Sharp Williams. for six years minority

product was so disappointing that none
had the heart to present 1t.

worse If they had been painting Adam"

should have three speeches, the court

IN THE CITY.

The fascinating whiTr of the csrded
wheels as they spin around to anything
from blank TO a royal flush very sell
dom the latter, however,) is a thing of
the past in Salt Lake City. The order for
suspension of all slot machines was is
sued by Chief Of Police s. NJ. Barlow
yesterday afternoon, and the officers on
the second relief, going on duty at 8
o'clock, were detailed to notify the pro-
prietors of stores and saloons in which
slot machines were being operated that
their use must cease.
The order was sweeping and peTemp-
tory. No day Of grace was given Slot
machines of all varieties, trade" or
money machines, whether operated Ill
cigar stores, saloons, restaurants OF drug
stores. were put under the ban, and the
instructions TO the officers were that the
order was effective Immediately upon no
tice to the proprietor of the place, and
that if the operation of a machine con-
tinued after the notice, the machine was
to be confiscated and the proprietor ar
rested.
The order was generally obeyed. al
though one East First South street cigar
store proprietor seemed inclined to doubt
the sincerity of the order. The patrOlman
passing the store half an hour after he
had given the chiefs notice saw the ma
chine being operated, and promptly con-
fiscated it and took il to headquarters
Later, when the man called at the sta
ton, he was permitted to recover the
device under the promise that he would
obey the order. Generally, however,
throughout the city the order was obeyed,
and in many of the cigar stores espe~
cially, where the play on the machiiEes
had always been heavy. there was an I'M
usual quietness.

the feeling was expressed that any phar-

take advantage Of temperance legislation

OUR NEED OF sHAD.
The Suggestion That the Government
Should Do More Breeding.

There IS undoubtedly occasion for the
alarms that are sounded with each re.
curing springtima by the fishermen Of
the Chesapeake bay region concerning the
continuously lessening supply Of shad
and herring that come in from the ocean.
The fishermen Of che Upper bay region
claim that these ocean grown fishes are
trapped BY unfair and wholesale meth
DDS n the Lower bay region, while below
The mouth Of the Potomac the fishermen
say that the annual runs are nothing like
what they used to do Both statements
are undoubtedly correct.
The trapping methods all along the
route are more ingenious and ten times
more extensive than they were twenty
years ago. which means that the vast
schools that come In from the ocean
every springtime are being divided
among a greater multitude Of takers.
But 1t is also undoubtedly true that
natural propagation is mot more than
ne-tenth as prolific as it was two de-
.cades ago, and the artificial Matching by
the government is not anything like
making up for the nine-tenths shortage
in natural breeding.
The deduction + that artificial breed
ing Of these important food fishes should
be quadrupled, or, TO be adequate, should
be increased tenfold. Instead of turning
loose 35,0000O0 Of young shad in Chesa-
peake waters, the government ought an
nually to free 350000000 or 40o000000,
and the state Of Maryland ought to coll
lect sufficient revenue from the fish
ing industries to Justify the increase Of
the existing Matching facilities at least
tenfold There is some reason for dis
enlargement in the fact that the fish
bred in the Maryland hatcheries may be
taken in, the lower waters by the Vir-
ginia fishermen
There ought to be national legislation
that viii keep the central region Of the
bay and al the ehannelways Of rivers
tributary to the bay open to migratory
movements Of the ocean FISH. The sup
ply Of shad and herring can be indefinite

Hundreds Of tons Of shad roe are eaten
each year. but three tons hatched would

LIQUOR FROM DRUG STORES.
Much Harm Arising from Dispensing In
toxicants over Its Counter

Apropos Of the popular discussion on
alcohol in the newspapers and magazines
and the so-caled wave Of temperance
reform, il is interesting to note the firm
stand taken by the American Pharma-
ceutical association and the National AS
ISOLATION Of Retail Druggists against the
sale Of liquors over the drug store count
err And this especially, in view Of the
fact that the drug store as such is fast
becoming an unknown quantity, mas
much as very few pharmacists can earn
even fair, not 70 say good, livelihood
by restricting Themselves to the sale OF
drugs pure and simple.
The temptation to dispense port, sher-
ry and brandy, along with soaps, per.
fumes and candy, III order to make the
business pay, has been TOO great for a
few pharmacists, at least 10 withstand;

HOW H WON
HIS FIRST CASE,
BY EDGAR d. GARDNER.

ciation.I
Edward Snelson went from the farm
to college. Bred TO an out OF door life,
he distinguished himself there rather
in athletic sports than in his studies.
Though not large man. he was wiry,
and his muscles were like steel. What
he lacked in weight be made up in
pluck, and, as for quickness. he was
epry as car.
Snelson after being graduated stud
led law and returned to his country
home to practice his profession. But
his neighbors lived too peacefully to-
gether to afford him any cases, and he
went TO mining district in the Rocky
mountains.
The young lawyer hung out bis shin
gle and so long as no one required his
services lived in peace. He was not
quarrelsome, and no one had any rea-
son to quarrel with him. Occasionally
some one In sombrero hat, wooden shirt
and trousers stuffed in bis boots would
rally him on his eastern ready made
clothes, but there was nothing in this
to warrant the shedding Of blood
But law cases were not plentiful in
the west, when suddenly one day the
Empire Mining company employed him
IN case against one who had jumped

Traphagan, the defendant. had no

proposed to hold it by brute force. He
had killed half dozen men simply
by shooting flrst. He would hide a
pistol in a pocket Of his coat and
shoot without drawing the weapon.
His method was well known and ter
rorized every one who came In con-
tact with him AS soon as Snelson
was announced as the mining compa-
ny's counsel Traphagan stated public
ly IN the Alhambra saloon that II the
tenderfoot appeared In court to argue
the case he would pay for his assur-
ance with his life. OF course he in
tended the statement for the lawyer,
and the message went straight to
Snelson.
1t was generally conceded that the
case would never come to trial No
one thought that the quiet young ten
derfoot would pay the penalty Of ar
guing a case with his life, nor was
there any other lawyer in that region
who would stand in his place Trap
hagan did not concern himself further
in the matter, not doubling that he
would be left. for the present at least
IN possession Of the claim be had
jumped. When the day and hour for
trial came around he had forgotten
aH about 1t. Notified that the case
had been called, he hurried to the
courtroom.
The sight he saw there startled him
The court was seated on three leg
ged stool before board resting on
two barrels. The Jury. occupied a
