drugRlsts are to be prosecuted for violating
the excise laws In that many of the fancy
drinks they sell are nothing more than a
regulation "high bait." "gin flxs," or som
thing equally as Inebriating an well, as
cheering. Complaints are being prepared
this afternoon, and the result will be the
arrest of a majority of the druggists of
tie city. I
For some time the police have been In
possession of Information that the drug
gist were violating the law, and that It
waa possible by use of the "wink" to se
cure whisky straight, or with sugar and a
little water, and even possible for the
thirsty to secure a co'd bottle of beer
without even' the label being torn off.
Heretofore, however, the officers have not
bf en able to get the Information In shape
that It would make sufficient evidence to
secure convictions, hence they kept quiet
A few days ago Detectives Kentley and
Mitchell were assigned to the case, with
the result that they claim to have the evi
dence that will put nearly every druggist
selling Soda water In conflict with the law.
For the present the officers refuse to gtve
out the names against, whom complaints
are to be filed.
The chief of po'lee is In earnest In the
matter, and saya he Intends to do every
thing possible to break up the practice of
the drug stores taking' the place of sa
loons. He said: "The drug stores have no
light to sell liquor the way I understand
they have been doing, and I Intend to do
all In my power to strfp It. All the evi
dence possible will be brought to light, In
the hope that convictions will result In
very case."
A we'.l-known cltlxon who Is Interesting
himself In the matter aald he understood
that young girls were allowed to go to the
soda fountains and get most anything they
wanted to drink, from a plain soda to a
regular "high ball." "The drug stores,
he said, "are the cause of the downfall of
many of the young girls and young men
of the town, and. the law prohibiting them
selling liquor should L enforced to the
letter."
It is said the police have evidence that
one drug store at least had been selling
beer in quantities equal to that of a sa
loon. All that was necessary to get the
beer, It waa said, was to go to the rear
nd of (be store and say "beer," when
asked what was wanted. It was forth
coming In bottles duty labeled and marked
beer.
Selecting Normal Bites.
These are trying hours for those towns In
the west end of the state that offered bids
for the new normal sohool. The board met
at Peru this afternoon and In all proba
bility will reach a ' vote before morning.
Just what town will be the lucky one none
of the members of the board would predict
before leaving 'here, except of course Treas
. urer Mortensen. He believed that Ord had
that school building In Us vest pocket and
that the meeting of the board would be
merely a ratification of his wishes.
- The board has spent a month traveling
over the state wining and dining at the
beat homes In the land and getting tfett
ment nndr!aflng',,thitTier( are wont to.
get. They have not missed a town thai
put In a bid and not a town but has en
tertained the board royally.
The meeting of the board was called at
I o'clock this afternoon and routine matters
were transacted. ' Superintendent Fowler
telephoned that It was possible that a vote
would be takon .on the location of the
school tonight. The lata legislature ap
propriated $60,000 for the erection f the
building.
Ohio Dates Hot Cancelled.
The Information sent out from Cleveland
that V. J. Bryan had cancelled his Ohio
dates for speaking' was incorrect. Mr.
Bryan said today: "I have not cancelled
any dates In Ohio nor have Mr. Johnson
and myself had any disagreement. I simply
could not reach Toledo In time for tonlght'l
meeting. I will speak, however, this week
at VersalUer, Columbus and Marion, and
expect to piaoe myself at the. further dis
posal of the campaign committee. I cannot
discuss the Indorsement of Mr. Clarke for
senator until I am better Informed as to
the gentleman's position on the vital ques
tions of today as I view them. I leave to
night for Ohio."
The only date cancelled by Mr. Bryan
waa that for his appearance at Toledo. The
meeting at that plaoe which was to have
been' held tonight has been postponed to
wait the pleasure of Mr. Bryan.

YORK. Neb., Aug. 81. (Special.) Camp
Pershing breaks up today. It has without
question been a model camp In every par
ticular. The health of the command was
never better. The magnificent discipline
reflects great credit on Colonel Talbot and
the officers of his command. Adjutant
General J. H. Culver has been a tireless
worker, and his long experience not only
In National Guard work, but his two years
In the Philippines, has worked to great
advantage. Colonel George E. Jenkins,
quartermaster and commissary general. Is
rupreme In command in his department.
He Is the purchasing and disbursing of
ficer, and haa been with the guard for
more than ten years In thla capacity. He

ficient officer. Colonel Jenkins' daughter.
Miss Emily, Is In camp with him, and n
universal favorite with everyone. He Is
ably assisted by Captain Hull, reglment.il
quartermaster, and Sergeant Steele, regi
mental commissary sergeant,' both efficient
officers. The medical department Is under

Evans, a most competent officer, and by
his wise management the camp has been
kept In the very best sanitary condition
Colonel Evans Is accompanied to camp by
Mrs. Evans, Miss Cricket Evans, his two

given practical demonstration drills In
their line. The hospital ,corps Is the laat
company organised In the state. It la only
four montha old, yet It has made a record

SOME INDICATION OF MURDER
Norfolk Man Who Carried Consider
able Money lias Plsap.
eared. -
NORFOLK, Neb., Aug. 81. (Speclal.)-
Auguat Burg, a Bwedlsb stone mason, has
very suddenly and mysteriously dlsap
peared from Norfolk and It la feared he
has met with foul play. Burg was last
seen at his boarding house, 413 South
Fourth street, Saturday night when he
ate supper. Since then bis friends nave
hunted high and low to locate him and
the entire Norfolk police force has been
working hard on the case today, without
clew. The man had a large sum of
money on his person when last seen, which
Intensifies the alarm of his friends.
Burg Is a stone mason who haa been
in Norfolk for eight weeks. He has been
steadily working on the new roundhouse
of the Northwestern Railroad company
He was a man of steady habits and hardly
spoke a word f English. He roomed at
418 South Fourth street with a number of
his fellow workmen. Those who know
him best are positive that ho cannot have
suddenly left the city of his own accord
There Is every reason to tnlnk that the
foul play theory must be correct. On
Wednesday of this week Burg would have
received C0 In wages at the yards. He haa
no friends elsewhere to ' whom he might
have gone. He Is a married man, but his
wife Is still In Europe.
Burg Is sis feet tall and wears a light
colored moustache. When last seen he
wore his working garments, a straw hat
and no vest. Just exactly how much
money he carried Is not known, but hi
fellow laborers all say that the sum was
large. This fact, and the fact that It was
known, gives weight to the foul play
notion..
Charles Sandqulat, a friend, has caused
the Investigation and search to be made.
He roomed w'.th Burg and la very much
alarmed. Any Information will gladly be
received by Chief of Police Kane. "

It is understood, wilt not resume his work
In the Agricultural department but will re
tire to private life. Captain Oeddes en
listed as a private soldier in the Fourteenth
Iowa regiment and at LI he was colonel of

which were later disproved through the
active efforts of. Congressmen Hepburn,

of years. Under the law he waa compelled
to forfeit his salary as a captain of the

nection with the Department of Agriculture
although there are other retired army of
ficers who are receiving pay in other de
partments of the government.
Recently Captain Gcddes began suit to re
cover back pay due him as a captain of
the regular army. The court of claims but
a short tlmo ago allowed him I12.0U0 and
with thla amount and the amount of his
retired captain's pay Captain Geddes feels
that It is about time for him to quit active
work.
For the Inst five years he has been seek
ing a trsiifcfer to some one of the other de
partments of the government which would
permit him to draw his pay as a retired
army officer aa well ns receive the pay of
the position which he filled. In this he

season tomorrow morning will turn South

before Tuesday night, if the advance boasts
of marksmen are to be taken Into con
sideration, an aggregate of several train
loads of chickens will have been sent to the
"happy hunting grounds" of the feathery
tribe.
Chickens are unusually numerous this fall
and some rare sport will be enjoyed by
the hunters. Many eastern men have dur.
Ing the past few days arrived In ths state
for the purpose of participating In the ex
cellent shooting.
Owing to the fact that during the meet
Ing of the legislature last winter the game
law was amended, there has been some
confusion as to exactly what the law now
Is. For the Information of those who are
unfamiliar with Its provisions, it can be
stated that the chief features of the law
as it now stands ars:
It is unlawful for any person not a real
dent of the state to hunt In South Dakota
without a hunter's license, for which he
shall pay 310 to the treasurer of the county
In wBlch the applicant for a license wishes
to hunt.
It is unlawful for any one person to shoot
more than fifteen birds In any one day
The penalty for violating thla provision la

than five nor more than thirty days, or a
