In baking powder Royal is the standard, the
powder of highest reputation ; found by the
United States Government tests of greatest

It renders the food more healthful and palat

Housekeepers are sometimes importuned to
buy alum powders because they are "cheap."
Yet some of the cheapest made powders are sold
to consumers at the highest price.
Housekeepers should stop and think. Is it
not better to buy the Royal and take no chances
the powder whose goodness and honesty arc never

Is it economy to spoil your digestion by an

save a few pennies?

About two weeks ago the Journal
published an account of the untimely
death of John Dickson, a brother of
M. A. Dickson of this city, which oc
curred at Indianapolis, Indiana. The
message sent to Mr. M. A. Dickson,
notifying him of the killing of his
brother did not give any of the partic
ulars, any farther than that he was a
street car motorman, and that his
death was caused from an accident.
Mrs. Dickson brought to the Journal of
fice Saturday a copy of the Indianapo
lis Star, of March 20th, which contains
a full account of the distressing calam
ity, from which we take the following
particulars:
"Borne down by an avalanche of
snow the roof and walls of eight sec
tions of the new street car barns, at
1 150 West Washington street, collapsed
at 1:05 yesterday afternoon, killing one
man and seriously injuring two others
who were assisting him in preparing a
car for service.
"The heavy crash of falling brick
and iron was Immediately followed by
a terrific explosion, caused by the
bursting of steam pipes, and residents
in the neighborhood feared that every
thing in that section of the city was
being dest royce.
'Eight street cars were completely
demolished and several others were
damaged to such an extent that they
will have to be rebuilt. The ca-.
tastrophc caused a property loss of
several thousand dallars to the Indi
anapolis Traction and Terminal com
pany. "Telephone messages quickly sum
moned three tire companies, two patrol
wagons and the city ambulance, and a
large rescuing party, under the direc
tion of Third Assistant Fire Chief
John C. Loucks and Shop Foreman C.
Ruff, plunged Into the mass of ruins In
search of the injured.
HODY IS REC'OVEKKD.
Despite the danger attending the
exploration of the gigantic pile of
brick and Iron the men carried on
the work ralpldly and within an hour
the body of John Dickson, motorman,
was taken from the bottom of the de
bris. Louis De Burgh, who was caught
by a falling iron girder, was extricat
ed before the mass which burled Dick
son, could be removed. Dickson, with
John Johus.also Injured, was In charge
of Car No. 272 of the West Michigan
street line.
"A network of live trolly wires,
which supplied the power for the run
ning of cars in and out of the shed,
permeated the wreckage and the cast
wall of the building, which remained
standing, tottered threateningly above
the rescuers. Regardless of their peril
the men worked manfully with picks,
shovels and crowbars and, although
many warnings were sounded, the
search was not abandoned until it was
certain that no other bodies remained
pinioned beneath the ruins.
"Dickson and his conductor, John
Johns, were waiting to take their
car out on a regular run and le Ilurgh
was making some repairs on the steam
pipes. The roof and walls tumbled In
In without warning, and the car in
which the men were working was
crushed tntospllnteisby Hie falling of
heavy Iron beams. Johns was stand
ing in the end of the car which was
the less damaged, and after he had ex
tricated his foot from the vice-like
grip of a fallen iron pillow he was able
to crawl through a small opening to a
place of comparative safety, where he
was found by the rescuing party.
Johns was able to tell of the plight of
Dickson and De Burgh, and the rescu
ers were thus able to reach them more
quickly."
DICKSON HAD KOKE1IODING.
The last car taken out of the shed
before the walls collapsed was in the
charge of Conductor George A. Click
ard and Motorman Charles Perry.
They left the shed at 12:55 o'clock and
had only reached West street when
the car was brought to a standstill by
the breaking of the current.
Conductor Clickard vividly recalled
bis last conversation with John Dick
son, who lost his life in the accident.
"Dickson and Johns came into our
car while they were waiting for De
Burgh to repair their car," said Click
ard. "We sat about chatting for a
moment, when Dickson said:
"Johns, let's take this car and go
ahead. I like thisone better, anyhow."
" 'No you don't,' I replied; 'this car
runs just the same whether it snows or
blows."
"I then told them to get on out as it
was time for us to start. We passed
some good-natured remarks, and the
boys got out and went to their own
car. We left the shed at 12:55 o'clock
and it required five minutes for us to
get on the main line. When we reach
ed West street the power stopped, and
the next I heard was that Dickson had
been killed and Johns had been hurt.
"You can't tell what makes a fellow
say things sometimes, but I believe
that Dickson had some kind of a fore
boding when he proposed taking our
car. l'erry ana J only escapea oy len
