IT FAV0RS
THE HOME
COMMITTEE OF STATE Fedora.
TON OF WoMAN's CLUB
MAKES REPORT.
Suggests That Association for Estab.
lishment of Home for Aged Women
In wyoming Be Incorporated and
Ten Thousand Dollars in Shares of
Company Be Disposed of.

AT the meeting last fall of the Wyo-
ming State Federation of Woman's
club, held at Sheridan, the question of
"a Home for Aged Women was much
discussed, says the Cheyenne Tribune.
A committee composed of Mrs. Mary
G. Bellamy of Laramie, Mrs. Jennie E.
|Tidball of Sheridan and Mrs. Robert
|LaFontaine of Cheyenne was appoint
ed to investigate the matter. This com
mittee has reported to the president,
Mrs. Frank Shiek of Wheatland, and
fnds that in establishing and manag-
ing such a home, it would be necessary
for the club to incorporate, in one of
the two methods provided by the state.
The committee recommends hat the
state federation incorporate with a cap
ital stock of $4,000, embracing 1000
shares of a par value of $40 each, and
that 500 shares be sold to club mem
.bers at So a share If bought before the
next annual meeting. The object of
this suggestion is to place the control
in the federation, to show the good
faith of the women in the undertaking
and give the club $1,000 of immediate
resources.
The president, Mrs. Shiek, has adyis.
ed the various women's clubs that Big
Horn county has already offered a site
and that by the time the money is
available for building no doubt there
will be other offers to choose from. This
Home for Aged Women would not be
in the nature of a county poor house,
but similar to such homes in other
states, where any refined aged I'M
might feel free to go. AS there are a
large number of women's clubs in wy
oming and the president. Mrs. Shiek,
is quite enthusiastic over the PROPOSE
ton, it is quite probable the project
will be carried through to a successful
conclusion.

AN ANALYSIS
MADE HERE
CHOCOLATE CAKES FOUND TO
CONTAIN LARGE AMOUNT OF
uhoIeEsTIeLE PARAFFlN.
State Chemist Knight and Pure Food
Commissioner Burke Exhibit Speci-
mems That Tend to open Eyes to
Adulteration of Food-New York
Commissioner Makes Statement.

A few days ago State Pure Food and
Oil Commissioner e. w. Burke exhib.
tied the result of some tests made up,
on chocolate cakes sold in the grocery
stores and claimed to have peer made
by a prominent mo~nufactory of cakes
and food products, which were found
to contain large amounts of parafin.
The analysis was made by Prof. H. G.
Knight, the state chemist, and sam.
PIES of the parafin given to Mr.. Burke.
The following from a Chicago dispatch
will add interest to the matter:
Parafin, producing appendicitis and
all sorts of stomach disorders, espec-
tally in the cases of women, children
and persons of weak constitution, has
been used in small round chocolate
cream cakes, to give the chocolate
cream a consistency which will not be
affected by the heat.
Frederick L, Krake, assistant com
missioner of agriculture of New York,
who is here to attend the National Dai-
ry and Food show, brought six of these
cakes with him. The cakes contained
f%orty-nine grains of parafin, an aver
age of 8 1-6 grams to each of the small,
innocent-appearing cakes.
The analysis was made by j. F.
Geisher, the state analyst of New York.
The cakes are made by a bakery firm
of national reputation, which has ex-
tensively advertised the purity of its
products.
The cakes brought here by Mr.. Krake
will be exhibited today. With them is
the glass tube showing the parafin TAX
en- from them by the analyst. Each
contained a portion of that sub
stance about the size of a scent coin

ROBBERY THE MOTIVE.
Money and JeweIry Belonging to Miss
Ellison Found in Riggs Effects.

Minneapolis, Mimi. July 13-The
motive for the National hotel murder
of last Tuesday was fully explained
today when the safety deposit box of
the railroad conductor, ii. NJ. RIGGS,
was opened In it We're found the two
$1,000 bills which Miss Ellison was
known TO have drawn from the Nation
al Bank Of Commerce on the day she
was slain by Riggs. The bills We're
identified by the bank teller who had
paid them out. In addition to the
money was a gold ring which Riggs
had torn from the hand of his victim
and a watch she is known TO have
worn.
Inasmuch as Riggs was last seen at
the safety deposit vaults on the aftel-
noon of the murder, ii is now certain
that he hurried there after having
killed Miss Ellison in her room at the
National hotel Thence he proceeded
to his house, where he spent part Of
the afternoon, coming down town in
time to take out his train for Elroy,
Wis. where ne committed suicide after
being arrested.

A CASE OF JEALOUSY,

Killed, Including Intended Victim.

Chicago, July 13.-Three men were
blown to pieces, three others ia
tally injured and several Others
badly hurt by an explosion which early
Friday wrecked Il shanty in the Nc
Laughln stone quarries at BellwoOd
a short distance northwest of Chicago
There is evidence that the explosion
was the result of q plot. The dynamite
shed of the quarry which is at a con-
siderable distance from the shanty
which was blown up was broken open
and the dynamite carried to the build
ing in which Il number of laborerS

that there was no dynamite around
their shanty when they retired for the
night. All Of the men killed and in

Late i'll the day the police received
information that led them TO believe
that the dynamite might have been
placed under the building at the in

of one of the men who was killed. 1t
is known that they quarrelled the day
before the explosion and that she
threatened him.

New York, July l3-R. G. Dim G.
Cos. weekly review of trade. tomorrow
will say:
midsummer quiet conditions are more
in evidence than at any previous time
this season. although trade continues
far in excess of earlier years, and prep
arations for fall and winter are UNI
abated. Confidence is the commercial
sentiment introduced by exceptionally
favorable crop reports and the absence
OF any distinctly adverse factor. All
New England textile mills have re-
stored wage scales to the top point and
one prominent concern has volunteer
ed Il further advance to Il new high
nigh record
Many iron furnaces and steel mills
have resumed after a brief season of
idleness for repairing inventories and
settlement of wage scales, 50 that the
production is once more very heavy.
Textile manufacturing conditions are
not materially altered. Primary mar
lets for cotton goods have been con-
tinued quiet, buyers exhibiting IL little
more interest as stocks become depict
ed but thus far the actual volume of
new business is insignificant.
Packers are seeking quotations and
shopping for bargains at less than the
recent fractional concessions and there
is increased evidence that orders Will
soon be placed. A little Improvement
is noted in the export divisions. inquiry
from China for lightweight cottons re-
SultinG in small contracts and the
steadinesS of the raw material has
done much to prevent further declines
in goods. There is Il distinctly better
undertOne, the growth in confidence
being attributed to brighter crop pros
poets. Many looms formerly operated
on heavy brown goods have been di-
verted to lighter weights, which helps
to maintain the equilibrium. Further
progress has been made in opening new
lines OF wooden goods, medium and bet
ter grades appearing this week, but
business is confined chiefly TO the
cheaper lines that were first introduced.
Fancy Worsteds will not be opened I'M
ii! about the end of the month.
Several further fractional gains in
prices of hides place the general level
of the mar Iet above all recollections
of men now in the business. Leather
has not followed the advance in hides

pated as that section of the market is
relatively lower than other divisions.

year ago.
Bradstreets state of trade tomorrow
will say:
Canadian trade is relatively most ac-
tive in the newer provinces, where good
grain crop prospects, large immigration
and active building are features In the
Eastern provinces the features are the
heavy export demand for dairy pro-
ducts and the gain in orders for fan
drygoods and hardware over Il year
