Powder
Absolutely Pure
Makes hot breakfast-breads wholesome—no
yeast germs, no alum. Makes cake, biscuit
!t and pastry of superior fineness, flavor and deli-
I cacy. Makes food that will keep moist and
\ sweet. Is most economical, because it is the'
f purest and greatest in leavening strength. In
the easy, expeditious preparation of the finer
cakes and pastries, Royal is indispensable.
Care must be taken to avoid baking powders made
from alum. Such powders are sold Cheap, because
they cost but a few cents per pound. Not only
will they spoil the cake, but alum is a corro
sive acid, which taken in food meaus injury to health.

Threshing Wet Wheat-
A good many farmers in this
Ltion are having their wheat
threshed while it is wet, which mil
lers say is a great mistake, as it is
[easier to dry it in the bundle than
after it is threshed out.
[ After being threshed it requires
I large floor space to spread it out
properly and very few tarmers are
prepared to handle it. The millers
kill not buy it while it is wet, as
[they have no place to dry it, and
bsay it is better to let it remain in
the shock until we can get a few
days of sunshine to dry it out before
it is threshed. ___
Mrs. H. E. Felton has returned
[from a vtiajt to her mother at Rome.

JAPAN IS NOW IN READINESS.
Sending Force Into China and
Other Countries Following-
Missionary Murdered.
Washington, July i. —It is be
coming apparent to diplomas in
Washington that behind the inter
national concert prevailing with
respect to China, interested nations
are quietly pulling wires to ascer
t in where each will stand when
consideration is given to the ques
tion of the future government of
the Celestial Empire.
It is known that Japan has been
sounding the United States and
Great Britain to ascertain the po
sitions they will take in the event
of certain contingencies growing
out of any underhand policy Rus
sia may adopt. There is reason to
believe that Great Britain has been
equally zealous in making inquir
ies on this p'dnt, and Germany
likewise has not been behind hand.
One of the most important results
of Japan’s representations to Sec
retary Hay has been that he has
informed the Tokio Government
that the United States Government
has, individually, no objection to
her placing as many troops in
China as may be necessary to set
tle the trouble. Japan has ap
proached other European powers
to ascertain their views as to her
intention to send an army into
China, but the result can only be
inferred.
movements of troops.
It is.iearued on authority that
besides reenforcing her squadion
at Taku, Japan has mobilized a di
vision of between 17,000 and 20,000
men. As she has an effective force

of 3,000 men already in China, it
will be seen that she will soon be
represented by a military force
larger than that of any other pow’er.
France is said to be contemplating
the dispatch of 8,00 men to Taku.
Russia has already sent 4,000 and
will send more. Great Britain is
also expected to dispatch strong
reenforcements to Taku. The
United States have thus far given
orders to 2.400 men to proceed to
China, and Will send more if ne
cessary. It is estimated by well
informed diplomats that the inter
national force in China or under
orders numbers between 40,000
and 50,000 men.
Germany’s attitude has been a
matter of considerable speculation.
If Baron von Ketteler has been
murdered, it is altogether probable
that Germany will declare war and
severely punish the Chinese gov
ernment.
“At this moment,'’ said a well
informed European diplomat,
“Germany is moving with the
other Powers in the direction of
restoring peace and order, and pro
perty. She has enough territory
in China. She undoubtedly de
sires the preservation of the empire,
and from what we now know will
support the American government
in such a policy.”
PESSIMISTIC VIEW.
There is no doubt that members
of the Diplomatic Corps take
rather a pessimistic view of the in
ternational situation. They are
fearful that the suspicions of Japan
against Russia, and vice versa, may
precipitate development which will
involve these powers in war, and
perhaps draw into the conflict
other nations whose interests might
become endangered.
This possibility has been im
pressed upon the administration,
and it has been urged to take the
1 lead in settling the Chinese ques
tion. A vigorous policy on the
part of the American government
would it is said, receive the sup
port certainly of Great Britain and
Japan,fprobably of Germany, and
Russia would have to accede to
it-
Up to this time France has been
actihg indenendentlv of Russia,
making every effort to oil the
wheels of diplomacy so that it will
be possible for the powers to move
harmoniously in disposing of the
Chinese question.
Baron von Ketteler. German
Minister to Pekin, was killed by
Chinese native troops on June iS
He was 011 his way to the Chinese
Foreign Office at the time and died
in that building.
A high Chinese official at Pekin
has got news through to the Con
suls at Shanghai that the situation
is beyond control of the Dowager
Empress,and that tile other Minis
ters of the Powers were besieged
and not expected to hold out anoth
er day. This was on June 26.
All the legations in Pekin, save
those in Germany, France and
Great Britain,hav# been destroyed.
Prince Tuan is said to have tak
en possesion of the imperial palace ;
and the persons of the Emperor •
and Empress Dowager, and to have
gained supreme control. This
news is of the greatest significance, ,
as Tuan is leader of the anti-foreign
element. ,
Edicte have gone forth from Pe
kin to the Viceroys throughout Chi
na to destroy all foreigners, but j
these, according to official dispat
ches from Shanghai,have not been
obeyed.
The allied forces at Taku are
bending every effort to get
troops to Pekin to relieve the for
eigners there.
Commander Keys has blown up
a fort on the Hei-Ho River, thus
opening river communication be
tween Taku and Tien-Tsin.
A Card.
I desire to express my heartfelt 1
taanks to those friends who extendd
their kindness, goodness and sym
pathy during my recent great loss
and the trial through which I have
had to pass. They will each be
held in grateful remembrance and
may the Divine Ruler bless them
all.
