The Union Pacific freight depot , men
tion of which lias already been made in

The site will bo between Seventh and
Ninth streets and Jones and Jackson
streets , and will take up the whole ol
blocks 178 and 171) ) . The structure will
bo of brick and iron according to the
best designs. Work will be begun with

that the structure will bo completed nc
later than November next. The building
and yard will occupy u space 028x281 foot
Sn extent. All the local trcight will be
handled in the new depot , and in tills
way the switching ami backing over
Tenth street crossing will bo avoided. It
is expected that the Rook Island road
and the Chicago , Milwaukee & St. Paul ,
and possibly the Northwestern , will use
the freight terminal facilities thus u lib ril
ed.

tion on this line of a now contrivance
which lie ha invented for draining out
the scaly deposits in locomotive boilers.
Mr. S. claims that this patent is most suc
cessful in operation , and if all expc-ri
mcnts are satisfactory it will doubtless be
adopted by the Union Pacific.

ed an old man named S. II. Plum. Offi
cer James , of the Law and Order League ,

THK NEW KIFIjT < ; RANGE.
It is to 1)O Located Near Bellovuc I tt
The rifle range to be used by the sol-
dicro of tliis department in their annual
competition tins summer hasat Icngtli
been located. The bite was selected b }
Col. Henry and is north of Bcllevue , in si
cleared grove of timber on a high blull
overlooking the river , and about oOC
yards from the railroad station the prop
erty for the most part belonging to II. T
Clark , of this city. It is a lovely place
for a camp , high and dry , favored will :
noel .south winds and shade , with fish ,
ing near at hand. There arc six trains u
day going to and roturninir from Belle-
vuc , giving our citizens an opportunity
to see the rillo practice ami .spend a pleas
suit day in the woods , and affording the
tjoys in blue an easy opportunity to got
to Omaha for the evening , returning foi
work early next morning. The competi
tion for prizes takes place in August and
wjll doubtless bo largely attended. There
will be skirmish firing on the new raugi
from time to time , with the general prsic-
tico firing from Juno until October.
In speaking of the now range to-day ,
Colonel Henry said : "No one can
complain of danger , for there arc nc
houses within miles in the direction ol
lire. The range for troops coming is
more accessible by railroad thanl-orl
Omaha , \vhcro men had to bo hauled by
wagons. General Crook , for his in tores !
in this matter in keeping the practice st
near Omaha , and making it attractive foi
citizens , is to bo congratulated , as alsc
Mr. II. T. Clark , in selecting this pleas
ant locality for the rango. It is a .singu
lar fact that this place selected for targe !
practice ot the United States troops was
cleaned out years ago by Indians for ( nil
tivation and has not since been used. "
More of the Council UliiiTr * Mercer Cnni
The latest contest in the Mercer casef is
in regai d to the judgement given ngainsl
Mrs , Frank , nllna Hubiir , for sj',000. Ilei
attorneys claim that they wore taken tin
awaies , and have moved to have the
judgment sot aside. They goi
the matter ( continued until yosterdaj
when they promised to tile uflidavits ane
Mich showingd as are needed to supper
the motion tojhave the judgement se
aside. The attorney for the Mercer gir !
will sock to got time granted to pro-
para allhliivitt ) and showings to rcbu
these.
Another chapter is promised in tlu
cai-o. It la the declared intention of Mrs
Huber'B attorney to have her brought
hero and Mirrc.iuerad ! , placed in the ens
tody of the sheriff , and then commence
habeas corpus proceedings to soeuro hoi
release. Such proceedings will lead to i
review of the evidence on which Judge
Aylcsworth held her , and it is cxpectci
that some legal questions may arise wldul
may result in setting the woman free
Such will be the ultempt.

It was intended to give the Arkansa :
editorial excursionists a handsome rccup

the editors started on the excursion , Ai
Fort Scott they were dined at the leadlnJ
hotel by General Manager Ncttlcton , ol
the Fort Scott & Gulf road. At Kansas

The I'nss
A peculiar turn was taken yesterday It
the case against M. 11. Darnell , chargci
with having committed forgery by rais
ing the date upon n Union Pacific pass
The principal witness against Darnel
was Fred Knight , a young fellow wlu
teslllled that the data ot expiration of the
pass had been raised from May 8 to Ma
18 when Darnell gave it to him. Ycstor
day Detective Valentine , of the Union Pa
clllc , obtained evidence which promise !
to fasten the guilt of the transaction upot
Knight. Darnell's case was accoidingl.'i
continued until Friday and Knight placet
under arrest , charged with the forgery.
It Is claimed that three witnesses will b <
produced at the trial to-day who will tcs
tlty that they saw Knight raise the date
of the pass. Knight practically adniiltot
his guilt yesterday , but sald _ ho wouli
stamt an examination just to sco wha
the other fellows were going to swoai
against him. It was : i close call for Dar
null , who could have been easily con
victed under the circumstances againsi

been so opportunely produced.

enough of forced humor to entertain tli

OUR BREAD IN DANGER.
The Alarming Increase in Baking Pow
der Adulterations.
Among recent Important discoveries by the food analysis Is lliat by Prof.
MOTT , U. S. Government Chomlst , of large amounts of llmo and alum In
the cheap baking powders. It is a startling fact that of over one hundred
different brands of baking powder so far analyzed , comprising all those sold
in this vicinity , not one with the single exception of Royal Baking Powder
was found free from both lime ami alum.
The use of alum is lo produce a cheap baking powder. It costs less -than
two cents a pound , whereas pure cream of larlor cosls forly. Us effect upon
the system has boon ascertained lo be poisonous , and overdoses have been at
tended with falal results. Lime is Iho most useless adulterant yet found in
baking powders. Ills true that when subjected lo a heat a certain amount of
carbonic acid gas is given off , but a quick-lime is left , a caustic so powerful
that it is used by tanners to oat the hair from Iho hides of animals , and in
dissceling rooms lo more quickly rol Ilic llcsh from Ihc bones of dead sub
jects.
The effect of lime upon flic delicate membranes of the stomach , intestines
and kidneys , moro particularly of inf.anls and children , anil especially when
taken into Ihc syslom day after day , and with almost every meal , is perni
cious in Iho extreme , and is said by uhysicians to bo one of the chief causes
of indigestion , dyspepsia and diseases of the kidneys. Chemists have found
12 per ccnt.,01one eiglli of Iho weiBhl , of some of Iho baking powdcrs.prom-
inotly sold in this vicinity , lo bo lime. The wickedness of this adulteration
is apparent.
The absolute purity and wholesomcncss of the Royal Baking Powder now
affirmed by every chem'st ' and food analyst of prominence , and conceded by
all manufacturers of other brands arises from the exclusive use of cream of
tartar specially refined by patent processes , which remove tolally the lime
and all other impurities. These facililics arc possessed by no other manu
facturer. The Chemist of the Department of Health of Brooklyn. N. Y. , in
which city the works of the Royal Baking Powder Company arc situated , af
ter recent numerous experiments , reports :
"Isubjected several samples of the Royal Baking Powder , purchased from
dealers in Brooklyn , to chemical analysis , and 1 lake pleasure in slaling
that this powder lias attained a most remarkable purity. I am unable to do-
leclthe slightest trace of lime tartrahnn it , while all its constituents arc
pure and of the highest quality. The 'Royal' is a baking powder undoubted
ly of Iho grcalesl leavening power , and perfectly wholesome.
