Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is often called the
Good-Luck Baking Powder.
Owing to the fact that good luck always attends the
use of Dr. Price's, it is not essential to use it the moment
it is mixed nor is it required to have the oven always just
so, as in the case with ammonia or alum powders. It is not
luck after all, but the exact accuracy and care exercised in
the preparation and combination of all the ingredients of
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder. Competent chemists
are employed to test the strength
ingredient. Nothing is trusted to
always uniform in its work.
House wives never fail to have "good luck" in
ing most delicious bread, biscuit, pastry and cakes
'remain moist and sweet. Only Baking Powder that
tains the white of eggs.

Oakland, Cal. Aug. 4. R. S
Calvin w as shot and fatally wound
ed last night by John G. Howell,
former newspaper proprietor.
Calvin, w ho is the editor of a small
weekly paper, was in love with
Howell's daughter, and it is re
ported they were at one time en
gaged, but the engagement wat
broken. hince ttien t.alvin, it is
stated, has been forcing his atten
tions on the young lady. Calvin
and a friend met Howell on the
street last evening and the three
went to a room in the Mlcox
block to talk over the matter.
Calvin, in his ante-mortem state
ment, says Howell suddenly or
dered him to throw up his bands
and began firing. The lat er was
arrested, but declines to talk.
Calvin passed a comiortabie
night under the influence of
Tbe-ru at a possibility ne

may recover. The hemorrhage is
very slight. He is in no condition
to make any statement this morn
ing. No charge has been made
against Howell. He is perfectly
cool and deems be is justified in
his action last night. Calvin, a
few days ago in speaking to a re
porter, said he met Miss Howell at
a church fair and became infat
uated. He talked incoherently
about her, saying he wanted to(
see her and make an explanation.
All bis friends believe bis mind is
atfected by bis infatuation for the
young lady, who never encouraged
him. Some time ago Howell was
considering attempting to send
Calvin to the asylum, but gsve it
up because no evidence could be
obtained. Caivia was dangerous
to be at large. Mies Howell knew
nothing of her father's intention
till he had shot Calvin. She bear
the highest reputation, and is s
well-known teacher in the Frank
tin school.

A KIND-HE A KTBD BARTENDER
He Saved Small Boys From Kola
by Salting Their Whisky.
. "l UBed to be a barkeeper in
my younger days," said a gray
haired vender on Twelth street last
night. "About thirty-five years
ago I was head clerk in a large
general store employing twenty
clerks in a small town. In those
days every store had its bar and
every merchant was a saloon
keeper. Besides selling hot whisky
we also sold hot oysters over the
bar, and had a big bowl of salt
down behind the counter for
oysters and a similar bowl of
sugar for whisky. When a man
bought oysters we set out the
salt and when he bought whisky
we set out the sugar.
"One day the bowls got changed
from their usual positions and by
mistake I set out the salt for a
man who had bought a drink
The salt in the liquor made him
sick. No one not even myself.
could tell what caused it, but after
a while i guessed the reason and
tested it by trying it on others.
It worked like a charm7 ana: there
after when a young boy came in
who was just taking his first drinks
and learning what he thought
'manliness, 1 always set out the
salt bowl and niide him sick
I knew of a good many young men
that 1 saveu from ruin in this way,
I guess 1 was the only prohibition
barkeeper in town, and certainly
the only one who ever taught
temperance frm bsmnd the bar
by making men sweeten their
drinks with salt instead of sugar.
"1 always felt guilty in belling
liquor, anil got out of it ve: v soon.
One morning a man came in with
enough already aboard to make
turn feel good, bought several
drinks, went home to dinner
drunk, had some words with his
wife and mashed her skull with
an ax, within three hours alter I
bad sold him the stutl. I don t
know what part of that murder I
will have to answer for iii the

Oranok, Tex., Aug. 4. Belder
Sanders, who has just returned
from Lake Charles, La., confirms
the report of a riot at Lockmoore
A Co.'s railroad. The last account
he heard was from a wounded man
who left the scene at 4 o'clock yes-
tarday. He stated that fourteen
men were killed and two were
mining. It was a free-for-all fight
between the "Ked l'onee," and
Whites." Sanders stated that
many different reports are being
circulated, and nothing more au
thentic could be learned. Latest
reports place the number of
wounded at eixteeu. Officers and
physicians were waylaid and mur
dered. Another account of the
riot comes from Westlake, La., to
the effect that the trouble was
caused by the breaking out of an
old feud etween a baud of robbers
known as the Ainswortb gang and
the cattlemen of that section.
The following is a partial list of
tkose killed: Dyson, Marion,
Markle, Lee Perkins, Owen Ash

James Ward and Bwan, of the
cattlemen. The latest report is to
the effect that everything is quiet.

THE BOYS IN BLUE
The Twenty-Fifth Annual En
campment of the G, A. R.
MONSTER
PROCESSION
Over 40,000 Veterans and Twaut j-EIkt
Bands in Line-It Wu a
Hot Sty.
Detroit, Aug. 4. The opening
day of the twenty-flftb annual en
camDment marks tne Quarter
century in the growth oftnTo:
ization, and eyery soldier realizes
that it must also mark the apex in
in the prosperity of that great or
der. It has been tne desire of all
prominent leaders of the organiza
tion that the twenty-fifth encamp
ment sncuid be tne most success
ful in the history of the G. A. R,
and the parade the most magnifi
cent ever known.
Forty-two thousand men and
one hundred and twenty-eight
bands were in line. Ihe large city
hall grand stand was a quarter full
hen the Buffalo Veterans march
ed up, comical Uncle Sam headed
the ranks followed by nfeis in yel
low linen continental garb, and
color bearers carrying a dozen old
battle nags. Cheer after cheer
echoed as they passed and in like
manner were they honored by the
isavies. "
Tiie crowd was tremendous, and
that does not half express it. Not
enly boys climbed trees to get a
better view of the festivities, but
grown men and grey bearded
fathers swung themselves into the
branches and peered down with as
much eagerness and as little dig
nity as any of the rising gener
ation. Just as the spectators be
gan to wonder if the parade was
going to be late, the front of the
famous old Thomas post of Chicago
appeared in the distance giving
the signal for a roar of greeting
from the excited crowd that was
drowned by the noisy bands for
the time beiDg. One old soldier
who persisted in carrying an open
umbrella to protect him from
the hot descending rays of the sun
was made the butt of sundry
humorous remarks. The parade
started exactly on time and moved
without a break over the pre'
scribed route. Arriving at the re
viewing stand in the Campus liar
tins. Commander-in Chief V'eaeey
dismounted and t-enior vice-Com
mander Irwin led the column of
nearli 40,000 over the remainder
of the route. The parade con
sumed six hours.
Twenty-eight hundred veterans
from Indiana were greeted witn
cheers. Following their orders
were divisions from Colorado,
Wyoming, Kansas, Delaware, Min
nesota, Missouri, Oregon, West
lrginia, South Dakota, W ashing'
ton, Idaho, Alabama, Alaska,
Arkansas, Montana, and Texas.

TIIK COLOR LINE,
There is a eerious dispute which
threatens the serenity of the sil-
er encampment of the j. A. It. in
the "color question." Colonel
Hedges, commander of the depart
inent of Louisiana and Mississippi,
said to-day : " Unless the thing is
straightened up during this en
campment there won't be a white
member of the G. K. K. south of
the Ohio or the Potomac a year
hence.
HOW CHILI'S SHIPS BSCAPED.
There Will be a Reckoning- for
Franoe and England.
London, Aug. The secretary of
the Chilian legation is authority
for the statement that large sums
of money have been contributed
by interested Europeans to detain
and, if possible, to destroy the new
Chilian ships of war. The oppo
sition shown to permitting the
ironclads to obtain crews is known,
the secretary says, to have been
inspired from London ; but a few
weeks ago a collection was taken
up among the leading firms friend
ly to the insurgents, ostensibly to
use in providing for sick and in
jmed foreigners in Chili, but re
ally the object being to purchase
the favor of those who might be in
a position to assist the insurgents
and damage Balmaceda. In Lisbon
the money plan was more influen
tial than in Paris. The Portuguese
ofkeers were hungry for bribes and
accepted with voracity the sums
offered. When one of the new
Chilian ironclads appeared in the
harbor of Lisbon, the rortuguese
officials tried to earn the bribes
they bad received by refusing the
vessel a permit to obtain recruits.
The vessel managed, however, to
get recruits, and is now safely on
her way to Ameiica. The Chilian
legations, both in London and
fans, are highly indignant over
the treatment that Balmaceda has
received in this matter at the
hands of the European govern
nients, and they predict that when
the war is over, with Balmaceda
triumphant, there will be a reck
oning for France and England.
New York, Aug. 4. A special
from Lima. Peru, says : Immense
excitement has been created in
diplomatic circles here by a fierce
personal encounter between the
representative of the Chilian rev
olutionary party and military at
tache oi the unman government
legation. From all accounts the
attacking party was the attache
and the assault is said to bave

the affair and will insist upon sat
isfaction. The affair is looked upon

V
Portland. Aug. 4. Dr. J. R.
Bailey, a pioneer resident of Ya-
quina, in an interview published
in the lelegram this evening, says:
.there has been a great deal of
improvement on aquina bay
within the last two years, though
the general depression in prices
and scarcity of money has not al
lowed us to boom any. Still values
of real estate have gradually in
creased, and a number of new
buildings bave gone up.
"The government has had a tug
there twice surveying the bar,
and, I understand, has made a re
port. The Oregon Pacific tug,
which knows the bay and bar thor
oughly, finds about seveu feet
more water over the bar than the
government tug did, which is in
official charge of Captain Symons.
"The government vessel survey
ed the bar in this way : It went
across from one side to the other,
till it got into shallow water six '
or seven feet taking soundings all
along, and then made up the depth
by taking an average of all these
soundings.
The captain of the Manzanita
came there the day before I left,
and reported better and deeper
water than ever before eighteen
feet over the bar. The government
surveying tug the same day, with
in an hour of the same time, re
ported only twelve feet. The cap
tain in charge of the work on the
jetty-work says the water is better
than ever before ; it has been im
proved to the extent of three feet
in depth by the work done within
the last six months. Vessels com
ing in report four or five feet more
water than the government engi
neers report.
The Telegram adds editorially:
It Eeems that Yaquina harbor is
also a victim of Captain Symons'
alleged investigations, although
we have not read his report vet.
It will piobably be that the har
bor is unnavigable, and improve
ments thereon might as well stop.
