Dunn, agent for Rich & Harris Courted Into Court Company, to arrive in San Francisco with twenty five avaunt couriers as his assistants Dunn conceived this scheme quite a num- Der of weeks ago, formulated it in Den yer, perfected it in Salt Lake and carried it out on the Oakland ferry upon his ar rival, much to the astonishment of the passengers on the Newark, which han pened to be the vessel which carried him over.
 The boat had hardly left its Oakland slip when MT. Dunn quietly opened his travelling case and, extracting twenty five silk pennants with the name of his attraction thereon, printed in vermilion hue, proceeded to tie them to twenty five crusts of bread which he had pre- pared, and, making his way to the stern of the steamer, quietly tossed one in the air in the midst of a bunch of seagulls There was a whirl and a dive as the bird nailed the bread, and away went agent No. l, with a silk pennant hanging from his beak. The other twenty-four were disposed of in rapid succession, and the novel sight of twenty-five of these birds circlng in midair with silk banners at tached to their bills is said to have been a sight certainly never before witnessed by overland passengers, one of whom was heard to remark, Advance agents are certainly birds!'

CALL A SPADE A SPADE. !"
Some People too Modest Conde in their Physician Woman
Cured of Serious Disease by Certain Method the Only
Drawback of which was, it Made Her Too Fat
From the Evening NeUs, Detroit, Mich.

The doctor came in haste and found his
patient again in great agony from splitting
headache. 1t was his fifth call on the same
patient, and each time to treat the same
trouble With suspicion that his diagno-
sis was incorrect and that he was treating a
symptom and not the disease, he said to her
MADAM, it is useless for me to visit you
again. You are keeping from me facts and
symptoms which it is necessary | should
know. The patient finally acknowledged
that, through a false modesty, she had not
told him all. Then she told how she had
suffered from female weakness but had kept
it from him-too modest to speak. The old
doctor was disgusted at such prudishness,
but when he knew the facts, cured her easily
and quickly.
The following case differs from the above,
only in the fact that the patient is not afraid
to speak, and to 'call a spade spade"
words fail to describe the suffering I
endured before I used DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People" said Mrs. Alexander
B. Clark, of All Michigan Avenue, Detroit,
Mich. "For five years | have suffered
from ovarian troubles, and was confined to
my room for months at time. | have
undergone two operations for this trouble at
the hospital, and seemed to grow worse
instead of better. had the best doctors and
the best nursing, but for nearly five years I
was not free for one single day from the
most fearful headaches and intense twitch-
ing pains in my neck and shoulders.
You would scarcely believe, to look at
me now, that for about three days every
week for nearly six years, had to stay in
bed. Those headaches would come on me
every week regularly. First I would notice
black spots before my eyes, and then
would go blind, and send for the doctor.
=" AT first they would treat me for indiges-
tion and dyspepsia, then finally acknowl-
edge that something else caused the trouble.

business Outlook as Reported by
Schwartz, Dupee & Co.

CHICAGO. Ill, Jan. IL.
There is nothing IN the wheat situa-
ton SO far can be judged by domestic
and foreign advices received by
Schwartz, Dupee & Co. to make farmers
feel any loss of confidence in that
cereal at present prices.
1t is true that there are fluctuations
of few cents in the price of options,
but this is inseparable from a specula-
tive product. Cash wheat, however,
which is the real basis of values for
farmers does not depreciate in value,
nor does the demand decrease. On
the contrary there is a strong under
tone to this market.
Much the same condition exists in
corn, and those who believe in higher
prices for that cereal point to the fact
that there exists large short interest,
and should an effort be made to cover
such contracts in any large quantity an
upturn of considerable importance
could not be avoided For this reason
and the further one that many believe
the government estimate of the crop to
be too large many shrewd traders are
careful to keep off the short side of the
market.
Provisions are in much be tier posi-
ton than week ago and during the in
tervening time have enjoyed substan-
tial advance. Receipts Of hogs are still
liberal, but the cash demand is also
good.

THE NEW BAKING POWDER LAW.
Protects Wisconsin Housekeepers

In view Of the new baking powder

some cream of tartar baking powder,
the following extracts from the reports
of the present or late State Analysts Of
Wisconsin and every neighboring State
are very helpful to those who wish to
be certain as to what baking powder to

These reports show that the we'll
known and popular Royal is not only a
pure cream of tartar powder but super
ior to all others in leavening strength,
and therefore to be preferred for every
use. To receive such an official recog-
milton, the merits of the Royal must
indeed be eminent:

is superior in purity, leavening power
and keeping qualities. 1t is cream OF
tartar powder, entirely free from alum

satisfactory. FLOYD DAVIS,

Royal Baking Powder is of very su-
