Important Legal Ruling.

The latest ruling on the admissible
ity of dying declarations" in evidence
in criminal cases is made by the SUI
preme court Of Georgia in Sewell VS.,
State, in which the court states in its
syllabus:
IN a murder case it was error to
charge the jury that when death Is
approaching and the dying man has
lost hope of life, and his mind feels
the full consciousness Of his condi-
ton, the solemnity of the scene gives
to his statement the sanctity of truth,
and such dying declaration, when
made under such circumstances, may
be given in evidence and submitted to
the jury Such charge tended to UNI
duly impress the minds of the jury
with the weight of the evidence con
tanned in dying declarations, as to
which juries do not require any EN-
phasis from the bench"

And viii Never Forget the Experience.

The coffee drinker who has suffered
and then been completely relieved by
changing from coffee to Postum knows
something valuable. There's no doubt
about it.
Il learned the truth about coffee in a
peculiar way" says California wom-
an. MY husband who has, for years,
been Of bilious temperament decided
to leave off coffee and give Postum
trial, and as did not want the trouble
Of making two beverages for meals l
concluded to try Postum, too. The re-
suits have been that while my husband
has been greatly benefited, have my
self received even greater benefit.
when l began to drink Postum l
was thin in flesh and very nervous.
Now actually weigh 16 pounds more
than l did at that time and l am
stronger physically and in my nerves,
while husband is free from all his ails.
I'VE have learned our little lesson
about coffee and we know something
about Postum, too, for we have used
Postum now steadily for the last three
years and we shall continue to do so. /,
I'VE have no more use for coffee
the drug drink. We prefer Postum and
health"

Interests Of Druggists.

Alive to the interests of the drug
gists, President MCGEE of the State
Pharmaceutical Association sent cir
cular letter to every druggist in the
state, so that they would protect
themselves against the danger Of ar
rest for violating any provisions of the
Harrison narcotic bill passed by Con
gress, becoming effective March 1.
Upon several points Mr.. MCGEE was
uncertain, so he wrote a letter to the
commissioner of internal revenue, re-
ceiving the following reply:
Replying to your favor Of Feb. 8,
you are advised that druggists can
only dispense drugs-and preparations
falling within the scope of the anti
narcotic law, upon the written original
prescription Of a duly registered ply
stefan, dentist or veterinarian.
"The original and duplicate order
forms are only to be used for obtain
ing a supply of the drugs and prepare
lions covered by this law, and can
not take the place Of prescription"
In the circular sent out Mr.. MCGEE,
in making comments, says:
"The executive committee and the
president of the association endorse
this law to the fullest extent. 1t is in
line with the recommendation that
would have been incorporated in the
presidents annual address for a pro-
posed bill before the state legislature

Muscular movements are the golden

harmonic the soul of man with purer

Desolutions Passed at Meeting
Yesterday Thank City for

SUCCESSFUL SESSION
COMES TO CLOSE

The final session of the State
County Treasurers' association was
held yesterday, and most of the visit
ors left for home last evening.
At the meeting yesterday Carl Kos
itzky of this city was elected presi-
dent of the association and w. j.
Prater, treasurer of Burleigh county
and also of this city, was elected sec
retary and treasurer of the organlza'
tion. Mandan was selected as the
next meeting place. Dates for next
years meeting were not fixed, but 1t
will be held while the stat equaliza-
tion board is in session, so that Wis.
iting county treasurers and auditors
can attend the meetings of the board.
Resolutions Adopted.
The meeting held in this city was
by far the most successful ever held
by the association, and the visitors
are all leaving for their homes with
warm spot in their hearts for the
capital city.
The following resolutions were
adopted at the meeting yesterday:
I. On behalf Of the County Treas.
urers' association we wish to express
the pleasure we experienced during
our two days spent at Bismarck and
our appreciation of the hospitality
and entertainment afforded us by its
citizens.
2. We are grateful to the CONNER.
cial club for it's address of welcome
through Mr.. Young and for the use
of it's rooms for our meetings.
3. We shall never forget the steam
boat trip up the Missouri given us by
Capt. Baker. The talks by Governor
Hanna and Capt. Baker, and the anec.
dotes of early days in the Territory
of North Dakota related by Capt.
Marsh, gave us new insight into
and an increased respect for the his
tory of our great state.
4. We also remember very kindly
the many owners Of automobiles who
placed both their time and their ma.
chimes at our disposal.
5. The Bismarck Tribune exceeded
all precedents by devoting one and a
half pages of its issue to our interests.
We appreciate this beyond express
sion. We thank the warden of the
penitentiary for his interest in our
visit and conducting us through the
different departments.
6. And last, but not, therefore,
least, We wish to thank Mr.. Kositzky
and Mr.. Prater for their active inter-
est in the success of our gathering.
