C'Hic.Vdii, Sept. 12. Tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock the conference
called by the civic federation of Chi
cago to discuss the question of trusts
and combiner, their cauno and effect
and all their various phases, will be
called to order in Central Music .hall
by Franklin II. Head, president of the
Civic Federation. It is expected that
when the meeting is called nearly 400
delegates will bo in attendance from
all parts of the country.
Tho Texas delegation headed b'
Attorney (Jenerul Smith, the Missis
sippi delegates and the Tennessee
delegates, the latter headed by Con
gressman Snodgrass, were among the
arriv ,1s during the day. Edward
R se water of Omaha, ex-Governor
Crounse of XebrasKa, Secretary and
Treasurer of the Knights of Labor
John V. Hayes, Fr incis I Thuber
and 11 nry White of New York also
arrived. Colonel W. J. Bryan is ex
pected in Chicago on Thursday.
ISeyond the formalities attendant
upon the opening of the conference no
attempt at a program has been made
and none will be attempted, the work
in that respect being left to the con
ference itself. President Head of the
Civic federation will deliver a wel
comi ig address and Governor Tanner
of Illinois will extend greetings to too
delegates in behalf of the state. Act
ing Mayor Walker of Chic igo will
welcome the delegates in behalf of the
city. Special subjects for the various
sessions of the conference, the ap
pointing of various necessary commit
tees and tho election of a chairman
will follow.
From the opinions already expressed
by delegates who have arrived it is
believed that nearly all of the dele
gates from the south and west will
come opposed to the principle of
trusts and combination while the
views of eas ern delegates are ex
pected to modify tho conclusions of
tho conference, if any recommenda
tions are decided upon.
Frn'limi For the Veteran.
Nkw Youk, Sept. 12. Albert D.
Shaw, ih- new commander-in-chief of
the Grand Army of tue Republic, said
last niilu: "A gieat deal of my time
will be given to pension legislation.
The old soldier is entitled to lasting
consideration. What if the pension
roll is long? Tho Union soldiers
saved this cation. Their reward
should be commensurate with their
services. If the burden should prove
too heavy I am in favor of a patriot
pension bond issue, so that only the
interest would have to be met from
year to 3'ear. Let posterity meet the
bnds wren they mature. Why not?
The country was savaJ io posterity.
It is only proper that a part cf the
burden should fill on posterity."

A STRINGENT FOOD LAW.
l'nlilll t a the l.'e of Arnenlc or Alum In
All Articles of LHet.
The law enacted by the Missouri
legislature, a copy of which was re
cently published in our columns, and
which prohibits the manufacture or
sale of any article intended for food or
to bo used in tho preparation of food,
wnicn contains alum, arsenic, am
monia, etc., places that state in tho
lead in the matter of sanitary legisla
tion. Laws restricting the use of alum in
b-ead have been in force in England,
(iermany and France for many years.
In this country, in Minnesota, Wis
consin, Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky
and several other states, direct legis
lation in roforence to the sale of alum
baking powders has also been effected.
In several of these states their sale is
prohibited unless they are branded to
show that they contain alum, and in
the District of Columbia, under the
laws of congress, tho sale of bread
containing alum has been made illegal.
Following are tho names of some of
the brands of baking powder sold in
this vicinity which are shown by re
cent analysis to contain alum. House
keepers and grocers should cut the
list out and keep it for reference:
Unking Powders Containing Alum:
K. C Contains Alum
Manf. by Jaques Mfg Co., Chicago.
M ANIIAT I AN Contains Alum

RO KET Contains Alum

The housekeeper should bear .in
mind that alum make9 a cheap biking
powder. It costs but two cents a
pound, while cream of tartar costs
thirty. The quality of the powder is
therefore usually indicated by the
price.
Considerable of a bub-bub has been
raised about the Burlington's exten
sions in western Nebraska. The fact
of the matter is that the opening for
settlement of tha North Platte Valley,
through the building of these new
lines, is going to mark an important
epoch in the development of the trans
Missouri country. A line is now be
ing built southward from Alliance,
and will strike the North Platte
Valley near Cimp Clarke. The town
will be named Bridgeport, in honor of
the first briffge built across the river
nearby. From here the new railroad
will run right on up the North Platte
Valley in a northwesterly direction.
Sites have been laid out for a half
dozen towns along the line in Ne
braska, and three in Wyoming, all on
the north bank of the river. In
quiries from persons intending to
start in business in these new towns
are already being received. It would
appear that the outlook for them is
bright, as the country that will sup
port these towns is prosperous and is
bound to become more so. On both
sides of the North Platte river the
country is irrigated from four to eight
miles back. It is admirably adapted
for agriculture, and the table land is
considered to be as good cattle land as
there is in the west. Within another
3'ear there will doubtless be many
flourishing communities in the fertile
valley of the North Platte.
The Burlington railroad is erecting
a tie-preserving plant at Edgemont,S.
D It will cost about $40,000, and will
be completed about October 1. When
the plant is in operation 3,000 ties a
day will be treated by the Dew process
for preserving them. It is known as
the chloride of zioc process, and is the
same as that used by the Santa Fe
railroad at Las Vegas, N. M., and by
tho Southern Pacific road in Cali
fornia. The Burlington will be the
first railroad In tbe northwest to take
advantage of this process. The ties
are placed in a large iron cylinder,
tho air is pumped out, and the ties
heated by steam; then the chemicals
are pumped in and the ties kept in
the solution under high pressure un
til they are saturated, when they are
removed. The Burlington has a yaT-d
at Edgemont in which 300,000 ties can
be stored. Before the ties are in shape
to treat they must be piled up and al
lowed to season for about thirty days.

Sues the School District.
School district No. 28 is again in
court. This time Douglas W. bbinn
is the plaintiff, who sues for $270
weges he claims is due him by reason
of having a written contract to teach
one year, although he did not do the
work. He made a contract with the
old school board, and when the new
board was elected it refused to honor
his contract because he did not have a
certificate that was in force at the
time the contract was made. He pro
cured the certificate before the open
ing of school, however, but another
teacher had been engaged. The case
is being tried before Judge Spurlock.
