SALOON MEN HIT
May Have to Destroy All Bit
tiers and Cordial Now
In Stock.
MUST LABEL ALL BOTTLES.

Those who have been in the habit of
buying their good Old-fashioned bit
tiers and blackberry cordials at the sa-
looms are likely to meet with disap-
pOintment when the new drug law
goes into effect. This law requires
that all drugs containing alcohol and
other similar elements shall bear lab
els showing the proportion of the in
hibited ingredients. II. r. Barnard,
state food and drug commissioner,
says this law will apply to all drugs,
whether they be sold in drug stores
and saloons and that the law will be
enforced against saloon men just the
same as it is against druggists.
Mr.. Barnard says the new law APP
plies to malt extracts, blackberry cor
. dials and stomach bitters, all of which
are sold extensively by saloon men.
When "bitters' is described on the
label attached to the bottle or on any
advertising material accompanying
the package as possessing any medici-
nal or tonic properties or if, in fact,
it does possess such value, it must,
of necessity. be Classed as a drug pro-
| duct and must according to the new
law bear a statement showing the pro-
portion of alcohol. Nearly all the bot
! ties which have been collected by Mr..
Barnard bear labels which make ref
erence to the medicinal qualities of
the contents.

KRONES THROWN
OUT Of LEAGUE
Serious SquabbIe Marked the
City League Game Last
Night at Coliseum.
REFEREES RULING DID IT.
RULED ONE OF THE kRONES
FROM THE FLOOR AND WHEN
THEIR CAPTAIN INTERCEDED,
HE TOO WAS VICTIM OF WRATH
(By Gaston.)

Previous to the New Castlo-Rich-
mond polo game last evening. the
Krones and Crescents mixed up in n
game that nearly caused the disruption
of the city league, as when it ended.
the Krones were ruled out. The
game started fast. but the tailors' de-
fcnse was too poor to stop the speedy
Crescent rushers.
The Crescents scored first and the
krones then scored their only mark
er, while the CrescentS piled up d score
of II to |. In the third period referee
Williams ruled Swain off the floor
and Manager Lancaster objected, as he
had no utility defense man. Williams
then ruled the Krones' snort cage guar
dian from the floor and the Katy
Harolds" retired to their dressing
room and refused to finish the game.
After the krones refused to return
to the floor the referee, amid many
Kisses and cat calls, announced that
the Krones were ruled from the league.
Nj. G. Henley stated this morning that
the krones had been rein3tated.
Marine. who was the one SO roughly
handled by Swain. said that the
Krones' half back was rough. but was
not dirty. and that he requested Viii
liams not to evict Swain from the
floor. Most of the players and fans
present agree with the captain of the
Crescents. who is undeniably Gquare.
The affair is to be deplored, as all such
actions tend to hurt the sport. although
it would be difficult to put the blame
on any one person.
Marine was the "WhOle show" and
he played circles around the Krones
defense Marine is without doubt one
of the best polo players in the city.
The defense of the krOneS was of the
poorest order. Ryan and Swain re-
peatedly leaving Lancaster alone ut the
mercy of the CrCScCntS' ruShcrS. Mey-
ers and Reid. on the rush line of the

In spite Of a poverty which limits

At Matayar, village in the prov

of the upper Indus valley. a friendly
villager invited Mr.. Huntington TO dive

eight or ten feet of snow into a one

Of 10, 500 feet.
Although it was April II, the snow.

shoveled off the fiat roofs it formed

wind and making them the favorite
sitting room at that season and even
in winter. for the sunshine is always
warm in that dry. cloudIess climate

Then the disclosure was made that
the funds of the bank had been mis-
appropriated. However. little uneasi-
ness was manifested by the depositors

however, that Wyatt had sold all OF
his property in this state and had re
moved TO California, where his means
had been put beyond the reach of the
creditors of the Commercial bank.
Wyatt's Withdrawal Kept Secret.
That there was collision between
Wyatt and his partners in the bank
was never established, but it was
shown that Wyatt disposed of his in
tercst in the bank TO his partners
months before he left for California:
that he conveyed the bank building
by warranty deed to his partners on
June so. 1904, and that this deed was
%, 1905. which fact was regarded as
conclusive that Wyatt and his part
ners had agreed to keep his withdraw

bank. The deed was not filed for
record until three months after Bow
