dent, supplies were collected and sent

Tho three drug stores of Yorkvillc
have abandoned the idea of remain
ing closed on Thursday afternoons.
Speaking of the matter yesterday one
of the drug store proprietors said that
experience had proved that 1t was
impractical for the druggists to close
their places because OF the fact that
the clerks on half-holiday from the
other stores and people generally
wanted some place to. loaf. Then
again calls for the services of 'physi-
clans were constantly coming to the
drug stores from country districts.
After carefully considering the matter
all the druggists decided this week
that it would be best for them to re-
main open.
Alleging that lie poisoned about
eighteen of his chickens valued at $50,
Louis Roth, Yorkville merchant has
issued warrant for o. G. Taylor,
superintendent of the Yorl;vile Oil
Mill, charging malicious mischief
Taylor denies poisoning Roth's chick
ems, but claims that he did throw some
dough over on the Roth side of the
fence that the chickens might be at
tracted to it and incidentally taught to
stay at home. Incidentally Taylor
comes back with the charge that
Roths son, Louis, got the Taylor goat
by pouring gasoline on it and then
setting it on fire. John R. Hart, Esq,
represents Roth and. Thos. F. McDow,
ESQ.,, represents Taylor. The matter
is scheduled for an airing in Magis-
trate Fred Blacks court as s1on as the
court of general sessions is over. -
People don't fall for patent medi-:
cine fakes like they used to do, accord
ing to Doctor Mons, little fat man who
was in Yorkville 4 few days ago with
a merry -go-round. The doc, who has
been selling patent medicine and one
thing and another for twenty years
throughout this territory, says that
peop'e are not as easy as they used to
be-. II came in here the other day with
a bunch Of good medicine-rattlesn snake
oil and everything. paid your town
license tax of $40 and getting in a
wagon on the corner, Y went after
them with vengeance. Why man,
that was good medicine. That oil
would go through a piece Of cowhide
in a jiffy. If it would do that for a
tough cowhide, just think what II
would do for a human hide. I offered
it for a dollar a bottle. Nothing doing
Then 1 offered it for a half. and still
there was nothing doing. Then came
down to a quarter and sold about SIS
worth. Why two years ago, sonny, !
would have cleaned up in this coun
try with that stuff. People are get
ting eddicated, reckon. But you can
take it from me there amt nothing in
the patent medicine business like it
used to be-"

man who knows baseball and who en-.
lows baseball. All of the LegiOnalres
