FOUND a MOoNsHINE PLANT.
Secret DistiIIery Discovered in Kansas
City, Kansas.

fire caused by an explosion of leaking
gas led to the discovery of a newly
equipped distilling plant at AZ South
Park street, yesterday. The Still was
finished yesterday morning. An exam
nation by the firemen showed that an
attempt had been made to tap the gas
feed pipe back of the meter attachment
so that the increased consumption from
the operation of the still would not be
registered The work was clumsily
done and the gas leaked and caught
fire
The police confiscated the ''moonshin-
ing apparatus. All the parts are of
home manufacture. A beer key and
gas heating stove comprised the boiling
and distilling parts. The worm" was
coiled by hand out of a Quarter-inch
pipe.
Nc one was in the house when the fire
started and no liquor was found there.

FIRST SURPLUS IN THREE YEARS.
Chicago. Peoria & Western Has Bal
ance on Right Side.

Chicago, Sept 20.-The annual re-
port of the Chicago, Peoria & Western
railroad shows for the first time in
three -ears a surplus. 1t is true this
surplus is only $1,672, but that looks
better than a deficit of $21, 641, as II
was in 1906 or S32,S72 in 1905.
According to E. NJ. Armstrong, pres
ident of the company, the surplus is
due to the reduction of expenses ana
increase in tonnage. Mr.. Armstrong,
however, does not view the prospect
with optimism, and is especially bitter
against the 2-cent passenger rate law
This, he insists, will work a great
hardship on the road
