Did you ever think, there must bo a large pxollt In It somewhere? The manufac turer of a certain baking powder pay out nearly a million dollars or more a year advertising their powder,- trylng jo make people believe it Is the best mado. Their baking powder Is sold at 60c per pound. Tho retailer makes his profit, the Jobber makes his prollt, tho manufacturer makes his prom, and the consumer pays for all these and the newspaper advertising also. What does It cost to manufacture the powder? Other manufacturers give away 25 or 30 cents worth of china, glassware, toys, hardware books, etc., with every pound of baking pow der. Again the query, what docs It cost to manufacture the powder can you think it out? You don't need to. Oirvln, Duncan & Waid ley have a few words on tho baking powder question. Until September 1 wo will sell Penn sylvania Baking Powder at TEN CENTS per pound. It doesn't concern, you whether we make or loso on it wo want to get It intro duced. On and after September 1st our price will not exceed ISoper pound. We are not going to pay a million dollars to advertise it ; we are not going to give away any premiums with It we aro going to sell it. every pound guaranteed, toour customers. If it does not give satisfaction, bring It back and reccivo your money. Why do we say this? Wo expect it will pleaso you. Why should you pay 33 or 40c profit on every pound of powder you buy? Don't forget we strlvo to give our customers tho ndvantago of inside prices at which we buy all sorts of goods. Girvm, Duncan & Waidley, 8 South Main Street. - Fine Goods in Season.

He seems to bo insane and the old lady says she is afraid to enter the bouse. Chief Burgess Smith stated that the case had been reported to him and he had advised legal proceedings.

Mr. McGuire complained that the creek in the First ward had overflowed and damaged the east ond of Centre Btreet. The street committee was instructed to notify the Beading officials. Upon motion of Mr. McGuire the or dinance committee was instructed to pre1 pare an ordinance for the regulation of the grade on East Centre street.

Impressions Editor Hoyer Receives Dur ing? Ills Trip. Editor H. O. Bjyer, of the Herald', It still in the Won and, according to bit letters,! is having a very' enjoyable time: He has mado tho most of the time at his disposal and has1 covered cdnsider&b'o territory. Under date of June 1st he writes that Chicago pretends to bo "some pumpkins," and sbo is. Her buildings are monsters and six and eight story structures are more dwarfs beside them. Tho Palmer, Girard, Pacific and Auditorium are tnreo of the largest hotels in the city and they do an immense business. Through somo misunderstanding, Mr. Bjyer says, he and Leo Bambergor, also of this town, failed to tnako connection, and Loo worried all night, fearing tho editor had fallen into the hands of the Anarchists. They met the noxt morning and everything went smoothly. Sunday is like every other day in the week, says the writer. A visit to the Columbian fair grounds was mado by Mr. Boyor, Mr. Bambergor and 3Ir. Ancona, of Hamburg, Berks county, Pa. Mr. -Bamberger was tho guide, because of bis knowledge of the city. The buildings are very much advanced. Admission' to the grounds can be securod upon payment of 25 cents. It b estimated that from 10,000 to 15,0CO people paid for admission on the day Mr. Boyer visited the grounds. Libby Prison was also visited and an hour or two was spent examining relics of the war, and the Chicago Are. "Bumberger,1 says-Mr. Boyer, "examined the opening of the tunnel under Libby prison where the .Union prisoners attempted to .cape. Ho wanted to' know if the tunnel had been brought from Richmond, Va." From Chicago Mr. Boyer wont to Tip, ton, Indiana, and took part in the oxer, cises in that city on Memorial Da;. Speak- ing of the city Mr. Boyer made special reference to tho streot paving. He says the Main street is paved with brick. The pav ing is now two years old and it is still as good as new. It cost about $1.75 a square foot. First there is a layer of sand, then a Jayer of brick laid flat, then a few inches of sand, and on top is a layer of bricks placed on ends. The road is then roavily rollod. The street is scraped onco or twice a month, according to the season. Frankfort, Ind,, was tho noxt placo Mr. Boyer visited. "When ho was there 15 yeats ago tho placo was but a small villago. It is now one of the prettiest cities in tho state and has a population of 8,000. Speak ing of the advancement of the placo, Mr. Boyer says immense shops of the Clover Leaf railroad are nearing completion, The citizens of tho place gave tho com pany several acres of choico land and suffi cient money to pay for the buildings 00,- 000 in all, and the property owners will make money by the transaction. The poo- pie are farsighted and liberal, and leave nothing undone to further tho growth' and prosperity of the place. Eacli vies with the other in building pretty homes, all of which have ample ground room on all Bides and there is not an unpainted house in the placo. Natural gas is used in place of coal and wood. People who do not own homes and who llvo from hand to mouth are scarce and there isn't a Polo, Hungar ian or Italian in tho place In fact, with very few exceptions, the people aro native born.

THE NEW BOARD ORGANIZED Tho Now Board of School Direc tors Select Oonry for1 President and Hanna for Seoretary. Latter's Salary $200.00. HE old Board of School Directors held an ad journed meeting last evening in -the office of the supenntOndent, in the' High School building, for tho pur pose of settling up the accounts preparatory to tho organization of the now board. Those present were: Bacbman, Brennan, O'Hearn, Butts, Baird, Ogden, "Williams, Trezise, Hanna, Gallagher, Muldoon, Davenport and Gable. In the absence of President Beddall, Patrick Conry presided over tho meeting. Secretary Gable stated that ho had not drawn an order in his favor for corvices, as he refused to accept tho amount provided by tho board, which was 35 for tho town. A communication was read from ex-Tax Collector Schmidt in referonco to tho amount duo the board from the duplicates 'of 1889-00, The board finally decided by motion to allow Mr. Schmidt extra exon 'orations to the amount of $103.3-1. Mr. Davenport stated tho wall at the 'northwest corrier of the Lloyd street school building was in a bad condition, and had been that way' for somo time. The Finance Committee reported that ex Tax Collector Tilman had made a settle ment in full with tho Board, the amount .being $1,109.47.

The Superintendent mado 1,518 visits and the Directors 283. Tho report shows the past school year to be a very successful one, the school buildings, with the exception of that on "Whito street, being in excellent condi tion, much better than at the close of any previous year. He recommendod procur ing the eame rooms for next year that aro now being used, inasmuch as It is not prob able that tho new "Whito street building would not be ready for occupancy by that time. In his report the Superintendent strongly urged upon the board tho groat necessity, in filling any vacancies that may occur In the present corps of teachers, of consider ing the moral, intellectual and professional fitness of the applicant, rather than politi cal, soctarian or social consideration From this very cause, through a disregard of this principle, tho schools in the past have been greatly retarded. All other things being equal, tho report states, length ot service should bo a factor In determining what teachers should be promoted to higher grados. The Superintendent paid a high tribute to the present efficient corps of teachers, and strongly urged their reten tion. Ho also rocommend6d that tho teachers in the first grade grammar schools be paid not less than ?800.00 per year, and the second grade $600.00, Tho proceeds from tho commencement exercises amounted to $222.25, about six dollars less than last yoar.

Mr. Doyle was enthusiastic and all who concurred in his views wore assured that in due time their loyalty to tho chief tiger keeper of Tammany Hall would be recog nized in the shape of post offices. Mr. Doylo promised the Shenandoah post office to four different parties.and when his atton ,tion was called to this discropency he evened up by saying that Hill would seo lhat a sufficient number of post offices would be conveniently located.

As soon as possible I applied two Allcpck's Porous Tlasters, one over oach kidney, and laid down. In an hour, to my surprise and delight, tba pain had vanlshod and I was well. I wore the plasters for a day or two as a precau tion, and thon removed them.
