Worth READING.

In all the Baking Powder Wars
that have been iutermittently waged in
the last twenty years, there is one point
that has been overlooked by the belliger
cnt makers of these goods Rival mann
facturers have contented themselves
with accusing their competitors of max
ing an unwholesome product. The
question of keeping quality and, there
for, efficiency in raising bread, the only
purpose for which baking powder is
used appears to have been generally
ignored. There are many powders which
when fresh, and the can is first uncover
ed, will DO fairly good work but after
standing for some time on the pantry
shelf. the powder becomes SO weak rs to
be almost worthless ~ far W. raising
bread il concerned. This il especially
true in the case Of the so-called ''Phos-
phate" powders, which, wereit not for this
fatal defect. would be satisfactory bak
ing powders. The unsuccessful attempts
toovercome this faultof the Phosphate
powders has enlisted the services of
more chemists aud cost more money
than the solution of any other problem
connected with the raising of bread
The makers of these Phosphate" pow
ders raise a great cry about the wonde r
ful hea!thfnlnesS of their prCduct, but
what matters all this if tne powder will
not fulfill the only object for which it il
purchased? The housewife to whom
economy is an object will avoid these
phosphate" powders.

ST. HAzIANz MAN KILLS
WILD CAT WITH CLUB
GETS BOUNTY OF 81,

Saturday morning Henry Kautza of
st. Nazianz brought the carcass of a
wild cat, which weighed twenty five
pounds, into the county clerk office and
received bounty of 81 on the same
from the clerk, the state paying 81 and
the county the same amount kautZa
had captured the animal few miles
west of st. Nazianz The wild cat was
discovered by Kautza's dog, which, after
a fierce fight with the cat, treed it in IA
scrub pine. Kautza at first thought the
animal was q racoon and knocked it to
the ground with a club, but the dog treed
it again. kautza knocked it to the
ground second time, whereupon it
fought tiercely. Kautza now welded
his club with telling effect and, with the
assistance Of the dog, succeeded in dis
patching the cat The carcass attracted
considerable interest, but there was
some uncertainty as to whether it was
a wild cat or lynx However, this was
of no Importance, inasmuch as the
bounty on the two is the same Several
wild cats have been captured duriug the
year in different parts of the county.

THE MURDER CASE.

Frank Birkle, the st. Nazianz man
who is confined in Jail awaiting trial on
a charge of murder, claims that he acted
in lf-defense when he killed Bahrs;
and, if it were not for the fact that he
left the saloon to secure the revolver
and returned with the loaded weapon
which, shortly after, he used with
deadly effect, his case on the plea OF
self defense, which will be advanced,
might be considered fairly strong; for
the evidence drawn out at the inquest
was to the effect that Bahrs, the
murdered man, was the aggressor when
the men became involved in quarrel,
both before and after Birkle had secured
the weapon and that the latter fired
the shots when he was in danger of
being injured by Bahrs, who was chok
ing him. The testimony of witnesses at
the inquest was substantially in har-
mony with the story told by Birkle at
the Jail.
Sheriff Pellet, District Attorney
Hougen and Coroner Meany went to ST
Nazianz last Thursday morning to in
vestigate the details of the crime at the
scene of the tragedy An inquest had
already been called by a local justice, so
that the record of the evidence was pre-
pared by the time the above named
county officials had arrived.
The two men with number of others
were at the saloon when the quarrel be-
gan. A scuffle ensued in which Bahrs
had the advantage of Birkle because of
the formers superior strength. But
others interfered and permitted BIZ kle
to leave the room. When Birkle re-
entered the saloon after a short time,
Bahrs at once renewed the quarrel and,
a few minutes later, made an attack
upon Birkle. 1t was then that the fatal
shots were fired. The first bullet pene-
trated the left temple and the second
the heart, causing almost instant death.
Dr. Luhmann was called to examine
Birkle at the Jail, and evidence that a
vicious attack had been made upon
the latter was found in the finger marks
about his throat.
Brkle was arraigned in municipal
court late Thursday afternoon, but he
waived plea and the preliminary hear
ing was adjourned until October 30,
when the prisoner will no doubt be
bound over to the circuit court for trial.
Besides taking advantage of the plea of
self defense it is likely that the plea of
insanity will be advanced. If so, this
will require separate trial; and if he
should be pronounced sane, the plea of
self-defense would be open to him in the
trial on the charge of murder.
