The Experience of Blue Earth

Such was the comment made this

he had read a statement in Blue Earth
county newspaper, according to which q

medicines at 20 per cent discount was re-

gram from jobber: .,a EEss5:
.."Order received. We and all iobbers
have agreed not to sell contract goods
to acknowledged CUTTERS Sorry, but we
cannot breay our word. Shall we ship
the rest?" ..
The merchant believes that he is the
victim Of a drug trust. because he has
declined to join other retailers in an
agreement not to sell goods below speci-
fed prices. .." H.. L. -,
"There's no more drug trust than
there is newspaper trust" said Mr..
Eliel this morning. mo restrictions
whatever are placed on the sale of staple
drugs or upon the sale of many other
articles. But the majority of patent
medicine makers insist on selling their
goods. on contract only. That's all the
trust talk amounts to. =-F5a H..
"Of course the retail druggists have an
association. It's not designed to fix prices
but to maintain them, and it's a very nee

that wants to live against these price

I'm my opinion that Blue Earth man is

consideration from legitimate dealers than
President Castro does from legitimate
rulers. This Blue Earth fellow thinks
he's very clever to take advantage of his
fellow merchants. - < ~ s.
mo, the fact that there are compare
lively few drug jobbers doesn't indicate
that trust exists. Wholesale drug
houses are few, because they can be- con

BLOW TO AMES CASE
Capt. Fitchette's Death Removes an
Important Witness Against
the Indicted Mayor.
Without Him, Conviction Under
the Sodini Indictment Will
s., Be Doubtful.

With the death Of John Fitchette the
strongest link in the chain of evidence
needed to convict the fugitive DR.. Ames
on the last Indictment is missing forever.
But for the evidence locked up in the
person Of Fitchette before his recent dis
closures to the grand jury it is quite
probable that DR.. Ames would never have
felt the necessity of fight to escape the
clutches Of the law. r, -.
Evidence there was, and plenty of it,
going to show that DR.. Ames fostered and
Wlnked at the system of graft" which
became the most distinctive feature of his
administration. But until Fitchette told
what he knew about the inner workings
OF this system, no grand jury had been
able to connect DR.. Ames directly with
any large bribery. The recent movement
to arrest Ames was based on revelations
of Captain Fitchette ~.s ST.. ....-r =. -..&z
The information the late captain of
police gave the grand jury had to do with
the payment of 81, 900 in one particular in
stance and unquestioned corroborative
evidence was at hand to show Just how,
when. where and by whom it was de-
llvered over for protection: With
Fitchette as the states star witness, a
conviction seemed certain; without him
this particular case is materially weak
ened. Other testimony bearing on this
particular deal fitted nicely in the chain
OF circumstances necessary to establish
the guilt of the defendant, but Fitchette's
evidence was the backbone of the case.
. That Dr. Ames realized this full we'll
is. indicated by his departure for parts
unknown as soonSas he got wind of Cap
tain Fitchette's admissions and of the
movement to bring him back
1t is beginning to appear doubtful if DR..
Ames took the same direction as his wife
on his flight from Louisville. There is no
question that she went to some New Eng
land point, but it is not established that
the mayor accompanied her. Sheriff Ore
ger said this afternoon that he had re-
ceived no information from the police of
Boston, Keene or Hancock, who have been
trailing five pieces Of baggage so assfdu-
ously Neither has he received any clue
as to the present abiding place of DR.. AL

A. D. I. co. EXPANDS
It Secures the Whole of the Wether-
by Building, Fourth and
Nicollet.
The Structure Will Be Extensively
Remodeled and Made Attrac-
tive in Various Ways.

Owing to Increase in it's business, the
A. d. II. company has taken a ten-year
lease on the entire John Wetherby build
ing, at Fourth street and Nicollet, of
Which the company is already tenant.
This transaction means a building at
this corner which will be credit to the
avenue. Mr.. Wetherby has agreed to
spend some $4,000 in remodeling the block
by lowering the present Darkroom floor
to the street level and making two stores
out of the space. leaving the building with
five Stories attic and a basement KEGS
& Colburn have drawn the design.
The two stories will have plate glass
and iron fronts on both Ncollet avenue
and Fourth street. The stairway will be
taken from Nicollet avenue to the farther
end of the Fourth street side, making the
entrance through the office now occupied
by General Manager A. r. Williams of
the A. D. T. company. In the basement
a barber shop room will be fitted out.
The A. D. 7. company has been forced
to make some move because it's business
has outgrown the half basement where it
is now established At the present time
fifteen night calls minute are received
over it's night watch and burglar service
lines. The company by the way, has the
distinction of maintaining the largest
night service in the United States, and
this requires the attendance of several en-
ployes constantly. The A. D. T. company
will have a receiving office on the ground
floor, its batteries in the attic and it's oper-
ating rooms on the fifth floor.s The re-
naming space will be sublet. Several ap-
plications have already been made for the
ground floor space. A. D. Clarke, presi-
dent of the A. D. Clarke National bank has
been looking for another building for some
time, the business already requiring more
space. =. .~ . E. d. rs-' ..
The structural iron for the new front has
been ordered and as soon as possession of
the building can De gained Mr.. Wetherby
will begin the alterations which will con-
sumo ninety days time. The work will
probably begin April 1 at the latest. Any
other changes that moy be planned will be
made by the A. D. r. company. =
