Confidence when eating, that your food is of highest wholesomeness—that it has nothing in it that can injure or distress you— makes the repast doubly comfortable and satisfactory. This supreme confidence you have when the food is raised with ROYSHAHN Baking Powder Abscluicly Pare The only baking powder made with Royal Grape Cream of Tartar There can be no comforting confi- dence when eating alum baking pow- der food. Chemists say that more or less of the alum powder in unchanged alumor alum salts remains in the food. THE DOOM OF THE WEED IS SEALED BY THE CHEMIST Discovery Made Which, It Is Said, Will Relieve Aching Back of the Gardener and the Farmer. --Iron Sulphate the Slayer. Death to weeds, but harmless as a kitten to other things that grow! Full many a gardener has longed for}such a discovery to les- sen his cares and let a few kinks out of his aching back. Now sience steps in to the fore- front and says that just that dis- covery has.been made. The magic substance can be applied to the front vard and the dandolions and other rank growths will shrivel up while the grass thrives. And it can be applied with proportionate- ly bigger results to the broad acres of the agriculture regions where wild mustard, Canada thistles, cornflowers and other destructive weeds wither and curl up, while the oats, or the wheat, or what ever the crop may be, grows more lustily than ever. At leastall that 1s claimed for copperas, otherwise known as iron sulphate or green vitrol, and it has been tried out in connection with experiments car- ried on at a number of agriculture colleges. The results seem to have startl- ed the professors themselves, who remark conseratively that if the solution proves even a fraction as successful in common practice as it has in the experiments, the mon- ey returns to the agriculture states must far exceed:the hopes of the most optimistic. But the gardener isnot the only one to smile over this discovery. The Steel corporation also has a few chuckles coming. At each of its wire mills an acid bath forms a part of the manufacturing pro- cess, and after the bath is over it has considerable quantities ofgreen vitrol on its hands which formerly were cast away. When some enterprising chemist chanced upon the discovery that green vitrol could be put to some useful purpose, the steel people immediately sat up and took notice. They carried on experiments in laboratories of their own, and they interseted agricultural colleges in the discovery. Just now the Am- erican Steel and WireCompany has issued a pamphlet which telis all about iron sulphate, with evidence to convince the most skeptical, The sulphate, which comes in the form of green crystals, is dis- solved in water for application to the pernicious weeds. A couple of pounds to the gallon is said to be about the quantity to settle the fate of the most determined lawn dandelion that grows. Wild mus- tard requires a stronger dose, and the farmer who goes on the war path after this common destroyer is advised to use from seventy-five to 100 pounds of the stuff for each fifty-two gallons of water and then go forth for a wholesale slaying. The solution is not to be applied with any ordinary sprinkling can. It probably would eat the can with more avidity than it eats weeds: A spraying machine is necessary. are many.” And quality and elegance. value of this article. easily obtained.

The presence of a good bright sun is said to help the matter along, and if it happens to be in the early morning when the dew is still on the ground, why so much the better. ‘What the sulphate does to the weed is said to be a plenty and then some. It worksin a slow and leisurely fashion and for the first day or so the intruders cont- inue to stand up and pretend they like it. On the secord day, how ever, they lose heart and ambition. They become mourning weeds, the chief mourners at their own funeral. Among other places, the process has been tried out on wheat fields at the North Dakoto agriculture experiment stations, as well as in flax cuiture in Minnesota. Some remarkoble results are said to have been obtained at the Cornell Uni- versity experment station atlthaca. N. Y. Sulphate is said also to have cstablished its usefulness in | the oat fields of Wisconsin. DOINGS AMONG BEMIDJI'S COUNTRY NEIGHBORS Live Correspondents of the Pioneer Write the News from Their Localities. Cunningham. Ehe “militia fever’’ is settling upon some of the young men in these parts. Many seed potatoes are being pur- chased at Grand Rapids this spring by many of the ¢‘would be’’ raisers. Rabbits and mice girdled many of the apple and plum trecs, also berry bushes, during the season of ‘‘snow lying upon the ground.”’ Ducks and fish are pleatiful around and in the lake at present, but it falls to those who live at a distance to cap- ture and carry them away.

GOVERNMENT WILL “60 AFTER” OREGON ROAD Claim Made that Company Has Violat- ed Agreements.—Local Parties Are Interested. Washington April 25:—By the overwhelming vote of 245 to 8 the house to-day, after several hours’ discussion, ad opted without amend ment the senate joint resolution authorizing the attorney general to file suits against the Oregon & Cal- ifornia Railroad company for the forfeiture of all or part of 2,800,000 acres of land grants in the western part of Oregon. It is claimed by the government that by reason of breaches and vio- lations of the acts making the grants the railroad company had forfeited all right to the land in question. The sentiment of the house was practically unanimous that the suits would work no hardship on bona fide purchasers of homesteads from the company. The resolution was intro- duced in the senate by Senator Till- man and has passed that body. Many residents of Bemidji and other parts of Beltrami county and other portions of northern Minne- sota are vitally interested in the outcome of proposed legislation relative to the Oregon & California railroad grant, as they have made tenders to the company to purchase various tracts of the land at the specified sum of $2.50 per acre. Whether these offers will be con- sidered as coming from ‘“‘actual settlers” or not is where the chance is taken by the parties trying to secure the land. It is a good ten to one chance of getting the land, and no doubt all who have made application would be willing to live on the land and establish a residence before buying the tracts which they have applied for. The outcome of the legislation proposed above will be watched with great interest. Welch Departs for Excelsior. W. P.

Ryan Discusses Corpora- tion Capitalization. New York, April 25.—When Thomas F. Ryan was before the special grand jury investigating the affairs of the Metropolitan Street Railway company he said that 95 per cent of the stock of old raiiroad corporations in this country never cost a dollar. There was great surprise and many of the jurors questioned Mr. Ryan, believing that they had misunder- stood, but the only one in the room who manifested no surprise was Mr. Jerome, who before Mr. Ryan ap- peared before the jury had carefully gone over all the testimony with him. ‘“‘Please explain,” said Mr. Jerome. “Well,” said Mr. Ryan, “the rail- roads in the last of these great specu- lative years that we have had have put up stock so that it was easy to raise money on stocks and bonds; but ap to 1885 95 per cent of all steam railroads, all street railroads and all Industrial corporations of this country never put in one dollar on their stock except a little organization expenses that were required-for a few shares of stock in the beginning.” TFTTOVISIT PANAMA Secretary of War Will Sail for Canal Zone on April 30. CABINET DECIDES MATTER Number of Questions Between the United States and Panama and Be- tween Panama and Colombia in Need of Attention. ‘Washington, April 25.—As the re- sult of deliberations at the cabinet session it was determined that Secre- tary Taft should go to Panama. He will sail April 30 on the cruiser Prairie. A detachment of marines also will be sent on the Prairie. A number of questions between the TUnited States and ‘Panama and be- tween Panama and Colombia will be negotiated during the secretary’s stay on the isthmus. It is said to be neces- sary that the concessions the United States obtained from Panama provid- ed for in a protocol should be embod- ied in a permanent treaty. The secretary will be gone three ‘weeks, expecting to return to the United States May 20. The Prairie will sail from Charleston, S. C. MAY FIGHT CONFIRMATION Senator Nelson Claims Right to Name Lochren’s Successor. Washington, April 25.—Senators Nelson and Clapp of Minnesota, espe- cially the former, are bitter in their feeling over the appointment of Mil- ton D. Purdy to succeed Judge Will- iam Lochren of Minneapolis and there is strong possibility of an effort to prevent confirmation. In tbat event the case will attract widespread at- tention. as it will bring the president and the senate squarely to an issue over the question whether judicial ap- pointments are to be recognized as a part of senatorial patronage. The president holds that they are not and should not be. He recognizes the right of the senate to pass upon the moral or professional fitness of men selected for judgeships, but re- fuses to recognize political or per- sonal grounds as fairly operating against an appointee. The responsi- bility of judicial appointments, the president declares, rests solely upon him. It is a rule that is regarded as an invasion of senatorial prerogatives by the older statesmen especially. There have been instances, moreover, it is pointed out, where senatorial recommendation has prevailed, even with President Roosevelt, Illinois hay- ing furnished an example or two. Senator Nelson’s candidate for the vacant judgeship was W. E. Hale, a Minneapolis lawyer. Senator Clapp joined in recommending Hale. ILLINOIS ENDORSES BRYAN Delegates to Denver Instructed to Vote for Nebraskan. Springfield, I, April 25.—Illinois Democracy, represented.by the dele- gates to the state convention enthusi- astically endorsed William J. Bryan for the presidential nomination. After a hot fight in the resolutions committee, which was carried into the convention, the party adopted a plat- form plank declaring in favor of the “greatest possible personal liberty” to individuals, provided such liberty did not infringe upen the rights of other people. Instead of naming the usual four delegates and alternates at large to the nationa! convention it was decid- ed to send eight, allowing each man one-half of a vote. Two presidential electors at large were chosen. The resolution endorsing Mr. Bryan was adopted with enthusiasm and a flattering demonstration followed the action. ONE DAUGHTER ESCAPES. Remainder of Family Victims of Cana- dian Prairie Fire. Battleford, Sask., April 25.—Anna Matthews is the only survivor of a family of five as a result of prairie fires in the Trampling Lake district. The father went to fight the flames, which were creeping down on their little home, and perished in the at- tempt. The house took fire and Anna Matthews, eighteen years old, with her clothes ablaze, caried her five- year-old brother and sister to a place of safety. She then returned for her mother, but was too late. She fought her way again through the sea of fire only to find that the other children had wandered into the fire and per- ished. Explosion Wrecks Six Buildings. Eagle River, Wis, April 25—Six hundred pounds of dynamite in a burning warehouse, 400 feet from the business section of this city, exploded. Six business buildings were wrecked. Fronts of other buildings were blown in and-all of the structures are partly demolished. No one was killed in the explosion. The damage is estimated st $15,008. Two Pennsylvania Banks Closed. Oil City, Pa., April 25.—The Farm- ers’ National bank of Emlenton, Pa., with a capital of $50,000, and the First National bank of Clintonville, Pa., with a capilal of $25,000, both in Ve- nango county, were closed by the comptroller of the currency. The Clintonville institution is said to be a subsidiary of the Emlenton bank. ATTEMPT TO BURN PLANT Allis-Chalmers Factory Saved by Auto- matic Sprinklers. Milwaukee, April 25.—The Sentinel says: A desperate attempt was made to destroy the Allis-Chalmers plant at West Allis, or at least stop its opera- tion for a time. All that saved the big plant from heavy loss was the automatic sprinkler equipment, which extinguished the flames before they gained enough < Guy Vaughan, in a thirty-horsepower The attack was dir < on the pat- tern shop, the mogt vital part of the plant. With patterns destroyed wor™ would have to come to a standstill un- til others could be prepared. From this it appears tne attempt was the work of men who are well acquainted with the workings of the plant. They took a desperate chance and it was not their fault, but the good fortune of the plant, that they did not suc- ceed. The determination of those back of | the plot is shown by the fact that | they had with them a dozen one-gallon H cans of kerosene which were brought | to the place in three telescope cases. From the appearance of the shop a | premature explosion of the oil scared | the wreckers away before the prepara. tions were completed. BY UNANIMOUS VOTE. House Committee Decides Not to Im-} peach Judge Wilfley. ‘Washington, April 25.—Impeach- ment proceedings will not be insti-{ tuted against Lebbeus R. Wilfley, Jjudge of the United States court for China, against whom charges of mis- conduct on the bench were brought by Lorin S. Andrews and other Amer- | ican lawyers resident in Shanghai. | The house judiciary commiitee, by! unanimous vote, adopted a report de- LEBBEUS R. WILFLEY. claring that facts sufficient to justify the impeachment of Judge Wilfley have not been presented to the sub- committee, to which the charges were | referred. The report of the sub-committee, al- ready made public, is not a complete exoneration of the accused judge, but establishes that his conduct was not, within the constitutional limitations, impeachable. VICTORY FOR ITALIAN CARS Finish First and Second in Automo- bile Race. Briarcliff, N. Y., April 25.—Louis Strang, in a fifty-horsepower Italian car, won the 259-mile automobile race over the Briarcliff course. Cedrino, also in an Italian car, was second, and i car of American make, was third. Her- bert Lytle and Paul Sartori, the only other racers to officially finish the long journey, finished respectively in fourth and fifth positions. Lytle drove a fifty-horsepower car of American manufacture and Sartori a forty-horse- power Italian machine. Three other cars of the twenty-two which started would have been able to complete the journey, but the race was officially declared off as soon as the fifth car had crossed the finish line to avoid any possible accident to the spec- tators, who overflowed the course. The time made by the racers was comparatively slow and to this fact is probably dve the absence of serious accidents. There were numerous minor mishaps, resulting in the withdrawal of several cars from the contest, but in no case was any one seriously hurt. The course has been recognized as one of the most dangerous ever se- lected for a speed contest between high power machines and the drivers exercised unusual precautions. Strang took the lead early in the race and at no time was his position in danger. MADAME GOULD AT NAPLES Prince de Sagan on Hand to Greet American Woman. Naples, April 25.—Madame Anna Gould arrived here from New York on board the steamer Friedrich der Grosse and was met in the harbor by Prince Helie de Sagan, who arrived in England a few days ago and hurried hither to welcome Madame Gould. The steamer came into-the harbor at 6 in the morning and the prince was one of the first to go on board. He rushed to Madame Gould’s cabin, met her at the door, lifted his hat and kissed her hand. The prince refused to be inter- viewed or make any statement. The tutor of Madame Gould’s children, however, in a brief interview said: “Rest assured that the marriage will occur, but nobody can say when or where. My conviction rests on what I have seen and heard from Madame Gould. I am sure it is a true love match.” Madame Gould was smiling and ap- parently contented. After the prince had kissed her hand she took him to the salon reserved for ladies, wherc they conversed for half an hour. Madame Gould then took the prince to her cabin, where he met the chil- dren. He kissed them repeatedly. NUMBER OF PEOPLE KILLED Tornado Causes Great Damage in Louisiana.
