Adulterated powders may usually be detected by their heavier bulk, as shown by the 6mall cans, and these scantily filled, often containing a circular to help fill out the cans. It is a singular fact that many of the ammonia and alum baking powders are advertised as "Absolutely Pure," All official examinations prove that it would be safe to reject all powders labeled absolutely pure. The economy in using Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder does not consist alone in the fact that much larger and fuller cans are given, but Dr. Price's is a stronger, purer and more wholesome bak ing powder than any other known. Does better work, and goes farther, hence more economical in every way. .What woman would use axi ammonia or alum baking powder if she knew it ? Such powders not only undermine the health, but ammonia gives to the complexion a sallow acd blotched appearance. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is reported by all authorities as free, from ammonia, ; alum, lime, or any othei adulterant.

J, GHEJfEY k CO., Toledo, O. ftjSold by Druggists, 75c. In the Matter of Hops'. Thomas Oaburne, of Liudon, has been looking up bop matters in Oregon, California and Wash ington the past few weeks. Mr.. Osburne thinks Willamettee valley hop raiaars have su important advantage over the growers both of Washington and California. In the last mentioned state ' the extremely hot weather prevents the lice from doing .much damage however. But the land there is high-priced and in the Puyallup valley it is beyond the reach of stnill hop grower. ' The soil and climate of the Willamette valley is well suited to the production of hops. The area is so large that the price of land is kept within reasonable limits. Mr. Osburue is of the opinion that most of the Willamette valley hop growers do not culti vate their fields with propar caret The lack of proper care becanves evident when it comes to marketing the crop. The hops of Lane county are among the besr received in London, and it is worth while m iking the effjrt to get them. Eugene HjgUter. Livery Business Sold.

ACROSS THE DEEP, TO THE FAR WEST, On steamboats, cars and stage-coaches, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is carried as the most important item in the materia medicia of the traveling public. It deprives vitiated, brackish water ot its hurtful prop erties and execrable flavor, counteracts the pernicious effects upon the stomach of bad or indigestible food, remedies cramps, heart burn and wind upon the stomach. It is a tine defence against malarial disorders, nul lifies the th effects of excessive heat, cold and damp, relieves sick headaches, and is an incomparable cure for costiveness and bili ousness. The fatigue of travel often tells most disastrously upon invalids and conva lescents, occasionlly to such an extent as to jeopardize life. Persons in .feeble health, apprehensive of bad effects from travel, will, if provided with the Bitters, be far less likely to have their fears realized. TheNbw Officers.

Iu the annals of crime on the Pacific coast, none can surpass in brutality and re volting details the murder on June 22d, near Milwaukie, Clackamas county, of little Mamie Walsh by Charles Wilson. The deed was committed iu the country where the girl had beea picking berries and her body was mutilated and hidden in the underbrush. Tho citizens of that neigh borhood and the officers of the law made every effort to ferret out the mystery and discover the murderer. Several persons were arrested on suspicion, bnt all succeeded in establishing their innocence with the ex eeptiou of V ilson, a young . man who was employed in that vicinity. The detectives had been working on the case and' were drawing the chain of evidence closer and closer about him until last Friday, when' sufficient pressure was brought to bear on him to break down his former evidence and induce him to confess his guilt ami give a description of the manner iu which he com mitted the deed. Following is his-story as he told it to a reporter:' "I was working that Wednesday after noon, digging post-holes a short distance from my brother's house. I saw Mamie picking berries, and when she approached within a short distance of me, an uncon trollable desire to kill her overcame me. I thought how easily I could kill hep. Like a hound after a rabbit, I sprang toward her. It took iiu- just three bounds. I grasped her by tho throat before she knew my intentions. She was a pretty little thing and so innocent. She struggled hard but could make no outcry, for I ha I a firm' hold on her throat. The blood oozed from hei mouth, but that did not affect me. But how the little thing did fight. I was the stronger, however, and she soon became in sensible. I held on for awhile until I thought she was dead. I then dragged her into the brushes, and went off to see if there was anyone around who could have noticed what I had done. Satisfied that I had not been seen, I returne.I and after looking at the body I mutilated her somewhat, and after examining her to my satisfaction, began to consider what disposition I should make of the remains. While thinking I noticed the body move. I placed my hand over her heart, and found it still beating. I than covered her mouth mid nose with my hand until I knew life was extinct. Then I shouldered the body, and carried it west toward the lane. I laid it down in the brush, and went to look up and down the road. Seeing no one, I carried my burden to the fence, and in attempting to- lift it over it fell to the ground the head striking first, cutting a gash and mining a sound that caused me to child. er. This was the first and only time that repentance has come to me. Carrying the body across the lane, I dragged it underneath the barbed-wire fence. Then I took off my shoes, and pick--iog up Mamie resumed my way. I never had any experience iu carrying dead bodies, and did not know how to handle this one. She was very heavy, and several times I had to lay her down. When 1 arrived at the three stumps referred to in the Oregon ian. I was almost exhausted. I rested a while, and then threw the body over. It was terrible hard work, and 1 did not feel much like walking further. I found a fairly convenient spot, under a big stump and laid the body down. I thought then that it was not the best place, but I was too tired to go ahead. So 1 arranged the clothes nicely about her limbs, and gathering a few ferns spread them over her,' I then sat down and viewed my work. I felt that I would be found out, but did not care. I was not in the leas6sorry, in fact I don't remember now just how I did feel. B it I went' back, tp my work, an'l you- kuiw what interest I haye since taken in the case. On my return I hid the bucket, and hat Mamie had, near the trail I had followed. They were both in plain sight, and it is a wonder the search ers did not find them." "Suspiciou. pointed toward me, and I hardly knew what to do to overcome this. Sunday m rniug I heard my brother's little girl talking about the arrest of Rafes. Here a happy thought struck me. I made up my mind to strengthen the suspicion against Rafcs, I went out and found the bucket aud hat. The latter I tried to burn, but it had become wet, and after wasting several matches I buried it. I smashed the bucket with my foot and took it to Rafes' wigwam, where I hid it near his door. The hook to tha bucket 1 threw in the hollow stump. I congratulated my3clf that I had erased all traces behind me, but I was doomed to disappointment. All I caul I do to throw the officers off my trail was with out success, and at last they have struck upon the right man. Here I a:n. I cm f ess the crime and expect to die for it." Wilson was taken from tho jail at Oregon City to Portland by the officers a) the ex citement in the community ran so high when it was learned that Wilson liad con fessed the crime that it was feared he would be lynched if kept t'ure. A mob followed, however, and forawaile excitement was high around the Multnomah county j iil. The officers had taken the precaution to spirit the prisoner away so that when the mob ar rived on the scene li3 was not to be found aud they finally dispersed after searching the jail. Sheriff Kelly, of Multnomah county, an ticipating another visit from the mob and fearing that he might not be so successful in again protectina the prisoner in the event of such a call, decided to take him to the penitentiary at Sileni and a.-ordi'vly th governor's permission for snuh au aetrom sev cnrcil.
