THE FORESTERS' BALL.
A Great Crowd Present and Gen.
eral Good Time Enjoyed.

The district court room was crowded
last night, the event being the annual
ball of the Foresters OF America. For
several weeks past preparations for
| this event have been going on and to
say that it was a grand success does
not do it justice. All the committees
did their work we'll and everything
went off very smoothly.
The court room was decorated for
the occasion and presented beautiful
appearance. Flags, bunting and orna-
ments embIematic of the order of
Foresters were artistically arranged
on the walls and the effect was very
charming.
There were 20 numbers on the pro-
gram and few extras were added af-
ter the dance commenced. After the
tenth dance, which was a 1.-TWO step, "
supper was announced and the dancers
circled around table in the hallway,
which was loaded down with delicious
refreshments.
When the orchestra struck up the
ssHome, Sw eet Home' waltz it was well
on to o'clock this morning and the
crowd dispersed feeling that the time
had been very enjoyable spent.
Among those present were Mr.. and
Mrs. Sam Bridgers and Mr.. and Mrs.
Manning Clements, two happy couples
who were early in the evening joined
in the happy bonds OF wedlock.

Newspaper Men Adopt Resolutions,

A Houston dispatch says; There
was meeting of local newspaper men
at the Herald Office at II o'clock today
to take appropriate action on the death
of Bayless M. Vanderhurst, who for
merly lived in this city, and who was a
personal friend of every one OF
the older set of newspaper
men here. Mr.. Hamp Cook of The
Galveston News was called to preside
over the meeting, and he explained,
with feeling. the purpose for which the
meeting was called. On motion,
Messrs: w: h: Bailey, D. D. Bryan,
James G. Stanley and N. w. Floyd
suitable resolutions upon the death of
their friend and former comrade, B.
M. Vanderhurst, and they reported the
following, which we're adopted:
Whereas, It has pleased Almighty
God to remove from q busy and tireless
life our friend and former comrade,
Bayless M. Vanderhurst; and
Whereas, while humbly bowling to
the will Of the Supreme Being, we
must confess to an inscrutable design,
which has cut off life so full of prom
ise and hope; therefore be it
Resolved, !. That in the death of
Bsyless M. Vanderhurst the newspaper
men of Houston feel, each of us, that
we have lost true and tried personal
friend, and that the cause of Journal
lem has lost one of its brightest and
most tireless workers, man whose
loyalty to his friends and his news
paper was never questioned.
Resolved, 2. That while extending our
sincere and heartfelt sympathy to
the family of the deceased, we can but
hope that the great God of all will as
suage their grief aud comfort them,
where human words seem but hollow
mockery.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS
Of the Killing of.George Wilson and
the Capture of One of the Muir
d ererS.

Briston Davis returned yesterday
afternoon from San Pedro. He was on
the train which was carrying the
Mexican officers northwsrd in pursuit
of the murderers of Wilson.
Five miles south of Guzman a boy
who was standing on the platform Look
ing down between the cars saw a man
crOuched under q bridge as the train
passed over it.
He notified guard; the train was
stopped and backed up. Britton Davis
and the officers alis hted and looked
under the bridge. They found q man
lying close up to the ties on the trestle
work and doing his best to conceal
himself. He was ordered to come out
and complied reluctantly.
The man admitted that he was one
of the three fugitives but denied that
he fired the shot that killed Wilson.
He was unarmed when captured and
had but q few cents in money on his
person. A careful search of the bridge
and vicinity was made for concealed
money and weapons but none of either
were found.
The prisoner gave his name as Jose
Soto and claimed TO be Chilean by
birth. He answered perfectly the de-
scriptiOn of the One-eyed man seen at
Sabinal Tuesday morning.
Soto was taken aboard the train and
carried north until the south bound
train was met. He wos then put
aboard that and taken toward San
Pedro, where he will be held for
trial.
Further details of the shooting are
to the effect that Wilson and Smith
were returning from the company
store when they were met in the road
by the three men who demanded their
money. Smith and Wilson made q
show of resisting whereupon one of the
drew q dirk and another
q pistol. The one with the pistol is
said to have been the one eyed man
captured yesterday. He fired one
shot which passed through Wilson's
neck, killing him instantly.
AS stated yesterday the murderers
procured about $500 in money.

AVOID ALUM BAKING POWDERS.
Their Use Is Dangerous To Health.

Their Use Is Dangerous To Health.
The condemnation of alum as an un.
wholesome ingredient in baking
powders by the government authori-
ties as well as by the Iowa and Min
nesots State Boards of Health and
physicians generally. has not deferred
manufacturers of such powders from
foisting them on the public. Follow.
Ing Is partial list of the condemned
alum powders found in the stores in
this section:
Calumet. Kitchen Queen.
Alexander's Manhattan.
Bain's. Our Jersey
Bon Ton. Perfect.
DR.. Hughes Grape. STRENGTH
Dodson & Hil'ls. Taylor q.
grants Bon Bon. One Spoon.
Gooo LUCK. Vision.
Jack Frost. Yarnall's
K. @.
It is safe to reject all brands sold
with prize. All powders sold at
twenty-five cents or less q pound are
sure to be made of alum. DR.. Wiley,
the Government Chemist. in his Off
cial examination of baking powders at
the Worlds Fair, threw out all "alum
powders" CHASING them as unfit for
human food.
But the World Fair could approve
as well as condemn. After the most
elaborate tests, it bestowed the high
est award for purity, leavening power,
keeping qualities and general excel
lence on DR.. Prices Cream Baking
