As she cannot make good cake with bad eggs,
no more can she make cake that is light, delicious

Royal Baking Powder is indispensable for the

the finest cake, biscuit, doughnuts, crusts, etc.,
which expert bakers say is unohtainable by the

THE HOME GOLD CURE.
An Ingenious Treatment by which Drunk
ards are Being Cured Daily in spite
of Themselves.


1t is now generally known and un
derstood that Drunkenness is disease
and not weakness. A body filled with
poison, and nerves completely shatter-
ed by periodical or constant use of in

eating this poison, and destroying the
craving for intoXicants. Sufferers may
now cure themselves at home without
publicity or loss of time from business
by this wonderful HOME GOLD
CURE which has been perfected after
many years of close study and treat
ment of inebriates. The faithful use

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
| CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing TO the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing fips
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get it's beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please

Golden Gate early yesterday morning
In q dense fog, She sank in a few
minutes after striking. The lates.
figures place the loss at, 122 persons,
most of whom were Chinese and Jap
anese, but it is impossible to ascer-
tain the exact number, owing to the
fact that Purser John Rooney, who
had the passenger list and roster of
the crew, is also among the missing.
AT last accounts ten bodies had. been
recovered, two white women, one
white man and seven Chinese.
The most prominent passenger on
the steamer was Rounseville Wild
man, United States consul at Hong
Kong, who was accompanied by his
wife and two children. 1t is thought
all were drowned.
The ship was in command of Pilot
Frederick Jordan when she struck.
He was rescued. Capt. William Ward
went down with his vessel.
As nearly as can be learned, there

Omaha, Feb. 25.-It has been be-
ueved for some time that Pat Grove
wa in hiding in a house in Bellevue,
and after q lengthy search it is
certain tonight that Chief Donahue
has located the house in which Grove
is guarded, and that he has informa-
ton that Grove has five companions
with him, all armed to the teeth,
ready to resist any assault which
may be made upon his stronghold.
Stronghold it is, in every sense of the
word, for the place is that which fur
nished the notorious Vic mccarthy inn
munity from arrest after every es-
cape that desperate made after COIN
hitting nero crimes.
The haunt of the Cudahy kidnaper,
as it was the haunt of Vic McCarty,
is IN Bellevue island, the most mac
cessible, impenetrable wilderness
known to exist in this portion of the
country.
The exact action to be taken by
the police cannot yet be learned, but
that a raid is being planned is with
out question, and it is expected that
Grove will be in the tolls of the law
before many hours. 4

General De Wet was routed yester.
day by Colonel Plumer, with whom
were Colonies Henniker, Craddock,
Jeffreys and Grabbo. This success
was preceded by a series of desperate
attempts on the part of the Beers to
escape from the water belt Of the
Orange and the Brak rivers.
General De Wet, after unsuccess-

"Ats dawn Colonel Plumer left We'll

the Boer camp, and moved northeast.
At Zuurgat he attacked the enemy,
taking forty prisoners. The pursuit
was continued during the afternoon,
the Beers moving toward Hopetown.
Toward evening the leading troop
sighted the enemy, who had laagered
beyond range. Colonel Owen charged
the spot where the Boer artillery was
supposed to be and captured the
whole of it.
"The enemy fed, leaving their
horses ready saddled and their cook

reports only 400 Beers recrcSsed to

ing to Kill Her Husband. I
Algona, Feb. 23.-The motive for
the shooting of Fred Foster by Cla-
nj Robinson, two weeks ago, has
at last come to the surface. Mrs.
Foster, wife of the man who was
shot, has made a full confession in
writing, duplicating herself in the
crime. She has been placed under ar
rest and is now in the custody of the
sheriff.
Mrs. Fosters confession goes on to
say that she has been intimate with
Robinson since last April; that they
had frequently talked over the mat
ter of getting Foster out of the way
in order that they might then live
together; that she knew of Robin
sons purchase of the revolver, and
that on the very night of the tragedy
Robinson was with her until II
O'Clock, and that she knew he was to
shoot Foster that night. She now
says that on that night she had gone
tc bed but was not asleep when the
shot was fired; that she heard her
husband scream and then knew that
Robinson had shot him. On the whole
it is such a confession as will SEND
her to the p~enitentiary for a period
of ears,
