NEARLY A HbLF CENTURY
Have the McLains Been Engaged in the
Drug Business.

STARTED MODESTLY IN RITCHIE-
TOWN IN THE FTFTESE THE
SUCCESSFUL CAREER OF THE
BEST KNOWN DRUGGISTS IN
WHEELING SINCE THAT TIME.
PHARMACY CHANGED HANDS
THIS WEEK.
The sale this week of the McLain
pharmacy in the Egerter building to
R. S. Waterman, of Weston, closes a
long and successful career in the drug
business of John G.. and Thomas B.
McLain.
In the early ffties they were COM
positors, and while working in a print
ing Office managed to save a small
amount out of their earnings. Mr..
Robert McLain, now dead, learned the
drug business with the firm of Arm
strong G Rawling. In 1858 he and his
brother, John G.. purchased the phar-
macy conducted in the modest frame
building erected by the late DR.. R. w.
Hazlett, at what is now the corner of
Thirty-sixth and Jacob streets. 1t was
then Richie town, and was very
sparsely settled. 1t was the }only drug
store between Twenty-fourth street
and MoundsVille, and being on the
road from Benwood and Marshall coun-
ty poins, it did thriving business.
AS matter of fact there were few re-
tail drug stores in the city at the time.
The entire list comprised Fritz Yahr-
ling, Logan, List & Co., Brentlinger,
Edmund Booking and Reed & Kraft.
The business was conducted very
successfully under the firm name of
McLain & Bro. In 1862 the pharmacy
was removed one block north on Jacob
street. In 1860 Henry and Robert Nc
Lain purchased the Washington Hall
pharmacy, John G. continuing the bust
ness in Ritchietown. In 1866 John G..
joined the others and the business was
COutluutu Until looV. L. d. 1uSAsiAn
was also partner. and the partnership
continued for thirty years.
In 1880 McLain Bros left the Wash
ington Hall location and thirteen days
later it was destroyed by fire, including
about 81 900 worth of stock which had
not yet been removed. The firm had
previously bought the property at the
southwest corner of Market and
Twelfth, in which they opened the
drug store now conducted by c. R.
Goethe.
About ten years ago, after the death
of Robert and Henry McLain, John G.
sold his interest in the Twelfth street
pharmacy to Thomas B., who continued
it four years longer, and then engaged
in the dental and surgical supply BUSH
ness. When John G. McLain sold out
he opened the Egerter building drug
store, in which his son Lawrence was
interested, and conducted it until a
few days ago.
Mr.. John G. McLain will engage in
the manufacture of proprietary medi-
cines, having purchased the sole right
to make two standard preparations
some ten years ago.
The McLains sterted their first
pharmacy on capital stock of about
$3.50. All their enterprises have pros
pered largely because of their business
ability, perseverance and energy. They
were among the pioneers in the drug
business. starting in the days when the
laws of Virginia did not prevent any
man from filling prescriptions.

the Government against Joe Kirby, well
known Sioux Falls attorney, who was con-

part of article of the amendments to the
constitution of the United States, which pro-
vides that no person shall be tried for the
same offense or to be put in jeopardy Of
life or limb. Judge Garland ordered that the
jury shall decide if Kirby was placed in
jeopardy of life or limb by the former trial.
If not, whether or not he is guilty of the
crime charged against him, Taking Of testi
mony begins tomorrow.
Henry Schiesser, indicted by the federal
grand jury for placing cigars of an inferior
brand in box in which 10-cent cigars had
originally been packed, appeared before
Judge Garland and pleaded guilty to the
charge. He was sentenced to six months
imprisonment in the Dawson county Jail at
Mitchell and fined 800.

The bootblacks have lately taken to using

full and distressing odor. which fills a room
and taints the air for hours after some one
with a shine has walked through it. A
fcw people have been found who do not
mind it, but for the great majority it is
an abominable nuisance. 1t even affects
some persons with nausea and headache.
II am keeping away from the shine par
lCrs now" said a man yesterday, who had
just passed one with a shine and a smell,
for fear tho bootblaeks may put some of
that disgusting stuff on my shoes. II they
had any idea how offensive 1t is | am sure
they would realize that they cannot afford
