AHEAD OF TIME.
RaitIsship Nebraska Passed Majestic
ally Into The Water.

Seattle, Wash. Oct 10.-At two
O'Clock this afternoon. thirteen min
utes before the scheduled time. the
battleship Nebraska left her ways, at
Moran Brothers shipyard in this city
and sailed gracefully and majectically
into the waters of Puget Sound. The
launching was entirely successful and
no hitch marred the proceedings The
only reason the vessel was launched
ahead of time was that, by slight
miscalculation the poppet "a wooden
brace) al the bow was raising the yes
sci too high and in the opinion of ex-
perts it was better that the supports
be knocked away without delay.
Fully $4,000 people viewed the cere-
monies and saw the big vessel slip
into the water She created but a
very small wave as she took her maid
en- plunge. and fioated gracefully out.
Naval men who viewed the launching
stated that ii was the most success
full they ever saw.
The Nebraska weighs more than
any vessel ever before launched in
the United States Navy Immediately
after the launching the big Alaska
liners that lowered about her with
decks black with excursionists,
looked diminutive beside her.
Miss Mary Main Mickey, the daugh-
ter of Governor Mickey of Nebraska,
christened the vessel.

When His Head sweIIed.

As illustrative of the exhilarating eff
fects of liquor, Alderman Hammond
Odell tells the story of a switchman
who took a drink and felt that he
ought to be section boss. He took
another and said, Il ought to be a
division superintendent" He took two
or three more and felt that he ought
to be general manager of the railroad.
Then he took two or three more and
thought he should be president of the
road.
In a few minutes the fast express
was approaching. The switchman
raised aloft his red lamp and brought
the train to a standstill.
What is the trouble?" asked the
conductor.
The switchman slowly pulled out his
watch and said, You are two minutes
late. Don't let this happen again.

Down With Bridge.

Oklahoma City, o. T., Oct. 6-The
wagon bridge crossing the South Ca
madam river between Lexington and
Purcell went down last night at nine
O'Clock carrying with it eight men
who had been working many hours
trying to save it. Only one man,
Judge Hooker, of Byers, has been
heard from. .
Five others known to have been
on the bridge when it went down are:
Mr.. Woliver, manager of the oil mill
at Purcell; Will Taylor, Lexington;
Mr.. Williams, Purcell; Mr.. CARMEL
living near Lexington; Cliff Cooley,
Purcell.
The river at Purcell has been fall
ing. The Santa Fe depot had four feet
of water in the waiting rooms, and it
has fallen considerably. The wagon
bridge that went down connected Lex
ington with Purcell, the two towns
being on the opposite sides of the
river. Search for the bodies is being
made, but as the current of the river
was very swift. it may be days before
the bodies are recovered, if ever.

Two Years War.
is NO EASY VICTORY, He SAYS.
Russia's Advantages Over Japan
Her immense Resources-Yet War
Will Cost Russia Twice as Much
Money.

Toxic, Oct. SIN addressing the
members of the united clearing house
in Toxic. today Count Okuma, the
leader of the progressive party, warn
ed the people to prepare for long
war, the date of the determination of
which it was now impossible to fore
tell. He predicted that the cost to
Japan, for two years war, including
the loans which had already been
placed, and the expenses consequent
upon the war at its termination, would
make the per capita share amount
to $40.
Count Okuma said that corruption
appeared to pervade the military, po-
litical and financial departments of
the Russian government, and that this
corruption had almost reached eli
max which threatened a revolution. 1t
was even reported that Lieutenant.
General Stoessel, now defending Port
ed the responsibility for the loss of
large share of Russian prestige in
East Asia, was guilty of dissipation
during the seige. The speaker declar-
ed that the weaknesses of Russians
gave the Japanese many victories.
He pointed out that, despite her de-
Toatc Rnccio continued IN hold ba
prominent and commanding position
in Europe, and said that even Emper-
or William was counting the favor
of the Russian autocrat'
Despite her weakness, Count Oku-
ma said. Russia possessed immense
resources and had tremendous advant-
ages in the size of her population and
the greatness of her wealth. and it
would be necessary for the japanese
to make heavy sacrifices in order to
attain success. He predicted that the
war would cost Russia from $3.50, 000,-
900 to 100000 100000, and said it would
be impossible to raise loans or to in
crease the taxes in Russia because
the limit had been reached.
The count predicted that it would
be necessary for the Japanese govern
eminent to borrow $25O,OOO,OO0 next
year, and added that if $4,000, 900
were secured abroad, the country
must face depreciation in the value
of its securities.
Count Okuma urged the nation to
carefully husband its strength and
resources and expressed the fullest
confidence in the ultimate victory of
Japanese arms.

The average consumer of baking pow
der does not know that reaction occurs
in the process of baking. Whenever a
chemical reaction takes place. the nature
of the original materials is entirely
changed, so that the substances which
remain in the food to be eaten are very
different from those which composed the
baking powder before baking. For this
reason. the statement that baking
powder contains alum or cream of tartar
is worthless so far as informing the
consumer to what he eats What the
consumer wants to know is what goes
into his stomach. not what is in the can.
Food prepared with cream of tartar
