The special agents of the Fidelity Insur
ance company , who htivo been mistaken for
detectives In some charters , uro still busy
gathering evidence on which to contest the
payment of the * 10.0CO | > ollcy on the life of
Dr. Sloman. They Intimate that nn ac
quaintance of Sloman saw him after tlio
date of his supposed drowning , and they are
evidently trying to work up corroborative
evidence for the prospective trial , though
they claim to have a strong c.iso based on
fraudulent misrepresentations.
The question as to whether or not the
Identification of the remains was sufllclent
to establish ucyond n doubt that the corpse
was that of Ur Sloman is still unsettled in
the minds of some of the gentlemen who
viewed the remains the day following the
Undine of the body In Lake Manawa.
Dr , Sloman was a member of camp 1,4. > I ,
Modern Woodmen of America , and ho also
belonged to the Ancient Order of United
Workmen. As soon as the news reached
Omaha that the body ifml liccn found , sev
eral members of these fraternal orders went
to Council Bluffs for the purpose of Identify
ing the remains. .
l.ooltrd I.llic Monmn's Hoard.
Speaking of the identification yesterday ,
Mr. H. IF. Morrow , who was at the time of
the drowning the head ofllcer of camp 1.45J ,
Modern Woodmen , said : "In company with
John S. King of South Omaha , W. n. Cad.y ,
who keeps a grocery store on St. Mary s
avenue. U. 1 Thornton , .1. W. Houder , .1. fc.
Van CJIUIor nnd several others I went over
to Council Hind's on Monday morning after
the body of Di. Sloman had been found ami
viewed tlio remains. Wo were told that the
remains were very badly decomposed
and it was true so far as the head and
f.ice were concerned. The head was swollen
to twice its natural size and was as
black as a chunk of coal. One eye pro
truded and the face looked like that of a
largo negro. Hut I felt sure that the whis
kers were none other than these of Dr. Slu-
nnin. I remembered the shape of his chin
and Its peculiar appearance. I don't think I
could have been deceived about the beard.
I fully believe that thocoipscwasMiatof Dr.
Sloman. Mr King thought that he could
identify the remains by the shape and ap
pearance of the right hand. He had seen
Dr. Sloman while engaged in wilting and
had taken special notice of the doctor's
right hand. Ho felt positive that the
hand of the corpse wns Dr.
Slomnn's hand. From the nock down
the remains were not decomposed , but
looked quite natural. It wns explained to
us that the head had floated above the water
while the lest of the body remained under
the surface , thus retarding the process of do-
composition. If theio had been any marks
or scars on the body it seemed to me that the
relatives or any ono intimately ac
quainted with the deceased could have iden-
tllicd the corpse with but llttlo dilllculty.
Wo were shown the clothing and the jewelry
'that had been removed from the corpse , but
of course that did not count for very much
with us , for we did not see those things on the
body and In fact wo could not have identified
them if wo had. I think that most of the
men who viewed the remains were pretty
well satlslled that it w us the corpse of Dr.
Sloman. "
Could Not Iitcntiry tlio Ilody.
Mr.W. K. Gaily was seen j cstcrday and had
the following to say about the identification :
"I don't believe that any human being could
have Identified the remains that were shown
to us as those of Dr. Sloman , so far as the
face wns concerned. The head and face
were swollen to such tin extent and were so
black that I could not see any resemblance
In the features to the deceased doctor ex
cepting in the shape of the whiskers. A
brother of the deceased showed us the rings
nnd the'other trinkets that ho said were
found on the corpse , but that was of very
llttlo consequence , so far as wo were con
cerned. Some of the relatives even picked
up a shoo and claimed that they could iden
tify that as having belonged to Dr. Sloman.
That was rather absurd to mo and I told
them so. Some of our committee were op
posed to recommending that Iho Insurance bo
paid , for wo did not feel justified in calling
the remains these of the missing doctor.
AVe did not like the idea of "paying the Insur-
nnco on that kind of an identification , but
these who were not satisfied did not tccl like
pushing thu Inquiry and the insurance he
hold in the Modern AVoodmen order was
paid. "
Did Not Itonrmltlo tlio lluctor.
Mr. J. E. Van Glider summed up the situa
tion thus : "I went over to Council Bluffs on
Sunday evening alone and took a look nt the
corpse which they told mo was that of Dr.
Slomnn. 1 Immediately said that I did not
believe that It wns the remains of Dr. Slo
man , and I had some discussion upon the
point with the undertaker. The face and
head of the remains were in a frightful con
dition , and to mo It seemed utterly impossi
ble for any ono to recognize in them the fen-
turcsof Dr. Sloman. There was the same
cut and color to the beard , to bo sure , but
nsldo from that there was not the slightest
'resemblance ' to any one I had ever seen. In
fact , the face was so fearfully swollen and
out of shape and so black that I could sec
no rc.scmblnnco to nny living human face In It.
1 asked his brother if the remains would
bo brought to Omaha , and ho said the.\
would not. I thought this very strange ami
uigcd upon him the advisability of bringing
the body to Dr , Sloman's former home !
where his friends could sec It. but ho was
not Inclined to follow my advice. Tin
whiskers were cut Hko Dr. Sloman usuall.v
were his , and In color nnd general appear
nnco both the beard and the hair were very
much Hko the doctor's. The slzo and pro.
portions of the body closely resembled the
physique of the missing man , but I wns nol
suftlcicntly familiar with his phvslc.il pro-
1'ortions or peculiarities to bo positive thai
the remains were not those of some othei
man. 1 could not go upon tno stum
and swear that tl'o eorpso wo sav
was that of Dr. Sloman. The probabilities
arc that it was the body of Dr. Sloman , bu
I do not know that it was. I think that :
member of the Ancient Order of Unltei
Workmen claimed to have Identified tin
body by .some scars that the doctor hud , bu
I am not positive about that. I was in favoi
of holding the payment of our Insuranci
back a while until the matter could have
fuller investigation. "

At the request of Health Commissioner
Hrcnnan , the city chemist has collected
samples of the various baking powders sold
in St. I/nils and subjected them to analyzis
for the purpose of obtaining for the public
benefit information as to their composition
and character , whether wholesome or other-
w ise.
Owing to the fact that alum baking i > ow-
ders are produced at a cost of less than 4
cents a pound , while In appearance they are
hardly distinguishable from a pure cream of
tartar powder costing from eight to ten
times as much to manufacture , there have
been many of them put upon the market ,
, iiul great efforts madoto substitute them for
the more wholesome cream of tartar com
pounds.
Of course , such powders afford , wldo mar
gins of proflta both to the manufacturers and
dealers and it Is not unusual to find them for
this tc.ison recommended and urged upon
customers who would not. knowing their
true character , use them under any consider
ation.
City Chemist Sullivan's report shows ono
pure cream of tartar powder only ( the
Hoyal ) ; ono cream of tartar powder contain
ing free tartarie acid ; ono phosphate powder
containing sulphate of lime , and that all the
other brands are made from alum. The
samples ranged in strength from it.4 : per
cent of leavening ( carbonic acid ) gas found
In the Hoyal , to 0.03 per cent found in an
alii n powder.
The general usefulness of a baking powder
ilupcnuH largely upon the quantity of leaven
ing gas It gives off. A powder containing
thirteen percent of gas will go more than
twice as far that Is , ono pound of such
powder will raise more than twice as much
flour-as one that evolves but six per cent ,
The economy thus shown , however , Is not
the greatest consideration. The low strength
ponders leave a largo rcsldum in the food ,
which , being of alum In its various forms ,
renders the food positively unwholesome.
Upon this ixjiiit , and in describing the
character of the baking powder found of
highest strength , the city chemist says : "A
high leavening ] ) owei'Is requisite. Pure in
gredients in proper combination quicken and
increase the production of carbonic acid gas.
In this the Hoyal excels all others. It Is the
highest In strength , In f.ibrlquo a faultless
arrangement of agents , pure and wholesome ,
free from adulteration with lime , ammonia
or alum. "
The result of these tests will be read with
Interest and will prove of great benefit to
housekeepers by enabling them to distinguish
the pure from the numerous impure and un
wholesome powders found in the market.

weeks ago upon a chnr o of robbing the
United States malls whlln pursuing his du
ties as a postal clerk on the ICiitms City ami
MuCook run , Is now violently insane In his
cell In tlio Douglas county jnll.
Ho was brought up from Lincoln u mouth
ago. after uraiul Jury had luJlctcil him , to
await his trial at the Miy turm of court.
The evidence was very conclusive ami thuro
appealed to bo no doubt us to tli3 re
sult of thu trial. Ho has a
wife anil family of eight children lu Beat
rice and hU dishonorable pralieamcitt seems
to have preyed upon his mind very heavily.
Marshal Slaughter thinks that It is prob
able that the man was partially ttmno be
fore ho committed the mail robocrics , because -
cause ho was so unusually-bold about the
matter. Some rings that wore put in the
mall pouch on his run as a decoy the day be
fore ho was arrested were found on his nn-
gers when ho was taken Into custody. He
was either a very stupid thief or laboring
under a spoclrs of Insanity.
Within the past week ho has become so
violent that it has been decided to remove
him to the government asylum in Washing
ton. D. U. Ho removes every stitch of
clothing from his person and parades
about his cold , damp cell In a can-
dltion that would make the modest crank

Through the exertion of Police Matron
Cummlngs and others , two inmates of the
county poor house are provided with moro
congenial quarters. Jimmiolloyer , a l-ycar- )
old boy , has been at the institution for
nearly eighteen months , and was confined to
his bed by a spinal disease which baflle.l the
skill of the physicians. His patience and
fortitude in his anliction won him .many
friends , and little Jimmio was a well known
character among the tlvt oilers at the
farm. Wednesday ho was removed to the
Clarkson hospital , where ho will have the
best of care and far pleasanter quarters than
the poor farm afforded.
Mlniiio llarpstcr , a young girl , was tnlrcn
to the poor farm about tlirco months ago
from St. Joseph's hospital. She was a suf-
fcrcr from sp isms brought on by a nervous
affection resulting from overllfting. She
was a very pretty and modest girl and had a
father living somewhere in the city who
promised to take her out of the poor house
in a few weeks and then paid no moro atten
tion to her. The cashier nt the Board of
Trade restaurant and another young lady ,
who had become interested in her case , cir
culated a subscription paper and secured
enough pledges of small weekly contribu
tions to pay the expense of a cot at the
Clarkson hospital. Thcso payments are to
continue until the unfortunate girl recovers ,
and she is already enjoying the benefits of
the hospital.

between Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets ,
shortly after noon yesterday.
Peterson had crawled into the tnanholo to
tnako some repairs and carried a small spirit
lamp in his hand. Suddenly an explosion
occurred and ho was enveloped in a sheet of
flame. Ho had to crawl several feet back-
waids and before ho could extricate himself
the burning gas had scorched his face and
head , burning the flesh to the bono.
The suffering man was taken to Kulm's
drug store and a surgeon summoned , who
dressed his wounds , after which ho was re
moved to his residence at 1017 South Nine

his injuries arc not necessarily fatal.
