HOW CHEAP BAKING POWDER
IS MADE.

A recent seizure of lot Of cheap"
baking powders by the authorities of
q neighborjng city has exposed the
character of the low priced brands Of
baking powders which many manufac-
turers are offering throughout the
county. The price of the powders first
attracted attention to them. Samples
were taken and analysed. The official
report of the analysis showed the stuff
to be 'alum powders" !" composed chiefly
Of alum, sulphuric acid and pulverized
rock. The powders were declared dam
gerous to health and several thousand
pounds were confiscated and destroyed.
Physicians have frequently cautioned
consumers against mixing food with
these so-called cheap" baking powders.
They are all found, when analyzed, to
contain large percentages of alum and
sulphuric acid to which are added vari-
Gus sorts of filling matter sometimes
both injurious and nasty.
The high class. cream of tartar bak-
Ing powders. are the most economical
and wholesome and should always be
selected for use They will be found
cheaper in the end, besides making the
tf--. sss:.s. ss:.s. ind more hsalthful.

stockholders and directors for the
purpose of reviewing the business
of the past year and declaring divi-
dends. Inquiry among the local fin
anciers reveals a unanimous conclu-
sion to the effect that business has
been more prosperous during the pc
riod than at any other previous time
in the city's history. The volume
of loans has been largely increased
and easily collected, and in all
branches the business has been of a
most satisfactory nature. Taken in

$500 REWARD FOR STRUBE
Heavy Reward Offered For Arrest
of the Slayer of Alice Henneger.
The Theory Is Advanced That the
Murderer Ii Concealed Near
Scene of His Crime.

Havana, ILL.,, Nov. 21.-Although re-
wards aggregating $4,000 are now out
for the capture of Fred Strube, who
is suspected of numbering his former
sweetheart, Miss Alice Henneger. of
Havana, whose dead body was found in
the woods near Bishop, ILL.,, last Sun
day morning, not a trace of the young
man has peen discovered.
Full descriptions of Strube, his horse
and buggy are in the hands of sheriffs,
marshals and other peace officers OF
every town in Illinois, but no one has
reported clew to the missing man.
strubes parents say that SO far as
they know the young man had no mon
ey with him when he fed How he
manages to subsist among strangers,
is, as is supposed, he is stin travelling
through the country, they can not ex-
plain.
How it is possible for well-known
man in a smart rig to disappear and
leave no trace is mystifying, and many
believe that Strube has taken fight to
some large city, ST. Louis or Chicago.
Evidence at the grave of the muir
dered girl in the cornfield shows with
what care the murderer attempted to
hide his crime He used spade and
dug grave two feet deep and six feet
long, working in the dark after mid
night He scraped up the loose dirt
left after covering the body of his vic
tim and packed it away in his buggy
robe. Then he gathered leaves and
brush to cover over the fresh grave.
After all these precautions he drove
away while it was still dark and dis
appeared with his horse and buggy.
That he left in the dark is certain,
for he failed to notice the feet of the
girl protrrding, which were seen at
once by searchers on the day follow
ing his disappearance.
Gov. rates has announced the offer
Of $2tJ reward by the state for Strube's
capture.
The board of supervisors of Mason
county has offered an additional reward
Of $500. Newton Henneger, father OF
the dead girl, offered s5vo, and wealthy
farmers of the neighborhood made up
a purse of $400
Strube has been reported in several
different counties at the same time,
but when run down these rumors
amount to nothing.
