The manufacturers of Royal
Baking Powder have always

baking powder at the sacrifice
of quality.
The Royal is made from
pure grape cream of tartar, and
is the embodiment of all the

in the highest class baking

Royal Baking Powder costs

Peoria, Ills, February TT police
think they are on the track Of the assas-
sin of Governor Gosbel OF Kentucky. A
mysterious, well dressed stranger Is CO.
creating with the local force here and
sensational Developments are expected.
A young man arrived here last fall whose
namo was George F.Ahlers.. He said that
his father was member Of the firm OF
Hoffman and Ahlers, Cincinnati. He
claimed Kentucky as his home and said
repeatedly that his evidence acquitted
Gov. Gosbel of the charge OF murder.
He was very bitter In his denunciation
of Goebel and offered to bet large sums
that Goebel would be assassinated before
he reached the gubernstorial chair. He
said a near relative Of Goebers victim
was pledged to kill the governor. but In
case he failed to keep his word, Others
would not fail. He left Psoria some time
before the Kentucky tragedy and his
whereabouts Is not known.

A COMBINED ATTACK.
British Troops in Motion Every.
where.

London February S-4a m.-The
British columns are putting themselves
in motion In all parts Of the South Afri-
can war field. A combined attack upon
the Beers appears to be In progress.
Gen. Butler has gained footing on the
plateau north Of the Tugsia, after two
days fighting.
On the far western border, Lord
Methuen has begun . turning movement
against the Boer right while Gen. Mac
Donald threatens the Boer flank, thus re-
lisving the pressure on Lord Asthuen's
front.
Lord Roberts who. according to an
informant, 10 In close touch with the
war Office, 10 in the middle Of the theatre
OF war, and has begun the march on
Bloemfontein. 4
The Beers have taken the initiative
against Gen. GAtacre, attacking two OF
his positions ct Sterkstroom.
1t really looks as though the general
forward movement so long talked Of
were In progress. Gen. Buffers third
attempt at relieving Ladysmith absorbs
attention. kilograms Of from one hun
dred to two hundred words, from dozen
oorresp ndents, have been passed BY the
censor, who has apparently re-dated
messages written Monday or Tuesday TO
Wednesday at 9 p. m. From these it 10
clear that Gen. Butler. up TO Tuesday
evening, had taken one mill, had rspuised
q Boer counter attack and was holding
tae position against an ensladine fire
from Spion xop and Boorm kioof. His
losses, as mentioned By one oorrespen-
dent, are $50.
The only tioings from Boar sources
assert that ono of Gen. Bullsr's attempts
to seize the fords failed; but they admit
hat has Logged forces on one kopje.

ing any Information.
Three thousand more militia have been
ordered to prepa Q for embarkation. The

Yesterday (Tuesday) 81 4 in the after
noon, the enemy, encouraged doubtless
By their success at 5pion Kop sndsavored
to recapturs the position taken By us
at vaal Krantz.
They were beaten back, however, with
loss. The work accomplished 90 far has
been msgnificently done. Tbs shell and
Maxim fire poured In By the Beers has
been extremely severe. but our losses are,
comparatively speaking. small.
The Durham light infantry took few
prisoners In the course OF their charge.
The enemy as usual, fought with the
utmost stubboransss. The British man.
oeuvring and the accuracy Of aim on th Q
part Of the British artillery duripg the
fighting on Monday, were beyond praise.
There Is not the slightest likelihood that
the Beers will succeed In dislodg Ing us
frum the positions we have gained and
the prospects OF the relief Of Ladysmith
are decidedly hopeful.
The war balloon has proved o m st
ussiul adjunct making ssosnts daily and
getting information as to the Bosr posi-
tions. The others dirscted q heavy
shtapnel nre IN the endeavor 70 destroy
the balloon apparatus. The artillery be-
haved splendidIy throughout, ably cover
ing the infantry retirement from the
feint attack in the face Of q heavy Boer
she'll fire.
1t is believed that the Beers suffered
very heavily as their ambulanoss were
hard at work. The Boer position con-
sisted Of line of kopjes, strongly en-
trenched. extending .three miles from
Spion kop and ourving sharply. at the
eastern end to the south. about opposite
Zwarts kop which Is q steep hill south
Of the Tugela that the British occupied
before the seizure Of Potgieter's drift.
After the capture of Krantz Kioof the
heavy Boer fire prevented further adj

The CROSSING.
How Butler Crossed The
TugeIa.

London, February s.-Tbe Standard
has the following from Spearman's
Camp, dated February z;
The force under Gen. Builer Is again
advancing to the relief of Ladysmith
ana, after two days Of severe fighting. 1t
may fairly be said to have made gooi
first step on the road to the bssieRad
town.
The movement was begun at an early
hour Monday morning by way Of Pot
gieters Drift. The eleventh brigade,
forming Q part Of the fifth division un-
der Gen. Warren, made feint attack
upon the kopjes Immediately on our
'front.' The assault was delivered at the
outset under cover OF naval guns on
Mount Aiios and subsequently under
that Of neld batteries.
The infantry advanced stsadily toward
the Boer entrenohed position at Brak-
fontein and kept the enemy busily en-
ployed,
while this division was being made
the remainder Of the infantry told off
for the attack, who had bivouacked
Suuuhy ohbs AAocp hovoe
along at the foot Of Zwarts Kop In the
direction Of our right.
A pontoon bridge was thrown across
the Tugela by the engineers under the
fire of the enemy. The first battalion
TO move across In the forenoon was the
Durham light infantry Of Gen. Lyttie-
toms brigade. They advanced against
Vaal Krantz, which lies on the most
direct road TO Ladysmith; and. after two
hours splendid work. they got with In
charging distance Of the Beers.
The 6rst of the kopjes was carried by
them at the point Of the bayonet,
with the utmost gallantry. Almost stimuli.
taneously tbs first battalion rifle brigade
cleared the second kopje and after NOV
ing across the long ridge they bivouacksd
on the spot.
The feipt attack at Potgierters Drift
having served its purpose in preventing
the concentration Of the enemy at the
critical point the 11th brigade fell back
to the river.
In the oourss OF the operation both the
infantry and the artillery had been sui
jsctsd to severe shell fire.
