Undisputed Merit.

The great success of the Royal
Baking Powder is due to the extreme
care exercised by its manufacturers
to make it entirely pure, uniform in
quality, and of the highest leavening
power. All the scientific knowledge,
care and skill, attained by twenty
years practical experience are contri-
buted toward this end, and no phar-
maceutical preparation can be dis
pensed with greater accuracy, pre-
cison and exactness. Every article
used is absolutely pure. A number
of chemists are employed to test the
strength of each ingredient, so that its
exact power and effect in combina-
tion with its co-ingredients are definite
ly known. Nothing is trusted to
chance, and no person is employed in
the preparation of the materials used
orthe manufacture of the powder, who
IS not an expert in his particular
branch of the business. AS consequ-
ence, the Royal Baking Powder is of
the highest grade of excellence, always
pure, wholesome and uniform in
quality. The contents of each box
are exactly like every other, and will
retain their powers and produce the
same and the highest leavening effect
IN any climate, at any time. The
Government Chemists, after having
analyzed all the principal brands in
the market, in their reports placed the
Royal Baking Powder at the head of
the list for strength, purity and whole
someness and thousands of tests all
over the country have further de-
monstrated the fact that its qualities
are, in every respect, unrivalled.

A BAD CYCLONE
The Kansas Storm One of the
Most Severe in the States
History.
It Struck No Towns, bat Passed
Through Settled Farming
Country.
Eleven Persons known to Have
Been Killed and Many 9th.
ers Injured.

CoNCoRD1A, Kan, April 2S.-The
cyclone which swept through this Sec
ton of the state was probably one of
the most severe that Kansas has ever
experienced. Its path was about 400
feet wide and extended fully 20 miles.
1t formed near the little town Of st.
Joseph, in the eastern part Of Clay
county, and passed in q n~ortheasterly
direction through the northern part Of
Clay, and probably into the northern
edge of Washington county. Fortu-
nately it struck no towns, but its course
was through a thickly settled portion
Of the Republican valley. The cyclone
was funnel-shaped and its power
were lifted into the air and dashed
back at the earth. Trees were uprooted
or broken off, and everything in its
track was destroyed.
Some of Those Who Were Killed.
The first victims Of the storm were
Eli Belthazar and wife, living about a
mile east Of st. Joseph. The family
was just preparing to seek refuge in
the cellar when the storm struck. The
six children were all more or less Sc
riously injured, and it is thought two
Of them will die. About q mile fur.
Their east the home Of Julian Trembly
was destroyed and he was killed. The
greatest damage was done south of
Clifton. Two farmers, E. B. Peterson
and J. S. Haynes were killed, and a
number of others, whose names could
not be learned. At me place a woman
and child were killed and at another q
5-year-old boy. The body of the latter
has not yet been found.
Several people are reported to be seri-
ously injured south of Palmer. some Of
them fatally. The number Of dead, as
far as reported is II. but the list will
doubtless be increased by another "a
hours. Over rs persons are said to
have sustained serious injuries. Over
20 families are rendered homeless by
the storm. The suffering Of those in.
jured was rendered great by the severe
hail and rain that closely followed the
cyclone.
A large number of horses and cattle
were killed and fruit in the storms
track was ruined. 1t is impossible at
this time to estimate the damage to
buildings and other property.

ton in Illinois a. there is over the one
to be held here next Wednesday.
Every hotel in Springfield is crowded
full, and late corners will have to de.
pend on private families for beds.
The chief interest seems to center On
the presidential question. A move
ment is on foot among the friends Of
William Mckinley, to have the con-
vention adopt resolutions ~instructing
the delegates at large to vote for Nc
Kinley as soon as the convention is
called to order. Senator Cullom's
friends are, Of course, bitterly opposed
to this, as are also those ~favoring Reed
and Allison. What the outcome will
be no man, not even the leaders them
selves, can predict. As to the state
ticket, no one will venture to assure
the nomination of any Of the candi-
dates, save as to John r. Tanner, who
has more than enough delegates in.
structed for him to nominate him for
governor.

WATERLOO, Ia, April 2S.-The gold

Boies' home county, They outnum-

widest scenes. In the outset the
Cleveland men captured the conven-

perfected, Chairman Scott, Of the cen.

down. The disturbance continued for
more than an hour. Each convention
adopted resolutions on the money ques-
ton, the difference being as great Is

 Quite heavy wind accompanied the big rain last Wednesday night and completely wrecked the large addition to the warehouse being erected by Hudgins Bros. on their lots down by the switch yards. It was . frame building 75x135 feet, three stories high, and was almost completed. It was not properly braced to stand the severe wind and went down in mass of broken timbers, completely block ading Fleming street. It was being erected under contract, but as the contractor is unable to bear the loss it will fall on Hudgins Bros. who will begin clearing away the wreckage preparatory to beginning the work of erection again.
