The Straight of 1t.

- When anything unusual occurs
in a neighborhood there are al
ways different accounts of it and
a newspaper man is at all times
liable to be misinformed. Such
was the case wheE William Gel
latly's little girl met with an ac-
cident about a week ago. No
blame attaches to our informant
in this instance. We are always
glad to receive information on
any subject, but do not always
have the time or means of prov
ing the correctness of every item
that may lie handed us. 1t IS
learned that the little girl in
question was not kicked by a
horse, as was at first reported.
Mrs. Gellat1ey sent her 8-year-
old girl out to dig some potatoes
and her little sister, some two or
three years old, went along and
was picking up the potatoes as
the older girl dug them. The
ground was pretty hard and the
girl with the hoe was obliged to
strike with all her strength to
bury the hoe. Just the exact
manner in which the accident
occurred is not known, but it is
supposed as the little one stopped
forward to pick up potatoes she
was caught by the corner OF the
hoe with an up-stroke. The hoe
struck the eye and very seriously
injured it. The bone was laid
bare and it looked as though the
little girl would lose her sight IN
the injured eye. DR.. Cathey was
called and saw at once that hem
orages had taken place i'll the in
terror chambers of the eye. In
order to take no more risk than
was necessary at the expense OF
sight, DIR. Cathey advised that
the child be placed under the
care of DR.. A. B. ellis, of Sa-
lem, who makes a speciality of
the eve. This was done and at
last accounts the little girl was
getting along as nicely as could
be expected, although it was toe
soon to know for a certainty re-
garding the matter of saving the
sight Of the injured eye.

Railroad Brakeman, Is Heir to
Small Fortune.
Duluth, April 20.--An Oneida Indian
named Geronimius Silas. a brakeman in
the employ OF the Northern Pacific rail-
road or the Lake Superior division, has
discovered that he is heir to property
in Michigan, on and near the Oneida
reservation, worth $1,000. IL is an in
teresting story. A few weeks ago a
well dressed young man of swarthy APP
pearance and a prosperous air called
on Judge j. 3. Mi1ilecoff, and said that
his mother, an Oneida Indian woman,
had died in 1901 and was supposed 10
have some property. He said that he
would like to have the matter investi-
gated. Judge Middleton went to Mich
igan and found that the administrators
was Just winding up the Silas estate.
He petitioned the court to defer the
case until he had an opportunity to in
vestigate This was granted and Judge
Middleton found that the mother had
decided n farm worth 1850 to her son
before she died. In addition to that it
was discovered that the son is entitled
To- an allotment In the Oneida reserva-
ton and that the mother also had one
there.

In the House.

Washington. April is. - With the
close of the Cuban reciprocity debate
in the house yesterday the leaders an
nounced that all danger of the bin be-
ing weighted down with undesirable
amendments was over and that they
felt assured the bill would pass in the
shape in which ii came from the com
mittee. As the bill I'm its present form
Is sure to command three-f ourths OF
the vote of each side of the house, its
passage was certain If ii successfully
passed the stage when amendments
could be offered. The only cause of
anxiety heretofore has been the posi-
bility that enough Republicans would
join with the Democrats to overrule the
chair and tack onto the bill an amend
ment to abolish the differential on re-
fined sugar All the energies of the
leaders have been directed, therefore,
to bringing pressure to bear on the re-
calcitrant Republicans to induce them
to refrain from aiding this plan, and
last night at the close of the session of
the house ii was announced that the
entire Republican delegations from
Michigan and California. who consti-
tute the head and front of the oppose
ton, had agreed not to vote TO over
ride the ruling Of the chair. An I'M
successful effort was made again yes
terday by Mr.. Payne to secure an
agreement to limit the general debate.
When the house adjourned there te-
manned thirty-five members who desire
to speak.

IMPURE BAKING POWDER sr,zrn
The New York Board Of Health Find n,
Contains Alum and Rock, Declare IL
Dangerous to Health and Dump
IL Into the River.

Inc NeW hork bonFu OF hehlth Find IN
Contains Alum and Rock, Declare IL
Dangerous to Health and Dump
IL Into the River.
The New York papers report that
the Health Department of that CITY
has seized as dangerous to health
nearly two tons OF cheap mixtures sold
for baking powder and dumped them
into the offal scow to be DESTROYED
More OF the powder was found In a
Sixth ave. department store. The re-
port OF the analysis Of the Health
Department stated that 1t was IAN
alum baking powder" containing alum
and pulverized rock.
The different Health Authorities
seem to have different ways OF re-
pressing the sale of bad baking pow
ders. In England they have prescott
ed the grocers under the general law
and broken up the traffic. In Missouri
the sale of alum baking powder Is
actually prohibited by law. In New
York they seize the unwholesome stun
and cast II into the river without any
discussion. The latter way is certain
ly effective.
The alum baking powders are usu-
ally offered at a low price, ten to
twenty cents pound, or with some
prize. as a temptation to the house
wife.
Consumers can protect themselves
by buying only high-grade baking
powder of established name ana
reputation. DO not be tempted by the
grocer to take something else as lust
as good" or "our own brand" for the
trials show that the grocer himself Is
often deceived by INSCRIPTIONS max
ers. and Is selling an alum powder
without knowing 1t.
There are several good powders on
the market; let the housekeeper insist
on having what she knows is right.
and not be induced to risk the life os
the family for an imaginary saving Of
q few cents.
