Whenever a baking powder is sold
either Wholesale or retail at lower price
than the Royal, it is made from inferior
ingredients, probably from alum, and is
to be avoided under all circumstances.

The true test of baking powder is to
try it in making bread, cake, etc., aud we

practical test, that the Royal does make

A WOMAN CITY ATTORNEY.

The Woman Voters of Topeka May De-

The latest move of the suffragists,
though they don't want any thing said
about it, is to secure the city attorney two
years hence, not Mr.. Bird, but the
Office.
They are already ''setting up their pins
for it." as they themselves say, though
they. have not yet explained definitely
whether they are rolling pins or hair

women who will band together for the
purpose, regardless of party.
Women of both parties are in the
scheme and Populist women were the
first to think of it It is limited that the

soft hated western man, with whom
dined here yesterday, ST should say that,
as compared with New York, Chicago
or even Washington, Boston appears to
me like a toy city. Of the four towns
have mentioned, each of which certain
" represents distinct phase of Ameri-
can life, should say that Chicago gives
me the strongest impression of size, and
that regardless of the fact that Chicago
is, in fact, very big place. I do not
care a straw about the claims of New
York and Chicago concerning their pop

are more people clustered about the
mouth of the Hudson than anywhere
else on this continent, but all the same
Chicago always seems a much larger
city to my eyes than New York, and I
suppose that it is the broad and long
streets stretching away without Interrupt
ton or deviation for miles and furnish

tas that produces that impression. In
New York you see long streets running
north and south, but in many cases the
inequalities Of the surface Of the ground
break the view, and when you look east
or west in nearly every part of the
town the streets are seen to come to alb
rupt examinations at the banks of the
rivers.
CHOW, Of course, I know that Boston
is much larger than Washington, but
Washington has the long street reaches.
It's distances are indeed apparently mag
nifcent, and so the city appears much
larger to me than it really is. Boston
streets are narrow and crooked, and it
is the latter more than the former that
makes the town look like toy city. 1t

The United States government has
certainly been under the control of
friends of silver for seventeen years past
says the Kansas City Star. If it has,
then deliver US from the friends of silver
and turn US over to its enemies, for they
could not do worse. These friends have
excluded silver from the minis, have de-
clared that it is the policy of the gov
eminent to redeem it in gold. and have
almost driven it from circulation SO that
instead OF there being some hundreds of
millions of silver dollars in circulation
there are only about fifty millions and
these same friends insist that these are
only worth fifty cents each. The real
friends OF silver are those who desire the
value of a silver dollar to be maintained
on a level with the value of gold dollar
SO that both may be kept in circulation,
continues the Star. So they are. And
they know very we'll that the only way
to accomplish this end is open the minis
to the free and unlimited coinage of
both metals at a proper ratio and make
both a full legal tender in any amount
redeemable in the products of the coun-
try. They are not worried about the
COLDS leaving the country. They know
that if it goes something must be left
here for it and we can be none the
poorer. If it shall be considered more
valuable than silver we will but get the
more real wealth for something which is

POpenOe Party.
George T. Fairchild, president of the
Agricultural college and member of the
board of irrigation, is going to Europe
this summer. His wife's health is not
very good and he will go more on'thai
account than for any other reason. There
will be others in the party, however,
Mrs n. s. Kedzie of the Agricultural
college, Mr.. and Mrs. T. E Bowman and
Mr.. and Mrs. F. o. Popenoe, of Topeka
will accompany them They will leave
Montreal on the "Parisian" on June 22nd
and the Manhattan people at least will
be gone until the latter part of Septem-
Der.
They will visit England, Germany,
France and Italy. The state board OF
agriculture in session today applied to
Governor Morrill, to issue to Mr.. Fair
child a special commission to investigate
irrigation in Europe. This will open the
way for Mr.. Fairchild to much informa-
ton that he would not get as private
citizen.
However, the state will pay none of
Mr.. Fairchild's expen6es.

The day before the western man and
myself had visited the new statehouse,
or rather addition to the state capitol
This is handsome solid structure and
chusetts. In the eyes of some observers
it is doubtless too plain, but it seems to
me that much better taste has been
shown than if the new building had been
so planned as to its exterior appearance
and architectural expression as to be out
of harmony with the old statehouse. AS
it is, each is in perfect keeping with the
other, and in building the annex in this
fashion there has been no sacrifice of
substantial dignity. In some states the
old capitol would have been torn down
and a new and magnificent one of the
most ambitious architecture, foridly
covered with deliberately carved stone
decorations, would have been erected in
its stead, and thus a most valuable his
! torical monument would have been lost

he had pointed out to me what he said

situation and size, it was far more in
evidence than any of the surprisingly
beautiful carvings of the staircase. Il
would be absolutely impossible for any
one to ascend or descend this staircase
without seeing this remarkably promi-

there is a duplicate of this atrocious
