NOT GUILTY
Circuit Court Says Express Company
Is Not Dealer i'm Liquors.

Aberdeen. Dec. -Four railroads,
the Milwaukee, Northwestern, Great
Northern and Minneapolis & st.
Louis, together with four express
companies. the Wells-Fargo, the
Adams, the Great Northern and the
American. were recently arrested and
bound over for trial charged with
violating the statute f%orbidding any
one to ship liquor from a wet terri
tory into a dry territory within the
state of South Dakota. The case
came to trial in the Clark county
courts, being brought by the officers
of Clark county, who alleged that the
deputy sheriff of the county ordered
a case of beer from the Hamm Brew
ing company at Watertown and that
the American Express company de-
livered it into Clark county. which is
dry territory.
The American Express company's
case came to trial first and was re-
garded as a test case. The following
provision is the ground upon which
they were tried: Wholesale dealers
shall be held to NEAR and include all
persons who sell or deliver such
liquors or beverages in quantities of
five gallons or over, at any one time
TO any one person or persons"
Relying upon this statute. the state
held hat the American Express COM
pany made itself a wholesale liquor
dealer when it delivered liquor in
quantities of over five gallons. The
express company claimed, and it was
so held by the jury, that, inasmuch as
the liquor was purchased I, o. b. Wa
tertown, that the actual sale was
made in WATERFOWL, and that the ex-
press company was simply acting as
the agent of the purchaser when they
delivered the goods to him in Clark
county. The verdict returned them,
| was that the statute does not pro-
hibit the shipping of liquor from a
wet territory into a dry one within
the state, when the person or per
sons making the delivery acts as a
common carrier.
The states attorney regarded this
| as a test case and asked the court to
dismiss the rest OF the cases. which
was done.
Whether or not the county OF
| Clark will appeal this TO the state SUI
preme court remains TO be seen. as
the states attorney has not yet made
up his mind.

TYPHOID FEVER
Disease Found To Re the Most Pre-
valent In Rural Communities.

Jacksonville. Fla, Dec. THE
danger of getting typhoid fever in
creases in direct ratio to the distance
one travels away from the big cities,
according to DR.. John S. Fulton, Sec
rotary of the board of health of Mary
land. who addressed the American
Public Health association here. He
called his discovery "the paradoxic
relation of typhoid fever to popula-
ton magnitudes."
Taking the typhoid records OF
twenty states, DR.. Fulton arranged
them in order of their percentage OF
rural population, and found that the
highest typhoid rates occurred in the
least urban, or in other words, the
most rural states. He also examined
some 400 counties. which had no
cities as large as 10000, and found
that the less populous counties have
the higher typhoid rates.
Typhoid fever is a filth disease,
everywhere and always caused by
swallowing human filth" he said
The chance for infection is greater
under rural conditions, because the
rural way of disposing of human filth
is TO let il lie OF the ground. where
it has the best chance of coming back
into the human mouth as a contain
ination of food or drink. Under ur-
ban condition, human filth Is gener-
ally disposed Of in less dangerous
ways, and under the best urban con-
ditions is disposed Of in a perfectly
safe manner. 1t is therefore, a gen
eral rule in this country, that the
chances of contracting typhoid fever
are highest in the smallest commu
mites. and lowest in the largest"

! would not trust me any more and |
had to give up my room. All this
week l have lived on half a pint OF

COMMITTEE ON SALARIES AND FEES
FILESREP0RT--RECOMMENDS AN
INCREASE OF $1,000 FOR GOVERNOR

general at $4,000; auditor at $500; land
agent at $500; superintendent of
schools at $4,000; assessors at $4,000;
commissioner of fisheries at $1,000; as
sistant librarian at $1,000; secretary of
the board of charities at $1,000: health
board secretary at $500; highway
commissioners and public utilities
commissioners are recommended to re-
main at present figures. An increase
of $500, to $4,000 for secretary of State,
$500 to deputy secretary, to $500; as
sistant to the attorney general OF 5000,
to $500 and increases to uniform
scale in the department of agriculture
raised from $500 to $500 for the COM
missioner, $500 to $1,000 for commission
er of labor and $500 to the inland fish
commission chairman to $2500 are rec
commended.
The committee would do away with
the commission on inland fisheries and
authorize one man for commissioner,
empowered to hire all necessary sub
efdfnates. The system would then be
on the same basis as the shore fisher
les management.
Creation of the Office of assistant treas
urer is recommended at salary of $500.
but this is offset in decrease of clerk
hire that would result.
Another increase is advised for State
librarian from $500 to $500 and that the
deputy superintendent of schools be rails
ed to $3.50 from $500.
In the report is reference to the made
quate salary of $500 for members of the
Legislature, but the committee refrains
from making any recommendation look
ing to an increase. President of the Sen
ate and Speaker of the House draw $500
under the provision of 10 years ago and it
is stipulated that this amount is fair
and equitable.
Conditional to the increase in salary of
the Governor is the provision that he
shall establish his official residence in
Augusta during his term of office. and
that he shall give his entire time to his
duties. That this increase is nothing
more than fair when all the expense in
volved in two preliminary campaigns
and in maintaining the dignity of his po-
sition is considered, all agree. Few will
seem to interpose economy objections,
which would be about all that could be
raised, since the committee has inquired
diligently into all these positions and
have written a report which is clear,
concise and constitutes the best judg-
ment of a committee that is we'll qualified
for the work.

SUPERIOR COURT
At WATERvILLE

Waterville Me-, Dec. 3.-(Special).-
The personal damage case, Wingate
VS.. Waterville, Fairfield & Oakland
Railroad commenced yesterday after
noon was on trial all day. The testi-
mony for plaintiff was completed upon
adjournment.
DR.. Hurd was the first doctor to
attend the plaintiff after the accident.
He said that he found her complaining
a great deal of trouble in her left side
near the region of the breast, and her
left groin He said she had scratch
wound on the left shin. He said that
he dressed her shin, bandaged 1t, and
strapped the left side near the groin
we'll up to the arm pit. He then took
her temperature and pulse and went
home Her temperature that night was
49, and her pulse "a and respiration
normal. The next two or three days
he found about the same conditions.
On the 22nd he was informed that his
patient had vomited blood the night
before. On the 23rd the doctor stated
that he held consultation with DR..
Boyer On the gath he was called and
was told his patient had had faint
ing spell. He said he found her in
ia irly good condition, temperature and
pulse about as usual. On the 9th he
was informed that the plaintiff had
passed blood in the urine. She COM
planned of a good deal of pain and q
bearing-down sensation when she
passed urine. The first day of Au-
gust the doctor said he received a
telephone message asking him to
bring DR.. NJ. S. Goodrich on the case
but as he was out of town. he finally
had Dr. Abbott visit the patient with
him.
The doctor stated that ne continued to
visit the patient until August S, and that
during that time her pulse and tempera-
ture were about normal, except that on
the 18th her temperature rose to SO and
the pulse was "A. On the 4th of August
he said he received his discharge and
had had nothing to do with the case
since In reply to a question he stated
that on July % he made an examination
of the pelvic organs and found some
what retroverted and retrofiexed condi-
ton of the uterus, meaning tipping
back of that organ, and treated that
trouble for a few days, using packs to
elevate the uterus somewhat from the re-
troverted condition back to the normal
position. but did not seem to accomplish
much The witness did not remember of
the patient complaining of pain In her
back the night of the accident.
The doctor was examined at some
length by both sides to the controversy.
Dr. M. S. Goodrich was then called to
the stand and told the history of the case
from the time he took 1t up. He made
a great many visits. operated on the pa
tent when 1t was finally considered to
be necessary. His explanation of the
condition of the patient since the acct
dent and at this time was gone into at
great length.
DIR. F. L. Tozier Of Fairfield was the
next witness, and then followed DR.. H
G. Frederick of Augusta Both of these
gentlemen were examined in detail. The
final conclusion of the several doctors
who testified for the plaintiff was that
the patient would be an invalid the rest
of her life.
Adjourned until $50 o'clock tomorrow
morning.
