assigned to the case. Tnsy looked the
situation over and found several articles
of jewelry strewn about the rear yard.

a yard adjoining that of the jewelry store
they found the ground dug up. They OBJ
tanned shovel and removed the freshly
disturbed earth. Eighteen inches under

I watcheases, So pocket knives, s pen hold
ers and plush cases, collar buttons, l0
pairs of cuff buttons, II pairs of earrings,
5 chain bracelets, neck chain and charm

ANOTHER JERSEY HERO.
Lieutenant Hyer's Bravery
Near Peking.

Especial to sThe Jersey City News."1
NEWARK Sept. Is, 1900-First Lieuten-
ant Benjamin B. Hyer, of the Sixth Cav
airy, is one of the American officers who
has recently distinguished himself in
China. According to the latest dis
patches he engaged force of eco Boxers
near Peking, with troop of horse, about
sixty in number. He routed the enemy,
killing some twenty-five, and captured
rifles and treasure.
Lieutenant Hyer on the way to China
was detailed by General Chaffee, who
sailed in the same transport, and who
had been an old Sixth Cavalry officer, as
extra aide on his personal staff. This
young officer will be remembered by New
arkers as having been the recruiting Off
Ger on duty in Newark during the Span
ish War, from which he was detained by
illness and other assignments.
He entered West Point in 1889 as a cadei
from New York State, of which he was 9
native, and was graduated in 1893 well VI
in his class. Selecting the cavalry as his
preferred arm, Lieutenant Hyer speedily
distinguished himself at Fort Myers, Va.
as one of the drill masters of the famous
two troops of the Sixth Cavalry. whose
equestrian fame and feats of horseman-
ship made them the show troopers of tht
United States army and universally In de-
mand at tournaments and exhibitions.
Lieutenant Hyer served also at For
Leavenworth and at Fort Sill, and found
his active field service aside from In
dian warfare in the Pel<ing relief expedi
ton. This OFFICER married Miss Mabe

BERGENs VISITS MIHKs.
The Campaign Abandoned for Euchre
and Pool,

The Minkakwa Republican Club held a
very short meeting last night as a delega-
ton from the Bergen Republican Club
had dropped in for a social visit. After
the meeting refreshments were served and
an impromptu euchre party was enjoyed
by some, while others played pool. The
evening was spent very enjoyably, and
the esteem of the Bergens for the Minks
was considerably raised.
OF course some political talk was in
dulged in, but nothing of Importance was
talked of in the way of ''booms' or plans.
The Bergens went home with the inten-
ton of seeing more of Greenville at some
other time and gave the Minks warm in
Vitation to call ON them.

ALUM BAKING POWDER
Congress Acting to Suppress Their
Sale.


The report of the Senate Committee on
Manufactures upon the subject of food
adulteration and food frauds has
awakened great interest throughout the
country.
If there could be published list of the
names of all articles of food found by
the Committee to be adulterated or made
from injurious ingredients, it would be of
inestimable value to the public.
The recommendations of the Committee
that the sale of alum baking powders be
prohibited by law, will make of special
interest the following list of names of
baking powders which chemists have
found to contain alum:-
Baking Powders Containing Alum:
DAVIS o. K.................Contai Alum.
Mani. by r. B. Davis & Co., New York.
WASHINGTON ............ Contains Alum.
Mani. by Washington Baking Powder Co.
GEM ..........................C Contains Alum.
Mani. by A. j. Howell, New York.
/. C.......................... ..ContainS Alum.
Mani by Jaques Mfg. Co., Chicago.
UE,RSEY BELL. Contains Alum.
Mani. by The Ford & Creveling Co.,
Jersey City.
GRAND UNION. .............C Contains Alum.
Mani. by the Grand Union Tea Co.,
New York.
EGG Contains Alum
Mani. by Egg Baking Powder Co.,
New York.
A. Sr Contains Alum.
Mani. by Atlantic and Pacific Tea Co.,
New York.
1t il unfortunate that many manufac-
turers of alum baking powders state that
their powders do not contain alum. 1t is
only right that consumers should have
correct information as to the character
Of every article of food offered to them.

4 queer story is told by Lincoln
(NeN) paper of how misfortune of It's
own accord turned into good luck for a
Nebraska farmer. He was a man from
Missouri, who had invested his all in a
big wheat field in Buffalo county, and
then by means OF mortgage on his
land he raised 500 with which to raisa
wheat. 1t happened to be a poor veal
for wheat, and the stand was DOT very
good. Concluding that it wasn't worth
harvesting, he pulled up his stakes and
went back to Missouri, leaving the farm
to fight the mortgage all by itself. This
farm was equal to the occasion. The
wheat ripened, fell down and deposited
the seed In the soil again. Next sprinA
the wheat began to grow Justify. SONS
OF the neighbors were honest enough
to write about 1t down to the fugitive
in Missouri, and he got interested
enough to come back and take a look
Then he stopped and harvested his
voluntary crop. He sold 1t for enough
to pay of the mortgage and the resi-
Of his debts and had a. tidy little Err.
plus overs with which he moved btu
family back. and now declares thers

oon4te de Dlon,s Transformation.

eontte de DIon's Transformation.
The way to make useful citizen out
# an idler is to give him a real inters
est in life. Comte de Dion, the promot-
er Of the automobile In France. where
the new vehicle first attained popular
ity, is, according to the Bicycling
World, a striking illustration of this
truth. The eomte was long the typical
white carnation of the Paris arfstoc-
faey, which means that he was a
ne'er-do- we'll The merest accident
suffieed to put him on the right track.
One day he bought a miniature loco
motive for the little son of one of his
friends, and carried the toy to the
child. But though they lighted the
alcohol lamp and got up steam In the
tiny boiler. for some reason the thing
would not work. Comte de Dion Is of
stubborn disposition He persisted, tried
this cog and that, finally taking Off
his coat to work more at ease. He
puzT1d the whole afternoon on the
engine with no success. Then he car
Tied 1t home and spent the night squat
ting on the floor amidst an assortment
of screwdrivers, hammers and files he
had bought on the way. The locomo-
tive was taken completely apart and
readjusted several times At last, to-
ward daybreak, the young count had
the satisfaction Of seeing the toy travel
inerrily around the room. Having thus
discovered within him taste and an
aptitude for mechanics, Comte de Dion
did not return to his idling, but studied
until he became an engineer. 1t was
at this period that he showed remark
able business perspicacity in investing
all his capital In the automobile indus
try. At time when everybody was
deriGing the first clumsy machines,
that spurted and SHE'D and then re-
fused to bulge for hours, he under
stood the possibilities of the motor car
and resolutely cast his lot with it's
fortune. It is generally acknowledged
tina. no man in France has done so
mu h to further the cause of the new
loo motion.

THIS HERO WORE NO UNIFORM
He Braved Death In poisonoe.s Wen
to Save His Neighbors.


From the Kansas City Journal:
Near Maple City. in Cowley county.
one. day last week. Farmer John Ste
venson and his hired man went down
into we'll to clean 1t out. Both were
overcome by foul air and were stone
dead when taken from the we'll. On
the same day, at the little village of
Gatharine, In Ellis county, similar
catastrophe resulted In bringing
forth hero whose name is worthy of
enrolment among the best and great
est. Paul Meis went down into his
fathers we'll after fallen bucket. He
was overcome by the gas and became
unconscious. William Pelzef bravely
went down after Meis, and he in turn
euecunabed TO the deadly vapor. Then
Paul keonec went down after the other
two and met similar fate, and this
was the situation when Henry Karltn
arrived on the scene. Without mo-
Tent's Hesitation Karin had a rope
tied beneath his arms and g silk hand
kerchfef over his face, and he was then
lowered in the well carrying an extra
rope Reaching the bottom ne hastily
tied the loose rope around the leg of
G man and the man was hoisted TO the
surface. Twice this operation was re-
peated, and then Kaflin was hauled
out, he having become unconscious Just
as he finished tying the rope ON the
last man. All four remained uneon-
sciolls fer a long time, but doctors
fnally succeeded in bringing them
around. Neither Pelzel nor Keoner
knew the danger they were going into,
as they bad never heard of water gas,
but kariin did. and he took thesehancas
like a bero.

Astonishing Courage and Goodness Dis
played by Little Girl.
The Importance of early instruction
n the art CT swimming received a
striking illustration in the recent res
cue from drowning of 6-year-old girl
at Port Jefferson, N. Y. says Lesile's
Weekly. The child saved was Clar1ce
Petit. the little daughter of DR.. and
Mrs. Henry Petit of Brooklyn. Dr.
Pettit. who is q physical instructor
in Adelphi college. was out sailing with
mis- wife, three children, Including
clarfce, and maid, In his yacht, the
Orient Mrs. Petit was at the wheel,
when a sudden gust caused the yacht
to heel to port. and Clarice was thrown
intp the water. DR.. Petit sprang 10
her rescue. but the child had disap-
peared. She soon came to the surface,
however, near the dingey, wnere she
s5pained herself for q moment OF an
oar Hearing her father call her name,
the little one let go her support and
SWAN toward him, and the two, mo-
ment later, were picked up and safely
restored to the yacht, but little the
worse for their experience. The u11-
usual feature of the affair was the as
tonishing eoolness and courage dis
played by the child, en- evidence OF the
excellent physical training she has re-
eeived. Although the little swimmer
sank beneath the waves several times
after going overheard, she gave not
the slightest sign of fear or excite
ment, but seemed perfectly confident
in her own power to sustain herself un-
til help should come. When asked.
after her return to the yacht, why
she had let go the oar, she said: 4
could not seem to swim fast enough
wiz it, OF her experience under the
water she remarked: "Tt was dark
down there, but kept my mouth shut
SO that would not swallow water. .
