Reap JustifiabIe.

The present Grand Jury made thorough investigation into the case of the State of Arkansas vs. J. $. Reap, who some months ago killed D. o. G. Lampkins fn front of Will iams stables, on Fourth avenue, and no indictment was found against him for the act, as it was eonclusiyely shown by the witnesses who were before that honorable body that the killing was iustifable, and that no jury in the land would con vict Reap for his act.
 Reap was discharged by the Grand Jury, but Judge Elliott, at the re- quest of the Prosecuting Attorney, held him under a $3,00O bond, so that his case may be brought before the next Grand Jury, at which time the Prosecuting Attorney believes that he can prOduc>, testimony that will cause Reap to be indicted.
 A prominent member of the Grand Jury informed a GRAPHIC reporter this morning that over twenty wit nesses in this case were brought be- fore the Jury, and that all their evi- dence showed that Reap, in killing Lampkins, did only what any other man would have done, and that he could not possible be convicted for his act. He also stated that the Scott trial cost the taxpayers of Jefferson county S2,000, and the Jenkins trial $1 ,600, and that the case against Reap was nothing like as strong as that against either of these men, who were acquitted. The Jury did not believe it right to find Il true bill, when they knew that it would not be sustained after costing the county atleast 5000.

is our own fault, because we do not unite and cast a solid ballot one way. In these days of curtailing or deny ing pensions; defaming degrading and depreciating the men who saved your country, and relegating us to the rear everywhere to make room for draft-sneaks, towards and their sons, it is high time We meet with our sons and agree on a common platform and hurl our vote once in solid mass to subserve our own in- terests only in 1896. The interests of the men who saved the Union cannot antagonize its welfare. Let us demand our full share in all con- yentions and on all tickets, town ship, city, State, county, National. or destroy the party that shall deny it, no matter what the party is. Let us send out our ultimatum to the cursed demagogues and millionaires who have been riding rough-shod over us in the name of the flag they deserted in war. Let us teach our sons before We go home to meet the towards who left us to do the fighting while they remained at home coining our blood into money, and who for thirty years have been filling us with the East wind, We must unite. We must speake out. The loyal men of the North will vote with us. It is for this purpose that we shall assemble here in June, and let ever State be represented there by brave, true men.

DABzELL ISSUES AN ADDRESS
He Urges All Union Veterans to stand Shoulder to Shoulder and Vote
 as Man.

CALDWELL, O., April 10.-Accord- ing to present indications politics and sentiment vii be mixed at the Twenty-first Annual Soldiers Re
 uuion to be held during June next. Today there is issued over the sigma ture of the "National Committed Sames L. Dalzell, Chairman; William A Slenker, Secretary, an Address to the soldiers of the Union or their sons. The opening paragraphs are as follows:
 ''CoMRADEs--Inasmuch as the constitution and laws of the Grand Army of the Republic forbid any partisan political movement, men of all parties comprising that organi- zation, it becomes necessary once more for survivors of the Union Army to take the initiative in the great political campaign of 1896, so near at hand, and come together for deliberation and decision in their great annual council of the National Reunion this year to be held in June. The mon who saved the Government should be factor in it's administra- tion. It is high time for us to get together, formulate our principles and make OUT demands. According to the census of 189O-very imper- feet, as Mr. Porter confesses in the opening chapter so far as the enum= aration of soldiers is concerned there are yet surviving not less than \, 500,000 Union soldiers, sailors and marines. By the laws of increase, the 2, 2,0O0,000 men discharged at the close of the war, the most virile and prolific men of their generation, have doubled their numbers many years ago. and it is a conservative estimate to add to the l, 300, GOO votes we cast ourselves, the 2,000, GOO of our sons, who have reached their majority, making a grand az gregate of our political voting force now not less than 3,500, 900 vote out of total of IS, GOO, GOO that will be cast in 1896. Of course, most of our voters are in the North, as Ohio, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania and Indiana furnished 1,500, 900 out of q total of 2,800, 000 A, United they and their sons can die tate the choice of conventions and elections. It is only when they split up and scatter and kill each others votes by casting them for various parties that their vote is cancelled and counts nothing in the audit. It is to our interest to all vote one way, and one ticket, then we are the controlling force in poli- tics, and our vote means something and subserges the great object of all elective power-our mutual protec- tion and advancement. It is the great study of the cowardly stay-at- homes and sneaks to divide and de- stroy the soldier vote by it's suicide, setting one of us over against the other. They studiously keep us out of their cliques and rings and out of their conventions, too. They all pretend to love us, and yet they all despise us because we are all poor. We are not in it little bit, and it

BLUFF, WEDNESDAY EVENING, 1o 1885,
ALLIS A PRISONER.
The Supreme Court Amrms the Decision of
 the Lower Court.

Horace G. Allis, President of the defunct First National Bank. of Little Rock, Is now in custody of United States Marshal Gaines, pending his deportation to the Kings County prison at Brooklyn, N. Y, there to serve q sentence of five years pur- suant to his conviction in December, 1894. The mandate of the United States Supreme Court was received by Clerk Goodrich, of the United States Court, yesterday, spread upon the minutes and a certified copy de- liyered into the hands of Marshal Gaines, whereupon the latter official proceeded to take Allis in charge. It is.not likely that Allis will be sent to Brooklyn for week yet. Mean while, he will remain in custody. Mir. Allis has been available ever since the United States Supreme Court rem dered it's decision last October, since which time he has been under $20,- 900 bond. Tie Marshal had no diff culty yesterday In finding him. What steps, if any, will be taken in behalf arenOt yet known.

PURE FOOD EXPOSITION, COLUMBUS, o. Nov, r. 1894.

Physicians have discovered a serious danger to the public health ill q new form of baking powder large quantities of which have been put upon the market under different names. Alum baking powders have been so unanimously condemned as unhealthful that careful lhousekeepers will no longer buy them knowingly. The bitter taste which they leave in the food becoming recognized by con sumers, the deception practiced in selling them for pure cream of tartar powders could be no longer main tained. To overcome this bitter taste the manufactures are now using a mixture af alum and phosphate acid. Chemical tests, however show that the phospate and alum of the baking powder are, by the heat of baking, partially resolved into phosphate of alumina, salt declared by chemists to be poisonous and which, being readily souble in the gastric juices, is dangerous to be taken into the stomach
