Hughes Anti Bucket Shop BID Be-
comes a Law.
NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-Under the
operation Of the Cassidy law, passed
by the last legislature and signed by
Governor Hughes, bucket shops will
become illegal institutions in New
York after today. 1t is alleged that
leading operators of bucket shops in
this city have planned to evadei the
provisions of the law by conducting
business through the medium of an
apparently legitimate exchange.
Under the Cassidy law a bucket
shop is declared to be any building or
any room, apartment, booth. Office or
store therein, or any other place
where any contract prohibited by the
statute is made or offered to be made.
The prohibition extends to the max
ing of contracts for the purchase or
sale Of stocks, bonds, securies or
commodities, wherein both the par
ties thereto intend that such contract
shall or may be terminated, closed or
settled according to or upon the basis
of the public market quotations. or
prices made on any board of trade or
exchange upon which such commodi-
ties or securities are dealt in, and
without intending a bona fide pur-
chase or sale Of the same"
Similar provisions are made to pro-
hibit other phases of the bucket shop
gambling business.
The penalty for violating any of
these provisions is a fine of not more
than $4,000 for each offense, if the Of
fender be a corporation, and in all
other cases a fine of not more than
$1,000 or Imprisonment for not more
than five years or BOTH To exhibit
quotations Of prices Of securities with
intent to make a contract prohibited
by an act is declared to be felony.

in administration of government. par
ticularly in the army and navy. He
said:
1.-The imperialistic policy for which
the republicans are responsible is the
only excuse for the enormous drain
upon taxpayers. The reason they are
more extravagant than democrats is
because their leaders are more inti-
mately associated with taxeaters than
tax payers. The republican leaders
taught the doctrine that taxation is an
unalloyed good. They tried to culti-
vate public opinion to support the
idea that tariff taxes, even when not
needed for revenue, are a direct ad-
vantage to the protected interests"

Decatur, Oct. 19.-(Speeial.)--A re- port which reached this city last night to the effect that a race riot was brew ing at Hartselle. fourteen miles below Decatur. on the Louisville and Nash vile Railroad, caused some excitement in the Decaturs.

 The trouble was brought about by the arrest of three negroes Sunday at Danville following the serious wound ing of Policeman Brown by two negro hoboes in Hartselle Saturday night.
 About o'clock Saturday night Po- iiceman Brown attempted to arrest two strange negroes who were stealing a ride on a freight train. He discovered the negroes as the train stepped in Hartselie and ordered them to get off the train. Instead of surrendinrg the negroes opened fire on Policeman Brown with revoIvers and Mir. Brown was seriously wounded. but 1t Is thought that he will recover. The ne- groes fled.
 The shooting occurred in the dark and Policeman Brown was unable to give a description of the negroes but remembered something of the clothing which they were wearing.
 Sunday three negroes. dressed some what after the manner of the negroes who shot Policeman Brown, were ar rested in Danville and placed in the town jail at Hartselle. Negroes of the neighborhood said these negroes were not guilty and 1t was reported that they. were going to liberate them.

 It means that a permanent invita- ton is extended to anyone to come and verify any and all statements made in the advertisements of Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
 Is it a purely vegetable compound made from roots and herbs - with out drugs? :?
 Come and Sec.
 Do the women of America continu. ally use as much of it as we are told Come and See.
