Honest VS.. Dishonest Advertising.

A pleasant feature Of the advertise
ing put forth by the Royal Baking
Powder Company, frequently COM
mented upon by consumers, is the
absolute confidence that may be had
IL the truthfulness Of all its claims
and statements. There is evidently
the same care and accuracy in the
framing Of the Royal advertisements
that there is in the compromising of
the Royal powder,
1t appears, unfortunately, that not
all baking powder people are so
scrupulously careful. The recent
letter from the Judge of Awards on
Baking Powders at the Chicago
Worlds Fair, exposing the falsity Of
the claim Of another house that its
baking powder had received the high
est award for strength, purity, excell-
ence, etc., is a scathing rebuke to
those manufacturers Of inferior bak-
ing powders who have no regard for
the truth, but habitually seek, in
their public announcements, to de-
ceive consumers: The Judge Of
Awards states that no such award
was given to the concern in question,
and has notified it that it must cease
publishing his name in connection
with its false statements.

Pixies Peak.


7. B. Wilson, formerly Of this city
now Of Colorado, is at the bottom Of a
project to publish newspaper the
coming summer on the summit Of old
Pixies Peak. The paper will be 4

tions and descriptions Of noted places
around the Peak, including Colorado
Springs and Manitou. The paper will
be printed twice day and the names
OF all cog road passengers will be tel
ephoned up in advance, to appear in
the paper by the time the cog tain
reaches the summit-and each tourist
can invest in several copies of "the
paper above the Clouds" with his
name in it, to astonish his friends
back at home. The name Of the paper
will be the "Pike's Peak News" and
already many advertising contracts
have been drawn up. The daily cir
culation will be 1900 copies, which
will be sent to every leading hotel in

one but those acquainted with Tom

a Union Meeting.

One of the most profitable Of the
Easter services Of the city was that
Sunday evening in the Presbyterian
church when the young peoples
societies Of the Presbyterian, Luther
an, Baptist, Methodist and Reformed
churches united in an Easter devo-
tional service. H. D. FochS was the
leader and the topic was "Resurrec-
ton Power" In addition to songs
and devotional exercises each society
was represented by short talk on a
division Of the general topic as fol-
lows.
Miss Amy Hump, Reformed church,
"That I May Know the Power Of the
Resurrection"

Know the Power Of His Resurrec-
tion."

OF the Resurrection in Missionary
Work"
G. E. Rugh, Lutheran, 1.-The Power
of the Resurrection in the Secular
World"
R. M. White, Presbyterian, "ln-
fuence of the Resurrection Among
the Young People,"

union gathering will be held each
Easter and it will doubtless become a
prominent feature Of the day.

last week seven carloads Of eggs.
This meant 1000 dozen, or 1908, 900

a chorus of so voices and rendered

Seldom has there been anything in
the city more attractive.
The guests went home on the early
morning trains, all loud in their
praise Of Abilene hospitality. The
leaders of the affair were Messrs.
Albert Lenze, Theo. Hasshagen, M.
Witt, A. Hees and Chas. Benignus,

forced by the ironclad Spetzia, is plan
ming IN important movement This is
probably directed against Salonica' IT
this is made with dispatch, it Is quite
possible that the Greek ships could
reach the gulf and shell the town of
Salonica before the Egcan squadron OF
the Turkish fleet could intervene. The
object of such bombardment would
be to cut off the Macedonian line of
supplies to Edhem Pasha's camp at
Elassona. Should the Greek troops
advance from Damasi to Eassona, the
line of Turkish supplies could be cut
OF that point and render the naval
movement unnecessary. And 1t is pos
sible that the brilliant success at
Damasi will cause a modification In
the sea programme Of the Greeks.
Taking a general survey of the field
the fortunes of war thus far are pretty
evenly divided, but the chances for the
immediate future are decidedly In
favor of the Greeks.

caused a delay Of from three to four
hours to all through trains on the Chi

The delays were caused by the water

washed and weakened, while debris,
mud, ETC., were hurled over the track
for distance OF several miles.

Some German Adventures Who Have Been

inception. The gang consists OF four
Young men of decidedly eff .mina.e
appearance, possessing GOOD looks 70
boot. Always dressed 10 female o'-
cycle attire, their appearance was so
deceptive that even the police were
fouled until their prisoners had been
ont in the sweat box and searching

The modus operandi OF the gang
which had quarters in three dinerent
parts of London, was to advertise itself
az tirm OF lady tailors and to sand
through the mails samples OF CLOTH for
manufacture If suits at rldiculously
low prices, their circulars also setting
forth that upon request member oi
the firm would wait upon the would be-
customer at their residence. Whsre
the bait took and one or the other OF
the gang was admitted to tete a tete
with the would-be customer for the
purpose Of taking mea urements, no
studied his victlm's characterlstics,
and where he found one weak or easl'
lv frightened at the possibilities OF De-
ing D aced ia a compromising position,
he revealed his sex and oemardtc
black mail under penalty of compron
ising their character.
| 1 is said that the gang has beer
successfully carrying on these opera
lions for several monihs. Finally, on'
OF their victims made an anonymou'
com munication to Scotland Yard which
resulted in descsnt upon and capture
Of the gang. They have been commit
