The name was familiar and late that night it was learned that Juan Portugal who had formerly lived at Prescott and Wickenburg had died here about three months ago.
 Of his nationality nothing was known except that he was not a Mex ican. It had been surmised from his name that he was a Portuguese. He left son whose whereabouts are not known and neither is his name dis tinctly remembered though it is thought that it is Jose. The elder Portugal was a noted monte dealer and faro dealer in his day

THROWN FROM SEAT
IN A COLLISION
Ernest A. GeOrgi of South Rock Is
land Is Injured When Car Crash
ed Into His Wagon.

Ernest A. Georgi, young garden
serious accident this afternoon about
2 O'Clock while driving a team on
Nineteenth street. When he emerg-
ed from the alley on Nineteenth
street between Third and Fourth
avenues, an Elm street car was rapid
ly approaching from the south but
he either did not see it or else
thought that he could cross ahead OF
his horses. The wagon was about
half way across the tracks when ii
was struck by the car. Georgi was
thrown headlong from the seat and
struck the pavement on his head. The
fall rendered him unconscious and he
was picked up few minutes later
and carried into the Office of ply
stefan nearby and the ambulance was
called at once. He was removed to
ST. Anthony's hospital, where it was
found that his injuries are not likely
to result more seriously than to lay
him up for a time. MotormaD George
e. Young, who was in charge of the
care succeeded in getting it stopped
to a considerable extent before the
crash came and the wagon was not
damaged greatly. The fender of the
car was badly twisted but was other
wise unchanged by the collision.

The Difference.

What is the difference between high
grade and low grade baking powders
All baking powders are white and
are sold in round cans with bright la
bells. They look alike. but in contents
they are very different.
High grade baking powders are made
of pure cream of tartar derived from
grapes. They are healthful and eco
nomical to use.
Low grade baking powders are made
Of alum. an astringent mineral acid.
Before the pure food law only {
chemist could tell by analysis one from
the other.
But now baking powders have the
ingredients printed on the back of the
label. By reading the label the house
keeper knows the ingredients, and be
ing careful of the welfare of her house
hold, avoids the alum kind of bakins
powder
Good baking powder is one of the
most useful things in the Kitchen
and there is a difference.

The case of Fielder Derrinser who
is claimed by Dubuque but who has
nevertheless been signed by Hartford
Conn, is one of general interest at
the present time as it deals with cir
cumstances which are constantly arts

was with Dubuque in 1907 but last
year he failed to sign a contract and
did not report. Instead he played in
dependent bali. Dubuque carried him
on the reserve list, however III spite

1901 without having signed contra Fl
