Parks, of Kosciusko and Marshall
counties, are discussing scene which
took place in the senator's private
room when he was called on by a
lobbist and asked to support certain
proposition before the legislature.
The senator refused and the lobbyist
asked if there was any inducement
that could be offered to make him
change his mind.
"You might as well have something
out of this thing" said the lobbyist.
There is a bunch around you over
there getting theirs and you ought to
fare as well as they"
The senator grew indignant over
this plain attempt to influence him
and made his feelings so plain that

BLIND TIGER" AMENDED.
Jail Sentence for Liars Who Pur-
chase Liquors.

The man who lies to a druggis,
in order to get drink of whisky may
be fined and imprisoned, according
to bill passed by the Senate Tues
day afternoon.
This provision was placed in the
Beardsley bill, which sought to mod
fly some of the stringent provisions
in the Ganiard blind tiger law con.
corning the sale of liquor by drug
sists. The friends of temperance leg
islation formulated an amendment to
the Beardsley bill, which was finally
accepted by the author and the drug,
gists, but which, the temperance ad-
vocates believe, will still catch the
drug store which really does saloon
business.
Senator E. E. Moore submitted the
amendment, he having been instru-
mental in bringing the warning fac.
tons together The bill allows a
druggist to sell liquor in quantities
less than a quart for medicinal, indus
trial or scientific purposes upon the
written (not printed or typewritten)
prescription of reputable physician.
or upon the written and signed appli-
cation of any other person who is
personally known to the druggist,
and whom he knows to be a person
not in the habit Of using Intoxicating
liquors as beverage. Such person
must state in his written application
that the liquor desired is to be used
for medicinal, scientific or education
al purposes and upon making the sale
the druggist must indorse in writing
on the application statement that,
in his opinion the liquor desired by
the patron is for the purpose stated.
Or liquor may be sold on the writ
ten application of superintendent of
a hospital or educational institution
where such liquor is used solely for
medicinal or educational purposes
Under no circumstances may liquor
be sold to be drank on the premises.
Persons must sign their true names
to the applications, which shall be
dated and kept on file year. There
shall be but one sale on each applica-
ton or prescription.
The penalty for the first offense by
the druggist shall be fine of from
$50 to 500, for the second ffense a
fine of from $50 to 5000 and the COM
pulsory revocation of his license by
the court.
A person making a false or mis-
leading statement to obtain liquor, or
using it as a beverage, may be fined
from SIS to $50 for the first ofense,
and on second conviction may be i'm
prisoned not more than thirty days.

In the minds of many people OF the
