On being confronted by Detective Burns of the Pennsylvania railroad, one of the boys suspicioned of being implicated in the theft of a large amount of tobacco from the railway station here, confessed. The lad then led Burns to a cornfield located near town, where he disclosed the stolen goods which had been carefully concealed in a large sack. A number of Greensfork boys are implicated In the theft. Detective Burns says.

Put KING MAKES AN INSPECTION Secretary of Board of Health At Greensfork. Dr. J. E. King, recently selected secretary of the Wayne county board of health, has already begun an inspection of the slaughter and poultry houses of the county. Thursday he inspected such places located at Greensfork, and it is very probable he will visit other cities in the county soon. Strict sanitary rules as pertaining to the condition of slaughter and poultry houses have been laid down by not only the county, but the state board of health, as well. Danger in Delay Kidney Diseases Are Too Dangerous For Richmond People to Neglect. The great danger of kidney troubles is that they get a firm hold before the sufferer recognizes them. Health is gradually undermined. Backache, headache, nervousness, lameness, soreness, lumbago, urinary troubles, dropsy, diabetes and Blight's disease follow in merciless succession. Don't neglect your kidneys. Cure the kidneys with the certain and safe remedy, Doan's Kidney Pills, which has cured people right here in Richmond. ' Enoch Cromer, Conductor on the Penna. R. R. and living at 221 North Nineteenth St., Richmond, Ind., says: "The continual jarring of the trains, to which I was subject while railroading, had a bad effect on my kidneys. These organs became weakened and the secretions were so frequent in action that I was forced to arise many times during the night. As a result of the loss of sleep, I felt weak and depressed and was in no fit condition to work. I was also subject to fainting and dizzy spells and a feeling of lassitude was with me constantly. Being advised to try Doan's Kidney Pills I procured a box at Hiatt's Drug store. This remedy soon brought me relief, the backache was eradicated and my kidneys were restored to a normal condition." , For sale by all dealers. Price 60 cents.

The Preble County Teachers association will be held at the city hall in Eaton, December 12. In the interest of matrimony it is proposed to divide Butte county, the largest in South Dakota, into three. The county is a place of magnificent distances. It is something like one hundred miles from north to south and east to west, while by railroad it is eight hundred miles from the northeast corner to Belle Fourche, the county seat. So what is alovelorn swain in the northern part of the county to do when he wishes to be married and he can not without first obtaining a license at Belle Fourche? Some forbrides might be willing to te carried off, Lochinvar fashion, but It is not very romantic to ride over the buttes and unsettled priaries. And, besides, it costs not less than $100 to pay the expense of a railroad trip.

Farm and (Garden ALCOHOL ON THE FARM. The Denatured Variety May Now Be Made Legally. j Two years ago congress passed a law taking the internal revenue tax from denatured alcohol. This bill was , passed with the aid and by the In-' fluence of farmers, who were led to believe that this bill would help them settle a hard question of ligbt and fuel. Many of them thought that after . the trill was passed the average farmer would be able to make alcohol on SttALI. FRENCH STILL. the farm at a low price and that be could use this alcohol in place of other fuel. The result has been disappointing to such farmers. The price of alcohol is still so high that It cannot be used in place of wood or coal. At the time the bill was passed many well informed farmers all over the country feared that the alcohol Industry would be much the same as the beet sugar business that it would not be made on the small farms, but concentrated in the factories, where farm produce is brought, very much as sugar beets, are brought to the factory or milk otj cream to the creamery. ' There is still, however, a demand for a small distilling apparatus, but so far nothing of practical use has been , made in this country. The illustrations given herewith are ' taken from a French catalogue and show two devices for making alcohol in small quantities. They are popular in France. These pictures give an idea of the way the machines are operated. The small ones appear to be pretty close to toys, but there are larger and more expensive devices which are really practical. A great deal of the alcohol making In France appears to be done by trav-1 Simi FARM APFABATrS. cling distillers, who go from place to place very much the same as grain thrashers travel in this country. They will go to a farmer's place and work apples, potatoes, beets or other material into alcohol at a stated price. It is doubtful whether this method will be practical in this country for a good many years, as the conditions here are very different from those on the other side.
