CHILD LOST TEN YEARS.
Youth Blown Away in Galveston Hur'
ricane is Recovered.

In the hurricane and tidal wave
on Sept. s, 1900, the three-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Wood
son, of Ell Dorado, Tex, who were
visiting relatives near Bolivar, on
Galveston bay, was swept away when
the house was carried by the sea il
land nearly mile. A few days ago a
traeling salesman heard the story OF
the finding of the child in pasture
by a man, who placed the boy in all
asylum in San Antonio. The sales
man knew the Woodsons, who have
since moved to Kansas City, and the
child now nearly IA years old, was
traced to a family near Fredericks'
burg, Tex. The family adopted the
child six years ago.
Identity was established by a gold
medal with the child's initials en-
graved on it, which he wore when he
was swept away, and birthmark on
the body. The parents believed tht
boy had been carried to sea.

hits THEM HARD
PATENT MEDICINE MAKERS LOSE
IMPORTANT CASE.
Manufacturers Denied the Right to
Dictate Prices to the Selling
Houses.

lAooCNos
The attempt to put the ban on "cut
rates" in proprietary medicines IN
this country received the unqalified
disapproval of the Supreme Court OF
the United States Monday. That tri-
bunal declined in an opinion by JUS
tice Hughes to give its aid to such
an attempt on the ground that 1t
would afford the manufacturers OF
medicine an unlawful monopoly.
The question of the right Of a
manufacturer to control the price of
his article to the consumer arose IN
suit begun by the Doctor Miles Medi-
cal Company, of Elkhart, Ind,
against a wholesale dealer in medi-
cines in Cincinnati, John D. Park &
Sons Company.
The manufacturer sought to enjoin
the Cincinnati firm from inducing
dealers who had procured medicines
from the manufacturer to sell in vio-
lation of a contract with the manu-
facturer, and from selling medicines
procured in this way at "cut rates. v
Justice Lurton, then judge in the
circuit court, announced the opinion
Of the circuit court Of appeals Of the
Sixth circuit, denying the injunctions
sought. He said that while. the man
ufacturer of medicines under secret
formula has right to monopoly of
manufacture until the formula was
discovered by fair means, yet courts
could not insure him the "unneces-
sary monopoly" of controlling the
price to the consumer.
Justice Lurton added that such a
manufacturer would be accorded 9TH
erwise greater privilege than an in
yentor. He pointed out that an in
ventor must make public his inven-
ton, which becomes the property OF
the public after a few years, but a
manufacturer of proprietary medi-
cine under mere secret fomula,
might enjoy a monopoly forever.
Justice Hughes today quoted ap-
provi1IsIy from Judge Lurton's opin-
ion, and stoted that the medicine
company had made the mistake of
con>idering its monopoly of manufac-
ture to 10 monopoly of sale.
Justice sIolmes, in dissenting
opinion, said that he believed polio.
of letting people manage their busi-
ness in their own way as much as
Dossible. Furthermore he stated he
believed there was a tendency to
overvalue the benefits of competition
to the public.

Soft Drink Dealers Convicted Of Vio-

Two hundred and seventy odd soft

Of Davidson county Monday morning,

of guilty and were assessed fines on

This was a compromise measure Of
the wholesale number OF indictments
found November II, 1910. 1t follows
the outcome of the cases against
Rothfelt Brothers about two weeks
ago, in which the defendants were
found guilty and assessed a fine Of
$50 in accordance with a sweeping
charge of Judge Mel, who held that

NEGRO TELLS OF MURDER.

out of Jail when he was arrested for
selling wfiskey in violation OF the

Garfield, station on the Savannah,
Augusta & Northern railway, 25
miles from Statesboro, Ca, told the
officers of murder said to have been
committed by a white man named
Mullins in December last. He said

structed the officers to go there and
dig. .
Fearing they would not find the

took them with no difficulty to where
he helped bury the negro. He says
he had no hand in the killing, but the
white man made he and another ne
gro bury the corpse. They began
to dig and in a short while it is said,
the decomposed body of the negro
was found.
1t is said the negro was killed
about the middle Of December and
nothing had been heard Of it until
the negro was arrested for selling
whiskey and his white friends refus-
ed to come to his rescue, when he be-
come "sore" and revealed the secret

ell county has been notified and is
searching for the murderer. 1t is
said that the accused white man has

GAME did NOT WORK

Young Man Tried to Fool Money Out

. Dead.
The Atlanta Journal says Lewis L
Pohlman, 80 years of age, an At
lanta electrician, who lives at Ii
Short street in that city, enjoys the
distinction of being young man
whose father won't trust him, either
alive or dead. He has tried it both
ways.
Pohlman, who used to be a sol
dier with the 18th regiment at For'
Mcpherson, found himself recently
out of funds. He was not in gooo
standing with his father. a respected
merchant in Harrisville, Pa, anc
knew it would be useless to appea
for help.
So he decided on a rather startling
plan to soften the fathers heart anc
loosen his pocketbook. He spent hif
last small change to send Western
Union message, which read as fol
lows:
"E. Pohlman, Harrisville, Pa;
Your son, Lewis, has just died o.
pneumonia, at the hospital here
Please send $50 to cover expenses fol
shipping his remains to you.
(Signed) "a. B. CARNES.
Then he waited an answer. But Il
didn't come. Apparently the old gen
tleman had little more confidence II
his son dead than he had previously
had fer him living. At any rate, in
stead Of send the money to "Carnes,
he got a Harrisville undertaken tx
wire Barclay & Brandon to look int
the case.
Lewis Pohlman, pretending to bt
"Carnes," got wind of this and wen
to Barclay & Brandon. He was
promptly arrested, and confessed tt
the whole transaction.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
Harry McGraw and Marie Morstad
Editors.

The Wabeno High School Foot Ball
team played the All Star team of Wa
beno and Soperton last Saturday, The
game was a very close one, the score
being five to nothing in favor of the
High School team. Both teams played
at great disadvantage on account of the
ball and field being wet and muddy.
The High School boys had the ball
within yard of the goal line four diff
ferent times, but were unable to score,
or possibly it was the pride of the
High School team that kept them from
taking too much candy from the All
Stars. In the beginning of the game
Bill Kennedy tore off thirty yards and
planted the ball behind the goal posts
just to show their ability. Another
game with the All Stars will probably
be held in the near future.
The Shawano Football team failed to
show up Saturday as expected, but they
have made the agreement to come Sat-
urday, the End, rain or shine. No doubt,
Shawano will regret delaying the game
as it, will give our boys two more weeks
of practice.
