The Ames Manufacturing company of Chicopee has completed a silver statue of the noted trotter Sutiol hitched to a sulky, upon which is seated an equal!' noted driver. The piece of statuary is one fifth life tize and is mounted upon a bronze stand ard. The sculptor is C. E. Ballm of Salt Lake City. The whole piece of statuary whs molded from silver dollars. It required 331 ounces cf silver The sulky is an exact fac simile of the one the mare made her record of '2:0$ with which for a time was a world beater. The piece is to be preseuted at a coiniug ban quat in New York. A recipe for whitewash that will not be washed off by rain, reads as follows: One peck of lime should be slackened in five gallons of water, in which 1 pouud of rice has been boil ed until it is all dissolved. The rice water should be used hot, and the mixture covered closely until the lime is slacked. Then add r pound of salt, and the whitewash must fce heated to a boiling point when used. 4a1A Baking 99 wm m mr u rm. i i im The only Pure Cream of Tartar Powder. No Ammonia; No Alum.

The action of the Republican State Con vention in adapting a l'.'C d option temperance pl.ink iu its plalfoi iu has stirred up the people of tLe State as they have n t been iugusc-u in years, and the cimpaigu will proba bly be exceedingly lively a-.d the outcome problematical. The pro hibition element of the party are especially disappointed, and many of the delegates returned to their homes in despair at the outlook. The opinion of thu liberal members of the party is that the platform will Ptieugthe l the party iu the auti prohibition parts, and materially weaken it in the others. The third party prohibitionists are much stir red up, and will attempt to make a great deal of capital out of the itu aUon. It is even hinted that Presi dent Ayleswortn, of Drake Univer sity, intends reconsidering his decli nation of the gubernatorial nomina tion tendered him by the Prohibition party. Some of his friends held a conference this afternoon for the purpose of consulting on the adis ability of such a movement The failure of Gen. Drake to get the nomination, they argue, will give President Aylesworlh the support of the Christian Church, and he has already been given to understand that the Populists will indorse him in the event of his consenting to be a candidate. The Democrats will be driven to making a straight license platform at their Convention next week, but their position will be ma terially weakened by the Republican Convention's action. There is some wild talk about running ex-Gov. Lar rabee or some other well-known Prohibitionist as citizens candidate lor liovernor, out sucu action is harldly likely. Kmcaid Makes a Statement. Mound Citv, Kan , Aug. 18. Much to the surprise of all, save pos sibly his relatives, Robert Kiucaid, ex-banker and fx capitalist of Linn county, returned to his home early last night. He was about the stteets boldly and openly, aud at his home denied himself to no one who called. Mr. Kiucaid denies most vigorously the truth of the stories that he left home with the intention of escaping his creditors, or that he has been guilty of auy criminal act. He says that he has been untortuuate, noth ing more; that he went to Iowa in the hope of realizing on some prop erty owned there, and that if allow ed to handle his own affairs that he would have been able to pay all he owes. Harrisonviile, Mo., Aug. 20. Am brose F. Summers, a man about 55 years old, committed suicide last night by taking a large dose of strychnine.

Ii.is followed tLe example of the House, an I ns tmnsfeired the t-uaii'-irti contest frmu committee to the floor of il- Senate. The finance i omui:.tee reported tod 13 the u.t asure ..i;ie-.l upon last night, which is fimmd on the Hili bill and which rept-.tim the Slum an law, but. pledges til" government to the poli cy of biirirtaliisii). At the same time the minority of the committee pre seutcd a report recunuieudi'ig a substitute biil providing for the fiee coinage of silver at the ratio of 20 to 1. It is impossible to predict when the Senate will begin the dis cussion of these measures. Nithcr side appears to be iu a hurry to force the question, as each side is evidently uncertain of its numerical strength. The only significant dV velopment was the arraying of Sen ator Voorhees on the side of the un conditional repeal men, but the Indi ana Senator explains his posit iou by saying he thinks unconditional re peal of the Shermau act will relieve the fiuaucial stringency and that the battle for bimetallism cau be fought out hereafter in which contest he will be found on the side of bime tallism. The full text of the bill is as fol lows, omitting the enacted clause: That so much of the act approved July 14, 1890, entitled '"An act di rectiug the purchase of silver bul lion and issue of treasury notes thereon, and for other purposes," as directs the Secretary of the Treas ury to purchase from time to time silver bullion to the aggiegate amount 01 4,ouu,UUU ounces, or so much thereof as may be offered in eacn mouth, at the market price thereof, not exceeding one dollar for 371 25-100 grains of pure silver, and to issue in payment for such purchases treasury notes of the united states, oe ana tun same is hereby repealed. And it is hereby declared to be the policy 01 the tinted States to continue the use of both gold aud silver into money of equal intrinsic aud ex changeable value, such equal ity to be secured through interna tional agreement or by such safe guards of legislation as will iusure the maintenance of the parity in value of the coins of the metals aud the equal power of ever dollar at all times iu the markets and in the pay ment of debts; and it is hereby furth er declared that the efforts of the government should be steadily di rected to the establishment of such a safe system of bimetallism as will maintain at all times an equal power of every dollar coined or issued by the United States in the markets and in the payment of debts. Senator Voorhees will not, as he had originally intended, ask the Sen ate to fix a day for the vote on the bill. He 6aid this morning that he did not think a vote would be had on it for some time, as there appear ed to be a disposition on the part of Senators to debate the measure for an indefinite time. Mr. Voorhees, chairman of the finance committee, concurred iu the necessity cf action ou the natioual bank bill. He had heard the taunt go around that he was seeking to do something in the interest of the national banks. He was seeking nothing of the kind. He was seek ing to avail himself of their power, of their interest, of their cupidity in order to increase the circulating medium aud thereby to meet the pressing wants of the laboring peo ple. It was not a bill in the interest of the banks. There was no thought or inspiration of that kind in his mind. After further discussion the mo ;tion to adjourn was withdrawn and .Mr. Voorhees reported fiom the I committee on finance a bill to dis- continue the purchase of silver bul j lion and declaring it to be the poli 1 I cy of the Luited States to continue the use of both gol J and silver as standard money. THK (iU;i: QUESTION. Figure! Complied by Secretary Carlisle. Washington, D. C. August '20 j Senator Voorhees, during his speech j on the fiuaucial question in the Sen- j ate on Tuesday next, will read the j following letter from Secretary Car nsie, 10 snow me aimcuuies in tne way of the free coinage of silver at a changed ratio: "Treasury Department, Office of the Secretary, Washington, D C , Aug 19 Hon. Daniel W. Voorhees, United States Senat: Sir Refer ring to our conversation relative to the probable cost incident to the change from the present coining ratio bet wee" "oil and silver (1 to 0 ... . 1 lb for etandrtid silver dollars an i 1 to 1-1 95 for subsidiary silver) to a ratio of 1 to 20, you are respectfully informed that the number of silver dollars coined since 1878 aggrr gates 419,332,450, Without any allow ance for abrasion and loss incident to melting the same, the coining val ue of these dollars at a ratio of 1 to 20 would be 833,222,162. or $84, 310,228 less than their present face value. To recoiu these dollars at a ratio of 1 to 20 would require the addition of 81,367,700 ounces of new bullion, which at the average price paid for silver, under the act of July 14, 1890 (93Jc, would cost $75,883, 700. Iu addition to this, I estimate that there would be a lows frern abrasion and iu the melting of these dollars of at least $3,000,000, which amouuts, together with the differ ence in the face value of the coin (84,310,22S,) would have to be reiai- bursed to tue Ireasury by an aporo priation for that purpose. From I delegates back from Chicago held a the fact that the silver dollars are j meeting at the Hoffman House to distributed througbout the country, ; day t- arrange for a silver mass it would be necessary, as they r deem at the several Sub-Treasuries, to transport them to the mints, aud the expense of transportation fcr $300,000.000 the amount outside of the stock f 11 hand at the Sub Treasuries and mints at Philadelphia, San Francisco aud New Orleans would average at, least 1 per cent, or $4,500,000. It is therefore, esti- mated that the cost of recoining the silver dollars already coined would be as follows: New bullion to be added $.m,-"3,79" Loes by abrasion and melting n.imft.iHrfi Co6t or coinage (labor, material , etc) ,Io, ftm Copper for alloy ) Transportation of dollars to mints I 0"0 Total Ssli .741 ,;m Tue stock of subsidiary silver coin in the country is estimated at 1 $77,000,000, which at full weight ; would contain 55,699,875 ounces of ! fine silver. This amount at a ratio ! of 1 to 20 would coin $55,S43,S02. or $21,15G, 197 less than the pros-' eat face value. To recoin $77,000,000 of subsid-! iary silver into an equal amount of j fractional coin at a ratio of 1 to 20 would require the addition of 18. 797,622 fine ounces, which at 93c per fine ounce (the average price paid for silver under the act of July 14, 1890,) would cost $17,258,785. j There would be a loss of about 2 ! per cent by abrasion from the face i value, or about $1,925,000.

The discovery was made early this morning that burglars had entered the Missouri Pacific freight office at this point and investigation by the ogent showed that $4,000 has disap peared. No trace of the robbers has yet been found. The fiit thing which atti acted tie agent's attention upon opening ti e office was the door of the safe lying ou the floor at a distance of ten feet from the safe itself.

You can Economize By using Royal Baking Powder to the exclusion of all other leavening agents. The official ana lysts report it to be 27 greater in leavening strength than the other powders. It has three times the leavening strength of many of tiie "cheap alum powders. It never fails to make good bread, biscuit and cake, so that there is no flour, eggs or butter spoiled and wasted in heavy, sour and uneatable food. Do dealers attempt, because times are dull, to work off old stock, or low grade brands of baking powder ? Decline to buy them. During these times all desire to be economical, and Royal js the most Economical Baking Powder. COUNTY $50,000.00 rreti!eot . . . Yipe-rre!'!eDt -Stl Vice-l"retii(tent Cahirt Washington, D.
