Respect your Stomach GIVE' ic food that will not irritate or retard the performance of its natural functions, and it will reciprocate in a way agreeable and comforting. . No single ingredient contributes so i largely toward wholesome, nourishing, agreeable food as Royal Baking Powder. Royal Baking Powder’s active ingredient, Grape Cream of Tartar, is the most healthful of the fruit products. This is why Royal Baking Powder makes the food finer, lighter, more appetizing and anti-dyspeptic, a friend to the stomach and good health. Imitation Baking Powders Contain Alum “The use of alum and salts of aluminaTiT food should be PROHIBITED.

FRIDAY Mrs. A. E. Brown went to Lfayette today for a several days’ visit with her son who resides there. Miss Bessie Moody arrived home today from California where she spent the winter with relatives. Dr. and Mrs. Wallace Parkinson of Boswell returned home today, after a short visit with the doctor’s parents Mr. and Mrs. tT . E. Parkinson, of northeast of town. George Settle, a young fellow who has been wcrking for John Poole for some time left for his home at Haskell, Teni., today, being called home by (h i serious sickness of his mother. At the Ellis Opera House tonight The Maude Henderson Co., will appear in the beauttful six act Military Drama, “A Celebrated Case.” A refined moral intense plot, beautiful costumes, from the original plate of the 17th century. A play you will always remember. Mothers bring your daughters. A young society woman at Hartford City has invented a new form of social function. It is an “incubator party,” the guests being in vited to watch the hatchin , out of an incubator full of eggs. The next thing we hear from the gas belt will be that some ultra fashionabl lady in Muncieor Kokomo, is going Hartford City one better by inviting her friends to a stork party. Tie Maude Henderson Co. gave a fine rendiction of the beautiful four pastoral drama, the Whirlwind,” at the opera last evening. This was one of the b«3t produced so far, the part of 1 " "4 —JT'M .

Rosamond was well rendered by Mis- Hughes and also wai the character of Brabazon portrayed by Mr, E. Primrose. In fact all character are wor thy of comment, tney are deserving better houses. Frank Constantine, the young murderer whose picture has hub? so long in the post-office here, has been captured at last in Kew York and will be brought to Chicago for trial. He does not deny his identi ty but has fixed a halfway plausible story to the effect that Mrs. Gentry, the pretty young woman he mnr dered, committed suicide in his presence. That he is guilty, there is no sort of doubt. A. J. Brenner, the recently re tiriug landlord of the Makeever House, now traveling iu the southwest with his wife, for the benefit other health, will on May Ist take charge of the well kuown Mon nett hotel, at Evanston, 111. This is a very fine hotel and was built a a number of years ago by Miss Almira Monnetr, and for some time past has been managed by her brother Fletcher Monuett. Mr. Brenner is a fine hotel man and will no doubt make a success of his Evanston venture. Undertaker Wright did not take the body of Mrs. Johu Groom to Attica, as at first intended, but left it in care of an undertaker at Lafayette, aud with the expectations that she would be buried there in accordance with the wishes of a daughter, by her previous marriage, a Mrs Simuis, who lives at Lafayette, tho it was Mrs. Groom’s wish to be buriod at Attica. Great trouble was experience in getting iu communication with Mrs. Simms, as the family refused to auswer telephone calls, and even denied that they were the parties wanted, aud the Lafayette chief of police had to be called on to go down and talk with them before they would consent to be communicated with.

The largest verdict in a personal injury case cv6r given in this judicial circuit, was awarded at Keutlaud, last Wednesday. Theodore K. Long, a Chicago attorney, was the plaintiff and the Big Four railroad the defendant. He was in a wreck at Earl Park, Benton county, in January 1905, and severe ly hurt, as well as pinned under the wreckage several hours, in his night clothes, with a 10 below zero temperature. He sued for $>50,000 aud the jury gave him $26,000. The Euterprise seems to thinkg

that while Mr. Long’s injuries may have contributed a little towards securing the large verdict, the chief cause was the astute work of his leading attorney, the eloquent and wiiy Dan Fraser, of 'Fowler. John May, the once noted Klondike gold mine owner, and one of the mighty few men from thus regioo who ever made u any money at gold mining, left for Worlaud, Wyoming a few days ago after severaj weeks visit with his father A 1 May. south east of town, and other relatives in White and Jasper counties. He sold out most of big miniug in terests some time ago and now owns a big department store at Worland, which is also said to be a gold mine for turning out profits. James L. Alter, the famed Hoosier Traveler, has pretty near ly stayed in his own door yard this winter, J- in a traveling sense, as compared with his usual winter trips. Thus he has spent all his time in those comparatively close by states, Georgia, Alabama, Mis sissippi, Kentucky, Teunessee and Arkansas. At last accounts he was visiting a ieiative, Dr. W. M. Alter, at Eugland, Ark., and a former resident of Jasper county. James L. finds Alters wherever he goes. aud generally a Dr. Alter. Jimesbythe way has turned his attention away from his regular business of traveling and writing poetical descriptions of his travels, to inventing. He has sent in applications for seven patents since January, aud one of them is a boat which he thinks will run a mile a minute, and operated by common fan wheel blowers.

SATURDAY Edson Murray and Tess Marshall are visiting their former schoolmate, Thomas Hollingsworth, in Chicago, daring the vacation. Mrs. Frank Maloy and children, of Lowell, came down today, for a few days visit with her mother and other relatives. Hiram Day bas just returned from Gary and reports all binds of work going on there. He took a job of plastering and will go up to begin it next week. He expects after he gets'started in there will be all the work he can do there. Capt. B. T. Simons, of the 4th U. 8. infantry, of Fort Tnomas, Ky., made the annual inspection of men and property of Company M Friday. Every article of proper ty showed up in good shape except three or four hats. There were 46 men in line at the inspection.

Ross Dean has returned to Bloomington today, to resume his course in the state university, interrupted for a year or two while Ross was accumulating some necessary surplus in his bank account. Ross is the right stuff 1 and will get there sure enough. Thompson & Smith will resume work on the stone roads next Monday, but at present have teams enough in signt for only one crasher, which is all they start up at this time. They will work on the road south of town, and also on some of the city streets, working on the latter when the weather makes the country roads bad. Ex Congressman Frederick LaDdis of yesterday signed a contract to lecture at various chautauquas this,summer. The lecture platform is by no means new to the retired Eleventh District Congressman. For the past several years he has been popular with chautauquas, devoting a great part of his congressional vacation to public addresses of this character.

Wm. Clift, a veteran of the civil war, and a member of the3lst Indiana regiment, was exhibiting today a much prized relic of war times. It was one of tnoee dinky little good-for-nothing caps the private soldier had to wear in ! those days, and was the first one issued to him. Fortyfive years ago today, at the battle of Shiloh, he with his regiment, was down on his knees peering over a bank at the Johnnies not far away, when one of their ballets struck tho leather band of this cap in a glancing manner tearing the band nearly to pieces, and breaking the skin of Mr. Clift’s forehead, but not injuring him farther than to make him unconscious for some hours.

Jasper county hens got giDgered up so well by the early Easter that they have been working over-time ever since and are producing eggs faster than cars can be to haul them away, and B. S. Fendig has enough now on bauds to load two cars. He has so many in tact that he has no room inside his building to store them all in and has t-everal hundreds of car-es piled up out on the side-walk. There was a better house witnessed the production “A Celebrated Case.’’ by the Maude Henderson Co., last night, than there has been ; during the entire week of their engagement here. They are a good company and certainly do deseive better houses than they have been having. Tonight, by request of a numb, rof people who witnessed the production wheu this company made a previous visit here, they will play “Slaves of the Orient,” The quesfidu has been considerably discussed as to just how long a time Tom McCoy will have to stay at Michigan City. His sentence was the regular one for embezzlement, of from one to three years. This means that unless the board of pardons or the governor acts on his case for some special reasons, which is not likely, that he will have to stay there-about 18 months, provided he makes the best record for good, conduct and obedience to rules. This he is practically certain to do, and next fall Tom will no d.iubt walk forth a free mau.

The Franeesville Tribune says that there is now a good prospect for the old Air Line electric road thru that place being fiuanced and built, and we hope its belief will prove well founded. The Tribune is stil 1 mad at this piper for mentioning how Knowlton, the original promoter of that line, had done the people up, especially at Frauees ville, but the Tribune should remember that this paper spoke encouragingly of the project as long as there was anything to base an encouraging view upon, and even if the line should be again taken up and the road built, the Tribune

snows'an Well as evw*\ body else, that what Kuowlton got bis hooks on is gone lor good, aud u<sver will be recovered. Sheriff O'Connor thinks he may have to send down to Pennsylvania aud get a Philadelphia lawyer who are supposed to be able to unravel the most complicated of legal tangles, to help him find a way out of the trouble he is in about the youug chap, ■* Clyde Gibbous, of Roselawn, held here to await his trial iu a justice’s court at Thayer, on surety-of-the peace proceedings. The hour Tor his trial was set for nine o’clock this, Saturday morning. but uo Newton county official showed up to take him away, and now he is left on the hauds of oar sheriff, and, under, the law, his time of committal having expired, he has no right to keep him any longer, neither has he any legal right to let him go, aud to leave him half in and half out is also impracticable, and he is up against a difficult problem, sure enough. The Monon News was issued this week by the owner, Geo. T. Weeks of Garrett, this state, where he has another paper, and his sister* Mrs. Peetz, of Indianapolis, aud the latter remains in charge of the paper. They state that E. T. Jones and family got out of the place last week aud are supposed to have gone to Momence, 111. The piano con test Mr. Jones has been running has been dropped like a hot brick, aud Weeks will have nothing to do with it. And it is understood that the financial load involved in trying to carry thru this contest is one of the main causes of Mr. Jone’s failure in Monon, tho probably he lacks the quality for close financier ing necessary to make a success of running a paper iu Monon, wnich seems to be about the poorest news paper town in the state, for one of its size. T .F. Knott founder of Gary has been relieved of his position of piopertv agent for the steel trust, tho we are not sure whether that is the right way to spell the word steel, in connection with this gigantic corporation, and H. 8.
