HE MEANS BUSINESS The following notice is posted on certain farm in Tennessee: "NOTIS: Tresspassers will be persecuted to the full extent of two mongrel dogs which was never very soshible to a strang er & one double brl. shotgun which ain't loaded with" sofy pillers. Darn if I ain't gettin' tired of this hell raisin' on my place." "WHAT ABE THE WILD WAVES SAYING." From Thursday's Dally If the usually placid Missouri river assumed a rough aspect today there was a reason as the river has received a real "bracer" in the array of alcohol and booze of various varieties that was poured into the sewer this morning by Sheriff E. P. Stewart and his assistants, and which will trickle down into the old Missouri and thence on to the Gulf of Mexico. The scene was more pathetic than the "face on the bar room floor" as the sheriff, deputy sheriff, county attorney and Constable Tom Svobo da, dragged out the array of liquor from the vault in the office of the county attorney, and taking it to the corner of Fourth and Main streets. poured it into the sewer while the white light of public destruction beamed upon them. Justice William Weber who had presided in the cases was present and murmered the blessing on the flowing beverage as it was poured forth. A number of the spectators, of whom there were quite a number, were really envying the fish that will enjoy a little of the drink that cheers. This is the second time that Sher iff Stewart has conducted public destruction of the confiscated liquor and cleans up the supply that is on hand in the office of the county at torney.
