FOUR HUNTERS RESCUED
FROM ICY WATERS OF LAKE
BOONE, la., April 6. (Speclal.)-Four
non-rosldent hunters were taken com
pletely exhausted from Goose lake
through the efforts of Frank Heller.
The hunters were Ttoy Carter and
James Monroe ot Dexter, and two other
men from Valley Junction and Canty
respectively. They went out after din
ner taking two small boats over the Ice,
which was thin, but sufficient to hold
them Up with careful maneuvering. Dur
ing the afternoon they shot somo ducks
nnd In attempting to get them, broke
through the Ico which had been weak
ened by tho sun, and all four went into
tho water. This happened at about 4
o'clock, and from that tlmo on they
mode desperate efforts to reach the
shore The water was only four feet
deep, but It was Ice cold. The Ico was
so rotten that it would not hold their
weight, and yet thick enough to prevent
them from forcing tho boats through It
Frank Heller, who had been to Joffcr
Hon, arrived homo at about 8:30 and his
son told him that four men were
drowning In the lake, as ho had hoard
them shooting their guns In distress
signals. Mr. Heller at once loaded a
boat with water-tight comportments and
drovo nround the lako to a point nenr
them, and with tho aid of other hunters,
whom ho called to the rescue, finally
succeeded In getting them out. They
had been soaked to the skin for nearly
five hours and wero so oxhausted that
they had given up trying to get out
themselves. If It had not been for the
boy's warning they would have un
doubtedly perished.

IF NEAL DOW CAME BACK
What the Apostle of Prohibition
Would Find in Beloved Maine.
BEATING THE DRY STATE LAWS
Ingenious nnd Antnslnsr Devices
"Whereby the Thirsty Get
trnlKht Goods nnd
Some Mixed.
In this land of state-wide nrohtbltlan
(Maine) It Is very common to he.ir light I
talk of how easy It might -bo to enforce
the law If the officers were only oonent,
If they conscientiously tried to do their!
duty. In this story nere Is no inten 1
tlon of considering the question of tho,i
practicability or enforcing the prohibitory
law. .That has been argued again and
again. Millions and millions of cubic
feet of oratory have been devoted to It,
while paper enough to make a New
Forest beside which William the Con
queror's would havo seemed a gardon
orchard havo been sprinkled with words
which have told in burning sentences
why the sale of liquor can or cannot
be prevented. And with all this oratory
and all theso printed aj-gtiments wo are
no nearer an agreement than we wore
when Nbal Dow first proclaimed the
principle of prohibition more than sixty
years ago.
But wo may Interest tho reader, if wo
do not convince him, by telling some of
the difficulties that all officers, no matter
how honest or how determined, en
counter whdn they undertake to suppress
liquor selling In a community where
every hand Is raised against Mm and
whero every man, woman and child Is
a spy and In colhislon, In sympathy at
any rate, with those who are attempt
ing to do what they havo sworn to do.
Strnlirht Goods.
Uko the story on pocket peddling, this
story of the liquor hides comes from the
Hps of thoo who have been concerned
In tho Illegitimate sale of liquor from
their boyhood Up and who know he In
side nnd out of the business, as it has
been conducted In Portland, as few
others do.
They have told things that have never
been told before in print and which
are not known even to tho officers
themselves, to say nothing of those ot
us who vote tor prohibition year after
year and who belleye In tho principle
If wo are not always convinced that It
Is practical to enact that principle Into
a workable law.
Bear this In mind, however, that there
has never been a time when liquor was
not sold In whatever quantity tho would
be purchaser had the money to pay for
In tho so-called enus of the city, and
that tho officer who goes Into these ends
and undertakes to suppress rurn sqlllng
Invades a country where every hand will
be raised against him.
ft Nor Is that all. It Is not altogether
forclblo opposition that he will en
counter. There are bright minds em
ployed In this .business of the Illegal
sale of liquors, and whllo tho officers nre
working and working, they aro study
ing and studying to devise means to de
feat them.
There are any, number of tenement
houses, shops and hotels' In Portland
which are fairly honeycombed with' 'so-
called liquor -hides. Many of these have
ncen round and more have not and are
nbt kn6wn to this day. Some of these
that wo shall dcacrlbo may not evon be
known to tho proprietors of Borne of
these places to this day.
Designs of One Sinn.
Practically evcrv llnuor hide in Pnrt.
ldnd was made by ono man and that
man Is now dead. Ills name Is known to
every liquor seller In the city, and to
about every officer. Ho built hundreds
and hundreds of theso hides,, nnd when
he passed away a few years ago he Iert
qulto a comfortable fortune which he had
accumulated by selling his wpnerful me
chanical abilities to thoso who were en
gaged In a warfare upon tho laws of
this city and state. Theso hides were
constructed In cellars and attics, In be
tween celling, In blind partitions, In out
houses, even In gardens and undor door
steps. Tjiey wero marve'ls of ingenuity,
and nnd tho builder turned his talents
In more respectablo directions he might
havo acquired fame nnd fortune.
Tho man had one price for his liquor
hides, big or little, plnln or simple. It
was $50, und $3 a week thereafter from
the rumsollor, until tho hldo wad found.
If It was discovered, then the liquor
dealer had to have another hldo and it
was a caso of another $50 and a further
weekly royalty of $5. The newspapers
contained frequent Items telling of the
discovery of hides by the sheriffs or the
Sturgls deputies In the days when open
bar rooms were not permitted, but when
one figures that thts master builder was
empioyca aDout an ot nis time In build
ing them, it can be easily seen that
where ono was discovered many others
remained hides and are hides to this day,
or would be were thero any necessity ot
hiding anything In tho rum line. .
Not long ago u building was torn down
in the center of tho city which had been
used for years for the sale of liquor, and
as the partitions were ripped away one
after another of these places ot conceal
ment were found, and overy one of them
was built by this man.
Ilullt for BmerKenctea.
They wero surprisingly ingenious and
must have counted up into many hun
dreds of dollars at 150 per, to say nothing
of the royalty of J5 wetkly.
Thero Is today a hotel In this city
where liquor Is at present dispensed over
the bar and where hlaes are about as
useless ns a coat of armor In a snowball-
Ing Koine, where piaotlcally every room
contains a place that has been built In
for the purpose of concealing alcoholic
drinks. They ore not In uao now; there
may come a time when they will be.
In another hotel there Is a hide which
is one of the most remarkable ot Its kind
In this city and which, so far as is known,
no officer ever suspected the existence of.
It was built by the master hide builder,
and it took him three days and nlshts to
complete. Entrance Is obtained from a
bathroom, from which there runs a
passageway to. another sleeping room.
Itetween tho bathroom and the chamber
there Is a blind partition about three feet
wide, which runs the whole length of the
house. It is rather narrow, but a man
can easily walk up and down the place,
and It is sufficiently roomy to accommo
date liquor enough to keep a good busi
ness going for several months.
A Ilrtck Ilnflet.
When the hide builder began work on It
ho went Into the bathroom and locked
himself In and remained there night and
day until It was .finished, sleeping on the
floor and dodging out when he got a
chance to get a bite to eat On the door
was the sign. "Plumbing out of order."
bout two feet of the width of the
wainscot paneling was taken out and
seaured together. Then a board frame
was built around It and into this frame

was cemented a course of brick. This
was all hung on heavy, but easily moving
hinges, and the whole made a door of
great weight, which was so nicely bal
anced that It swung as cosily as a jew
eler's scales.
When closed it fastened from the top
with a small spring concealed within and
which could only be reached by pressing
a bent hairpin or darning needle- Into
the crack. To all outward appearances
the door was a part of the wainscoting.'
Tho object of the course of brick was to
prevent the officers from finding the
plaCo by sounding on the walls, as they
frequently did. By running along and
tapping tho walls where It was suspected
a hide might bo concealed the locality was
often found by the hollow sound that
was given out. Of course, there was no
hollow sound from behlnc this door of
solid masonry. This is intended as no
tip for would-be enforcers of the law, but
the hide Is thero now, and If ever tho Hd
Is restored it will be put into use.
Once when tho Sturgls deputies called
at this place a man was in this hide to
procure somo whisky for a customer. Of
course, the door was shut forthwith, and
he remained there In the dark with his
rum Until-the Investigators had given up
tho search and left
There Is another hide In existence to
day that Is even more elaborate than this
one of t(ie brick wall. In the cellar of
a certain shop the cement was broken up
and an excavation made ot sufficient
depth to accommodate a whisky barrel.
This was sunk into tho ground and se
