Biils have been introduced in the New York, Illinois
r.nd Minnesota Legislatures compelling the manufacturer
o such halving powders to brand on the label in bold type,
this powder "Contains ammonia." Physicians and chem
ists condemn the use of ammonia inbaking.powders as a
crime. " Its constant use no matter how small the quantity
tlerangcs the stomach, neutralizing the gastric juice and
destroying the complexion. It is the small quantities taken
even- meal that do the mischief.
It is gratifying to hnow there are pure baking powders
to be had on the market and at no greater cost to the
concumcr than some of these so-called ''absolutely pure"
ammonia powders.
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder, the standard pure
cream of tartar powder for forty years. Free from the taint
of either ammonia or alum. None so pure None so whole
some. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is re
ported by all authorities as free from Ammonia,
Alum, or any otLer adulterant. In fact, the
purity of this ideal powder has never been questioned.

A GREAT PROJECT.
An International Railroad to
- South America.
A COMPLIMENT TO BLAINE.
ll he Opinion of the London Tlmei on
the Frojeot of a Railroad to the
South American Repnblioj.
Losoos, Aug. 25. The Times
to-day publishes a three-column
article upon the projected inter
continental railway which, when
completed, will link the South and
Central American republics with
each other and with the United
States.
In discussing these plans, the
Times expresses the opinion that
"J nines (i. Blaine, United States
secretary of state, is a man ol
grand ideas, and if, as it seems
iiite passible, he is the next pres
ident, there will be some chance
of realizing this scheme."
Continuing, the Times says:
"The project aims to join the
markets of North and South
America, but there is no place for
a general commercial system, even
in the relations between the sev
eral republics. The railroad, when
completed, would have to compete
with the great waterways on the
other side of the continent. From
Huenos Ayres to New York, and
Irom Valparaiso to .San Francisco,
the existing means of travel are
simpler and cheaper than they
could even be made on a railroad.
It is obvious the scheme equally
has political as well as commercial
ends in view to join the North
and South American republics.
Kven though the first outward
t-igii of the union will be nothing,
the iron rail with a supreme cen
ter of republican government at
Washington is a conception of
captivating magnitude."
The Times also asserts that re
cent proposals on the part of the
United States, looking to the es
tablishment of reciprocity with
various republics of the continent,
have been generally reserved by
the countries to which the ove:
tures were made as specimens of
absolutely cynical Anglo-Saxon
selfishness and that the proposals
(created profound distrust in Anier-
ican bargains.
t Touchimr uoon the question as
to where capital is to be found for
the enormous enterprise, the
Times expresses the opinion that
it cannot be found in the needy
Southern republics, and that it
must be raieed in the United
States.
MIT.bKltKI) KV NATIVES.
Sail rate of a Crew or Whalere
fin the North.
Chicago, Aug. 25. A Washing
ton special says : "A catastrophy
in r..inrie.l bv 1 lin treagurv denart-
ment from the Arctic regions.
The crews of two small steam
whalers wintsiing near the mouth
of the Mackenzie river, about 500
miles east of Foint aJJarrow, have
been massacred by tne natives oi
that region. The steamers were
lh ornnertv of t.ho Pacific Whal
ing Company, and carried sixty
men as crews. liiey were en
armed, equipped and provision, d
Heretofore the natives had been
very friendly to whites. Many ol
them are well armed, having been
supplied with rifles by trading ves
ali u liieh hiivn exchanged KUUS
and'whisky for furs. While it is a
new thmit lor whalers t winter in
the Arctic as far east as these two
steamers have, w hite men have
spent winters on shore with the
natives and have lived with a good
degree of comfort. Whaling crews
encamped on land would not be
under any such strict discipline as
might be enforced on shipboard,
and if their intercourse with the
natives was ottensive they proba
bly have been overpowered by
superior numbers.
FKANCK AND 1CUSSIA.
To Ul Each Other la Caee of
Trouble in China,
London, Aug. 25. The Times'
Paris correspondent sends the fol
lowing story under reserve : "Ad
miral Gervais took the proposed
agreement to Cronstadt binding
France and Russia mutually to
assist each other in the event of
the Chinese rising against foreign
ers. Each nation further agrees
not to obstruct each other'B mis
sionaries. Admiral Gervais brought
the agreement back in a modi tied
form. It is presumed that Foreign
Minister Kibot desired to find a
subject for agreement which would
not give umbrage to the powers."

London, Aug. 25. The report

victory over Germany they would
have scnieswig reannexeu to Den

lor some uays past. in is rumor,
however, has called to public at
tention other rumors of a scare

ance. It was stated recently on
i i . i : . : . i . .
n.gu auuioriiy ai ivuiia tout, one
of the written agreements of the
triple alliance was, in the event of
success in a continental way, to
disable Russia forever by divest
ing the empire of Poland, Finland
and the Baltic provinces, and com
pelling the czar to abandon St.
Petersburg for Moscow, France at
the same time to be compelled to
give up Nice and Corsica t) Italy.
These arrangements are under
stood to be locally provisional, but
the fatt that they are talked of
shows the deliberate way in which
the European nations are prepar
ing for the gigantic struggle.
SHOWERS OF STONES.
They rail Like Rain. Startling the
People at a Uouatala.
IIinton, W. Va., Aug. 25.
People living on New River moun
tain, in this county, are much
wrought up by the phenomena
which has been witnessed there at
intervals for several months, but
which has only recently assumed
startling proportions. Many re
ports were circulated of the mys
terious rain of tiny stjnes which
apparently came out of the air.
At first these attracted little no
tice, but, as time passed, the
reports became so general s to
attract wide notice, in response
to inquiries from a distance, a cor
respondent visited the mountain
last week to investigate the
stories. He found that while the
common reports are considerably
exaggerated, there is a basis of
truth lor it, and the facts which
are susceptible of proof are mys
terious and interesting.

Saratoga, where Senator Gorman
now is, is authority for the state
ment that Gorman tol l a promin
ent Connecticut politician who
spoke to him about the presidency,
that Maryland's vote in the next

Jacksonville, Fla., Aug. 25.
Harmon Murray, the negro des
perado and murderer, is still main
taining a reign of terror in the
southwestern portion of the state,
lie stepped into a colored church
near Melrose yesterday, and, hold
ing up the congregation, compelled
the deacons and minister to take
up a collection for him, which
they did. He left after teUing
them they were doing good by
helping him. He has threatened
to stop trains on some of the rail
roads, and armed men are patrol
ing the track in many places.
.1 array has committed many
other acta of lawlessness in the
past week. The citizens of
Gainsville have ottered large re
wards, and the county commis
sioners have been asked to aid in
the work of arres'ing the despera
do. Two hundred men are search
ing the swamps for him, but as
the murderer knows all the by
paths he is able to escape his pur
suers, but appears in unexpected
places, causing the wildest excite
ment. FLOODS IN ENGLAND.
Crops Washed Away and Many
Cattle Drowned.
London, Aug. 25. Heavy rains
in Morelanu county have caused
the streams to overflow, flooding
the surrounding country. Stand
ing crops were washed away and
many cattle drowned.
The Oazette says that with bad
prospects here, and poor crops in
Europe and India, it is likely
America will make importers pay
stilt prices for their grain.
AN ACTIVE VOLCANO.
Streama of Lava and Showera of

City of Mexico, Aug, 25. A
telegram received from Colima
says the volcano is still active ;
and beside the lava that is con
tinually being thrown out, an oc
casional shower of ashes falls about
the country. The wind has car
ried the asheB fully fifty miles dis
tant. A scientific expedition is
now making an examination of the
volcano.

Salem, Aug, 25. John Curtis,
aged 50, is the latest arrival at the
insane asylum. He is from Yam
hill county, and thinks people seek
his life. Curtis was in the rebel
lion and a prisoner at Auderson
Ville for a long time, the suffering
from which deranged his mind.
In the vicinity of Salem eeveral
hop growers have commenced pick
ing, and by the first of next week
hop picking will be in full blast.
In spite of lice there will be the
average crop. One grower flooded
the lice all olf the vines with water,
and then buried them. This was
done seyeral weeks ago and there
are scarcely any lice to be found on
his vines. Another had Chinamen
to pull all the leaves off the vines
eai ly in the season. He did this
on thirty acres and they are now-
ready for picking. He has but a
few lice. XI is tne cleanest yard
in Ihe country. Where the lice
are, in picking, growers find con
siderable mould.
Wheat has advanced a couple of
cents, being quoted now at 85
cents. The market is firm and
advancing.
The Selorm school board this

A DESPERADO.
Charged With Train Robbery aad

Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 25. Two
detectives here arrested William

and the Corrj , Pa., police are anx
ious to take him into custody.
McDermott is charged with train

A KOl'GH PASSAGE.
Seventy Head of Cattle Lost An
Explosion.
London, Aug. 25. The steamer
'Loch Lomond from Montreal,
which arrived at Dundee, experi
enced severe hurricanes during
her voyage. The weather encoun
tered was eo severe that the men
having charge of cattle on board
were unable to approach them for
two days. Seventy-seven head of
cattle were lost, and scarcely one
head escaped injury. There was a
sickening scene as the vessel was
discharging her cargo, a lumber
of butchers Ijeing busily engaged
for Eeveral hours killing cattle,
both aboard the Steamer and in
the quay.
The British steamer Dehomver,
which had on board a consignment
of powder, was completely shat
tered by an explosion. She was
beached at Vigo, where she was
burned. The crew were saved.
HELPING THE JEWS.
The rrlnoe of Wales Is Interesting

London, Aug. 25. The Pall Mall
Gazette to-day says the Prince of
Wales is taking a great interest in
the matter of the persection of the
Jews in Russia and in the condi
tion of the immigrants of that
nationality who are coming to
England. Though he has not
taken any direct measures to assist
the needy Jews, fearing that such
action on his part would wound
the feelings of Russia, he has in
directly given much assistance to
the Anglo-Jewish committees.
BAKUEROUS MASSACRE,

Hawaiian legislature, arrived here
yesterday on the China steamer,
having spent some time in India,
China and the Phillipines, inves
