gun this morning the trial of the suit for

after the accident, the defendant COM
pany's superintendent discharged him,
and tnat In addition TO being physical

to such sore distress and poverty that, IN
order to support mis- wife and three child
rem, ne has been obliged to get assistance
from the oversser of the poor of this city,
where he now resides.

Of Whisky Trust.
Judge ShOwalter Says Meth
DDS are Not Illegal.
Decision Will Have Important Bear
ing on Other Trusts.

in the Federal Court today, rendered an
important decision in the rebate case
the whiskey trust. Tne jurist deoidesJ
that the compact involved in the rebate
vouchers Is legal; that the understanding
does not preclude the buyer from pur-

stipuIate that il the buyer takes goods
from the American Spirits Company and
wishes to take advantage of rebates, he
must not deal elsewhere. This decision
Is of the highest importance, since 1t

The citizens generally are much dis
gusted with the cruel manners of an
elderly man whom they charge
with cruelty to the boy preacher,
Asbury Forbes of Baltimore, who m
they say is carried around in i'll health,
against his ability and compelled to
preach; and that the same in their belief
is done in support of the old man, in
stead ofthe boy. That on Sabbath last,
too hot for any one, this boy was COM

ten years, with present membership

We can say of this part of the city as
being one Of the best business portions
for our race. Here we have doctors,
lawyers, druggists and grocers.
Among our most successful doctors
are DR.. P. B. Brooks, whose practice
is larger than any one in the South
west: He is man worthy of his profess
sion have won for himself name that
will not die. DR.. Childs comes among
us as Christian gentleman, since here
he has made many friends and won
many laurels in his profession. Drs.
Collins and Mischeaux have done
much good in administering to the sick
as well as seeking the welfare and
betterment of our people. DIR. VIM.
L, Tignor, last but not least is the
coming young man of the Southwest.
He has friends to let.
For our druggiSts-the old and re-
liable stand of DIR. Geo. w. Murray is
yet holding its own. But the beautiful
druggist at 3rd and F is among the
leading stores of the city. We can say
of DR.. Harris as being one of our sue
ceSsful druggists. None has made the
rapid progress in business as he in
such time. You will always find what
you want, and the purest and best at
the lowest price. He is kind and
courteous. The many friends and
strangers are always welcome.
Our last but not least is Mr.. Plum
mer, who is making up for old and
new His place of business is quite
neat and charming. He will make it
pleasant at any time.
We shall say more of our men in the
grocery and confectionery line next
time. We have come and we are here
to stay. With more of your help we
will demonstrate the fact.
