THE AJtGUS, TUESDAY. OCTOBER 10, lOOfi. DAVENPORT Panic in Morning Fire. There was something of a panic at 1 o'clock yes terday morning when the cry of "fire" sounded through Miss Benton's board ing house in the Ficke building, Fifth and' Main streets. The startled sleep ers were confronted by a dense volume of smoke as they sprang from their beds and they dashed from the house in all sorts of undressed attire. Thd fire department made u quick response to the call, and the flames were check ed with an estimated loss of about $2r,ii. The fire originated In the south cast corner of the building, and though the origin Is not known defin itely It is supposed to have been caus ed by a cigaret thrown down by a young man. The flames forced their way into the hall and across into the adjoining room, and were burning briskly when the timely arrival of the fire; department cut them short. The loss on the building is covered by in surance. , Hoffman Trial Is On. Eddie Hof man. slayer of John Esherg. is on trial in the districr court for murder in the first degree. The case was called at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, and the entire day spent in an attempt to get a jury. In anticipalion of the difficulty over the selection of the jury a special panel of 21 men was drawn at the opening of court. Oeorge W. Scotr, whose firm has charge of the defense, has called to his assistance Attorney "W. A. Foster, repined to be one of the greatest criminal lawyers of the coun try, a man whose client was the only one of the prisoners in the famous Cronin case in Chicago, to be found not guilty. "With Attorney Scott, the defense of Eddie Hoffman will be the effort. of his life. He firmly believes that Eddie fired the fatal shots in self defense, and upon that ground will the prisoner's defense be based. "Never in my entire practice have I felt the weight of my responsibility so neaviiy upon me as in this case." said Mr. Scott, fust before the case was called. The prisoner was brought into court and seated near his attorneys. His face is somewhat fleshier than when he was sent to jail, but it bears the pallor of close confinement. He car ried himself with an air of quiet indif ference, but exhibited considerable nervousness when the jurors were ouestioned as to whether or not they had prejudice against the infliction of the death penalty. Scaffold Knocked from Under Him. John Dingier, a Davenporter, who is employed in the boiler shops at Silvis, met with a painful accident before he had been on the payroll for half a day. He was working with a boilermaker on a scaffold when the traveling crane. carrying an engine, came along and knocked the scaffold down. Dingier landed on the back of his head on a sharp piece of steel on the forward part of the engine and a hole of consid erable size was made in his head. The man who was working with him was not hurt except for some burns from a lamp he was thrown against. Worked it Here, Too. It developed after the trial of Bailey, the insurance grafter, that Bailey is wanted in Des Moines, Burlington. Clinton, Rock Is land and other cities for similar oper ations. When this was learned. Magis trate Roddewig raised his bond to $1,000. Charges of forgery will also be brought against him. Bailey also had in his possession when arrested. a large number of business cards bear ing the inscription, "Peabody & Bailey, Brokers and Bankers. Boston, Mass. Bailpy represented himself as the junior member of this firm, which is a well known one in the Hub City, but which in realitv he had no connection with except to use their name and rep utation in furthering his crooked de signs and motives. ; : Spoke Once in Month!.

You cannot experiment every tune you make a cake or biscuits, or test the strength of your baking powder to find out how much of it you should i.f-e; yet with most baking powders you should do this, for they are put to. gether so carelessly they are never uni form, the quality and strength varying with each can purchased. Therefore, at one time a baking powder will pro duce less leavening gas than at an other. If you base your calculations on the strength and results of a previous can you may. use too much or not enough of the new; your cake or biscuits will not raise; they will remain heavy and your materials in time will be lost; or else you will have a harshly acid or strongly alkaline cake or biscuits. Avoid the cheap and "Big Can" bak ing powders. Cheap baking powders leave bread sometimes bleached ami acid, sometimes yellow and alkaline, and always unpalatable, they are never of uniform strength and quality. Calumet Baking Powder is made of chemically pure ingredients of tested strength. Experienced chemists put it up. The proportions of the different materials remain always the same. Sealed in air-tighb cans. Calumet Bak ing Powder does not nUer in strength and it not affected by atmospheric changes. Yet it is only one-half the price of the trust baking powders. Irt using Calumet you are bound to have uniform cake or biscuits. Calu met contains no cheap, useless, or adulterating ingredients so commonly used to increase the weight. Food pre pared from it is free from Rochelle salts, alum, lime, ammonia, and the cost is moderate. Calumet Baking Powder complies in every respect with all pure food laws, both state and na tional. soooooooooo COLONA SAND STONE QUARRIES Sawed Building - Stone, Ashlar and Trimmings a Specialty For cheapness, durability and beauty, excelled by none.
