ST LOUIS, Mo-, Oct S.-The Mid
way at the ST. Louis Exposition is go
ing to be sprightly and up-to-date, but
it must depend on wholesome features
to give it popularity. Miss Helen M.
Gould is looking out for this, and is
supported by the entire board of lady
managers. Miss Gould introduced to-
day this resolution, which was unan
imously adopted:
'It is the earnest desire of the board
of lady managers of the Worlds Fair
that there be no indecent dances or
other improper exhibits in the Midway
during the exposition, and that the
exposition company be urged to use
the utmost care in awarding conces-
sicns for the shows, in order that there
be no Objectionable features
First of ALL the "roochie-goochie"
dance will be barred. In the discus
s:cn preceding the adoption OF the res
olusion references were made to the
dances which were a feature" OF the
Chicago exposition, and it was hoped
that similar exhibits would not be per-
mItted to cast stain upon the name
of the Louisiana Purchase show.
The lady managers are going to keep
a sharp eye on the concessions made to
Midway managers, and any who pre-
sent performances not in keeping with
the clean policy decided upon, will he
given short shrift.
Miss Gould announced today that
she would be pleased to entertain the
members of the board at her home IN
New York on November II. the date
set for the next meeting. The invi-
tation was accepted with expressions
of much pleasure. @g{t

Fl REVENGE IDEA

REDDING, Cal, Oct 8-Becauso
her lover, Robert A. Hiatt, of Buckeye,
left her, Nina Robertson, pretty girl
of 19 years, committed suicide hast
night. 1t is thought, by jumping from
the Redding free bridge into the Sac
rarnentO river.
Miss Robinson was a well known
young girl, and for many years had
been employed in the local telephone
central office She had been intimate
ly acquainted with young Hiatt for a
couple of years. This morning her
room in Mrs. Cramer's residence in
this city was found empty. The girl
had left the room during the night in
her night clothes. She left three let
tiers, one to Mrs. Cramer saying she
could no longer bear UP under her
troubles, and that she would end it all
in the river. Another she addressed
to the public. In it she explained
how she would make way with her
self. The third was addressed to her
lover. This was opened but was
not made public. Hiatt is supposed
to have been married in Chico a
month ago to young lady of Buckeye,
but his supposed wife is now living
in San Francisco while he is employed
in the Buckeye district. All this fore
noon search has been made along the
river banks for the body of Miss Rob-
inson, but so far no trace has been
found.
A profound mystery surrounds the
disappearance. The letters left by
the unfortunate girl would indicate
that she has really sought a watery
grave in the Sacramento, but few
circumstances have been brought out
that shed some light on the mystery,
ano this light places the affair in
somewhat of different aspect. 1t is
now thought by many that instead of
Jumping into the river she crossed the
bridge and in a wild delirium started
for the home of Hiatt. with the inten-
tion of carrying out her lately Oft
repeated threat of killing him. 1t is
evident she did not retire last night,
but spent the hours writing the pile of
letters that was found on her table.
One peculiar feature about the search
now being instituted is that not a
single trace can be found of the miss
ing girl. Not even on the soft sand
walks around the Cramer home, where
she was stopping, can footprint be
found. The river banks have been
closely scrutinized and the woods
along the river and across the bridge.
where she might go, have been
searched thoroughly, but in vain. To-
night officers will go to Buckeye in the
hopes that she might possibly have
succeeded in getting that far in the
carrying out of the threat against
Hiatt's life. AS yet, however, the
mystery is deep and all the facts
known are those obtained from the
letters written by the girl herself.

Condemned in Missouri and Confis.
Gated in New York.

Judge Clarke of st. Louis has con-
victed and fined heavily number of
grocers for selling baking powders
containing alum.
The week before the health depart
ment of New York seized a quantity
of stuff being sold for baking powder
which they found was made from
alum mixed with ground rock, and
dumped it into the river.
The health authorities are thus TAX
ing effective means to prevent the in
PRODUCTION into our markets of injuri-
GUS substitutes in place of wholesome
baking powders.
AS alum costs only two cents a
pound, there is great temptation for
those manufacturers who make sub
stitutes and imitation goods, to use it.
alum baking powders can be detected
by the health authorities by chemical
analysis, but ordinary housekeeper,
whose assistance in protecting the
health of the people is important,
cannot make a chemical examination.
She may easily know the alum pow
ders, however, from the fact that they
are sold at from ten to twenty cents
for a pound can, or that some prize
like a spoon, or glass, or piece OF
crockery, or wooden ware-is giver
with the powder as an inducement.
AS the people continue to realize the
Importance of this subject and con
sumers insist on having baking pow
der of established name and character
and as the health authorities continue
their vigorous crusades, the alum
danger will, it is hoped, finally b.
driven from our homes.

much if any resulted. Now that wet
weather has come, there seems to be
plenty of it, and cloud can not ap-
