AN ORIGINAL PACKAGE.
Constable Bahr Says That Bottles
Must Have Stamps on Them.

Columbus, s. c., June 1.-THE ques-
ton of what constitutes an original
package has been disturbing all South
Carolina since Judge Simonton's decis-
ion.
It was settled today so far as the
state authorities are concerned until, at
least the courts pass upon it.
Chief Constable Bahr, of Charleston,
held a conference with officials here to-
day, after which he said that unless
otherwise instructed he would seize all
liquors when a person attempted to
open box and sell from it one or more
bottles, provided those bottles did not
have upon them separate government
stamps.
In that case they will not be modest
ed.
According to the understanding now
prevailing any number of bottles may
be sold individually so long as they
have separate stamps upon them
Chief Bahr states that already he has
seized and dumped a considerable
amount of beer in Charleston, the par
ties attempting to sell it by the drink
from kegs.

PREACHER WAS SCORCHING
Rev. Thomas Osten, a Methodist Di-
vine, Runs Down a Boy and the
Police Take Him In.

Milwaukee, June 1.-THE Rev Thos.
Osten, pastor of the North Greenfield
Methodist church, is a scorcher. At
least the officials of the South Side po-
lice station claim they We're forced to
arrest him because, riding at a rapid
rate on the wrong side of the street, he
ran into a boy awheel.
The Rev. E. Kanneen was with Mr..
Osten at the time He came to his
brothers rescue by bailing him out aft
er he was in durance for a short time
Then the ministers and their friends
scurried around, and through the inter
cession of the chief of police and a
promise to repair the damage done to
the boys wheel the Rev. Mr.. Osten was
given warning and not compelled to
appear in court.

out making a proper Investigation But
instead of being satisfied, the day af-
ter the trial the deputy county attor-
ney issued a second warrant in the
same case. Mary Davis, the defendant
in the first case, wanted Geo. White,
an associate of the Stephens woman,
arrested for disturbing the peace"
Deputy County Attorney Guy issued
the warrant, which was given to JUS
tice Chesney to be served. White was
arrested, the witnesses were subpoe-
naed and the case was again tried with
the same result.
The prisoner was acquitted and again
the county is left with the costs to pay.
Justice Chesney says that he has not
yet made up his cost bill in the case,
but it will not be less than $25. and it
may be more
Thus the taxpayers of Shawnee coun-
ty pay $50 to settle a small personal
quarrel between two coIored women.

ENDORSED BY BRYAN.
An Organization Formed for Getting
All the Offices.

Minneapolis, June 1.-THE National
Volunteers of Democracy is the name
of a new organization whose plan is
exceedingly novel The headquarters
is in St. Louis, but local politicians are
receiving circulars from Secretary Hoff-
man, who explains that certificates of
honor are to be granted to all loyal
workers. The perquisite for obtaining
a certificate is six months service until
1901, when Bryan is inaugurated pres
ident." A coupon is to be issued and
pasted onto the original certificate. Up
on this latter is a picture of Mr.. Bryan,
presenting to a headless body a certifi-
cate of honor. The recipient is sup
posed to have his own photograph
pasted on where the head should be-
Mr.. Hoffman declares that in 1901
one of these certificates will be of
more value in securing an Office than
the Endorsement of ten senators and a
hundred representatives He quotes a
letter from Mr.. Bryan giving a quasi
Endorsement to the idea.

Colored Beldames Run Up Bills of

attorneys, over vigilant constables,
deputy county attorneys with both eyes
wide open for funds, contribute to
make this ''vermifOrm appendix of the
judicial system a veritable cost mill.
Disreputable people air their quarrels
in the court and the county pays the
bills. There ought to be a censor to
pass upon every suit for assault and
battery and disturbing the peace, and
the number of cases on the justice court
dockets would be very much reduced in
number.
On May 10 Lucy Stephens, a colored
woman, went before a deputy county
attorney and secured a warrant for the
arrest of Mary Davis, another cOlored
woman, for disturbing the peace"
Deputy County Attorney Guy drew
the complaint and a short time after
ward the woman was arrested. She was
jury, and it developed that the women
had a quarrel during which both call
ed each other vile names.
The jury accordingly returned a YER
dict acquitting Mary Davis of the
charge of disturbing the peace. Fail
ing to convict, the deputy county attOr-
ney failed to secure his $3.50 fee, but
there were some other fees which the
county is compelled to pay. They are
as follows:

commitment, warrant and other docu-
ments in connection with the arrest and
trial S7.75-

TRIBUNE'S JUBILEE.
5Oth Anniversary of the Chicago Pa
per's Establishment


Chicago, June 1.-THE Tribune cele-
brated the 50th anniversary of it's birth
DAY yesterday by issuing an illustrated
edition in color.
The paper contains historical mat
ter OF value, for it has been prepared
under the personal supervision of the
veteran editor, Joseph MediH.
me Tribune was established June 10,
1884, by j. K. G. Forrest, James J.
Kelly and John E. Wheeler Mr.. For
rest gave the name to the paper and
lived to see it reach its 49th year. He
got out of the Tribune later, but he
never got out of journalism until he
died. He used to say that the creation
OF the Republican party was as much
due to the establishment of the Tribune
as any other cause.
The modest venture was made in a
building at La Sale and Lake streets
and the 400 copies were found to be
ample circulation. These were worked
off on a Washington hand press Mr.
Forrest pulling the lever and Mr.. KEEL
Iy FOLDING, While John E. Wheeler wrote
on the margin the names of such citi-
zens as he hoped might become sub
scribers. Mr.. Medill came west from
Cleveland and took an interest, ulti-
mately acquiring the whole property.
The anniversary edition contains ac-
counts of some stirring scenes in Chi
Cages history, pictures of early set
tiers and of the principal buildings of
the city. At the time the Tribune was
started the city was ten years old and
unincorporated.
The property valuation of the city
was $5849, 40. The bonded debt was
$13,179.S9, and the taxes collected then
amounted to $1S159.O1. The population
was 1883. When the paper began life
Chicago had no railroads, nor had a
telegram ever been received here.
The edition is called the Golden Ju-
bilee Edition. The color work, it is
believed, has never been surpassed in
a newspaper. The illustrations include
war scenes. views of the great fire and
the principal statuary of the city,
bridges, street scenes. etc. One page
contains a beautiful figure in red, yell
low and blue of woman, typical of the
city.
James Whitcomb Riley contributes
the following poem:
Hail to your fifty years and stress.
Your hopeful, helpful life's half cen
fury;
Your midmost prime and pride of use
fulness,
Your -troth to man-your golden ju-
bilee.

practice of law until the commence
ment of the next congressional cam
paign. I intend to make a vigorous
fight for the nomination and put forth
every effort to carry the district for
the Republicans in So"
When asked how he liked the tariff
bill, he replied:
THE bill is not satisfactory to me,
nor to the Republicans generally, but
with all of its Objectionable features it
is superior in every respect to the mis-
calculated, cOnglomerated Wilson Cor
man law now on our statute books.
believe the tariff question will be the
issue of 1898 and the Republicans will
carry the-State of Kansas"
Mr.. and Mrs. kirkpatrick will be

hOspitable home has been the scene of
many pleasant social events.
