An investigation of the facts concerning the death of Frederick Reichenbach from a pistol shot wound of the head, as published in Satur- day’s Stan, showed plainly that it was a case of suicide. He purchased the revolver at Wal- ford’s store ou Pennsylvania avenue Saturday morning. but when he wrote the farewell let- ter to his wife no one has yet learnod.

His financial prospects were brighter than they had ever been before. He received asalary of $1,400 from the Knabe Piano Company and was also compensated for ringing the chimes in the Metropolitan Church. Tiecentiy there were several cases of typhoid fever in the family and Mr. Reichenbach’s fear of taking the fever, his | wife thinks, had something to do with the tak- ing of his life. Dr. Waiter had ben attending the deceased for some time before his death aud he wus un- well when he left home Saturday morning. Coroner Patterson investigated the case and gave a certificate of death.

It ie announced at Winnipeg, saysa New York Sun diepatch, that both Premier Green- way and Attorney General Martin will retire from the Manitoba provincial government aud that Col. H, McMillan, a member for Cepter Winnipeg and now provincial treasurer, will become premier. Greenway has been driven from his high place by the scandals which have been connected with his private life. The cli- max has been reached by the filing of aftida- yits with the attorney general by Abraham Johnson, lessee of # portion of the Nicollet Hotel. ‘The affidavits say that during the winter Premier Greenway was in the habit of fre- queuting the Nicollet Hotel in Winnipeg for the purpose of meeting disreputable women. Greenway was abetted’ in his claniestine meetings by O'Connor, the owner, who, it is said, made the arrangements ahead of time. Greenway has not been down town since the scandal became public. He sieepsand takes his moals at the parliament buildings. One of his colleagues said the premier is tak- ing the trouble so seriously to heart that bis hair is turning gray. He basa large family, who live at Crystal City, in southern Manitoba, All sorts of rumors are in dirculation regard- ing the probable composition of the new cabi- net. Itis pretty generally conceded that Me- Millan will be the head of the government and that Clifford Lifton of Brandon and Isaac Campbell of South Winnipeg will have good portfolios. CITY ITEMS.

(U. S. Government Report, Bulletin No. 13, page 564) “Two important studies of the composition and character of baking powders have been made recently, one under the direction of the Ohio Dairy and Food Commis- sion, and.the other by the Dai of New Jersey.” “I regret,” ry Commissioner of the State the chief Chemist adds, in a foot-note, “that it [the Canadian Government Report] appeared too late to allow of the incorporation into the present publication of any of the results and conclusions contained in it.” “ Work done in this way, which has the authority and weight of offici al sanction, is most valuable, and I have drawn largely upon the reports above men- tioned.” Then follow liberal extracts from the official reports of Ohio and New Jersey, and the investigations of the Gov- ernment Chemist, the whole instructive resumé of the p presenting an unbiased and resent knowledge of baking powders. As a baking powder company is boldly adver- tising that this official report shows its powder “ highest in quality and the leading baking powder of the world,” it is simple justice to give the exact facts.
