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 and purity of each ingredient. Nothing is trusted to chance. Hence; it is always uniform in its work. House wives never fail to have "good luck" in mak ing most delicious bread, biscuit, pastry and cakes that remain moist and sweet. Only Baking Powder that con tains the white of eggs. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is re ' ported by all authorities as free from Ammonia, Alum, or any other adulterant. In fact, the purity of this ideal powder has never been ques- tioned.

FKE1UUT ON PACKAGES. A Daalslua Which May Hara Iaa psrtant CoBsaqaenaes. CnrcA-jo, August 7, Several months ago, in a suit brought by I'roctor & Gamble against a large number of railroads, the inter state commerce commission de cided that railroad companies must carry freight at its actual weight without charging for the boxes or packages in which it is put np for shipment. At the time it was pointed out that shippers of other articles might with equal right demand that they also be given the benefit of net weights. The first demand of this character has been made. The manufactur ers of gunpowder are insisting that their freight Bball be charged for at only net weight. Incase the railroads refuse the demand the matter will probably be taken before the interstate commerce commission, and all classes of trade will iollow the demand of the powder shippers.

It may also be said that these changes are not always for the better, but often bring retrogression and decay ; and this is particularly true of the circus of to-day. In fact since the great ring-master, death, gave Adam Forepaugh his final cue, it may be remarked that but one really great and legitimate circus remains, that of Bells Brothers, which is to exhibit at Albany, on Wednesday, Aug. 19, 1891. Th. onlv other tented enterprU which can claim to rival it has started out on the questionable , lecherous and nude mission ol "revolutionizing the show busi ness," and has succee Jed, at least to the extent of substituting horse ballet for the intrepid and grace ful equestrian and gymnastic per formances which the public will always admire.

Captartog- Countarfsltsrs. Grants Pass Courier: Alonzo Nutt and Henry, his son, were ar rested last Saturday by Cap Sheriff Moss at the instance ot u. H Marshal Kyie of Ashland, for inak ing and having in their possession counienen coins, mt. mocb wok young Nutt up to Ashland and brought him back on Saturday evening, and father and eon were both put into the county jail here. Two others were arrested in Ashland, whose names are . R. Coon, and Fay Coon, but these two young men escaped sunaay night. It is generally, supposed that the Coon brothers are the ringleaders in the counterfeiting business and that the Nutt family have been led into the trouble through ignorance of the risk they were running. Sheriff Moss, accompanied by young Nutt, went out on Sunday to a point at the foot of Hayet hill, about eighteen miles from this city and dug up a lot of dies and material used in making a very poor comnterfeit $5 piece of 1881. A lot of stuff supposed to he babit metal lies in the express office here, directed to Younr Nutt. C. O. D.. with $20 charges on it. Alonze Nutt save that the Coon boys came to his house some three months ago and engaged board; that he knaw nothing of their counterfeiting business, and that his complicity in the matter is due to spite work on the part of the Coons, in con sequence of having been rebuffed by one of Mutt's daughters. oung Nutt, howevr, has been led into the very depths of the bogus money manufacturing, and the stuff has been found in his possession. UOLI) LEAVINGS. A rortuao Scrapad 0" a Hoof Naar a Mint. Three thousand dollars for an old tin roof would be a pretty stesp price, but the mxn who gets the battered roof from the old Tabernacle Church at Broad street and South Penn square, which is now being torn away, for that sum will be in great luck. Some years ago the paint was scraped off the old rof and yield ed $5000 iu fine gold. It is almost as certain to yield as much this time. The gold comes trem the mint. When eold is being coined a considerable quantity of it vol- atalizes with the smoke through the chimney, and as soon as it strikes the air it falls. " Much of it strikes the roof of the mint ; so much of it that the officials save oven the water that fal's upon it during a shower. All the drains from the roof are connected wuh large vats in the cellar cf the Mint. Before the water hnailv gets into the sewer it n strained through many blankets and sieves, which retain the gold. Notwithstanding all these pre cautions, the gold that is annually washed into the Delaware lrom the Mint is worth thousands of dollars. Every particle of dirt swept up about the Mint is care fully stored away witn the wash ings from the roof, and once every year it is sold to the highest bid der, aa it cannot be used at the Mint. Philadelphia Kecord. Losing Caste. Oregon has heretofore been, con sidered free from electrical dis plays of all kinds from the clouds, and especially any that brought danger with them. But that he me must be abandoned in a measure at least. The recent display of the artillery of the skies suggests that even in the Wil liamette valley the thunders may roll and the lightnings flash. Take for instance the displays at Salem during the last storms. The Journal says: "At about the third clap of thunder at 4 p. m. a bolt struck in tha vicinity ot the Capital engine house. No ono was in the building but Capt. Price who saw a flash in the engine house that made all light as only an electric light can, and a report 'ike a musket was teard. the round was loud enough to be heard n Commercial street and over on lieb. The flash burned out all the electrical connections and magnets except the fire alarms from the woolen mills and canning wors. lbe hash turned the horses loose and set all alaams and gongs going. The blaze seem ed to cover the off horse and both animals were plunging about like mad. It was two hours be fore the animals could be coaxed into their stalls. Engineer Walt Holman has a good job restoring the circuits. Quite a large crowd assembled immediatlv after the electric explosin, which was one of the events of the storm." AgalBtt tlio Louisiana Lottery. Nkw Orleans, August 7. The conference between the farmers' alliance and the an'i-lottcry dem ocrats at Lafayette has resulted in an agreement by which a joint ticket will be nominated. The farmers' alliance will name the governor, treasurer and superin tendent of public education, and the anti-lottery league the lieuten ant governor, auditor, attorney general and secretary cf state. These nominations are to bo made by a convention elected by all who were opposed to the lottery and afterwards submitted to the demo cratic state convention. The alli ance indorsed this agreement and at once nominated T. S. Adams president and state commissioner of agriculture. The campaign will be made almost altogether on the lottery clause. Prlco afaf ar liaised. Philadelphia, Aug. 7. Ciaus Sprockets to-day raised the price of granulated sugar to the old fig ure, 4 1-16 cents, after having the market all his own way for two days and unloading, as the brokers think, about 150,000 barrels of his surplus stock. The activity in duced by the cut showed a percep itable falling off when the price was raised, but the market was strong, and at one time it was pre dicted that sugar might go up to 4 cents. The advance to the old figure has effectually silenced all rnaaors of a combination with the New York trust, and it is now ac cepted that the cut was made solely on account of the overproduction. ATROCIOUS CRIMES. "Jack the Ripper", is Again at Work. AX AOID LADT SLASHED, No Clse to tha Aiitaiia-H Was s Tall, Btout Maa-Thi Victim Will Dls. London, August 7. A mysteri ous crime which came to light to day has created widespread excitement. One occurred in the Whitechapel district and its gen eral similarity to "Jack the Ripper's" crime, coupled with the locality, have revived all the ter ror connected with the former butcheries. In this instance the victim was a respectable woman named Catherine Wolder, seventy years old, who was attacked late last night while walking in Cannon street, St. George. The assailant was a t-11, stout man, apparently about 30 years of age. He aaHaulted her most vigorously with a knife, cutting her throat and slashing her arms, which she raised to defend herself, in a frightful manner. The man, ter rified perb ips by her cries, or de terred by her strong resistance, then escaimd, leaving the unfortu nate woman in the roadway. She was removed to a hospital where, it was said, she would scarcely survive her injuries. Another crime occurred on a railway train. When tie train from ieeds arrived at Bedford this morning the railway guards were horrified at the discovery in a first-class carriage of a young woman who was shot in the lett breast. She was still alive but was unable to give an account, owing to her weakness, or give any explanation concerning the tragedy. 1 he revolver with which she had evidently been shot was not found, but a bloody razor was discovered lying on the floor of the compartment. The whole affair is wrapped in absolute mys tery, and should the victim die belore she is able to furnish a clue it will be extremely difficult to trace the assailant. DISGRACEFUL SCANDAL. It Leads to a Vlgllsata'a Visit aad a Divorce. Bavhgad, N. J., Aug. 7. The people here eageily discussed the facte yesterday connected with the punishment of John Clayton by vigilantes, because he had been to j friendly with the pretty young wife of John Parker, who lives across Barnegatehy, on Metede conk point. Clayton was ducked in the bay and flogged and then Mrs. Parker and Clayton disap peared. It was rumored that the couple bad gone away together. Ihev started in a carriage in the direction of Hightstown early last evening. Clayton came originally from Hightstown. Mr. farker has gone back to his home on Metedeconk Point. He has secur ed the services of one of the well known lawyers of Tom's Piver and instructed to institute proceedings for an absolute divorce. Mrs, Par ker is an unusually pretty woman aad Clayton, who is nearly ten years her junior, became deeply infatuated with her the hrst time he saw her, about a month ago, when he came bete to spend the summer. The couple were to gether day and night, and two weeeks aco Parker drove his wue out of his bouse, and closed it ap. Mrs. Parker and Clayton have since, it is alleged, been together on yachts in the bay, and in cot tages not occupied by their owners. Their actions led to the punish ment inflicted on Clayton by the gang of vigilantes organized by the villagers and summer cottagers. STRICKEN WITH POVEBTT.

Owing to their inability to obtain lower rates on freight to the East, the dried fruit men, produce men and canned goods men are forming a merchant s popular demonstration club, the object of which will be to hold popular meetings throughout the state to protest against dis crimination, and take combined action tending to secure rates pro portionately as low as those given to fruit men and others in the East. The movement is decidedly due to the failure of the potato men to get a 60 cent rate, or a 30 cent re duction on potatoes to points west of the Missouri river. A ralqao Wadding; Gift.

However, the storm only covered a very small section of country, and the damage war not great. MoTsmants of Oar Navy. Washington, Aug. 7. It was stated at the navy department to day that the Charleston, which ar rived at San Francisco yesterday. would be sent without delay to Honolulu. There is at present no American war vessel at that point, and it is thought that this country should be represented there above almost any other country on the western continent, and the Charl eston will, therefore.be dispatched without delay. Tie officers ol the Kanger wno have not served the required time at sea will be transferred, for the present, to the Independence and Disced on waiting orders to afford an opportunity to put the former ship out of commission at Mare Island navy yard.wnilnepairs are made. The vessel will receive a general overhaaling, particularly her boilers. Killed HI Wife and Brother. St. Louis. Ane. 7.

Another result of the recent earthquakes was the renewed activity of volcanoes. The Bl( Steamship Scheme, Chicago, August 7.
