Very few deer are seen in the market
lately. What seems to be the rea-
SOM" is the question the marketmen
and others are asking. Is it because
there are few Augusta people out hunt
ing now. or has the warm weather dis
couraged the hunters? It is SO very
warm that an animal would spoil in a
very few days in the woods. Cold
weather would revive the hunters.

Further Hearing on Charges Against
Local Druggist.

The third session in the hearing of Roach
Abel. one of the druggists charged with
selling Hoffman's anodyne of a quality not
up to the standard, was resumed shortly
after L o'clock Saturday. Mr. Colbert Of
fered TO prove by volume of the United
States Dispensatory, published in 1915, that
Honman's anodyne and compound spirits
OF ether were not one and the same
thing, as claimed by the prosecution. Judge
kimball declined to allow the book to be
used as evidence, on the ground that the
law stated what edition of the United
States Pharmacopea should be used
Then said Mr.. Lipscomb, Il ask for
ruling OF the court on our motion of yes
terday that the jury be discharged on ac-
count of the misconduct of the prosecuting
attorney in stating that this is the pIainest
case he had ever seem "
conduct?"
Yes" was the response.
Judge kimball said he would not pass
upon the motion without argument where
upon Mr. Lipscomb proceeded to discuss
his motion.
Mr.. Pugh replied briefly, insisting that lie
had not been guilty Of misconduct
After several witnesses had been recalled
and the attorneys had discussed the points
raised, Mr.. Pugh suggested to the court to
discard all the prayers offered by the de-
Tense and give his own Instructions to the
jury.
Judge Kimball replied that he had no
right to reject prayer that was right, but
Mr.. Pugh insisted he had.
Mr.. Pugh addressed the jury later. de-
clartng that the prosecution had made out
its case, and asked that the defendant be
declared guilty.
Upon reassembling this afternoon about
1:3O o'clock the trial was again proceeded
with. All the arguments having been con-
cluded late Saturday afternoon, Judge Kim
ball granted the following prayer of the
plaintiff:
If the jury have a reasonable doubt
arising from the evidence whether the mix
ture sold by the defendant Abel to the
witness Lynch contained at the time all
the ingredients required by the L. S. Phar-
macopea the jury must acquit."
Several other prayers were modified by
Judge Kimbal
Mr. Pugh addressed the jury on the sub
ject of the prayers offered
Mr.. Pugh was still speaking when this
report was closed. 1t is expected however
that the case will be given to the Jury
during the afternoon.

And it sweeps aside every profit

CANNOT REASSESS.
Opinion of Attorney DuvaII Respect
ing Water Main Tax.

In an opinion rendered by the attorney
for the District today it appears that by
the express terms of the reassessment act
of July s. 1898, the Commissioners are with
out authority at the present time to re-
assess a water main tax against certain
frontage of land which escaped an original
assessment and reassassment

assessed for water main August %. 1894
The assessment was quashed in certiorari
whereupon the. water main was reassessed
under the provisions of the act of July s.
1898. Some question arose as to the proper
frontage of the lots, Mr.. Hall claiming
that the frontage was less than that named
in the reassessment. He, however paid
the reasSessment with the understanding
that If there was an overcharge, II would
be refunded TO him.
A report of the surveyor, states the attor-
ney, shows that in point of fact the lots
have frontage of S76.0S, whereas the as
sessment was against only $50. As feet. In
stead, therefore of an overcharge against
Mr.. Hall the Commissioners legal adviser
says the assessment should have covered
$50 feet additional. The question now is
he states, whether tie lot may be reassess-
ed for this deficiency.
The act Of July 8. 1895, provides THAT in
cases where such assessments (water main

An Enterprising Firm.

Washington's shopping district. so long
confined to central portions of the city, is
rapidly growing. Especially is this true
on It'll street, where stores now extend to
point far above X street. The firm main
ly responsible for this expansion is Will
lam Hahn q Co., the well-knOwn shoe
dealers, whose mammoth establishment is
al the corner of eth and X streets Not
quite ten years ago they opened at their
present location. 1t was the first large
store among q number OF small ones in
that section. BY judicious advertising,
backed up with good shoe values, this firm
attracted the shopping public to that por-
ton of 18th street, and subsequently other
large mercantile establishments were OPEN
ed in the neighborhood.
William Hahn Co.'S business has
grown rapidly and consistently. As a re-
suit they were compelled to greatly enlarge
the It'll street store. 1t was just a year ago
that the new building was opened The
structure is one of the handsomest BUSH
ness houses in the city and is perhaps the
largest establishment in the country de-
voted exclusively to the sale of shoes. To-
morrow the firm will celebrate the ami
versary of last years suspicious opening
The continued growth of the firm in popu-
larity as a result of its fair dealings prom
ises to make the occasion a big one.

FOR BANK ROBBERY.
Prominent Young Men of Louisville
Charged with Forgery.

Louisville. KY. June 9.-Developments
in the $1,000 bank telephone robbery have
been exceedingly sensational during the
past twentyfour hours. ending at 10
o'clock last night when John Men Par
ker, son of Cashier W. S. Parker, of the
City National Bank. and Fred Frieden-
heimer. stepson Of John S. Morris, secre-
tary Of the fire department. were brought
to this city and placed in Jail to answer
to the charge OF forgery. Friedenhemer
has confessed and duplicates Parker. but
the latter denies any completely further
than that he received $1,000 from Fried
enheimer and put it in 4 safe.
Both young men have been known prom
inently in the best circles in this city.
Both had been at one time employed in
the banking business and it is said were
discharged for certain Irregularities. 1t
was this which directed suspicion TO them
in the first place.
Fredenheimer was traced to Cincinnati
and when apprehended had a pocket full Of
money. receipts for two expensive rings, a
gold watch and other valuables which it
was known had not previously been in his
possession. He at first denied everything.
In the meantime, Parker. learning that he
was under suspicion, came to Louisville.
and after telling plausible story of his
own movements offered to accompany
detective to Cincinnati to turn up Frieden-
heimer When they arrived the latter hal
been arrested and had made a partial con-
fession, refusing to name his confedera.es
When he learned of Pa-ker's action he
made full confession. stating that Parker
had conceived the scheme and that he
cashed the check, afterward turning over
$4,000 TO Parker. Parker then gave him
$1,000. Envelopes containing $4,000 were
found at the Cincinnati Hotel. Parker.
when asked by the detectives where the
balance Of the money was. said he had
thrown it in the river The whole affir
has caused Z tremendous sensation in the
two cities. Parker has q family living in
Cincinnati Friedenheimer is unmarried.
The men induced the teller of the bank
to cash a worthless check by calling him
up on the telephone. one Of them repre-
sentiDg himself to be the cashier of the
bank which was victimized.

they or theif h4irs can draw the money.
and they can rot draw 1t until the end of

bank by ourjtaa; missionaries who attend

"At the end OF. the year, with the dollar
we first advanced to start the account. they
will have to their credit $3.50 and inter-
est. The Church Army will add to this de-
posit $11.40. and hand the customer his
bank book with credit Of 500, for them
to draw at their pleasure and use as they
please. Besides this, for the first 100 who
wish thus to pledge themselves. there will
be no charge made for the tea. which VIII
be cheerfully donated as an encouragement
for temperance and the perfecting Of the
experiment"
DR.. Shrady. in response to q request from
Colonel Hadley for his opinion upon the tea
reform movement. wrote that 1t commend
ed itself for practical trial from many
points OF view. Dr.. Shrady declared:
1T will doubtless tend to lessen the evils
Of intemperanee By substituting an inno-
cent and harmless stimulating beverage
for the different forms Of alcoholic liquors
now 30 commonly used. -.
Tea. being . transiently diffusible
drink Is. when used In moderation. not
likely to injuriously affect the system or
cripple any Of the vital organs.
Even when taken between meals and
when the stomach is empty. 1t Is the least
harmful Of all stimulating beverages.
The exact contrary Is the case with
spirituous liquors. which always have q
direct and hurtful effect upon the stomach.
especially when the latter is empty.
Every possible bad effect from mol
crate and habitual tea drinking can be OBJ
Waited by making the infusion properly.
''The essential elements are easily obtain
ed by very simple method Of pouring hot
water upon the leaves. Tea should always
be freshly made. and never be warmed
over or stewed for any time over a fire. as
by such means all the really deletrious
properties of the herb are extracted.
Being well convinced that nothing but
good can come from your efforts to popu-
larize the use Of tea. cordially tender you
my best wishes for the success Of your
endeavor.''
The prices at the new tea saloons arc as
follows: Cup clear tea. / cent: cup tea
with cream and sugar, cents; Russian
tea. cents: tea. hot or cold. with choice
OF sandwich. pie. CT cake, cents.
The new saloon will be kept open to the
public from o'clock in the morning until
