A SUGGESTION FROM ME1es 6 Ct

A SUGGESTION FROM MEIGs 6 co.
 Out of the wonderful variety of weather at the disposal of the Wealth CT Bureau, it is now expected that the Chief of the Pleasant Day Brigade will send us pleasant Spr1ng-I1ke Easter, and will permit the March lion to depart without kicking up dis turbance. In that event the glad new raiment must be trotted out for the annual Easter" parade. Thus it falls that MeigS & Co.'S announcement ot their readiness to outfit man and boy will be found of special interest to ev- cry man. It is good to read therein, that such big variety of the new styles of clothes, hats, shoes, and fur niShings for men has been provided; for this is a big town with lots of peo- pie in it, and tastes are as varied as | ways have met the demands of all men, at Easter time and all the time, and their preparations, this season are on a larger scale than ever before, simply because the town is bigger and their business keeps pace with our l faction to every man who heedS MeigS & Go. $ invitation to see their big dis play, to buy his Easter outfit at a store where the customers satisfac- tion is made paramount in every tran sactiCn; for everything bought at Me1gs & Go. $ is covered by the firm $ broad guarantee to make good what ever proves otherwise, and to return the money for any unsatisfactory pur- chase. In consequence, the Easter outfit purchased at this store is bound to prove satisfactory, and in style vii put the proper shine on every mar who wears Meigs & Co.'S apparel.

DECIDED
SUPREME COURT ovERRULEsI
THE LINCOLN COUNTY IS
COURT.

CHARLESTON, Oct. by esterdayI
morning in the Supreme Court OF APP
peals Judge PoEerbarger handed down
a dissenting opinion In the case OF the
State vs.. Johnson. from Lincoln coun.
ty. The case involves the c. o. D.
liquor law and has attracted much at.
tention. The Supreme Court few
months ago held johnson not guilty
Of a violation OF the State laws. but
Judge Pofferbarger dissented and this
morning handed down his opinion.
Johnson lives at Hamlin, Lincoln
county, and package OF whiskey
was sent him by Stone, Cincinnati
liquor dealer, informing him he could
have same by paying to the agent OF
the express company at Hamlin GER
tain amount. Johnson did not have
the money and took two others, Mid.
XIII and Adkins. into partnership with
him and raised the liquor. the three
paying the agent the amo mt required
for the whiskey and the expressage on
the whiskey and the expressoge on the
same. The Supreme Court held that
this action by Johnson did not consti.
tute sale. The opinion OF Judge Poi.
fenbarger follows:
Believing the parties to the con-
tract OF sale, in the first instance,
were Stone and Johnson, and that
there was a subsequent sale by John
son TO Mldkiff and Adkins, and not
merely one sale by Stone to Johnson.
Niidl;in and Adkins. am constrained
to dissent from the opinion and de.
cision in this case. The whiskey
was Stones. He consigned and ship
ped It to Johnson. Whether he knew
Johnson Is immaterial. lie knew OF
him. In some way he had ascertained
that there was such man and he Of
fered to sell him the whlskey for two
dollars. He made no offer to either
Midkltf and Adkins. The offer was
accepted without any modification
and the whiskey delivered in execu'
ton OF the contract Of sale. Legally
viewed. as 1t must be. this effectuated
! a sale from Stone to Johnson, notwith.
standing the participation OF Midkil
and Adkins In the transaction. These
two strangers obtained part of the
whiskey. and. in legal contemplation
they obtained It from Johnson and not
from Stone. The legal test as to what

MIR. FOLKS POSITION.

In an address at Nashville the other
night Governor Folk of Missouri laid
down his platform. He would wipe
out the protective tariff in toto and
opposes the Bryan plan of government
ownership of railroads. Upon the lat
ter question Mr.. Folk says:
Government ownership, or the issu,
ance by the federal government of
charters to all railroad corporations
would be fraught with the gravest
dangers tc the liberties of the people
Let there be placed in the hands of a
president of the United States the
power to control every corporation in
the land and there would be lodged
in his hands a power that would sooa-
er or later destroy democratic govern
ment."
In the tariff matter Mr.. Folk and Mr..
Bryan areagreed, hence II makes udif.
ference to Wyoming which secures the
nomination upon the democratic ticket
Either would mean bankruptcy to a
state that depends to such n large de
gree upon protection. Wyoming can
not AFFORD to take any sort Of risk
with tampering with free trade.
So far as the government ownership
of railroads is concerned, there is lit
tie question as to the wisdom of the
Missouri governors position. Private
ownership properly regulated by the
government is the ideal policy.
