Baking Powder

The strongest, pureSt, most efficient and
wholesome of leavening agents. Not lowest
in price, yet the most economical; indispens-
able to all who appreciate the best and most
healthful food
Our country is enjoying prosperity almost
unsurpassed in its history.
For every one there is money enough to
buy that to eat which is pure, sound, good,
wholesome.
Why should we use cheap, impure, I'M
healthful articles of food There is no
economy in them; they endanger the health,
they may cost life. There are reported
almost daily cases of sickness caused by eat
ing cake, buildings Or biscuit made with the
cheap, alum baking powders
In all articles for food buy and use only
the best. The good health of the family is
of first consideration.

The attendance upon the social given
at the vestry Thanksgiving evening was
the largest in long time, so large as to
make it necessary to open the main
audience room. After the people were
gathered, pastor Meacham offered
prayer, the company sang America after
which Rev. E D. Mason, in behalf OF the
assembled company, presented to Kew
Mr.. Meacham very nice tur overcoat.
Mr.. Mason's remarks were very timely
and excellent and expressed in well
chosen words the appreciation and at
fiction of the community tor the pastor.
MIR. Meacham was taken completely by
surprise, but his reply was given in his
usual happy manner. After the presen-
tation, the chairman announced that the
supper was to be what is known as a
conundrum supper, and explained the
natureof it. The reading OF the conun-
drums and their answers caused much
merriment, as we'll as the ordering from
bills OF fare also in conundrums. Alto
gether the affair was one OF the pleasant
est held for a considerable time.

shine and fill his household with do
mestic affection and happiness"
This was the estimate Of the private
character Of Adlai e. Stevenson held
by J. Proctor Knott, who had known
him intimately for many years. As
both were natives of kentucky, there
may have possibly been some elements
of partiality as the result Of state
pride, always strong in the Blue Grass
country, in this opinion Of the char
acter of the Democratic nominee for
vice president, but those who have
known Mr.. Stevenson personally will
generally recognize 1t as just and true.
Regarding Mr.. Stevenson's public
services there Is, Of course, as diver
gent opinions as there are differences
Of political bent and affiliation, but
with reference to his personal charac-
ter and qualities, to which this sketch
mainly relates, there will be little dis
sent from the statement that he Is a
high type of the American gentleman.
Those close to him socially insist that
the eulogy pronounced upon Sir Thorn
as More may fairly be applied to his
personality:
II do not know II there be anywhere
to be found a more learned or better
bred man. He Is 30 civil to all men
and yet 30 particularly kind to his
friends and is SO full Of candor and af-
fection that there is not perhaps above
one or two to be found anywhere that
70 In all respects so perfect friend as
be Is. He is extraordinarily modest,
there is no artifice In him, and yet no
man has more Of prudent simplicity
than he has"
The attainments Of Mr.. Stevenson as
lawyer, his ability as a statesman
and those varied talents, exemplifed
In his public activities, which have
given him distinction among the prom
tnent men Of the country are known
and recognized by those who follow
the current history of our times. Mr..
Stevenson is q native Of Kentucky,
having been born in the Blue Grass
State on Oct, 23, 1886. He early re-
moved to Bloomington, Ills, which las
since, with the exception of a few
years, been his home. He graduated
from Center college, at Danville, KY,
In 1856 and was admitted to the bar
In 1858. His public services may be
thus briefly epitomized: He served as
district attorney Of Woodford county,
Ills., from 1864 to 1868 and was pres
tdential elector for Mcclellan and PEN
dleton In 1864. He was elected to con-
gress In 1874 and served one term; was
renominated In 1876. but was defeated.
In 1878 he was again nominated and
sIscted. Again he was a candidate for
congress in 1882, but was this time de-
keated. He was Q delegate 10 the Dem
pcratic national convention In 1884 and
assisted In the nomination Of Grover
Cleveland - president. who after his
election and Inauguration made Mr..
Dtsvsnson nrst assistant postmaster

News Democrat Leased Wire Service.1
Washington, Aug. 1.-Senator Hoar
Is no longer the idol of the Washington
league. The latter
has addressed to him an open letter de-
nouncing his expressed intention of sup
porting President Mckinley. After
telling the senator that he was respon-
sible for the formation of the league,
the letter says:
"In your public utterances you have
solemnly declared that this policy of the
president IL pursued in, will be the
abandonment of principles upon which
our government Is founded, that 1t will
that our methods Of legislation, Of Dip
lomacy, Of administration must here
after be those which belong to an en-
pire and not those which belong to a
republic.
Nevertheless, with full knoledge Of
these consequences, you now have faced
about and declare your intention to sup
port a man who gives us notice that If
elected he will continue his atrocious
policy. Today in your apostacy you
announce yourself upon the side of the

the conclusion Of Mr.. Cleveland's first
term OF office. Mr.. Stevenson was the
unanimous choice Of the Democratic
national convention of 1892 for vice
president, being nominated and elected
on the ticket with Mr.. Cleveland, serv-
ing the full tenure Of the Office.
As president Of the senate he won
and retained to the end the respect Of
the men composing the highest legisla-
tive body Of the country. He was gen..
orally regarded as a fair, capable and

people as with company Of the most
distinguished statesmen or In a circle
Of the highest literary culture. One
of the most notable features Of Mr..
Stevenson's private life is the con-
stancy Of his moral courage. A pro-
fessed believer in the sublime truths
Of the Christian religion, he never by
word or deed affords grounds for even
a suspicion of the sincerity Of his faith.
An intimate friend says Of him,
Throughout an intercourse of excep-
tional intimacy, running through near
y 20 years, l have never known him
to utter, under any circumstances, a
single syllable savoring Of profanity,
irreverence or impurity."
Endowed with a kindly and Joyous
nature, there IL with Mr.. Steven
son perennial flow Of innocent wit
and gentle humor which impart to his
conversation a zest quite impossible to
describe and make him one Of the most
companionable Of men. This Is the
way the men and women who meet
and associate with Adlai L. Stevenson
look upon the private life and person
al character Of the man whom the
Democrats Of the nation have chosen
as their candidate for vice president.
The home life of the Stevenson fam
lily is truly American and quite ideal.
They live in handsome and well kept
though not particularly imposing resi-
dence in Bloomington. 1t is a two
story brick house embowered by great
elms which shade the walks and ve-
randas, bowling with stately grace, as
II they felt the honor conferred from
time to time upon the master of the
tress of the mansion, Mrs. Letitia Green
Stevenson, is quiet, dignified lady, re-
fined and attractive. She Is leader in
the society of the city where she resides
and Is prominent in its literary, ed
ucationa. and philanthropic activities.
Mrs. Stevenson is president Of the Wo-
mems club Of Bloomington. During
the times when Washington has been
the official residence Of Mr.. Stevenson
his accomplished wife has been prom
inent in the social life Of the national
capital. They lived unostentatiously
and with democratic simplicity, having
apartments at one Of the hotels Of the
city, where in quiet but most enjoy
able way they entertained their
friends.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stevenson have son and
three daughters. one Of the latter be-
ing the wife Of Rev. Martin d. Hardin,
a son of Ex-Governor Watt P. Hardin
Of Kentucky. The Stevenson girls
were educated at Wellesley and are
young women Of culture and accom-
plishments and alike popular in the So
ciety Of their Illinois home and at the
national capital. They are withal typ
ical American girls. 1t has been for
many years the custom of Mr.. Steven
son to read aloud to the family from
favorite authors, so that the children
have grown up In an atmosphere Of
good books and are familiar with the
standard works, both In poetry and
prose. Mrs. Stevenson is the daughter
