DRUGGIST IS TRIED.
Case of the Eagle Drug Store Taken
Under Amusement.

A Dig liquor case was tried in po-
lice court this morning, the case be-
ing that of E. L. Evans, arrested July
81 for maintaining nuisance at the
Eagle drug store, 404 Kansas avenue.
The magnitude of the case was the
result of the large number of wit
nesses, and the fact that the prosecu-
ton was assisted by w. H. Cowles-
All the conversation in the case was
taken by a stenographer, and the
court paid out nearly all the witness
money on hand. Thirteen Outside"
witnesses testified that they didn't
know anything about the place, didn't
know the defendant and so on, after
the usual custom. The testimony of
police officers tended to make a. case
against the drug store, but had little
bearing on the defendant. The case
was brought against Evans as propri-
etor of the place, it having been as
certained that he held the liquor per-
NIT for that number. Therefore tes-
timony could be used only as concern
ing transa ctions between the time that
the permit was issued, April IL, and
the date of the complaint, July 81.
The few witnesses who had made pur-
chases at the place testified that it
was either before or after the "open
season. during which Evans held the
permit, or that such purchases of liQ-
uor were from the negro porter or
other assistants in the store The case
was taken under Amusement by Judge
Hamilton, who agreed to hear any
legal authority the defense could bring
to show that the proprietor should
not be convicted for sales of liquor
illegally made by subordinates. The
case was an expensive one, and con-
sumed about three hours time, but for
all the evidence squeezed out of the
outside" witnesses, they might as well
have been left off the list. About a
dozen witnesses who were subpoenaed,
failed to appear when their names
were called by the prosecuting at
torney. The thirteen who did testi-
fy knew very little about the place.
Chief Stahl looked surprised each time
a witness testified to facts different
from the reports brought to him by
his spoilers.

INTO THEIR NEW HOME.
Parlxhurst-D Mercantile Company
Is Moving In.

The Parkhurst-Davis Mercantile
company is moving into the new
building at First and Kansas avenue
today.
Since the big fire this firm has been
transacting business at a disadvantage
inasmuch as the storage rooms were
scattered. Offices have been maintain
ed in the Rock Island depot and the
warerooms have been scattered so that
it has been hard to handle business in
an economical manner.
The new building is receiving the
finishing touches, and it will be oc-
cupied before the work is completed.
The new building is but four stories
high while the former building was
five stories above the street level.

Jewell County Republican: This pa
per has never had the slightest doubt
that Tom Kelly is a boodler and it
begins to look as if that fact would
sooner or later be made plain to the
whole country. His name ought to be
taken off the Republican ticket. Gov
ernor Bailey recently ordered an inves-
ugation OF the state treasurer S accounts
and the public school fund account.
The state accountant makes the follow
ing report: This examination has de-
veloped shortages, irregularities, and
discrepancies amounting to many thou
sands of dollars in the twelve counties
the same conditions existing in the
twelve counties investigated will be
found in the remaining counties of the
state, not only in the permanent school
fund but in the normal and agricultural
funds Why should the Republican
party undertake to uphold and defend
and cover up such rotten spot in its
ticket? This paper is Republican to
the core and always has been. We have
no personal spite at Tom Kelly or any
body else; we only wish he were
square man, so we could support him.
But we are thoroughly convinced that
he is not. His home people say he was
a boodler in county affairs and voted
Overwhelmingly against him and will do
it again; but Kelly's strength with the
politicians is so great and his income
from the money belonging to the state
is so useful, that up to this time he has
been stronger than the people of his
home county or the opposition through
out the state. The time has come how
ever, when Kelly ought to be forced off
the ticket. Gov. Bailey has placed all
the information he has received in the
hands of the attorney general for action.
We understand that Kelly is making
the shortage good as fast as possible.
Over 81, 900 has been turned in since the
investigation began, some OF which
should have been credited to the state
years ago, but was held out and spec
ulated upon by Kelly. Before Kelly
was treasurer he was Grimes assistant
and was the man who really did the j
business Some of the shortages reach |
back into the Grimes term, but Kelly |
was the manipulation of all the schemes
in both administrac fons. His reelection |
will be disgrace to the state and to
the Republican party.
