DID YOU EVER I Think what it cost to manufacture Baking Towder 1 Did you ever think how baking pow der Is soldf Did you ever think thero must bo a largo profit in it somewhere? The manufac turer of a certain baking powder pay out nearly a million dollars or more a year advertising their powder, trying to make people believe It Is tho best made. Their baking powder Is sold at BOo per pound. The retailer makes his profit, tho Jobber makes his profit, tho manufacturer makes his profit, and the consumer pays for all these and tho newspaper advertising also. What does It cost to manufacture tho powder? Other manufacturers glvo away 25 or 30 cents worth of china, glassware, toys, hardware, books, etc., with every pound of baking pow der. Again tho query, what docs It cost to manufacture tho powder can you think it out? You don't need to. Glrvln, Duncan & Wald ley have a few words on tho baking powder Question.

Editor llnyers Impressions of Them Alter lteccut Vlltg "Writinc from Indianapolis, Ind., Editor Boyor,oftheIlEitALl,Kives some interesting notes of his western trip. IIo says that among tho Indiana towns ho vlsitod was Frankfort. Twenty flvo years ago he visited tho place and spent six month thero. Frankfort was then a very ttnali village, but now it is a largo city and one of the prettiest pine s in tho state. The city pays; but $70 a yoar for oacb arc electric light used. Tne streets aro gravolied, the gutters aro paved with brick and tho pave- monts a:o mado of brick, tilos, stone and ta", according to taslc. Tho tax ruto last year was nearly thrto por cent.; rattier high, but tho money wont for improve ments of'a permanent character. Thiswil. ultiniatoli result in reducing the rate ot taxation to a nominal figure. Moreover, tho ponuRnont improvements have greatly nlnnced the value oi a'l properties in tho city. Frankfort has been Republican by 300 mtijority for many years. Many people there have become wealthy through investments in government lands, which cost them from si. Jo to S1U per acre, are now worth $50 per acre and upwards. Iii.l" Hines, at tho timo of Mr. Boyer's stay at Frankfort years ago, was a poor bound" boy who was shipped west with others from Now York, Uo was put on a farm and ho worked hard until ho was IS years of ago, when ho askod permission ol his guardian to go east to try and find his parents. Uincs was to havo received it horse, bridlo, suit of clothes and $j0 in cash upon reaching tho ago of 21, but ho enmpromiiod for f60 and started oast. Uo found a brother at Pittsburg, who scoured employment for him on a railroad. After working through tho winter Uines wended his way to Now York and found his mother thoro. Uis father had died. "Bill" re turned to Frankfort with his mother and arrived thero with about tho samo amount of money ho had when ho left. Hard work was resumod and now "Bill" is William Uines, Esq., worth at least foO.000, and owns a beautiful, comfortablo home. Uo has a family that is highly re spected and ho is prominent in Republican p jlitics. His business is that of an attorney and land agent and ho has tho reputation of being vory careful and roliable. Tho country throughout Indiana and Illintii, Jlr. Boyor says, is badly inundated and corn crops havo been considerably damaged, in some piacos planting was rondered impossible. Ono town in Indiana has streets named "Tavern," "Brewery,1 "Beer," "Barrel!," etc. Tho names wore no doubt given by tho Germans who first settled in tho placo. Speaking of Indianapolis Mr. Boyor sats it reminds him of southern cities. The characteristics aro about tho samo. Thero aro many colored poop'o in tho city and tho whitos speak liko southerners. Tho stroct cars, when not propellod by electricity, aro drawn by mules. All tho stores closo at six o'clock in tho evening. Living cheap choaper than in any other of the wostorn cities. Thoro are somo vory fine eating houso; in tho city and a first class meal can bo had for from 15 to 25 cents All tho railroads run Into ono depot the Union. Natural gus is piped to tho city and it is used for fuol and illuminating purposes. "Tho Grand" and "Bates" ate tho largest and flnost hotols and thoy are well managed. Tho lowor part of the city, whoro tho stock yards are located, aro Inundated, Mr. Boyor went from Indianapolis to Chicago via tho Pan Handle routo, and upon his arrival In Chicago met "Johnny1 Pott, of Williamsport, Pa., tho Eastern Travelling Agent 9f tho popular Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway, which road has secured a big hold on tho passen ger business between Chisago and Minne apolis. Its offices In tho former city wero besoiged from morning until night every day last week, tho lot? rate for a round trip ($11.60) boing an incentive for heavy travel. All the roads leading out of Chicago chargod the samo rate, but that did not provent the O., M. & St. P. from getting a "scoop" on tho business. Mr. Borer left for Minneapolis last Saturday evening. Ho writos that tho rush to that city was immense and tho many trains woro mado up of sleepers alono, Tho crowdod condition of Chicago ho writos, "boat all ray calculation.

'Peter" Again Yields His Able Pen In Commenting Upon Several Leading Topics of tho Day. FRIEND of mino handed mo a clipping from a Philadelphia paper detailing the experience of a Shen- nndoahito m his first trip to tho city. The young man is 22 yoars of age, and his brother a prominent "Knight oftherhZr." Uo has livod hero all his lifo, and nevor was away from his father's houso untd his re: ent trip to Philadelphia, Ho had novor seen a city, or a ship, or a big rivor. He wanted to see it all and ho did. In three days ho had boen on sailing vessols and steamships and had enjoyed a sail in one of tho little cat-boats on tho Doiawaro in a squall and ho didn't object out loud when tho sail lay in tho wator and he was riding on tho bottom of tho boat with his legs in tho wet. Uo seemed to think that wa3 tho proper thing to do. A trip to Now York, a visit to the Uowory, tho slums nnd Central Park was made. He crawled into a big cannon at tho Brooklyn Nayy Yard, and wanted to try a divo from the Brooklyn bridge. Ho climbed to tho masthead ot a ship, and ho complained be cause ho couldn't find a balloon in which be could ascend nigner. Then he went back to Philadelphia, and after seeing about all thee was to seo wont to Gloucos ter and bot on a "euro tip," a "ten to ono shot," and won. For a young man on his Drat trip to the city ho did vory woll, and has boon entertaining his friends sinco with his new experiences. Sometimo last winter a leading Philadol phia newspaper started a fund, asking the public to cuntributo their mito, for the pur pose of bringing homo tho body of the murdored sailor, Charles Riggin, which now lies under tho unfriendly soil of Chili. I havo boon asked by several parties what bocamo of tho project, whether tho under taking had been abandoned. In view of tho lact that several contributions from this town wero made to lha fund, I think tho paper that oxhibitcd its patriotic sentiments In devising a plan to bring tho body to its native soil might throw somo light upon tho question. Mr. Editor, you havo tho floor. Speak, or forever horoatter hold your peace. The contrast botweon tho School Board and tho Borough Council, so far as tho inlerosts of their constituents aro concerned, is greatly in favor of tho former. One looks to tho porsonal gain of certain mem bers and their political advancement, while ovory action taken by the other body is or tho boneflt of tho school district and tho advansomont of tho educational facilities of tho town. Then, again, there is not that bitterness oxhibitod in the School Board that is so noticeable on the part of a few mem bers of tho Council, and the minority is treated courtoously In all deliberations. I trust tho controlling elemont among our Town Fathers will soon como to a realization of tho importance of a betterfooling among thorn, It would bo Potter for themselves, for their constituents, and tho town in general. Several parties in town havo rocontly called my attention to tho fact that certain young men are in the habit of making raids during the night for plunder. Our efficient police forco broke up tho Flynn gaig in this town, and theso parties will meet tho same lato unloss thoy tnond their ways. On Tuesday night a certain young man living at Turkey Run was caught by an employe entering tho stables of the Cambridge colliery, and givon chaso. Tho young man is known, and the probabilities aro, if he does not ceaso his midnight visits to that placo bo will surely be boarding at tho county Jail shortly. Tho horses of this company havo repeatedly boon takon out during tho night and drivon a long dictanco, and other depredations carriod on; Bo careful, young man; a diligent watch Is now placed at this colliery. V Tho Republican National Convention and the approaching special olection aro two loading topics of discussion in town. Tho Democrats aro as busy discussing tho probably action of tholr national conven tion as tho Republicans aro in tho discussion of tho work at Minneapolis. The local Democrats aro divided in their opinions. Somo want Cleveland, othora shout for Hill, and tho third partios wink and say that Pattlson will run both out. On the water q'uostlon there are frequent lively discussions, but when tho direct quoitlon Is put, there are few who will say that the debt oi thn borough will be in- roasd, or that it will not. Ono thine 'i certain, tho gilt edge f future prosperity ivcn the issuo by tho public water works boomers is wearing off and a sentiment is toadily growing in favor of making an tgroement with tho wator company whereby tho borough shall recoive water for fire purposos freo of charge and all laims against tho borough shall bo can- colled. Tho resolution of the water com pany to allow its offer to stand good until accepted by the borough, irrespective of tho result next Tuosday, has brought many pooplo down from tho fence and they havo declared in favor of an amicable settlement. fho cry ol the boomers is "no surrender," but this is not taken as an economical policy.
