THE PEACE PROBLEM.
The Future of the Philippines Still
Debatable.
Special Dispatch to the Call

DptCldl llspuVOh W OhO O"ii'
PARIS, Nov. 9.-To.day's session OF
the Peace Commission began at
2:30 p. m. and ended at 3 p. m.
When the meeting opened the
Americans presented to their Span
ish colleagues the answer of the
United States to the claims submit
ted on Saturday last on behalf of
Spain. The document in which the
American answer was set forth con-
sisted OF nearly fifty sheets Of type
written matter. 1t was a refutation
OF the Spanish allegation that be-
cause the words possession" "owner-
ship" or "cessiou" do not occur in
the protocol clause touching upon
the Philippine Islands the Peace
Commissioners have no right to dis
cuss them here, and that even il
they did so it must be in the light
of the alleged fact OF an exterior
agreement that SPANS sovereignty
should not be impaired.
The Americans also answered
SPANS claim for the restitution to
her of public money and customs Of
collections taken by United States
officials since the capitulatiou of
Manila, and made reply to Spain's
claim for an indemnity on account
of Imprisonment by United States
authorities OF Spanish troops at
Manila aud for their subsequent re-
straint from being of service to
Spain in the suppression of insur-
rection and the preservation of
property.
The American Commissioners in
their reply held that there was JUS
tftation under the terms OF the
protocol, for the discussion of the
future Of the Philippine Islands,
and they also claimed that the oc-
cupation OF Manila is military oc-
cupation, which justiies the United
States in collecting the revenues,
administering the government and
exercising all the functions OF pos
session.

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't the blood very rapidly
which interferes with it's free flow
through the arteries and valves of
that organ. Formerly alum was used
as a specific for children's Group, but
owing to it's 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
scientists as to the poisonous charac-
ter of this drug when used for food
purposes, can there be any excuse for
the ignorance or unconcern which
permits anyone to take from the
grocer package of alum baking pow
der, simply for the sake of saving a
few cents in price?
It 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 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 analysed. 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 frst-class cream of
tartar powder, and if consumers in
sist upon having that brand, they
will be sure of pure. healthful ar
ticle. In view of recently reported
case of poisoning of whole family
living near LoganspOrt, Indiana, from
the use Of alum powder, it hehooves
everyone 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
powder they have been using, as the
United States Government tests
placed that brand at the head of all
the tartrate powders.

DENNIsON, Iowa, Feb. Is, 1898.
Review: Prof. Behrens delivered a
most interesting lecture al the opera
house on Sunday afternoon. The lee.
ture was interesting throughout. The
subject was an expose of Spiritualism
and by clever manipulation the lee.
turer produced all the so-called phe
nomena of the Spiritual world, anC
then showed how the tricks were &C
cemplished. Prof. Behrens is well
informed man, and made many friends

STEALING FLOWERS.
Imported Bulbs Stolen From the SibIey
Park Beds.

Park Superindent Blake states that
parties have been stealing flowers at
Sibley park at night, digging them
from the beds and taking them away
One night recently, twenty five i'm
ported tulips were stolen from one
bed. These were all valuable plants.
A few crocuses have been taken. Mr..
Blake feels very sorry over the depre
dations, land is visiting the park nights
to protect the flowers. 1t seems too
bad that the flowers cannot be allowed
to remain and bloom, as they would
add greatly to the attractiveness of
the park.
Mr.. Blake is at WORK laying out
paths in Highland park and otherwise
improving it.

BOARD OF TRADE.
Held Its Regular Meeting--.No Important
Business Transacted.

The board of trade held it's regular
meeting Mondaymorning. The resig-
nation of E. f. Soaring as a director
was received and accepted.
E. M. Currier, from the railroad
committee reported it's meeting with
Supt. Cosgrave of the G. & N. w. road
in relation to changing the end of the
division from Waseca to this city as a
matter Of greater convenience and
that Mr., Cosgrave promised to see
what could be done in the matter and
was of the opinion that it could be
tried for a while. The report was
about as published by the Free Press
at time of the meeting.
The report was accepted by the
board
Mr.. Heinze, of the committee on ar
rangements for the meeting of the
Minnesota Academy of Natural
Sciences said he had not been able to
do anything and had turned the
matter over to another member. 1t
seems that it had fallen back upon
President Shoemaker, who said he
would have teams ready to give them
a drive. He was authorized to hire
any teams necessary.
A paper being handed in for a sub
scription for the celebration of
Dewey's victory at Manila this eve
uiDg, some discussion was aroused as
to whether the board as body should
appropriate anything for it. Some of
the members criticised the holding of
a jollification at this time. Thought
1T ought to be postponed few days
as it looked as though we were on the
eve of another battle which might
result disastrously. Messrs. Jensen
and CurrieI thought it was time for
the city to wake up and that a jolli-
fcation ought to be had. Mr.. Currier
finally moved that committee of
three be appointed to confer with the
G.. A. R. for the postponement of the
matter for few evenings. The
chair appointed as such committee
Messrs. Currier, Noe and w. D.
Willard. A motion to appropriate $40
to aid in the celebration was in the
meantime withdrawn.
The sugar beet question came up,
but nothing new developed. Mr..
Staede has considerable seed on hand
which he is distributing among the
therfarmerS.

After all, none of the Nebraska
families of expert sugar beet raisers
are to be assigned to this county. One
after another, the pieces of land that
haveabeen secured haye been with
drawn and cropped, until only one
piece remains, and it is now not
thought to be worth while to get one
family. A number of farmers are
planting one and two acres each of
beets, as an experiment. Next spring
the matter should be taken in hand
before seeding time, if it is hoped to
accomplish anything practical.
