FIRST CONVICTION
SCARES SALOON MEN.
County Dramshop Keepers Alarmed
at Penalty Imposed on Robert
Smith-Lisence May be For
feited.
From the st. Louis Republic,

Since St. Louis County jury has
found Robert Smith, Delmar avenue
saloonkeeper, guilty of violating the
Sunday closing law, the lid will prob
ably be screwed down tight by the
dramshop keepers over the border
without the assistance OF Sheriff
Herpel. The conviction was the first
to be obtained against a saloon man
and caused cold chills to liquor deal
ers yesterday.
Smith keeps saloon opposite Del
mar race track He was found guilty
Of suffering liquor to be given away
In his place on Sunday, the first count
In the information, and the jury as
sessed the penalty at a $50 fine
In itself, the fine, which is the min
imum, is considered a bagatelle and
could be paid easily with one Sundays
profits. However, the conviction in
wolves a forfeiture Of the license and
prohibits the county court from grant
ing another for two years. This is
what has caused the county saloon
keepers to sit up and ponder the lid.
Whether the conviction involves
forfeiture, ipso facto, is a mooted
point among Clayton attorneys. Sena-
tor A. B. l.. Gardener, who defended
Smith, thinks that 1t does Judge
George W. Wolf and II. ii. Stevens,
attorneys for other liquor dealers,
hold otherwise. They contend that
1t is necessary for the county court to
declare formally the license forfeited.
LICENSE FORFEITED.
The test will come If Smith Is ar
rested on a charge of selling liquor
without license. However, it will
be held In allegiance for some time, as
Gardener announced that an appeal
would be taken.
Considerable merrlment was caused
in the trial by the attempt OF the de-
fense to prove that Shiriff Herpel
practically forced Smith to open his
place and give him drink. Herpel,
his chief deputy, A. ]. Shores, r.,and
Justice Frank L. Stoble were the
States witnesses. They said that
Fmith refused to sell them a drink,
but permitted his bartender to treat.
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Kis-
kaddon ridiculed the suggestion.
The jury was out for an hour dis
cussing the amount Of the fine. The
maximum is $500.
The case of Herman Zimmerman,
a Stratman saloonkeeper, was nolle
pressed by Prosecuting Attorney
johnson after the States evidence
had been presented. 1t showed that
the drink had been sold by thinner
mann's bartender, during his absence
and against his express order.
], B. Mueller, another keeper near
Delmar race track, will be tried to-
day for a similar offense.

Do you remember the little things that
gave US so much pleasure when we were
youngl With what zest did we sit down to
the table after our play was over and eat the
n1ush and milk Our mother put before US.
But as we get older it takes more to give
us pleasure. Mush aud milk no longer
tastes good to us, and our digestion may be
impaired. The best advice we can give to
such person is to tone up the stomach with
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. 1t
is natures most valuable and health giving
agent-made without the use of alcohol. 1t
contains roots, herbs and barks, and is the
concentration of natures vitality as found
in the fields and woods This remedy has
a history which speaks we'll for 1t because
1t was given to the public by DR.. r. v.
Pierce, founder of the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N Y, nearly
forty years ago, and has since been sold by
druggists in ever increasing quantities.
Some medicines, tonics or compounds, en-
Joy large sale for few years, then disap-
pear from the public attention, but DR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has
proved such a reliable blood remedy and
tonic that it often enjoys the confidence of
several generations in a family, and its in
creased sales year by year coming from the
recommendations of those who have tried
it, prove its lasting merit, SO that every
bottle bears the stamp of public .pprovai.
Every other blood-fnaker and tonic for the
stomach that we know of contains alcoho,,
but DIR. Pierce guarantees that no alcohol
is contained in his Medical Discovery"

In Memory of Mrs. Kokendoffer


The following was unanmusly adopt
ed by the Christian church prayer
meeting Wednesday night:
Dear Bro. Kokendoffer:-We, as
representing the members of the
Christian Church of Mexico, wish, to
express our fellowship of suffering
with you in this great affliction that
has befallen you,
Not only would we divide and bear
together with you this saddest stroke;
but desire also to testify our own per
sonal bereavement in the loss of one
whom we had learned to love with a
devotion called forth only by the
noblest Of woman.
To speak of the beautiful traits and
personal charms, the magnetism and
loving kindness of Sister Kokendoffer
would be needless at this time seeing
they were patent to everyone who
approached her.
We know that only our Father In
Heaven can heal this bruise; but we
also know that he is ever ready to
bind up the broken hearted; and we
together make our suppllcation that
the Father of Mercy through ouI
Lord Jesus Christ would SO temper
and mitigate this great afIliction that
you may be able to bear it with
Christian patience and resignation.
