BROMO-QUININE TRADE MARK PRO-
TECTED BY THE COURTS.

The Paris Medicine Company, which
manufactures and sells the laxative
bromo-quinine tablets, has been seriously
damaged by the placing on the market Of
cOunterfeits Of It's goods and by the at
tendant infringement on its trade mark.
The Davis Medicine Company, an Indiana
concern operated by a doctor of that
name, has been the principal factor in
this work. The Paris company stamps
its tablets L. B. @. and the other outfit
put D. B. @. on theirs, selling them in
the same form and in the same kind of
packages in which the original is sold.
To protect themselves, the Paris people
sought redress in the Federal Circuit
court, which has just decided that their
trade mark Is valid one and the Davis
concern was perpetually enjoined from
continuing TO use the mark or any label
or device which might lead to the belief
on the part of purchasers that they were
buying goods made by the Paris COM
pany.

The Wellington Voice has the follow
ing to say of Bob Semple and the ru-
mors of his candidacy for the Populist
nomination for Governor: The an
nouncement is made that Hon. r. H.
Semple, will enter the race for the Pop
ulist gubematorial nomination. Bob
Semple is one of the shrewdest and best
posted men in the Peoples party. He
has a broad, executive mind and the
courage of Cromwell. To him is due
the minute and graphic expose Of the
nest Of corruption under the Morrill,
business" administration. Semple's
piercing perspicuity penetrated the re-
mOtest depths Of this disgraceful robbery
and laid it bare to the public gaze in such
incontrOvertible demonstration that not
a single Republican paper-all adopts at
dodging-has attempted to explain the
nefarious jobs away. If chosen as the
standard bearer he would make a great
campaign and would give the people an
administration that would mark an epoch
in the history of the State. He is the
Hibbard OF the party to-day, with the ad-
ditional ability to talk on the stump as
well as write. Corporations would fight
Bob Semple as they would a PingTee.
We need man like Semple at the helm.
