and Jens Johnson of Union county
succeeded in carrying off a number
of the best prizes. South Dakota,
Minnesota and Wisconsin were put in

the seasons and conditions in these
three states being practically the
same. Mr.. Wimple's individual exhib-

three states, the prize being 160 acres

WILL NOT OBEY PURE FOOD LAW

An interesting fight is about to be
pulled off in this state, and it is be-
iieved Aberdeen or Sioux Falls will be
selected as the field of operations. On
one side is A. H. Wheaton, the state
pure food commissioner, and arrayed
against him are practically all the
druggists in South Dakota. The
trouble is over an order issued by
Commissioner Wheaton to all drug
gists and others selling prepared
medicines prohibiting them from sell
ang any medicinal preparation if the
label does not state what the ingredi-
ents are, with an analysis of each one.
The druggists have been advised to
ignore the order, and they are doing

ed that he would not enforce the law

meantime the druggists got busy, dis
cussed the matter at meeting and
decided to ignore the commissioner as

has done nothing along that line
What he will do remains to be seen,

fused to adopt that method of testing

EXPLOSION IS FATAL TO TWO

Grand Forks, N. D., Oct. 26.-One

ed. The dead:

jured.
The stove was located near the door
of the car and csc .pe was difficult.
Stansbury succeeded in getting out,
but Prontineaux evidently was over
come and persisted in his compart-
ment, which was separate from that
of Stansbury.
A Great Northern special passenger

the scene of the disaster and returned
with Stansbury, who was hurried to a
hospital here. When he was rescued
it was thought that he was the only
one in the car.

SUPPLIES FOR A DAYS FISHING.

The Question as to the Proportions of
Liquid ard Solid Refreshment.
Just what proportion the liquid
should bear to the solid refreshment
taken on a fishing trip" said an ang-
Ter, has always been and suppose al
ways will be moot question.
Men differ about this as they do
about SO many other things; some men
want more slid and less liquid and
some want less solid and more liquid.
What makes me think about this
just now is seeing two men that met
yesterday making for the waterfront
to go out for days fishing. One of
these men carried under his arm two
small loaves of bread, while between
them the two men carried a case con-
tanning two dozen bottles Of beer.
You see? These men evidently
were among those who think that the
proportion Of liquid refreshment car
ried should be large, but then you may
meet men who think just the other
way, including men who go so far that
way that all they would carry in the
shape of liz lids when they go fishing
would be jug of water.
80 men differ, and differ widely,
rs to this; but would state as mat
ter of observation, in which l think all
fishermen will agree, that the more
liquids carried, the less fish caught,
and the less liquids, the more fish.

As a matter Of fact, the provisions
of the law relating to the sale of drugs
is so badly tangled up with infinitions
of what shall constitute pure foods
that the clause providing for penalty
becomes imperative for the reason
that the measure does not make clear
just what violation consists of. The
druggists, as well as others, regard
the law merely in the light of fool
ish piece of legislation; in fact, a
bad copy of the national law, and they
propose to keep on ignoring it. A re-
port reached Aberdeen from Pierre
that when the commissioner puts his
threat into execution his first arrest
will be made in Aberdeen. In the
meantime the druggists are waiting.
