How Cheap Baking Powder Is Made.

A recent seizure of a lot of cheap"
baking powders by the authorities Of a
neighboring city has exposed the char
acter of the low priced brands of baking
powders which many manufacturers are
offering throughout the country. The
price Of the powders first attracted atten-
ton to them. Samples were taken and
analysed. The official report of the an
alysis showed the stuff 10 be "alum pow
ders", composed chiefly Of alum, sui
phuric acid and pulverized rock. The
powders were declared dangerous to
health and several thousand pounds were
confscated and destroyed.
Physicians have frequently cautioned
consumers against mixing food with
these so-called "cheap" baking powders.
They are all found when analvzed, 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
better and more healthful

A Million OF More of Deaf Mute.

A Million or More Of Deaf Mutes.
Recent estimation places the number
of deaf mutes in the world at more
than 100000. This great number of
human beings, living a life which a
normal person cannot conceive, is des-
tined to increase because Of the tend
ency Of these people to marry persons
laboring under the same disability.
Examination of the records Of 1850
marriages of deaf persons shows 8 per
cent of the children to be deaf, while
only one-tenth Of 1 per cent Of the Off
spring of an equal number Of mar
riages Of normal persons are likely to
be afflicted with deafness. Deaf par
ents whose relatives are not deaf run
no greater chances Of having deaf chill
dren than persons who can hear, but in
the case of normal persons in whose
families there are members who are
deaf the danger Of deaf children Is, &C.
cording to Professor e. A. Fay, who
has studied the question, just as great
as among deaf people. New York

The first IS 90 Bi,l.

The first $500 greenback issued by
our government was in 1862, and ever
since 1864 has been an heirloom Of a
prominent family. Its age has increas-
ed its value greatly. This is also true
in regard to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
1t was introduced fifty years ago, and
because it positively cures stomach, liver
and bowel disorders it is valued more
highly than any other remedy. Those
who have once tried it always keep a
bottle on hand to cure dyspepsia, nausea,
indigestion, dizziness, heartburn, insom-
MIA, chills, colds and malaria. Sickly
women. too, realize its wonderful value
as a health maker and regulator. Be
sure to try it. Your druggist will supply
you with the genuine, also give you a
copy of our 1904 illustrated Almanac.
Ask for it before the supply is exhausted.

The Great Huidok0Oer Affair.

To the Editor:
understand that much, Capital
Stock" has been made here by persons
who claim that l kept Mr.. A.. c. Huide-
koper from locating his feeding stables
at this place.
AS a matter of fact, was in cores
pondence with the gentleman and did
offer him the place.
The following letter from Mr.. Huide-
koper tells why he did not locate here;
and that the "price had nothing to do
with it."

people know that some persons, to say
the least, have a wonderful imagination.

PhOSPHORESCENCE
Animal and Vegetable Light Ranl
Among Natures Mysteries.

Animal and Vegetable Light Rank
Among Natures Mysteries.
Animal phosphorescence is n Of the
most surprising and least understood
of natures phenomena. The pale, blu
ish white light Of the glowworm has
been found by naturalists to be de-
pendent upon the motion of the insects
body or. legs. From this it would seem
that the phosphorescence depends upon
some nervous action, regulated at pleas
ure by the insect, for 1t has the power
of %obscuring 1t entirely. If the glow
worm be crushed and the face or hands
rubbed with it, luminous streaks like
those produced by phosphorus will ap-
pear. They shine more brightly in oxy-
gen gas and in nitrous acid.
The power of emitting luminous rays
belongs to several varieties Of fly and
three species Of beetle of the genus
elater. One Of the most brilliant Of
these is the great lantern fly of South
America, which gives enough light to
enable a person to read by the rays
from a single insect. Numerous classes
of these flies are found in Surinam,
where they illuminate the darkness in
a most remarkable manner.
In some Of the Dogs Of Ireland lives
a worm which gives out a bright green
light, a fitting color for the Emerald
Isle. There are many other kinds Of
insects which become luminous in the
dark.
Yet there are many curious instances
Of ph~osphorescence in dead animals
and vegetable matter, the lobster
among crustaceans, the whiting among
fishes and decayed wood being striking
examples. Their emission of light
seems to depend, however, not upon
putrefaction, for as this progresses
their luminosity diminishes, but upon
certain unknown atmospheric condi-
tons. This phosphorescence Of decayed
matter has been regarded as somewhat
different from the slow combustion of
phosphorus, but upon examination all
the chemical conditions are found to be
the anne.
The strange phosphorescent quality
Of some plants and flowers is not ex
actly the same as that possessed by
animal matter, but it is as little under
stood. 1t seems to be an absorption Of
light and a subsequent liberation Of it
If a nasturtium is plucked during sun
shine and carried into a dark room, tn
eye, after it has reposed for a few mo
ments, will discover the flower by tn
light emitted from its leaves.
The phosphorescence Of the sea is du
to a living animal, which gives out it
light under ervou excitement, a
when it is stirred by the motion Of
passing vessel.

Dickinson Is. Gleudive.

Last Friday evening a team of High
School basket ball girls departed for
Glendive, where they were to meet their
opponents upon the arena for the first
time.
A large and enthusiastic audience
was already gathered at the hall by the
time the team reached town. The game
wal scheduled for $50 o'clock p. M. but
owing to the delay of the train, was o
called until 9:3o o'clock.
The contest was divided into two IS
minute halves with a 10 minute rest
between the halves. DR.. J. c. F. Sieg-
fried acted as ~refree, G. Routh and H.
B. Bonney umpired the game.
From the first toss up at center it
could be seen that the Glendives were
playing a game to win at any odds. In
the first half the Dickinson girls did not
do themselves justice, owing to their
first appearance in public and the strange
field of play. The opponents were
quick to take advantage of this, the re,
suit being a score Of IL to E in theil
favor at the end of the first half.
1t is no more than fair to say that thi!
was the fourth exhibition game playee
by the Glendive girls this yeer.
In the lex half the Dickinson girl!
changed their style of playing somewha
but the half was warmly contested ane
the spectors broke into cheers whe1
either side made a basket.
During this time Dickinson make thre'
more scores while Glendive added bu
two, making a total of ID to Q in favor o
Glendive.
1t is true the large score stands on tn
Glendive side but in no sense of tn
word can the result be considered as
defeat to our team. Although they hav
no hall to practice in which ful6lls tn
requirements of a basket ball court il
any respect, and have had many obsta
cles to work against in order to maintain
any practice whatever, the High Schoo
girls have much to their credit for tn
way in which they met their opponents.
The following was the order Of line up

International Has Not Given Up propoSi-
lion Of Going to Dallas.

The International and Great
Northern railway has not yet given
up the proposition of building to
Dallas, the commercial center Of
North Texas.
A few days ago j. ID. Trammell,
chief engineer of the International,
visited Ennis and was soon having
a conference with a number of bust
ness men relative To building by
way of that city to Dallas. Mr..
Trammell confidentially told well
known Ennis citizen that if the citi-
Zeus of Ennis would secure and
donate right of way from a point
near either Italy or Mertens to a
point one mile north of Ennis, and
provide suitable depot grounds in
the city the road would consider a
proposition to extend it's line that
way. The route selected by Mr..
Trammell to get through Ennis was
along the most prominent streets in
the city and this right of way alone
would cost in the neighborhood of
$50, 900. A committee of Ennis citi-
zens has been appointed to take the
matter up with the management and
see if there is anything doing.
There are some who believe that
the proposition to build to Ennis is
only made as bluff to bring Waxa-
hachie to time. 1t has been known
ever since the building of the Fort
Worth branch that the Intern ational
wanted TO get into this city, but on
account of the management's un-
reasonable demand for bonus no
agreement could be reached between
the city and the road. The road
already owns valu able property in
Dallas and it is reasonably certain
that an extension Will be made to
that city some day. When that
time comes the road cannot afford
to miss Waxahachie and neither
can the town afford to allow the
road TO pass through the county
without touching this place. When
the road is extended to Dallas
WaXahachie must get a move on
herself and make every effort pos
sibe TO secure the line.

The attorney generals race Is ex-

be told whole lot of things to do,
the platform will be a very inter
