Pharmacy Bodrd's Protest, ,It appears that the house committee oh anedical socletfes, sundry laws and regula- tions, which {ntroduced the fesolution re- giting that the State Board of Pharmacy ‘had not submitted its reports and the fees arising from its work for years, and recom- irending that unless 1t comply with the law in this respect within five days after the adoption of thie resolution It be im. Peached, acted under serious misapprehen- wlon. As was pointed out by J. H. Schmidt of Omaha, president of the Board of Ex- aminers in his Interview in The Bee, the resolution is based on false premises from first, t& Jast, President Schmidt and ‘the probably will introduce his bill . test of the decrytary members of the board | are in-the eity In connection with this matter. Besides Mr. Schmidt these men are: C. L. Stillmaa, Columbus; E. L. Wil- a0t “Bt, PHUL W W Ke , “siperior,” «8d'D. J, Fink, Holdrege. They constitute thé Board of Bxaminers for 1903. - ‘The' ‘members of the pharmacy board oper are: The attorney general, secre- tary of state, treasurer. audi‘or and land :ommissioner. The “resoluticn charged that this board Y4d 'made no reports or rendéred no ac- Aofints for years, implying that the moneys ' its hands Dblonged to and should be tirned® over to the state as state funds. \hese charges are not borne out by offi- clul records and the statutes of the state. AW & matter of fact the law provides that it there ‘be any surplus in the hands of ilis board at the end of any year it shall révert to the state treasurer, not as state honey, but to be held in trust to the eredit und for the benefit of the State Board of Pharmacy, so that there is no way in which this board could become Indebted to the state; for in no event does the money aris- ing under its jurisdiction become state money. Furthermore the sixteenth annual report of the Board of Hxaminers and Ne- braska State Board of Pharmacy for 1902 thows that at the end of the year 1901 there WaS an overdraft of §379.43 and that at the cnd of the year 1902 there was a balance tni favor of the bodrd of $79.54, stifl leaving A ‘defielt of $209.89. This report further shows, contrary to the charges of the house committee, that reports and accounts | had been made and rendered to the state through its chief oxecutive. President | Schmidt has in his- possession the letter | which he addressed to Governor Savage | making these accountings and the gov- | ernor's official recefpt of the same. The members of the board do not hesi- tate to say that there is malice back of | the Rouse resolution, but they feel no | doubts at all as to their ability to knock out the resolutions since it is shown that it has no foundation in fact. Oppowe Changes in Law, While In the city the members of this board of examiners are putting in some | elfective work against 8. F. 183, by Shel- don of Cass, and H. R. 282, by Thompson of Merrick (by request), proposing vital changes in the pharmacy laws. The presemt law provides that annually pharmacists claim that this fee maintains their fund with which they prosecute frauds and encroachments upon their prac- tice and profasion and is absolutely in- | despensable. They further contend that this law is eatistactory to nine-tenths of the pharmacists of the state. The Sheldon | bill would repeal this fee law entirely and the Thompson bill cbange it #0 as to exact & fee of but §1 for every three years. Office Holders' Bills Held Up.

He has made frequent visits to the legislature in their interest. The proposjtion embodied in tho bills does not scem to have inspired a great deal of favorable sentiment and the indica- tions are that the whole matter is gning to be knocked out. The opponments of the bills have urged sgainst them that they | contémplate benefits only for a set of offico holders, without offering any substantial good to the general public. H. R. 330 and H. R. 344, the Omaha tax commissioner bill and the revenue bill, may break in upon the house on the same day, Tuesday. And they may not. There | 15 little telling for certain anything about these two important bills. The plan of thy house committee on citles and towns, which has H. R. 330 in charge, Is to present the measure to the houss Tuesdsy. As has been outlined in detail in The Bee, there will be & majority and minority report on this bill and the hope of the minority is to be able to overturn the majority report and thus get the bill on general flle. Unless this can be done there & little hope for the bill. Chalrman Warner of the house revenue committee, which 18 holding up the revenue bill, said today he thought his committes would consent to let go of the measure by | Tuesday, but this s not certain. John N. Baldwin is understood to be exerclsing quite a say-so in the disposition of this bill. | The railroad lobby is still as active as ever and unless the tide changes radically the hand of this powerful organization is golug to be fatally felt in the ultimate outcome of both these measures. This mighty lobby is lined np stronger than ever against H. R. 330 and 1f this bill passes it will ro- quire the most effective fighting which ite friends can put up. .

A grader named John Murphy, some times called Patrick Murphy, who has been | in the employ of Mike Elmore, Thirty-fifth and N streets, South Omaha, was killed by | McGuigan, residing at Twelfth and go streets, about 6:30 Mst evening on the sidewalk beside Charles Loftman's ea- | loon at Fourteenth and Howard streots. | Murphy was stabbed twice, ore wound be- | ing in the left side of the meck behind the car und ranging downward, and the other | was just below the heart. Either probably would have caused death. The killing arose over the result of a drunken quarrel which had no cause. Loftman telephoned for the police and the wagon, with Surgeons Vance and Joungbluth, went to the scene of the stab- | bing and brought Murphy to the police sta- | tion. He was just alive when placed on | the stretcher, but djed before reaching the station. Coroner Brafley took charge of the re- mains and will hold an inquest Monday. McQuigan was arrested by Sergeants Gib- bons and Hayes and Detective Heftfeld at the home of his daughter, 41§ North Thi: teenth strest. Several witnesses of the stabbing were also arrested and will be held for eraminat’on. McGuigan had been in Loftman's saloon during the late afternoon and for at least two hours previous to the quarrel. He was drinking with others in the place. About 4:30 Murphy entered the place with Fred Williams, another grader, with whom he had been epending the time at Odin’s hall on Farnam street. They joined the others, | mostly graders, at the bar. Jim Lowe, a triend of Murphy, was there. McGuigan, from all accounts, was out of money and Is said by John Williams, who was in the sa- loon, to have tried to sell a knife, How the Trouble Started, McGuigan later approached Lowe and asked him for a loan’ This Lowe refused, saying that he had only 35 cents. A quar- rel arose from this and McGuigan struck Lowe in the mouth. Murphy stepped in to stop the quarrel, but Loftman, who was tending bar, ordered them out outside If they were bound to fight. McGuigan and Murphy went out at the side door imme- diately, but the others were slow until they heard the sound of scuffling and heard the cry, “I'm cut.” Onme or two were in time to see the blows struck, but thought that McGuigan was only using his fist. When they all ran outeide Murphy was | Iying on the side¥alk and McGuigan wes running up the street. Loftman telephoned the police that a man was lying on the sidewalk, probably dead. Williams, so he says, and two others started to pursue McGuigan, but he escaped. The police set up a guard over the railway stations and bridges and McGuigan's home. He avoided these and went to his daughter's house, where ‘he was surprised by the officers, who found him eating supper. Sergeant Gibbons opened the door, which was close to the table, and selzed McGuigan's hands from. the_side. Sorgeant Hayes and De~ tective Heitfeld also laid hsnds of the prisongr and he was hreught 1o the patrol box. © ' Those arrested as witnesses are: Jim Lowe, Thomas Daley of the-Douglas Street Lodging houae, Patrick Simbn of 415 South Thirteenth street, Ed O'Donnell of the White. Front saloon, John Willlams and Frank Cie and Richard Garrison of 520 South Thirteenth street. Five of theso have identified McGuigan as the man who fought with Murphy. Statement of Eye Witness. Willlams said: “McGuigan was in the saloon for at least two hours and had been drinking some. We were most all graders and knew each other. McGuigan tried to sell his knife to a fellow called ‘Coal Oil,’ but this man did not want it and gave it back to McGuigan, when he was ordered out by the barkeeper. I saw the knife in his hand when he went out, but could not see what kind it was.” McGuigan had served sentences for burg- larly in Lincoln and Joliet and about three years ago nearly killed George Smith with a knife. He has been arrested numerous times. He was shot by Sherift Milliken in Fremont while attempting to escape ar- rest. He has been In this city about thir- teen years and has worked for the Barber Asphalt company and various other com- panies. The murdered man is not known in this city. He came to South Omaha from Vil- lisca, Ta., and has worked for Elmore since then. He appears to have been a hard working man and was about 35 years old. He probably was unmarried. In a notebook” In his clothing was found an entry which gives the’ residence of his parents as 49 Cottage street, Bast Roston, Mass. The father's name is Richard Mur- phy. —_— FIREDAMP EXPLODES IN MINE ight Hundred Lives Are Despaired | of, but All but Twe Are Rescued.

Husband Has Cause to Remember pe-Nuts, So careless in health are some people that they sometimes actually. forget the bene- factor of thelr days of sickness. The man whose wife, or the woman whose husband has been brought back to health and strength by a pure food s not apt to forget. “It sometimes amuses me," writes a lady of Battle Lake, Minn., “that mno matter what I send to the store for or what may be forgotten my husband never for- gets to supply us with Grape-Nuts promptly. Indeed, 1 may say it Is the one thing he never forgets. *“About a year ago when I began using the food I was so run down and miserable that it was all I could possibly do to struggle through my day's household Cuties. Through catarrhal trouble I had almost entirely lost the sense of taste and loss of appetite followed. I could scarcely force myself to take suf- ficient food to fnrnish me with strength to keep me up, I just managed to scrape through my household duties, In & very short time after I commenced the use of Grape-Nuts I began to get stronger and the improvement has been 50 steady and marked that my health is now better than for twenty years past. I do all of my ewn housework, and for two months during last summer I had five roomers which, of course, increased my work to A great extent. I am never without Grape-Nuts now and can never say enough in thelr praise. But as much as I think of the food my husband thinks more.” Name furnished by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Practically all cases of stomach trouble come from tHe use of improper food. Where this improper food is left off and Grape- Nuts is used the results are so beneficial and the change so rapid that many people look upon it as wonderful. Nothing won- derful about it.

FIRST TRIAL IS IN COUNCIL BLUFFS Afterwards Sentenced (o the Peniten- tiary in Minnesota, Though AN of His Nelghbors Dec! He is Innocent. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 28.;-(Spe- clal.)—One of the hardest fights that was .ever put up by one state against another for the release of a criminal’ had its In- ception in a resolution adopted by the house of representatives yesterda The resolution refers to Thomas R Senter, a man now 65 years of age, a citizen of Scotland county, tried In Council Biuffs for alleged frauds, later convicted of a similar crime at Blue Earth, Minn., and now serving a ten-year sentence in the penitentiary at Stillwater, Minn, The resolution reads as follows: Whereas, Thomas R. Senter, o man about 65 years old, a citizen of Scotland county, this state, was on or about February, 1901 and while a citizen of sald county, tried and convicted at Blue Earth, Minn., on a charge of forgery and sentenced to_im- prisonment in the penitentiury at g:il- water for a term of ten years and three months, and that he is now serving sald sentence in sald prison; and Testify to High ¢ Whereas, It further appears to that sald petition is signed by m zens of high character and known Integrity who have known Senter intimately for years, and that citizens, petitioners, attest to the high character of said Benter as an honest and upright man; and Whereas, It further appears froia sald petition presented that the said pe tloners belleve in the complete innocence of the sald Senter, and that he In justice ought to be released from said prison; therefore be It Resolved, That the governor and the at- torney gereral of the state be hereby au- thorized and requested to Intercede in be- nalf of Thomas R. Senter with the gov- ernor and Board of Pardons of the state of Minnesota, and to take such steps as are necessary to secure such additional evi- dence as s necessary to show the true status of the case and establish his inno- cence in the mind of the Board of Pardons of Minnesota First T Blufts, The case of Senter has attracted more than usual attentlon. Néarly all of north- east Missouri and western Iowa have been interested in the strange circumétances that resulted fo his final lncarceration in the penitentiary of Minnesota for & term of ten years and three montbs. Petitions bave been circulated, letters written, lawyers employed and everything done to save him trom imprisonment Three or four years 8go a gang of forgers operated In the northeastern part of the state. Forged deeds were used to borrow money on deeds of trust. More than one firm was fleeced. Lougee Bros. of Council Bluffs were among the victims. Another firm was situated in Blue Farth, Minn. Still another in Illinols. So glaring did the frauds become that, it is claimed, even the perpetrators became alarmed at their work. Mr. Senter had been a resident of Memphis, Mo., for sey eral years, In the same community lved fed in Council E. R. Bartlett, a real estate agent.
