IMPURE BAKING POWDER SEIZED

The New York Board OF Health Find IL
Contains Alum and Rock, Declare IL
Dangerous to Health and Dump
1t 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
Sixth ave. department store. The re-
port of the analysis Of the Health
Department stated that 1t was AN
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 prosecut-
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 stuff
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 a 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 and
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 maxi
ers, and is selling an alum powder
without knowing it.
There are several good powders on
the market; let the housekeeper insist
on having what she knows is right,
and not he induced to risk the life OF
the family for an imaginary saving OF
a few cents.

SOME ONE HAD BLUNDERED
Eighty-Two Kansas city Families were
Fire Swept.

Fire Swept.
KANSAS CITY: Somebody's mistake
and high wind with the odds very
greatly in favor of somebody's mistake,
made eighty two families homeless and
caused property loss by fire which is
estimated conservatively at $l50,000 to
$l55,0 600. Two solid blocks of thickly
settled residence property between Mer
cier and Fairmount, from Twenty
third to Twenty fourth street were
burned. In addition half dozen
houses We're DESTROYED on the Holly
Reservoir hill, and more or less damage
was done to dozens of houses scattered
through the Toad-a-L Loup and Reservoir
district. The mistake which caused a
delay of over thirty minutes in getting
water onto the flames lies between Paul
Deihart, who lives at Twenty-four
and Fairmount and who turned in the
alarm, and Operator Scanlon, at fire
headquarters. Scanlon says that the
alarm was turned in for Twenty first
and Fairmount, and that he repeated
the location to he sure. There is, in
| fact, no such location, the streets not
being cut through. Deihart claims that
he turned in the alarm for Twenty
! fourth and Fairmount. 1t will take
some investigation to get at the real
facts.

spend a few dollars in improving the
Tombigbee river. Not only is it one
OF the oldest rivers in the country,
according to Gambler, but it has been
travelling the even tenor of its way
ever since it was discovered. If it can
only be opened to commerce there will
be no trouble to navigate it, for" ac-
cording to Gambler. there will be no
storms to disturb. no ice to block, and
the silvery moon will light up the
crystal waves by night and the sun
will lend its transcendent rays by
day"
Mr.. Gambler told the house that
"the river moves as when the red man
trod its banks, and lies like the sleep
| ing beauty of old, awaiting the magic
| touch of improvement and progress to
awaken it to a new life" Mr.. Gambler
appealed for the magic touch, but the
| house voted against him. and the crys-
tai waves of the Topbigbee will not
dash against the prows of progress.

STORY OF The Brave
WHO KILLED CUSTER
When Appearing Elk Became a
Christian He Told it to Pastor
Who Converted Him.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. pa former
Sioux chief, now an Episcopalian rec
tor, the Rev. Philip Daloria, of Flora,
S. D., who is attending the Council of
the Protestant Episcopal Church here,
said yesterday
ut was only year ago that learn
ed the true story of the death of Gen.
custer. had been the means of con-
verting an old warrior named Appear
ing Elk. Unlike most Indian braves,
he was not much given to boasting Of
his exploits, but knew that he had
taken many ScalpS. l<s4.
Appearing Elk became a fervent
Christian and one day, afr he had
been baptised and taken into, the church
asked him to tell me of his expert
ences in the battle of the Little Big
Horn. Every Sioux wants to know who
killed Custer, and that was my first
question. was surprised when the old
man replied: I did,
81 felt pretty sure that ppearing Elk
told the truth. drew his story from
him in detail, and this is what he said:
1--WE had surrounded the last clus-
ter of soldiers when my pony was shot
from under me. When I got on my feet
again I discovered that | had been
wounded. Suddenly man in blue
loomed up in front of me.
| knew he was big chief. He was
swaying like drunken man from ex-
haustion and loss of blood because of
many bullet and arrow wounds. I
felled him with my tomahawk and then
sat on the body to be sure that should
not be robbed of my spoils. In order
to make doubly sure, | took the revol-
yer from the holster of the dead man
and stuck it in my belt.
'I didn't scalp the man because his
head was shaved. and was ashamed
to take mere piece of skin"
81 know positively continued Mr.,
Daloria. that the revolver taken by
Appearing Elk k>was subsequently iden-
titled as Clusters, and so far as have
been able to learn. Custer was the only
man in the command who had his
head shaved

after writing letters and making in
quiries wherever she could find trace
OF the former residents of A.sherville,
many of whom had left the place, she
learned that her mysterious mother
had been summoned to Chicago. whence
it is supposed she had come to Asher

name registered at the Briggs house.
Registered there, also, is the girls fos-
ter father. They both live at the st.
Elmo hotel, Denver.
Behind this commonplace circum-
stance is romantic story. 1t is a
story involving Chicago man who
laughed at the question of a girl,
Are you my father?" 1t also involves
the spirit of a girl who rather than
disclose the identity of the man she
believes to be her father, is seeking to
protect his name, though he has dis
owned her. Such story has been
told to Lieutenant McWeeney, at the
Central detectice headquarters.
For two years have been trying
to get a trace of my mother" said Miss
Dyrenforth today. "It was two years

THE RIR CUSHION
In The Bottom OF Elevator Shafts
Seems To Be a Sure Prevent
dtivc OF the Manu- Disasters
That Occur

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. "a
live monkey, half dozen eggs and
two dozen electric light globes in
an elevator car which was dropped a
distance of so feet, formed the test of
safety air cushion recently placed in
an elevator shaft at the United States
Patent Office.
The test was made today in the pres
ence of Chief Clerk Dawson, of the In
terror Department, several department
officials and the officers OF the elevator
company which installed the machin-
cry. At the bottom of the shaft was
the safety air cushion on trial. The
car shot down the shaft at terrific
speed and landed safely on the cushion
without serious damage to its contents.
The monkey, which was in the cage,
was badly frightened but unhurt.
None of the globes were broken and
only one egg of the half-dozen was
cracked. The noise, dust and confusion
about the shaft occasioned by the fall
was as if cyclone had struck the
building. The test, however, was re-
garded as entirely satisfactory.
The use of the safety air cushion in
elevator shafts is to prevent loss of
life, should the mechanical devices OF
the elevator break or fail Such cush-
ions are now in use in the shafts OF
the war, navy and state department
buildings and the library of congress.
1t is proposed to place a similar cush-
ion in the Washington monument,

mitted that they wanted to come to
America, and not having sufficient
money to pay their passage hid them
selves on board the day the vessel
sailed. They were discovered by a
night watchman and put at hard work
in the hot engine room.
There were also some sultry prom

ship reached this port. From the pelt-

such place Immediately the ship sight
