gent farmers. Nearly all of the state
legislators and large roportion of
the congressman of the future are
going to come from the farms. Our
advice to young men reared on the
farm is to try and stay there. The
bulk of the wealth of this country is
going to consist of farm property.
The happiest class in the future, as in
the past, will be found upon the farms,
and the farm is still going to be the
best mandatory of brains in the
world.-Thomas Shaw in N. w. Ag4i-

GRAIN MEN ACCUSED.
David n. Stuhr and Two En-
pIoyes Indicted for Color
ing Barley.
THE LATTER ARE UNDER ARREST
Elevator Owner is a Davenporter
..Officers Are After
Him.

David II. Stuhr, of Davenport,
owner of the Hawkeye elevator at
West Hamm ond, Ill, and Frank Moth,
of Hammond, Ind, and Gus Brussel,
of West Hammond, ILL.,, respectively
superintendent and engineer of the
Hawkeye elevator, were indicted yes
| terday in Chicago by the grand jury
for coloring grain. The two last
named were arrested yesterday after
noon by Deputy Sheriff Solomon, who
took them to Chicago and lodged them
in the county Jail. Stuhr, the owner
of the elevator, and the alleged insti-
gator Of the crime, has not yet been
arrested, though capias has been is
sued against him.
Attorney Hsynie K. Pearson, of
Chicago, who has charge of the cases
against the c men, said last night:
Previous TO 1877, when n state
law was enacted against it, the prac
tice of coloring grain, principally bar
ley, was widely prevalent, but as soon
as it was made criminal offense I'M
scrupulous grain dealers who had
practiced it gave it up.
Old Practice Renewed.
..Of late, however, it has been
again resorted to, aud this is the first
indictment that has been returned
under the statute.
TO the uninitiated 'doctored bar
ley has little significance, but the
crime of so treating grain is n serious
one. 1t is not only a fraudulent
lint 70 hn
health of the community. The dis
tinguishing feature of first quality
barley is the color. 4 ligh. straw
color indicates irst-class grain. In
ferior barley is of dark color. 1t
was found many years ago that by
subiecting barley to the fumes of
sulphur the color would be lightened.
and thus poor quality of the grain
could be made to appear much better
than it really WAS, and could be sold
in many cases for first quality goods.
Barley so treated. if used for food, is
deleterious 10 the health, in addition
to being a fraud upon the persons
who buy it for tirst-class grain"
II is claimed most of the grain
alleged to have been doctored by
Stuhr was shipped east, but some
was disposed of on the board of trade
in Chicago.
Mr.. Stuhr told Davenport reporter
last night he would 90 to Hammond
today to be arrested. He states that
his purifying process has been shown
by analysis to improve the barley and
that the criminal proceedings against
him are instigated by competitors and
not by customers.

OFFICER UNCONSCIOUS
PARTY TO A THEFT

Officer Golf today located the tools
belonging to r. z. Cox, which were
taken from the new c.. b. Il q depot
Saturday night. They had been
taken by Carl and Ray Clough and
were found at their home on Twenty
third street. A peculiar circum-
stance connected with the affair is the
fact that Officer Golf was an uncon-
scious party to the affair. While on
his beat Saturday evening he saw the
two boys hauling the heavy tools on
cart and pulled them out of tight
place in which they became stuck.
The boys said they had been hired to
move the tools. When the officer
heard of the theft he became suspi
cious and made an investigation.
