that licenses should only be issued to
druggists who were actually conducting
pharmacy. 1t appears in Tallman's
case, that the State Board has construed
the meaning OF the Act to be that one
must own drug store-must conduct
his own place. Tallman is simply manag-
ing the drug store he is connected with,
and does not own it. hence the refusal of
the State Board to give him a pharma-
cists' license.
Tallman claims that this ruling is not
in accordance with the new law. In his
suit he declares that inasmuch as the law
reads that persons actually Conducting"
pharmacy are eligible to receive
licenses, he is entitled TO one.

THE GRAND JURY.

Newspaper Reporters Asked Where
They Obtain Information.
The Grand Jury met yesterday morn
ing. Some of the members entered a
protest against the publication in the
RECoRD-UNIoN and Bee of the fact that
f. 0. Miller was to be indicted before
the indictment against that individual
had been filed in court. 1t was stated
that possibly some member of the Grand
jury had given out the information, and
1t was agreed to investigate the matter.
Representatives Of each OF the newspa-
pers mentioned were subpenaed and ex-
amined. Their testimony showed, how
ever, that the information nor the facts of
any other cases had not been gotten from
any Of the Grand Jurors-that the details
were obtained by keeping a close watch
on witnesses, putting this and that to-
gether," and keeping awake generally.
This satisfied the jurors, and the report
erS were excused.
In the afternoon the Grand Jury, to all
appearances, resumed its investigation Of
the waste basket scandal of the last
Legislature. Assemblyman II. C. Dibble
was noted III the corridors and was APP
parently waiting to be called upon for
what he knew of the mystery.

ways. About forty men will be employed in
this work to start with, and that number will
probably soon be increased as there are about
5000 property owners along the lines. The ag-
gregate assessed valuation Of the property

owned by the city, il, in round figures, $685.

the property bounding on the whole of
the proposed lines, including the annexed
district, amounts to hundreds of millions
OF dollars. The magnitude of the work of can
wasting where such enormous interests are in
volved is apparent, but there is every appear
ance Of determination to accomplish the task
with all possible speed. There rs one detail in
the proposed plan of construction of the road
which il likely to secure the approval of the

was brief allowance Of time for rest and re-

ness engagement.
Precisely at pm. Mai. Pollard issued the
command commence firing" and a respons-
i've bang" testified to the opening of the bat
talon match. This was similar to the bat
TALON match OF last year. Teams Of five men
from each battalion were entered to compete
for Gen. Ordway's annual prize-this year a
silver plated ice water pitcher and accompani-
ments Last year the prize was a handsome
clock and 1t was won by the fifth battalion.
This year the same old fifth again walked away
| with the honors. to say nothing Of the beauti.
full pitcher. There are not wanting those who
| insinuate that the fifth will not know what to
do with its trophy, but remarks Of that descrip-
ton are basely slanderous, The match was an
interesting one, but il was far short of what it
ought to have been. Two teams were missing.
Lieut.. Harries, inspector Of rifle practice for
the second battalion, had made all necessary
| arrangements for having ten of his best men
| on the ground-fve regulars and an equal
number Of alternates-but when time was
called there we're but three faithful ones pres
| ent, the others, through inability or careless
ness, persistently remaining away. Four
members Of the team from the first separate
| battalion (colored) were on the range; the
| fifth man and the team captain were as COM
pletely out Of sight as though they had been in
Labrador. So instead OF there being seven
| competing teams there were Just five.
FIGURES THAT LIE NOT.
Each man Of the i've teams fred, with more
or less success seven shots at the targets, which
| were just 200 yards away. The light was ad-
mirable, but there was a gusty wind down the

considerably.

The Safe WAY.

Many reliable chemists and sanitarians have
expressed the opinion that the continued use of a
baking powder containing ammonia Injuries the health
neutrazing the gastric juice causing dyspepsia. and
eventually producing an unhealthy and blotched
complexion.
This may not be the result in all cases; but why
take the chances of it, when by using

you get powder entirely free from ammonia and
that will do more and better work.
