dent OF the United States-has come
to pass. People saw just what they
expected to see, a plain man, Of plain
energetic speech, impressing with bis
indominable will and honest charact-
or. The train pulled in about 6
o'clock, an hour behind schedule
time and stopped ten short minutes,
Gov. Roosevelt was introduced by
Mr.. Burton and he kept bowing and
waving bis hat for several seconds
before he was permitted to speak.
His speech was very short and was
followed by General Curtis B. Guild
OF Massachusetts, member OF Cen
eral Lees staff in Cuba during the
war there, who spoke for several min
utes and severely arraigned Bryan for
declaring in recent speech "that
tho United States had no title to the
PN,lirpinea I.Tt .'ll'cense 70 hrlt
there" He read extracts from the
treaty with Spain which relinquished
possession to the United States.
After the speaking Mr.. Burton pro-
posed three cheers for Roosevelt snd
three cheers for General Guild which
we're heartily given. The crowd
then gave three cheers for j. R. Bur.
ton.
The governor and party were es'
corted to the train, shaking hands
from the stand all along the line, the
crowd cheering until the train pulled
out for Hutchinson.
The crowd was entertained before
the arrival of the train by Col. A. A.
Harris. Mr.. Burton also made a
short talk.
EVENING MEETING.
At the court house in the evening
Col. Harris spoke to crowded house.
The colonel is an old line Democrat
and the way he exposed the hypocriti.
cal pretentions Of the Bryanites ex.
cited great enthusiasm.
Considering the weather the days
meeting were great success and Re-
publicans have much to rejoice over.
AT JUNCTION CITY.
When the train arrived at Junction
City before reaching here, a great
surprise awaited the governor.
Drawn up in line on their horses were
Buffalo Bills soldiers and Indians in
costume and large crowd Of people.
A dozen or more OF the soldiers were
found to have been members Of
Roosevelt's own regiment who were
with him in Cuba. Cody's canon and
Gatling guns belched forth a salute.
When the train stopped Cody, in the
picturesque dress Of a pioneer from
ticrsman. appeared at the rear Of the
coach and was warmly greeted by the
governor. After Governor Roosevelt
had concluded bis remarks Of a few
minutes during which he introduced
Cody to the crowd, Colonel Cody said:
Ladies and Gentlemen: Governor
Roosevelt is the American cyclone,

taken to their cellars. The Wild West

On one towns celebration the sun
has shone. Abilene had for its second
annual carnival glorious werther with
clear skies and bright sunshine.
Early in the morning the people
were astir preparing for the coming
crowds. Bunting was flying every
where, horns were sounding and the
many street shows had tents ready
for the days performance.
The wind became rather boisterous
about noon but it was so much Of an
improvement on last years gale that
nobody objected.
Not since last carnival has Abilene
been SO brightly arrayed and the vis-
itors who thronged'the streets appre-
ciated it all. Special trains from
Salina, Hope, Herington, Manchester
Junction City and intermediate points
brought hundreds Of visitors each.
The Salina, Hope and Abilene bands
made music and the day was hilar-
ious one.
The merchants Of the city con-
tributed over $1,000 for the days
sport, and II crowded stores are an
indication they were amply repaid.

You cannot, il you value good health, afford
to use cheap, low-grade, alum baking pow
ders. They are apt to spoil the food; they
do endanger the health, All physicians will
tell you that alum in food is poisonous.

True Economy

The difference Of cost between a
good and a poor baking powder
would not amount for family's
supply to one dollar a year.
The poor powder would cost
many times this in doctors bills.
Royal Baking Powder may cost little
more per can, but it insures perfect,
wholesome food. In fact, it is more
economical in the end, because it goes
further in leavening and never spoils
the food.
Royal Baking Powder used always
in making the biscuit and cake saves
both health and money.

whey is drawn off, and the curd, thor

This process is repeated until the whey
