Faurta stnets. rain Repaiiw The machinery of the law has not been put to work too speedily against the fraudulent use of ammonia and alum in Baking Powders. Both health and the pocket of the people are demanding protection. The legislatures of New York, Illinois and Minnesota have taken this matter of adulteration up, and especially that of Baking Powders. It will be in the interest of public health when their sale is made a misdemeanor in every State in the UNION, and the penalties of the law are rigidly enforced. There is no article of human food more wickedly adulterated than that of Baking Powder. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is the only pure cream of tartar powder having a general sale that is free from ammonia, alum or taint of any kind of impurity. " It makes the sweetest and lightest bread, biscuit and cake that are perfectly digestible whether hot or cold. It costs more to manufacture Dr. Price's than any other baking powder. It is superior to every other known and tUe standard for forty years. 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. Notice to.

It was the oddest one of the big gest poker games ever played. It was early in the fall last year when four big ranchmen who owned between them thousands of acres and ten of thousands of cattle in Texas met at the terminus of the Iron Mountain road. tIipv ware bound tor Chicago. n-Vora flipv intended to Bell then cattle, and as the wealthiest of th great Soutnwesi oixen ao, iu. perferred to make the journey in the caboose of a stock train. The value of the clips was stated in unusual terms, a white standing for a steer, a red chip for five Bteers and a blue for ten steers. From Texarkana to St. I-ouiB the players, luck was about even, although 100 hands were played in that time. ui wnen iuej struck the Alton and enttred the homestretch for Chicago the con- lul orour fiercer, and at about every third hand the betting ran high. Luck turned in one oi the players' favor the man who had least rocks, by the way and when the multiplying lights on the nrairie showed that the train was nearing Chicago the game ended -The other three men had lost every chip they had, had borrow ed again and again with the same result. And when the winner counted up he found he had won 40,000 head of cattle belonging to the other three men in the game, or in dollars cIobo upon $250,000. Aa Italian Queen Baa. O. II.

' Making- Kaln to Order. A dispatch from Midland, Texas, cava that tha United States De partment of Agricnlture rainfall expedition has so far made two successful experiments. One of t bo nnrte in an interview Said to day : "On Saturday and Monday a preliminary trial oi pari oi ine rain-makiDg apparatus was had and about ten hours after the ex plosion heavy clouds ga'herea and rain fell over many miles of surface. We do not think that the explosions actually produced the storm, but they were undoubtedly instrumental in precipita'ing the moisture which the clouds brought to that locality and greatly increas ed ' the intensity of the storm. i ne amount ot precipitation was greatest in the vicinity of the op eration. We will continue to make tests as to the density of the atmosphere, so the bombs may be adapted to meet every possible condition. When sufiicently sat isf. ctory upon these and similar points a decisive experiment will be made." The rain to day was the first good rain in this vicinity for several months. TUB WAR IN CHILE. Comer Reports Denied The Tree Status or the Case. London, Aug. 14. Cable dis patches from Balmacedan sources in Santiago de Chile have been re ceived here denying the reports that fighting had taken place be tween the government troops and the insurgent forces at Valparaiso and Coquimbo. August o I, accoid- mg to these dispatches, the gov ernment torpedo boat Almirante Coidell attacked the congressional party s cruiser Esmeralda and a number of transports at Caldera. A number of torpedoes were dis charged from the Almirante Con dell, but as the attack was made at night, and as it was very dark, the results were not known. None of the rebel vessels have since been seen near the provinces held by President Balmaceda. The dis patches further state that reports as to strained relations between Chile and Bolivia, uroning out of the latter s rec. giiitioti.of t tie in surgents as belligetents, are un true, and that the t-toiies ot cruel punishments intlictcd by the gov ernment are pure inventions. 1 anama. Aug. 0. Late Chile mail advices from the southeast bring but little news of interest from the seat of war. here has been slight fighting on land, which in one case resulted in the con gressional forces capturing a col onel, and on the other hand, their forces were driven out ot valleuar and that town recaptured for Bal maceda. A dispatch from Iquique says that the congressional steam trans port Ma'.eo brought a large supply of munitions of war, including eeventy-uve Krupp guns of differ ent calibers and 12,000 magazine rifles, with a plentiful supply of ammunition, it is not known where they were embarked. El Nacional. the congressional organ, came out with a scathing article against United states Min ister Egan, who. in a letter ad dressed to the Iquique junta, ex pressed the opinion that it is im possible for them to overthrow Balmacjda. This incident, along with the Itata business, has caused a bitter feeling against the United States. WELL THRA8HEB- Tlat was What Happtaed to a Brldegrooa EiptottaU A report from Marshalltown, Iowa, says that one of the jiost sensational domestic episodes that city has ever known for years occurred recently. Dr. Rosa Upson, secretary of the State Pharmaceutic? 1 Association, has a daughter by a former marriage, r,lla Martin. A young blacksmith named George Brock has been keeping company with a girl for about a year clandestinely, owing to her mother's opposition, and they were engaged to be married. Last night Brock went with a hack to the Upson domicile to get the girl and effects. Mr. and Mrs. Upson assaulted Brock, got him down on the flo r of the hall, and while her big lord held him Mrs. Upson beat him terribly over the head with a buggy whip, badly disfiguring his countenance. Brock managed to blacken Upson's eyeB and both were covered with blood. Mrs. Upson then walked the streets, wailing like one crazy searching for her daughter, who had slipped away during the en counter. Mr. and Mrs. Upson were ar rested at 1 o'clock this morning and gave bonds for futber hearing to-morrow. Brock is a son of Claud II. Broc'c, clerk of the Senate of the last General Assembly. It Should Have Been Done Before. The subscription started by G. Wingate at Clatsop beach last Monday is to place two tin bouys, secured by mushroom anchors, 400 feet apart at the Hue of ex treme low tide. Lines are to be run from the buoys with a suffi cient number of floats on them. Between tne side lines ethers will be run from shore 50 feet apart, to the outer line. On the shore will be a reel containing 1000 feet of line with a belt attached to the end, that can be placed about the body of any person who is sent out among the breakers to assist in rescuing any bather in danger. Within the life lines thus de scribed the bathers will be sup posed to go in, and always be within easy access of good swim mers. If the swimmer is unable to return he will be pulled in by 1 those on shore. Astoria Talk. CHURCH AND SATE The Old Question Likely to Be Received in England, IBS CLERGY AKI ALARM KD Clergymen Who Havs Beta OcnrlcUd of InftiBOoi Crimes Still Ssrriag la the Pnlpltt- London, Aug. 14. The Church of England clergy are much alarmed by the evident anxiety of the radi cat faction of liberals to make dis establishment an issue in future elections. The government and clergy are surprised at the strength of the optiosition in the closing hours ot parliament to the clergy discipline bill, and this opposition is now reflected and reinforced in the non-conformist and liberal gatherings throughout the country. This measure was intended to make it easy for bishops to get rid of a minister who has been guilty of a degrading crime. At present a clergyman con vie: ted of an offense that may ut terly destroy his usefulness, and eerving in prison under sentence. can still remain rector of a parish and instances of the kind have been witnessed. While the church and government have de sired to put an end to this scan dal, the radicals have refused to agree to the measure, ' preferring apparently that the church should sutler dishonor in order to make the public disgusted with the spectacle and anxious for dises tablishment. At present there are several disgraced clergymen who have served time in the tread mill, in charge of English pulpits, and they cannot be got rid of under the existing law. The non conformist bodies also oppose the free education act for a similar teuson; they believe it gives too iuucli authority to the clergy and their schools, and that it would tend to strengthen the hold of the church upon the people. Mean time the .clergy are not inactive and preparations are being made to carry on an aggressive cam paign in behalf of the church at the next general election, before which it is believed that parlia ment will have an opportunity to pass the disciplinhbill. A NOTED KMBKZ.LEk. He Is to Be Released Frosn Prison bnt Will Be Rearrested. Peoria, 111., Aug. 14. J. Finley Hake, Peoria's noted forger, was released from Johet penitentiary to-day, but the Merchant's Nation al bank, of this city, has caused warrants to be issued for his re arrest. The Hake case Las be come one of world-wide renown, from the fact that it was through it that extradition treaties between the United States and Canada were established. When Hake embezzled $250,000 from the Mer chants' National bank he escaped to Montreal, where every effort was made to keep him. The pro ceedings in the Canadian courts from the justice of the peace to the high court of the queen's bench, and it was finally ordered that Hake should be returned to the United States on a charge of forgery. There are yet nineteen other indictments hanging over him. Were he charged with any othei offense than forgery the prisoner would have to be returned to Can ada, from whence he came, and there is some doubt at the present time whether this will not be the case anyway. If extradition papers signed by the Canadian government covers more than one case of forgery, then there will be no doubt whatever as to the juris diction of the United States over the defendant, there will be a hard legal fight before the status ot the case is established. Denmark Will Be at the Fair. Copenhagen, Aug. 14. Fred Peck, of the Chicago world's fair commission, bas returned to Copen hagen. Peck had an interview with King Oscar at Gothenburg. Three hundred exhibitors at the Gothenburg exhibition have re solved to send exhibits to the Chi cago fair. The king of Denmark gave a luncheon to the Chicago fair commissioners vesterday. ine crown prince and all members of the cabinet were present. The king, in toasting the world's fair and delegates, said Demark would be largely represented at the fair. Balmaoeda's Arrogance ef Power, Washington, Aug. 14. The Chilian congressional envoys at Washington have received advices from Chili which they say confirms their statements heretofore made that President Balmaceda had removed all the judges of the country and had appointed other persons to their places. The en voys say this action of Balmaceda is in direct defiance to the consti tution of Chili, which provides that these judges shall be appoint ed for life, and shall be removed only after being found guilty of misdemeanor. Tne Church Is Now Angry. . London, Aut. 14. A Dublin letter says that the prelates pro pose to take some action in iew of the repeated attacks by Timothy Harrington,member of parliament, on the church of Ireland. Mr. Harrington bas of lata been very bitter in kis language, and baa :eflected on the motives as well as the conduct of the Irish clergy in opposing Parnell, He has also denounced the federation as a fraud, without solid organisation, and practically maintained and managed by the clergy. All these and other similar assaults have at length provoked the Irish hier archy beyond endurance, and Harrington will undoubted be call ed to account, both as a punish ment for bis own rashness, ana as a warning to others. FOOLISH OIKL9. Marry In Baste nod Will Haw to Repent at LeUare. St. Lot-is. Aua 14. Two stage- struck girls, Misses Julia and Alice Bailey, have caused a great social sensation by eloping with and marrying two men in the theatri cal line. The girls are sisters, aad their father is John J. Bailey, chief bookkeeper for the Uofiett West Drug Company: The family is very well known. The father has been for vears actuarv for the mer cantile and public school libraries. The girls are very handsome and have fine voices. They have often appeared in amateur theatricals. and both aspired to shine as pro fessional stars. About the middle of July an opera company was or ganized in St. Louis by an En glishman named W. R. Williams. a lio, it is said, came to this city well provided with proper refer ences. Among those wnoee ser vices he succeeded in enlisting were the Bailey sisters. They knew their parents would object, so a scheme was fixed by which the girls pretended to be taking music lessons from Mr. Williams. The family home is in the extreme eouth end of the city, and the girls easily deceived their parents by pretending to visit mends up town, The company was organ ized and a tour arranged of small near-by Illinois t wns. The par ents thought their daughters were with some acquaintance in tne city until they received a letter an nouncing that Miss Alice had mar- illiams, the manager oi tne en terprise, and Julia had married Harry B. Morgan, the tenor of tte troupe. The father started "after them, and to-night it is said that the girls will leave their husbands and return borne with him. The weddings were duly and religiously solemnized by a minister in Flora, 111. Williams is said to have brought good credentials with him but nobody seems to know where he comes from, except indefinitely from the East. Morgan seems to be unknown. Julia is 21 yeais old, and Alice is 19. Doe Not Believe la It, San Francisco, August 14. Lieutenant Farley, signal officer, does not believe that the govern ment rain-making party in Texas has yet demonstrated its ability to cause rain artificially in any in stance. A series of barometic troughs have been forming on this coast and have been moving east ward ever since Julv 15, fringed with rain on both sides. On the dates of the experiments indi cated by the ram-makers, rain would have fallen in Texas with out fail if there had been no rain making machines in existence. He is carefully watching the weather maps and forecast and reported progress of the experi ment. When rain fell in Texas it also fell in showers over a wide area, coverf ng thousands of square miles. Freak ef an Oakland Girl. Oakland, Cal., Aug. 14. A young woman walked into a newt paper office to-day and left a notice to the effect that Miss Minnie Frates, of North Oakland, would be married to James Fair, son of Senator Fair, at St. Ignatius' church in San Francisco, at 8 o'clock on the evening of August 15th. Inquiry was made and the girl found. She is acting as a nurse girl. She denied the story, aid finally said it was her cousin wbe was to marry Fair. She is regard ed as a victim of delusions. Sev eral years ago she filled the news papers and the public admiaistra tor with stories about a mythical estate which that official worked to recover for her till he found it had no existence except in her mind. A Young King Badly London, Aug. 14. A Vienna dispatch says that amid all the gaiety of his reception in Austria, the young King Alexander, ef 8er via, did not fotget the czar's daughter, Xenia, to whom he sent repeated telegrams, in care of the czarina, telling of his progress. The boy king seems to be deeply smitten with the young imperial beauty, and none of the array of young Austrian child princesses nave been able to efface Xenia from his mind. There appears to be a rivalry between the Russian and Austrian courts as to who shall capture the youth, and with him royal influence in Servia. Bo far the Russians are ahead. Tnylng for the Cmlsers.
