SEVENTH VICTIM DEAD
The Boiler Explosion st Holcombe
Proves Greater Disaster Than
First Reported.

The terrible boiler explosion at Hol~
combe, an account of which appears
on another page, has proved more dis
astrous than at first reported. The
seventh victim has died in the Chip
pewa Falls hospital and another is ex~
pected to succumb to his injuries.
These accidents open the question
why we should not have inspection of
boilers and examination of engines?
Such measure ought to have desir-
able effect.

WOMAN LOVE.

While Robert G. Ingersoll is
not often quoted in home circle
department, and his teachings
were harmful to the home, yet he
said some of the most beau
tiful things ever spoken and said
them the best, says ar exchange.
He was on one occasion asked to
give two views in a symposium of
women and in reply said: 1T
takes a hundred men to make an
encampment, but one woman can
make home. | not only admire
woman as the most beautiful OBJ
jet ever created, but | rever ence
her as the redeemed glory of hu-
mainly, the sanctuary of all vir-
tues, the pledge of all perfect
qualities of heart and head. 1t is
because women are so much bet
ter than men that their faults are
considered greater. The one
thing in this world that is con-
slant, the only peak that rises
above all the clouds, the one win
dow in which the liz hit burns
forever, the one star that darkness
cannot quench. is woman's love.
1t rises to the greatest heights, it
sinks to the lowest depths. it for
gives the most cruel injuries. A
woman's love is the perfume of
the heat. This is the real love
that subdues the earth; the love
that has wrought all miracles of
art; that gives us music all the
way from the cradle song to the
grand closing symphony that
bears the soul on wings OF fire.
A love that is greater than power,
sweeter than life and stronger
than death"

THE MISSION OF THE SOUTHERN SENTINEL

The Sentinel publis he'd last
week an editorial written by the
present editor twenty-three years
ago when the nearest railroad to
this section was the Texas and
Pacific which was west of Red
River thirty-fve miles away, and
the next was at Monroe, which
was the then terminus of the v.
S. & P. Railroad. The closing
sentence of that article was:
I'VE shall make it a point to
keep before the public the advan-
tages, (of Winn parish) presented
in all their different forms" How
veil The Sentinel, through the
numerous editors who have had
charge, has carried out this prom
Use, we shall leave to the readers,
some of whom have been constant
readers since the first issue was
sent out on September 20, 1883.
On January 18th. the present
editor again assumed the editorial
management of the Sentinel. after
lapse of twenty years in which
the paper was edited and controll-
ed by others, and in assuming the
editorial management, we made
this pledge to our readers and the
citizens of Winfield and Winn
parish: at is our aim to give
the good people of this parish
live, newsy and readable newspa-
per; dedicated to the upbuilding
of the best interests of the citi-
zenship in the way of good roads,
good schools, and good feeling
among the people. and to place
among an enquiring public the
many advantages to be had in this
section where good and desirable
citizens may come into our midst
and share some of the good things
we have here; simply for coming
for them"
How we'll we have carried uot this
pledge is evidenced by the loyal
and liberal support we have re
ceived at your hands. We have
spared neither labor nor expense
to make the Sentinel one of the
best newspapers in North Louis
lana. The many Hattering COM
pliments we have received through
the press and from men compe-
tent to Judge in such matters,
leads US to believe, without egot-
ism. that we have succeeded in a
measure. Our mission, though,
is not ended. We want the Sem
tinel to visit every house in WInn
parish. We have. at heavy ex-
pense, enlarged our plant and are
continually adding improvements,
and in the near future will be in a
position to give our readers a
daily paper, with the Geographic
market reports. For our readers
to take advantage Of this. they
should make application to the
government to place rural deliv-
cry routes throughout this parish
50 your mail can be brought to
your door six days in every week
To get these routes it is necessary
to have good roads. 1t then be-
hooves you to insist on your pol
ice jurors making some provisions
for working the public roads Other
than the old obsolete way the
roads have been worked in
the past. Have them visit Jack
son, Ouachita. Claiborne. BossieI
and Caddo parishes and see how
\they work their roads.
When We get good roads in

CITY WATER WORKS.

water works in Winfield.
The Mayor and Board of Alder
men of WINFIELD at their last
meeting made contra ct with Mr..
VIM. Macintosh of New Or
leans. civil engineer OF exPer-
fence, who is to make map OF
the town showing where the
mains and hydrants should be To-
cateG to make a perfect water
system, and where the mains
should be located to give water
supply and fire protection to the
greatest number of people with
the money that can be raised;
with plans and specifications OF
the plant, power house, reservoir
and tanks and the cost of COM
plete system and partial system.
The Board of Aldermen also
purchased lot of ground from
Mrs. S. A. Wright for the location
of the power house, wells and
reservoir. They bought this
ground on account of the peculiar
fitness for that purpose and so
nearly the center of the popula-
ton of the town.
We think the Mayor and Board
of Aldermen displayed good
judgment in both of these acts
and only favorable comments can
be made of them.
The contract with the engineer
was for the purpose of ascertain
ing exactly, by actual survey and
measurement, the amount OF
money necessary to establish a
system of water works and not 60
on guessing. as has been the case
for some time past. When the
survey is completed and the lines
laid down and the estimate made,
then they will know just what to
do.
The purchase Of the lot was
move that showed good judg-
ment. The idea was to get lot
close enough to the railroad 10
save hauling fuel, and secure il
now. as the property along the
lines of the railroads is enhancing
in value all the time and again, it
was necessary for the engineer,
in making the plans, 10 have the
location of the power house set
tied SO as to make a perfect and
accurate estimate.
| This is what the Mayor and
| Board of Aldermen have done,
| As soon as they receive the re
port of the engineer they will
then submit the question to the
| citizens of Winfield to take the
sense of the property tax payers
as to whether they will tax them.
selves to build a water works
system, the plans of which will be
open for inspection to every prop
erty tax payer
/ The great increase in the popu-
lation in the town of WINFIELD is
causing the question of healthy
drinking water to be seriously
considered. The only water now
available is the surface water
ranging from ten to thirty feet
which will necessarily become
: contaminated with surface soiline
: closets, and should the water be
contaminated with the typhoid

OF that dread disease. 1t is besl
that we take precautions now anc

wood. Next door to the Glen-Wood, and in the same building, is the Glen-Wood Pharmacy The other day a man entered investigation. It is the extreme type of the drugless drugstore. In the process of evolution the space in front of the pre- scription case has practically been elimi- mated. Green curtains hang at each end of the prescription case. The man in the front of the store made no comment or objection as the visitor pushed back the curtains and stepped into the room in the rear Here there was a small, but complete bar. with everything necessary to a retail liquor business.
 As the visitor came out he stopped in the front room Can I get some empty capsules?" he asked the clerk.
 Sorry" was the reply. "but we haven't any in stock"
 About a year ago the state board of pharmacy started a crusade against some of the drugstores in Topeka for selling medicines without having a registered pharmacist employed. The druggist made novel but effective defense-they didn't sell any medicine, therefore they were not breaking the law against selling drugs without a registered pharmacist. An in- vestigation proved that this defense. at that time al least was based upon literal truth. The state board hired men to go to the suspected stores and make pu.- chases of drugs At three stores the men were unable to buy anything in the line of drugs.
 At the Annex one of the employees of the state board asked for qulnine. He was told that they were out of quinlne at thAt time, but had shipment coming.

DRUGLEss DRUGsToREs
Are Plentiful in Prohibition Kansas
 and Sell Much Liquor.

From the Kansas City Star.
 Kansas under the prohibitory law has developed a unique institution-the drug less drugstore. There are towns in Kan sas where the 'druggists' who do the most fourishing. business are the ones who serve their customers behind the prescription case and at whose stores you can get a mint julep or an absnthe cocktail, but cannot buy qunine pill
 The prohibition drugstore does not reach it's highest development in the ''wide-op towns. Where there is an open saloon on every corner to minister to the needs of the man with a thirst the druggists are forced to fall back upon the menial business of selling spring ton- ics and liver pills. The town where there is some pretense of enforcing the pro- hibition law is the one that offers the richest field for the drugless pharmacist One of those towns is Topeka. In Topeka a large share of the liquor business is done behind the prescription cases of drugstores. In some of these stores there are complete bars, with everything per taining to a modern saloon. Also, some of the stores have practically no drugs in stock and would be unable to supply the most common drugs to any customer unsophisticated enough to call for them.
 In the early days of prohibition the ad- vantages of the druggist over the joint keeper were at once observed, and all

over the state drugstore men of certain stamp began doing liquor business on the side As the druggist has a permit to sell liquor. the fact of having made sales is not sufficient evidence to con vict him of lawbreaking. If he observes any caution whatever fthe chances are that he will prosper long in his business without being convicted in the courts.
 For long time the drug men who soll liquor did it cautiously. Most of them reouired their customers to go through the form of filling out the legal formula. naming the malady for which the liquor was needed Some druggists maintain this rule even at the present day. The next step was to the store in which safe" patrons are allowed to go behind the prescription case and call for what they want without filling out the affi- davit. Last of all came the drugstore with regular bar behind the prescrip- ton case and no drugs at all.
 There are probably a half dozen or more drugstores in Topeka that have well appointed bars. In all of these establish ments the system is the same The show windows and the front part of the sore present the appearance of the ordinary pharmacy. The windows are filled with drug advertisements, and the shelves bear the same rows of bottles that are found in other drugstores. Usually most of these bottles are dummies, filled with chalk or flour or colored water. Toward the back of the room there Is prescrip- ton case that shuts off the view of the rear part of the store. The patron goes behind this prescription case without challenge and finds himself in a typical barroom. with mirrors and bottles and polished bar and white aproned attend ants.
 A popular custom is to have drugstore next door to a hotel, so that the patrons of the hostelry may have liquid refresh- ments without danger to the hotel man. The Copeland. the best known hotel in Kansas, has a drugstore next door known as the Copeland Annex. corridor from the main lobby of the hotel leads through an open door into the Annex. where the thirsty guest can get liquids in abundance and variety.
