How Cheap Baking Powder Is Made.

The health department Of New York has
seized a quantity Of so-calied cheap bak-
ing powder which il found in that city.
Attention was attracted TO il by the low
price at which it was being sold in the

and the chemist of the health department
reported the stuff to be AN alum powder
which analysis showed to be composed
chiefly Of alum and pulverized rock.
The powder was declared TO be danger

pounds were carted to the ofal dock and

Ames. Aug. 15.-P. Rockabrand. head
brakeman of the first section OF No. 81
a west bound freight, was killed here
this morning about 1870 O'clock. The
last seen of him he was coming out
of the switch tower at the west end OF
the Ames yards With Rear Brakeman
Fred Lilly, of Boone. They went up to
the train to set out a car and in the
switching that followed it is supposed
he fell under the train. 1t was raining
hard al the time and it is presumed he
slipped on the wet rails. When the
train started to go out Conductor Dele
hanty, of Clinton, asked the rear brake
man where Rockabrand was and re-
ceived the reply that he had probably
gone to the lunch counter. AS he did
not board the train when it pulled out
they stopped and search was insti-
tuted. He was found about two car
lengths east of the motor track, near
the tower. His body was cut in two and
both arms were cut off, the right one
above the elbow and the left one be-
low. There was also a deep cash i'll the
top of his head.
Rockabrand was unmarried and lived
in Clinton, where he has brother who
runs barber shop on Fourth street.
The brother has been notified and it is
probable the remains win be taken to
Clinton for burial.

Waterloo Mayor Will Not License Any
More Disgusting Shows.
Special to Times Republican.
Waterloo, Aug. 15.-In response to a
well defined sentiment among business
men Mayor Martin has decided not to
license any more of the disgusting
street corner snake shows.
The shows are disgusting, but always
attract crowds. To see a woman in a
cage with lot of filthy reptiles crawl
ing about her is n type of degradation
that is hard to equal and certainly one
that should be prevented if possible.
That humans would handle the snakes
and live in the den with them is bad
enough. but to bite the reptiles head
off and chew it, altho they do not swal
low it as they pretend is worse, aud If
the snake charmers' have sunk low
enough so that they do this for the few
paltry pennies, there is only one way
to prevent it and that is for the city
authorities to refuse TO allow them on
the streets.
