The Alum Heart.

Many people are suffering from
some form Of heart disease who have
no idea Of the cause Of it.
Any disturbance of the digestive
organs affects the hearts action, and
therefore every food which interferes
with digestion is responsible where
| there are troubles Of this character.
1t has been discovered that the use
OF baking powder made from burnt
alum cOagulates the blood very
rapidly, which interferes with its free
flow through the arteries and valves
of that organ. Formerly alum was
used as specific for children's Group,
but owing to its tendency from the
causes named to produce heart failure,
physicians no longer employ it.
In face Of such facts and in view of
the overwhelming testimony of scien-
lists as to the poisonous character of
this drug when used for food purposes,
can there be any excuse for the ignor-
ance or uncOncern which permits any
one to take from the grocer package
of alum baking powder, simply for
the sake of saving a few cents in
priceP
1t is a healthful sign that many
states are limiting by law the sale of
the alum baking powder. Very soon
it will be prohibited in all states, or
treated as a poison, as it should be.
But for such laws, how are the alum
powders to be known by consumers?
Where alum powders are not brand
ed as such, nor their sale prohibited
by law, it is better to avoid the use
of any new or doubtful brand until it
has been analyzed. The purity of all
powders may be suspected if they are
sold at price lower than the price Of
the best standard brands We know
the Royal to be a first-class cream
OF tartar powder, and if consumers
insist upon having that brand, they
Will be sure Of pure, healthful
article. In view of a recently report
ed case of fpoisoning of whole family
living near LOganspOrt, Indiana, from
the use OF alum powder, it behooves
every one to use extraordinary care
IN purchasing their supplies. We do
not hesitate to recommend the ROyal
TO all who are in doubt as to the DOW
der they have been using, as the
United States government tests placed
that brand at the head of the tartar
powders.

Highway Robbery.

While on his way home from the
Northwestern depot about $50 o'clock
last Wednesday night, George Haw-
kins was held up by two men at the
corner of Clyman and Ninth streets,
one block from his home At the
point of a revolver Mr.. Hawkins was
ordered to hold up his hands, after
which the robbers hit him in the
head with the but end of the revolver
several times, knocking him down
and stunning him. They then went
through his clothes, taking his gold
watch, about $40 in money, a bunch
OF keys, several papers and a memo
randum book. The papers were re-
covered near the spot the next morn
ing. After getting through with
their victim the highwaymen ran to-
ward the st. Paul railway tracks, and
Mr.. Hawkins hurried to the nearest
telephone to summon the police. A
search Wasmade for the criminals, but
without success. The police seem
satisfied the work was that of home
talent, bit Mr.. Hawkins is inclined to
the belief that his assailants were
tramps. The robbery, occurring as it
did on one of our principal residence
streets at so early an hour, was a
pretty bold piece Of work, and the
culprits, if caught, should be sum-
marily dealt with. Mr.. Hawkins
had been at Juneau that day, and the
theory is advanced that the parties
who attacked him knew of his where
abouts and supposed he was returning
with a large sum of money.

Farmers Institutes for I8oS-oo.

Farmers or public spirited business
men who wish to secure an institute
for their locality during the winter
season of 1898 -99 should send to nv
Office for blank petition and letter
of information. Any town, no matter
how small or how far from the rail
road, is entitled to an institute, pro-
vided it is located in a farming dis
trict, and has good hall in which
meeting can be held.
The Institutes of 1878 were well
attended and more interest was man
Tested than ever before. A number
of towns also held a mid-winter fair
in connection with the institute.
From the correspondence and large
number of petitions now reaching this
Office we believe the season of 1889
will exceed the past one.

Guilty of Murder .

Ernest Cornell, who killed his two
children at Oconomowoc, November
10 last, was convicted of murder in the
Waukesha county circuit court Friday.
Commenting on the case, Waukesha
correspondent OF The Sentinel says
"Since the jury decided with so much
promptness that Cornell was not in
sane when the butchery was done, il
was almost foregone conclusion that
he would be sent to Waupun. The
case has not awakened enough interest
to draw a crowd to the courthouse, al
any session, and much complaint i:
heard that trial in the case was neces-
sary, after Cornell had made con
fession prior to the trial. The costs
in the case are several thousand
dollars y

ing completion, and it is claimed by

Indians will be brought direct from
the reservations to take part in the
celebration, from June 27 to July 3.
They will play games of all kinds,
build birch bark canoes, carry on
their wonderful bead work, and live
at their Indian village as near like
their native life as possible. There
will be a war dance during the week.

Spain Shows Alarm.
Madrid, March 11-Political and
financial circles here now fully realize
that Spain is facing grave problem.
In view OF the attitude of the United
States, it is understood the Spanish gov
eminent has completely changed it's
policy toward Cuba, and is now counting
the cooperation of the Cuban constitu-
tional party, urging the maintenance
of the volunteers, and the pushing of
the campaign against the insurgents,
thus giving the military policy pre-
dominance over diplomacy. This
change is due to the fear that if the rad
ical autonomists insisted upon the dis
armament of the volunteers or melted
the constitutionalists to disa Election a
conflict would supervene, ''affording the
United States an opportunity for an
armed intervention"
