Abusing Patients Frowned Upon.

Express Company Ordered to Handle
Liquor Shipments.
Poplar Bun Republican,

Poplar Bun Republican,
That there is no distinction in the
handling of liquors as express in wet
md local option territory within the
state was shown in d decision render
ed by Judge John Gloriod, sitting a,
Special Judge in the Circuit Court
mere Friday.
Several months ago the Wells Far
go Express Company refused to handle
liquor shipments destined to points
IN local option territory. The james
Il. Hogg Distilling Company and the
kirkhoff Disabling Company of this
city, who up this ii me had enjoyed a
very lucrative mail order business,
appealed to the courts for relief.
The case was heard by Judge j. p.
Foard in the July term of the Circuit
Court, and a temporary writ was is
sued, whereupon the Express Com
pany appealed to the Supreme Court
50 issue a writ Of prohibition, which
would, of course, have prohibited
Judge Foard's order from becoming
permanent. The Supreme Court re-
FUSED to grant the writ, and the cast
was remanded to the Circuit Court,
where il was heard by Acting Judge
John Gloriod last Friday, and the
writ OF mandamus was made perma-
nent.
This ease has been watched with
much interest, as it affected not only
the shipper, but a vast numLer Of pa
irons in local option territory, who
were accustomed to ordering liquors
and having same sent to them by way
OF express.
1t has been authenticity reported
chat the Express Company will re-
