BIG WH|SKEY
STILL STOLEN
AGENT CAPTURES
HOME DISTILLERY in SALEM.

Sioux Falls, May 5.-R. B. Leady,
chief federal prohibition agent for
South Dakota, was notified that a
whisky still he captured in the home
of John Middleton near Salem on Sat
urday night, had been stolen from the
railroad station at Salem.
Accompanied by Deputy State Sher-
ifs Ed. Glau and Charles Peters,
Yeady reached the Middleton home
10 miles south of Salem at dusk on
Saturday night. Middleton, a man of
about 30 years, with a large family,
did not seem surprised, Mr.. Leady
said today, and had but little to say
while the officers searched the house
and found the miniature distillery
in the basement. Thirty-five gallons
of whiskey, which tested 80 per cent
alcohol, was confiscated. The still
was not in operation and there was
no mash on hand. The whiskey was
stored in two kegs and the officers
judged from the bottles on hand that
Middleton had planned selling trip
soon.
The main still was connected with
the family heating system and Off
GERS believe it to have been in opera
ition for about two years. The prin-
cipal tank was seven feet in height
with 20 feet of one-half inch copper
coil. The still was in two sections.
One of the parts was partially de-
Fstroyed by fire a week ago.
This 'moonshine" outfit is con-
siderably the largest ever captured
was spotted two weeks ago, Leady
choosing Saturday night as an op-
perfume time to make the raid.
An hour after the still had been
seized it had been carted to Salem in
the officers car. 1t was turned over
to the American Railway Express
company to be shipped to Sioux Falls.
The still was in this firms care when
stolen.
Middleton was very indifferent
about the seizure at first, Leahy said,
but just before the officers left, is
said to have remarked that he regret
ted to have to give up the outfit. The
combined stills in full operation
would have an approximate daily
output of so gallons, it was estimated
He will be prosecuted On federal
charge.
An hour before the visit to the Mid
dleton home, the same group of Of
ficers visited the home of Nick Ver-
doe, one-half mile south of Hartford
and confiscated rs quarts of home
made beer Verdoe, who is 80 years
old, is farmer and has family II
was believed probable that he will be
prosecuted on a state charge.

800 worth of clothing during a re-

MATERIAL FORCE OF WEALTH
for the Distinction Which II
Confers Upon Him.

Many factors go toward lowering
the tone of this mankind whence
genius should spring as mailman
or a god. One is our intense con-
seriousness Of money. The discovery
of money is recent, for the rich men
of the Bible wanted f1ocks and lands
only SO that they might eat well,
drink well, and wed fair women the
lust of Ahab was rather unusual. At
other times, in Babylon, in Venice,
wealth brought material benefits
first, later only distinction. Only
with the rise of the middle class did
wealth become the greatest force, for
it alone could make the middle class
equal with their fellows. AS they
could claim no lineage, they natural
ly came to want to claim themselves
better than their kind-the mer-
chant princes of the Victorian
period, their sideboards, barouches
and sarcophagi; the American mil
lionaires with their demon cars,
their Ritz-Carlton dinners, their in
vestments in old masters (guaran-
teed moldy), are natural conse-
quences. Whereas IN the seventeenth
century you could impress if you
were duke, in the twentieth CEN
fury if you become millionaire you
can stun. And you can stun only
because everybody admires you fol
being millionaire, because, as Miss
Marion Ashworth perfectly says,
'there are people whom the mention
of great fortunes always makes SOL

SAYS OLD IDEA is WRONG
Present Method of Enriching Soil With
Manure concemned by Writer
in Chemical News.

The old idea that the best way to
grow fine crops is to enrich the
ground with manure receives a ter
rible jolt from Sampson Morgan il
an article in Chemical News. He
holds that we are running the quality
of our wheat by feeding the soil with
unclean matter; that the latest ex-
periments show that powdered gran
lite rock and decaying leaves are the
only fertilizer that viii produce the
hard wheat with its high content OF
gluten.
Mr.. Morgan urged that all garb-
age and animal refuse be reduced to
ashes before being spread upon the
ground. 1.-The soil has been fouled
with the filth of civilization" he
says. 'gThe importance of purifea-
ton by fire has been ignored too
long, at least by western nations.
The ashes from these fires are of un-
told value to the cultivator of the
soil, and by ceasing to poison the
earth by sowing it with foul-smell-
ing plant foods and by letting il
the air and sun and mineralizing il
with the sweet refuse of these burn
ings and with granite dust, We
should soon increase the productive
powers of the earth hundredfold

JUST THE THING.

There is great deal of good
working wit which goes to waste as
far as the general public is con-
cerned, in newspaper office when
the men get to talking among them
selves with no thought of the fame
which print confers. One of these
mute Millions of humor asked an
other lately how calves were dressed
when they were put to bed, and when
the other confessed ignorance, he
tossed off, '1n cow-slips, of course"

Msea Cow Now Extinct.

The last arctic "sea COW" was seen
in 1S54-about century after the
first discovery of the species by white
men. When full grown the creature
weighed as much as 5000 pounds.
These animals frequented shadows
at the mouths Of rivers in herds, and
while feeding they drove before them
their young, to protect the latter from
danger. So tame were they that one
could stroke their backs without OBJ
lection on their part.
Unfortunately their flesh was good
to eat, resembling beef. Whalers got
in the way of depending on them for
stores of fresh meat, and so in the
natural course of events they were
wiped out.
