followed. Baird opposed the bill on

ment was carried by a unanimous vote

A PERFECT BAKING POWDER.

The constantly increasing demand for Dr.. Prices
Cream Baking Powder, the standard cream Of tartar
powder for forty years, is due to two causes.
FIRST:-The extreme care exercised by the man
ufacturers to make it pure, uniform in quality
and of highest leavening power. Skilled chemists
test every ingredient as to purity and strength.
SECOND-Recent State Investigations show that
the majorityof other baking powders contain alum,
and consumers are giving such powders awide berth.
Nothing is left to chance in the manufacture Of
DR.. Prices Cream Baking Powder
1t is pronounced by ali authorities as free from alum
or other adulterant. It never disappoints. Each can
is lie the other. The BEST il ALWAYS the
CHEAPEST.

THE REVIVAL MEETINGS.

The object of the revival meetings
h-and should pc to awaken a great
er interest in the subject of religion in
the hearts of Christian people and to
try and bring those who are not Chris
tians under religious influences and to
induce them to enter upon a Christian
life. Almost every thoughtful person
would admit that these are worthy OBJ
jects.
The meetings now being carried on
by Rev. Rankin at the Presbyterian
church are conducted with this object.
Mr.. Rankin is not a "Ranter" but pre-
sents the truth in a clear and impress
sive way which is convincing. Mr..
Shivreman, who conducts the singing,
makes that service very interesting.
Amy one who will come to the meetings
can scarce help being made better and
happier by it.

A 1 R DESTROYER.
Public Test Made This Afternoon in
Laramie.

Mr.. Alfred Bennett is here from
Kansas City in the interests of the
King Fire Destroyer, manufactured by
the Clark Manufacturing company of
Kansas City.
A test of the fire extinguisher was
made this afternoon on the open space
on front street near the freight house
about 3 o'clock. A pile of boxes, BAR
rels and straw upon which oil wa
poured was set on fire and Mr.. Bennett
gave a practical working test of the
machine, which was entirely satisfac-
tory.
The King & Clark fire destroyer is
made of solid hard rolled copper Sc
cure,y riveted and soldered and has no
glass to break and deteriorate the ac-
tion of the machine or endanger the life
of the operator, no stop cocks to COM
plicate the use Of the machine and
there is NJ danger by reason OF acct
dental overturning. 1t has no fall STOP
per which necessitates reloading every
few weeks and there are no angles in
the hose connections to choke by cor
worthless at a critical moment.
The fire destroyer has been endorsed
by Governor DeForest Richards, who,
as President Of the state board Of chart
ties and reforms ordered four Of these
machines placed in the state insane
asylum at Evanston. The own Of
Rock Springs has purchased twenty
five, Green River twenty and Cheyenne
fifty.
Board of Underwriters of the Pacific,
having headquarters at Salt Lake,
Utah, writes d letter OF introduction of
Mr.. Bennett and endorses the King &
Clark machines and states that fire
d~estroyers were placed in many large
office buildings which are under the
constant care Of the janitors and
%watchmen, day and night and in these
instances gives the owners credit on
their insurance rates.
Mr.. Bennett has sold many of these
machines in Australia and New Zea-
land.
According to authority 62 per cent
of the loss on stocks accrue by reason
OF water and smoke and 3S per cent
of the. loss by fire.

INVESTIGATING FREIGHT RATES

Proposed Advances.


Washington, Dec. 23.-Hearing was
begun today by the interstate COM
MERGE commission in the matter Of the
changes in freight classification and
freight rates by carriers using classiti-
cation. Many complaints have been
filed with the commission. alleging
that discriminating changes in freight
classification have been agreed upon to
take effect January next. To deter
mine this question hearing was held
today.
Chairman Gill, of the "oflicial class.
iication committee" was the first wit
moss. He maintained the propose adj
vances were due to the increased cost
OF railroad plants and maintenance,
and that advances had been applied to
classes OF freight that could we'll pay
them. He intimated that for some
reason still further advances probably
would have to be made.

without waiting for the report of the

house OF congress before that report is
available,
