Many receipts as published still call for
cream of tartar and soda, the old-fashioned
way of raising. Modern cooking and ex-
pert cooks do not sanction this old way.
In all such receipts the Royal Baking Pow
der should be substituted without fail.

The Royal Baking Powder is the purest

It Dashed Into Post-Street Cable Car
Last Evening.
Chief Sullivan of the Fire Department
visited the Olympic Club last evening. He
rode there in buggy, and left his rig out
side while he was inside. Along came a
Post-street cable-car, No. 707. Something
scared the horse just then and it made
dash for the cable-car. The dash was so
fierce that the right shaft of the buggy was
driven clear through the iron facing of the
car and the front seat was smashed. But
what was far worse is that Chief Sullivan's
horse-one of the very best in the Fire De-
partment-was seriously injured. And all
of this happened about half past o'clock

q SHOT THE WRONG MAN."
DiaboIicaI Revenge of Train Robber Who Had Been Frustrated is Fatally
 Shot Himself.

St. Joseph, Mo, May 1.-The BurIing- ton officials here received information last night that the Omaha express would be held up at St. George, a suburb of this city. Six or seven tough looking men had been hanging around there for a couple of days The information was furnished by a hotel man, named Haag, who over heard the plot. He notified the officials, and they frustrated the attempt.
 At o'clock this evening, young man named Richard Rau was sitting in Haag's place, when one of the supposed gang, who afterwards gave the name of Thomas Farrell, stepped in the door, drew a revolver and shot Rau through the stomach fatally wounding him. Then he ran out to where a partner, who says his name is Dan Howard, was awaiting him and the two ran up the railroad tracks, followed by several citizens, who began firing at them. running fight was kept up for some distance without effect, when the two escaped among some box cars.
 Later they attempted'to cross the Mis- souri bridge into Kansas and were pur- sued by EX-Sheriff Carson and Officer Barry. The officers overlook them at the west end of the bridge and ordered the fugitives to halt. Howard was covered by Carson and surrendered, but Farrell drew two revolvers and opened fire, shooting Officer Barry through the arm. Then Farrell rushed down into the brush, followed by Barry and Officers Franz and Shea, who had by this time reached the scene of the battle. A run ming fight ensued, in which over forty shots were fired. Farrell was finally shot through the left breast at a point just above the heart and is in a dying condition. Farrell is supposed to come from St. Louis. When he ran out of Haag's place he yelled to his partner, "I have shot the wrong man." disclosing that it was the intention to kill Haagl for giving the plot away to the officers. |

FORMALLY CHARGED
With the Murder of Blanche Lamont Is Dur
 ant-An Obstinate Juror.


 San Francisco, May 1.-The coroner's inquest in the case of Blanche Lamont, one of the girls found murdered in Emanuel Baptist church. was conn menced this morning.
 Mrs. C.. J. Noble, aunt of the dead girl, was the first witness. She testified that on the night of the murder she attended prayer meeting at the church. Durant was there and asked her if Miss Lamont would be present. She told him no. Durant stated that he had met her niece on the car that morning and prom ised her copy of the Newcomer which she asked for. He called at the house Friday morning and left copy of the book. Durant had once accom- paniea Blanche to the park. In the early part of January Blanche had heard that Durant was engaged to another girl Durant denied it when spoken to about it.
 The rings sent Mrs. Noble by mail were shown to her, and she identified them as having been on Blanche's fingers on the day of her disappearance. Just be- fore Christmas, the witness said, Blanche told her that Durant had proposed to her and she thought that he did not mean it, as she had known him so short time,. As she thought he was joking she mumbled an affirmative reply only in jest. When she learned that he was engaged she told him she would not marry him.
 ling over the testimony for two hours the jury this afternoon brought in a verdict charging Durant with the murder of Miss Blanche Lamont. The delay was all brought about by one juror, who wanted to render verdict of murder caused by a party unknown, unless the police consented to furnish additional testimony

LIEUT.. PEARY sorrowfully states
that he will not make another trip
into the Arctic regions. Strong as
he is and with a will of iron, he
feels that another trial would mean
certain death to him. He has used
his reserve powers of both force and
resistance till they are no longer
to be depended upon. Peary has
battled superbly in the interest of
science, and his intrepid sorties
into the dull and dreadful regions
of everlasting mountains Of ice and
almost constant SHOW winds have
commanded the admiration of the
world. His last trip was practically
a failure, despite the most courage
Gus and determined effort. For
days he and his devoted companions
dragged themselves in the direction
of their goal; with their only food
scant rations from the store for the
weak and starving sledge dogs.
Lieut.. Peary, in defeat, has the
praise and sympathy of all who pay
tribute of acknowledgement to earn
estness and bravery.
