Jewelry Thieves Caught.

With large part of the stolen
goods in their possession, Anton
Dusman, Jr., aged 26, and Charles
Marie, aged %, were arrested at
Moberly, Mo-, last Thursday, by the
chief of police of that city. The
crime for which these young men
were apprehended was the burglariz-
ing of the jewelry store of Swan 81
Oct. Sd, and taking therefrom of
81, 600 worth of jewelry. The sheriff S
Office and the police officials at once
suspected Dusman when the crime
was first discovered. Marie was not
suspected for some days later. Part
of the stolen goods were in a hand
bag and part in grip they had with
them, about $500 worth in all. The
other one-third or one-half they had
sold for any old price to get some
thing to eat. Deputy Sheriff Finuf
and Geo. Parker departed Friday for
Moberly, and got back with their men
and the goods Monday morning, and
lodged the culprits in jail, where they
will await the action of the courts
and of the grand jury.
Dusman has long police record,
and has served term in the peniten-
tiary for helping to burglarize bank
at Lawler two years ago. He was re-
leased from prison last spring. Marie
is younger in crime. this being his
first offense. Both now have long
terms of Imprisonment staring them
in the face. Their case ought forci-
bly, to bring before the minds of all
young men and boys the misery OF
the commission of crime. The
moment these young men stole the
goods they became outlaws. They
were forced to shun the eyes of man
by day, and to skulk uneasily about
lumber yards, deserted buildings and
stables by night. Every shadow
seemed an officer. Themselves and
their parents disgraced. they have be-
fore them the prospect of a long term
of hard labor without pay, when they
might, have been pursuing some honor
able calling. Independence Conserya-

Under the new regulations regard
ing denatured alcohol the farmer may
get his little still into operation as
soon as he is ready. The prelimi-
naries so far as Uncle Sam is concern
ed will be simple. The small distiller
will be required to furnish bond on
sliding scale varying with the capa-
city of the plant. The bond for 100
gallon plant is 1925. The still must
be arranged so that it's product goes
into locked tank, of which a reve
nue. inspector holds the key. When
the tank is filled or when the farmer
wants its contents released he sends
Tor an inspector, who calls and re-
leases the product, without expense to
the farmer.
The little plant for the manufacture
of denatured alcohol is expected to be
common in all agricultural communi-
ties with the next few years. The
apparatus is not expensive. and the
theory is that little neighborhood
stills will prove useful and econom.
ical in furnishing fuel and light for
the neighborhood. 1t is not expected,
however, that these small manufac-
turers will find it sound economy to
use good corn or grain in the small
still. The probability is that the big
distilieries. manufacturing in large
quantities. will be able to sell dena.
tured alcohol cheaper than the farmer
can manufacture for himself out of
high priced raw material. The little
still will reach it's greatest utility
where some cheap material that
would otherwise go to waste can be
used as the basis for manufacture.
Just what will prove most economical
for this purpose remains to be worked
out by experience.
1t is unfortunate that there is not
at present hundred stills in this part
of Iowa in readiness for operation.
They would, indeed. be a Godsend
this year of much soft and poor corn,
as it is we'll known that soft corn
makes just as good alcohol as good
corn. Perhaps by another fall some
groups of farmers may have establish
ed small stills for experimental pur.
poses at least. -Riceville Recorder.

Once Held by the British.

Our neighboring city of Prairie du
Chien is one of the most interesting
places historically in the northwest.
The first white man known to have
visited the site was Father Hennepin
in 1850; later in the same year the
trader, Du Lhut. for whom Duluth
was named, was there. In 1855
Nicholas Perrot, the French COM
Nicholas near the present site of the
city After the close of the French
and Indian war British authorities
assumed possession, but no garrison
was regularly maintained.
In 1880 Prairie du CHEN was the
scene of plots and counter plots of
American and British sympathizers
and of the activities of Linetot, the
agent of George Rogers Clark. About
11S0-Sl permanent settlement began
to grow up around the post. Prairie
du Chen was formally surrendered in
1896 to the United States authorities
under the Jay treaty. and by them
Fort Shelby was erected. In 1914 a
force of British, Canadians and In
dians under Maj. Mckay captured the
fort after spirited defense, but
abandoned it the next year. In 1916
Fort Crawford was erected and in
1920 one of the principal depots of
the American Fur Company was
established.
Here in 1924 Judge James Duane
Doty opened the first United States
court in what is now the state of Wis.

Farmer Killed Near North McGresor.

John Casey, highly respected
farmer residing on Pleasant Ridge,
met his death week ago near North
McGregor. He had started for home
and just without the town he arose to
share his lap robe with party on the
seat with him, when his horse anxious
TO get home, gave a quick start,
throwing him out. In his fall his
foot caught in the spokes of the wagon
wheel, twisting his body around with
the wheel. The horses began backing
and one of them tramped on the un-
fortunate mans breast, inAicting adj
ditional injuries which caused his
death few hours later.

Consomme OR PURGE.

From the Columbus Journal.
Very often, when a person sits down TO
a dinner, he is confronted by the alter
native-consomme or PURGE. The former
is a clear liquid supposed to represent the
strength of some meat, and the latter Is
the infusion into a cream of the virtue OF
some vegetable. The former is really the
dinner soup and the latter lunch affair.
and when a person makes his choice upon
these considerations, he leaves out the
question of merit altogether
But what we want to select out OF all

Is that form of the latter known as to-

The Romans and the Sea.
From the Sewanee Review.


Virgil is understood to have lived long
on the Bay of Naples, and he dwells re-
peatedly with unsurpassed effect on the
littoral phases of the sea; but OF the e!e-
ment at large he expresses little but
sense of vastness, power malevolrnce. 1t
is a toilsome and perilous expapnse. to

Across the land the Romans went with

FOR A KANSAS THIRST.
Solace at the Drug Stores Which
Order Beer by the Carload.

From the Wine and Spirit Circular.
One of the best nerve stimulants the
liquor trade has had Is the continued
stream of orders coming in from Kansas
points by mall The travelling men have
been generally taken off the state. owing
TO the fact that none of them wishes to
be caught selling LIQUOR so a test case can
be made on him. They are all willing to
have the test case made, but prefer to
have the other fellow play martyr.
This has not prevented all of them hust-
ling for Kansas business by mail. They
have taken up the matter with their old
customers and arc getting good business,
especially from the druggists
1t is apparent that for a considerable
time the whisky business in Kansas will
be carried on by the drug stores In
some of the larger cities of the state drug
gists are ordering case beer by the car
load and will evidently take care of all the
business that comes their way.

DEVELOPMENT of Women.

From the Gentlewoman.
It has been remarked that whereas the
average height of women has appre ciably
increased during the last decade. this is
not so in the case of man. May we hazard
an explanation of the fact? Woman goes
in for sport in .wholesouled fashion; man
Is content to sit and watch other fellows
who are paid for their trouble-playing
games.

brown Is best because it doesn't show
dirt. The white ones have to be cleaned.
"They are dreadfuly expensive. aren't
they?' sighed the shopper with ideals, as
she read the tag.
why. no. They are cheaper in the
long rum because you don't have to dress
them and they don't break But they'll
be going down pretty soon. The bargain
counter will be piled with Teddy bears
