A BILL TO SUPPRESS DRCG-
 GTSTS.

GISTS.
 The Arkansas Democrat declares that there is a bill pending in the Legislature to suppress the drug gists of Arkansas.
 This may seem a remarkable statement. but that would be the effect of the passage of the Patter- son-Blaak Patent Medicine Bill, the title of which should be amended to read
 "A bill for an act to be entitled An act to suppress Arkansas drug gists and encourage the outside manufacture of proprietary medi- cines.''
 The spirit of anti-legislation which has possessed the whole coun- try has not threatened greater ln- jury to a legitimate business than this Patterson-Blacl bill, for if it were passed it would practically put every iobbing druggist in the State out of business, and would flood the State with nostrums that would be valueless if not harmful.
 The only material difference be- tween the Patterson-B bill and the National Pure Food law, which is acceptable to the pharmacists or the country, is that the National law requires that only the list of harmful ingredients, with their pro- portion, be printed upon the labels of alcoholics, narcotics, and habit forming drugs, while the Patterson bill requires that complete list o1 ALL the ingredients, but not the formula or the proportions, be printed upon the label as well.
 Such law would place the Ar kansas manufacturing pharmacists at the mercy of interruptions char latans who might secure the print ed lists of any reputable manufac- turer. duplicate the label, obtain small quantity of such ingredients and mix it with other material, say a pint in barrel-full, and without having the proportions given, they could in this way rob the people through fraud and misrepresenta- tion. while complying with the let ter of the law.
 The reputable manufacturer, hay ing an established business to main tain. would have no recourse against such sharks.
 Acting under the Federal law. the outside manufacturer could ship his product in the original package into the State. by mail, ex- press or freight, and sell it in such quantities that it would drive the local druggists out of business. for the iobbers could not buy these medicines and sell them, for they would thereby violate the State law, neither could they sell their own product of similar character unless they printed the full list ot ingredients upon the wrappers oi the bottles or packages.
 The National law fully covers the case. and if the States are to adopt laws placing further restrictions up- on the manufacturers, the result will mean only confusion and loop holes for the exercise of fraud.
 What possible good purpose can he served by compelling the manu- lecturers to print upon their labels inc names of various drugs known to be absolutely harmless, when It is already provided by the natlonal law that the labels must give not only the names but the proportions of the drugs that are harmful or habit forming?
 It is just that the people be pro- tected from the evil effects of noX- ions and de1eterious drugs that 1n-

TWO RUNAWAY BOYS.
Chief Flynn Catches Pair Of Runaway
Omaha Youths.

Two runaway boys from Omaha
were caught in Norfolk and turned
back to Omaha. Friday noon the lads
were placed on the train for Omaha
by Chief Of Police John F. Flynn.
The boys were:
James Passick, age thirteen, son of
Charles Passick, a butcher at 1885
Vinton street, Omaha.
Lawrence Solomon, age fourteen, son
OF DR.. John ]. Solomon, at Omaha,
physician and druggist at 1887 Vinton
street, Omaha.
The boys boarded a Northwestern
train out Of Omaha at 3 o'clock Thurs
day afternoon. Inside of seven hours
they were under police charge In Nor
folk and before twenty-four hours had
passed they were nearing Omaha to
meet their fathers waiting at the union
depot.

James.

the wrong line"
Lawrence and James both attend
school and are both bright lads. They
didn't come west to see the Indians
and the sights they were looking for
were in Denver and not on the prai-
ries. Lawrence had 35 cents left when
he got to Norfolk but James still stood

hungry, but where they did justice

little too tame for young Roose-

were declined, as arrangements had

Contests In Eighth.
In the Eighth district A. r. Olson
of Wisner was pitted against Pearson
of Ponca in the primary for republican
nomination, and returns indicate that
Olson was nominated without doubt.
On the democratic side, Judge Graves
was opposed by Moody of West Point
and Whitney of Randolph, but Judge
Graves has been renominated without
question.
Figures From Fifteenth.
In the Fifteenth two judges are to
be elected and consequently two NOM

the republican side incomplete returns
from Brown, Rock and Boyd counties
give these results: Scattergood 1872,
Douglas 9S4, Alder 267, Morgan 226,

the totals.

William H. Westover had no opposi-
ton for the fusion nomination. They

BLACKMAN HAS LAST WORD.
Madison Paper Contains More Com
ment on Boche Case,

Editor Blackman OF the Madison
Chronicle this week has the last word
to say on the Boche controversy which
for several weeks past has occupied
much space in the Madison press.
This week Editor Blackman issues q
signed statement in his paper replying
to an open letter to Blackman written
by Senator Allen in the Madison Star
Mail. No reference to the matter ap-
pears in the Friday issue of the Star
Mail, which has apparently dropped
the controversy.
In defending the position that he had
taken in the matter Mr.. Blackman
says in part in this weeks Chronicle:
When a private citizen commits a
crime he becomes at once a public
enemy. II is not always necessary that
he be proven guilty in court before
being condemned by public opinion.
The very nature of some crimes calls
forth immediate bursts of condemna-
ton on all sides. 1t is a notorious fact
that prison doors have opened in times
past and criminals have walked forth
to prey upon society. Money is the
power that makes these things pos.
sible. The poor man is allowed TO
langush in Jail while the man, no less
a criminal, with money is turned
loose.
