A DRUGGISTS COMBINE
They Have Banded Together For Pro.
 lection from Jobbers.

lCCLIOh L1OllA cOp0SA@s
 John E. Ebbs of this city has been appointed a member of the board or directors of the United States Drug company, incorporated, which was or ganlzed a short time ago. About two or three hundred drug companies, lo- cated throughout the eastern states, belong to this company, which was or ganiZed for the purpose of saving 1n- diyidual drug companies from 1n- creased eXactions upon the part of job- bers. About twelve drug stores in this city belong to the company, at every meeting of which many applica- tions are received.
 Much secrecy has been maintained in regard to the organization of the above company. A Democrat reporter interviewed a local member of the company this morning. He spoke as follows Tt is true that such com pany has been organized and that about F local stores belong to it. I would not care to divulge the names of the local stores in the company, for the reason that they don't want the jobbers to find it out. The jobbers, who have visited this city lately, have tried to find out the names of the local parties in the company, but from all accounts they have been unsuccessful If they did, the chances are that they would report the names of the persons l to the wholesale drug houses, and the result would probably be that the 1 the wholesalers would refuse to sell
 to them. Tn these times of trusts and combinations, the only thing for the re
 tailers to do is to unite into such . company as the United States Drus co pany incorporated. Such a com pany is of a vast benefit to retailers Say, for Instance, that some patent medicine costs two dollars a dozen
 A retail dealer may only want two ol l three bottles. For these they would l probably pay at the rate of three l dollars a dozen. The owner sends notice to the president of the abov'
 company, who finds out if other drus
 stores want the same medicine, ther l purchases a quantity at the wholesal' price. and then sends 1t in all lots tt
 individual members Of the company Much money is saved to the member by this plan. On the other hand i takes away considerable trade iron the iobbers and consequently thei feelings towards the members of tn
 company, if they should happen t find out who they are, are not at al pleasant. Sometimes they write t their employers and give the name
 of the persons in the company and tn
 latter can't buy from that wholesal
 house anymore. Hence the secrecy.

Received a Pounding He Will Not
 Soon Forget.
 SEATTLE, Wash, July 29.-W1llam Nixon tried to impress woman here by impersonating the outlaw Tracy and is nearly dead as result.
 He told an actress in music hall that he was the escaped convict and threatened her life if she told. Later, when he re-entered the theater, he was attacked by policeman and the pro prietor, Joe Williams, brother of Deputy Sheriff Jack Williams, who was wounded in the fight with Tracy at Bethel July 3. He was pounded in to insensibility and has not fully re- covered his faculties yet. The mistake was discovered when the mans fea- lures were compared with photo graph at police headquarters.
 It is almost a miracle that the po- Iiceman did not shoot first and investi- gate afterward, as he was told posi- lively that the man was Tracy, and reward of nearly $7000 is offered for the desperado, dead or alive.
