NEW EXPRESS RULE
CUTS OUT BOOZE 0.
NEW RULE GOES INTO EFFECT JANUARY
FIRST AND WILL MAKE IT HARD
TO GET LIQUOR BY Ex.

" AA~AOs~ASN
In the way Of those who would amel-
iorate the phennial drouth of things
whicn cheer and also inebriates in
the 'dry" districts of the country.
On Jan. list next there will 60 into
effect some regulations on the bust
ness of the express companies which
will render harder than ever the task
of obtaining liquor thru their aid.
y Heretofore it has been customary
for some wholesale liquor houses,
especially those which make a spec
ialty of trade in the ''dry" regions,
to use the express companies as ware
houses, to all intents and purposes.
In some of the towns in North Dakota
it has been customary for the ex-
press agent to receive consignments
of jugs o1boxes consisting of dozens
of individual packages.
81 In some cases they have been sim
ply designated by numbers and in
other cases have been consigned to
John JONES'" "John Doe" or other
fictitious persons. and the agent has
been compelled to hold them until
called for. a'5atE tt@s
The house which sends the goods
usually has a representative in the
stown who is empowered to give writ
tJh orders for the merchandise 50
that when thirsty and bibulously in
clined resident wants -four full
quarts" he seeks out the agent for
the liquor house and gets an order
for the amount Of goods he wishes.
The express agents collects the charg-
es and RENTS the proper amount to
the Wholesale house. making him, in
effect, an agent of the liquor house.
A federal regulation which goes in
to effect Jan. prohibits express com
panies from taking interstate ship
ments of liquors unless the customer
has an account with the house; in
other words 1t does away with the G.
O. D. business and it is also provided
that the goods must be consigned to
a bona fide purchaser.
Representatives of the express COM
panies say that the companies are
pleased with the new ruling, as it re-
lieves them not only Of much extra
work, but also Of an undesirable class
of business, which they have hereto
fore, as common carriers, been COM
PEELED to accept.
Another feature of the matter which
will apply with special reference to
North Dakota is ruling of the pure
flbd law in force in this state, which
provides that all packages containing
intoxicating liquors shall be so mark
ed on the outside, and shall also de-
scribe the contents and the amount.
Suck packages as are not properly
marked are liable to confiscation. -

RANKS ARE FAST THINNING
Death Caused 1882 Names to Be
Dropped From the Pension Rolls
During Past Year.

Washington. Oct 1S.-Death's invasion
of the fast-thinning ranks of the war
veterans caused As ,9t2 names to be taken
from the pension rolls Of the United States
last year. OF this number 1881 were SUR
vivors of the Civil war. The total loss
to the pension rolls from all causes was
81 ,5S1.
In striking contrast to these figures,
comprised in the annual report of Nespa-
sian Warner, commissioner of pensions, is
the statement that the government paid
out in pensions in the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1909, 1851 800, 7O3, which the com
missioner declares is the largest amount
ever disbursed for pensions in one year.
Summarized, the report shows these
facts:
Number of pensioners at the beginning
of the year, 951 .6S7; number of new PEN
siOners added to the roll, 46,OSS: pension
ers on roll at the close of the year, 94e, 1874,
a net decrease of 5, 49,
