A spirited team of horses owned
by G.. II. Welliver and driven by
John Corey made things lively on
Market Square Monday morning.
They took fright at the trolley and
ran away. The driver was thrown
out and the vehicle upset. The
horses dashed upon the pavement
in front of F. P. Pursel's store,
headed straight for the lower large
plate glass window which they
would undoubtedly have run into
had it not been for the fact that the
harness became entangled about an
iron hitching post which checked
the wild behavior OF the animals
and they were both thrown. Neither
horse was injured to any extent and
the buggy was only slightly dis
abled.

DEATH COMES TO OLD AGE.
r. T. Beckett, who Lived Alone for I6
Years Farm Near the smoky, Sue
cumbs to Cancer Of the Stomach

The hermitage Of r. T. Beckett ended
last Friday morning, when he passed
away at the home Of A. n. Farley il
GOOdland, where he was taken when the
disease that caused his death had nearly
finished its work Of destruction.
R. T. Beckett came to Sherman coun-
ty in 1856 and settled on a quarter Of
land in Iowa township, where he lived in
solitude until about two weeks ago when
cancer Of the stomach reduced the old
man to helplessness. He was born in
1880 in Indiana and was never married
Mr. Beckett was by no means dependent
financially, although he lived and dressed
frugalIy.
During the civil war he was a govern
ment contractor for the purchase of
cavalry horses and acquired considerable
money. He had little faith in banks and
several years ago lost $500 that he had
secreted in a corn crib, which took FIRE
and burned while the old man was in
Goodland.
Mr.. Beckett was a gardner and each
year raised watermelons and vegetables
which he peddled about the city. Along
about January he was obliged to seek
medical aid, but the disease had made
such Roadway that little relief could be
given Growing worse, he was removed
to GoOdland that he might have better
care. A sister, Mrs. Laura Hiskey, of
Vincennes, Ind, arrived here only the
day berore he died. Mr.. Beckett alsos
has brother living at Vincennes, who is
said to be quite wealthy.
The funeral was held from the Christ
ian church Saturday, and interment
made in the Goodland cemetery.

A DisrePutabIe and Dangerous Traffic.
In all intelligent communities the dan
ger from the alum baking powder is fully
recognized and appreciated. No house
wife who is informed upon physiological
subjects will knowingly permit one of
these dangerous articles to come in con-
tact with her food.
The harmfuIness Of alum powders Is
mostly exerted among those that do not
read, who are deceived by the stories Of
peddlers and others interested in the sale
OF the inferior articles, and these are the
people who can least afford to use IN
healthful food.
The health authorities, however, are
waking up to the seriousness Of the. stu
alton. Already many arrests have been
made of the vendors of alum baking
powders. When by convictions and
heavy penalties the sale of these powders
is made both disrepuatble and expensive,
it will be blessing to the public
