ROYAL
Baking Powder
The strongest, purest, most efficient and
wholesome of leavening agents. Not lowest
in price, yet the most economical ; indispens
able to all who appreciate the best and most
healthful food.
Our country is enjoying prosperity almost
unsurpassed in its history.
For every one there is money enough to
buy that to eat which is pure, sound, good,
wholesome,
Why should we use cheap, impure, un
healthful articles of food? There is no
economy in them ; they endanger the health,
they may cost life. There are reported
almost daily cases of sickness caused by eat
ing cake, puddings or biscuit made with the
cheap, alum baking powders.
In all -articles for food buy and use only
the best. The good health of the family is
of first consideration.
Alum is used in many baking powders because it makes
them cheap. It costs less than two cents a pound.
Alum is a corrosive poison. Think of feeding it to chil
dren ! Yet the manufacturers of well-known alum
powders arc actually denying that their goods contain it.

tonal Bank have received notice
from the Comptroller at Washing
ton to the effect that the final divi
dend of one and nine tenths per
cent will at once be made on ap
proved claims against the defunct

This final diyidend is somewhat
less than was anticipated by credi
tors, the report having gained cir
culation that it would be five per
cent.
The affairs of the institution are
now practically wound up, and as a
result of the receivership, creditors
of the bank have received eighty
one and nine-tenths per cent of
their approved claims.
TEACHERS ELECTED.
Tho Board Moots and Makes
Selections Last Night
BARBER rOR SUPERINTENDENT
The Assignment of Grado ToAchon
wlU be Msde at a Future Meeting.
The board of education held its
annual meeting last night. The
old board formally closed up the
year's business and passed a rcso-
ution thanking the corps of teach
ers for the excellent work accom
plished uuritig the past year, The
outgoing members then retired and
tho new members, Messrs. Bccler
and Bullard presented their cre
dentials and took their scats. The
board was organized by electing II.
T. Rice president, John Sorcnson
vice-president and F. 12, Bullard
secretary. The limit of time for
the completion of the new high
school building was extended until
November 15th and the secretary
was instructed to notify the con
tractors that they would be required
to file a surety bond. The bond of
the newly elected treasurer was
presented but was referred back
for correction.
The superintendent was author
ized to employ as much assistance
as will be necessary to remove, pack
and store the property belonging
to. the school district, now in the
ligh school building. A committee
was appointed to wait on the mayor
and city council and request the
appointment of a night watchman
to protect the material during the
tearing down of old and building of
new high school. Wilcox & Halli-
gan were rc-Ciiiploycd as attorneys
for the comming year at a salary
of $100. A communication was rc
ceived from Prof. Ubnglit stating
that he did not wUh to be consid
ered a candidate for the superin-
tendcucy as he expected to devote
the coming year to study for his
doctor's degree. The county super-
ntendeut was granted the use of
one of the school buildings in which
to hold a summer school during va
cation. The 'oard then proceeded
to elect teachers for the coming
year. Prof. C. 13, Barber was
elected superintendent and Prof. J.
C. Orr was re-elected principal.
The following were elected teachers
but were not assigned: MissEuuicc
Babbitt, Miss Josic Goodman, Miss
Delia Marovish, Miss Minnie Soren-
ron, Miss Ida Von Goetz, Miss
Minnie Chase, Miss Gertie Baker,
Miss Ruth Patterson, Miss Edith
Vernon, Miss Adda Kochcn, Miss
Grace Duncan, Miss Ella Blake,
Miss Nellie Hartman, Miss Sarah
Ferguson, Miss Jennie White, Miss
Mary Dixon, Miss Jennie Carlson,
H. E. Worrell and O. W. Neal.
These teachers will not be assigned
until a later meeting.
The question of the employment
of janitors was then brought, up
and it was decided to employ Mrs.
Kirchgesucr of the First ward
school, Mrs. Spiccr of the Second,
and Mrs. Slut man of the Third.
Miss Adda Cooper was employed
for the sum of twenty dollars to
take the school census. The ques
tion of making the school levy for
the year came up for consideration
and Mr. Bccler was appointed a
committee of one to thorpughly in
vestigate and report on amount
needed for bond fund and maiuten-
anccof school and also on revenue
of the board. The course of study
came up for consideration but no
action of the board was taken.
However it was very evident that it
was the intention to greatly im
prove it and make it more practical.
The board adjourned to meet at the
call of the president when the con
tract for the new building was re
ceived.
We do not claim to perforin won
ders, and our clothing superiority
has a plausable explanation. Wc
buy and sell more clothing than any
other store in town; wc buy and
sell on strictly cash basis; wc re
ducc our expenses to the lowest
practicable figure, and we are, by
reason of our many sales, satisfied
with a smaller profit than any
oilier store. Sec the new Children
Suits at 51.35, $1.50, $175, $2 00.
$2.50, $3.00 and upwards; ayes 3 to
lfi years old.

While not given to espousing the
personal cause of any individual,
we are constrained to protest
agaiiiBt the action of the board of
educat'ton in failing to elect MIbb
Lizzie Burke as a member of the
corps of teachers. During the past
year Miss Burke's work in the Sec
ond ward school haB been extremely
satisfactory to parents having
children in her room, and wc know
personally that the pupils under
her charge have progressed in a
manner that rellects very creditably
upon her abilities as a teacher.
Our observation of her work is not
confined to the advancement of our
.own child, but is extended to those
f other pupils, hence cannot be
considered a personal matter. We
believe that in failing to vote for
Miss Burke, Messrs, Sorcnson,
Bccler and Shumau acted ill-advis-edly
and without the proper in
formation.

Yesterday afternoon the county
commissioners decided to employ
additional counsel to assist in the
county's defence in the suit brought
in .the federal court by the Union
Pacific. The attorneys selected
are Bartlctt & Baldrigc of Omaha,
and T. C. Patterson of this city.
Their proposition to the board was
to accept a fee of one thousand
dollars which would cover all the
the expenses in the United States
circuit court, and if the case goes
to the court of appeals at St. Louitj
an additional fee of five hundred
dollars and their necessary ex
penses would be charged.
