S. B. ARMOUR DEAD.
Established the Famous Kansas City
Packing House.

Z
Kansas City, Mo-, March 29-S. 3.
Armour, head of the local packing
house of Armour & Co., and brother of
P. D. Armour of Chicago, died at his
home here at $3.50 this morning, of
pneumonia. Mr.. Armour had been i'll
for two weeks, He had practically re-
covered on Monday, but suffered re
lapse yesterday.
Simeon 3. Armour was born on a
farm in Mason county, in New York,
Feb. /. 1928. He was bred to hard work
on the farm, and lived there until 1870,
when, at the request of his brother,
Philip, he came here to open a branch
of the Chicago house. In the fall of 1870
and the winter of 1871 the firm of
Plankington & Armour began business
in a rented building. The spring Of
1871 the first building owned by Plank
ington & Armour was built 1t is now
a part of the big plant that covers
acres. S. B. Armour was married June
q, 1856. to Miss Margaret Klock of
Oneida, n. Y. They had no children.
Mr. Armour's most marked character
istics were a great insight into human
nature, great business tact and shrewd-
ness, economy, modeSty and simplicity
of character and life and great tender
ness.
Mr. Armour was very active in all
public affairs, and did much to en-
nance the city's worth. He helped or
ganize the New England Safe Deposit

ECUADOR GOES TO GOLD BASIS
CUISINES INTERESTS" FORCE A
MONETARY CHANGE.
Congress Passes a Law That Will
Place the Country On a Gold Basis
Within Two Gears.

Washington, March 29.-Consul Cen
eraI de Leon at Guayaquil reports to
the state department that the change of
the world to a. gold basis has finally
driven Ecuador to adopt the same
course, congress having just enacted
law which, within two years, he says.
will place the monetary system on
gold basis. Ecuador has heretofore
been upon a so-called bimetallic, but
practically monometallic silver basis;
no gold in circulation and her silver If
! redeemable The circulation of the
country was and is almost altogether
paper money issued by the banks and
redeemable in silver only The effect
of the present law, he says, will be to
put Ecuador ON gold basis, and while
paper will continue to be the money in
circulation, it will be redeemable in
gold and not in silver, as at present.
The condor, which may be reckoned as
the unit of value, will be practically of
the same metallic value as the pound
sterling and the silver sucre Will pos
sess an actual value of about 4S.5 cents
in American gold, ten of them being
equal to one condor. The stable con-
dition of Ecuadorian currency, the
financial resources Of the banks of is
sue, which the consul general says are
relatively as solid as any in the world,
and the crying need for a fixed none
tary standard, seem to giveassurance
that the present measure is wise. Con-
ditions hitherto existing have been most
favorable to the wealthy cocoa, coffee
and sugar planters, who sold their prod
ucts for gold and paid in silver for all
their purchases in Ecuador, notably for
labor, which has been the chief suf-
ferer. Wages, low at best, have been
lower still since payable in depreciat-
ed currency. The law recently enacted,
the consul general says, is expected to
be thoroughly adequate to the needs of
the country.
Mr. de Leon adds that after thorough
consideration the mercantile interests
came to the conclusion that the only
remedy for the unsatisfactory state of
affairs which has prevailed for the past
five years was the adoption of the gold
standard at the ratio of 30.6 to 1. Ecua-
dor is the fourth country of Latin
America to adopt the gold standard,
Venezuela, Costa Rfca and Peru having
already taken the step. Brazil, Urua-
gay and Chile, while nominally on
gold basis, the consul general says, are
really subject to the disadvantages of
paper money, because their internal
financial condition precludes an easy
conversion of the currency.

ANOTHER ANNEXATION SCHEME
NICARAGUANs WANT PRoTEC-
TON OF UNITED STATES.
Sentiment In Favor of Annexation Is
Growing and Party Will Be Or
ganized-Tired of Revolutions.

Bluefield. Nicaragua, March o.
Especial correspondence of the Asso-
ciated Press. via New Orleans, per
steamship Condor, March 29.)-There
are some people in Nicaragua who are
becoming thoroughly tired Of the fire.
Quent revolutions and senseless fights.
These people are gradually beng
brought under one head and this new
party will have annexation to the
United States as the foundation Of their
platform.
A few evenings ago I had a long dis
cussion with General Estrada on this
subject and was informed that the
movement had already begun to take
definite shape. During the last meeting
Of the Nicaraguan congress the presi-
dent in his message touched upon the
subject as enc of his fondest hopes. The
question Of annexation was first
brought before the people of Nicaragua
by Senior Guzman, once minister to
Washington. and at that time the
Hawaiian islands were making appli
cation for annexation. Since the war
with Spain and additional territory has
been added TO the American possessions,
the feeling is growing stronger in
Nicaragua Next year the matter viii
take some. definite form. General

OF The first to join in the movement to
establish a party in favor Of anneXa
ton and would do all in his power to
establish this party and secure the de-
sired results. 1t was the only future
for Nicaragua. Under the protection
and advice q the Americans the coun-
try would develop. The slow methods
now in use will be abandoned and that
energy which marks the American be-
come prominent here in the tropics.
The canal question would then be an
easy matter to settle. Nicaragua could
not sell a strip of land from ocean to
ocean. but Nicaragua could become a
territory Of the United States and this
strip would be part of the territory.
The resolution presented to the Ameri-
can senate authorizing the president to
treat with Nicaragua fer the purchase
Of three miles to the north of the canal
route has done a great deal to gather
these men in favor OF annexation under
one head. General Estrada added that
if the people OF the United States would
assist the movement of the Liberal
party-the administration in power in
Niearagua-the annexation would soon
occur.

New York, March pa special to
the Tribune from Montreal says: Ne
gotiations are now being carried on in
this city between officials of the Inter
colonial and Canadian Pacific railways
which are likely to result in a cancel
alton of the running powers now en-
joyed by the latter over the Intercolo-
malls roadbed between ST. John, N. B.,
and Halifax, n. S. By reason of these
powers, conferred years ago by a.
political DEAL the Canadian Pacific
has been running its through trains
between Montreal and Halifax over
the Intercolonial tracks, doing the bulk
shorter haul, without paying a cent Of
nual subvention of $4,000 from the
government for destroying the reve-
nue. of it's own road. The government
has given notice that this arrangement
must cease on June 80. After that
date the officials of the government
road want to retain for their own trains
the entire traffic between these two
points. Against this the Canadian Pa
cific railroad is making a hard fight,
and as the company Yields a great po-
litical influence, it may prevent the en-
tire cancellation of the arrangement.
In the event of the government uphold
ing the officials of the Intercolonial in
their attitude, it will mean that the
Canadian Pacific trains will not run
beyond st. Johns, N. B., which will
thus become its Atlantic terminus.

BITTER TASTE.
It Aids In the Detection of Unwhole-

Daniel Webster, in the famous White
trial in Salem, Mass, years ago, de-
clared that murder will out" This
maxim has been found applicable to
many other things besides murder.
Housewives know it to be true when
there is alum in bI'dug powder. A
bitterness in the bread at once betrays
the alum's presence. 1t can't conceal
its true nature. The alum bitterness
will out" and because it will, physi-
clans. who understand the harmful eff
feet of alum on the system, are at a
loss to know why people continue to
buy baking powders containing it. All
baking powders sold for % cents a
pound and less contain alum. There
is surely no economy in using these
cheap powders. A pure cream of tar
tar powder, such as DR.. Prices was
shown to be at the Worlds fair, goes so
much further and gives so much bet
ter results, there is no doubt of it's
being more economical in the long run.
