DRUGGISTS LIABLE
Supreme court soDecidesin a Polk
County Case.
CARELESsNESS CAUSES LOSS OF EYE
Case of Rosenheim & Son VS.. Flanders
Sisters, From WapeIIo County, Was
Reversed, the Court Finding that
Fraud Had Been Practieed.

Druggists are responsible for the
mistakes of their clerks no matter
how much care has been exerted TO
employ only the mcst skilled, This
was determined by the state supreme
court Yesterday in affirming the Judge
Holmes decision in the case, Orrin
Burgess VS.. Sims Drug company, ct al,
appealed from the district court OF
Polk county.
The plaintiff is a plasterer residing
in Des Moines. A piece of lime lodged
in his eye and he took a prescription
to the defendant company to be filed.
The drug clerk made mistake and as
a result an operation for the removal
of the eye became necessary. The
Jury in Judge Holmes court awarded
$500 damages and the defendant ap-
pealed.
The contention of appellants was
that the case is similar to those in
which it has been held that railways
are not responsible for damages ac-
cruing from the negligence of railway
surgeons on the ground that they had
exercised due care in employing skill.
ed talent; also similar in cases in
which it had been held that banks are
not responsible for mistakes of notar.
les in their employ when It was shown
that. they had employed only skilled
|notariea. The drug company showed
+ that it had exercised due, skill in en-
ploying a graduate pharmacist. and IN
view Of the foregoing decisions felt
damages should not be awarded.

LincoIn's Gettysburg Address.
"Our Soldier Heroes Sleeping was
the title of a very appropriate selec-
ton by the Y. M. G. A. chorus. Major
A. H. Hamilton, the master of cere-
monies, made a short address touch
ing upon the character of Lincoln and
his characteristics of depending al
ways upon the aid of divine power in
all his undertakings. He then read
the address made by the martyred
president upon the field of Gettysburg
about a hundred days after that mem
orable battle, one of the gems of Amer
lean literature.

The Y. M. G. A. chorus followed with

and Major Hamilton introduced Rev.

dist church who delivered the address
of the day. Rev Craig took for his
text the very suggestive passage found
