And Later In Lie Used the same Old Cen-
trifugsl Force.
Colonel Thomas Nelson of Indiana
was accustomed in his story telling
moods to recall his first meeting with
Abraham, Lincoln. twas on stage
coach bound for indianapolis shortly be-
fore the war.
Colonel Nelson took his tall fellow
passenger for country merchant, and
beguiled the journey by telling him
good many things such as q rural va1i-
ETY. storekeeper might be supposed to
know nothing about.
Rewarded by what he understood to
be looks Of admiration, the colonel
wound up his talk with long disserta-
tion on the subject of centrifugal force,
defining and explaining it in manner
suited to his listener presumed capaci-
ties.
At indianapolis the two men put up
at the same hotel, and the colonel, after
careful toilet, went down to the Office,
to find the tall stranger surrounded by a
group of gentlemen who seemed to be
hanging upon his words.
"Who is he?" asked the colonel of
the clerk, and that functionary pointed
to the register, ON which was the name,
"a. Lincoln.
Colonel Nelson was taken quite aback,
and took himself away as quietly as
possible. A few years passed, Lincoln
was president, and Colonel Nelson be-
came a candidate for some diplomatic
position. Finally Governor Morton
telegraphed him to come to Washing
ton and meet the president.
II hoped he would not remember me
as his fellow passenger" Colonel Mel
son used to say. But the hope was vain.
Lincoln gave him u hearty handshake,
notified him Of his appointment as min
lister to Chile, and wound up by saying
to him:

ST. Louis, Feb 23.-AIl efforts at har-
monizing the conflicting elements OF the
Missouri Democracy have been abandoned

silver and the sound money wings has be-
gun in earnest.
circular signed by the leading Demo-
Gratis throughout the State was sent out

OPPOSE FREE ALCOHOL.
Retail Druggists VIII Appear Before
the House Committee

Mfr. G. p. EngeIhard of Chicago is here
representing committees of the American
Pharmaceutical Association, the Chicago
Retail Druggists Association and twenty
State pharmaceutical associations, in ad-
vocacy of the Mcmillan bin, repeating
clause 81 of the new tariff law providing
for rebates OF the tax on alcohol used in
the arts and in medicinal or other ike
compounds
The large manufacturers have been heard
from repeatedly, but the protest of the
retail druggists is now heard for the first
time. Mr.. Engelhard will be given hear
ing before the subcommittee on Ways and
Means today. The main objections of the
retail druggists are that the cost of Sc
curing the rebates would he more in the
case of the small manufacturers than the
amount of the tax, and that. therefore,
the effect of the clause would be TO crush
out the retailers laboratory and transfer
the entire business of medicinal manufac-
lures to the big factories.
Free alcohol for medicinal and other like
compounds would also, the retail drug
gists assert, make many alcoholic bever-
ages thinly Disguised as medicines a
fayorite product of liquor selling druggists
tothe great injury ofreputabie pharmacists
by enbroiing them in untold additional
difficulties under the State liquor laws.
