The CannY Scot.

In an English railway compart-
ment two travellers were seated, an
American and a keen eyed old
Scotchman.
When the guard came to take up
their tickets the latter had great
difficulty in locating his. He kept
the official waiting SO long while he
rummaged through his many peck
cts that the ticket taker went on his
way, saying he would come back to
find out the result of the search.
When the guard had gone the
American saw the lost piece OF
pasteboard protruding from the old
fellows mouth and promptly mott,
fed its owner, thinking it was CASE
of observation-disclosures.
Whereupon the willy Scot rejoin-
ed:
"Don't you think | know it? But
the tickets a month old, and I'm
a-suckin' off the date"

THE VALUE OF BEER.
The Essentials of Quality and
HeaItbfulness

Experience has shown that tt e
prime requisites OF a really Good
Beer are three in number
superiority of the materials.
treatment in the brewing and
proper maturing or: aseing be-
fore marketing.
Perhaps the first of mportance
is the nature and character of
the materials used. The An
heuser- Busch Brewing Ass n,
whose product, BJDWElSER,
has come to he considered as a
standard from which Beer
Quality is to be judged, have
found that materials Of the very
highest quality only can re used,
if really Good Beer is to result.
They have found also, that of all
materials permissi BILE in brewing,
only the best quality Barley
Malt, the choicest grade of Hops,
superior quality Yeast, with
perhaps a small percentage of
the best Rice can be depended
upon to produce a Beer of the
highest degree of quality, favor
and palatability.
This Association confirms what
is generally ad mitted among
brewers that to produce a Beer
of excellence, expensive modern
methods of brewing must be fol.
lowed and the most rigid sanitary
precautions observed at all
stages. Cleanliness, Purity and
careful Sterilization are con-
sidered vitality essential by them
in com mon with all good brewers.
AnheuSer Busch also contends
that the exquisite flavor and az.
knowledyed healthfulness of
Budweiser is to be attributed, to
a great extent, to their extreme
care in maturing and ageing.
Their storage capacity of over
100000 barrels makes it unneces-
sary for them to market their
product until properly aged, and
in consequence it possesses to
the greatest degree the quality,
mellowness and flavor which has
caused Bud weiser to be termed
by those who know, s'The King
of Bottled Beers.

BOOTY IS
RECOVERED.
Portion Of Goods Stolen Fri
day Night Found Hidden
in Steamboat.
IDENTITY OF ROBBERS STILL
UNKNOWN TO POLICE.
Discovery of Gouds Made BY
Charles Schroeder, Engineer
on Beat.

A portion Of the goods stolen
Friday night from the O'Leary &
Bowser store and the Berman
Emporium were discovered yes
terday afternoon hidden in the
Columbia, a steamboat which
was operated on Lake Bemidii
during the summer and which
is now beached near the M. & I.
depot.
The discovery was made by
Charles Schroeder, who acted as
engineer on the boat during the
season. He went down to look the
boat over yesterday afternoon
and in making an inspection of
the vessel found the booty hid
den in the bow of the boat, un-
derneath the deck, where the rob.
bers had evidently secreted it,
intending to return and take it
away at some future time.
. Schroederim Immediately notified
the police of the finding of the
goods and the latter took them
from the hiding place. The goods
were identified by those from
whom they were stolen and we're
taken back to the stores.
The Berman Emporium re.
covered all the goods taken from
that establishment by the rob-
bers, but only about half of what
was taken from the O'Leary &
Bowser store was returned. The
goods returned to the latter es-
tablishment consisted of one
mans cloth overcoat, one pair
rubbers, three pairs mlttens,
one pair sox, one sweater, one
pair trousers, two ladies' fur
coats, two suit cases, three teIe.
scope grips and one case silks.
Two fur lined overcoats and q
quantity of silk goods are still
missing. -
AS yet the police, although
they have made vigorous efforts,
have been unable to gain a clue
as to the identity Of the robbers.
They have no adequate descrip-
ton by which to identify the
men, and it seems that the rob-
bers have made good their escape.
The secreting Of the goods in
the city, however, leads to the
belief that the robbery was COM
mitted by local men, and it is
possible that future develop.
ments will lead to their arrest.
