A GRAND SLUMP
IN THE Rum DOCKET.

Riddeford Record. oct 2. 1907.
The bottom dropped out Of the liquor
docket with a big crash at court yes
terday afternoon.
There was simply nothing to it after
an the unusual agitation and all the
unusual expense TO which the county
has been put
The disposition was quite general
among those under indictment to fight
their cases when the afternoon session
began and after the jury had acquitted
j. II. Seldel in less than a minute
this lighting determination became
more firm.
The evidence consisted in the Seidel
case of the testimony OF the deputies
that they had made a seizure there
and also testimony of the sale OF four
ounces OF brandy for sick child.
No arguments were made and the
Courts instructions and rulings were
so plain that there could hardly be
any doubt what the verdict would be.
Then the county attorney began TO
get ready to try Jere Crowley. He
found upon questioning his witnesses
that he had no evidence. He claimed
that they had gone back on their
testimony before the grand jury but
the Court held that grand jury testi-
mony was secret and that the only
question was what the witnesses
would testify in court
A recess was taken during which
the county attorney consulted with
the Court and when the session was
resumed he explained that his wit
nesses would not testify to what they
had been expected TO and that he
should be compelled TO mol pross many
Of the cases.
case after case. the the Crowley
case was called up and mol pressed,
considerable time being required TO go
through the list and in the end there
was not much left of the long list OF
nuisance indictments that had been re-
turned by the grand jury and which
had caused so much anxiety and dis
cussion.f

IumbIes With Fruit.

Lemon and rose water together are
especially nice for rich jumbles, to eat
with fruit. For this purpose a fine,
plain white cake or lady cake is also
suitable. It is a mistake to serve
chocolate cake and little cakes with
chocolate icing. with everything OF de-
cided flavor. This is right with blame

THE DRuMMER's OPINION.

Thinks Of the Prohibition Law
in Kansas.

Kansas City Globe. oct. 1.
prohibition In Kansas Is a farce,
Notwithstanding Governor Hoch's re-
cent declaration that the state is free
from the evils OF the saloon" said
Mike Fey, a travelling man Of To-
peka. TO a Post reporter
There is not a town OF city OF any
size in the state where one has to
search long in order to get a drink"
he continued. In Topeka there are
eighty or more drug stores and there
is not one of them that does not sell
drinks, and they are not soda water
or soft beverages. IL a man Is not
known, the druggists require him TO
sign up and then he can get all he
wants. That Is. he signs any name
he may desire to form Of certificate
which states he is suffering from
some ailment and as the law permits
the drug stores to sell liquor for
medical purposes, this comes within
the statute.
Every man in Kansas has the grip
or a cold at some time, If one Is to
Judge from the amount Of certificates
that are signed. The drug stores do not
confine their sales to whisky, but they
sell beer, and about the only thing one
can't get is a fancy mixed drink. In
some places saloons have been rum
ming with their doors wide open, sell
ing per cent stun (as they call it),
which is supposed to be non-intoNicat-
ing. but it is the real thing I venture
TO say that there has been as much
liquor sold in Kansas since the prohi-
tion law went into effect as there ever
was before. II not more. Washington
