GENERAL GARCIA, who died on Sun
day in Washington, probably did more
TO secure the liberation of the Cdbans
than any of their leaders. He was the
life and soul of the movement FOR thirty
years, always fighting when it was pos
sibie to fight, and dreaming Of nothing
bat Cuban independence when in pris-
on or under the surveillance of the
Spanish authorities. His career during
those years reads like a romance Of me
dieval times.

Exposing a Trick.
the Editor I'D the HERALp.

To the Editor Of the HERALD.
Sir:-A correspondent writes sus that
the representatives of the Calumet Bak-
ing powder of Chicago. whose tricks in
pretending TO test baking powders have
so often been exposed, are or have been
pursuing the same methods in this vi
cinity.
As cream of tartar powders are the only
baking powders that are wholesome and
proper for use in raising food, it is well to
inquire what the Calumet Is made Of 1t
is described by the State chemist of In
diana as follows:
I have carefully tested the Calumet
Baking powder, and found il 10 contain
alum. In the eorrse of the work it WAS
developed that the powder contained
phOsphates, potash, alum, and lime.
"H. A Huston,
State Chemist, Indiana"
The intelligent housewives of this com
munity viii hardly care TO go for instruc-
ton upon the subject of pure food to an
alum baking powder peddler. They will
have more respect for the opinion Of such
an eminent hygienist and teacher as Prof
Barker, Of the Pennsylvania University,
who says: II regard the use of alum bak-
ing powders a. highly injurious to the
health of the community, and believe
that their sale should be forbidden by
law
The doctors inform Us that alum is
poison. and that alum baking powders
should be avoided because they make the
food unwholesome. In some States alum
powders are not permitted to be sold un-
less they are branded to inform people
their true character, while in England
the use of alum in bread is forbidden by
law.
Unfortunately, the alum baking pow
ders are sometimes sold by grOcers who
do not make known their true character
TO the customer. 1t is stated by the
American Grocer that such powders are
never sold for what they are. that they
always travel under false covers; so shat,
it may be, the grocer himself is deceived
by the fraudulent claim ofthe manufaetur
er that his product is pure cream of tar
tar powder. But the grocer who permits
himself to aid the manufacturer in the
distribution Of an impure and unwhole-
some OF fraudulent article discredits the
genuineness Of all the goods he sells.
The hOusekeeper makes no mistake
who relies upon the Royal Baking Pow

ing powder, made Of grape cream Of tar

WITH THE VETERANS
Over a Quarter of the Vote for the
Union Ticket

SOLDIERS HOME, Nov. 1.-THE num-
ber of votes polled at the home at the cleo
ton of the Sth instant was o55. At the pre-
vious election 1l07 votes were polled. The
union voters, while acknowledging their
overwhelming defeat in the county, are not
SO much discouraged at the showing they
made at the home. The majority of the
veterans are naturally stalwart Republicans,
as was proved by the ballots cast which were
nearly all unscratched. Nevertheless there
were cast for Barlow 24S votes, ior Hanley
2l7 and for Cooper 2l5.
Samuel Sours, late of Company X, One
Hundred and Thirty-seventh 1llionis infan-
try, has been appointed home captain of
Company c, succeeding w. Is. Clothier, who
was relieved at his own request as he has

thier was with one exception the ranking
captain of the home, having held the posi-

majority over Eugene Ives, and for the as
sembly John Doan, Republican, has de-
feated milford Winsor.
The Democratic candidate for sheriff,
Mel Greenleaf, the incumbent, might have
won out, but the Saturday before election
the Republicans accused him of malfeasance
in office, and alleged misappropriation Of
| county funds. This is strongly denied by
Mr.. Greenleaf, but as he was in the country
electioneering, and did not get back tc
Yuma in time to counteract the story. II
is alleged by some of the Democrats that
the chairman Of the board of supervisors
and an enemy of Greenleafs, took occasion
to make the charge to get even for the ef-
forts of Greenleaf to defeat him for the
nomination for the council. Should the
allegation prove untrue, Mr.. Modest, the
| alleged accuser, may have lively libel suit
on his hands. Mr.. Greenleaf's friends
claim that the time for his quarterly settle
ment with the board of supervisors and
treasurer had not arrived, and will not till
the end of the month.

WILSON IS ELECTED
MARICOPA COUNTY ELECTS THE
REPUBLICAN TICKET
CAPT. M'CLINT0CK DEFEATED

Elects Democrats and Republic
cans Equally

PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. 9.-Election day
passed off without any lawlessness or other
excitement than would naturally attend a
combination of election and the advent OF
a circus to town on the same day. While
the Australian ballot system has made the
counting of votes difficult and the returns
thereon throughout the territory rather slow
in coming in, still all indications and re-
turns received so far point to the election
of Colonel j. +. Wilson (Democrat) of Pres
colt as delegate to congress, with majority
of about 800. The territory decided that
Brodie, who had voted at the last election
for Populist, because he was such strong
free silver man, was not fitted to be elected
on a gold PLATFORM to congress two years
after, even if he was Rough Rider.
As to the county ticket of this (Maricopa)
county, most of the Republican candidates
were elected. Most of the county returns
are in, and missing precincts will not alter
the result.

very rapidly Of late and doing considerable
good work in the line of personal purity. AT
every lodge meeting some pleasant entertain
ment is provided in the way of essays, poems,
songs, dramas, etc. A premium is placed
upon the best original production. The lodge
expects to give an oyster supper in the near
future. E. A. Ross has just been elected
chief tempar. Thirty members have been
added this month.
The orange crop this year will be very
large, and, as the trees are larger, the yield
per tree will be more than ever before.
Visitors to the valley are enthusiastic over
the beautiful groves in the foothills near
town. General picking will begin soon, as
oranges have matured earlier this year than
last, and our fruit will be in the eastern
market before the California orange has
ripened.
M. w. Ward, one of our large orange
growers, has just completed a new pack
ing house at his orchard and will ship a
large output.
On Thanksgiving evening grand military
bali will be given by Company A, National
guards. 1t will be a swell social affair.
A story is told of man in town who
wanted to borrow $5 of an acquaintance. His
friend said he would give him $5 to vote for
friend of his for some county office. The
borrower, from conscientious motives proba
bly,, handed back the So bill saying, "That's
too much; give $3.50. l don't want to rob
you" The man had at least the virtue of
modesty.
Phoenix is going to have lots of ice the
coming summer and at cheap rates. Both
the factories of p. Minor and S. ID. Lount
are arranging to nearly double their capacity,
and lively rate war on ice can be looked for

additions to both establishments.
