Phone 139 Goes to Find Husband. Mrs. John W. Ruick left yesterday for Denver, whero she goes to learn the whereabouts of her husband. On Feb ruary 19th Ruick, who was employed as switchman in tho local yards, drew his pay and left town. A few days later ho wrote his wifo from Denver, and since then nothing has been heard of him. Last Friday Mrs. Ruick'had in serted in the Denver Post a picture and description of her husband and offored a reward of ono hundred dollars for in formation of his whereabouts. Saturday a letter was received from a Donver man stating that ho know Ruick, and that he was working for tho Rio Grando at a place 300 miles distant from Den ver, and if Mrs. Ruick would send $100 he would divulge the place. Mrs, Ruick not feeling secure about the reliability of tho party claiming to know the whereabouts of her husband, concluded to visit Denver and seo the man personally. Upon arrival in that city, it was her intention to first visit the chief of police and invoke his assistance. In tho presence of n congregation that filled tho seating capacity of the church and chapel, Right Rev. Anson R. Graves confirmed a class of twenty one at the Episcopal church at the Eas ter morning service. Tho chancel was filled with palms, ferns, lillies nnd cut flowers, presenting a bright and cheer ful appearance. The offering at the service was $259.85. S. S. Keller, of McPherson county, has been visiting his brother in town for a few days. Mr. Keller led the fight against the issuance of bonds for a new court house in McPherson county and the proposition was defeated by vote of two to one. This defeat was due to tho fact that the removal of the county seat from Tryon to a point nearer the center of the county will be made an issue in the near future and tho west end fellows did not want Try on to have a cinch by the erection of n now court htrose. DANGEROUS FAKES Tricks to Introduce Alum Baking Powders which should be Exposed. Thoro has recently been attcped at some of our grocery stores, and also at dwolling houaes, by agents who aro try ing to sell alum baking powders, what the exhibitors call a baking powder test. Thay protond to show bv soma hoilimr teat that puro cream of tartar baking powders contain something which every woman of intelligence knows they do not. It dons not need a chemist to axnnan this trick. Cream of tartar, which is tho chief constituent of the best and most wholesome bakinir nowdor. in originally a clear, white crystal. This is ground into a fine, creamy flour in which form, mixed with baking soda It is present in tho bakinir nowdor. Cream of tartar, when mixed with water and boiled simply returned to its crystallino form, and that in nil there is to tho so-called test. Tho matter of special interest to the public ia to know what these neonle offer in place of cream of tartar pow ders or well known purity and estsb lished reputation against which these slanders are directed. They aro offer ing a baking powdor which official ana'ysoB havo repoatedlv shown is made from alum, a drug so well roe- ongnized by physicians and scientists as injurious to health that in mnnv countries its use in broad is or.tirely pronioited, bo cheap and inferior oro the ingredients of this powder that it costs to mako loss then throe conts n pound.
