A telegram has been received at army
headquarters from General Brooke, com-
nanding the Department of Dakota, in
response to one sent by General Scho
field asking the truth about the report
that Big Foot's band had left the reser
vation and started for Pine Ridge. Gen
eral Brooke stated he had been unable
to learn anything definite about the
movement, but would find out the scope
and significance at once. There is no
apprehension felt at Washington that
the movement will be followed by any
thing like last winters outbreak. Gen
eral Schofield said : " The state of things
m the Indian country to-day is far better
than a year aifo. There is more content
among the Sioux this winter than last.
This is mainly due, I believe, to the fact
that the attairs of the government so far
as they affect the Indians are better, ad
ministered. I do not think there are anv
discernable signs of trouble this winter,
for so far as I can see the tribes are
quiet."
The secret sendee division of the
Treasury Department has information
of the existence of a most dangerous $20
counterfeit gold certificate. It is a pho

Is. K. Bruce, Kegister: James UiiitUlan,
Treasurer ; act of July 12, 1882 ; depart
ment series A 372,946. Apart from the
counter containing the 20 on the face
and tho portrait of Garfield there is lit
tie of trie gray ot the photograph anout
it. The seal is small and scalloped, hav
ing a reddish tinge, apparently applied
with a brush. The number is very pro
nounced and heavier than in the genu
ine. The surface on the note is one-half
of an inch shorter and one-eighth of an
inch narrower than the genuine. It has
the two parallel silk threads running
through it. The tint on the back of the
note is light brown, while in the genuine
notes it is orange. This counterfeit is
determined by the character of its tints
rather than by the lines in the engraving,
as it is a photograph of genuine work.

ALUM AND AMMONIA
In Oar Brrl Hhttll W Drlra Slow
FoUon From Our Hrrakfant Tabla?
A nuisance that troubled England fifty
years ago it now rapidly spreading ii
this country, that is, putting alum in the
oread we eat. 1 his question is causing
a great deal of discussion at the present
moment, as it is revealed that alum
being used as a substitute for cream of
tartar in baking powders. A story is
told that a very large percentage of the
baking powders sold on the market con-
ibiu eiuier slum or ammonia, and
many of them contain both these per
nicious drugs. Much timely alarm in
felt at the wholesale use of alum in
bread, biscuit and pastry. To younv
children, growing girls, persons of
weakly frame, alum bread eaten morn
ing, noon and evening is the most
harmful. It is the small quantities taken
at every meal that do the mischief.
Alum is cheap, costing but 2 or 3 cents a
pound, while cream of tartar costs 30
cents, and the high price of cream of tar
tar has led cheap baking powder to be
made of alum. If the reader wants to
know something of the corrosive ouali
ties of alum, let him touch a piece to his
tongue; then reflect how it acts on the
tender, delicate coats of the stomach.
The Scientific American published in a t
recent number a list of alum and am-
rnon ji baking powders, which is of eret.'
value at this time. Following is aoov' t
ueiiseu. iisi complied nora omciai re
