A Perfect Baking Powder.
The constantly growing demand for Dr. Price's
Cream Baking Powder, the standard cream tartar powder
for forty years, is due to two causes.
FIRST: The extreme care exercised by the manu
facturers to make it perfectly pure, uniform in quality, and
of highest raising power.
SECOND: The recent investigations exposing the
fact that certain other brands of baking powder contain
ammonia and still others that were found to contain alum.
These unscrupulous manufacturers are being found . out,
and the consumers are giving them a wide birth.
Nothing is left to chance in the manufacture of Dr.
Price's Cream Baking Powder. Chemists arc employed to
test every ingredient as to purity and strength. Hence;
its marvelous purity and uniformity. Each can is like
every other. It never dissapoints. BEST is ALWAYS
the CHEAPEST.
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 questioned.

ACTIOS OF TUB RAILROAD COMMISSION
a t its m online this afternoon the
Oregon state tioard of railroad
commissioners took action in the
matter of the Union Pacilic freiiiht
rates. The company sent repre
sentatives before the commission
protesting against the adoption of
the new rates and also making a
complaint against ineir uumem-
t and asked the
hoard for lifty days to collect data,
but this request was refused. The
taritf sheets adopted by the board
go into elfect not later than Sep
tember 1st. The board thought
the rates unreasonable and more
than a just compensation. The
new rates are a reduction on an
average of not less than 33 per
cent, on grain and mill stulfs and
probably about 15 per cent, on
horses, muiea, etc. in car load lots.
The Union Pacilic will contest.

RUSSIAN SEALERS.
Unud Catches Off the Coast of Eat

from St. Petersburg states that ac
cording to recent Russian advices
from Fast Siberia the KUBsiai
sealer have captured a considei
able quanity skins in the water
controlled bv the Russian govei n
ment, and there is no apparent
cessation of their operations. The
authorities are keeping a keen
lookout for trespassers in the Rus
sian jurisJiction,and so far several
have been chased, but none cap
tured. The sealing season has
been excellent, no diminution in
the number of seals being appar
ent. The Russians apparently feel
under no obligations as to any
agreement with Great Britain, and
it is rumored on semi-omcial auth
ority that no confidence is place i
by the Czar's representatives in
Eastern Siberia in the good faith
of the American sealing company,

THE SAVIOR' COAT.
Thousands of Pilgrims Uather to
Look at the Sacred Garment.
London. Auk. 20. A dispatch
from Treves Bays that the public
exhibition of the holy coat said to
have been worn bv the Savior was
begun to-day. The exhibition
was inaugurated by a pontifical
service conducted by the bishop,
after w hich the people of the par
ish ot ot. Uangotphin ireves
opened the series of pilgrims' pro-
cession, lhe coat was in a glass
case on the huh marble staircase
behind the high altar. A large
cros, illuminated by gas, has been
erected over the place where the
relic is shown and five flags were
hoisted on the roof of the cathe
dral. A great multitude was in
attendance to see the holy coat,
aad physicians are overrun with
applications for certificates on the
part of the pilgrims wlu wish to
touch the garment with the hope
of being cured of disease. Neither
the diocesan authorities or the
great and increasing throng of pil
grims apparently pay any atten
tion to tne charges atlecting the
authenticity ol the holy coat.
Bkrlin, Aug. 20. Railway ofll
ciaU expect an enormous pasi-en
ger traffic in and out of Treves
next Sunday, and have made
preparations to carry 50,000 pil
grims. The burgomaster of
Treves thinks 800,000 pilgrims
nui tisiii me cuy oiiiing tne exm-
bition of the coat. The exlnbi
tion will probably last six weeks.
A BUNGLING EXECUTION.
An English Murderer Hanged and
His Head Nearly Torn Off-
Liverpool, Aug. 20 John Con
way, a steamship fireman, con
victed of the murder of a boy,
whose body was found floating in
a sailor's bag in the river, was
hanged this morning. The hang
ing was a terrible affair, the man's
bead being torn from his body by
the heavy fall.
Attempted Burglary.
About 10 o'clock last evening
(jus Boemcke discovered the iron
window shutters in the back of
Conn & liendricson's store,
opened. He closed them and went
out front to find a policeman, and
on going back found the shutters
open again and the window up,
indicating that tne would-be bur
glars had escaped. Mr. Hendric
eon came down and could find
nothing missing. It is probable
that they were interrupted before
they got to work. Twelve suspici
ous characters boarded the over
land train last night.
DOWN IN CHILL
MANEUVERS OP THE INSUR
GENT FORCES.
Great Interest la Manifested by the
Iraurgenta In the Movements of
Batmaceda's New War Ships.
Lima, Peru, Aug. 20. A message
dated Antofagasta, Augusts, states
that the Junta s transports and
warships, including the II nasi or,
Abato, ICsmemlda, Ama.ones,
Biebie, Almiraute, Cochrane and
Mogilianes, were to have left Cal-
dera on or about August l.i with
10.000 well-armed men. Their
object is to either effect a landing
in .san Antonio and march by land
upon the southern htronghohln of
tialuiaceda or else to attempt to
engage the forts of Valparaiso.
Whatever course is taken bv the
Junta's lleet a tierce light is ex
pected within a few days.
The government torcea in and
around Santiago number 12,000.
Great interest is manifested by
the insurgents in the movements
of Balmaceda'e two new war ships
the Pin to and F.rrazwiz. it is
rumored that attempts will be
made to prevent their reaching
Chilian waters.
YVasiii.motos. Anff. 20. In din-
lomatic circles it is confidently
expected that the state depart
ment will grant the envoys ol tne
Chilian constitutional government
v chance to argue their cause.
I'hey were unofficially informed,
mine time aeo. through a United
States senator, that they could not
he received. Subsequently, how
ever, the fortunes of the insur
gents improved and it is believed
that the rejorts of Minister
Kaean's conduct will cause Secre
tary Blaine to revise his policy
toward Chili.
Private advices lately received
from Santiago indicate that Eagan
continues to exert himself in
fnvnr nf Halmaepila. talkimr onenlv
against the constitutional govern
ment.
Now tkat two cargoes of arms
and ammunition have arrived at
Imiinua. the auer.ts of the consti
tutional government here do not
appear to worry over the itata
case. The general supposition is
that the vessel will be released.
If she is. her owners will immedi
ately bring an action against this
government for large damages.
kienor Varas, one ot tne agents ot
the insurgents, has gone to San
Francisco to rive his personal at
tention to the Itata caee. Mr.
Foster, another colleague of Senor
Moutt, said it could snake but little
difference now to the revolution
ists what the courts do with the
Itata. "I think perhaps it would
be best for our cause," he said, "to
have a decision against us. It
would emphasize the unfair man
nnr in which we have been
treated and help our party with
the people."
Tired of Life.
Belviderk, X. I., Aug. 20. Miss
Margaret Vaughn, an aged maiden,
took her own life to-day by bang
ing herself. She was a resident of
the village of Marksboro, where
she had spent nearly the whole of
her life, fene was in her 7tn year.
There is no reason to ascribe for
her action, but it is thought her
mind bad become unbalanced by
her retired and almost solitary
life, nearly all h,'r family having
died years ago.
Not Safe in the flowery Kingdom.
London, Aug. 20. To-day's dis
patches from China indicate that
the situation is most alarming and
that the Chinese government is
not able to guarantee the security
of foreigners.

THE DRIVER GOT EXCITED
The Koblei-j Was Committed Hear the
Dalles, Oregon -An Armed Pons
on the Thief Tra 1.
The Dalles, Or., Aug. 20. The
Prineville and Canyon City stage
was held up yesterday afternoon
about 3 o'clock, three miles westof
Shearar's bridge, by a maeked
man armed with a Winchester
rille. He ordered the driver, Chas
Adaoi3, to throw, out the mail
sacks. Five were given to the
robber and the driver was ordered
to drive on. Adams was asked by
the man who were behind him,
and he answered, teamsters
Parties who visited the scene soon
afterward found two Backs, but the
other thiee had been taken. The
robber is described as a medium

The driver was excited. He could
not tell whether the robber wore a

prit. lhe place is about thirty miles
from The Dalles. Xo passengers

well armed and struck the trail ot
the robber, and were following it
up with prospects of capturing the
thief.
SLEPT IMHE BATHTUB.
It Was full of Cold Water, But It
Effectively Sobered Him.
Nine hours of sleep in a bath
tub filled with cold water is the
novel escapade of a New York
traveling man at the Plankinton
house, Milwaukee. The gentle-
mau is the representative ot a
champagne house, and a tour
among his customers Sunday
night resulted in Lis gelling an
over supply of his own v.-are. Re-
turning to the hotel about 11
o'clock, he concluded to take a cold
bath in hopes of retreshing him
self. Filling the bath tub adjoin
ing his room with cold water, he
was eoon in it, iinineieed up to his
r.eck, aud w ith his head lying on
the eloping end of the tub befell
asleep. In that position he re
mained until 7:30 t ie next morn
ing, when a bell boy aroused him.
Nine hours in the cold water had
shriveled up his hands and feet
and still'ened his joints until he
could hardly move, but a few hot
dritiks soon revived him. While
he admits that it is a most effect
ual way of sobering up, he thinks
it altogether too dangerous.
TURKISH BRIGANDS.
They Are Capturing Men and Hold
ing Them for Ransom.
ConsTAXTixoi-LE, Aug. 20. An
other outrage by a party of Turk
ish brigands is causing much
uneasiness to the authorities of
this city. An Italian railroad in
spector at work about seventy
miles from Salonica was abducted
by the brigands, and is supposed
to be held a prisoner pending the
payment of a heavy ransom. The
body of a murdered railroad man
was' found near the snot where the
inspector was last seen.
Xo news is received up to date
of the Frenchman Rutlier, who
started about a week ago to ransom
his employer, Raymond, who was
held a prisoner by the brigands.
A Balloon Disaster.
Denver, Co'., Aug. 20. This
afternoon a balloon ascension was
advertised at Manhattan Beach.
When the ropes were cut, besides
Professor King, the teronaut's bas
ket contained a couple who
were married just before the
balloon started. When the balloon
reached a height of eight thous
and feet it encountered a storm
and burst. For over a mile it fell
like so mucn lead, then the silk of
the balloon formed into a sort of
parachute, stopping the rapidity
of the fall. The occupants lit in
a corn field with such force that
they were unconscious for several
hours.
Poor Crops in India,
Calcutta, Aug. 20. A dispatch
from the capital of British Burruah

An Arm Mashed.
Portland, Aug. 20. A China
man, working for McCoy's print
inc house, met with a nainful and
serious accident this morning at
V .M. hue cleaning up arounu
one of the small presses, he stuck
his arm underneath to pick out
some waste paper. The sleeve of

DEATH IN A TORNADO
A TERRIFIC CYCLONE SWEEPS
OVER A FRENCH ISLAND
Slaty Deaths are Recorded as the
Hurricane's Werk Numerous
Plantations Were Destroyed.
Paris, Aug. 20. Official advices
received here this afternoon an
nounce the calamity which visited
Martinique the most severe since
the year 1817. So far as can be
learned there are neariy. if not
quite, sixty deaths as the result of
the hurricane s visit, but it win
be some time before the lull ex
tent of the disaster is known.
At Fort De France alone there
were twelve lives lost, and at both
Fort De Fiance and St. Pierre, to
say nothing of the country dis
tricts, lare numbers of people.
were injured.
At St. Pierre nve persons are
known to have been killed, but it
is feared this number does not
represent the entire loss of life in
the capital. Communication with
different parts of the island was
Lever an easv matter, and it is ex
cessively difficult to get detailed
news at present. As the reports
from various sections reach St.
Pierre, it becomes evident that the
extent of tne hurricane's devasta
tion has not been much exagger
ated. Destruction of property and
loss of life is reported from all
parts of the coast.
The latest report received at St.
Pierre from Lainciiuu shows ten
victims at that place alone, in ad
dition to a large number injured.
At Francois there were sixteen
people killed and a large number
injured, and at Rivere Pilote there
were t vo or more deaths. So on
from all parts of the island comes
the tale of woe and desolation.
La Trinate sends a list of its dead
at ten, and many others, more or
less, severely injured.
The damage done to the ship
ping and property is enormous.
About two-thirds of the island was
under cultivation, and the moun
tain slope was covered with for
ests. All cultivation and all the
forests in the path of the hurricane
appear to be swept away. Numer
our, sugar, coffee, cotton aud co
coa plantations, which have felt
the force of the tornado, seem to
have been utterly destroyed.
The Bienfailur and Ned White
are two of the ships which are
among the twenty reported lost.
