Topeka.-Attorney General Fred s.
Jaskson has rendered an important
opinion on a liquor question. County
Attorney Benest Of Eureka, asked for
and received the opinion, which fol-
lows:
Dear Sir: In answer to your letter OF
June II, in which you say: l write
this to inquire your opinion regarding
the shipment Of whisky by freight
shipped in the manner called shippers
order" That is, company A OF Kan
sas City, Mo-, ships package OF
whisky to Eureka by freight, consign-
ed to its own order, with instruction to
the railroad company to notify Mr. s.
of Eureka. At the same time company
A wholesale liquor dealers) send the
bill of lading with a sight draft attach
ed to a bank; both the railroad CON-
pany and the bank notify Mr.. s., who
goes to the bank and takes up the
draft and bill of lading, then presents
the bill of lading to the depot agent,
who delivers the whisky to Mr.. s.
Does a transaction such as recited
above, constitute a violation Of the
prohibitory laws of the state OF Kan
sas? ! beg to say: In my judgment
transaction such as the one above cit
ed constitutes a violation of the pro-
hibtory liquor laws OF the state of
Kansas. This state of facts makes the
bank party to the transaction and
virtually makes the sale where the
money is collected for the liquor. The
liquor billed to its destination in the
name of the consigner and the bill Of
lading sent to the bank, constitutes
the banker the agent Of the consignor
for the sale and delivery Of the goods.

ONE million DOLLARS FOR
A GOOD STOMACH
This offer Should Be a Warning To
Every Man and Woman.

The newspapers and medical journals
recently have had much to say relative
10 a famous lnillionaires' offer OF mil
lion dollars for a new stomach.
This great nulti-millonaire was toe
busy to worry about the condition of
his stomach. HIe allowed his dyspepsia
to run from bad to worse until in the
cnd it became incurable.
HIS misfortune serves as a warning
to others
Everyone who suffers with dyspepsia
for few years will give everything he
owns for d new stomach.
Dyspepsia is caused by an abnormal
state of the GASTRIC juices. There is one
element missing. The absence of this
destroys the function of the gastric
fluids. They lose their power TO digest
food
We are now able to supply the mis-
sing clcment-to restore to the gastric
juices their digestive power, and to
make the stomach strong and well.
We know that ReXall Dyspepsia Tab
lets will positively and permanently
cure disordercd stomachs, indigestion
and dyspepsia.
We want you to try them and will
return your money if YOU are not more
than satisfied with the result.
Price 25 cents. Only at our store, or

BowDoiN COLLEGE.
Rev. H. r. Bates Very AcceptabIy Acts
As College Preacher.

Brunswick, Me-, Jan. T.-(SpeciaD.-
Bowdoin students had the great pleasure
Of hearing today as the Bowdoin College
preacher, Rev Fl. Roswell Bates of New
York City. In the morning Mr. Bates
preached in the Congregational church,
IN the afternoon conducted college chapel.
and in the evening addressed a large
meeting of the Christian Association in
Memorial hall Mr.. Bates is one of the
younger generation of ministers whose
success has been swift and well deserved.
A graduate of Hamilton College, he nat
urally moved on into the presbyterian
ministry and now is pastor of the Spring

poets of the social problem of the metrop-

ability At the Northfield Conference he
is a most welcome speaker and when
many of the large colleges and universe

Mr.. Bates was chosen. Mr.. Bates in his
address at Memorial hall spoke for the
most part of existing conditions in New
York City.
The faculty of the Maine Medical school
at a recent meeting took the important
step of ruling that after 1912 one year of
college work in physics. chemistry, BIOL
ogy and either French or German will be
required for entrance to the Medical
school, This decision is the outgroWth
of a feeling that professional school of
the standing of the Bowdoin Medical
should admit only trained men. Presl-
lent Hyde when seen by the Orient would
make no statement other than the facts
,bove noted, but it seems probable That
the faculty makes this requirement as a
sort of preliminary step to greater
things If the Medical school continues
to prosper under the new system II is
reasonable to suppose that eventually the
faculty will finish the good work and
make it graduate school.

THE 1O5TH OHIO.
Norris L. Gage Writes of the Oldest
Living Member of That Regiment.

Norris L. Gage, formerly one of the
most respected of old Topeka citizens
and now a resident Of Ashtabula, Ohio,
but who still owns property here, has
been writing considera BILE lately about
some of his experiences in Company
G of the 105th Ohio volunteers His
latest article concerns Marshal w.
Wright, a veteran of the civil war and
q notable fighter of his times.
Mr.. Gage says that Marshal w.
Wright Is 80 years of age. and enjoys
great health and vigor. He tells of the
entertainment afforded him by his
many friends and the celebration of
his ninetieth birthday. It seems that
Captain Wright was quartermaster in
his regiment and his efficiency as an Of
f1cer and his kindness as man earned
Tor him the title of father of the regi-
ment."
In his own words Mr.. Gage has the
following to say in the Ashtabula Rec
Beacon about Captain Wright:
Marshal W. Wright. in full posses
physically enfeebled by age celebrated
his ninetieth birthday at his home in
Kingsville. Relatives and friends call
ed, all bringing tokens of good will and
many with more substantial offerings.
Recently accompanied by his grand
daughter, Miss Phillips. who acts as his
nurse and companion, he attended re-

county.
Among those present were the wild

late Judge Tourgee who was an officer
of this regiment and who was the au
thor of The Story of a Thousand,
known as the best regimental history
ever written both in respect to his
toricaI fu1lneSs and accuracy as well
as literary excellence. The regiment
was recruited in Asntabula and
adjacent counties.
Captain Wright did grand service
as our Quartermaster. His efficiency
as an officer and his kindness as a man
earned for him the title of The father
of the regiment and proof that he is
worthy of the title can be furnished by
every living survivor and If the dead
could speak the regimenta1 verdict
would be unanimous.

review of Mr.. Stones work and per-

Mr.. Stone is now hard at work in
his bungalow at Altadena, sleeping
