MUST HAVE
A PRESCR|PT|
Drug Stores Can Hereafter
Sell Liquor Only When
Ordered by Physicians.
NEW LAW SAYS SO
Druggists Welcome Change but Doc
tors not SO Well Pleased TO Have
Load Shifted TO Them.

The Portland Observer gives the 10.
cal situation there, relative To the new
liquor law now in effect and the same
applies TO conditions in this city, rs
follows:
Local druggists are elated over the
passage of the bill whereby they are
prohibited from selling liquor except
upon doctors prescription. The doc
tors do not feel SO good over the new
law, because it shifts the annoyance
and responsibility from the drug store
TO them.
The call for whisley in local stores
has been lighter than had been antici-
pated and still the druggists have been
forced to turn down many persons who
have been friendly TO them for many
years and in some instances have made
enemies by their effort to live up To
the law.
Under the new law no person can eX-
pect TO get liquor mt drug store with
out the sanction of his physician for
the druggist must not only make
record of every sale upon prescription
but he must report his purchases as
well. AT the end of certain time his
sales and purchases must tally.
The house has also passed "A general
liquor law to take the place of the old
and this prohibits the druggist from
selling beer or other malt liquor with
the exception of malt extracts. The |
local drug stores do not handle beer, so |
that the new law will make no differ |
ence to them. In many local option
however, the drug stores have
lone profitable business in beer.
Many persons do not consider The
law any improvement
over the old conditions. Previously
he druggist was forced to take his
own chances in selling whiskey. Now
.he responsibility all rests with the
physician and it would be an easy
natter to evade the law if the doctor
md pharmacist were of one mind.

A FAREWELL RECEPTION
Was Given Rev. and Mrs. G. +. Max
field Tuesday Evening.

Although Rev. G.. f.. MaXfield will
not leave Belding for the west for two
4 or three weeks, his church people
thought it the proper thing TO give him
and his family farewell, and the re-
ception was held in the Baptist church
Tuesday evening.
There was large gathering present
and a very social time was enjoyed at
the close of the program which was an
impromptu and very pleasant affair,
refreshments of coffee and doughnuts
were served in the dining room.
f. +. Chapple had charge of the pro-
gram and called upon Rev. Q. w.
Winter of the Church of Christ, Rev.
Geo. w. Maxwell of the Methodist
church, Rev. j. Frank Jackson of the
Episcopal church and Rev. f. Collins
of the Congregational church, each of
whom made speech and said appro-
pirate words fitting the occasion. Mrs.
l.. M. Berry sang couple of solos very
sweetly and Mrs. VIM. Wilson, in be-
half of the society, presented Mr.. and
Mrs. Maxfe with set of sterling
silver spoons in one of her neat and
characteristic speeches.
Mr.. Maxfield turned them over to
Mrs. Maxfield who made fine little |
speech of thanks. Mr.. MaXfield was
witty as usual in his closing remarks
facetiously remarking that he wished
all the other pastors as they had said
about him. He hoped that when he
is on his new field he should hear good
reports from the Belding churches and
the young converts. There
will always be. a warm spot in their
hearts for Belding.

Mr.. and Mrs. Bingley r. Fales

news that Mr.. Fales' improved gener-
al health after two months rest and
treatment in the Oak Grove sanitarium

alton there to return to Detroit and

Chicken-Pie Supper Success

The chicken-pie supper given by the

until long after the supper hour. The
ladies of the society cleaned up about
$115. Rev. FIR. Zindler desires TO

+. r. Lawrence Retires From The
Firm of F. r. Lawrence & Co.
Another business change has taken
place in our city. This time the scene
of the change is located on Bridge ST.
f. Il. Lawrence who for some time past
has been connected with the firm of f..
X. Lawrence q Co. has accepted posi-
tion as assistant state manager for the
Cable Piano Co. and will sever his con-
nection with the firm in the near future,
and go TO Detroit where he will make
his headquarters. The firm have in
augurated price cutting sale for the
purpose of reducing the stock and the
people of Belding will have an oppor-
tunity of buying musical merchandise
at greatly reduced prices for limited
time.
Mr.. Pond, whose experience in the
music business has been limited to a
few months, believes that there is a
field in this city for a music store and
will continue the business at the old
stand. a press of personal business
may make it necessary for him To be
out of the store a portion of the time
for a few weeks but he will always be
ready to devote portion of his time TO
any one who may desire anything
along this line of strictly dependable
goods which this store has carried since
its establishment some months ago.

ZIMMERMAN BAND
is WELL RECEIVED
Popular Selections as En-
cores Prove More Pleasing
Than Standard Numbers.

Under The dictatorship OF John s M.
Zimmerman, the United S states Sol
diers' Home Band. gave a delightful
concert at the Columbia Theater last
evening before a large and appreciative
audience Miss B1inna Heinrichs, VIC.
linist, was the soloist of the evening.
The program arranged by Mr.. thinner
mann. while a trifie too long. consisted
mainly of classical compositions. II
showed to advantage the various sec
tons of the band, and the careful train
ing which they undergo at tie hands OF
their director. The band. in ilSfrumen
tation, is well balanced, with the ex-
ception that he woodwind Instruments
have slight lead over the brass. IN o
majority of the numbers the interpreta-
ton of the theme was excellent, but
the attack in numerous Instances was
not as perfect as it might have been.
noticeably in the solo comets.
For encore numbers Mr.. Zimmerman
selected those Of the popular variety
and the applause following each owe
Whelmed that given the set number on
-he program. Among the encores were
BY the Light Of the SilVery Moon"
The American Patrol" and The Glow
Worm"
Miss Heinrichs violin playing was a
treat Borowskfs Alteration and
NacheZ's Gypsy Dance" were well re-
ceived. In the latter number she ex-
celled and responded 10 a hearty en-
core.

CAPT. SCHNEIDER
ASKED TO EXPLAIN
Sylvester Inquiries
Why His Men Are Not
Better Informed.

Capt. Henry Schneider, Of the Sew
enth police precinct. may be called upon
TO explain why the sergeants and pa
trolmen under his command were not
more familiar with the police manuel
on the day Of the Georgetown Univer-
sity of Virginia football game and thus
have prevented the unfortunate situa-
ton which has resulted in the prepare
ton Of charges against Sergeant Nc
Quade and Policeman Lear.
Major Sylvester stated this morning
that the trials Of the two policemen,
who have been cited to appear before
the trial board, will probably not be
had until after the holidays. He said
unfamiliarity with elementary princi-
pies of the Police DepaAment rules Of
government was the principal subject 10
be gone into.
He regards It as surprising that
two men with records as good as
Sergeant McQuade and Policeman
Lear should have shown any such
lamentable ignorance as they are
charged with and intimated that If
this is the true condition Captain
the pains to see that HIS men were
better informed.
When asked II Captain Schneider
would be subject to charges before
the trial board, Major Sylvester said
he had asked the precinct COM
mander TO answer a few questions
regarding the conduct OF affairs of
the precinct, but no charges had
been fled against him.

FINANCIAL FIGHT
NOW ENTERTAINING
Feud Between Aldrich and
MacVeagh Is Inter
eSting.
BOND LEGISLATION
MAY BE PREVENTED
Senator Is Credited With DISPOSE
ton TO Oppose Certain
Laws.
By JOHN sNURE.

The feud between Senator Aldrich an6
Secretary OF the Treasury MacVeagh
grows more and more entertaining.
Also, the possibilities of It become
more and more worth consideration. Be
fore it is over. it may take on conse-
Quences Of a serious enough nature for
the country.
Phases of this failure Of the head OF
the Treasury Department and the head
of the Senate to get along together in
peace harmony. and brotherly love have
been much comm upon. For in
stance, II was well understood when the
tariff was under consideration that Sen
ator Aldrich had small use for the opin-
Ions Of Secretary MacVeagh Mr. Mac
Veagh has never subscribed to the doc
trine Of an ultra high tariff and, doubt
less, never will. He was brought up in
the Democratic school, and he has deep
sympathy with the idea Of revising the
tariff in reasonable fashion. This man
ner Of looking on the tariff alone was
sufficient to make him persona no grata
with the Senate leaders. And it did.
Then along came the Boston speech. in
which Mr.. MacVeagh took the ground
the Republican party had turned its
face away from higher and higher tar
lis, ana had set its countenance in the
erection OF lower schedules This an
Sered Senator Aldrich and his subordi-
mates IN Senate authority. especially the
republican members Of the Finance
committee. Now, they rarely meet. so
goes Capitol gossip. but there are some
harsh things said about the views OF the
secretary Of the Treasury.

And the nominations Of Assistant Sec
retaTy Curtis and of Internal Revenue
commissioner Cabell have been held ND.
De sure, they viii be confirmed even
'uaiiy' but the delay is calculated TO

But furtber than this, Senator Aldrich
10 CTeulled with disposition to prevent
certain legislation which Secretary Mac
Neash wants with respect TO bonds. so
as TO equalize the tax on bank circ,la-
ton secured by bonds. In his annual
report Mr.. MacVeagh put the matter
this way:
! respectfully recommend that the
