The Absolutely Pure Baking Powder Made of Cream of Tartar, and Free From Alum or Phosphatie Acid Royal Baking Powder renders bread, biscuit, cake and all flour foods finer and more healthful. Baking powders made from alum, phosphates and other harsh, caustic acids are lower in price, but they are injurious to the stomach. “ The injurious effect of alum on the mucous coat of the stomach is positive and beyond dispute; it is both an irritant and an astringent. The use of alum in any article of food or article used in the preparation of food should be prohibited. ” JOHN C. WISE, M.D., Medical Inspector, U. S. Navy.

Indianapolis, October 4—Secretary Freeman, of the state board of Forestry, today sent out a somewhat sensational warning to the farmers of the state calling their attention to the dangers from forest fires and informing them of the law which makes every road supervisor a “forest fire chief, with power to call out all the aid he needs to fight the fire at 11.50 per day for each man. Special warning was given the farmers owning land adjacent to the state forestry reservation, where the state has hundreds of thousands of valuable 1 trees. 1 The trial of Ernst Sanderson, charged with murder, began yesterday before Judge Wa'kins at Bluffton.

His wife and himself will divide their attention between there and hie big farm in this county and they expect to be welcome at either place. Mr. Bracht has proven himself a successful farmer and he will no doubt make his Michigan place one of the finest in that state. One of the best, performances that has ever been given at the opera house in many days was given last evening, when Rowland & Clifford presented James Kyrle McCurdy in "The Old Clothes Man.” The show was out of the ordinary run and 'each character was portrayed in a pleasing manner. Mr. McCurdy, as Solomon Levi, the “Old Clothes Man,” was without doubt the leading feature of the play, and he won for himself a place in the hearts of Decatur theatre goers by his olever work. The entire company was composed of stars, and each and every part was carried out to perfection. The next attraction is "Dora Thorne,” Thursday evening. New York. October 4—Wall street reports today that representatives of the trolley line projected between Dayton and Fort Wayne which was promoted some three years ago by Samuel F. George, of Dayton, and now revived, are organizing a syndicate of financiers here with capitalists and investors both from New York and Boston to complete the finance, construe tion and equipment of the road, which is to be known as the Cincinnati, Dayton and Fort Wayne railway. W. E. Farlow & Co., well known Broad street bankers, here and of Chicago, are stated to be largely interested and will head the syndicate, the organiaztion of which is stated to be nearly completed. It is understood that the road is to be built and equipped in the best possible manner-for fast traffic. The Daily Student, a paper published in the interest of the Bloomington State University, published the following account Saturday of how an Adams county boy proved bis ability as a. political fence builder: “The trick was turned on the city politicians yesterday afternoon when Merlin Dunbar, from the rural districts of Adams county, went into the Freshmen barb caucus and carried things by storm. Mr. Dunbar was here during the past summer and has been quietly preparing for his coup of yesterday With a machine at his back he selected his own chairman and dictated the rest of the ticket. A bout fifty Freshmen were present and today considerable displeasure is being expressed by those who were not on the inside ring, and there is some talk of declaring the nomination void. But as usual in these cases there are always some who can not have things their own way, and those who opposed the machine are talking of putting a rival candidate in the field. Freshmen politics is a rather uncertain proposition and trouble is jn store for al! who enter. The following ticket was nominated and a'commitk- appointed to arrange tne date’ of election with Dr. Bryan: Merlin Dunbar, president; Ben Reese. New Albany, vice president; Margaret Cook, secretary. No scrap captain was nominated, but Louis Simons, of Louisville, is a candidate.”

Yesterday at St. Mary’s Cath.olio church, at eight o'clock, oo- ‘ curred the wedding of Miss Mar- | guerite Kortenbraer, daughter of , Mrs. Herman Kortenbraer. to AnI drew Wolpert, son of Mrs. Joseph ' Wolpert, who resides just west of i this city. The ceremony was peri formed by Father Wilken, and was a quiet affair, no one being present ' except the immediate relatives and a few intimate friends of the con traoting parties. Immediately after the ceremony a wedding breakfast was served at the home of the bride’s mother, at which only the relatives were present. Both of the young people are popular in their crowd, and have a host of friends. They will make their future home with the groom’s mother. The Democrat extends con gtraulations. Indianapolis, October 4—Mrs. Dr. Etuma Cullop, whose name has been connected repeatedly with the Sarah Schafer murder case at Bed ford, because Miss Eva Love submitted to treatment at her office, was placed on trial today before the state board of medical registration to defend herself on the charges filed against her by Detective Robert Owens, whose affidavits assert that she was guilty of wrongful conduct. Miss Love, it will be remembered, was Miss Schafer’s room mate, and Owen's version of her murder was that she knew a secret about Miss Love and a prominent Bedford society man, and that she had this secret in writing, that because she refused to deliver this secret she met her death. It is practically conceded that Miss Cullop’s license will not be revoked by the board, as it is not believed the evidence will warrant it. In a recent bulletin sent out from the office of F. A. Cotton, superintendent of public instruction, the ideal teacher is spoken of as follows: “Perhaps some of the qualities of the ideal’Jteacher have already been sufficiently emphasized. And yet there are some things that can not be said tco often. The ideal teacher will have chosen hi, work and conscientiously prepared for it. He will be patient, and cheerful, and kind in school and out. He will keep full control of himself and will neither give way to anger nor indulge in deadly sarcasm. Sarcasm is the oruelest of all weapons to be used with little children. It is not only cruel but dangerous. It hardens the heart instead ofjstimulating the wise to be good; it makes the child stubborn instead of gentle and obedient; it sears, and blisters, and withers, and defeats its very ends; it introduces into the young and tender soul resentment and hatred and bitterness, when there should be patience, sorrow, gentleness and love.” The ideal teacher will be a student of books, and nature, and men. He may be found in the smallest, humblest school house in the township, but he can not be kept there. The demand for ideal teachers is always greater than the supply.” Quite a number of old soldiers from this county are at Marion today, attending a reunion of the eighty-nineth Indiana regiment. | Speaking of the event today’s Marion News-Tribune says: “Old soldiers from all parts of the middle west, veterans of 89th Indiana regiment, began arriving to attend the reunion of that regiment, which beeins here today. The meeting will last two days, but the feature of it all will be the great banquet and camp fire, which will be held in the banquet room in the Odd Fellows’ building this evening The fifteen veterans of the cld 89th who still survive in Grant county, directed by Lank Baldwin, president of the association, have worked loyally for two weeks making preparations for the meeting, and they declared last night that eveything is in readiness for the best banquet and entertainment which has ever been offered the 89th regiment of Indiana volunteers. Among the good things which have been prepared is a chicken potpie which will contain forty chickens. Two pigs furnished by Bart McClain, whose father lest his life in the battle of Chattanooga, dressed and boiled by Jesse Ballard of the Ballard Cold Storage company, and baked by William Fagan in his oig oven on Adams street. Among those ‘who have already arrived in the city to attend the reunion is John Wright of Traverse City, Mich., an old resident of this county, and a member iof Company C of the regiment.”
