KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. IA party of
newspaper men who are interested in wild
land in the southern part of this state have
just returned from trip to that section,
and bring with them story of cave which
they found in Stone county which, if true,
rivals all the caves known except Nam

vested what little money they had in some
exceedingly wild land in that county with
the expectation of realizing a fortune out Of
lead ana zinc mines as soon as the country
was developed. They took their vacation
in exploring the land, which lies high on
the sides of the Ozark mountains, and dur
ing their rambles discovered the cave. The
entrance to the cave was almost hidden by
bushes and jutting cliff, but was accident
ally stumbled upon and the party made an
exploration.
After going through a long passage-way
they came to a small chamber, which was
rough and full of broken rocks. From this
there led passage to another and larger
chamber, which was full of stalagmites
and stalactites, presenting most beautiful
appearance. This room was fully fifty feet
in diameter and was almost circular in
shape. From here there led in several di-
rections Railways, and each one appeared

which ended abruptly at the edge of a
chasm whose depths were impossible to
penetrate. Deep down in this chasm could
be heard the sound of falling water, but

200 feet long let down did not reach the
bottom and was brought up as dry as when
it went down.
The gentlemen interested think they
have bonanza. as there are several springs
flowing near the mouth of the cave and
they expect to fit up the place as a summer
resort as soon as they can get someone to
build a railroad into the county. As it now

The Art Of ManicurIng.

Very few people know how to pro-
perly care for the nails. In cleaning
them a sharp knife ought never to be
used, but between the ends of the nails
and the fingers the space should be
filed with soap (this is best done by
dragging the finger nails along the bar
and then remove by brushing with
good. stiff raj brush. The hest brush

half cylinder, the inside of which is
furnished with short, stiff bristles that
can never become soft and useless. 1t
also fits close about the fingers, securing
them effectually.
Many Improperly cut away that part
of the flesh which grows over the nail
from the bottomi they should simply
press it backward sufficiently to show
the white "half-moon, considered by
some to be a mark Of beauty,
If the flesh is adherent to the nail
the operation may be facilitated by
passing the sharp point of knife
underneath the fold of the flesh and
separating it from its attachments.
With this done, it can be pushed back
more readily. Scissors should never be
used to cut the nails; that should be
done only with a sharp penknife.

Mrs. Timme is now simply infatuated

is that people in storm ridden northern

the glowing statments, without actually
experiencing their truth personally.
The mildness, the sunshine, the green
grass and greener foliage of perennial shade
trees, the absence Of snow, ice, slush and
all the sloppiness Of the northern coun-

Another Old Resident Passes Away.

Mr. Jared B. Brockett died at his resi-

the 21st inst, aged 81 years. His illness
had been protracted for many months
He was born in Galway, n. Y; and came
to Wisconsin in 1912 and located in this
place, engaging In the mercantile bust
ness with S. B. Scott Afterwards he en-
tered into the hardware business with
Edward Balm. When Mr. Balm embarked
largely in the business of manufacturing
wagons, Mr.. Brockett was employed as
book-keeper and treasurer Of the eStab-
lishment, in which occupation he contin-
ued for many years and retired when his
health began to fail from over-work. Mr..
Brockett leaves a family of only one
daughter, Mrs Edward Balm, the wife of
Mr.. Edward Baiu, who is now in CaifOr-
MIA for his health
Mr.. Brockett was man remarkable
for evenness Of temper, always calm,
never excited. One of his virtues was
kindness for the poor; his deeds Of chart
ty were not ostentatious. No application
was made to him for aid Of truly worthy
objects, where he turned the applicants
away without some tokens Of encourage
ment. One Of his noticeable character
istics was his regular church attendance
in all sorts of weather. For period of
forty years he served as one of the col
Iectors Of the usual Sunday contributions.
He did not become d church member I'M
til short time before his death; when in
declining health special service was held
at his residence, attended by a few
friends and the service Of admission tor
the Congregational church was observed.
The funeral will take place at his resi-
dence on Thursday (o-day) at 2 o'clock.
