AnIOld MysterysReCalIed ~.

Grand Rapids. Wis, Nov. IA.
Two sons OF August Kempfert,
while engaged in setting traps
for muskrats on their fathers
farm about four and lone half
miles from this Getty, smade
grewsome difcovery on the bank
of the Wisconsin. River in the
form of skeleton of a man
partly buried in the sand. The
boys Immediately told men living
nearby. Upon Investigation 1t
was found .that the body chad
been in the ground for 0many
years and had only recently un-
covered by the action of the
water.
The finding of the skeleton re-
calls to the old settlers a tragedy
which occurred few miles north
of where it was found, about a
generation ago, but it was never
solved nor anyone punished for
whatwas believed to be murder.
At that time there lived on the
west side of the river an old
bachelor by the name of Charles
Mitch, who resided about a mile
and half above where the skele-
ton was found. J Mitch was sup
posed to have considerable money
and one day was missing, and sal
though diligent search was made
nothing was ever heard or seen
of him again. Later one Alex
Taylor, who also lived in this VI
cinity, also disappeared. but a
strict search for him proved
futile. Some time after this last
mystery, the body of a man was
found in the Wisconsin river and
the evidences were that he was
fodly murdered. There was
bullet hole in his head and sever
al in the hips and several gashes
cut with the edge Of an axe on the
head. The body was then
weighted down with stones and
thrown into the river, but the
formation of gases soon brought
it to surface. The @body was
easily identified as that of Alex
Taylor. The finding of Taylor's
body Immediately set to renew
al of the search for Mitch's body
but it was never found. 1.-THE
old settlers now believe that after
thirty years of obscurity the
earth has yielded uplherIsecret
as to the whereabouts of mitch.

Eau Claire, Wis, Nov. 15.-The
municipal government of Angus
ia is well nigh disrupted GAS a
result of Mayor Eck's resig-
nation. He was especially vigil
ant in suppressing Halloween
disorder and caused the arrest
of four boys, sons of leading citi-

ringing the schoolhouse bell at
two o'clock in the morning. The
city council met and protested
against the prosecutions and the
mayor was waited on by many
citizens who insisted that Fthe
prosecutions be dropped. The
mayor finally withdrew the com
plants and resigned. Since that
time he has called special meet

Yes. Very Much Exaggerated.

''The new Constitution of Virginia Is
strong in its anti-free pass prohibitions
Public officials accept free passes at the
risk of forfeiture Of office, and trans
portation companies are prohibited from
granting special favors of any kind to
public officials. TINS is legislating through
the Constitution, and how the present
prohibition can prove any more effective
than a statute to the same purpose is
not easy to understand. Still some pub
lie officials are reported to have resign
ed. preferring to give up the office rather
than the free pass. But as the free
pass will not presumably follow them out
of office. the reports of designations are
probably exaggerated. Spring ield Re

And our noses we're upturning
At the choicest cuts of beef

Is so mighty nice to take?
Who has such a vicious palate
That for gravy it has use
When there's such a soothing liquid
AS the watermelons juice?

OF the sweet and pulpy fruit
Is enough to make mouths water
All along the eating route

Neer is followed by regret.

On the slice of watermelon

How much greater is the pleasure.

Disappears and hits the spot!
