And the woman. too. Helena Ivan

together all those ten years, with Lady
Creech as a most complaisant and
discreet chaperon-but that couldn't
be, for, whatever else Lady Creech
might be, worldly wise and naughty,
she was at least an English gentlewo-
man at heart, and she would have
starved rather than connive at a scan

No, Daniel reflected, he would have
to leave Lady Creech out of the mess,
even though she was a bitter old dame.

OPPOSED BY DRUG MEN.
Food Commissioner Finds No Support
Amonq Druggists for His Measure.

Pierre, S. D., Jan. 20.-Probably the
biggest row of the present session of
the legislature will take place between
the druggists of South Dakota and A.
II. Wheaton, dairy and food commits
sioner. There is absolutely no chance
for any compromise, both sides declar-
ing they will stand fast.
The state supreme court having de-
clarcd unconstitutional the pure drug
act passed two years ago, on account
of confusion in verbiage, it is recog-
nized that a new act must be passed
at this time.
The measure championed by the
druggists is known as house bill No. 2,
introduced by Representative Sasse,
president of their state association. 1t
is a copy of the national drug act, now
in force in thirty states, with a single
change, placing the enforcement in the
hands of the state board of pharmacy,
as was done in Iowa.
The bill supported by Commissioner
Wheaton is kn6wn as house bill No. sc,
and was introduced by Representative
Simonson of BrOokings. 1t requires the
label of all proprietary medicines to
give the common name of each and
every ingredient or, if it is not desired
to publish this statement, to submit
the preparation to examination by a
referee board consisting of the presi.
dent of the state board of health, the
president of the state board of phar'
macy and the state chemist. Under
the druggists bill, as in the national
law, it is provided simply that al
drugs shall be of standard purity and
that any intoXicant or habit-forming
drug must be given on the label.

krantz Led Horses Back.

Hats off again 20 the anti-horse thief
association Tuesday afternoon the
association grabbed some new laurels,
pucking them from under the nose
of the Norfolk police force.
When word was brought to Norfolk
that the two horses stolen during the
night from the barn of the Standard
OH company had been found by Henry
Raasch at his farm two miles north
of the sugar factory, Chief Peters
hired a team and rushed out to gather
in the horses and any possible reward.
The chief drove.
Twenty minutes later John Krantz,
one of the chief officers of the anti
horse thief association, decided that
he would go out and bring the horses
in. He took an auto and the shortest
road. The chief took the long road,
When Chief Peters drove up to the
Raasch farm he saw Krantz leading
the two horses out of the barn. Up
to this time Krantz did not know that
Peters was in the race.
Were Used by the Robbers.
Little doubt exists here but that
the horses were used by the Hadar
bank robbers. AS the horses had not
been hitched up but merely bridled
the theory is that the robbers rode to
the bank. robbed it and rode their
horses as far as they dared or cared
to. Before Raasch found the horses
they had been seen near a farm still
farther north.

city on the road leading directly NORTH

WHO WANTS TO BE A CAMEL?
Dry Towns After Convention, Where
at Fremont Speaks of Camels.

Who wants to be a camel?
Without the slightest attempt to dis
parage the ambition of any Nebraska
days between drinks, it nevertheless
seems certain that the convention of
firemen now meeting in Norfolk will
have to count noses on the old ques-
ton as to just who would like to be
a camel.
Fremont firemen thought they had
the 1910 convention. But they find
York coming with claims. Now York
hasn't been more than damp" for
years. Fremont, wet" asks, "Who
wants to be a camel?"
Then Alliance is in the convention
game. Alliance went dry" at the
last election and thereby lost an i'm
portant state convention to Norfolk
Alliance tiremen can point to spring
election intervening but the camel is,
sue will not down.
Here is what the Fremont Tribune
said last night:
Fremont firemen have been vainly
trying to stall" an attempt to draw
line on the wet and dry" ques-
ton in the fight for the coming CON
vention in 1910 of the volunteer fire
men of Nebraska. Outside firemen
however, have grown persistent and
it is likely that the combat will be
pulled off and that anti-prohibition
talk will be used for Fremont's bene-
fit when the subject comes before the
Norfolk meeting. Fremont did not
know till the latter part of last week
that it would have a competitor in
the field for the 1910 gathering. But
! it developed that York had been
quietly figuring on it and that York
has at least one claim that should
| give ii an advantage. That relates tC
| the convention having not met there
in recent years.
York has asked Fremont to with
draw from the contest, but it re
mains a question whether it can con
| sistently do that now. Firemen over
the state who have pledged Fremon
their support are urging the Fremon
delegates to stay in the race by al
means now that York, a dry" town
is likely to get it, Chief Harry Hau

dent of the state association, started

Farmer Dead Under Macon.

Ainsworth, Neb., Jan. 19.-Special
to The News: The body of Edward
Stokes was found under an over
turned wagon box some time Sunday,
about three-quarters of a mile off the
main road. He was a farmer and
had been in town Saturday with a
load of hogs and had spent the after
noon and evening drinking heavily. He
was started home some time in the
evening. He was driving four horses
and in a three-boX wagon box. He
evidently lost his way and had opened
and closed a number of gates when,
driving too near the edge of a steep
bank, the wagon overturned, the box
catching him on the neck. His death
was instantaneous. The funeral ser
vices were held today. He leaves a
widow and six children. There is talk
of a suit for damages by the widow.

Hoskins Boy Run over. Sres.

Twelve-year-old viii Schultz, who
fell under the wheels of his fathers
buggy Saturday night as the latter
home, died as a result of the internal
injuries which the little fellow sus-
tanned. Thus fate, which On Deem
Der 4, 1907, saved the father from as
terrible and dramatic runaway col
lision as has ever been seen on Nor.
folk avenue, took the sons life in an
accident which at first seemed trivial.
In the sight of hundreds of people,
his wife among the number, William
Schultz, a Wayne county farmer liv-
ing five miles east of Hoskins, was in
the heart of an indiscriminate mixture
of buggy wreckage and sprawling
horses. A heavy runaway ice team
with the momentum gained by the
big wagon had crashed into Shultz
light frame buggy, overturning it and
smashing it into kindling wood.
1t was the first exchange day. The
Concordia band of Hadar was playing
near the corner of Fourth and Nor
folk avenue and hundreds were there
to see the smash-up which occurred
just as Shultz drove up to get his
wife and baby daughter.

day night at Z o'clock The Schultz
home is five miles east of Hoskins.
After the accident the boy was car
ried into the neighbours home, and
complained of his shoulder. A physi-
clan was summoned from Winside
The boy seemed to recover in a short
time and walked to the buggy and
was driven home. Internal injuries
however, had been sustained and re-
suited in the lads death.
Mother Away for First Time.
The mother of the boy was in Sioux
City on a visit, the first time she had
ever been twenty miles away from
home, and did not learn of her sons
accident and death until she stepped
off the train on her return yesterday
forenoon. When told of what had oc
Cured, she became frantic with griet
which was said by spectators to have
been the saddest sight they ever wit

Lindsay, Neb., Jan. 2O.-Special to
