The Measure As Introduced by
Hon. £ W* Bailey
House bill Ho. 459, introdaoed
by oar congressman, reads as fol
lows:
Be it enacted by the senate and
boase of representatives of the
Uuited States of America in con-
gress assembled, That if any debt-
or owing $200 or more shall make
an assignment of bis property,
valid by tbe laws of tbe state, ter-
ritory, or district of Colombia, in
which he may reside or be domi-
ciled, or if he have property in
auy other jurisdiction, then as to
such property, valid according to

to Mr. and Mia. Graves, Oct fT, 1811, by
Mrs. Wash Roberto, of Rocheport, and
its history Is as follows:- In 1881 John
Roberts joined the Confederate army
along with Ben, Bam and Jack Ray,
brothers of Mrs. Roberts. In 1882 this
lady and her sister-in-law, Mrs. John
Roberts, were together putting up pre-
serves, jellies, etc. They filled some jars
which they agreed not to open until their
brothers and husbands should return
safe from the war.
It turned out that John Roberts was
tolled, and as they did not all come back,
the ladies did not open their preserves.
Time rolled on. Mrs. John Roberto moved
to California, where she married again
and became the mother of several chil-
dren and is now dead. Recently Mrs.

robbed of over a hundred millions
annually for the use of the north,

thinks it treason.
IT now seems that the southern
democrats in congress are anxious
for a war with Chili. If this be
the case the president may be
able to get up a fight. There is
no neoesaity for It, or rather there
would have been none had our

will send an apology and that will

"Baking Powders," and the Publio
Health.
The attention of the sanitary of-
ficers of the United States gov-
ernment has been directed to the
matter of baking powders at va-
rious times. Prof. H. A. Mott,
chemist for the government, has
m<tde an analysis over one hun-
dred brands of baking powders,
bought in the open market. He
fouud many of them a ' bad lot." in which he resides, asking for a
such as is exempt by the law of
his domicile from execution and
liability for his debts, aud shall
be for the equal benefit of all bis
creditors, except such as are here-
inafter prohibited or may be with
preference hereinafter allowed.
It sh^ll contain a list of the
names aud residences of all his
creditors, aud a schedule of his!
property exempt and unexempt
from execution, aud tbe amount
due to each creditor, it shall also
contain a statement of the liens
or other incumbrances upon his
property, all of which shall be
verified by the oath of the debtor
to be correct.
Sec. 3. That such assignment
shall not contain any provision for
the benefit of a creditor whose
debt arose from, or is based upon,
in whole or in part, any dealings
in "futures," or in goods, com-
modities, or products embraced
by any "trust;" such assignment
may contain all or any of the fol-
lowing preferences, namely: Debts
due the United States, or any
state lc which any of the property
of tbe debtor is situated, or to the
servants or laborers of the debtor.
The assignment shall be recorded
in lull in the office or offices
wherein mortgages on said prop-
erty are, by law, recordable. The
fees of the trustee shall not ex-
ceed those sllowed by law to ad-
ministrators of the estates of de-
ceased persons in the state of the
debtor's residence.
Sec. 4. That any such debtor,
after the expiration of six months
from the date of the execution of
the deed of assignment and the
acceptance of the trast by the
trustee, may file his petition in
the district court of the United
States for the district in which he
resides, or, if he he a resident of

Savafes Slaughtering Deer.
Game Warden Taylor came in recently
from the lower country, where he has
been kept busy driving the Indians out
of that section. Mr. Taylor reports that
the Utes have been playing sad havoc
with the game, slaughtering wherever
they could. He was very indignant
over it, and from his version of the mat-
ter he has good reason to be. He states
that from the Iron springs divide to Yel-
low creek it is impossible to travel a
hundred yards without finding the bod-
ies of deer lying around, and in most
cases nothing but the hides and brains
have been taken, the brains being used
by the Indians in the process of tanning.
On Blue mountain and in the Lilly park
sections the rotting carcasses can be
seen, while on Snake river they are so
thick as to absolutely poison the air.
Warden Taylor estimates that since
the deer began to travel down the Utes
have killed between 3,000 and 6,000 of
them, and what makes matters worse
the major portion of them are does and
fawns, the bucks always remaining in
the upper country till later in the fall.—

Ths Highest Railway In Inropa.
The opening of a new Alpine railway
—the Brienier Rothhornbahn—is an-
nounced. It is the highest railway in
the Alps and commands magnificent
views. It is 2,851 meters (7,880 feet)
high at the summit level, and ascends
1,682 meters (3,600 feet), or sixty-seven
meters (223 feet) higher than the Pilatua
railway. The journey occupies an hour
and a half. The gauge is 0.8 meter.
The line is a pure rack and pinion rail-
way on the Abt system, and is similar
in construction to the Monte Generoeo
railway.
The steepest gradient is one in four—
that is, less than the maximum Pilatus
•scent. The railway has been built in a
remarkably short space of time; it was
begun so recently as the 1st of October,
1890. No fewer than ten tunnels were
bored; numerous streamlets were
bridged and heavy stone dams had to
be erected.—If on.
The Royal he reported as perfect

Actuated partly by curriosity,

subject, we caused an examina-
tion of this brand, the Royal Bak-
ing Powder, to be made by a com-
petent chemist, and assured our
selves of its purity. Doubtless
there are other brands which are

It is not claimed that all baking
powder adulterations are harmful,
but it is to be urged that there is
great danger in the use of those
miscellaneous powders which
Hood the market or are peddled
from door to door. When, there-
fore, we find so conspicuous an
example of purity in an article of
food as is shown by the analyses
of the Royal, the public and the
medical profession should show
their appreciation of it; should
regard it as a benefaction ; and a
part of the care exercised by tbe
conveyance of all his unexempt
property, and that for one year
prior to the execution of such an
assignment no creditor of such
debtor had been preferred in any
manner except as authorized
by this act, aud that no attach-
ment within that period had been
levied upon the property of the
debtor, and during said time no
act was done, or suffered to be
done, by such debtor, respecting
his business or estate, to prevent
an equal distribution of his estate
amOng his creditors, or give to
one creditor an advantage over
another, shall order and adjudge
that euch debtor be forever dis-
charged from the payment of the
debts mentioned and set forth in
the petition, as well as thos<\ ex-
cluded by the provisions of thi«

rected to advise the use of such

doubtless prove a protective
measure against future ailments,
and save much subsequent
trouble.

The peeler is a piece of wire, nickel
plated, very much in the shape of a but-
ton hook, but with a tiny blade let into
the inner bend of the hook. When the
point of the hook is drawn into the fruit
it slides between the pulp and the peel
without danger of entering either, while
the blade divides the peel easily and rap-
idly, after which it may he removed
without trouble.—*tw York Telegram.
