The a Taste.

"Even the best judges of tobacco
can't always be depended on" remark
ed a dealer to a reporter recently.
Sometimes their taste goes back on
them. so to speak. and remains blunt
ed for a week at a stretch. One Of my
customers. for Instance. is a well to do
merchant. who is very particular about
his cigars and one of the few real con-
noisseurs in town. When he Is In
good form, he can tell more about to-
bacco on a superficial examination
than anybody l know. with the single
exception Of a dealer who has a big
reputation az an expert. About a
month ago this gentleman began TO
complain about a favorite brand Of
very high class cigars. | knew the
goods were all right and advised him
to buy something else for awhile. He
hnally began smoking a pipe and used
a cheap cu plug that he declared was
the best smoke he ever tried. One
day. all Of a sudden. his taste return
ed. and he went back to the cigars.
At present the bare smell Of cut plug
will make him sick. Strange. isn't it?
They tell me that the professional sam
piers of tobacco take a week of every
few months and never look at the
weed until they return to duty. In
that way they keep in condition.

VICTORY
The AnG-SaIoon Men Jar DR.. Mclean,
Of Cadiz.
SOLD LIQUOR WITHOUT Paying TAX.
Secret Service Spies Work Up an
important Case.-.Judae's
Ruling.

Judge Mansfield, of CadiZ, has re-
Gently given a very important decision
concerning druggists who sell intoxi-
acting liquors on their own prescrip-
tions and by other evasions," said an
Anti-Saloon league man Wednesday.
1T is the most important decision we
have in Ohio on sa.es of liquor in drug
stores, and druggists will do well to
read 1t carefully and follow 1t in MAX
ing sales.
"The case was that Of DR.. Mclean,
He was placed on the Dow tax list for
traf1lcking in intoxicating liquors in
Cadiz from May "a, 1899. He is a licens-
ed physician, and he enjoined the
treasurer from collecting the tax, claim
ing that he was. selling according to
law. The druggist is highly esteemed
in Cadiz, and to win against him was
great victory for the Anti-Saioon
league. The leagues secret service en-
ployes secured the evidence which
brought about the conviction.
"a number Of witnesses In the case
testified that they would go to the
drug store, and by simply stating that
they had cold or other slight disorder
obtained whisky. Judge Mansfield said:
When we consider the habits of the
witnesses touching the use of intoxi-
cants as testified by them, the frequency
of the sales, the fiimsy and fugitive ma
ture of their several maladies, including
bad colds sore throats, pain in the
breast, nervous prostration, antidote
for opium habit, and numerous other
diseases, the suggestion of the buyer
that he, thought whisky would do him
good, and the prompt agreement of the
plaintiff with the buyer after a cursory
examination, entire lack Of directions as
to use, the fact that when other reme-
dies were prescribed they were usually
sold without mixing with the whisky;
the fact that no prescriptions were pre-
sented, and the further fact that several
of these witnesses testified they were
not patients of the plaintiff, we might
well conclude in the language of a case
already cited that this is more like sell
ing whisky than practicing medicine.
The fact that the party needed
whisky as a medicine, or that it was
the proper remedy, or that it was sold
as and for medicine is not sufficient.
The burden is on the plaintiff to go
further and show that he honestly be-
lieved that the party was not only get
ting 1t for medical purposes, but that
he would actually use it as O medicine
and not as a beverage.
"'Every druggist who sells intoxicat-
ing liquors for mechanical or pharma-
ceutical purposes upon the mere state
ment of the buyer that he wants 1t for
such purposes takes the risk of con-
victing court or jury that he acted
In good faith. and that he honestly be-
lieved 1t would be used for such purpose
and IL the person to whom he sells II
is known to him to be person who uses
such liquors to excess as a beverage,
then the risk of convincing a court OF
jury Of the good faith Of the transaction
Is proportionately increased, and his
case Is lost when the act Is done.'"

WANTED TO MOB eRAvArr.
Angry Creditors Attempt to Get Much
Desired Satisfaction.

Robert and Fred Gravatt, the con-
tractors, who were implicated in three
lawsuits that were decided against
them, have left the city and behind
them remain a dozen or more dissat-
isfied creditors who would be willing
to square matters, IL they were permit
ted to meet the brothers, says the East
Liverpool Crisis.
Robert Gravatt, who is alleged to have
left the city with s465 cash and failed
to pay the men who worked for him,
was a witness at the cases tried before
Justice McCarron. He kept concealed
until he was called upon to testify, and
as soon as the court was through with
him made a iasty departure from the
city.
The report that he was to be in town
as witness was circulated among the
men he Is said to have victimized and
several of them quietly made their
way to the Justices office and held
themselves in readiness to. seize Gra-
watt when he came out. However he
suspected something Of the kind and
got away safely. 's'-
Angered at being outwitted, the mer
began a search about town for the
elusive contractor, but were unable tc
locate him. 1t was later learned that
he had boarded q street car for Wells
vile and his home at gainesville.
Fred Gravatt fearing that he would
fall a victim to the angry creditors
threats, followed his brothers example

THE HOOKING VALLEY
Officials Experimenting With a New Low
Cost Motor.

Columbus, o., Jan. 17.-From reports
received along the line it looks as If the
Hooking Valley road is going into the
motor business more extensively than
was at first expected.
When seen in regard to the reports
officials of the road requested that some
one else be seen. 1t Is said the Toledo,
Fostoria &c Flndlay Electric Railway
company will have it's line running be-
tween Fostoria and Findlay by April
/. but peculiar situation has unfolded
Itself to the officials of the electric rail-
way company in regard to the continu-
ance of the line from Fostoria to Toledo.
The right of way has almost all been
secured from Fostoria to Toledo along
the Hooking Valley railway, parallel
ing it right into the city. 1t develops
that the Hooking Valley people have
been experimenting in Columbus at the
shops of w. C. Wells e. Co. with a low
cost motor, the power Of which is manu-
factured from crude oil. The object
is to substitute this motor in the place
of the Hooking Valley engines in car
rying the suburban traffic from Fosto-
ria to Toledo, and it Is claimed that a
fortv- mile speed Is guaranteed to the
builders.
The new motor will be given a practi-
cal test on the road within three weeks,
the object being to give Fostoria hourly
communication with Toledo, thus de-
stroying the electric railway competi-
ton. The electric people will do Moth
ing toward the Toledo extension until
the success or failure of the Wells motor
is assured.

NO mercy, FOR CRIMINALS.
New Philadelphia Editor Says
They Should Pay Penalty.
Only Faise Sentiment Suggests Carrying
Flowers and pardons to Con-
viCted Murdcrers.

The Ferrell case has been taken be-
fore the board of pardons and an appli.
cation has been argued looking to i'm
prisonment instead of death to the man
who deliberately murdered friend,
says the Ohio Democrat and Times.
There isn't doubt that he wllfully
murdered Lane to get money which he
knew to be in the express companys
safe and which was In charge of Lane
There isn't a doubt in the mind of the
average man, who Is not conscientiously
opposed to capital punishment. that
Ferrell should pay the penalty of muT-
der by giving up his own life.
This twaddling policy, this disgusting
sympathy to a murderer because he
is nice looking fellow, because he has q
sweetheart whose affections had better
have been bestowed on another, should
be stamped out. The false sentiment
that is growing year by year which
suggests carrying flowers to these
criminals should give away to a whole
some desire to see the law breaker pun
ished.
In this connection 1t may be well for
juries in some cases, where there may
be a doubt as to the intent of crime, to
recommend mercy, but nothing should
be done by law that will prevent the
ends of justice. For instance the rob
Der at Shanesville who fired a bullet at
Miss Noll when she put her head out
the window shot for the purpose of
killing. There is no other explanation.
He should suffer for that crime as well
as for the crime of burglary. He did
not care for her life. or for the pangs
of sorrow that would come TO her fam
lily in case of her death. He had no
sentiment" in his heart when he fired
the shot that came so uncomfortably
near, and therefore he Is entitled to no
sympathy at the hands of the public.
