STRONGER THAN BEER
65 PER CENT OF ALCOHOL IN A
PATENT PREPARATION - MER-
CHANTS OBSERVE NEW LAW.

Special to The Journal
Cumberland, Wis, April MANY country
and department. stores turnout the northwest
have been obliged to discontinue the sale of
many Of the standard patent medicines, owing
to federal ruling, taking effect April I, to the
effect that many Of these remedies contain u
large per cent of alcohol enough in fact to bring
them under the classification Of intoxtcants.
One preparation, upon anlyss, was found to
contain IS per cent Of alcohol, or more than Is
found in beer, wine and other beverages. The
government made this discovery last November,
as result of the exposure of publications that
Investigated the formulas of these preparations.
All dealers in patent medicines were notified
that they would have to take out a government
license by April /, in order to sell these goods.
Very few of the merchants cared to engage
opNuly in the liquor business consequently had
to dispose Of their patent medicines as best they
could. The new ruling does not affect the drug
stores, as they necessarily have to have gov
eminent liquor license in any event.

Hard Fight for Funk.

Dickinson county, casting only 1900 republican
votes and having but eight delegates in the
state convention is about the smallest county
In the state, yet the Perkins managers have
made their most determined fight there. This Is
for the reason that it is the home of Senator
A B. Funk, editor of the Spirit Lake Beacon,
and one of the leading Cummins men of Iowa.
Mr. Perkins desires to punish Funk for not
supporting the candidate Of his, district.
Dickinson is the only county in the state to
date where Perkins speeches have been delivered
and it is thoroly organized by Perkins supporters
The caucuses will be held the 18th.

Special to The Journal,

Sioux City, Iowa, April 7.-Within three weeks
most of the caucuses conventions Of the eIev-
enth district for selection of delegates to the
state convention will have been held, the fight
in the backyard of George D. Perkins of Sioux
City will be practically and it may be
possible to predict definitely the outcome of the
struggle of Governor A. B. Cummins for renonl-
nation for third term .'. re-. ..-.'..
The first convention in the district will be in
Woodbury. county Monday, April 10. Dickinson
will follow April q, and it is probable that u
whole group Of counties will hold conventions
in that week.
1t has been considered necessary all along for
Perkins to get home Endorsement If he is to
ask the republicans Of the state at large to sup
port him. Governor Cummins recognized this
when he game into the eleventh district as early
as February to make his first campaign speeches.
The Perkins supporters have lately determined
to hurry the conventions in the counties of the
district which they hope to carry. In this way
they concentrate their forces these coun-
ties, and then devote their energy to other
sections, where the Cummins strength is more
formidable. They also desire the prestige which
the instruction of two more county delegations
would give his candidacy. 1t was for this reason
| that the Woodbury. convention was called fol-
April 16, and steps taken to have early conven-
lions In Monona and Osceola, which almost
certain to go for Perkins, and in Lyon ano
Dick nson, where the Perkins forces are making
| q vigorous campaign.

J. D. Tremmel of Florida has sold to Bessie S. Smith brick building on Sew enteenth street, between Avenues D and E, and two dwelling houses on Seven teenth street, between Avenues F and G, the consideration being S445o.

JAY GOULD'S NERvY BLUFF.
Brought Express Company to Terms
 by Buying Safes.

From the W ashington Post.
 Recalling early days in the express busi- ness, an officer of one of the largest eom- panies recently told this story of Jay Gould:
 Gould and Eiske then had hold of the Erie" he said. ''and the United States Express company had all the express bus mess on the road The contract was about to expire, and Gould wanted an ar engagement more profitable to the Erie.
 "'The Fries doing all the work and you're making all the money Gould said to the express people. You ought to do some of the work and give the railroad chance at the money
 "The express company officials de- murred. Their profit, they insisted, was no more than they were entitled to, and they refused to shave the contract pen ny. Gould insisted on decrease. but they remained obdurate, and eventually let the Erie president understand-what he very well knew-that no other company would compete against the United States for the Erie business. All the companies were at that time in an agreement to maintain rates.
 
 sion of the interview, you've no objec- tion guess. to my going into the ex- press business for myself. If looks better than railroading.
 "The express people replied that Gould could organize all the companies he want ed to. They thought 1t was all bluff, but things that came to their attention soon weakened their faith in this idea. Gould was going around among his associates talking up an express company scheme. officials of other roads were told that a new company would be in the field to bid for their business. and the papers began to talk about the new Gould Express company.
 "The express officials. however. saw none of Gould's money going into the en- terprlse. and stood pat Presently it was reported that he had bought 2i big ex- press safes. Was this talk. or was it bus mess? the express men asked themselves. They set to work Investigating, and they discovered that the report was true. Gould had actually bought and paid for the safes

Josiah Flynts Early Life.

One of the startling literary features of the month is the first installment of the autobiography of Josiah Flynt. which be- gins in Success Magazine for December. It is the frank, outspoken life story OF one of the most interesting characters in American literature. Flynt is the man who has tramped through the middle west, begged at kitchen doors, and has dined with such men as Tolstoi. This lit- tie phase of his life taken from his boy hood recollections shows how unadorned his story is:
 'I doubt whether my father ever liked me as he liked the three other children. There was something in my weazened face and dminutive form that seemed to vex him. My mother made the mistake of leaving the punishment of children for my father to attend to when he returned from the city at night, tired out, often cross, and his judgment by no means well in hand. My father had two forms of punishment for me; he would point one finger sternly at the sofa in the sitting room which meant that must crawl un- der the sofa and await his pleasure and point another finger significantly at the cellar door, which indicated that I was to go below into the darkness and shiver with fear until he came down to whip me. That was the way l learned to be afraid in the dark-a sorrow to me all through my youth; even now. at times. the old fear comes faintly back on occasions when l am nervous or oVerwrought.
 'I am afraid that l learned to hate him. I also learned to deceive and pilfer. These sad trials in my boyish character were not inherted-not a bit of it. Both of my parents came of stock which did not tol- crate such oblquity their parents also. l took to lying and stealing small things. because this seemed to me the easiest way to get happiness. Whippings were going to come sooner or later, anyhow, reasoned, so why not achieve my ends by trickery and deception. My father watched my thieving habits develop. I re- member that on one occasion had appro- priated a quarter of a dollar anu a num- Der of trihes. which had taken my fancy during a prowling excursion in the house. At night after the other children had gone to bed, I was called to the bar in the sitting room, where my father searched me. my mother looking on. The plunder was discovered of course, al- though I had planted it rather artfully in different parts of my clothing. Both parents smiled at my discomfiture look Ing significantly at each other--a look in- deed which puzzled me very much at the time"

safes cost money in those days, too- and he was negotiating for all the other equipment required.
 Now, thoroughly convinced of Goulds sincerity tho express company came to terms. Gould got the best contract from a railroad standpoint that had been known up to that time The clause in the con tract that the United States Express com pany considered most valuable to itself was one stpulating the abandonment of Gould express plans.
 Tt was all q buff on Goulds part, ex- cept buying the safes For that matter. the purchase was, of course, part of the bluff, but Gould had actually bought and paid for them internationally. Neverthe- less, he lost nothing on the deal for as soon as friendly relations were established with the express officials he persuaded them they could use the safes in their business, and sold them to them at a lit- tie better than cost"
 Was Thomas c. Platt at the head of the United States Express company then?
 ''No,' was the reply. neither Platt nor any other Senator"

Unappreciative.

When Blanche Ring visited Baltimore as the star of Dolly Dollars" she called one morning. shortly before noon at one of the public schools. to see an old class mate. teacher of one of the primary grades, who had class of very young scholars.
 During her stay the principal of the school a mana grey-beard-dropped in and quizzed the class about arithmetic. answering queries from the pupils as well as putting them. The pupils didn't take any more interest in the examination than the very young mind usually does in prob lems mathematical As the principal was about to leave. he suddenly changed his mind and stopped to give the children q short talk on equations.
 Now" he said at the close of his ad- dress, If any scholar has any more ques- tions to ask, I shall be glad to answer"
 What time is it?' piped one of the children.
