Best Efforts

too much for any chance to be taken in the filling.
A Physician’s Dilemma
A doctor may dislike to tell you where to hike
your prescription, because his motive may be
misunderstood, but he will be satisfied if you
bring it here. Our drugs fall short in nothing;
our compounding is accuracy itself, and our
prices are always as low as they can be.

! GLOBE-TROTTERS
IN FOREIGN LANDS
Four of the World in One Evening ai
Excursion Rates Brought Out a
Host of Tourists Who Found
Traveling Pleasant and
Profitable.
Jules Verne is somewhat obsolete
and out of date, for to use a race
track phrase, he has been “skinned a
mile” and his record of “around the
world in eighty days” has been re
duced to one evening by a whole host
of local tourists, who, aside from
church loyalty and desire to patronize
a worthy cause, found much pleasure
and experience, which is ever profita
ble, in such extensive travels as were
offered Friday evening via the Tourist
Route Railway at the extremely low
round trip rate of fifty cents.
Passengers were not allow'ed any
baggage owing to the extremely low
fare (not table fare, for the service in
that line would have done credit tc
the Fred Harvey management,) thee
not having any custom house officials
and regulations, baggage would have
afforded the tourists too many chances
to hide curios faked from the many
foreign lands touched upon theii
journey.
Trains were scheduled to run out of
the Union station at Hotel Hazel
every half hour, but owing to the
heavy traffic, service became con
gested and a general tie-up was nar
rowly averted early in the evening,
but considering the crowds which
took advantage of the cheap rates,
the regularity and good time made bj
the overland trains was little short oi
marvelous.
Another feature of general com
ment was the politeness and courtesy
of the railroad officials, who would
actually answer questions and con
tribute any other information desired
Conductors Dillard and Hobgood
were both “good fellows,” and.
though excursion rates ueually play
havoc with cash fares, these good
natured “cons” were very accommo
dating, considering it was an off day
for them.
Americans could hardly afford goint;
abroad without having first visited
the national capital. It might be an
other case of Mark Twain’s “Inno
cence Abroad” and the party were
not hunting such experiences. Sc
the tickets made Washington City
the first stop. There we caught a
glimpse of Uncle Sam’s soldier boys
but were hurried through the guards
and ushered into the presence oi
Martha Washington, Mrs. I. D
Price, a very gracious dame of the
colonial style, who, surrounded by
many other American beauties, made
our stay at the White House a very
pleasant one. Refreshments of salads
ham sandwiches, pickles, wafers anc
coffee were served and our patriotisu
aroused by numerous national airs.
With a feeling of pride in and love
for the land of our nativity, we bade
home shores good bye and after £
safe journey, reached that little
country in the far East, which is now
bristling up to the Russian bear.
me approacn to tins Japanese
domicile, the home of Mrs. Wm
Bailey, waB illuminated with lanterni
and the hallway was beautifully anc
appropriately decorated in Japanese
designs, including a heathen god upor
a center table, about whom the trav
elers found seats upon pillows on the
floor. Quite a family of little Japs
assisted in the serving of tea, whicl
proved quite invigorating.
Our next stopover was in German}
at the home of Mrs. W. W. Dutton
where we were no sooner landed thai
besieged by an accordian player in th«
person of Mrs. L. E. Willis, who ex
patiated at length upon what the
Germans bad done and could do, as il
the Kaiser ruled the world, and a*
though we were ignorant of that little
affair in Manila bay, when the immor
tal Dewey, having put an end to tin
Spaniards, put a quietus upon the lit
tle Dutch admiral. Here we feastec
upon pretzels, cheese, and our eyee
upon beer steins, and enjoyed heartil}
the delicacies of a German home.
The next sail covered many thous
and miles and we felt quite relievec
upon a safe arrival after so long t
voyage. Though the sea was storm}
] and the ship rocked, no loss of appe
tite was reported. President Diaz ii
the person of George Stuckey wel
corned the visiting citizens of hii
| Northern neighbor to the home o
Mrs. R. M. Johnson and our stay ii
the sister republic, where stringec
music was furnished by two charminf
Mexican senoritas, Misses Gene Band}
and Jennie McCauley, accompaniec
by Miss Mae Whittaker, was mucl
enjoyed. The fondness of American!
for hot-tamales was amply proven.
The last stop before turning home
ward bound was Italy, the land o
sunshine and flowers, at the home o
Mrs. A. D. Bailey, which had beei
very attractively decorated. Ver;
[ toothsome refreshments of ice cream j
and cake were nicely served and after
| so long a pilgrimage in foreign lands,
! our tickets were turned in for a final
I punch and the homeward voyage was
j made without incident worthy of re
lation in so brief a chronicle.

CHARGES MISREPRESENTATION.
Dbject of Keel Bill Was Not “to Make
Newport a Separate Three-Mile
District” Says Mr. Wilmans
but “to Exclude City From
Privilege of Local
Option.”
Editor of Independent:
Will you allow me space in your
lolumns for a few comments on an
iditorial in the Herald of the 18th inst.
n which Mr. Ward states “the object
>f the Keel bill was to head off this
njustice by making Newport a separ
ite three-mile district.” Now if that
vas the object of the bill why was it
tot so stated in the bill? The editor
if the Herald has certainly never read
,he bill nor Mr. Keel’s reference to
he bill in his speech before the house
if representatives in which he stated,
is follows: “We are told that this act
ivould take away the right of women
tnd children to petition whiskey from
heir homes. The blind tigers are
more alluring and more dangerous to
aoys tban saloons can possibly be.
And we are asking you to save us
from the effects of blind tigers. If
public sentiment should ever change
it would be an easy matter to have
this law repealed.” Does that look
like the object of the bill was to make
Newport a separate three mile dis
trict?
Again, representative Clement in
liis speech against the bill said: “If
lliis act should become a law the peo
ple of Newport could never take ad
vantage of the three-mile law to get
wnisney out or mat city." uoes mat
look like the representatives regarded
he bill as intending to make Newport
t separate three mile district?
Again, when Judge Stuckey was ad
Iressing the Senate committee in
'avor of the Keel bill, and stressing
;he point in regard to Jacksonport
listrict petitioning saloons out of the
jusiness portion of Newport, one of
;he committeemen stopped him and
isked this question: “If Jacksonport
,vas cut off from the Newport district
md not allowed to come nearer than
he corporate line of Newport, would
t be satisfactory?” which question
Judge Stuckey ignored, and went on
with his talk, saying that they wanted
the bill passed as it was. Does that
indicate in the least that the object of
the bill was to make Newport a separ
ate three mile district?
Now Mr. Editor I cannot imagine
how the Editor of the Herald con
ceived such a false idea of this sub
let. As the bill itself and everything
that was said and done in regard to it
show clearly that the whole object of
the bill was to exclude Newport from
the privilege of local option. I can
nee no object in such an editorial un
less it be to try and create sentiment
in favor of the licensed saloon. No
laudable enterprise would want to
succeed by false representation.
Respectfully,
J. E. Wilmans.
