NJEBRASIvA STATE JOURNAL, AVKDNKDAY 31011N1XG, JUNE 8, 1910, Sale commences at 4:15 p. m. sharp, June 8th, today, so as to commemorate the event which occurred just one week ago when our store was entered, doors locked, business suspended, J. E. Biggs, proprietor, arrested and store taken in charge by the honorable Excise Board through their gallant Chief Malone, Officers McGuire and several policemen and plainclothes men.

Mr. Riggs was ordered by Captain McGuire to remain at his office desk while he and his expert cops would complete a search by virtue of a search warrant sworn out by Chief Malone (an officer not bonded or responsible) to seize and take ALL PATENT MEDICINE, spirituous, malt or vinous liquors which contained 18 per cent or more of alcohol. People of Lincoln, imagine if you will the spectacle. Here they were: Mr. Policeman to Mr.

Plainclothes man: "What's this?" Plainclothes Man: me smell it? It smells like Vini-Garlic--but it reads-yHexamethijlena- You taste itl" Policeman: "Not me. I just had an experience. A jug of concentrated ammonia liked to put me out of business. But your right, it's alcohol, 18 per cent. Take it along." For four hours or more, whilst our store was locked and customers clamoring to get in and out to get their prescriptions and medicines, and during the busiest part of day, a loss of over one hundred and fifty dollars in actual sales, we were subjected to this outrageous treatment in the city of Lincoln, state of Nebraska, which boasts of her educational institutions and of being the home of Bryan.

Can you imagine anything more vicious? Why don't they pull ALL the drug stores if it's a crime to have medicinal liquors on hand? Mr. Powell, the Exciseman, after an inspection was made a few weeks ago, congratulated the Riggs Pharmacy Co- on the good showing and remarked: "Yours was better than some others." Then why, tell us, did not Jim Malone raid these other stores. From good authority it's remarked that in the past year certain ex-saloon men have been favored and been permitted to sell, in fact, job out liquors, and without a license or permit. Why this partiality? Does not Jim Malone and the Excise Board know this? And now, in conclusion, in all these raids I never have been convicted "OF SELLING ANY LIQUORS ILLEGALLY. I am a law-abiding citizen and I only asfctfor fair treatment.

Mr. Royse compliments the banks for their promptness in filing reports called for. "In view of the widespread and unusually large investments made in Ipnds and otherwise," he said, "it would be natural to expect an unusual heavy drain on the deposits of the banks of the state. "Such does not seem to have been the case, as the decrease from the statement made February 12, 1910 (the date of the high water mark for deposits in the history of the state), shows about one million dollars, and the increase over a year ago is 54,481.273.45. In the loan item the'increase between this and the previous call is $1.712.131.77, and between this and a similar statement a ago shows an Increase of 760.54.

The fact that this statement is made at tho close of a period marked by unusually heavy investments, the showing is certainly gratify inp. "The average reserve a year ago was 32 per cent at the lost previous call SO per cent, and this statement shows an average reserve of 27 per cent. "The actual cash on hand in the banks is shown by this report to be S4.627,548.82. an increase of almost $200,000 since February 12. 1910.

"The notes and bills redlscounted and bills payable nre S67S.375.4G, an increase of but S11S.164.42 since the February. 1910. report.

State Auditor Barton has announced that the State Farmers' Mutual Hail Insurance company of "Waseca, has no authority to transact business in Nebraska. The company recently asked to be admitted to Nebraska, but the auditor held that the company being a mutual company and having no capital stock cannot be admitted because it cannot comply with the Nebraska state law as to amount of capital stock. After the auditor refused to admit the company he was informed that it was transacting business in many counties in Nebraska, particularly Butler county. Agents who solicit business for an unlicensed company are subject to prosecution, but there is no way to reach a company that transacts business by mail.

"The State Farmer's Mutual Hail Insurance company of "Waseca. applied for and was denied admission to the state of Nebraska," said Auditor Barton. are an unadmitted com- pany aad have no right to transact business in the state of Nebraska.
