WHAT 1T MEANS.
There Was Really No Other Baking
Powder That Gould be Relied CDon

There Was Really No Other Baking
Powder That Could DE Relied Upon.
1t has been referred to as remark
able that the United States Govern
ment, in fitting out its expedition for
the relief Of the whalers Imprisoned
in the Arctic Seas, should have select
ed and included Royal Baking Powder
among its supplies. and no other.
This is not at all to be wondered at.
The superior quality of the Royal
made it's use upon this occasion indis-
pensable. The Royal is the only bak-
ing powder SO carefully and perfectly
made that it will keep fresh in all
climates, under variable degrees Of
temperature and moisture, during
long sea voyages. etc. 1t is the only
baking powder that will do its work
uniformly and perfectly at the Poles
and uader the E luator as well as in
the United States
The Royal is regularly and contin-
uOuSly selected for use at our army
posts, in the navieS of this country
aud Great Britain and upon the fleets
of merchant vessels that cover the
oceans, irrespective of the flag they
fly.
All this means that the Roy al is the
best baking powder for home use also
1t means that it has qualities peculiar
to itself which make It's usefulness be-
You'd that possible for any other bak-
Ing powder to attain

NOT BY ALDERMEN.

The SENTINEL is informed that the
license for the brokerage concern was
issued by Secretary and Treasurer
Wilson, upon the advice of CITY
Attorney Holton, and that the mat.
ter was not referred to the Board of
Aldermen, and hence our criticism of
yesterday did not apply, at least up
to this time, to the Board.
The question then arises as to
whether or not the two officers re-
ferred to are clothed with such abso.
lutte authority as to permit them to
become Court of final action and
to license for II term of three months
or more traffic that is forbidden by
the law of the State? IF they have
not such authority, the Board of
Aldermen should Immediately assem-
BILE and, by a vote that cannot be
mistaken, let it be known that Win

business that is prohibited by the
State of North Carolina.

A WRECK AT ASHEBORO.
Engineer and Fireman Badly Hurt =
DIR. Bahnson Summoned.


DR.. H. L. Bahnson drove through
the country to Asheboro Sunday to
see Engineer Brown and Fireman
Burns of the AsheborO and Aberdeen
railroad, who were badly hurt in a
wreck which occurred Saturday even
ing.
1t appears that the train stopped on
hill and cut loose the engine in or
der that it might go to the tank for
water. The brakes failed to hold the
cars. The engine backed to get the
cars and met them coming down the
hill at rapid rate. The signal lights
on the engine and cars went out.
Engineer Brown was pinned between
the tender and boiler, with his leg
against the boiler. Fireman Burns
was found in his regular position, fas-
tened down. He was released by
cutting the wood work away. One
leg is broken; the other injured. No
one else was hurt.
LATER-Dr. Bahnson returned from
Asheboro. Monday afternoon. He says
they amputated Engineer Browns
leg, above the knee, Sundaysnight. The
fireman begged the physicians not to
cut his leg off and it was not DONE
though DR.. Bahnson thinks it would
have been much better if it had been
amputated. 1t may have to be done
yet Both men, while badly hurt, are
getting along as well as could be ex-
Dected

rOns OF the Salem office, asked for my

Weisner, VINO was then asked:
How did it happen that you got
left with such strong backing? Have
you not always been a Republicans
Mckinley man, and friend of Sena

years OF age. Her hair two weeks ago
was auburn in color, but it is now as
white as snow. Mrs. Snyder lives be-

husband died about six months ago,
leaying her alone. She passed through
all the horrible scenes OF the mob
burning the Indians which occurred
two weeks ago. She said she would
live there until she could sell her land
but the Seminole scare was too much
for her.
On the night Of the reported upris.
ing liveryman drove past her house
and called to her to flee for her life.
She began to pack up all she could
carry, but before she got away two
masked men entered. Their revolvers
were aimed at her, and she thought of
the woman who had been killed by
the two Seminoles and fell to the floor
senseless. She recovered conscious
ness after while and sat down on the
edge Of the bed to await daylight,
when she found that her hair had
turned white.

Speaking of the old-time winters,
citizen, who is a close observer, re-
marked few days ago that there is
great difference in the winters we now
have and those of fifteen and twenty
years ago. In the winter of 1881 there
were several SHOWS on the ground at
once and the top was frozen hard
enough to bear up a mans weight.
Now snow rarely lays on the ground
more than half week and we are
fortunate il we can get moderate
ice harvest. What has wrought this
great change? We have not had
