tic services to be held in all our
schools on some day previous to Mem
orial Day, usually the Friday before.
There is no surer way Of instilling
patriotism into the minds Of the coming
generation than this, and the Depart
ment Commander directs that every
Post sees to it that comrades are de-
tailed to thus attend the school.
Elaborate orations are not to be ex-
pected or desired. TIE simple recital
of some personal experience in the war
will interest and instruct.
It has been customary to display
all flags at half mast on Memorial
Day, but at the National Encampment
held at Denver, it was suggested by, the
Committee on Rules and Regulations
that they should be thus displayed un-
til noon, and then at full mast. This
is in accord with the rule observed on
all U. S. government buildings.

strongest terms possible, each and every
of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery

catarrh of stomach, g liver complaint
torpid liver, or biliousness. chronic bowel
affections, and all catarrhal diseases of
whatever region, name or nature. tits

is not so good for acute colds and coughs,
but for lingering, or chronic cases it is
especially efficacious in producing per-
feet cures. It contains Black Cherry bark,
Mandrake root and Queens root-all of
which are highly praised as remedies for
all the above mentioned affections by such
eminent medical writer's and teachers as

The aGolden Medical Discovery is the
only medicine put up for sale through
druggists for like purposes, that has any

EVIDENCE UPON BAKING POWDER
Food that Contains Alum or an
Alum Residue is UnheaIthfuI.

Here is some interesting evidence
upon the alum baking powder subject:
Prof. A. S. Mitchell of Milwaukee,
late chemist to the Wisconsin Dairy
and Food Commission, in testifying
before the Congressional Committee,
which was collecting information to
aid in the matter Of pure food legisla-
ton, said that there was no question
but the tendency of the chemical i'm
purities which would remain in food
made with alum baking powders would
be deleterious. AS to the claim made
by the manufacturers that alum pow
ders left no alum in the food, he said
he had failed to find any such powders
which, in the ordinary process of cook
ing, would not leave some soluble
alum in the food.
Doctor Schweitzer, the accomplished
professor of chemistry at the Univer-
sity of Missouri, after a series of ex-
periments with bread raised with alum
baking powder, reported: Careful
analysis OF the bread thus prepared
shows a portion of the alum from the
baking powders remaining in the bread
as such and unaltered.''
The fact that alum if taken with food
into the stomach would be injurious is
not questioned or disputed by any one.
AS scientific evidence would seem to
prove that when food is raised with
alum baking powder some part of the
alum remains in the food, the prudent
course for the housewife is apparent.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS DAY
Day Will Lack Nothing OF It's Usual
Impressiveness.
School Children Will Take Part in
Procession and Singing.
Will be Fittingly
Carried Out.

Probably no / lace else in the state
as fttingly celebrates Memorial day
as does New Ulm. Ithas the material
to get up an excellent parade at any
time and the people Of the city are al
ways willing to take part in the exer-
cises Of the day so that the impressive
ness of the occasion is carried out to a
perfection that does not obtain in any
other city.
One complaint that has been made
every year is that the men who served
in the Spanish-American war do not
take part in the exercise or march as
a body in the parade. There are
number of them in this city and they
should be got together and take part
as it will be but few years before they
will have the burden of the care for the
graves of the soldiers Of the United
States, as the G.. A. R. men have had
for the past forty years.
The following order of Department
Commader Levi Longfellow outlines
the work as it will be undertaken in
this city:
Memorial Day, May Both, the sacred
day of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie is close at hand. Its observance is
duty laid upon our order by the
Rules and Regulations, and the De-
partment Commander therefore calls
upon every Post in the State to begin
at once preparations for its fitting OBJ
servance. It is a sacred day to every
surviving veteran Of the civil war, and
the people of this great nation are in
hearty sympathy with us in honoring
the memory Of our comrades who have
passed into the mysteries of the vast
beyond, and are ready to assist US in
properly observing the day.
They expect us, however, to lead in
its observance, and, therefore, we
should not delay to formulate our
plans.
The assistance and cooperation of
the Women's Relief Corps, the Ladies
of the G. A. r., and the Sons of Veter-
ans, should be sought for, and the
children of our schools should also be
interested, especially in procuring the
flowers necessary. Activep participation
in these Memorial Day exercises will
prove an object lesson to them which
will make them mindful of this day,
whom vrn ho1 l. - +.
beneath the soil.
Care should be taken, that the grave
OF every loyal soldier is marked with
the flag he defended with his life when
it was assaulted, and that flowers are
strewn upon it on this Memorial Day.
It is a very sweet custom to strew
flowers upon the lakes or streams in
your vicinity in memory of the sailors
whose remains were left in the waters
where they fought, and this should not
be neglected.
President Lincoln's Gettysburg ad-
dress, which has become classic in
American Literature, should be read
at every Memorial service and Post
Commanders are directed to see that
this is done.
Sunday, May 9th will be observed
as Memorial Sunday, and it is hoped
that every Post will attend divine wor-
ship in some church. Pastors of
churches will be found not only will
ing but anxious toprepare an address
appropriate to the congregation will
gladly welcome you to this service.
It has become the custom for patrio-

WILLS DO NOT SATISFY HEIRS.
Two Important Gases Before This
Term of Court.
Sperl Willto be Retired and Kuehn
Will Dissolved.
Calendar is Short But Term Prom
ises to be Quite Long.

the cases were disposed of in the usua al
manner Yesterday afternoon. The
most important cases on the calend ar
are the two will cases. The Sperl will
case that was tried sometime ago and
was carried to the supreme court on
an appeal by the parties who were at
tempting to break the will and remain
ded to this court for new trial, and
the sKuehn will that the son is attempt
ing to dissolve claiming that he was
not treated fairly for the reason that
his father was not in his right mind at
the time of his death.
These two estates are large and the
cases that have grown out Of the at
tempts to break the will are perhaps
the most celebrated Of any of the will
cases that have been tried in this court.
Both cases are being prosecuted by
Hoidale & Somsen for the plaintiffs
and will occupy a large share of the
time that will be taken up by this term
of court if they are allowed to be tried
at this time.
There are several items with which
the grand jury will have to deal, one.
of which is the Berkner case of Sleepy
Eye, who was bound over on the charge
of having unlaWfully taken money
from the cash register in the store of
Fred Seifert.

FOUR MILLION MORE.
Taxable Property in State shows Big
Increase.

AS a result of its labors during the
last two weeks. which were concluded
yesterday tn e state board of eoualiza-
ton has increased the valuation of the
taxable property in the state by more
than $4,000, 600 over the returns made
to it by the various county assessors.
The valuation as returned to the board
by the county clerks Of all the taxable
property in the state was $404, 071,692,
and this has been Increased by the
board TO $408.329,749.
The board made a careful canvass
of the value of property in each county
of the state, and has made a number of
changes in the valuations fixed by the
county assessors In some counties II
has been necessary to increase the
values fixed on both real and personal
property because these values were not
IN conformity with the values of adj
joining counties. And in other coun-
ties valuations have been reduced in
order to keep the valuation close to
that fixed by adjoining COUNTIES The
gross increase in values was SIG, 022,-
ATS and the gross decrease was ST.
764,41e.
Shawnee county received the great
est decrease in dollars and cents. The
decrease for Shawnee is $5,03s,265,
and this is the only decrease made
which was over 100000.
The eastern and western state lines
mark the extremes in the valuations OF
land. Along the eastern line the aver
age assessed value of land is So an acre
and it gradually decreases toward the
west until at the western line the aver
age assessed value is seventy-fve cents
an acre
Following is a table showing the in
creases and decreases made by the
beard and in it will be seen several
counties where no changes were made
the valuations we're left as made by
the county assessors:

whole the court quotes a codicil to
Dowie's will executed on August 5,
1905, as follows:
- The remaining nineteen-twen-
tieths Of said estate in my name which
I hold and have held in trust, In said
bequeath to my said successor in Office
to him or her and his or her successors
in Office to be administered of said
church, and the extension of Zion and
the kingdom of God in conformity
with the rule and practices of said
church. .
OF this codicil. the court says:
There is no escape from the plain
meaning of these words, the declara-
ton is unqualified and is a complete
recognition of an existing trust obliga-
ton. No specious construction could
make anything else out of 1t, and for
the court to enter a decree of private
ownership would be to perpetuate
fraud"
As to who should be receiver, the
decision says: cit is strongly insisted
by Voliva and his associates that the
defendant Granger be continued in
charge. This appointment it is as
serted, is an absolute necessity. I do
not concur in this proposition. Waiv-
ing all question as to Changers unfit
ness from the standpoint Of business
ability, some time ago, he took a view
vow in the name of God, my father,
and of Jesus Christ, his son, and my
Saviour and the Holy Ghost. that I
recognize John Alexander Dowie, gen
eral overseer in his three fold pro-
phetic office as a messenger of the
Covenant the prophet foretold by
Moses and Elijah. the restorer: and I
promise to obey all rightful orders, is
sued by him. and that all family ties
and obligations and all relations to all
human governments shall be held
subordinate to this vow. This make
IN the presence of God.
The court says of this vow.
''Tt is not my duty to express my
contempt for the man that could exa ct
or take this oath. But am not
obliged to repose my confidence in a
man so constituted that, living in this
republic. he would serenely vow his
readiness at all times to abandon his
family and betray his country. I will
not appoint Alexander Granger. And
in this onnecdon. while / make no
pretense to technical learning in re-
spect to what is good policy for this
church organization. I suggest thai
whoever ultimately prevails in ths
! ecclesiastical controversy, give promp
I and serious consid Grafton to the ques-
! ton, whether or not such an oatf
/ tends to give respeexability to this
church. and whether the church may
1 justly expect a court OF the United
states to long continue to foster Z
true estate for the use Of a religious
organization whose conscience and in
telligence does not cause an uncondi
tionaI disavowaf and abandonment q

titled to vote; the judges of election to
be named by the county court of Cook
county; the names of persons to be
voted for to be certifiedto the United
States district court within ten days.
If no more than one name shall be
certified, the court will, in dealing with
the trust estate, recognize such person
as the legally chosen general oVerseer
of the church If more than one name
is certified such persons shall have the
use Of the tabernacle at Zion City al
ternately, up to the time of election.
During the election the publication
known as Leaves of Healing" will be
suspended, but the court orders a spe-
cial edition to be gotten out at once
containing the decision of the court in
full and directs that a copy of such
publication be sent to all persons to

forwarded or delivered since March
81. 1906
The court said that he would provide
for DOWie inasmuch as the present
value of the estate far exceeds the
actual amount of contributions and
offerings a suitable provision
for Dowie, for his services as trustee.
The amount, the court said, would be
determined later.
Dowie himself said that inasmuch as
he had not had an opportunity to read
the whole decision he would not at
this time express an opinion, or say
what he should do. It was too serious
q matter for the church to reach a
conclusion without elaboration and he
would not be hasty. He refused to an
swer a question as to whether he would
take an appeal, saying that he desired
first to consult his counsel.
I'VE want peace" he said. but not
with dishonor I prefer that all state
ments should come from my counsel. -

SUpREME
CONTEMpTl

This store management desires to
express in plain and unvarnished
language its supreme contempt for
the methods used. or said to be
used, by certain stores in Topeka,
by certain men who claim to be
honorable merchants. It has
reached us SO often lately that we
have decided not to refrain from
speaking out plainly. It is this:
Being unable to meet the prices
this store makes on good, clean,
honest merchan disc, certain OF
these merchants make the state
ment and reiterate it from day to
day to people who trade at this
store. that the Jones store carries
nothing but trash; that the Jones
store is located in Topeka wholly
and solely TO sell the rejected
goods that come to it from the
Kansas City store"
For the sake of common honesty
and common decency we are con-
strained to pay attention to this
contemplate method which is pur-
sued by so-called honorable mer-
chants
Now as to the facts The Jones
store is known to have made the
greatest growth, the most substan-
tiaI expansion in its business in the
past ten years perhaps of any
store in the United States. 1t is
one of the largest, if not the larg-
est store in Kansas City. and has
only been in Kansas City ten years.
It's buyers invade practically every
market in Europe and every mar
ket of the United States. These
buyers pay cash for its merchan-
disc. They would lose their Jobs
in minute If they bought mer-
chandise that was not desirable.
The men who are at the head of
the Jones store are men who Ger
tainiy know enough to not pay
money for merchandise that the
people do not want. If such mer-
chandise is not bought for the
Kansas City store it is certainly not
bought for the Topeka store. De-
partment buyers of the Topeka
store go to Kansas City and take
the cream of the best merchan disc
that comes to the Kansas City
store from the buying efforts of
every buyer in Europe and from
all parts of the United States.
Nothing more ridiculous could be
conceived Of than for the managers
or the proprietors of this Jones
store to think of shoodwinking the
people OF Topeka and the sur
rounding country. There Is no
more intelligent class of shoppers or
of men and women anywhere in the
United States than those inhabifing
Topeka and the country round
about. The owners of this store
are Kansans. They know what
kind Of people they are dealing
with when they deal with the peo-
pie of Topeka and the surrounding
country.
In the first place we do not buy
undesirable goods we have no
use for them. We buy only the
goods we know the people are de-
lighted to buy from us
In the second place. If there is
for any reason merchandise sold in
the. Topeka store to any customer
whatsoever that is not satisfactory.
that customer is told, and told re-
peatedly, toabring it back and get
the cash for It.
It seems silly really to pay anv
attention to this rumor but It is
being worked so religiously and
persistently that we feel it due our
friends to make an explanation. We
can only express our contempt for
such methods.
