business has fallen off so greatly

things about the road. Another
is that internal gate system that
is so obnoxious to the travelling
public.

King Hop Ale and Queen Malt
Tonic are liable TO be dethroned.
Tuesday officers Of the law arrested
Joseph Morris, keeper Of the Blue
Front for selling unlabeled goods.
he was placed under $500 bond
and his trial comes up today.
Morris claims that his arrest was
instigated by other saloon keepers
who handle different make OF
goods and is purely a work of spite.
The concensus Of opinion is that
if one joint is closed all should be.
If malt ale is to go SD also should
hop tea and malt extract; if the
Kansas City brand is TO be elimin-
ated, the Dallas and st. Louis
brands should be shut out to.
When the joints go, let them go
altogether.

called at the express Office and
opened some barrels containing
bottles that they thought were
filled with beer; they also opened
several boxes supposed to contain
intoxicants. The officials have
samples Of the contents that they
will no doubt have analyzed. It

A good one was played on C. w.
Poole and w. II. Cloud last week.
A man by the name OF j. w.
Welch representing himself agent
Of the X. G. Hay Press Co. came
to Mr.. Cloud and appointed him
agent for the company furnishing
him with blanks. On leaving be
found himself out of money and
requested Mr.. Cloud to 60 with
him to the bank where he could
cash a sight draft, but it being
closed he was furnished the money
by Mr.. Poole. In due time the
draft came back unhonored and
information given that the man
was an impostor and not in the
employ Of the company. Mr..
Poole at once began to trace the
man up and he was located at
Girard, Kan, where he was placed
under arrest, and on Tuesday Mr..
Poole went to Viniia to secure a
warrant for him. He is probably
good for the pen.
