AFTER HOPE DRUGGIST.
State Board Of Health Issues Warrant
Against Him.

Topeka, March 18.-The day oil
probation for the druggists who per-
sist in violating the state pure food
law is over and from now on prose-
cutions will be brought by the State
Board of Health by the wholesale.
Affldavits are now being sent out to
the county attorneys by the board
against twenty druggists and these
are to be followed by others. They
are charged with misbranding ad-
ulterating medicines and liquors.
Their names are withheld until the
papers have been filed and the drug
gists are arrested.
The druggists against whom aft
davits are made out are located in
the following cities and towns Of the
state: Wichita, Kansas City, Kan,
Hope, Alma, Alta Vista, st. George,
Manhattan, Spring Hill, Natoma.
1t is charged in some of these
cases that the druggists in mixing
their own medicines failed to bring
them up to the standards fixed by
the State Board of Health. In other
cases the charge is that Of mis-
branding liquors or for selling liq-
uor for medicine and failing to label
1t showing the alcoholic contents, The
law requires that where medicine
containing alcohol is sold the label
shall show the exact percentage Of
alcohol contained.
In the cases in which affidavits
have been issued the drugs and liq-
uors were purchased in the open mar
ket by inspectors for the Board Of
health and were analysed by the
state chemists. AS soon as the re-
suit of the analyses became known
the affidavits were sworn to by the
inspectors securing the samples and
the afidavits are now being sent to
the county attorneys with instruc-
lions to start prosecutions at once.
Up to the present time the drug
gists have been simply warned when
It was found that they were violating
he provisions of the pure food and
irug law. Some of them have paid
attention to the warnings and no fur
her complaint has been made re-
yarding them. Others have paid abb
olutely no attention and these are
he druggists for whom trouble is
low scheduled.

AN ARDENT wooER.
Boy From Navy Causes Trouble in
East Abilene.

A naughty sailor boy in a navy
uniform came into town Tuesday
and proceeded to make himself too
numerous to mention. Happening to
meet a young lady whom he had
seen several years before he insisted
on being her best young man and
proposed on the spot in the pres
ence of the whole family. The young
lady not being accustomed to such
an ardent wooing politely told him
to go about his business but he called
again In the evening and 1t took the
combined efforts of the whole family
to persuade him to leave. Even
when told that we had officers In
town he declared that be belonged
to the U. S. navy and nobody could
touch him and in defense of said
loung lady he would fight every cop

appreciated in an ordinary town like
Abilene, he was at last shown to the
door and the marshal was notified
and asked to keep an eye on him, as
e had spent the evening entertain
.ng the family with stories of his
badness. Half an hour later the
night watch called the family up and
told them he had made him show up
his papers which proved to be a dis
honorable discharge from the navy.
He spent the night at the U. P.
lepot. Next morning he called up by

A Terrible Accident.

Witten-Louis Irons, homesteader
living about four miles west Of this
place, was perhaps fatally injured az
the result of an accident. He was
driving four horses hitched to q
pillow and had the lines over his shout
ders, when the clevis pin broke. Not
being able to release himself. he was
dragged over the pillow handle upon a
dull piece of iron that projected two
or three inches above the pillow beam.
The projecting iron tore a large hole
In his chest, crushing through his
breast bone and exposing the lungs.
In this condition the unfortunate man
made his way alone to his home, some
little distance from the scene of the
accident. He is young married man.

WAR VETERAN STRICKEN.
Nelson Gardner, Of Aberdeen, s. D.
Critically III Of Paralysis.

Aberdeen.-Nelson Gardner, vet.
eran Of the civil war, during which he
was a member of the Nineteenth Wis
consin, was stricken with paralysis
and his condition Is critical. He set
tied on a farm near Aberdeen In 1881,
and later moved to the city.
Gardner, who was only 10 when the
war closed, was noted for his nerve
and daring. At one time when the
confederates were in some tall grass
which concealed their movements, the
commander called for a volunteer to
set fire to the grass and Gardner re-
sponded. Swimming the stream with
some matches wrapped in oiled paper
in his mouth, he succeeded in setting
fire to the grass, routing the enemy
from it's position, and then swan back
under a rain of bullets.

como AFTER WELLs.FARGo.
state Railroad Commission Declares
Corporation Must Obey Law.

Mitchell.-The hearing before the
state railroad commission Of A. J.
Ludlow, the traffic manager OF the
Wells-Fargo Express Company. was
held, the company being called upon
to show why 1t should not comply
with the state laws adopted by the
last legislature, requiring 1t to reduce
its rates 20 per cent.
Ludlow assumed the position that
on Jan. / the Wells-Fargo Company
was not doing business in the state
and had no rates to be adjusted un'
der the state law.
Upholds Higher Rate.
He said that when his company
came into the state 1t made Its rates
on the mileage basis, about three
times as high as the first class freight
rates Of the railroads in the state.
He was much opposed to making the
minimum rate Of any package less
than SO cents, though the other COM
panies' minimum rate was 80 cents.
The result of the conference was a
declaration on the part Of the com
mission that, while the present sched-
ule Of express rates established by the
other companies doing business In the
state, aside from the Wells-Fargo,
were apparently in line with the law
passed by the legislature, that COM
pany stood out against compliance
with the law.
Grabs Big Stick.
In order to force that company to
adopt the same schedules in force on
other lines it might be necessary for
the railroad commission to make up
and establish tariff covering express
rates based on distance. IL so, II
might mean some slight changes on
the part of the other companies. II
the Wells-Fargo Company agrees to
putting its rates under the 1909 law
the matter will be dropped.
Commissioner Ness, on behalf OF the
Commercial Club, made statement to
the commission asking for joint
freight rates from Mitchell to the
Black Hills country, and also requir-
Ing the Milwaukee and the Omaha
roads to connect their tracks in this
city.
A hearing Of this matter will be
held here on Aug "a.
