WHO WANTS A HOUSE!
One on East Fifth Il Apparently
Without an Owner.

A curious complication has caused
small house to stand partly in the
roadway on East Fifth street, appar'
emily without an owner. Last jan
uary J. s. Schiveley bought it OF 0.
L. Bates for $3.50, giving note
which be signed as agent for G. c.
Schiveley, bis son. Later be decided
be did not want the house and told
Bates SO. Schiveley says Bates
agreed to take it back; Bates denies
it. Anyhow, Bates ordered Schive.
ley to move the house off the lot, but
it was not done. Two weeks ago
Bates sold the lot, hauled the house
into the street and attached all c. c.
Schiveley's property on the notes.
The court will have the job Of un.
tangling the knot. In the mean
while nobody claims the house.

]. ?. M0RGAN'S WISH.
1t Is to Capture the Carrying
Trade Of the World.
SMALL CONCERNS BEING FROZEN OUT


New York, April 29.-1t has been
made plain that J. Pierpont Morgan's
real intention is to girdle the globe
and capture the carrying trade Of
the world. All he needs is the Rus
sian transsiberis road, which Amer
lean engineers are building. Mr..
Morgan IL planning to build railways
in China. lie has asked China for q
permit. Last week he secured the
transatlantic steamers. This week he
Ia after the South American ships
and railways. What next he will do
no man knows But while Mr.. Nor
gan Ia combining the big carrying
line Of the globe there are more than
1000 ships-tramp aships--lying ct
American ports unable to secure cor
goes. These ships belong to small
fellows who do rot control railways,
hence are not able to make the
through rates the big fellows offer.
When they have been starved out
there will be none to say may to
this mightiest Of mighty men.
Mr.. Morgan and six other American
citizens have now become more pow
eTful than any congress or parlia-
ment in the world. Fourteen steam
ship lines and A railroad systems
are theirs. On land mileage OF
10S,500 and on sea tonnage Of /,
100000 are In their control. Three
hundred of the largest steamships In
the world and 10000 Of the best
equipped passenger and freight
trains take orders from them. This
railway mileage is greater than the
combined mileage Of Great Britain,
Russia, Germany, Spain, Holland and
Belgium. And more than 300 ves-
sells which will sail under its orders
cannot be duplicated from the mer-
chant marine Of every ocean.
A worldwide transportation trust
has long been Mr.. Morgan's dream.

Condemned in Missouri and Confs-
Gated in New York.

Judge Clarke OF st. Louis has con-
victed and fined heavily a 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 1t into the river.
The health authorities are thus
taking effective means to prevent
the introduction into our markets of
injurious substitutes in place Of
wholesome baking powders.
As alum costs only two cents 3
pound, there is great temptation for
those manufacturers who make sub.
stitutes and imitation goods, TO use
it. Alum baking powders can be de-
tected by the health authorities by
chemical analysis, but the ordinary
housekeeper, whose assistance in pro-
tecting the health Of the people is
important, cannot make chemical
examination. She may easily know
the alum powders, however, from the
fact that they are sold at from ten to
twenty cents for q pound can, Or
that some prize-like spoon or glass,
or piece Of crockery,or wooden ware
is given with the powder as an in
duoement.
As the people continue to realize
the Importance Of this subject and
consumers insist on having baking
powder Of established name and char.
acter, and as the health authorities
continue their vigorous crusades, the
alum danger will, it is hoped, finally
be driven from our homes.

Regions.

New York, April 29--.Plans for the
auxiliary Baldwin-Zeigler expedition
to northern polar regions have been
completed and the men who have
been entrusted with its direction and
management will shortly leave for
Europe. II is believed that Baldwin
has worked to the northward Of Al.
ger island and that the America is
fast in the ice. When the America
is found an effort will be made to
refill her bunkers with coal and work
her out Of the ice pack. II Is thought
that Baldwin used the America lvr

north with sledges, establishing
caches preparatory for the dash to
the pole.

scriptions to call in and pay up.
They q pay at this season If they
ever can pay. Most Of the subscribers
of The ADVERTISER are people who do
pay. .
OF course bills will be sent out as
usual. But 1t costs about three cents
to send out one bil!--nOt counting the
labor. Three per cent on one dollar is
o good deal OF money.
AS THE ADVERTISER has said, it is
difficult to print a paper at 81. a year.
it requires the hardest kind OF saving
Therefore it is hoped that ADVERTISER
subscribers will not need another re-
quest and will make TIA point to settle
