Council Meeting.
At the meeting of the city
council held April 27, a large
amount of business was transacted.
The full board was present with
Mayor Madison in the chair.
Bills aggregating 185.37 were
allowd.
A petition for a sewer as. re
ered to the committee on streets
and alleys.
Contracts were awarded the
General Electric Co., for meters and
multiple alternating current arc
lamps.
The use of the city park was
tendered the Chautauqua Associa
tion.
The poll tax was fixed at two
days labor.
A. E. Tripp was granted a rebate
on water of 154.33.
A resolution was adopted termi­
nating the water contract with the
Omaha railroad.
The Electric Light Committee
was instructed to purchase the alter­
nating current lighting system for
street lighting. This will cost
$563.00 but the saving in fuel etc.,
will make up the cost in a year.
Library Notes.
The Library Board of Directors
has decided for the present to have
the library kept open for public use,
only on Mondays, Wednesdays and
"Saturdays, afternoons and evenings.
The following books on birds will
be found here.
How to Attract the Birds—Blan
chan.
Bird Studies With a Camera
Chapman.
Aunt May's Bird Talks—Poyntz.
Every day Studies About Birds—
Torr-ey.
Wake Robin—Burroughs.
Bird Magazine.
Pool's Index has recently been
added to the working material.
This volume covers the contents of
37 important periodicals 1815-1899.
We also have Reader's Guide to
periodical literature which indexes
67 leading publications 1900:1904
and the monthly Reader's Guide
for the current magazines.
Magazines contain a vast amount
of valuable material on all subjects,
much of which cannot be found
elsewhere. All of this would be
inaccessible without that most use­
ful key, the Index to periodical
literature. These indexes are for
the public use.
Perhaps you may have a file of
old magazines and recall a certain
valuable article among them which
you would like to use or read again,
you have forgotten just when it
appeared and it takes a great deal
of time 4o go through them in
search for it. Save time, visit the
library and look it up in the index.
K. Ps. At Church.
A company of thirty four Knights
of Pythias attended services in a
body at the M. E. church last Sun­
day morning. Rev. Cahoon
preached one of his best sermons,
tftifiwg for his theme the cardial
tenants of the order.
A Pertinent Pointer.
No town will become
business center so long
rely
men on
a good
as its
a few mer-
business
chants to make the effort to bring
trade to town. Too often the men
in a few lines of trade are about
the only ones that reach out after
trade. Other merchants wait until
these men induce the people to come
to town and content themselves
with the trade that naturally drifts
to their place. A public spirited
man shoud ask himself if he is doing
his. part to attract people to come
to town to trade in helping the en­
tire business community, and no
town is a success unless all lines are
working to extend the trade as far
as possible and trying to bring a
larger territory in the circle in
which the town is the business
center.—Ex.
S. J. Anderson, supervisor of Elk
township, wm in the city Friday
on a trading trip.

C£h£re a r4 three-en
Kinds of ingredients used in making
th&itfii&e diferpbt varieties of lbak-f
ing powders on the market, viz:*
—(1) Mineral-Acid or Alum,
(2) Bone-Acid or Phosphate, and
(3) Cream of Tarter made from
grapes. It is important, from the
standpoint of health, to know some­
thing about these ingredients, and
which kind is used in your baking
powder,
(1) Mineral-Acid or Alum, is
made from a kind of clay. This is
mixed with diluted oil of vitriol
and from this solution a product is
obtained Wh'icii is alum. Alum is
cheap costs about two cents a
pound, and baking powder made
with this Mineral-Acid sells from
10c to 25c a pound.
(2) Bone-Acid, or Phosphate, is
the basis of phosphate^ baking
powders and the process is fully
described in the patents issued to
a large manufacturer of a phosphate
powder. The CJ. S. Patent Office
Report gives a full and exact des­
cription but the following extract
is enough:
"Burned bones, after being
ground, are put into freshly diluted
oil of vitriol and with continual
stirring and in the following pro­
portion,''etc.
From this Bone-Acid phosphate?
baking powders are made such
powders sell from 20 to 30 pents a
pound.
(3) Cream of Tartar exists in all
ripe grapes, and flows with the
juice from the press in the manu­
facture of wine. After the wine! is
drawn off the tartar is scraped from
the cask, boiled with water, and
crystals of Cream of Tartar, white
and .very pure, separate and are'
collected. Itd
from the form in whioh it originally
existed the grape. Cream of
Tartar, then, while the most ex­
pensive, is the only ingredient that
should be used in a baking powder
to act upon the soda, as its whole
someness is beyond question.
Cream of Tartar baking powders
sell at about 40 to 50 cents a pound.
Such are the facts, and every
one,.careful of Jthe health of the
family, should remember this rule:
—Baking powers selling from 10 to
25 cents a pound are made of..
Minera{^Acids those selling from
20*to 30 cents of Bone-Acids and
those frouf 40 to 50 cents of Cream
of Tartar made from grapes.
A New Pastor
The thirty-ninth annual confer­
ence of the Minnesota German
Evangelical association was held at

H. Muelhausen formerly pastor of
the church in this city has been
transferred to New Ulm, and Rev.
G. G. Schmidt, of Wadena comes
here.
