Scriven of Lebanon that the council of that city in placing a tax of $250 on his sweet cider 'business should not refer .to it as bootlegging. The definition of a bootlegger worked out by supreme') court judges, is a person who sells intoxicating liquors on the sly, not from any par-, ticular business location, but carry ing his wares in his bootleg, his pocket, or in some fitting hole-in-the-wall, i - . "Bufwhen a person ) establishes himself in a definite place of business, where, by skillful legerdemain he can sell or pretend to sell the inno cent juice of the apple as well as beer both near and far and other intoxicants, the niceties of the Kansas language designate him as a jointist and no longer in the plebeian class of bootleggers." 1 , You Will Have to Stay Up Late to-See the Eclipse Washington, Jan. 7.

The event will be held at the Boyd theater in Omaha. - A few months ago Plestina, in his broadside ofv promiscuous challenges, included the name of Freddie Beell, but at that time Freddie had visions of becoming a sheriff or a marshal or a constable or some other such of ficer which permits the occupant to wear a glittering and impressive star, and he ignored the defi. But the election didn't go the way Beell's am bitions lay so Freddie decided to( re turn to the wrestling game as a means of earning three squares per diem.

' Bushels of Bad Checks " , ; Return to Business (Wen ' Checks that would fill a bushel bas ket come back to the business firms in Omaha every few weeks because the person who gave the check has no funds or because he chanced to draw a check on the wrong. bank. Three months ago the Associated Retailers of Omaha decided to keep a list of all the checks returned bv the "bank for one reason or another. This was not done with any intention ot bringing any harm to the persons who gave the checks, but for the purpose of making a survey of the situation to see what was the matter. The list is now remarkably large and it is found that the trouble simmers down to two -situations, largely. One; is the rase in which person makes a pur chase in a store and then asks for a blank check to fill out. He forgets to change the heading of the check, and thus issues aicheck on one bank when his account is really in another. The other chief difficulty is that per sons do not keep a close enough rec ord of their check stubs, as compared to their monthly bank balance, and thus write checks after their balance hat been consumed.
