(jalntians 0-7, Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also Under the head of morals he referred to the recent tragedy on our street. and said substantially as follows It was not the result of a sudden impulse.

The deed itself indicated that it was "remediated and planned. It was not only iijurderous, but cowardly. Whoever did the killing, and it is not in our province to say who, did it because he was trained for that kind of work. He could not have done that at the age of twenty. Years of schooling: in dark deeds were necessary to fire those fatal shots.

The trouble now is that the guilty man is prepared for a iike deed, and under a pretext, could do the same thing again. His sowing has been made, and ho reaps his harvest, though it be the death of the slain. By this act, our whole community is involved. It touches every home in our city. The fair nsimeoi'Stevens Point has been made a by-word throughout our land.

Lite is of little value, and in constant peril. We ran only redeem our good name by ft rigid i-iiforcernent of law. Xo act of violence will restore the equilibrium, but a healthy public sentiment ought to prevail for the just I punishment of the guilty. InUns we may hope for safety. The Wood County Bridge.

The Centralia Tribune gives the following incidents connected with the destruction of a portion of the Grand Rapids bridge, last week. On Tuesday last, the 10th an ice gorge formed at the foot of th; rapids, extending all the way across the Wisconsin river, from the island on the Centralia side to tlv? Grand Rapids shore. The ice below that point to the old Xeeves dam remained solid and unbroken held up as is was by the piers still remaining in the river since the okl mill was removed. On Wednesday, the great body of broken ice piled up in all fantastic shapes, was expected forward, through the pressure of another jam from above. The Wood County bridge was, all the morning, crowded with people watching for the coming crash.

At 12 o'clock, the spectators left their respective places of observation tore- pair to their dinner. At P. t. hbout forty persons liad returned and tood on the bridge when the ice was noticed to move, and one party remarked: "Themiddlepierisgoing," md sure enough it was "going," th'3 icel muscles of the spectators of both exes were called into immediate )lay, and in a minute or so, the bridge was cleared, one lady arriving at the abutment on the Centralia side, just as the end of the stringers were fall- ng on the ice below. It is almost a miracle that no accident or loss of ife happened, and that no team was srossing the bridge at the time.

When the fugitives turned around 1,0 see what had taken place, thev could locate the first pier no more the west span of the bridge had slid along with the ice along the Centralia shore, grazing it several buildings which project beyond ow water mark supported by piers or posts into the river.

A from there last Monday f-aid. Never before has the water been so high, although the surplus is being carried off by a current a mile wide and flowing at the rate of eight miles an hour. Seven times the water has broken through the embankment that prevents the overflow of the Wisconsin into the Fox, but sufficient holp hai been at hand to repair the breaks before they got beyond control.

Every available man in the city, has turned out with pick find shovel to the alarm of danger. The St. Paul railroad has three construction trains and all the men they could get hold of helping to protect th tracks nnd the plank road, and incidentally the city of Portage. For two miles the water reaches the rails of the track of the Madison division and a rise of four inches will swe'p away four miles of the main track between Lake George and In some places along the city fro it the water lacks only an inch of flowing over the improvised dyke. The First ward now lies from four to sev- A a of tlie Cltltf Brand'- in the markel-Tlielr Strength and Value Ancertaincd.

The Ohio State Dairy and Food Commission, under the direction of the Legislature of that State, has made public the result of ltd recent official examination of tbe baking powders of the market. As many of the brands analyzed are in use throughout the country, the rep6rt of the Commission will be found of general interest. The fact is brought our. by the report that of the thirty different brands of baking powder analyzed, twenty are made from alum, a substance declaied by the highest medical authorities to be injurious to health when used in food. The Commission classify tlie baking powders into three general divisions, according to their value 3 st.

Cream of Tartar BakingPowdere id. Phosphate Baking Powder Alum Baking Powders. The Commission explains that the best baking powder that which, the ingredients being healthful gives off the largest amount of leavening gas and leaves the smallest amount of residum in the bread. A small amount of carbonate of ammonia, which is considered healthful, is used in some of the cream of tartar powders to give them a higher strength. Tin- Commission says that alum is undoubtedly a hurtful salt.

The report ranks the powders and shown the amount in each of inert resultants, which in usin? it would appear a.s residuum in the bread, n-i follows Per Cent, inei or llesidmim. or TARTVIJ POWDERS. lloyal 7.25 J'r.

This in the phosphate powders is largely of lime; in the alum powders it is chiefly alum. It vrill gra tilling to the public to observe that the in most; genera! ctio ioyal, is also the purest. In comparing first two powders on the list, for instance--the Royal and Dr. Price's-- the nert matter in Price's is seen to be about ive in seven more than in the former, a difference of 71 3-7 per the Royal )eing purer than Price's by a correspond- ng figure The carbonic or leavening gas produced by the powders indicates their strength and their true value may bo ascertained by considering the amount this gas in with their inert matter or residuum as shown above.

Royal is therefore 12.4 per cent, stroneer, as well as 71 percent, purer than Price's, etc. The relative strength and purity of all the powders be computed in like manner.

It begins to look very mucji as if all the votes cast in South Carolina this year will not be Democratic, for unusual activity is reported among the republicans in that state. The state central mommittee has called a state convention to meet at Columbia, May 1st, to elect delegates to the Chicago convention, and organization locally is going on more actively than in many years. If the Democrats do carry the state, the Republicans do not propose to hide themselves and allow it to go so by default.

A correspondent writing from Belmont seems to be laboring under the impression that a circuit judge can say whether a case shall be appealed to the supreme court or not. A circuit udge has no more control over appeals than the King of the Sandwich Islands. The right of appeal to the court of last resort is one that is guaranteed to every citizen by the constitution. "Forward to Spotsylvania." In the Century General Sherman contributes article on "The Grand Strateirv" of the from which we quote tlif following: ''With t.ic month of May came the season for action, and by the 4th all his armies were in motion. The army of Butler at Fort Monroe was his left, Meade's army thf center, and Skerraan at Chattanooga his right.

Butler was to move against Richmond on the south of James river. Meade straight against Lee, intreuci ed behind the Rapidau, and Sherman to attack Joe Johnston, and push him to and beyond Atlanta. Ti.is -was as fai as human foresight could penetrate. Though Meade commanded the Army of the Potomac, General Grant substantially controlled it, and on the 4th of May, 1SU4, he crossed the Rapidan, und at noon next day attacked Lee. He knew that a certain amount ol lighting, had to be done to his end, and also to pay the penalty of former failures.

In the there was no room for grand or even minor tactics: but the fighting was desperate, losses to the Union army being, according to Phisterer, 37,737, to the Confederate loss of difference due to Lee's iutrenchment and the blind nature of the country in Avhich the battle was fought. On the night of May 7 both parties paused, appalled by the fearful slaughter; but Genera! Grant commanded 'Forward by the left That in ray judgment, the ''Ujirems moment hie life.

The public towel is also never safe to use, that is, the towel that the pub lie wipes on. It not only removes the moisture that it is its purpose to do, but it rubs off scales, pieces of dead skin, lymph from cuts and abrasions, perspiration from the pores, mucus from the nostrils, pus from sored and ulcers and any liquid that is excreted apon the surface of the body. These impurities and disease germs are retained in the meshes of the towel and are ready to attach themselves upon subsequent users of the towel.
