Distilled essence of decayed rats, Miat was part what the patrons of a white mule still operating in Iftouteau township were getting they bought booze from the "-urn venders of that still, according (o States Attorney J. n. Brown, at whose Instigation Sheriff Delmllng sent a party deputies to raid the place, Saturday. Floating In tho vats in which the mash was kept, which was -to be 7 turned Into whisky, were a number of dead rats, part the ordinary denizens of tho old barn In which the still was located.

No precautions at all had been taken to keep the mash anything like clean and It was perfectly easy for rats, enticed by the smell of the fermenting mash, to climb up the concrete sides, drop over in, and drown in tho mash. Cochroaches, too, were numerous. Then there was no particular effort made to fish them out after they had been drowned, not until tho mash was being transferred to the still to carry on the process of distilling the liquor. The rats would be strained out then, and the fact that they had been for days In the fermenting mass and that decomposition may have been hastened In the rats by the ferment In tho mash, made no difference. The customers uf the still did not know about it, and anyhow that was perhaps the least harmful of tho ingredients that were In the rile stuff that was being peddled around.

Attorney Brown, going on tho theory that it is idle to make an attack here and there at a mule joint, raiding tho placo and getting a fine, is of the opinion It is far more effective to hit the source of supply and'that is what may ba expected of him. Speaking gf the Mrtd on the big still in Chouteau rtownshlp. ho said that stVen hien I been arrested up to Saturday bilght. Three wero arrested at the c(me when the raid was made, a fourth man was arrested who arrived while the raid was on and three more men wero arrested, all Italians, during the afternoon. Tho owners of the still had Six Italians hired to operate it for them.

Tho Italians were paid 10 a day each, and they worked twenty-four hours on a shift, then were off twenty- four hours. The states attorney said that he does not believe the still could have been running very long at ivs big capacity. The still was fifteen feet in height, and was in a big barn. There wero 153 sacks seized In the raid, each containing 100 pounds of corn sugar, and there were 600 empty sacks which had been piled up after their contents was used In making liquor. There were three vats, each 6 feet deep and 16x15 feet in floor area.

All of them were full and they contained between 30,000 and 40,000 gallons of mash. Dynamiting of the three vats was resorted to as a means of getting rid of them. They were of concrete and would be difficult to destroy otherwise. ENGAGED AT TEN!

American lads of 10, who would "lick the stuffing" out of anyone who might implay that they ''had a girl," will be just a little bit sorry' for Yuvarajah Mandra Singh, son of the Maharajah of Morvl, India's second richest prince. All of India already knows, and the rest of the world will soon find out, that this boy of 10 not only has a "girl" but already has been betrothed, pains hed. Never can this lad know tho romance of "sheep's eyes" nor tho of "puppy loyo." The parents already have arranged that, unon ma- turlty, he will wed the cunning daughter of tho Maharajah of Ra'jplpla. At that, as tho picture shows, he might do worse. City Move Wire Off Poles to Clear Streets City officials were discussing today some action that would make It possible to remove some poles from the streets, now that the utilities corporations which were using them have abandoned them.

The Bell telephone Company has made rapid progress toward removing the abandoned lines and poles on some of the streets, especially In the business district, but one difficulty In the complete removal of former telephone poles, is the fact that the flashlight system remains on them.

Miller said that It Is planned to get a new system for the flashlight, that then the poles will be abandoned and the city will have to remove them unless It Is done very soon while the telephone company Is doing its work.

MUSCATINE, May was being continued In the Mississippi river near Falrport, six miles north of here today for the bodies of Gus Dusenberry and his three children, who were drowned Sunday morning, when a huge wave capsized a launch in which nine persons were riding.

The body of Mrs. Dusenberry, also a victim of 1 the accident, was tho only one of the five recovered.

In the methods of garnishment In I voguo at present there Is no uni- form system, either fn presenting mands hi carnishment nnd in the bringing of garnishment proceedings or in tho amounts that are to for justice and constable fees. The matter is in an almost hopeless tangle, one prominent justice of the peace stated this morning, and the meeting will be tret-to- gether with the Idea of threshing out the various methods and selecting the best one both as to means of bringing garnishment proceedings nnd charging for them, In accordance with the laws on the subject.

At present the matter of garnishments has been a cause for considerable complaint on the part of manufacturers and on the other hand employees who have been subject to garnishments In the past are making complaints as to the manner of garnishment and the fees charged. For Instance, some Justices chargt- only one dollar for making out garnishment papers while others charge two dollars. Some constables charge one dollar for service and others charge two, in addition to mileage, which Is always mooted point inasmuch as the distances from the Justice courts to the places where the papers are served can generally be disputed. A uniform system of methods and costs is expected to be drawn up between the; three bodies which will be clearly Intelligible to In case the system-can be adopted, there.will be left no disputed points hereafter In the manner and costs of Issuing and serving garnishments proceedings either on tho part of the manufacturer-employer or the employee who is subject to the garnishment. Thursday night Is the regular get- together meeting, smoker nnd banquet of the newly elected justices and constables of the county, some having been re-elected to office and new ones taking the place of the old ones in several instances, and at this meeting It was deemed an opportune time to discuss the garnishment matter.

There will be an all-around good time promised In addition to the business end of the meeting, and all members of the three bodies who are able to attend are urged to do so.

City Wins Judgment. Justice Frank Ford Saturday gave judgment in favor of the plaintiff for Su4 and costs in the damage suit of A. 13. Cox and Sons vs. the Shearburn Auto Company as a result of an auto collision at Fourth street and Central, avenue- several weeks ago In which both autos were damaged.

The driver of the Shearburn nuto was going north on Central avcnuo and the Cox truck was being driven west on Fourth street. It appears from the evidence that the driver for the Shearburn nuto did not wait until the Cox truck had passed on Fourth street but drove ahead of tho Cox truck, when tho collision occurred. It's a mean man that would "pick on" a blind man. Albert Drury of 551 East Broadway is charged in a warrant In Police Magistrate Connors' court with doing more than this; he "picked on" a blind man and his wlfe tho wife being his nged sinter, nnd threatened to shoot them with his revolver. Drury is now under bond of $1,000 In the police court chafed with assault with intent to kill and in default of the bond will be taken to the county jail to await the action of the grand jury.

According to tho story told this morning by J. A. Brewer and his wife. 07-year-old sister of Drury, when the couple were Interviewed at tho Brewer home, Drury camo home in an Intoxicated condition Saturday night about 11 o'clock after refusing to pay his board because the blind husband had picked up small box and broken' It up for kindling. Drury alleged that this box belonged to him.

He did not take in account that It would have been a natural mistake had either one of the bind couple Vicltcd up the wrong box by mistake, but began taking them to for It on the outside before he got Into the house. Fearing that he meant to carry out his threats to do bodily vengeance, Brewer got up out of bed nnd locked the door. Then, he said, Drury tried raising the window, cursing nnd swearing as ho pried open tho window and flourishing a revolver. "You won't live five minutes after I get in," were tho words Drury uttered in his rage, according to Brewer. Brewer waited, his ears being the only guide as to where his opponent was.

Finally when he heard Drury leap down into the room in the dark, he shied around him as Drury made for the bed, climbed up Into the same window and ran to tho home of James A'aughn upstairs In the same building. A aughn came down In a few minutes and rescued the wife and the blind couple spent the night in the A'aughn homo while police were searching for Drury. Earlier in the evening, It was said by Brewer, the same trouble had arisen at which lime Drury attacked Brewer, struck him on the forehead with his fist, inflicting a flesh wound, choked him and kicked him at which time Brewer screamed for help and was given assistance by others near by who succeeded in ejecting Drury from the house. He went away and returned at 11 o'clock, resuming the quarrel of a few hours before. Brewer says his wife" is totally blind.

He Is partially blind also, but manages to see enough to get around and make his living by peddling from house to house, selling notions and fancy articles. Today Poormaster Joo Hermann and the Red Cross wero interested In tho case of the elderly blind couple. It was found they recently came hero from Marion, aparcntly at Drury's invitation. In their home county, they receive a pension because of blindness. Pool-master Hermann urged them to go back to their home town.

He gave them ticket us far as St. Louis, and the lied Cross Chapter extended additional aid to get the couple started on the journey. iVocal Contest at Lebanon Won by Pauline Bug Miss Paulino Bug, a student Alton High school, won first place In Kins' vocal nolo content which IB part of the annual field, trnck nnd Intellectual meet held nt Lebanon under the nusplces of McKcndrco College.

They prided themselves in being able to drive tho car in view of the fact that so many younger children of tho neighborhood were seen to drive back and forth in front of the Joesting home day after day.

Other children oecmed t6 handle the a'iitos well, and no one seemed to care. It appeared to be great sport. So Miss Martha Lee and young Frederick decided to Join In and try It also, not-j withstanding the fact that both had never driven the car before and many times they had been forbidden to attempt to drive their father's car. Dr. Joesting was in the house taking a nap, and the mother was busy with her household work, and the children were not seen by their parents to enter the car.

Tho little girl took the steering wheel, set the spark, cranked the auto and on the gas. Gee, it was great sport. Tho Dodge coupe began moving to the great merriment of the inexpert drivers. But setting it in motion and steering It were two different matters. After the car had gone a short distance, it began to wobble back and forth in the street.

Young Martha Lee did her best to steer it clear of passing cars, trees and telephone poles so that It might not attempt to climb them. But luck was against them and tho auto crashed into a telephone pole nnd was over turned.
