KERKHovEN BANNER:
The barn on the Gunder Nj oen farm in the
town of Arctander was destroyed by fire on
Thursday morning of last week. Three
horses persisted IN the flames. quantity
of hay. three sets of harness and single har-
ness together with other equipment was also
destroyed. The fire was set by lightning.
The barn was large one and was insured
for only small part Of it's value. In his en-
deavor to save the horses Mr.. Moen came
near losing his own life. While he was un-
tying the animals the barn filled with smoke
so rapidly that he could not see the door
and he had to get down all tours and
crawl along the side of the building till he
came to opening where he could get out
and was almost suffocatcd before he reached
it. Only one of the horses he loosened got
out of the building. For time it looked as
though the house the farm was also
doomed to destruction the wind was
blowing burning brands from the barn onto
it. Before it had taken fire, however, the
wind shifted sufficiently to carry the burning
brands in another direction thus saving the
house.
Patrick O'Brien, Of DeGraH, was arres ted
last Saturday on complaint OF Mayor Berge,
of this village. Two charges were preferred
against O'Brien, one for selling liquor with
out a license, the other for selling liquor in a
village in which a majority of votes had been
cast against license. O'Brien was brought
before Justice Archer, waived examination
and was bound over to the grand jury. He
will be tried at the fall term of the district
court. The trouble arose over his having
delivered a quantity of liquor here on Thurs
day of last week to one Of the crews engaged
in moving the elevators. In company with

Mortified News, (Rep.): The poll

be, as near as one can Judge, about
this:~ There are about 20, 900 or 30, 600
independent voters who will vote as
they please regardless of the party
lash or the federal machine. They
will not be governed in their choice OF
candidates by political machinists,
railroad or lumber trusts or by the
newspaper organs controlled by t. ese
agencies. This independent is the
vote that will elect the next governor
of Minnesota. Who will get it?

United States Dispensatory. There is
not the slightest evidence to dispute
this scientific fact, and yet in the blind
advertisement referred to the Trust
has the nerve to attempt to make the
public believe that the residue in their
baking powder is perfectly healthful.
DR.. A Warner Shepard, formerly
Health Officer of Brooklyn, said: IT
have not the slightest doubt that the
mental and physical health of thous-
ands is permanently injured by the
excessive use of Rochelle Salts in
impure beer, bread and other forms of
food and drink. It is certainly a
factor in the alarming increase of
Bright's disease of the kidneys, and
similar complaints. It irritates the
stomach, bowels and kidneys, and
may therefore produce unfortunate
results.''
The object which they hope to attain
by this underhand method of competi-
tion is to brighten the consumer into
paying the extortionate price demand
ed for their goods AS to SO cents per
pound, when the best baking powder
In the world can be made to retail at
rs cents per pound, the price asked
for Calumet, and leave fair manu-
facturer's profit.
The manufacturers of Calumet Bak-
ing powder have for years made a
standing offer of 100000 for any
substance injurious to health found in
food prepared from it, Food made
with Calumet Baking Powder is
entirely free from Rochelle Salts,
Lime, Alum or Ammonia.

A SHAMEFUL TRUST TRICK
10 Deceive the Public and Maintain
Their Exorbitant Prices.

A.. Their Exorbitant Prices.
An article I as recently been going
the rounds of the press, in which the
purity and value of Calumet Baking
Powder is attacked, and in which
test performed by the representatives
of the Calumet Baking Powder Com
pany is branded as "fake'' This
article appears as solid news matter,
but is, in reality, an advertisement
paid for by the baking powder trust.
This sneaking form of competition is
just what might be expected from
corporation whose principal stock
holder, the man who directeds+its pol
icy, was indicted in Missouri for the
bribery of members of the Legislature
to keep on the statute books of that
state a law giving it a monopoly of
the business of the state, and whose
so-called Legislative AGENT" D. J.
Kelley, is now fugitive from justice,
for the same offence.
Calumet Baking Powder has been
for so many years the standard of all
that is good in baking powder that it's
purity, or the fair moderrte price
asked for it, needs no defense. There
is just one fact that will bring this
point forcibly to the readers mind.
This state, in common with nearly
every other state in the Union now
has very stringent pure food law
which, in no uncertain terms, pro-
hibits the manufacture and sale of
any food substances Injurious to
health and prevents commercial fraud.
Calumet Baking Powder complies
with the pure food laws of all states.
The trust complains so bitterly
about the test performed by the repre-
sentatives of the Calumet Baking
Powder Company because it demon
strates the nature of the residue left
in food prepared with the cream of
tartar powders. This test shows with
out the use Of chemicals the enormous
| residue of Rochelle Salts, the princi-
pal Ingredient of a Seidlitz Powder,
left in food prepared with the Trust
cream of tartar powders. This is due
to the fact that a chemical reaction
takes place in the process of baking.
| When the acid and baking soda are
united by moisture and heat 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 COM
posed the baking powder before bak-
ing. Food prepared from these So
called high grade cream OF tartar
| powders does not contain any cream
of tartar, but 1t does contain a large
percentage of Rochelle Salts, which
is formed by the chemical oombina-
ton of the cream of tartar and the
soda. Every Doctor and every Drug
gist knows that cream of tartar and
baking soda united chemically become
Rochelle Salts, as stated in the

P. c. Connolly, general roadmaster of the
Willmar and Sioux Falls Division, met with
a painful accident last Friday while coming
down from Wi}lmar on speeder or a rail-
road velocipede. On reaching the Fitzpa-
trick crossing, it jumped the track due to
cattle guard being too close to the rail- Mr..
Connolly was thrown to the ground and
dragged some little distance and bad cash
in the arm and bruised shoulder caused an
excessive flow of blood. The section crew
which happened to be near came to his
assistance and brought him to town where
Phil Henk bound the arm stopping the flow
of blood, till DR.. Dawson who was out in
the country arrived. The cut in the arm
was about five inches long and very deep,
several veins being severed. The doctor
found it necessary to put in twelve stitches.
He was well enough to take the afternoon

ATWATER REPUBLICAN PRESS:


Der, of the town Of Harrison, passed to her
eternal rest, at her old home about six miles
north of the village on Friday morning at
about O'Clock. She had been ailing about
a year. The funeral was held Sunday after
noon and was largely attended. The SER
vices were conducted by Rev. F. w. Erthal
of the German Lutheran church of which
dece ased was a member.
Deceased was born in the state of Wiscon-
sin in the month of June, 1852. She grew to
womanhood there and was united in mar
riage with August Nj o11r. A few years after
her marriage the family moved to this state,
and settled on the farm north of town
where deceased had resided until within the
last two years. About seyen years after
their arrival here, Mr.. Nj ohr died, leaving
the widow and five children. all Of whom are
now living. few years latter she was
united in marriage with Fred Upheber who
survives her. TO this latter union three
children were born, all girls, and they also
survive their Mother
In the neighborhood of 1900 yards of
cement walk is the record for this village for
the present year. The walk about, and on
the school grounds forms quite portion of
the amount above named. The work has all
been done by Nelson Bros. Paving & Con-
structing company of Minneapolis, and so
far as we know their work has been entirely
satisfactory. This same company also con-
structed the foundation and basement walls
Of the new Nd ethodist church.
If any person imgines that "Jim Hill has
spoiled the town by the railroad work done
here this summer he is very much in error
In fact we believe that when the track is gray
eled and the crossings and sidewalks fixed
as they ought to be, and as they doubtless
will be. the work done will be an improve
ment to the village rather than a detriment,
and the danger of accidents at the crossings
will not be as great it was before, except
ing for the fact that the number of trains
will be larger.
The Misses Amy Anderson and Pearl
Nj almberg who attended the St. Cloud sum-
mer school have both secured schools since
their return. The former will teach an eight
months term near Priam in the western
part of the county, and the latter will teach
in district SO, in the town of Lake Elizabeth.

We notice in the supreme court decisions Of

that judgment had been reversed. This is
an aftermath Of the Kerkhoven murder case
in which G. G. Maxon lost his life. 1t
appeared that Mr.. Maxon had made appli-
cation for an insurance policy with the Pru-
Dental Insurance Company, had been
accepted as good risk, and had given his
notes as payment for the first Premium but
before the policy was received by said
M ak on he was shot and killed. The CON-
pany contested the payment OF the policy on
the grounds that the contract had not been
completed, and won their case in the lower
