DRUG STORES HERE
CARRY FULL STOCKS

Despite the "drugless" healing era
that TO many seems but a step IN the
future, the habits OF the people are
strongly entrenched, and even though
we do not need the quinine and Gallo
mel OF the lower attitudes, there Is a
demand fer drugs. Responsive to
this demand there is a most excellent
array OF drug stores in Amarillo.
These merchants have equipped them
selves for the supplying of every need
of the trade.
All these dispensers of drugs carry
also facilities to make glad the hearts
of those looking for soft" drinks
and frozen delcacies In the heated
term and warming and refreshing
beverages in the winter time. /, Is
probable that not more than one In
every five hundred orders for toilet
articles must be sent out Of town to
foreign points for filling.
Some of the most modern drug
palaces in the country are to be found
here. In addition 10 the retail drug
business, there Is one excellent whole
sale drug establishment. This Is one
of the most up-to-datc houses OF It's
kind to be found In the country. ship
ping wares throughout this entire
section.

A very few years ago. person

have his soiled linen handled by a
steam laundry, would have had to

some other North Texas town to have

same time. those towns OF North
Texas we're shipping laundry work to
Amarillo, not only for Amarillo but

and Plainyiew.
The present time shows most
radical change. Instead OF laundry
being shipped out OF Amarillo TO be
laundered, three modern laundry
plants are now in operation in our
city and they are shipping out laun-
dry work finished TO more than l25
towns and cities throughout the Fan
handle OF Texas, the western part OF
Oklahoma and eastern part OF New
Mexico.
The laundry plants OF Amarillo
represent an investment Of over $780,
600 and employs about $50 opera
tors, not counting the numerous
agents and their employees. These
steam plants have a pay roll which
will aggregate s2,560 per month ant
as they pay their employees off every
week, II will be seen that the laun'
dry plants OF Amarillo mean much tC

Oklahoma City, Dec. 22--Before the

tilted he lost his position with the
state following his refusal to accept
machinery, which the state board of

ed the payment of 1895 for when he
could have purchased similar electri-
cal machinery for $3,S90.
The machinery was delivered on the
tracks at Norman, Okla, and Will
liams refused to approve of it or ap-
prove of the payment for the machin-
cry. Auditor Leo Meyer, upon ap-
proyal of r. H. Wilson, paid for the
machinery and later Williams was let
go as financial agent.

DON'T WANT
CABINET JOB
Prefers Senate, But Believes State En-
titled to Cabinet Honor.

! Muskogee, okla, Dec. 25.-W Writing
to his friend and business associate,
Fred Rains, secretary of the Muskogee
Realty company, Senator Robert L.
Owen denies with emphasis the canard
sent out from Washington last week
to the effect that he was making Wig
orous personal efforts to secure ap-
pointment at the hands of President
elect Wilson to the cabinet portfolio of
secretary of the interior department.
The letter made public by Mr.. Rains
today, sets forth the belief of Senator
Owen that Oklahoma is entitled to
recognition in the next cabinet and
lparticularizes the post of secretary of
interior, but he makes it clear that
he would not accept such preferment
in any circumstances for the reasons
that he considers his voice and vote
i'm the senate of infinitely more inn
portance to the party and the nation
Close friends of Senator Owen have
been branding as maliciously false and
unfounded the stories which have
been sent broadcast with the very evi-
dent purpose of misrepresenting him
and misinterpreting his motives. The
senator's letter, setting forth his views
on the matter, is as follows:
Washington, D. c., Dec 20. 1912.
Mr.. Fred Rains, Muskogee, Okla.
My Dear Rains: Answering your
letter as to the reports recently pub.
lished that | might accept a cabinet
position, or that | had made any in
dorsements for places in Mr.. Wilson's
cabinet, l reply that I have not the
slightest idea of becoming a member
OF Mr.. Wilson's cabinet and would not,
under any circumstances, consider
leaving the senate of the United
States for a cabinet position. There
are matters of great national import
ance in which / am profoundly in
terested and which l will have an op-
Dortunity to serve in the senate.
Il have never said or written a word
to Mr.. Wilson with regard to place
in his cabinet for anyone ! hope to
see the Oklahoma delegation a unit
in asking for the position of secretary
of the interior for the state of Okla
homa, and believe that if they CO.
operate cordially they have good
chance to have our state recognized
in this way
Yours hastily,

from a horse in front of the post office
building last evening about six o'clock
which will result IN his death during
the course of today The accident
came as terrible climax to the quiet
peace that had pervaded the city dur
ling the day and threw gloom over the
merriment that was in full sway on
the streets. Mr. Taylor was coming
down Wilson street and intending to
turn the corner leading west on Ca
madam avenue in a fast gallop when
the horse fell throwing it's rider sew
eral feet from it, Taylor struck on
his head fracturing the bones above
the temple and splitting the scalp down
into the base of the skull. He was APP
parently lifeless when taken up and
has never regained consciousness.
He was carried to the office of DR..
F. L. Hughson where an operation was
performed, but all efforts proved futile

abandoned. He Is alive at the time of

Mrs. X. L. Taylor living a mile and
half northwest Of this city and has
