Baking
Powder
Economy

The manufacturers of Royal
Baking Powder have always declined
to produce a cheap baking powder
at the sacrifice of quality.
The Royal is made from the
most highly refined and wholesome
ingredients, and is the embodiment
of all the excellence possible to be
attained in the highest class baking
powder.
Royal Baking Powder costs only
a fair price, and is cheaper at its
price than any similar article.
The Red Cloud chief., 1900-09-07

Samples OF mixtures made in imitation Of baking
powders, but containing alum, are frequently dis
tributed from door to door, or given away in
grocery stores. Such mixtures are dangerous
to use in food, and in many cities their sale is
prohibited by law. Alum is a corrosive poison, and
all physicians condemn baking powders containing it.

The ovations given Bryan, Ste

Imperialism was scored. The
interior of the auditorium was
handsomely decorated with
flags, bunting and portraits.
The portrait of Lincoln fanked
on right and left by framed cop.

Mr.. Towne made the principal
speech. The people were urged
to rescue the republic from its
great peril. Webster Davis re.

part but resigned because he
would not sit idly by and see

Monroe City needs a we'll or.

alton. 1t should be composed
of all citizens of Monroe City
and vicinity who desire to see
our city improve as it should.
Many propositions are coming
up and with a live Business
Mems Association we could
land many new enterprises and
make our city better and more
prosperous. We are all inter.
ested. If we expect Monroe
City to grow AMI prosper we
must active must help our.
selves. More labor employing
institutions are needed. Let
some one suggest a plan by
which we can perfect a good
live working association and
thus make Monroe City more
prosperous.
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1900-07-12

We are told that the country
is prosperous. Perhaps it is,
but we notice that it is now
harder to collect what is due us
than it was to collect some
years ago. The large corpora.
tions doubtless are prosperous,
but if they are it is at the ex-
pense of the people and so the
Mckinley brand OF prosperity
is not the kind of prosperity
needed in America. Give us
that kind of prosperity which
will make the masses prosper.
Gus. Democracy is for the
prosperity of the masses.

Imperialism and militarism
are synonymous terms. and
each is good substitute for

the Journal correspondent
about his opening statement.
this morning. 1t is important
because it is the first time the
case has been officially and COM
pletely stated in court.
1t begins with the story in
the early part of August. 1879,
when 4 young man, the brother
of Millionaire John w. Gates,
was preparing to leave for the
first time ia his life, his old
HON e in st. Charles, Ill, now
the suburb of Chicago. He had
decided to go by wagon to the
State of Kansas, accompanied
by a family named Hazelhurst.
They stated August 26, 1879.
This was the last Mr.. and Mrs.
A. A. Gates ever saw of their
boy. Upon reaching Kansas he
be came engaged in doing some
freighting between Wichita and
Emporia, but not being pleased
with the prospects, uwrote let
tiers to his parents. telling them
that he had not settled perman-
emily in Kansas, and did not in
tend to do so.
After some correspondence
bet young Gates and his
par ents, Gilbert Gates started
back home on the 9th day of
January, 1881, being at that
time in excellent health. hav-
ing gained Is pounds since he
left his fathers home.
The prosecuting attorney follows
Gates through his route and
describes his meeting with the
prisoner before the bar, Alexau-
der Je ster. They travelled as
comp anions.
Gilbert M. Gates then drop
ped out of sight as completely
as if he had been swallowed by
the earth. Although nearly
thirty years have rolled away,
he has never been seen or heard
from since.
Jester was arrested for the
murder and the following prop
erty belonging to Gates was
found in his possession: One
silver watch, open faced, at
tached to two chains; one steel,
the other gold-plated; one gun,
one hat. one shirt, one pair OF
pants, Que vest and team of
horses and a wagon. Jester

In discussing the personnel Of the Navy
the report says: Eighty per cent of

The minority report, signed by Messrs.
Tate Rixey. Kitchin. Wheeler, and Van
diver. deals at length with the question
of armor plate and the construction OF
ships and then attacks the bill because Of
alleged extravagsnt appropriations carried
by il. The minority admit that the pur-
chase Of Z, 400 tons OF armor is necessity,
in order TO place the Maine Ohio, and Mis-
souri, in commission, and are willing to
pay an eXoTbitant price FOR il If necessary.

From testimony given by President

minority also holds that some OF the new

at the mercy OF these companies. and We
see but two ways of escape-either stop
building armored ships or manufacture our
own armor.
We believe if the Secretary Of the Navy
was directed TO buy srmor for not exceed
ing $500 per ton. and if he could not get
IL a that price TO build a factory. the
two companies would reduce the price TO
a reasonable sum per ton rather than 10
