Everybody does! But not every
one gets them as pure as
those who patronize our store.
Perhaps we are a bit "cranky"
about the purity of everything
we sell. Might make more money
if we substituted some harmless
substances for high priced drugs,
but as human life depends on the
quality of our preparations we
nell only the best.

SEIZED THE MQUOtiL
Over a Hundred (saltans of it
Seized at the Depot. Mr
There was a little scene at the Q.
depot last Saturday afternoon about 2
o'clock, the principal actors being
Mayor Woodard, Marshal Beneliel, and
deputy sherifl Kehler.
For a long time there has been
practically no restraint on the shipping
of intoxicating liquors to parties in Leon
and the surrounding country. Scarcely
a day has passed but what there has been
one or more liquor salesmen in Leon
taking orders. There are also several
local agents who do nothing for a living
but take orders for liquor.
Almost every train that comes to Leon
has had a consignment of liquor and in
a great many cases the orders were
taken and the liquor shipped C. O. D.
by express, the party receiving it pay
ing the express agent when he got the
goods. This is held to be a violation of
the law, and Mayor Woodard decided
to put a stop to the traffic, so Marshal
Benefiel swore out a search warrant to
search the office of the Adams Express
Company at tne depot. When the
raid was made there were about a hun
dred boxes found which contained gal
lon and two gallon jugs of whiskey
which were marked C. O. D. and they
were hauled to the jail and locked up.
Many more had been taken out before
the raid was made. The liquor seized
was only that which came C. O. D. as
under the kw the officials are powerless
to prevent liquor being shipped in which
is bought in other states. The trial of
the whiskey is set for next Tuesday be
fore Justice Beck, and the express com
pany has been notified to appear and
show cause why it should not be de
stroyed
Tne action of Mayor Woodard is
heartily endorsed by all, law abiding
citizens. It is said there are more
whiskey traveling men who come to
Leon than grocerymen, and the Mayor
proposes to see if a stop can not be put to
the business. He has also notified the
restaurants that they must not allow
parties to drink liquor in their rooms.
The seizure of the liquor put a
decided stop to the drunkennessiand
rowdyism which existed in this town
for three days a year ago. Saturday
night the streets were deserted instead
of being filled with drunken men and
boys, and the officials had no trouble.
The outcome of the trial over the
liquor will be watched with interest.
