How the Liquor Traffic s'Helps' the
Farmer.

"Why should a farmer be a Prohibition
list. when the liquor business helps him
by buying his grain?" asks a Western
farmer. Helps him, does it? See how
4 farmer sells a bushel of corr for IA
cents. A distiller buys it and makes
from it Sc gallons Of whisky. The
Government taxes this 1924 to begin
notwithstanding that amount from cir
culation and piling it up IN the Treasury
vaults. The wholesale retail dealers
oct their phenomena profits, and then
fhe consumer pays $40 for it, and makes
his wife and children go without anything
tn eat or wear IN order to keep up the
market for that farmers one bushel of
corr at IA cents!
This may lie good political economy,
h,t f. is difficult to see how the farmer
is Going to get rich at it.-Ihc Voice.

A story of Dishonesty in Connection with q
Barbed Wire Failure.

A Story of Dishonesty in Connection with a
Barbed Wire Failure.
A Chicago morning paper says that the
details of q fraud in. connection with the
failure in 1887 of the great barbed wire
manufacturers, Sherman & Marsh, has
just come to light. It appears that Eben
j. Marsh, managing partner of the firm,
seeing that the failure was inevitable,
laid his plans to deceive the credit
ors, and to feather his own
nest. He entered into q conspiracy
with Charles H. Lane. a New York broker,
to make it appear that he, Marsh, was
specializing heavily in stocks. Marsh
then bought up as much wire on credit as
he possibly could, stored it in warehouses
and borrowed money on the receipts. In
this way he got together about $15O,O0o.
This was placed in Lanes hands to be
held for Marsh, until the failure of the
firm. For his services Lane was to get
1925, 900. When the failure Of the firm
was announced, Marsh confessed to
the creditors that he had been speculat-
ing in stocks and showed re-
caipts from Lane to prove his assertion.
While this was being investigated Lane
took all of the $15O,OC0 and left the II
try. Marsh followed him to Europe but
hs was unable to find him. In the mean
time the creditors of the firm put detectives
on Lanes track, and it is understood they
have found him and induced him to give
ND $75, 900. Marsh was also taken in hand
by the creditors and compelled to turn over
to them 1925, 600, which he had realized on
some Chicago real estate. Marsh is nov
said to be q salesman for a lumber firm. IN

Fixing Up u Brazilian Government.
The provisional government having de-
creed all the great popular measures SO
long demanded by the people, such as the
abolition of slavery (forced from the i'm
perial government in 1855, the separation
of the church from the state, the freedom
OF the PRESS, the liberty of worship, the
secu!arlzation of public cemeteries, the
naturalization of foreigners, etc.. it is now
trying to avoid the danger and %inconven-
fence that attended the adoption of the
American constitution. The mon now al
the head of affairs desire to begin whera
the United States finished, and SO
take advantage of American expert
ence. For this reason they have nomin-
ated q number of we'll known specialists to
frame q constitution which is to be pre-
sented to a constituent assembly. The
work of registering voters (all men of q
years of age that know how to read and
write) is being pushed rapidly. The
trainers hope to present o constitution as
much like the American constitution as is
consistent with the character of the Bra
lillian people. 1t will then be submitted
to a direct vote Of the people. 1t is al
ready partially completed. 1t declares
the ifatherland one and indivisible. The
republic is composed of states, federal
districts, provinces and territories.
Its government is representative,
federal and republican. Each state shall
be governed by its own laws and the fed
eral government shall interfere only for
the purpose of guaranteeing o republican
form of government, the sanction of the
sentences of the federal courts and in case
of rebellion. The provinces are to be
regularly organized political bodies that
require pecuniary assistance from the fed
eral government. The territories are the
unorganized or uninhabited parts of the
republic. The federal districts will con-
slst of ally municipality that may be
chosen for a federal capital.
The most important recent event was
the resignation in a body of the Rio Jan
Giro municipal %intendency in consequence
of the decree subjecting certain of theil
acts to the approval of the government
The new intendent, headed by DIR. Amar>
aru, has made an excellent impression b.
suspending the code of municipal law
framed by the old board and which ha'
given great dissatisfaction.
Secretary of State Blaine has sent cir
culars to all the ministers and consuls

that Diseased Meat.

The fact that tuberculosis was discov-
cred ia eight hogs killed at Wits
slaughter house. in North Minneapolis,
has created something Of a stir among
the butchers and others interested in
the matter. Yesterday number of
experts and Prof. SchWartZkopf visited
the slaughter house TO inspect the hogs
which had been condemned by Mr..
Wits inspector. Unlike trichina, the
disease is not at all local, but affects all
parts of the carcass. Meat Inspector
Davies said that his department had
discovered several cases of tuberculosis
before, and that the disease was not
uncommon in the Northwest. ''These
hogs" said Mr.. Davies, "came either
from Anoka or Ramsey counties, ana
therefore the seat of the disease is not
within our jurisdiction. We have notl-
fed the state board of health of the ex-
istence of the disease. and it is the duty
of that body to follow up the case" 1t
is due to Mr.. Witt to state that one of
his inspectors discovered the disease
and then the city inspector was notified.

CHASED THE REFEREE.
Drunken TOughs Break Up a
Prize Fight.

CINCINNATI. o., May "a crowd of
Toughs left Cincinnati about midnight
tonight in furniture wagons. and
rode on to the village Of Groes-
beck, about nine miles from this
city. The crowd consisted Of
friends of two local lIght-weights,
George Dufey and Tommy Burke. who
were TO engage in a prize fight. Upon
reaching Groesbeek, the saloons were
thrown open and the entire party soon
became very drunk, and virtually took
possession of the town. These drunken
brawlers then went to the house of
resident of Groesbeck and demanded
the use OF his barn. Permission being
refused. the doors were forced and
ring formed. and even the owner was
denied admittanee. In the prize fight
which now took place, the crowd inter
fered in all but one round and as the
feeling seemed to be mainly in favor of
Burke. Dufey's friends slipped him
away, fearing that he might be dam
gerOusly hurt. After Dufey had
gone, Burke's friends demanded of
the referee that he give the fight to
Burke. The referee refused to do this,
and was pursued by the drunken crew,
armed with knives and pistols. Wiser
counsel, however, prevailed and a riot
was prevented.

A Knosry Point.

1t Is seldom that lawsuits are held
over the possession of heavenly bodies.
and 1t is doubtful if there is anything
in the statutes that provides for decI-
sion in such matters, but such suit Is
pending at Forest City, To-, over the
possession of large chunk of meteor
purchased from a farmer by Prof.
Winchell, of the university. The pro-
lessor had some little difficulty in pur-
chasing his prize, having to outbid
competition. Then he wheeled it in a
barrow with his own hands to the ex-
press office at Forest City, but before
Its departure it was levied upon by an
attachment procured by the man who
rents the farm to the farmer from whom
Prof. Winchell purchased it. The point
at law IS, who has the right to sell the
gift from heaven. the farmer or the land
owner? The suit will come to trial
