PROBABLY LAST CHAPTER.
Family of Thomas A. Williams Leaves
for the East.

What is regarded as practically the
last chapter in the story of the SEN
sational disappearance last February
of Thomas A. Williams, clerk of the
district court, took place last Friday,
when Mrs. Williams and the remain
ing children left the city, going to
Duluth, to make their future home.
One of the children, the eldest daugh.
ter, departed for the same place sew
eral months ago. She has secured a
position there and it is said that rela-
tives have made arrangements to care
for Mrs. Williams and the other chill
dren.
The case against the missing man,
proceedings to declare his Office va.
cant, is still pending in the court OF
which he was so long clerk. 1t will
not be heard before next October.
when a regular term will be held. Ac.
ton was originally instituted in the
supreme court, but that body held
that 1t had no jurisdiction and the
matter was taken into the lower court
Since Williams turned UP missing
the duties of the Office have been per
formed by E. w. Dunno, who was his
deputy.
An injustice may be done the lady
but many who are familiar with tht
circumstances connected with the case
are of the firm belief that Mrs. Viii
liams is not so completely ignoran
concerning the whereabouts of he
husband as many suppose. They pro
fess to believe that she has -heart
from him since he left the city ant
is reasonably well informed as tt
his present place of abode. Should
this be really the case she has mar
aged to keep a discreet tongue, TO
to all inquiries she has invariably ar
swered that she knew absolutely moth
ing about him and did not know wher
he was.

In the first eighth of the last heat
Daniel j. went lame and was walked
home. Eta V. and her driver could
not understand n another and she
failed to get a place. She was not
entered to win, her owner merely de-
string that she be given a lesson in
scoring. 1t was apparent that she
had but little to learn in this respect
and but for the n in which she
was driven would probably have given
some of the others a lively brush.
Feleta met with an accident, by fall
ing to her knees, in the fourth heat,
but she was quickly pulled back onto
her feet and lost little because of
the mishap. Modicum also had bad
luck. A part of her harness broke.
In addition there was a misunderstand-
ing in starting and only a part of the
bunch got off.
Feleta was given first, Daniel J.
second and Modicum third.

Although he was given the money
Gemmell did not make much. TIL

ST. Petersburg, May 2.-The gen.
ersl stan account of the operations on
the Yalu river Sunday is as follows:
At o'clock Sunday morning Japa-
nese field batteries with AZ guns
opened a terrific fire on our position
at Turenchen and on our troops post
ed near Potietinsky. The overwhelm-
ing superiority of the Japanese in ar
tillery and the heavy losses their fire
inflicted on our troops occupying
these positions made Ii clear to Gen.
Sassulitch that it was impossible to
hold Turenchen. Consequently the
troops were ordered to retire from
Turenchen, while still holding the
Potietinsky road
When Gen. Sassulitch dispatched
his telegram the Russian troops were
retiring in good order from Turen-
chen and Schakhedzy to their second
position and the battle was continu-
ing at Potietinsky and Tchin-Gu.

Children especially arefond of dainties,
and the housekeeper must look carefully
to their food.
AS good cake can be made only with
good eggs, so also cake that is health
full as well as dainty must be raised with
a pure and perfect baking powder.
Royal Baking Powder is indispensable
in the preparation Of the highest quality
of food. 1t imparts that peculiar light
ness, sweetness and flavor noticed in the
finest cake, biscuit, doughnuts, crusts, ETC.,

food wholesome and agreeable to young
