bloodcurdllng tales about the dolngs in the dark alleys and by-ways Across the Creek,'' as they call the quarter.
 Gambling HelIs.
 Across the Creek" is where the lowest gambling hells, dance halls, saloons and other dives are situated. This is a fa- vorite haunt of the soldiers from F ort Sam Houston, who come to squander their months pay at the gaming tables. It doesn't take many minutes for the nonchalent croupier to rake in the last dollar of Uncle Sam's guardsman.
 The faces grouped about a stud poker table In the early hours of the morning are eminently picturesque. The soldiers If they are "dueking' taps have long ago lost their little piles, but stand look Ing on with eager interest. The dark skinned Mexicans hang suspended over the board, lost in the game, and reck- less cowboy, just from the ranch with his wad intact, Is holding nls own against the house
 The dives of San Antonio never close. Day and night, Sunday and Monday, are all the same The proprietors of bars in some Texas towns make ludi- I crous show of closing up on Sum day. As mere matter of form they put up the serene or push the doors up a little, but they seem in mortal terror that some thirsty ndivid- ual will think that they really are closed. The doors are left carefully ajar, the lights shine brilliantly within. and there Is a constant stream of "grafters' filing In and ort.
 Like Whisky. Texans regard whisky almost with rev ei encc, ard If a ranchman has to go all day Sunday without dampcning his whis- tie, by Monday morning he is so dry that he Is afraid to spit. Tn the saloons and gambling halls adjoining can still be found a few of the wild and woody char acters about whom the small boy has ltad with bated breath.
 San Antonio is great town for 1muse- ments, both good and bad. There is something going on all the time, and in Inc evening there are bands playing ga lore The splendid asphalt drives of the city are source of pleasure to many. In the late afternoon when the heat of the day is dissipated by the gulf breeze, hundreds of carriages and automobiles are out.
 By the way, one of the great attrac- tions of San Antonio is the fine paving. Asphalt is used everywhere and the dry atmospherc keeps 1t a gIeaming white.
 There are also a number of beautiful parks in the Alamo City. chief of which is San Pedro park This is brag att traction in the eyes of the citizens. but when compared with the magnificent Golden Gate park of San Francisco, it is not drop in the bucket.
 few miles from San Antonio are the sulphur wells. There is a fine hotel here and the place is very popular as a health resort

Macedonian Leadership.
le Chicago Inter. Ocean.

From the Chicago lnter-Ocean.
 The Macedonians concentrating in Bull garia to invade Turkish territory are un- der the leadership which defied all civili- zation a year ago in the matter of Miss Ellen M. Stones release from brigands. The leaders seem to be conducting them- selves very much as did the Greek lead CTS of some years ago in urging an inva- sion of Macedonia, and thus precipitating a disastrous war with Turkey.
 The theory of the Greek leaders was that with war begun there must necessar- fly be intervention by the powers. There was no intervention, however and the en- thusiastic Greek volunteers were over whelmed by the Turkish regulars. Now the Macedonian leaders seem to believe that an attack on Turkey will result t', their benefit.
 As Russia, Austria-Hungary, and Tur- key have practically agreed upon Mac edonian programme. no good can come of an attack by few thousand Macedo- nians and Bugarians on the Turkish army. However deserving the Macedo- nian cause may be. 1t will not be advanc- ed by an ill-advised war, almost certain to end in defeat of the insurrectionary bands. and. as in case of the Greek war, in increased prestige for Turkish arms.

FILIPINO MONEY
Discussing Officer Sends Sam
pies of New Coins.

Stephen H. Barlow, disbursing officer
of the bureau Of architecture of Manila,
Philippine islands, has favored T h e
o b e, with a set of the new coins re-
Gently minted for the Filipinos.
The coins are of handsome design and
bear the United States coat of arms on
one side, while on the reverse there are
figures typifying industry.
The peso is the size Of the American
dollar, the medic peso of the half dollar,
the peSeta the size of a quarter and the
medic peseta of the American dime, while
the five centavo piece looks very much
like an American nickel. The one CEN
tayo is of copper, and is the size of the
old tWo-cent pieces. The medic centavo
is smaller than the American penny.
There is no f1uctuation in the value of
these coins. The government will ex-
change United States currency at the
treasury.
The government has also put series of
sreenbackS into circulation.
In my present capacity of diSburSing
omcer, says Mr. Barlow In his letter, II
pay out each month to laborers of the
bureau sums ranging from two pesetas to
twenty, pesos each. The payments are
made twice a month, and it is always
necessary to use wagon to haul the
money around. The natives prefer to be
paid in coin, and l doubt If INshall make
any change in my payments when the
greenbacks come out, except in making
payments of larger amounts
The F1llp1nOS do not use the dollar sign
Of the United States, but have one SINH
lar to signify peso. 1t consists of a let
ter with two horizontal lines drawn
through it. .

Blackberry brandy and the lighter wines

through the dealer in whose possession
the goods are found.
w. w. P. Mcconnell, dairy and food
commissioner, said to 7 h e G o b yes

AN OLD TIMER.
Has Had Experiences.

A woman who has used Postum Food
Coffee since it came upon the market
eight years ago knows from expert
ence the necessity of using Postum in
place of coffee if one values health
and a steady brain.
She says: AT the time Postum was
first put on the market I was, suffering
from nervous dyspepsia andfmy physi-
clan had repeatedly told Ane- not to use
tea or coffee Finally I decided to take
his advice and try Postum and got a
sample and had it; carefully prepared
finding it delicious to the taste. So /
continued its use and very soon its
beneficial effects convinced me Of it's
value for got well of my nervousness
and dyspepsia.
my husband had BEEN drinking cof-
fee all his life until it had affected his
nerves terribly. / persuaded him to
shift to Postum and it was easy to get
him to make the change for the Postum
is so delicious. 1t certainly worked
wonders for him. 81
1--WE soon learned that Postum
does not exhilarate or depress and
does not stimulate but steadily and
honestly strengthens the nerves and
the stomach. To make a long story
short our entire family have now used
Postum for eight years with completely
satisfying results as shown In our fine
condition of health and we have mo-
ticed rather unexpected Improvement

quite conservative in tone in COMPARE
son with some of the sentiments he had
previously given utterance to anent the

of organized labor should be rebuked, and
when also the laxity in the enforcement

rebuked. The abdication Of the powers

curing with disgusting frequency. 1t Is
time that something was being done.
think that the formation Of the Citizens
Industrial association is q long step to-
ward doing this something.
1T is a sad commentary upon our form
of government that it is beroming neces-
Sary for the forces of law and order to
organize for the purpose of compelling
the enforcement of the constitution OF
the United States. But since organiza
lions whose chief purpose apparently Is
to tear down the constitution are able to
thority and even to influence public
thought by intimidating the press and
public men, there is no alternative left
for the substantial and loyal citizenship
of the country except that of forming
counter organizations.
81 believe that unless organized labor
retreats from its insolent and presump-
tuous attempts to dictate over industry
without regard to the rights of others
guaranteed by our form of government
there will be an uprising of the indig
nant and outraged people of this country
the like of which has not been witnessed

SALOON MAN
WINS IN Court
If He Has State and County
License He Can Sell Liquor
Without Town Permit.

Special to The Globe.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Nov. 1.-THE
sustaining of demurrer in a liquor
suit arising at Montrose by Judge
Jones, of this city, while holding
term of state circuit court in McCook
county, brings up new question. A.
w. Perry wished to start a saloon at
Montrose, but his application for a
license was rejected, the town already
having several such establishments.
Upon the advice of his attorney he,
having taken out state and county
license, again attempted to secure a
license from the town board. His ap-
plication was once more refused. Perry
then secured bond and opened his
saloon. He was arrested on a COM
plant drawn up under the state liquor
license law for selling liquor without
having procured a town license or per-
init. When the case was called for
trial his attorney demurred to the in
formation on the ground that the state
law does not make it unlawful to sell
liquor without first having taken out
town license or permit. In other
words, as long as the defendant had
complied with the laws of the state in
taking out state license the state had
no jurisdiction.
In view of the fact that the town
council of Montrose had neglected to
enact an ordinance governing the
towns interest in the granting of sa-
loon licenses, Judge Jones sustained
the demurrer, and the case against Mr..
Perry was dismissed. Under this de-
cision towns or cities in the state
which have not enacted an ordinance
governing the licensing of saloons to
conform to the state liquor license law,
cannot prevent anyone who wishes to
do so from engaging in the business
of retail liquor dealer so long as the
state and county license has been Sc
cured. So far as known this is the
first time this question has been raised
since the liquor license law was passed.
