THE HARPER INVESTIGATION.

Tha Committee Appointed by the Courts Make* Its Report. Judge B. E. Rhoads, Judge S. B. Davis and Attorney J. E. Piety, who were ap pointed a committee to investigate the trouble between T. W. Harper and Elmer E. Marshall, the latter of Indianapolis, have filed their report. Sixty-two pages of testimony were taken, and there was no cross examination of witnesses. The report consists five paragraphs, and contains nothing which has not been laid before the public before. It does not state who struck the first blow, and expresses no opinion as to the guilt or innocence of either party.

A report was filed in both courts, and as soon as the evidence has been examined carefully by the judges it will be aeter mined whether further proceeding will be taken or the matter allowed to drop. If it is decided to proceed one or more members will be appointed to prosecute, and a trial to disbar will follow. It is quite probable that nothing further will be heard of the case.

A Pure lUlclig Powder.

A Unking powder that can be depended upon to be free from lime and alum is a dlsideratum in these days of adulterated food. So far as can be judged from the official reports, the "Royal" seems to be the only one yet found by chemical analyses to be entirely without one or the other of these sabstaaces, and absolutely pure. Ibis, it is shown, results from the exclusive use by its manufacture* of cream of tartar specially refined and prepared by patent procetffsew which totally remove the tartrate of lime and other Imparities. The cost of the chemically pure o^eam of tartar in much greater than any other, and it is u*ed in no baking pewder except the "Royal," the manufacturers of which control the patents under which It is reSned.

Dr. Edward Q. Lot*, formerly analytical chemist for the U. 8. Government, who made the analyses for the Sew York State Board of Health in their inrealisation of baking powders, and whose intimate knowledge of the Ingredients of jail those sold to this market enables him to speak authoritatively, says of the parity, wholeeomeneas,

and superior quality of the "Royal:" •'I find the Royal Baking Powder composed of pure and wholesome ingredients. It is a cream of tartar powder, and does .not contain either alum or jbhosphates, or other injurious substnioe."

Prof. Love's tests and the recent official tests by both the United States and Canadian Governments, show the Royid Baking Powder to be superior to all others in strength and leavaning power. It is not only the most economical in use, but makes the purest, finest flavored and most wholesome

We Want to Attract Tour Attention!

We have the goods that talk for themselves. As we have determined to increase our sales on Overcoats and Suits 100 per cent, over the same month last year, hence the low prices. Now Gentlemen, Don't Get Left for we mean business and if you don't come among the first you will not get first pick. We propose to reduce our mammoth stock of

Overcoats and Suits

Right at the beginning of the season, instead of waiting till half the winter is over and then making a reduction when most people are supplied or think they will make the old garment last the balance of the season. We want you to buy a new overcoat now and wear it all winl ter to get the good of it. We wish to

Call Your Special Attention

The Ideal Baking Powder f( is Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder.

For more than fifty years Cream of Tartar and Bicarbonate of Soda have been used for leavening purposes with sufficient flour added to preserve the strength of the powder unimpaired, and this with the addition of whites of eggs comprises this pure and wholesome

agent, that has been the standard for 40 years. In its use pure, wholesome and delicious food is always assured. Makes cake and biscuit that retain their moisture, and while they are flaky and extremely light they are fine grained, not coarse and full of holes as made with ammonia baking powders, latter dries up quickly. Alum powders leave a bitter taste in the bread or cake. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder once used, always used.
