The purity of the Baking Powder
named Perfect" is guarantee against
sallow compilations caused by indi
gestion. At Helfrich M. Co.
Senator Heitfeld and Congress-
man Gum each strongly favor a
fusion of the three silver parties of
Idaho.
Ladies now realize that it is not the
fault OF the flour that causes failure sc
often in cakes, pastry, ETC., but the
paking powder. Use the Perfect
Baking Powder and have good results
from any flour. AT Helfrich's.
1t won't down. The silver ques-
ton will be the leading issue in all
the states this fall, Notwithstanding
the efforts of the Hannaites to OBJ
scure il as much as possible by talk
ing war and raising other issues.
Chemists tell us the chean, impure
baking powders leave a sediment in
the bread that causes sallow skin and
horrible indigestion. Since you can
buy the brand named Perfect" which
is chemically pure, so reasonable, you
are projected against such results.

ing the tired out nervous system to n
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This

the stomach, gently stimulates the
liver and kidneys. and aids these or

nounced by those who have tried it, as

CHURCH DEBT WIPED OUT
Great Rejoicing in Milan over Rev. j. Ii.
Rutter's Accomplishment.

There is great rejoicing among the
Methodists in Milan. Sunday was a
day of supreme Importance in the
annals of the NJ. Z. church there. The
last of the church debt of 81, 600 was
wiped out by the raising of So 600.
The credit of the contamination of the
undertaking is due to the energetic
pastor, who during his two years la
kors in Milan has devoted himself I'M
ceasin9ly to the removal of the in
cumbrance which has hung over the
church. The people of Milan and
vicinity have responded literally to
the appeals of the church.
The morning service was held at
1880. Rev w. ii. Milburn, the blind
chaplain of the United States senate,
delivered an eloquent sermon. At the
close of the service, Rev. j. Il. Rutter
announced that the debt of che church
was to he paid, which was lacking but
a little over 5000 of accomplishment.
There were some offerings of S25,
when the congregation adiouned for
dinner to meet again at 3 O'Clock,
when most of the money was raised
excepting $3.50. which was secured in
the evening. Rev. j. Il. Ruttcr, as
sisted by Presiding Elder NJ. V. Crum-
baker and Rev. Milburn. held the
praise services. The church was
first dedicated Sunday. Feb. IL, 1894,
on a subscription, and the cost was
estimated at about 81, 400.

Valuable Historical work.

Robert Kissick, l.. l.. B.. of Oska-
loosa, who is now in the city. is the
author of work of great usefulness
and instruction in his philosophical
History of the Formation of the
American Republic" which traces
the history of the government from
it's very incipiency through and to
the end of the civil war. The ulti-
mate object of the work is best told
by the author, when he says that by
presenting in Il philOsophic way,
through a combination of history,
civil government and political sci
ence, such picture of how our re-
public was built. the materials out of
which it was built, and the great con-
fiiets through which it passed while
being built, up to the close of the
civil war, as will stimulate and de-
velop in the present and future gem
erations such Il vigorous patriotism
as will maintain the freedom be-
queathed by the makers and presery-
ers of the repu bile.
Even a hasty glance through the
well-written pages of the book shows
hows how sincerely it has been the
aim to fulfill such a mission as is set
forth. New thought cleverly pre-
sented is certain to awaken u new and
healthy interest, which is heightened
as the reader progresses. Ard it is
worthy of that increased interest that
is bound to result from perusal.

A SHOOTING TOURNAMENT
Beginning of Two Days Sport at the Base
Ball Park.


a 2-days' clay pigeon shooting
tournament, under the auspices of the
Rock Island Gun club, opened today
at the Twelfth street base ball park.
There is no outdoor amusement in
which ones nerve or skin are shown
to better advantage than at trap shoot
ing. What are known as clay birds or
targets are made from a composition
which is very brittle and easily broken
when hit with one or more shot.
These clay birds are about the size
and shape of saucer and are placed
in Il trap which. at the proper signal,
is sprung and the clay bird is sent
sailing through the air ut great speed.
The shooter then tries TO hit it while
in the air, and if he succeeds it is
scored as dead bird, and if he
fails to break it, il is scored ..lost. "
The amusement is not confined to
men nowadays. for there are many
ladies who shoot at the traps, and
some of them are very proficient, too.
The club has made preparations and
expects fully 30 shooters from various
points in this state and Iowa, many of
them among the best shots in the
states mentioned. The gun club has
placed the price of admission at ID
cents to help defray the expenses of
the park for shooting
purposes. Gentlemen may take their
ladies with perfect assurance that
they will see nice entertainment.
