Baking Powder
Highest Honor* Awarded
by tbeWoHd’* Colum¬
bian Exposition,
Chicago, 1893*
World’s Fair J
Medal and Diploma
awarded to
Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder
The highest award was given on every claim, comprising
superiority in leavening power, keeping properties, purity and
excellence. This verdict has been given by the best jury
ever assembled for such a purpose, backed by the recommend-
r.tion of the Chief Chemist of the United States Department
of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., who made an elabor
ate examination and test of all the baking powders. This
is pre-eminently the highest authority on such matters in
America.
This verdict conclusively settles the question and
proves that Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder is
superior in every way to any other brand.
NOT*.-The Chief Chemist rejected the Alum baking powder*, etati*f
t$ the Werid’* Fair jury that he coaaidered them uawholeeone.

desperado whom he was trying to ar¬
rest, who, after being informed that
death, from the wouud was inevitable,
made a confession to the killing of Mrs.
Jane Lilly in this city about the first of

In his Mr. Sturgis says that
there were others who heard the confes¬
sion of the negro as he told of tho mur¬
der of the the old lady. Mr. until Sturgis thought that

Meyers was accused of the killing.
• The murder of Mrs. Jane Lilly oc¬
curred the first week in May. It was
one of the most horrible as well as one
of the most mysterious ever committed
in the state. It was found that she had
been choked to death with a large pair
of iron tongs.
Since then no clue to the deed has
ever bpen found and all attempts to fix
the crime on any one have been futile.
MRS. BEE CHER SWINDLED.
Sb* Said Rha Hoped th. Swindler Would
Not be Csnght.
New York, Oct. 2.— Mrs. Beecher,
widow of Henry Ward Beecher, gave
an order for a book of travels to George
W. Shafer, an agent, a few days ago.
He was to call at her residence and get
the money, and also a testimonial which
Mrs. Bedeher had agreed to write if she
tpproved Beecher's or the book.
Mrs. sight is very poor, and
when a strange man called and repre¬
sented himself as Shafer, she did not
notioe the deception, but gave him a
check for $2.25. The fellow bad the
check cashed at Wolf’s grocery where
Mrs. Beecher is known. Later the real
Shafer called and the fraud was discov¬
ered. Payment on the cheek was stop¬
ped, the but Mrs. Beecher will make good
amount to the grocer.
She said she hoped the swindler would
not be caught.

fulfillment of the promise made by the
navy department to send the exhibits

It has been found that the Machias
will be delayed at the New York yawl

Detroit is practically ready to sail from
Norfolk by the end of this week, the
state department has been notified to
deliver the boxes to tho ship.
The collections will leave Washing¬
ton Thursday, in all probability, under
guard of a force of marines or regular
army soldiers, and will be delivered to
the commander of the Detroit, together
with letters of thanks from the presi¬

forwarded pope, by the having depart-met already been

Washington, Oct. 2. —It is rather ex¬
traordinary to find two campaign com¬
mittees of opposite parties making vig¬
orous use of the same material to catch
votes. That is what the Republican

tees are doing. A yankee congressman

Mr. Piggott, for he was the congress¬
man with the head for figures, put into
The Record an interesting analysis of
these Populist bills.
And this speech of Mr. Piggott’s is
what both congressional committees are
sending out by the thousands.
“Nothing so effective to the way of
campaign literature for this Populist hands
ridden country has come into mv

noil, the chairman of the Republican
committee for the First Nebraska dis¬
trict. “If the Republican committee

Within an hour and 15 minutes the
