The telephone rang sharply again
and again, and Tomas, after a mo-
ments hesitation, took down the re-
iceiver and said: "Hello."
A sort of strangled gasp came to his
ear, and then a woman's voice said:

There was terror and anguish in the
cry, and it was succeeded by the click
of the severed connection. Tomas

into the hall, shouted: "Billy?

FELL THIRTY FEET UNFRAMED
Explorers Escape From Death Might
Surely Be Described az
Miraculous.

On Mr. A. H. Savage Landor's re-
turn journey to the Tapajos river,
after desperate struggle to reach the
rubber gatherers who live far in the
Brazilian interior he had, as he re-
lates In Across Unknown South
America" very curious experience.
"The forest near the Secondary
river was at first overgrown with
dense vegetation that gave US a good
deal of work and extra exertion; but
after that, when we got some distance
from the water, the forest was fairly
clean, except Of course for the fallen
trees. We found troublesome ravines
of great depth where streamlets had
cut their way through.
''In going down one of those difficult
ravines, I had an accident that might
have been fatal. The ravine. the sides
Of which were almost vertical, was
very narrow-only about ten meters
across. We let ourselves down, hold
ing on to a Llama. When we reached
the bottom, we found tiny brook

climb the other side, and had got to

to go up this steep incline, had set
one foot against small tree, and

weight of the load that / had on my
shoulders made me lose my balance,
SO that my body described a complete

from that height on the rocks below.

seemed to cause pain without giving
much relief. l finally tried DR.. Niles
laxative Tablets and found them ex-
eellent. Their action is pleasant and
mild, and their chocolate taste makes
them easy to take. / am more than
glad to recommend them"
Clean up the bowels and keep
them clean" is the advice of all
physicians, because they realize the
danger resulting from habitual con-
stipation. Do not delay too long,

DR.. Miles Laxative Tablets are

Bourne street Eight minutes more
and the engine was wheeling at q
standstill before No. 81.
Tomas leaped out and was ringing
the bell furiously before Ersmit had
half way climbed the steps. A light
was burning in the hall, but the house
was silent as the grave, and there was
no response to the repeated summons
''Try the door," said Ersmit Tomas
turned the knob and it opened easily.
The two men entered the house and
Ersmit called aloud.
STRANGE" he calculated. Are they
all dead? Ralph, believe somebody
has been hoaxing US"
Tomas pushed past him and entered
a parlor, striking a match as he went.
He lit the gas at chandelier, and
looked about the room.
Nothing here" said Doctor Ersmit,
who had followed him. Whats in the
next one?"
Tomas looked in. Then he turned q
pale face to his friend. Here's your
case, Billy" he said.
On the floor by a small table that
had evidently been overturned in his
fall. lay the PROSTATE figure of a man
in evening clothes-a tall, powerfully
made man of forty or Whereabouts,
with coarse features, now set in the
rightly of death.
"By the Lord" exclaimed Doctor
Ersmit. TITS Frank Beverly" He
ripped open the mans waistcoat and
disclosed small red stain over the
heart Stabbed" he added. Look
there. Hardly drop of blood, and
there hasn't been time for coagulation
yet. Yes, he is dead; dead as Pharaoh,
and If it didn't sound heartless, I'd
say it was good thing, too. Ralph,
we've got to see first If there's any
body about the place, and then-I've
got to do soma thinking"
They made a hurried but careful
search of the premises, but though the
house showed signs of recent occupa-
lion, they found no one. They returned
to the parlor, where the murdered man
lay, and Doctor Ersmit flung himself
into an armchair and began to pull his
beard thoughtfully.
You say it was woman's voice?"
he said at last. Tell me exactly what
she said"
Tomas repeated the conversation,
but added: I couldn't undertake to
swear that it was woman's vioce,
Billy"
Doctor Ersmit looked keenly at him

The Governments conservation program makes
it necessary to suspend the beverage business of
the Anheuser-Busch plants. We consider it
privilege to cooperate with the Government in
making its war program effective, and to comply
with every request and suggestion of the Govern
ment to the end that German armies may be more
quickly defeated and German autocracy over
thrown-to the end that an enduring peace may
be established that will insure justice and protec-
ton to all nations and all peoples and make future
wars impossible.
prosecution of the war to a uictorious conclusion.
We regard the sacrifices we are making, amounting
TO many millions of dollars as Insignificant and in
consequential uOhen think of the benefits that wH
accrue TO the word under the terms of the unselfsh
and altruistc war aims of the United States as
defined by our President.
The Anheuser-Busch Brewing Association is pre-
eminenty the foremost and largest Institution of its
character in the world. 1t has plants coUering more
than Is city blocks in ST. Louis, and branch houses
in many other cities and foreign countries. The busi-
ness of Anheuser-Busch wGs word-Dide. Its highly
efficient executive and sales organization, as far as
war conditions uoU permit, wiN be retained intact;
and after the war for Democracy shall haze been
uOn shall be engaged again in useful industry.
The Anheuser-Busch plants are equivalent to
city in themselves. They represent an invested
capital of $60000,000. There are many modem
manufacturing units in the group of plants-one,
the new Bevo bottlng and shipping plant, with
equipment, costing approximately $lO,OOO,OOO,
and being the best industrial plant of any char
acter in the world.
Anheuser-Busch pays annually more than
100000 in Federal, State and Municipal taxes.
Anheuser-Busch employs at good wages from
5000 to $500 persons.
Anheuser-Busch industries support nearly a
score of other useful Industries of considerable
magnitude
During the period that Anheuser-Busch is out
of active business, we shall take all necessary steps
to protect the good name of this institution, which
always has stood for 100 per cent integrity and
lOO per cent efficiency. In the excitement of war
false reports and statements are circulated with
reckless disregard for truth. Anheuser-Busch has
The Evening Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1917-1920, 1918-10-21

been the victim, unfortunately. of many such false
reports.
In this connection we consider it opportune to
so clearly define the attitude of this institution and
its officers that there can be no further for
misrepresentation.
As an American institution founded by Ameri-
cans more than 90 years ago, and continuously
owned and operated by Americans Anheuser-Busch
has unmistak ably expressed its Americanism by sub
scribing to more than So ,OOO 900 of Liberty Bonds
and the contribution of $500, 900 to the American

the manu- acture of engines for the submarines of the
United States Navy. The engines manu. featured BY
this plcnt are conceded to be the finest and most
perfect made anywhere in the world.
Mr. Busch also has arranged to lease to the
Government for the period of the war one-third
of the 20 acres of floor space of the new 10000
600 Bevo plant.
The manufacturing facilities of the $60.000,000
Anheuser-Busch plant in part or entirety, have
been rendered to the United States until the end
of the war.
Over-enthusiastic agitators and envious COM
petitors have attempted to prejudice the public
against Anheuser-Busch on account Of the pur-
chase in October, l9l5-when this country was
neutral-of some German Government bonds by
August A. Busch and for the account Of his
mother, Mrs Adolphus Busch.
The truth is that these bonds were purchase
Is months before the United States declared war
on Germany, and at time when there was no
thought that this country would become involved
in the war.
The German bonds were sold by the principal
banks, trust companies and bond houses of the
The Evening Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1917-1920, 1918-10-21

United States and widely advertised in news
papers, and sold with the full knowledge Of the
Government. Many financial institutions, and
thousands of loyal citizens, still own these bonds
The bonds were sold by the same institutions
that sold French, English, Italian and other war
bonds. They were sold at "a cents on the dollar
and recommended by fnanciers as good invest
ments. paying a return Of nearly per cent.
Some professional agitators have undertaken to
make it appear that MIR. Busch bought the German
bonds to aid Germany in making war on the
United States. When these bonds were sold it
was publicly announced that the funds were to be
used to establish commercial credits for Germany
in this country-credts such as the allied countries
enjoyed through the sale of their bonds.
The fact that this transaction was in October,
1915, and that the United States did not declare
war on Germany until April, 1917, should set at
rest the ridiculous charges circulated principally by
paid agitators rejecting on the loyalty of Anheuser-
Busch.
Anheuser-Busch was founded upon the solid
rock Of Americanism and grew to be great insti-
tuition under the protection Of American democ-
racy. The late Adolphus Busch, for many years
its president, laid the foundations of the character
of Anheuser-Busch so broad and deep that this
institution always has represented in the industrial
world vastly more than beverage industry. The
name of Anheuser-Busch has been associated with,
and will continue to be associated with, great
industries in various fields of manufacture,
finance rairoading. mining, hotel building and
operation. etc.
The intensely loyal organization, created by
Adolf plus Busch and strengthened under succeed
ing management, always will be found fighting to
uphold American ideals of government and
American principles Of fair play.
Anheuser-Busch is ready to sacrifice everything
except loyalty to country, and its own honor, to
seroe the Government in bringing this war to bic
torious conclusion.
We wish to express our gratitude to our dealers
and the thousands of loyal friends whose cooper
alton and support have been an invaluable asset
to this institution We assure them that after the
war Anheuser-Busch again will take its place
among the important and indispensable industrial
institutions of America.

"Mr. Schwab went out to Chicago
on some munitions business, and the
spy logged him like shadow all the
way-dogged him all over the Windy
city, too.
"One evening, to fool the fellow, Mr..
Schwab wrote some fake kilograms in
the hotel library, and then he tore a
couple of the kilograms up, scattered
them on the floor and hurried from
the room.
"The spy, who was, of course, right
on the job, didn't follow him out right
away. That was what he had expect
ed, and so after a bit he stole back on
tiptoe to take Mr.. Spy by surprise.
"What he saw made him smile. The
SPY was down on his hands and knees
gathering up and putting together the
torn bits of fake telegram.
"Mr. Schwab, standing in the door
way, gave a loud laugh. Then he
said:
