John Butler had George Kelly ar-rested
charged with taking his rooster
or ratal r one that ha bad boarding
in his chicken coop that belonged to
Michael Hennessey, of Manayunk.
According to the sworn testimony of

Tuesday night. When Miss Butler
isked him who he was and what he
wanted, he answered, giving his name
and saying that his rooster had gone
into Butler's coop, and he asked per-mission
to get It out.
This was given him by Miss Butler.
On Thursday Butler missed his roos-ter.

refused, and then a warrant followed
and the bearing was given by the llur-
Kelley wuived a hearing, preferring
to have the court in Norristown settle
the question of ownership. He pub-leqnentty
said that the rooster was
siven to him by a friend, as he can

THIRTY-THREE BALLOTS
In the Republican Borough Conven-tion
held at Norristown, on Tuesday
night Stephen T. Major was nominated
for Burgess on the thirty-third ballot.
tfi« vote standing Major, 20 1-3 votes;
Eiroy Williams. 10; Joseph N. King.
E 1-3; and Jesse II. Farrington. 4.
For twenty six ballots Major was
one vote short of a majority, and for
fix ballots two votes short.
Ezra H. Brown, the present Tax Col-lector,
was renomlnateil by acclama-tion,
having no opposition.
The nominee for Burgess Is a nat-ive
of the borough and Is thirty-six
years old. I'ntll this month he was a
transcriber In the Recorder of Deeds'
office. During the last session of the
I^'glsluture he served as pair clerk
under Resident Clerk Fettcrolf, at liar
risburg.
The most significant feature of the
delegate election returns came from
the fashionable suburb of German-town,
where many of the most pros-perous
business men reside. The fight
against the Quay forces In these dis-tricts
was led by the secretary of the
so-called Business Men's Republican
League, which since it espoused the
cause of Wanamaker has dwindled in
membership until It Includes but few
more than the manufacturers and mer-chants
who sell goods to the merchant
prince's big department stores. They
are, of course, Btaunch Wanamaker
men, and the names of many of them
appear attached to frequent anti-Quay
pronunciamentos, which are Issued
from this league for publication in the
newspapers which carry the immense
Wanamaker advertisements. William
T. Tllden. the secretary of this league,
and a rampant anti-Quay man. and
State Senator Henry, who has been a
constant visitor to Washington recent-ly,
working against the seating ot
Colonel Quay in the United States sen-ate,
were both defeated at the primary
election and hill Hedged Quay adher-ents
were elected. Senator Henry,
throughout his entire senatorial dis-trict,
did not succeed In electing a sin-gle
anti-Quay delegate to the state
oonventlon. There was gloom at the
headquarters of the Business Men'a
League when the news was received
that the conventions had all been con-trolled
by the Quny men In the dis-tricts
In which they counted on as
their strongholds.

candidates. It Is probable that the
politicians will have to hunt around
to get candidates to fill the ticket
Although there may be a rush for plac-es
at the laBt moment.
In the Second Ward Dr. George M.
bules will have a unanimous renomi-natlon
for the School Board. For
Town Council John Campbell is a can-iiiuate
for nomination, and Edward
<!tott'8 name has also been mentioned
Ir. this connection.
In the Third Ward A. L. Miller will
be renominated for the School Board,
and it is probable that W. H. Macon-a<
hy will also be unanimously named
for Town Council, although the friends
of ex-Councilman D. H. Ross are try-ing
to persuade him to enter the race.
In the Fourth Ward J. Ellwood Lee
will be named for Town Council. For
the School Board William Cleaver and
Burgess Jacoby are named as possi-bilities.
In the Fifth Ward James B. Holland

In the Second Ward the Democrats
arc mentioning the names of Luke
Welsh, M. M. Sweeney and Thomas
Loftus as probable candidates for Town
Council. If Mr. Sweeney does not en-ter
the Council contest he will probab-ly
be named for School Director.
The Third and Fifth Wards are so
overwhelmingly Republican that it Is
hard to get up much Interest so far
ahead of election. It Is probable that
the prlmeary meetings of those wards
will lie held on Saturday evening of
n< xt week.
In the Fourth Ward Councilman
Toner will be unopposed for the nomi-nation,
as Mr. Harvey has decided not
to make a contest in view of his early
removal from the borough.
Mr. Slnnott, the present School Di-rector,
will also be unopposed for the
nomination.
There are no candidates for bur-gess

now with the team. It will mark the

one of the fastest teams in the Inter-state

Alum ?
Prof. Geo. F. Barker, M.D., University of
Penn.: "All the constituents of alum remain
(from alum baking powders) in the bread, and
the alum itself is reproduced to all intents and
purposes when the bread is dissolved by the
gastric juice in the process of digestion. I re-gard
the use of alum as highly injurious."
Dr. Alonzo Clark: "A substance (alum)
which can derange the stomach should not be
tolerated in baking powder."
Prof. W. G. Tucker, New York State
Chemist: "I believe it (alum) to be decidedly
injurious when used as a constituent of food
articles."
Prof. S. W. Johnson, Yale College: "I
regard their (alum and soluble alumina salts)
introduction into baking powders as most dan-ge;
rrous to health."
In view of such testimony as this,
every care must be exercised by
the housewife to exclude the over
and over condemned cheap, alum
baking powders from the food.
