Washington, Sept. e23.-The internal

investigation having been caused by the
campaign against patent medicines car

prominence. Mr.. Yerkes, International
revenue commissioner, announced that

der is permitted to stand, the retail
drug trade in cities and towns where
saloons are not allowed will perhaps
be made to take out saloonkeeper

"DAM SITE" AS NAME
OF A TOWN IN TEXAS
New York Sun Special Service.


Washington, Sept. 23.--Cecil Lyon,
republican national committeeman and
dictator Of Texas, host of President
Roosevelt during the latter's Texas
trip this year, and an active business
man Of the Lone Star state, wants a
postoffice in Hardeman country, Texas,
named "Dam Site. -
0No profanity is intended, says
Lyon. 1--WE are building an irrigation
dam in Hardeman county, and / notice
the engineers date their reports Dam
Site. A town is growing up there,
and it needs postoffice. An unpro-
nouncable Indian name was suggested
to me by a man who never saw the
place, but Dam Site sounds good to
me.
The postoffice department will prob.
ably give the town the desired name.

One o'clock on Tuesday found US
on board the White City Special en-

AS we were leaving the city we
saw something of the coal shipment
by rail. For over four miles were
cars loaded with coal on two and
even three tracks side by side,
waiting to betransferred; and when
one remembers that this is only one
of the many railways leading from
the great coal fields into Chicago,
and that Chicago is but one of the
great distribution centers, he be-
gins to wonder at the enormous out
put of this fuel product and how
long it will last at this rate of con-
sumption.
Little incidents of an amusing
character may be seen almost every
day by nearly every person, and
my observing nature discovered
one of these from the car window
while leaving the city, which | can
not refrain from relating here. Our
train had stopped for moment at a
little station in one of the fine resi-
dence suburbs of the city, and the
first object that attracted my atten-

r. K. Slater, state dairy and food
commissioner, is preparing to hold
an educational butter contest dur
ing the next six months. Circulars

At meeting of the Marshall com
mercial club last week the PROPOSE

heartily approved, and a committee
was appointed to inaugurate the

to be held in the afternoon of each
day, the association having leased

yard crew from here three hours to
dig Engineer Burke and his engine
out and start the train for town.
Conductor Case and John Keegan
were out as soon as the train was
stalled and the two crews worked
until nine clock before the freight
and the passenger cars were
dragged from the drift. There were
only half dozen passengers on the
Marshall train. Jack McDermott,
Jerome Mccarthy and J. Dougher-
ty, bridge carpenters, were on, but
decided not to wait for the train to
st<.st. They walked in through the
the storm, reaching town about an
quarter of an hour before the train
pulled in. The rest of the passen-
gers sat around the stoves or kept
a lookout from the rear door, fear
ing that the Redwood train would
catch them. Conductor Crouch and
his train were held at Evan until

New Ulm is considering the ad-
visibility of locating a pumpkin fac

large quantity of pumpkins in or

valuable for the manufacture Of

$25 per ton.
St. Peter Tribune: There is a
widespread disagreement of old
