this he failed,

FREIGHT CHARGES ON ORANGES.
Charles Gerber Takes His Case Into
Missouri Circuit Court.


Missouri Circuit Court.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. i4.-In the Circuit Court
to-day Judge Dillon heard the case OF
Charles Gerber, who bought carload of
oranges at Santa Paula, Cal. His bill of
lading called for the payment of 1862 80
freight, in accordance with the agreement
of the freight agent at Santa Paula. They
were shipped by the Southern Pacific and
reached st. Louis by the Wabash. Here a
freight bill of $500 was presented. Gerber
refused to pay it. but made an offer of
1862 30, and on its being refused he re-
plevined the fruit.
The goods were shipped in ice, but the
bill of lading did not disclose the fact AT
Ogden the mistake was discovered and the
bill of lading was corrected and the freight
bill was raised from 1852 so to $500, oranges
shipped in ice requiring the higher rate
The Wabash claims that although the
freight agent at Santa Paula made the rate
on the oranges from that point to st. Louis,
his contract does not bind. the railroad
companies, for the reason that these lines
were working under the interstate COM
merce act and had filed their tariffs with
the Interstate Commerce Commission, and
since these tariffs had made the rate on
oranges shipped in ice $500 per carload, the
agent had no authority to make different
rate.
Judge Dillon took the matter under ad-
visement.
The morning call., 1895-02-15

the Republican National Committee, and
welding considerable influence in national
affairs, may be regarded as friendly to the
proposition, though it will require the
united strength of the citizens of San
Francisco to carry the project to success
ful issue. His opinion, however, may be
looked upon as an indication that success
is among the possibilities.
General Backus, who is president of the
Union League Club, and NJ. NJ. Estee, SEN
ator A. P. Williams, Senator Carpenter and
General Frederick, all more or less promi-
nent in the councils of the party, have
given the matter some study but have
reached no definite conclusions. They are
all of the one mind, however that the time
has arrived when San Francisco should set
forth its claims to the national gathering
in strong and convincing language. The
subject was discussed among the members
who gathered at the clubrooms last night,
and the feeling was unanimous in favor OF
immediate and suitable action.
There are so many arguments in favor of
holding the convention here" said Sena-
tor Williams, that one hardly knows
where to begin. The idea of bringing such
a representative body of men to California
would unquestionably be of great benefit
to the State. 1t would tend to help this
coast materially in the matter of appro-
priations, and as you know, California has
been sadly neglected in that respect. 1t
would also demonstrate that the West is a
factor in national politics.
81 think that apart from politics all the
people, Democrats as well as Republicans
would cheerfully respond to any appeal
for the entertainment of the delegates in
accordance with California's old time hos
pitality.'

Mrs. Hyams became alarmed, hired a

General W. H. L. Barnes had this to say
on the subject of the Republicans coming
here:
''I think the bringing of such body,

would be of great benefit to the whole
