For the lack of evidence I move

saloon be dismissed spoke up Coun-
Gilman Bachtold.

claration that there was some evidence

Thomas replied no.

open?" was the next question fired
Thomas reiterated his former state
ment that men were in the habit of go
ing in and out of the saloon after
their bedding and added that there
was an employment agency in the
back end Of his saloon where men in
search of work usually congregated.
He offered to prove his statements by
one of the men named Morris.
Bachtold did not get a second to his
motion to dismiss the case and on
Bridges motion the four cases were
continued to next Monday night.

The spectacle of a lot of councilmen,

Pa Harmon is one of the

several local sports were at Sol

Booze Is Returned to Omaha,

Logan Observer.
An understanding having been
reached, between Mayor John
son, the express company and
the shippers, the 1872 gallons of
beer and the 80 of whisky which
had been sent here for Fourth
of July consumption were re-
turned to the shippers at the
expense of the express compa-
ny, and the addresses never
had a look in.
1t is understood that by the
agreement reached between Mr..
Almor Middleton, route agent
for the American Express Co.
and Mayor johnson, that the
company was not to ship any
liquor into Logan under the cir
cumstances the consignment in
question was shipped. That is,
not labeled, either as to the con-
tents of the package or as to the
proper name OF the person sup
posed to be addressed.
There are a number of points
upon which Mr.. johnson can
find justification for his action
in corralling the liquor in the
manner he did. Under the pure
food law the label on the out
side of a package, sold for any
consumption, must bear the
name of contents of the pack
age. Liquors must not only
bear such label but in addition
to the correct name OF the per-
son addressed they must also
have on the price that has been
paid for them, and no G. O. D.
packages allowed transmission
through express office.
This action of the city officials
shows wisdom, as if such agree
ment had not been reached it is
likely that courts would have
been entered and big costs piled
up against the city. Asa last
resort the companies might
have taken the matter to the
supreme court of the United
States.

ADVERTISE in
NEWSPAPERS
That is the Advice OF the Iowa
Retail Merchants

Ilell Is tHG ADVICE OF inc iowa
Retail Merchants
Sioux City Journal: News
paper advertising was declared
to be the very best possible
way of acquainting customers
with what a merchant has for
sale at yesterdays session of
the Iowa State Retail Merch-
ants association. All of those
who took part in the discussion
of "Why and How Should Re-
tail Merchants ADVERTISED"
agreed upon this one point.
Suggestions were offered for
supplementary advertising.
The discussion was led by e..
NJ. Taylor, of Sibley, and H. v.
Harlan, of Toledo. Many other
retailers volunteered addresses
on this all important question.
1t was one of the most inter-
esting discussions of the entire
session. Frequent changes of
advertisements with plenty of
type were said to be important
elements in successful adver-
tising. The merchants also
agreed that advertising should
be constant; that a half page
now and then was not as good
as a few inches every day or
every week where only weekly
papers are issued. Some Of
the speakers said they owned
their own type, and that their
ads were set up under their
own supervision.
Allof the speakers denounced
the practice of lying in ads.
They believed it was better to
pleasantly surprise the custom
ers than to disappoint them.
All urged friendliness to the
publishers of the newspapers on
the assumption that every time
their name appeared in the
newspaper it was valuable adj
vertising.

er of the Carlisle Bros, is able
