are, nevertheless, available for festas

an error. The bandsmen. in common

undoubtedly gifted with a quick car

There was an increase of 20 cents

er. the value of each sheep in daho
has increased by s1.53. with over a
million sheep in Idaho in 1896, their
total value was but $4,000 more than
the half million sheep were worth
there In 1892. With not quite three
times as many sheep at the beginning
of this year as there were in 1895, this
farm stock has increased nearly six
times in value. Western farmers
should study these facts and decide,
before November, II they want any

of their focks. Idaho is simply an

CARTER MEDICINE co. WINS


Obtains Injunction In Case inyolying
stimulation of Labels.
Brent Good. president of the Carter Med
icine Company. yesterday received a tele-
gram from his lawyers in Chicago, Messrs.
Lowden, Estabrook & Davis, informing him
that a final injunction, with costs, had been
granted against the Chicago Label and Box
Company. This company makes a speciality
of manufacturing labels, boxes, etc, for
druggists. The Carter Company has been
following them through the courts for two
years on the complaint that the label COM
pany was making simulations of the labels
of Carter's Little Liver Pills. They have
now obtained a final injunction with costs,
and the costs are very large, as the case has
been submitted to a Master in Chancery for
a final accounting.
The Carter Medicine Company has been
the first and only one to prosecute printers
or engravers who have prepared such labels
and wrappers. 1t marks a new departure
in infringement cases, and their victory is
one of great importance to the whole pro
prietary trade and also of interest to retail
druggists.-NEw YoRK Press, MAY 2, 1900.
