Royal Baking Powder
Has no Equal
The Royal Baking Powder will make sweeter, lighter, finer-flavored
and more wholesome bread, biscuit and cake than any other leavening
agent. It is of higher strength, and therefore goes further in work and
is more economical. All government and scientific tests go to show
fcis. Royal Baking Powder as a leavening agent is absolutely without
an equai.
Rush Medical College, Chicago.
"As the result of my tests I find the Royal
Baking Powder superior to all the others in every
respect. It is entirely free from all adulteration
and unwholesome impurity, and in baking it
gives off a greater volume of leavening gas than
any other powder. It is therefore not only the
purest but also the strongest powder with which
I am acquainted.
"Walter S. Haines, M. D.," rrof. of Chemistry.
Chicago College of Pharmacy.
"The Royal Baking Powder, which tests the highest
in strength, is free from lime, alum, lime phosphates or
other adulterations. Its superlative purity, the entire
wholesomcness of its ingredients, the scientific manner
in which they are combined, together with its much
greater strength, make the Royal unquestionably supe
rior to any other baking powder.

An Insane Woman's Actions.
The arrival of the flyer at Lincoln
was awaited with considerable
interest last evening. A telegram
had previously been received
stating that an insane woman had
run every passenger and trainman
from the car and held possession
by means of a 32 calibre revolver.
Several oflicers were on hand when
the train arrived, for the purpose of
capturing the woman, and probably
8tX) people were attracted to the
scene by curiosity.
After the train arrived the woman
fired two shots, one of which barely
missed a bystander. Upon a
promise of the police that she
would not be killed, she gave her
self up. Before tne train arrived at
incoln the had shot a colored
porter in the leg, afflicting a slight
flesh wound.
The woman was bound and taken
through l'lattsmouth last evening
for Philadelphia, where she will be
properly c ired for.

Governor Thayer's appeal to the
people of Nebraska for a traia load
of corn food products is receivine
prompt attention. Deputy Labor
commissioner Ludden "hopes to
raise ninety cars within a short
time without much difficulty, judg
ing from liberal donations already
offered. Then if the northwestern
millers fail to get the 40,C:M barrels
of flour they have pledged Ncbras-
mi people may continue to lie
liberal and help them raise the
balance.
The attention ot Nebraska millers
is called to the oITer of (). A.Cooper
of Humboldt, who writes that he
has just read Governor Thayer's
prolamalion, also Mr. Ludden's
communication in The loiinial.
Before seeing them he had agreed
to donate one hundred 110 pound
sacks of flour for the cause, or if
othar slate millers would uive
liberally he would not hesiiate to
give a full car load. Delias since
received a circular from the Norlh-
western Miller on the same subject,
but he sign i lies his willingness to
donate to the Nebraska project. "I
realue," he writes, "that by donat
ing the same amount iu comment
we would not only do a generous
act, but would, as you say.advertise
and help to build up a market for
our corn products, and I can donate
the same amount of corn meal as
well as I could in flour. Let me

Nebraska State Teachers' Association.
For the benefit of our city
teachers, or any others who may
feel disposed to attend the state
teachers association meeting
which convenes Dec. 20, 30 and
31, we again call attention to it.
The officers of the association are
W. E. Andrews, Hastings, (resident;
W. II. Gardner, Nebraska City, sec
retary; W. II. Skinner, Crete,
treasurer.
The association is divided into
three sections, as follows: Public
schools, of which J. A. Hornberg,
Norfolk, is president; colleges,
G. L. Farnham, Peru, president;
county superintendents, W. M.
Clary, Nebraska Ciiy, president.
Each section will hold a session in
a particular room and discuss
questions bearing directly upon
its line of work, (juile a lengthy
program has been prepared the
exercises to be participated in by
some of the foremost educators of
the state. The teachers of the
county that find it convenient to
attend this meeting will doubtless
be be benefited. They can well
afford to lay aside the cares of the
schoolroom for a few days. Let it
be a time of Christmas greeting, a
time in wnicn tne teacners may
mingle together and discuss plans
for future work that cannot fail to
be mutually helpful.
Be sure to call and see the prices
on Ladies' and Gent's gold and
gold tilled watches.

The C. O. T. society, composed of
about a dozen young ladies, held a
"hen" social at the home of Miss
Ida Boeck last evening. The O. D.
C.'s were "shut out" entirely, but
notwithstanding this the girls
report that they never enjoyed
themselves better. The evening
was spent indulging in music
vocal and instrumental, and other
amusements of a delightful nature.
At a seasonable hour a well pre
pared luncheon was served.
The following were present: Mes
