In the state senate to-day, says q
Pierre dispatch of the 18th, the resolu-
ton for an investigation for bribery
charges was killed and an equal suffrage
amendment carried by vote of 81 to 9.
Among the principal bills introduced
were thoss providing for state super
intendent OF printing; to prohibit the
demonstration Of silver by contract; to
assess railroads the same az other pro-
perty and prohibiting alien ownership
of lands. In the house the committee
on state affairs recommended com mis-
sion to go over the records in the Taylor
case and to reappraise the property TAX
en-. The equal suffrage question was
called up on reconsideration and again
lost for lack of constitutional majority,
only receiving forty favorable votes.
Another Populist caucus was attempt
ed tonight without any settlement.
Twelve ballots were taken with the
highest vote for Goodvkoontz at 20 and
lowest for Kyle Is. Votes were thrown
to Loucks from the Kyle forces in an
attempt to draw him bach. into the race,
and the Plowman vote went as low as ?.
The next caucus was set for Thursday
night after row for harmony.
Throughout Sunday the Goody ykoontz
men professed confidence that their
candidate would show great gains to-
day and would be elected some time
this week. The ballot however showed
no material change. Loucks says there
will be none before next week. o. Ope-
dale, editor Of the great Scandinavian
newspaper of Chicago, has come here on

matter. He has advised the governor

There are some complaints by the
doubling Thomases that the election of
Mckinley has not transported us back at
once to such prosperity as we had in
1891 and 1892, under the Mckinley law.
That is about as reasonable as to expect
roses to bloom out of doors in December
because June Is coming. Because we
know June is coming, we may order rose
trees, but VIC dou't expect the roses to
bloom until the December snow is gone.
While the Wilson German bill is the
law of the land we cannot expect any
great measure Of prosperity. The most
that we can hope for is that we may be
spared from further disaster. Mer
chants have the same inducements to
buy abroad that they have had from the
beginning of the law. II is true that
many mills which were closed have
started up, and that many others which
would have shut down in case Of Nc
Kiniey's defeat have continued. so
much substantial good has come from
the mere prospect of protection in the
near future. But these mills have gone
on with work in expectation Of future
orders, when protection to American
industries will once more be establish
ed, rather than to meet present de-
mands. Confidence has been retored.

assurance Of the re-establishmsnt of the

Perfection IN Calculating.

Housekeepers frequently wonder why
" Is that they cannot make biscuit and
cake that are light and palatable and
that taste as delicious as the biscuit and
cake made by their mothers and grand
mothers, the delightful memory OF which
even to this day creates sensation of
pleasure to the palate. The trouble
arises from the highly adulterated state
OF the materials they have to work with,
particularly the cream Of tartar soda
used to raise or leaven the food. Cream
OF tartar and soda that are now procur-
able for domestic purposes contain large
quantities of lime, earth. alum and other
adulterants, frequently from FIVE to
twenty-five per cent, and consequently
vary so much in strength that no person
can tell the axact quantity to use, or
properly combine them, to insure per-
feet results. From using too much or
TOO little, or because Of the aduIieranls
in them. bitter. salt, yellow, OF heavy
biscuits or cakes are frequently made.
These adulterants are also injurious to
health.
All this trouble may be avoided 10y
the use Of the popular Royal Baking
Powder. Where this preparation is
employed in the place Of cream Of tartar
and soda. its perfect leavening power
always insures light, faky, digsstible
biscuit, cakes and pastry, that are per-
fecily wholesome and free from the
impurities Invariably present when the
old raising preparations are employed.
The Royal Baking Powder, we are in
formed by the most reliable scientists,
is perfectly pure, being made from high
ly refined ingredients, carefully tested.
and so exactly proportional and com.
bined that it never fails to produce the
best and uniform results. An additional
advantage in it's employment comes
from the fact that bread or other food
made with it may be eaten while hot
without fear of indigestion or any un-
pleasant results, while being equally
sweet, moist, and grateful to the palate
when cold.

A Rush Anticipated.

The Deadwood Pioneer anticipates an
influx Of people to that place in the
early spring exceeding in its magnitude
all past records, for which it strongly re-
commends that ample preparations be
made. 1t says:
"A question that should concern the
people of Deadwood vitally at the pres
ent, and one that must be met at no
distant time, is, how are we going to ac-
comodate the vast army cf transients
that is headed in this direction from all
parts Of the land? Our hotel and lodg
ing house facilities are already oyertax-
ed it has long been impossible to rent
dwelling house in the city, and new
houses are engaged as soon as contem.
plated private rooms, furnished or un-
furnished. are out of the question, and
us soon as there is prospect of one be-
ing vacated there are dozen applicants
for it every private family in the city
that can and will put up with roomers
has all it can provide for. and yet guests
are almost daily compelled to seek lodg-
ing in Lead City. If the present signs
are borne ont the influx will amount to
gorge Of humanity when spring opens
and Deadwood is going to be short on
the benefit unless some building is be-
gun without long order. The demand
for rentable houses is going to be clam
orous, and it will be profitable invest
ment for the owners of vacant building
space to begin the erection Of houses
that will answer the purpose. To ia-
more this behest will result in the up
building Of surrounding towns, where
ground is cheap and building sufficient
for temporary shelter convenient, to the
detriment of Deadwood. We do not
need any more restaurants and eating
houses, as We are already long in that
respect, but we must have more dwell
lings and buildings where comfortable
and convenient rooms may be obtained.
Every yard of building ground in our
residence portions should be utilized
tenantable fats should be put up, and
the capital expended will not only
create a good income, but will help
Deadwood's every interest"

The trainers of the new tariff bill
should not lose sight Of the fact that the
republican platform promises full, and
not moderate protection to American
Industries. The best interests of the
people and the republican party alike
demand that this bill should be in har.
mony, and not in open violation with
the promise made by the party through
its national platform. No influence,
however powerful, should be permitted
to wheedle the trainers of the bill into a
violation of the party's pledges. 1t was
full protection that was promised, it was
for that the people voted, and for
nothing short of that will the people be
satisfied.

The Deadwood Daily Journal is the
name of the new paper to be launched
by Dan Scott and son, Mark, at the

give full associated press dispatches,
and put on all the metropolitan airs that
we'll supplied exchequer renders pos
sible. While it's efforts to establish the
validity of the rapidly decaying theory
