Prof. Hatnf.s, of Rush Medical College, Consulting Chemist Chicago Board of Health : “ I find the Royal Baking Powder superior to all the others in every respect.” Dr. H. A. Mott, U. S. Government Chemist: “ The Royal is undoubtedly the purest and most reliable baking powder made.” Prof. Palmer, University of Illinois: “I find Royal Baking Powder invariably composed of wholesome ingredients, entirely' free from adulteration or impurities of any kind." San Francisco Board of Health: “In our judgment it is impossible to make a purer or stronger baking powder than the Royal." j. , The N. Y. State Analyst: “The Royal Baking Powder is superior to any other powder which I have examined." The Minnesota State Chemist: “I consider the Royal one of the best baking powders made.” Wisconsin Food Commissioner: “Royal Baking Powder is of high and uniform strength and quality; its ingredients pure and wholesome.” Indiana State Chemist : “ Royal Baking Powder is perfectly free from any deleterious or injurious substance." Avoid all baking powders that require larger cans than the Royal to hold an equal weight. This is sure evidence of their adulteration. '> • ( ' i iii mm • — - 'i

Burned to Death. Last Sunday often oon while Thomas Hudson, who lives over the r ver, was out to his farm feeding, he left his mother who is 86 years old alone in the house. When he returned he found his mother in flames. How the old lady caught lire is unknown. Mr. Hudson put out the flames as soon as possible, and called Dr Thomas, who Relieved her sufferings as much as possible, but pronounced the case fatal. Mrs. Hudson died Monday morning. The old lady was in good l\eftl th, and many who knew her had predicted that ■he would live to be a centenarian. The funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church on Tuesday afternoon. Force Them Out. Scientists tell us now that the best and safest way to cuie diseases of the blood and skin is to force.out through the skin microbes or germs which produce disease. In this matter Swift’s Specific has been about sixty years in advance ci medical science, as it has for that length of ttme been curiag blood and skin diseases, by eliminating the*gerrns and pcison through the pores ot the skin,. S. S. S. does this effectually, safely and quickly. It is entirely a vegetable compound, and harm- .. ' less to the most delicate child. W. C. Curtis, editor of the Mecklenburg News, at Boydton, Va., satft that he , has been entirely relieved from an abscess which formed in his throat, and caused intense pain, almost choking him. He could notiwallow solid food, and was in a most painful condition. He says that he took only three bott es and that it efy' fected a complete cure.

On Saturday afternoon a young man was struck by ths south bound passenger train and knocked from the track but the train was so nearly stopped that he was not seriously injured. ■— ■ — — ’ Married Woman’s Rights. The Supreme Court of Indiana ha* decided that when a woman having children by a first husband, and holding real estate by descent from him, has married and been divorced from the second husband, there is no restriction upon her disposal of such real estate, and a conveyance of It by her, either voluntary or for a consideration by warranty deed passes the entire fee. And where ihe married the divorced husband and the land is conveyed to her she holds it under such conveyance and not by descent, and a mortgage given by her and her husband on it is valid. And the fact that the divorce was procured by collusion between herself and busband to enable her to raise money on the land dees not effect the rights while the decree of divorce remains in free. He Lied, So He Did. We are now industriously looking for that individual who, without any regard whatever for “truth and veracity,” prophesied that cold weather, as soon as it arrived, would put, a stop to la grippe. When we find.him, if we ever do, ws' shall slay him without the slightest compunction. A liar ot such magnitude has no right to live. The cold weather has no more apparent effect upon la grippe than doctor’s stuft seems to havp. The grip will doubtless stay until it get* ready To let go. - —Si, . Now Try Tms.

POLK’S ADDRESS. Continued from hist Wfidt. He has resolved topresent hiscare he. f,.ie the supreme tribunal oT public opinion and a»k for its decision through the ballot-lM>x. Appealing with confidence to that lofty sense of justice and exalted pa- ’ trlotism which, in all times of peril, have proved to be the crowning glory of American character, his pleadings r.hall not be In vain. A re-adjustment Os these conditions so as best to subserve-a uniform, healthful and harmonious growth of all thh elements of our civilization, is tne sublime office of Christian sta esrnansbip—the supreme duty of th r hour. That existing conditions are not to be ascribed to indoler.ee or thriftless improvidence on the part of our farmers, We point to their broad and well tilled fields and the abundant harvests which crown their ton), and which, with an exception of two years, have furnished annually since 1850, over 70 per cent ot all our domestic exports. Is it due to over production? The broad world is our market and its teething millions our ready customers, and all over our own fruitful and God favored land gaunt hunger, poverty and distress stalk unconcealed and appalling. These are the conditions and this the situation which confront, us as a people, and they must be met. OCR DEMANDS. Tallent ly,. and uncom pliiningly the farmers of tbe country toiled and struggled against the aggressive approach of invading poverty, and hoped in vain for aid and succor at the hands of those to whom they had confidingly en trustid the guardianship of their interests. Addressing themselves anxiously and earnestly to the causes of the anomalous condition of affairs and aided by the light of history, they reached the solemn and deliberate conviction, that these oppressive conditions and environments are due to unjust and discriminating national leg islation. Upon and in accordance with conviction, they formulated.their demands at St. Louis in 1889, and laid them before congress. These demands were reiterated and re.ffirmed- by us at Oca a, Fla , in 1890, and while that bodv was yet in Ses stun. They were discussed by the pec pie with anjnterest and earnestness seldom given to any subj ct in all our history, They were advocated and indorsed bycur older with a unanimity unparalleled in popular agitation. For the first time tn the history of the country the tillers of the toil, through their accredited representatives and bypetition, appeared at the door of our National capitpl and asked sorrel-es. Under instructions from your body, a bill was formulated and presented to congress While no measure was ever presented to congress with stionger endorsement or jnore earnest unanimity, yet we accompanied it with this declaration: “We submit this b ll with due deierence to the intelligence, judgement and wisdom oi your body. We do not claim that it is the best or only measure through .which relief may be brought to our oppressed, suffering,-and distressed people, but we submit it as the best we have been able to devise. We would be only too happy to receive at your hands a better measure. But these suffering millions must have relief. They ass tor bread and they will not be content with a stone. They are not asking for charity, but they are demanding justice." How was this fair, frank, earnest, re spectful and reasonable appeal of the people received by that body! This first appeal from those, who, while owning less than 22 per cent of the wealth of the country and a large proportion of which is encumbered with debt, yet who pay four filths of all the taxes—from those to whose generous but misplaced confidence a majority of the members of that body were indebted for their seats —how was this appeal of the sovereign people received? Was their bill discussed by the committees to whom it was referred? No. Wes it reported to either house, either favorably ot adversely? No. Was any reso « lution offered in the senate calling for a report? No. Was any amendment proposed to the bill? No. Was any substitute ottered for it? No. What "became of the bill and petitions of a halt million farmers asking for its passage? They were quietly laid away to sleep the sleep ot eternal legislative death. And what was the answer to these appeals and petitions? They served dniy to elicit denunciation, misrepresentation, ridicule, slander and abuse. Virtually, the answer to us was: "You do not know your needs. Go back to your homes—work hardet and live closer and keep out of politics, , and all will be well." Was it just, was it generous, was it kifid, was it eyen respectful Jo thus spurn this first and earnest appeal of in oppressed and suffering people? Have thesp mpn, who are indebted to the people. lor whatever of piqmiucnce and official dignity and power ;|iey may enjoy—h ive they forgotten that they are the servants and rot t"e in: sters of the people?

But in justification <>* Hie *i etit contempt which chiiractrWizetl Hu- ncfptlonol this measure (ind with I 1 • artfulness, soph stry, and adroitnesa of skilled delnagogury —assault*—vehement and pcrcistcnt assault* on it* minute t details, have bren substituted for manly argument as toils underlying principles But the discussion and investigation of air demands ha- added constantly to their favor and strength, until to-day they stai I as the unquafifi 1 expression of the set tlment of our order in thirty four states of the union. More and more are the great mas es cf the people learning to comprehend the duties, functions and power* pf the gov ernment a* their generd agent. What right has that geneial agent to issue the people's money to c rporations at a cost of 1 per cent, and li.ense tho>e corporations to loan ft to the people at a cost of 8 to 24 per cent? We believe wi'h John C. Calhoun—that the people should not be required to pay interest on government credit while said credit coutd be extended to them without interest. We believe with Thoma* Jefferson— that “the power to issue money should be taken from the banks and restored to the people and to congress, to wl.icli it rightfully belongs.” We believe with James G Blaine, not only that “the oiiesfrfective element io the national bank system is that.il re? quires the permanence ot national debt as the ba-is of existence," but that any such system is inherently false and wrong and can not be justified on any principle of jusdee or equity. Touching our present system, we entirely agree with the laie Secretary Windom, in his last utterances on the subject when he said thatfina .cial “disaster* have always come when unusual activity in business his caused an abnormal demand for money, as in autumn, for moving our immense crops.” “1 hue will always be,’ said he, “great danger at those times under any cast iron system of currency such as we now have.” We believe the strong language of the MJ 11 Urv Commission, appointed by congie-- in 1876, is fully bU.-Uincd by the ex.x i.nce and al the ibiaucial history of the east. (Page 10 of th.- Report) “An increasing Value o money and falling have ueen an J are moie fruitful ot Inman misery th-n war, pistHenceor famine.” (Page 25 ot report) “A ehriaking volume ot money and tailing prices always have had and always must have ~ tendency to concent: ate wealth, to enrch the lew and to impoverish and degrade the many. This tendency is suotie and portentious throughout the whole country to-day.” We believe that Abiaham. Lincoln cotud have uttered no truer propuecy had his hand and pen bee.i guided oy inspiration, when he wrote: 'The money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the preju dices of the people unt 1 tyl wealth is aggregated in a few bands and the repeblic is cestroyed.” The constitution declares that congress shall have power to regulate commerce among the several states. What are the essential elements or lactors of commerce? Money, transportation and transmission of intelligence. Does congress regulate these? Does congrese regulate money — the value and volume of money? Oigan ized capital demanded that congress should dcgrade>and destroy our legal-ten der currency and-established in lieu thereof national banks ot issue, which should be based alone on interest-bearing government bonds. Congress obeyed. Or gsuiized capital bought the bonds at about half their face value, and thus monopolized the basis of our banking system. Organized capital demanded that congress should tax state banks out of existence. Congress obeyed. Thus capital monopolized the control of the volume of currency. Organized capital demanded that congress should outlaw Iqnd as security for loans from these banks. Congress Obeyed. Thus the securities upon which these banks must be operated were limited, chit fly to stocks, bondsand personal notes, whose values were to be mauipula ted, regulated and dictated by organized capital through its stock exchange in Wall street. Thus the power conferred upon congress by the constitution to regulate money, its value and volume, was virtually surieudered and transterred to capitalistic combination. 7b be ’Real Estate Transfers.
