K01THE DflOGGlSIS
Convention at New "Dim the Best At
tended of Any Held by
', ' Association.
President Eckstein Would Have the
Standard Raised for All Phar
macy Students.
Special to The Journal. f -
New Ulm. Minn.7 June 3fi.The Minnesota
State Pharmaceutical Association, which opened
Its nineteenth aunual meeting'"In this city tor
tiny. Is composed of some of the brightest men
In the state. The meeting this year is better
attended than ever before. This Is due in a
large-'measure to the'fact that the president,
Andrew J. Eckstein, has put forth a stroug ef
fort In'the way of personal letters and appeals.
In connection with the druggists, the Traveling
Men's Auxiliary lias Its. meeting here* and that
brings a large number of the jolliest men In the
state, with their wives and daughters, Into the
city. This part of the meeting has arranged
., ANDREW J. ECKSTEIN.
Prest State Pharmaceutical Association.
to have a series of sports and games for to
morrow that has not had Its equal in this place.
There are attending the two meetings about 600
persons, besides many that the cheap rates have
brought in who have no connection with the as
sociation. , - -
The chief business this afternoon was the or
ganization of the convention. At 2 o'clock the
president called the meeting to order in the
theaeer at-Turner hall and Introduced Mayor
Charles Wesehcke, who in a short address wel
comed the visitors. Mr. Eckstein then deliv
ered him annual address, in which the chief ar
gument was for unity. "While we are crying
loudly for unity of druggists," he said, "It is
well to Include the physicians in the combina
tion, thereby giving the assurance of added
strength and more satisfactory results." His
plea is that the physicians should work with
the druggists for mutual purposes and benefit.
He referred to the fact that the course of med
icine in the schools has been increased by the
addition of two years. He says: "When a
student enters a medical school he is required
to have a four years' course of high school
training and four years In some recognized col
lege, an advantage of eights years over a phar
macy student. This gap is widening. From
eight years it will go to ten, and keep on widen
ing unless we insist on the standard being raised
tor pharmacy students." He considers the call
ing of pharmacists to be as important as that of
the physjcian. and his education, as essential.
Speaking of the college of pharmacy, he said:
fit ft" affiliated Tvfth ttte best interests of our
state society' and deserves more than passing
notice. Under the able management of Profes
sor F. J. Wulling, it has gained the distinction
of being raised to a position that graces the
educational institutions of Minnesota. In its
Infancy it was hampered by lack of room and
poor equipment. Notwithstanding its early dis
advantages it has advanced steadily until it
is now classed with the best in the country, and
I doubt if it has a superior anywhere. In-spite
of its high standing, however, its worthy dean
asserts that he will carry, it still higher, and
that his ambition is to see this school progress
rapidly nntil there is no, doubt as to its place
at the head of American colleges of this kind.
Mr. Eckstein spoke with regret of the slight
that has been put on the institution by students
who have, sought an education in the schools of
other states, and appealed to the druggists to
satisfy themselves as to the standing of the
school and endeavor to have their clerks get their
education there.
Mr.'Eckstein would like to have a law created
compelling druggists to become members of the
state association by virtue of the state license,
holding it is not right that a few of the associa
tion seenre all the advantages that the drug
gists of the state have and those who are out
of.it secure the benefit without contributing to
the expense. He
f FOR MURDER OF EBERLEIN
First of State's Witnesses In the Ronk
Case Sworn at Blue.Earth.
BLUE EARTH, MINN.At the trial of Pert
Ronk for murder. Deputy Coroner Holm of Wells
was the first witness for the state. He testified
to the condition in which he found the bodv
In the boat on his arrival at Walnut Lake.
According to his evidence the bullet entered
the body Of Eberleih at a point a little to the
right of the navel, followed an inward and down
ward course, striking the spine, severing the
large artery which supplies the lower part of the
body with blood, and stopping in the pelvic
eavity. The-loss of blood would cause practically
Instant death.
The clump of three black cherry trees behind
which Ronk. might have stood while doing
the shooting was located and described. Other
bnllet marks on other trees were testified to,
showing that several shots had been fired, the
first, of which would evidently have struck
behind where the boat was found.
Charlie Klingbell, a neighbor, and the one
who discovered the boat with the body in it,
was the next witness, and his description of the
surronndings practically tallied with that given
by the deputy coroner. The boat was pointing
northwest toward land, in water about a foot
deep, caused by teh overflow of the creek, about
fifty feet from shore and about 160 feet from
the bank from which direction the shots came.
Behind was open water. Witness told of finding
the boat, of seeing a dead man in it, and

TUESDAY EVEHUTG,
NEW ULM DRUGGISTS WHO ARE ENTEETAINING THE STATE |lOWA
MEETING OF PHARMACISTS
of going after the rest of the party before
golug out to the boat.
0. M. Graham, who lives near Walnut Lake,
five miles from the scene of the tragedy, was
the nest witness. He testified to the location
of the different trees, those behind which the
tracks and empty shells were found, and those
which had been struck by bullets. He had dug
out one bullet from u tree and the same was
offered In evidence. His testimony showed that
from any point close to the clump of three
trees behind which Ronk is supposed to have
stood, the bullets which struck tm? trees marked
would have struck at gradually lessening dis
tances behind the boat, according to Its staked
location.
He was followed by Sheriff George Freer, who
brought Into court the gun with which the
shooting had been done, a 32-20 Winchester re
peater. Freer's testimony merely followed the
lines of the other witnesses in describing the
scene of the crime.
He told of finding the first bullet mark in the
tree, of lining it up with the boat and fol
lowing it back thru an opening in the timber
line to the clump of three black cherry trees.
Here In a space about four feet square were
found seven empty shells. The testimony also
showed that the boat was headed for the only
land that was near, and that for some distance
over which it had come it was in plain view
from the clump of three trees, the only ob
structions being the trunks of other trees. The
distance from the boat to this clump of trees
has since been measured and found to be 280
feet.
Mrs. Mary C. Whipple, wife of Frank Whipple
and mother-in-law of Ronk, was then called to
identify the rifle offered in evidence by the
state. Deputy Sheriff Tom .Oren of Wells then
testified to having gone for this gun, to receiv
ing it from Mrs. Whipple, taking it to Wells
and delivering it to the sheriff. The rifle, the
loaded and the empty shells were then offered
in evidence.

Exasperating Situation at Dubuque Street
Cars Stoned by Sympathizers.

account of the ttrike of its motormen and con

and the teamsters will strike if their employers
insist that they haul for any of the firms that
the Dubuque Trades and Labor Congress have
boycotted.
The Dubuque,Trade*! and Labor Congress
adopted resolutions -yesterday condemning the
action of Mayor Berg in swearing in the strike
breakers as police officers. The congress con
tends that the mayor has no power to swear in
citizens"of another state, who come here to re
side temporarily, as officers. The strikers hint
that the mayor Is in sympathy with the Union
Electric company because his son, a grocer, has
been boycotted by the congress for supplying
the Hotel Jullen and Merchants hotel, which
have been boycotted by the congress.
So many business men of Dubuque have been
boycotted by the Trades and Labor Congress
for riding on the cars, that they are talking of
forming an association to protect their business
interests against the onslaughts of strike sym
pathizers.

the wall, and while two men stood guard the
third rifled the cash register of Its contents,
amounting to about $20. The pockets of the
victims were then gone thru by the highwaymen
and three watches secured. One a gold timepiece
belonging to the proprietor of the saloon, was
worth $150, while the other two were silver
watches.
The robbers proceeded with coolness and dis
patch and every drawer in the saloon was in
i spected.
While the robbers were preparing to take their
departure the mask of the leader slipped from
his face and for a moment the man's features
were exposed to view. A good description of the
robber was given the police and soon after an ar
rest wag made of the suspect in the Butte concert

HEDENA, MONT.Chief Justice Brantley de
livered the opinion of the supreme court in the
case of Anna Dahlman against Emil Dahlman
from a decision of the district court for Jeffer

as the widow of Henry Dahlman for the purpose
of having alloted to her her dower rights In the
estate of her husband.
The estate consisted of a large amount of real
and personal property, a portion of the real
estate being in mines which at the time of Dahl
man's death and since that time have been pay

that source amount to $4,664, and are now in
the hands of the administrator.
