That was very thoughtful of Bob
Bunn last Tuesday in manufacturing
keg of beer for his friends. Bob knowing
this to be election day, and knowing, too
that the saloons would not be open
this dav, thought it would be impossible
tor them to go through the day without
something to brace up on, is why he
manufactured a keg of beer. But those
that were so unfortunate as to partake of
Bob’s beer, say it he had not put so
much cevenne pepper, morphine and
croton oil in his beer they would never
have known but what it was the genuine
Anheuser-Busch or Lemp’s. i-

HOUSEKEEPING PESTS.
Complaints are made troin various sec-
tions of a band of baking powder tramps
whose tricks upon unsuspecting house-
keepers seem to partake very much of the
nature of confidence operations. The
band is composed of women, although
employed and directed by an agent ot the
other sex, and their methods ot proce-
dure, as explained by several ladies who
have been victimized, is as follows: Ob-
taining access to the kitchen, they intro-
duce the subject of baking powders, in-
quiring the kind used in the family.
Being shown the can, perhaps a fresh,
full one, they volunteer to “test” it to
ascertain its qualities. Their “test” con-
sists in placing the can on a hot stove or
over a lamp or gas jet, or in mixing the
baking powder with water both hot and
cold. It the baking powder is good for
anything the heat will, of course, expel
the gas, which, being ammoniacal or car-
bonic, is apparent to the sense of smell.
The claim is then made that this odor
indicates something detrimental,although
as a matter of tact a baking powder that
would give off no gas when subject to
heat would be without leavening power
and yalueless, They will also mix the
baking powder given them with water. It
pure it effervesces quickly. The baking
powder they peddle being similarly mixed
foams up slowly like yeast, standing, per-
haps, over the top of the glass. This
they claim as evidence of superiority,
whereas it is the exhibition of a trick
only, their baking powder having been
specially prepared to inaxe this test by
the addition of flour, gum or albumen.
It is sure evidence of adulteration. Of
course the object of these fraudulent
trick* is to destroy confidence in all other
kinds ot baking powder, and to sell the
particular brand lor which the. women
are traveling.
Were this the whole of the operation,
housekeepers would not otten be deceived.
Every intelligent person knows that bak-
ing powder is not made to be used in this
wav, but in cooking where its action is
entirely different from that produced by
dry heat or by mixture with water alone.
The- chief object of this jugglery is to
destroy the baking powder given for test-
ing; or by heating it to drive off its
leavening gases, and so weaken it that
when used it will fail to work. At the
next baking there is heavy food, of course,
and the “tramp” probably gets the credit
of having told the housekeeper a valuable
fact, instead ot having spoiled her baking
powder, as was actually the case. The
average “tramp” will, in this way, destroy
from fittv to seventy-five pounds of bak-
ing powder a day.
A second method of spoiling for use the
baking powder in a kitchen where thev
are not permitted to experiment with it,
is by dexterously throwing in the can a
small quantity of salt, »oda or powdered
lime. Again, should there chance to be
j no baking powder in the house, the oper-
ators will produce, of the kind used by
the lamily, a sample that has been pur-
posely adulterated or “doctored” to make
such an exhibit as they desire under the
so-called test.
The only way to protect our food from
being contaminated by tramps ot this
kind is to turn all persons who wish or at-
tempt to tamper with it unceremoniously
from the door, and to use those articles,
only, which experience has proved satis-
factory, or the official tests have estab-
lished as pure and wholesome.

Missouri Pacific, and went out on his first
trip Tuesday.
It was stated confidentaliy upon the
streets, Thursday, that the headquarters
of the southwestern division of the Gould
system of telegraph w'ould be removed
from Little Rock, Ark., to this city, and
that plans were now being perfected to
furnish accommodations for the increased
force. When this change is ettectea we
will have upwards of fifteen more train
dispatchers in Denison than we have at
present, and the dispatching for the en-
tire Gould southwestern system will be
done at this point.
Work was stopped Thursday on the
grade of the new Missouri Pacific yards
in the southern portion of the city, tor
the purpose of allowing the engineers to
make some changes in the plans ot the
work. When these changes are effected
operations will commence anew.
Two new Baldwin engines for the Gulf,
Colorado & Santa Fe passed through the
city Thursday en-route tor Fort Worth.
The water well of the Houston and
Texas Central, at this point, on which
work has been in progress the principal
part of nine months, has been abandon-
ed for the present. It has reached a depth
of 375 feet, 78 feet of which was dug with
the pick and shovel, the balance being
drilled. The drilling apparatus, which
has been In use at the well, was only
good for 300 feet and it having reached
the length of its tether was obliged to be
withdrawn. There Is no more water in
the well than there was at a depth of 28
feet, but we understand that the well will
be drilled still deeper.
An order was received Monday by all
Texas ticket agents of the Missouri Pa-
cific and leased and operated lines, not to
sell any tickets tor the north beyond
Dsnison until arrangements were made to
meet the requirements ot the Interstate
Commerce bill. By this arrangement
tickets are sold and all baggage re-checked
at Denison, and as a consequence ticket
agent Rigsby and baggagemaster llusted
are given their hands lull.
Nearly all the eastern railroads are now
experimenting with plans for heating
passenger coaches with steam. The New
York Central is believed to have found a
pertect process. If this be true, we may
soon expect the final disappearance ot the
murderous coal stove. But the reform
should go still further and include the
abatement of the coal oil lamps. With
these still in use, the danger is in no wise
removed.— Morning News.
The Missouri Pacific passenger train
from the north was one and a half hours
late Wednesday due to a difficulty w th
miners at McAlester. It is said that a
large crowd of these men boarded the
train and insisted on being carried to
Savanna free of charge, as they were go-
ing there to assist in rescuing bodies of
the men buried by the disaster of Mon-
day night. The conductor refused to let
them ride without tickets and hence the
delay. It is probable that action will be
taken against them tor stopping the mail.
Wm. Moon, conductor on the .Texas
Pacific out of Big Springs, arrived in the
city last week in company with his wife
and baby. William remained in Denison
shaking hands with his many Jriends,
during the week, and Monday will start
for Illinois to be absent six weeks or two
months, for the benefit ot Mrs. Moon’s
health.
This is, as the new music hail gag has
it, “all very fine and large,” but what are
you going to light with if you don’t use
lamps, and what is the nature of the per-
tect process ot steam heating which has
been discovered by the New York Cen-
tral? We have traveled up north in the
winter, when we nearly froze to death
where the cars were heated by hot air
jiipes from a single heater such as is used
in an ordinary chair car, anji we would
expect to experience a still lower tem-
perature in cars-heated by steam general
ed at the locomotive and carried through
a hundred feet of cold pipe back to the
rear end of the train. What is wanted
more than the abatement ot stoves and
lamps in a train is for railioad companies
to keep the r roads in proper repair so
that accidents will be of rare occurrence,
and the stoves and lamps thus prevented
troin having the chance to roast people.
There are a hundred disasters caused by
defective rails, rotten ties and weak
bridges tor one that is caused from burn-
ing by stoves and lamps produced by
other causes. Of course, when a train
goes into the ditch from any of the
causes above mentioned, the stoves and
lamps generally fire the wreck and add to
the destruction, but if the track had been
kept in good condition the train would
not have left the rails and the accident
would not have happened. Let the roads
hire more men to take care of their
tracks, hire good ones to look after the
condition of bridges, have a sufficient
force of competent train dispatchers,
switch and train men and deeidents will
occur so seldom that the stoves and lamps
will have no chance to get in their work
at roasting We would rather run the
risk of escaping being cooked by a coal
stove than of going into the ditch where
the road is rough as a cordaroy bridge,
the ties rotten and the iron battered into
slivers by continued use.

Runaway.
Jack Walters, in company with another
colored man, was driving a spiritited
black horse belonging to the former, up
Rusk avenue Tuesday afternoon, when in
turning into Main street the horse be-
came frightened and dashed around the
corner so quickly that the two men be-
came overbalanced and were thrown from
their seat in the delivery wagon, to which
the horse was attached, out upon the
pavement. Walters lit upon his head on
the hard stones and sustained a couple of
severe scalp wounds, while his companion
lit partially upon his side and left shoulder
and was not hurt. Almost at the same
instant the horse slipped and fell upon
his side, but springing up, gotclear of the
wago and ran up street and was stopped
near the Colonnade. No further dam-
age was done.

Dead Infant in a Well.
While some negroes were engaged in
cleaning out an old well, on the lot be-
longing to Brooks & Harris, located
opposite the foundry, one day last
week, they discovered the remains of a
white infant wrapped up in an old dress,
which belonged to a girl, and probably
two or three years of age. The baby had
been in the water several weeks, as the
body fell to pieces as soon as it was ex-
posed to the air. No inquest was held,
but the dress which has been washed may
lead to the detection of the guilty party.
Fortunately the water had not been used
tor several months.

spectacles are used in this city than of
any other manufacture. They are first-

glasses the Gazetteer would advise you
to call and have the doctor fit your eyes

That Bate Ball Game.
In accordance with a challenge from
the Mo. Pacific Base Ball Association,
contained in last week’s Gazetteer, a
game of base ball was played between the
challengers and the Denison Base Balt
Association’s nine, at the Miller Springs
grounds, last Sunday afternoon. As the
score shows the Mo. Pacific boys did good
work during the first two innings, but
faiied to keep up their end and came out
badly beaten, the score standing at the
end of seven innings, 28 to 8 in favor of
the Denison team. The following is the
score: '

Killed by the Gan.
A stranger, whose name is supposed to
be A. N. Dees, from papers on jiis per-
son, a vender ol some medical prepara-
tion, was killed by the cars in the yards
here about 7 o’clock last Thursday eve-
ning, while attempting to board a north-
bound train. He had two valises con-
taining his preparation, which he threw
on top of the car while in motion, and in
attempting to get on himself, he fell un-
der the wheels and his body was horribly
mangled, death resulting in a few min-
utes. It is thought he had been engaged
in peddling in the nation, and may be
known to parties in McAlester. He had
been seen making purchase* in Denison
on several occasions.
