We never tire of telling the story of Uneeda Biscuit. We do not believe that lovers of - good, whole- some food ever tire-reading it. Uneeda Biscult are the result of two ideas. That soda crackers could be made better than they had ever been made before. That it was pos- sible to convey them to the home fresh, crisp and clean. The importance of the soda cracker as an article of daily consumption, made this worthy of extraordinary effort. True, many people laughed at the idea of so much thought—tine— labor—capital, being devoted to a soda cracker. But the greatest industries of the greatest country in the world have been developed from smaller things than a soda cracker, and so it seemed worth while to make the best soda cracker that could be made and to place it on the table as good as it had been made. To do the first required the selec- tion of the best materials, of the best equipment,'the highest skill. To do the second upset all traditions. The oldest bakers said there was no way to keep a soda cracker good. Worth Telling NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY That no one expected it any way. That people were satisfied to eat them stale, as they had been in the habit of doing. And so it fell to the lot of younger minds to do this unheard of thing—to keep a soda cracker good until eaten. The result was the creation of the In-er-seal Package with red and white seal. An invention that kept out the air, moisture, dust germs, that first retained the natural flavor of the bis- cuit, keeping it crisp and fresh until it reached the table, and so Uneeda Biscult becameareality. The little thing that seemed hardly worth while became a great thing that seemed hardly possible. To-day over 300,000,000 packages have been consumed by the thought- ful people of this country and the de- mand is ever increasing. That is the story of Uneeda Biscuit. Some day we will tell it over again for the benefit of those who are still ‘satisfied’ with the stale and broken crackers that come ina paper bag, when they can get Uneeda Biscuit, whole, fresh, and clean. } Extracte from secretary of Agricul- ture Geo.

New York, April 8.—The steamer Allegheny, arrived to-day from West ~ Indian and Central American porte brought tidings of an eruption of the | old voleano Del Tierua Firma, in Co- - lumbia, near Galera Zambie, March - 28. The village of Tiojo was de- etroyed and ninety persons were killed and wounded. The night of March 24 flames from the volcano were seen bypassing vessels at a distance of Indiana Postoffice Robbers. Marion, Ind., April 9.—A gang of men attempted to blow open thesafe in the postoffice at Landsville early to-day, but were frightened away. The men ran toward the Clover Leaf tracks, fring their revolvers as they went. A freight train passed in a short time and they boarded it and made their escape. Four youngmen were arrested here as suspects this afternoon. American life from Florida to Ore- gon and the outer world from oe. mn in Seized Norwegian Vessel. Gunners on the lowa Beat World's New Orleans, La., April 10.—Cap- Record. tain Warnecke of the Norwegian steamer David, which has arrived here from Cebia, Spanish Honduras, reports an exciting experience with the Honduran gun boat Tatumbia. The David was off the north coast of Honduras when the Tatumbla hove in sight and commanded the mer- chantman to put into Utilla against the orders of the captain of the David. The Tatumbla was in command of Colonel Vilarde, who put @ halfdozen Honduran soldiers on board the David to insure the proper carrying ont of his orders. The David anchored for the night off Utilla, which is a small island off the northeast coast of Honduras, and left the following day without being aboarded by any troops. Cap- tain Warnecke proceeded to Puerto Cortez harbor and informed Admiral Coghlan of what had happened. Two United States war vessels went at once in search of the Tatumbla, but from last accounts they had not lo- cated the troublesome craft. Pensacola, Fla., April 8.—Another world’s record was lowered here to- day when the battle ship Iowa at target practice off Pensacola made thirty successive hits out of thirty shots with the 6-pound guns. Three gun crews participated, each crew firing ten shots. The range was 1700 yards, and the battle ship was steaming at twelve knots an hour, the target being stationary. Last week the Illinois broke the world’s record with the 13-inch pieces. The feat of the lowa, however, show- ed the markmanship of the gunners to more advantage, for the reason that three crews were engaged. So successful has become the tar- get practice off Pensacola that the navy department has ordered the North American fleet to remain here, postponing the inspection by Admi- wey until the latter_part—of May. Mr. Stevenson Badly Burned. Bloomington, Ill., April 10.—Adlai Stevenson, ex-Vice-President of the United States, lost his hair and mustache and received painful burns on the face, head and hands Wednes- day, while trying to extinguish a fire at his house. The fire started ina bedroom, and Mr. Stevenson was at- tracted by the smoke coming through & transom. When he reached the room the curtains were ablaze. With- out calling for aid, he rushed in to tear down the blazing draperies, and in an instant the hair was singed from his head, his mustache was burned off and his fact blistered. Mr. Stevenson retreated before his clothes caught fire. The-property loss does not exceed $1,000. Two Senate Bills Vetoed. Jefferson City, Mo., April 10.— Governor Dockery withheld his ap- proval from two bills passed by the recent Legislature, and returned each to the Secretary of State Wed- nesday with a veto message attach- ed. Both were Senate bills. One of these bills sought to regu- late street car fare within five miles of the city limits in counties having a population of 175,000, and less than 350,000. Concerning this bill, the Gouernor says: “There are many objections to this bill, but I shall note but ene: It is clearly unconstitutional, because it contains several subjects, but one of which is expreseed in the title. * * * The title of this bill refers only toone subject of — while the bill Robbers Raided the Depot.

J., April 8.—Wilson Fredericks of Dunnellen, who was horribly scalded in the disastrous wreck of the New Jersey Central rail- road near Westfield January 27, his whole body with the exception of his chest, back and neck being a mass of scalds, through continued skin graft- ing is being restored to health. Fredericks is member of Anchor Lodge No. 149, A. F. & A. M., of this city which asked that members of the lodge be given the privilege of sup- plying the skin for the operation. The offer was accepted. Fifty Ma- sons have contributed 1,680 pieces of cuticle. The Number of Injured is Five---Frag- ments Weighing a Ton Were Hurl- ed From the Turret Through The Deck Pensacola, Fla., April 9.—A disas- trous explosion occurred on the bat- tleship Iowa to-day while the vessel was at target practice in the gulf. The forward port 12-inch gun burst from a premature explosion ofa shell twelve feet of the place outside of the turret being demolished. Three men were killed and five injured, two ce riously. The killed: Walter F. Kiele, first- class seaman, St. Charles, Mo. E. L. Purcell, ordinary seaman, Washington. F. L. Berry, gunner’s mate, Las Vegas, N. M, The injured: G. Rothschild, copper- smith; I. F. Tesdell, landsman, Paul Gocht, quartermaster of the firat class; F. Parrucker, gunner’s mate of the third class. The men killed or injured were on the second or gun deck at mess, Three pieces of the exploded gun, each weighing over a ton, passed down- ward through the spar deck, falling upon the men at mess, killing the three named. © The heavy missiles, after passing through the gun deck, continned down to the third deck, where they came in contact with the armored deck, the heavy steel bring: ing them to a stop, thus saving the engineers and firemen, who were at work below. Although the upper decks were cov- ered with men, none of them were seriously injured. The explosion oc- curred just as mess had been sounded. The firing was to have ceased after the shot for the dinner hour. The range had been set and the lowa was steaming along at a speed of twelve knots an hour when the officer in charge of the 12-inch eurret gave orders to .oad and fire. The fuse was eut, the piece charged, breach closed and the word given to fire. Following the report of the gun there was a smithered noise as the shell exploded midway in the gun. Pieces of the bursted gun and shell were scattered broadcast. Three great holes were torn through the deck. Those who were below came on deck, some of them bloody and mutilated, while lying on the floor, crushed almost beyond recognition, were the three unfortunate men. The Massachusetts, six miles distant, was signaled for aid and one of the cut- ters put off with the surgeon and assistant surgeons. The injured men were taken to the hospital and their injuries dressed. The dead were brought to Pensacola. Some claim the explosion was caused by a defec- tive shell, and others think that the frequent firing of the pieces at Cule- bra during the winter, added to the work done here during the past ten days, 80 strained the piece that the force of the charge bursted the gun. Took Petticoats Worth $5,000. New York, April 10.—Five thou- saud dollars’ worth of petticoats were stolen from the oftices of Klatzpo & Mishkend, clothing dealers, 11 Lispenard street. Three men had engaged a whole floor of an office building on Canal street. The rear portions of the two buildings are close together. Last night neigh- bors heard a terrific explosion as though the iron doors were being blown open. Wednesday some of thegoods were found on the roof ofa Lispenard street building and more in the floor leased by the three un- known men. The watchman of the latter building is under arrest.

P P Will take old instruments and machines in exchange for new. Panama, April 9.—A dispatch from Honduras, received via San Salva. dor, announces that General Sierra abandoned Nacaome, and it is be- lieved that he will flee to Salvador. The town of Coray has also been captured by the forces of General Bonilla, and only the Honduran capi- tal, Tegucigalpa, now remains in the power of President Aguliares. ‘General Sierra, on the conclusion of his term as President of Honduras, prevented the reinstatement of Gen- eral Bonilla, who was elected Presi- dent in his stead, and had had Gen- eral Juan Aguliares, his private secretary, proclaimed President of Honduras, and himself appointed commander-in-chief of the army, with extraordinary powers, which office was created for him. General Bonilla thereupon hoisted the standard of rebellion and in the subsequent struggles in the field against General Sierra he has been almost uniformly successful.
