Baking Economy.

By the use of perfect baking powder,
the housewife can derive as much
economy as from any other article
used in baking powder, therefore, care
should be exercised to purchase one
that retains it's original strength and
always remains the same. thus making
the food sweet and wholesome and
producing sufficient leavening gas to
make the baking light.
Very little Of this leayening gas is
produced by the cheap baking pow
ders, making it necessary to use double
the quantity ordinarily required to Sc
cure good results.
You cannot experiment every time
you make cake or biscuits, or test the
strength of your baking powder to find
out how much of 1t you should use;
yet with most baking powders you
should do this, for they are put to-
gether so carelessly they are never uni
form, the quality and strength varying
with each can purchased.
Calumet Baking Powder is made OF
chemically pure ingredients OF tested
strength. Experienced chemists put II

materials remain always the same

and is not affected by atmospheric

In using Calumet you are bound t.

1uRY IN JASPER COUNTY COURT
DECIDES NOVEL CASE AND
s.. AcoUIrs ACCUSED.
CONTEST BETWEEN PEOPLE OF
BOONE AND JASPER COUNTIES
Sunbsrs Arrested and Tried on Charge
Of Stealing !. N. Phipps's Horse
Which John Burke Swore Hs Raised
From a Colt and Sold to Sunbers-
Testimony interestingly Conflicting.

Newton, Dec. 2o.-The jury in the
sunberg horse stealing case came IN
with a verdict of not guilty, after be-
ing out but little more than three
hours. Three ballots were taken, the
first two being eleven for acquittal and
one for conviction, and the last unan-
;imous for acquittaA
Sunburg, who has appeared very cool
during the progress OF the trial, dis
played some emotion as he fastened
across the square to hear the verdict.
The son, who accompanied him, was
also considerably affected, and as they
sat in the almost empty court room
waiting for the clerk to read the fatal
document their excitement was very
evident.
= When the clerk read the verdict,
I'VE, the jury, find the defendant.
Kane Sunberg, not guilty" Sunberg
rose immediately fromb his chair and
walked towards the jury box and had
to be restrained by the court until ne
had dismissed them. AS soon as the
Jury was dismissed Sunberg and his
son thanked them feelingly, shaking
each one personally by the hand.
Case Extraordinary.
Forty residents OF Boone county
were on the stand and testify that the
horse which Sunberg. a Boone junk
dealer was alleged to have stolen last
January from N. I. Phipps was not the
property Of Phipps, but was an animal
purchased by Sunberg from John
Burke, who raised it from colt.
The case rapidly was an interesting
battle between residents of Jasper and
Boone counties. the former asserting
that Sunberg did steal Phipps' horse,
with the Boone county contingent fully
as certain that the animal was raised
in their county. was formerly the prop
erty of Burke. and was purchased
from him by Sunberg.
1t dawned upon the persons who
were closely following the testimony in
the case that, within the borders Of the
two counties of this state. there are
horses which are practically absolute
"doubles'' OF each other.
1t seems that the horse found with
Sunberg has a niche in the ieft eyelid
Phipps horse also had a niche on its
left eyehd. It has been ascertained
that Sunberg's horse has a wire mark
on it's left fore leg; also it Is declared
Phipps' animal had a wire mark on
its left fore leg.
The fact that there were so many
reputable persons willing and ready to
say the horse was raised in JASPER
county and fully as many more reputa.-
BILE persons to testify 1t was raised in
tSr OF
that there are two horses identically
alike. and that this fact brought on the
confusion.
John Burke is absolutely certain the
horse in question was at one time his
property. that he raised it from the
time 1t was a colt. He testified to this
effect when he was called as a witness
by the defense.

will not violate the constitution. hence
the act is not Illegal in any OF Its parts.
The question of the right Of the ex-
ecutive council to issue certificates,
that is. borrow money, as against pros
pectiva tax levies three to nine years
hence, was not before the court In fact.
SO that whatever was decided as to
that question was strictly superfuous.
Nobody. was interested in that question
save as q moot question for debate. be-
cause it was never contemplated that
there should be any certificates issued
of that kind, and the evidence before
al! the courts on this subject was not
even disputed.
The opinion fled. when it Is read
carefully, discloses that the court fol-
lowed the reasoning Of Attorney Cen
eral Ccsson very closely. save as to q
few matters, notably in regard to
whether the Swanson case is control
ling as to state matters as we'll as to
city matters. The court refused to
take the position the Swanson case,
which referred to the Ottumwa water
works contract. would apply. To have
done SO might have led to complica-
tons in other cases to follow - and
anyway the right conclusion was
reached by another route.
The opinion of the court illustrates
anew the fact that the Iowa supreme
court is we'll In the front Of those
courts that are putting aside the tech
nicalities OF the law and deciding mat
tiers on commonsense basis. The
Iowa court has done this good many
times in recent years. In this case the
