Mr. Canfieid's address was a
splendid effort and was highly
appreciated by all who heard it.
Mr. Canfieid recounted briefly

causes that led up to the civil war.
He dwelt at some length on the
events of the war, and concluded
with an earnest and eloquent plea

BACCALAUREATE SERMON.
Preached by Rev. J. E. Evans of
Bagley Wis,, at the Presby­
terian Church.
The baccalaurate sermon was
preached before the graduating class
of the High School last Sunday
evening at the Presbyterian church
by Rev. J. E, Evans of Bagley, Wis.
Mr. Evans took for his theme, "The
Hitherto and The Henceforth" and
his sermon was very instructive and
elevating an should be of great help
to the graduates if they will take its
lessons to heart.
The ohurch was beautifully decor­
ated for the occasion with plants
and flowers, and both the auditorium
and Sunday School room were filled
to the last seat. A special choir
rendered several selections of choice
music.
A unanimous and urgent call has
been extended to Mr. Evans by the
Congregational church of this city,
whioh he now has under considera­
tion, and will in all probability ac­
cept at an early date. He is an
earnest and foroeful speaker and
the church will be fortunate in se­
curing a minister of his qualifica­
tions.

charge of assault and battery. He
plead guilty and paid a fine of $5
and costs of $9.15.
Frank Eoessler, the complainant
in the case against Peters, was ar­
rested on Tuesday on a charge of
larceny. When first arraigned he
plead not guilty, but a few hours
later he changed his plea to guilty
and was given BO days in the county
jail. It appears that Koessler stole
some from the blaoksmith Peters,
who, when he found it out, ad­
ministered corporal punishment to
the culprit, the latter had Peters ar­
rested. Koessler's arrest on charge
of stealing followed, and he is now

A HAPPY EVENT.
Prominent Young People
Nobles County Joined in
Bonds of Matrimony.
The parlor was tastefully decor­
ated with plants and flowers. To
the strains of the wedding march
from Lohrengren, played by Miss
Florence Lysle, the bridal couple
advanced to their place. After the
ceremony a dainty wedding supper
was served.
The young people are well known
popular and start life under very
favorable conditions. They have a
host of friends whom the Advance

READ THE LABEL.
Some of the Alum Bakingl Pow­
ders Offered by Grocers.
As is well known, the laws of
most States require all baking
powders made from alum to show
that fact on their labels.
It is not always that the manu­
facturers comply with the law or if
they do in a technical way, the
•terms used are not intelligible to
the average consumer.
For insttnee "basic aluminum
"sulphate" is nothing* more or lea»
than "alum."
The following list of baking
powders containing alum is made
up from the official reports of the
Food Commissioners or from the
report of the U. S. Agricultural De­
partment at Washington, or other
equally reliable authority:
Baking Powders Contains Alum:
PALACE Contains Alum
Palace Baking Powder Co.. St. Paul
CAMEO... Contains Alum
Cameo Baking Powder Co., Chicago
HOTEL* Contain Alum
Grant Chemical Co.,Chicago
ATLAS Contains Alum
Reid, Murdock & Co. Chicago
CHAPMAN'S Contain Alum
CHICAGO YEAST] contain Aium
Chapman & Smith Co., Chicago
SUPERIOR. Contains Alum
Superior Baking Powder Co., St. Paul
The housekeeper should bear in
mind that alum costs but two cents
a pound while cream of tartar costs
thirty. The quality of the powder
is therefore usually indicated by the
price
