Powder t Did you ever think how baking pow
der is soldi Did you ever think there must be
a large 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 the best made. Their taking powder Is sold
at 50o per pound: The retailer makes his proiit,
the Jobber makes, his profit, the manufacturer
makes his profit, and the consumer pays for all
these and the newspaper advertising also.
What does It cost to manufacture tho powder?

ANOTHER DAM
CAUSES TROUBLE
THE KATJFFMAN DAM ABOVE
ST. OLAIR.
FLEEING TO THE MOUNTAINS
A Dangerous Leak Discovered In
the Dam Causes a Panic At
Last Accounts tho Crisis
Was Over.
AVfr ZpSjERROH struck tht
hearts of tho poopio of
Sf!K-4&ii!ijnl town yestorday when
they heard that the
breast work of Kiuff
nan's dam was show-
ing signs of weakening
and a flood threatened the people of St.
Clair and Port Carbon. Tho residents of
town who havo relatives and iriends at
those placos are numerous, 1 encothereport
was received here with almost tho same
feeling that would havo provailed if Shen
andoah was threatened 'by a flood.
Telegrams of inquiry flashed over the
wires constantly and everybody who ar
rived in town from Frackvillo was qucs
tioned closely as to the condition of the
dam, whether it had burst or would buret,
and how. the people of St. Clair and Port
Carbon were. Many people remained
upon tho streets until after midnight to
glean information
The report of tho expected outbreak was
first given out at noon yesterday. The
dam was then leaking so badly that the
destruction of the dam seemed inevitable.
The people of St. Clair became panic
stricken and fled to the neighboring hilU
and there they sat until' night expecting to
see their homos swept away by a torrent
from tho dam.
As soon as the Pottsville people were
mado acquainted with the condition of
affairs they At once made preparations for
tho relief of the St. Clair people and sup.
piled them with food and lodgings. Ar
rangements wero also made lor a system of
warning signals in caso tho dam should
givo way. Company K, Eighth Regiment,
was called out for duty and the mon wore
stationed above and below St. Clair in such
a manner that by "the discharge of their
guns they could warn tho people of the
crisis. It was also arranged that in such
an event tho people who remained in St.
Clair would be warned by tho whistle at
tho old shaft. Thoso arrangements ro
mained in force to-day.
A Herald reporter visited the dam at 2
o'clock this morning and found seated
about a huge bonfire Messrs. Drumhellor,
Barker, Pollard, Russell and Morton,
gentlemen interested in the Pottsville
"Water Company, owners of the dam,
Superintendent Kalbach and Supervisor
Turk. Dr. D. W. Williams, of Shenan
doah, and Robert Hunt, of Frackvillo
wore also there.
From Mr. Baker tho reporter loarnod
that the dam covers an area of twenty-two
acres and has a capacity of 160.000 000 gal
Ions. Tho breast measures 630 feet across
and is nearly 70 fo6t high. It was con
structed three years ago by Contractor
Dolan and coil fSO.OOO. It Is rlprapped on
both sides. Mr. Barker said that the water
company officials arrived upon tho grounds
shortly after noon yestorday and at onco
made preparations to relieve the dam of
water. Two twelve inch pipes wero
thrown open and the wato.r rushed in tor
rents down tho narrow gorgt. For hours
tho docreaso was three inches an hour.
When tho Herald man arrived upon the
scene (2 . m.) tho officials estimated that
40.000 000 gallons had boon drawn off and
measurements taken at that hour showed
that tho decrease for the precoding hour
and a half was four and a quarter inches.
When asked about tho prospects Mr.
Barker said, "Wo' can say nothing definite.
Wo aro doing all in our power to get tho
wator out. Matters nro beginning to look
brighter and there seems to be a decrease
in tho leak. Tho open twelve-inch pipes
aro taking water steadily, but whether tho
breast will hold out until we can get tho
wator to a safe level wo aro not prepared to
Btato. Wo havo Jiopes that it will."
Later, 1 p. m. Mrs. Little, a lady of
St. Clair, who was carried to tho mountain
side on her sick bod during tho panio yes
torday, died this morning.
The reduction of water in tho dam con
tinues favorably and, although tho opening
where the leak ia seems larger than it was,
it is believed the dam will not give way.

A DAM SCARE.
Unfounded Itumor Concerning tho Maha

Tho report of the dangerous leak in the
Kaufifinan dam led to a report that dam

ollect nnd poopio who have interests in the
former placo went over there post hasto
mong thoso who went over was Harry P
Mellot, who returned to town about 10
o'clock last night and said there was no
foundation for tho report, that people had
confounded tho Kauffman dam with No. 3

Malicious Reports Concerning the i:iectrlo
Hallway Hyuoleheil.
Tho Evening Telegram of Ashland last
evening published the following article:
"Last evening tho Telegram published
nn article taken from the Shennndoah
Sunday JS'ews, and based on an nrticle thnt
appeared in tho last issue of the Girnrdville
Gazette to the effect that those in power
had decided against building the Ashland
Girardville, and Girardville - Mahanoy
Plane branches of the Shenandoah, Maha
noy City, Girardville and Ashland Electric
Railway.
'Ihe article created considerable com
ment last evening, and give the best
possiblo evidence of tho fact that our
poople aro alive to tho needs ot this rail
way, and stand ready by all the means in
thoir power to farther its progress.
"The Telegram to-day is pleased at
being able to announce that tho report is a
canard, that had absolutely no foundation
in fact whatever. Judge Sadler, the head
and shoulders of tho new company, arrived
in Shenandoah on Friday, and expects to
make that placo his headquarters until
September, and in the meantime ho will do
all in bis powor to advance the road to the
points abovo mentioned
"He expresses himself as highly pleased
with the result already attained, though ho
greatly regrets that untoward circumstances
have provonted the construction of tho
road as rapidly as was at first expected.
Difficulty alter difficulty was met in the
construction of tho Sbenandoah-Girard-ville
branch, and wero overcome, and that
branch is paying beyond all expectation,
and tho management are now considering
tho point of increasing the equipment of
tho line in order to meet the public demand
for rapjd and commodious transit.
"Thoso in the inner circle sy that there-
is no doubt whatever of the disputed
branches being constructed, and that
spoedily, We are glad to know it; feel
euro that our people will heartily welcome
the approach of tho construction crew, and
still more heartily, tho cars when they
come."
In addition to tho abovo tho Herald
would add tho result of an interviow had
by one of its reporters with Wilbur F.
Sadler, Jr. When shown a copy of tho
report tho Telegram stamps as a canard
Mr. Sadler said, "You may state em
phatically that there is not the slightest
foundation for such a statement. Tho
officials and stockholders of tho road held
no consultation in Girardville the past
week nor has an idea of abandoning the
extensions mentioned baen entertained by
tho company."
Thus another scheme by certain unprin
cipled parties who would play "tho dog in
tho manger" with the electric railway is
effectually squolchod. It is only a question
of timo when tho rascals who invent and
circulato such canards will bo brought to a
halt so suddenly that they will imagine
they have seized a live electric wire. The
electric railway poopio aro doing all in
their power to get tho electric road in oper
ation as soon as possible and any sensible
person can seo this.
Strength and Health.
If you are not feeling strong and healthy,
try Electric Bitters. If "La Grippe" has
left you weak and weary, use Electric Bit
ters. This remedy acts directly on Liver,
Stomach and Kidneys, gently aiding thoso

aro afflicted with Sick Headache, you will
find.spoedy and permanent relief by taking
Electric Bitters. Ono trial will convincq
you that this is the remedy you need.
