The ruling OF the commission has
been followed in South Carolina by an

sold except upon the prescription OF a
physician, and II druggists or others

known medicines are given as contain
ing a high percentage of alcohol.
Other states are expected to follow
the lead Of South Carolina.
Many of the prohibition states of the
country are overrun with these medi-
cines, and may require them to be sold
only on prescription, which would de-
stroy the sale, as physicians do not
prescribe the medicines.
1t is said that many Of these prepa-
rations have come on the market since
the growth Of the prohibition senti-
ment in the country. and that their
chief sales have been in prohibition
communities.

DAYTON SUCCEEDS JACKSON.
The West Virginia Representative
Nominated to Be District Judge.

The nomination of Representative Aston
G. Dayton to be United States district Judge
for the northern district of West Virginia
today was not surprise to his many
friends in Congress. Mr.. Dayton had been
slated for this position for many years.
He has had the support of the two West
Virginia senators Several times in the
past few years when it was rumored that
Judge ]. ]. Jackson would resign Mr..
Dayton was referred to as his successor.
The rupture Mr.. Dayton had with Mr..
Dawson when the latter a candidate
for the nomination governor, and when
Mr.. Dayton supported his friend Teter
caused a good many persons to believe that
Dawson might be able to prevent Day
toms appointment to the judgeship.
Mr.. Dayton has been one of the most
active men in Congress. AS the ranking
member of the committee on naval affairs
Mr.. Dayton did much for the upbulding
of the navy. He is well known all over
West Virginia, and in his own district is
said to have personal acquaintance with
almost every voter. AS a lawyer he has
had a high rank.
He will succeed John J. Jackson, the old
est member of the federal judiciary. Judge
Jackson was appointed by President Lin
coin in August, 1861, and has served con-
tinuouSly ever since. At the time of his
appointment he was a member of the Vir

A Pretty Present for Quentin.

President Roosevelts love for his baby
boy. Quentin, and his interest in children,
were brought out in pleasant little incl
dent of the Inauguration days. Charles n.
Teetor is the superintendent of car build
ing company at Hagerstown, Ind. He has
a little son named Lothair, eight years old.
The father had agreed to bring the son 20
the inauguration and the boy felt that he
would like to bring something along to
Quentin the seven-year-old son of the
President. The father suggested fine top,
and proceeded to plan one. He turned the
plans over to the little son. who began
work upon the bronze and steel his father
had given him. With the help of the work
men he soon turned out the finest top ever
given to the son of a President or to any
other boy. One night the little fellow
worked until nearly midnight at the lathes,
and the other hours Were put in before and
after school and on Saturday.
When completed the mechanism was so
delicately adjusted and the friction so little
that the top, with little pulling from a
string, would run twenty minutes. A small
steel plate was also made upon which the
toy should spin. The problem of the two
Teetors was how to reach the little son of
the President They finally secured a letter
of introduction to Colonel Crook, the dis
bursting officer of the White House, and he
acquainted Quentin with the details Quen-
tin, fine little fellow with kind word and
thought for all, went to his father Saturday.
during the rush of the inauguration. and
told him the story The father suggested
that he bring the little Indiana boy to see
him. The two boys met at the White House
Monday afternoon and Quentin arranged
for the visit. taking in both the Teetors.
Although the President was extremely busy.
he spent some time talking to his visitors
and had the little boy spin the top for him.
He made the youngster happy by giving
him a card upon which was written this in
the Presidents handwriting:
ITO Lothair Teetor, with the thanks of
Quentin's father.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
Quentin also added his thanks and the lit
tie Indiana boy was invited to return and
visit both the President and his son.

ALONG THE HUN RIVER.
Energetic Advance of Japanese i
Stubbornly Resisted.

MUKDEN, March 7.-At the beginning of
the operations westward the Russians after
a succession of fights occupied five adj
vanced positions and a front extended
along the Hun river and resting ON the
villages of Chiantsanhetan, where the
Liaoyang- -Sinmintin road crosses the Hun
river, and Chandetai further west where
the first corps was stationed.
The energetic advance of the japanese
on Tsinkhetchen caused General Kuropat-
kin to send reinforcements eastward. The
first corps was withdrawn and it's place
was occupied by regiments of rifemen.
The Japanese on being informed of this
weakening of the Russian line threw nine
divisions against this advanced force.
The attacks the first day were repulsed
but news coming in that the Japanese had
four columns moving up the Lao valley
and turning the Russian right the rifle
men were ordered to retire along the east
bank of the river. The Japanese. March

puZi, taking the rifiemen and the adjoin-
ing corps northward in the flank and rout-
ing them with the heaviest losses.
AT this juncture General KauIbars or
dered the divisions under the command of
General OlembatOffSky to attack and take
the villages of Peithous and SathaiZi on
the Schach river. tributary of the Hun,
at any cost, to cover the retirement of the
rest of the force.
In the face of a terrible fire from five bat
teries, two of them firing shells loaded with
Shimose powder, the regiments accomplish
ed their task, capturing the villages, seven
machine guns and three hundred prisoners,
and holding the positions until the retire
ment was effected. The evacuation of the
position took place during the night
At this time the Japanese were attack

tin road and desperate fights were in
progress at Sanlinpon and Snchinpu. AS
TIE Japanese We're moving more north
ward 1t became evident that further
change of front was necessary, particularly
as the position at Sududyapu was uncov
cred by the retirement of Gen. 1vanoff from
Tatayan. The Japanese directed a series
of heavy attacks in that direction and the
village changed hands several times, but
finally remained in the possession of the
Japanese.
The operation of changing front was
conducted with speed During this opera
lion it was found necessary to burn the
large commissariat warehouses at Suhude-
pu, Chantan and Sifontai.
