THE PROFIT IS ALLURING.
Temptation Is Too Great for Makers
of MOOnshine whisky to Turn
Their Backs On.

Were it not for the large tax imposed
by the government upon the manufac-
ture of ardent spirits there would pc
no such thing as "moonshining. An
old revenue officer who has had years
of active experience in raiding stills
and capturing blockaders, who has had
many a battle with the outlaws and
heard the bullets from their guns whis-
tie past him, who has often crouched
behind rocks and stood behind trees
and who has done his share in trying
to stamp out the miscreants, said a few
days ago In speaking Of blockaders and
moonshine whisky:
81 have been a revenue officer for
about % or 30 years and have seen all
kinds Of service under all kinds of cir
cumstances, and don't believe block
aiding or Illicit distilling will ever be
stopped. The reason for my belief land
| am not the only one) Is simply this:
There is such large profit In the
business that the temptation Is too
great for most of that class Of people,
regardless of the law, not needing what
has befallen fellow moonshiners. Even
forgetting that they have once been
caught or suspected and that the eyes
of the officers are on them, they go
right ahead and distill the grain. But
at the same time they are on the look
out for raids and have their guns ready
to send a piece Of lead into their dis
coverer. They are good shots, too,
hardly missing when they have fair
opportunity to take aim.
IT will give you an idea Of how
cheaply moonshine whisky is made and
the immense profits that are reaped
from its SALE They take one gallon Of
cheap black molasses, which costs
about 80 cents; two bushels Of meal,
costing 65 cents per bushel, and some
water. This is made into a mash, al
lowed to ferment and the stuff then
goes through the process Of evapora- |
ton. This amount Of meal, water and
molasses makes 40 gallons Of whisky, |
which is sold for 81 gallon. Anyone
can see the immense profit from this
illustration.
"Latterly brown sugar has been used
instead of molasses and is a great deal
cheaper. The sugar costs about AZ
cents a pound; there are 300 pounds in
a barrel, making 1t cost $3.50 per bar
rel. An immense amount Of molasses
is made from barrel of sugar and the
profit is almost twice as great as In US"
ing the first method. Distillers are
captured every day, and when they are
sent to prison others take their places
and thus the perpetual flow OF white
Iightning.'

ROBBERS.

IF a robber should
meet you with a pis-
tol in your face and
say "ThrOw up your
hands," you would
have a chance to
fight. If you should
lose, only the yalu-
ables on your person
could be taken.
When fire attacks
a mans house he is
robbed of everything.
Man cannot insure

against fire. If you

Shoes for Women.

The woman who has been aecus-
toned to wearing thin-soled shoes will
find the heavy ones a bit tiresome at
first, but she must persevere. Except
IN very wet weather overshoes are
among the impossibilities. No wom-
an In overshoes ever looks pretty or
graceful. Calfskin shoes not only keep
your feet warm and comfortable, but
they will keep your nose from getting
red and will preserve your health

lie would make no statement today
except to say that the bank had been
closed by order of the Washington
authorities. The bank did not open
today, the finances having been found
70 be in an unsafe condition.
The suspension came as a great sur
prise to the general public which had
not suspected any trouble.
1t is declared on good authority that
the suspension is due to inability to
collect certain notes, that the assets
of the bank largely exceed the de-
posits and that it is probable that the
depositors will be paid in full. 1t is
understood that measures have been
taken during the past few months to
strengthen the resources of the bank.

SPEAKERS
Will Make an Effort To Cut
Down Majority.

New York, Aug. l9.-The Times says
EdwardlM. Shepard was a caller at
Rosemount Wednesday by appoint
ment. He had long conference with
the nominee with particular reference
to his work for the ticket and the moral
effect oflreduced Republican pluralities
in Vermont and Maine at the state
elections to be held some weeks before
November s.
In discussing his conference with
Judge Parker Mr.. Shepard said: II re-
gard these early elections in Maine and
Vermontsas serving to give as good
an indication of the general trend as
we can obtain. 1t is my intention to
take the stump in these two New Eng
land states and do all | can to bring
about reduction in the pluralities
which the Republicans generally secure
in them. understand Mr.. Cochran
will campaign with me.
"We all know that Vermont, and
Maine are rockbed Republican states,
but with theSproper work done there
the returnssonsthe state elections will
be such that theI Democrats of the
country willEfeel encouraged.

Up" said:
chairman Taggart has thought
better of his purpose to let the Septem-
ber election in Vermont and Maine go
by default. The national committee
will send speakers to both those states
and cooperate with the local organi-
zations in getting out the full Demo
cratic vote.
"This is simply common sense. If it
is worth while for President Roosevelt
to send members of his cabinet and
other Republicans of national reputa-
tion to those states, which are perfectly
sure to give large Republicanmajorities
in any event, it is surely worth while
for the Democrats to make a cor
effort to break the moral
effect of too-sweeping Republican vic
tories,

JURY DID
NOT AGREE
William Allen Tried For Furnish
ing Liquor.

A case that attracted much attention
was tried before Justice E. ID. Barber
in the county clerks Office Friday af-
ternoon and evening. 1t was state VS.
William Allen who was charged with
furnishing liquor contrary to law.
There was quite a large number OF
witnesses to be examined and Allen
called for a trial by jury, which hegot.
E. E. Hart, Thomas Morrissey, Clar-
ence Chandler, George Heath and John
Brant served.
1t was claimed that Allen furnished
liquors, beer mostly, to people who
frequented his house, but none testified
that he sold it. The former fact was
brought out during the recent trial of
one Laughlin, who was tried and fined
for intoxication. Allen himself testi-
fed that he was in the habit of receiv-
ing from three to five cases of lager
beer every week and it was free to any
one that visited his house, and always
stood in handy place. He had also
purchased some hard stuff, but simply
to have in the house in case ga friend"
should become sick.
His counsel in speaking to the court
and jury asked for the discharge of his
client, for the reason that If convicted,
the town would have to take care OF,
his family, as he had nothing which
he could leave towards helping them
provide for themselves. The justice
expressed surprise that man who
could purchase beer and give it away,
ought to be able to provide for his
own family.
1t was late in the afternoon when
the jury received the case and after an
hours deliberation, they returned to
court and reported that they could not
agree. The court charged additional
on some points and sent out again.
After going out the third time, they
came in again ard reported that twas

DARLING ON
USING WINE
For the Launching of New
BattIeship.
c. E. SOCIETY OPPOSED
Assistant Secretary Thinks No
Possible Harm Can Come
From Custom
c. E. SOCIETY OPPOSED

Despite the protest of the Christian
Endeavor societies of Connecticut, the
traditional bottle of wine will be brok-
en- across the prov of the battleship
Connecticut, when she is launched at
the New York Navy Yard next month.
On behalf of the societies, II. Il.
Spooner of Kensington, Conn, for
warded to the Navy Department a
number of petitions, requesting that
wine be not used at the function but
that there be used in its stead water
from the Connecticut hills.
In reply, Assistant Secretary Chas
II. Darling sent "a letter, saying that
while he has great respect for the
cause and for the organization he is
unable to reach the writer's conclus-
ions.
''If the youth of the country are mis-
led, it is not by the ceremony of
breaking wine upon the iron prov of
battleship," he said, "but because
they follow false prophets, and if such
use of wine is questionable to others
and offensive to many it is because
Of EVIL to him who evil thinks"
He then says that it is inconceiyable
that the breaking of bottle of wine
upon the Connecticut can injure her.
1tcannot work the slightest injury
to any man.
The cause of temperance would be
better served if more of the worlds
product of wine were spilled over
board to wash the hull of battleships.
Wine thus expended can neither i'm
peril the soul nor contribute to the
cup of human sorrow.
