Finds STONES in Pocket.

The clouds surrounding the disappear
ance of Edward Morseth We're cleared
away when his lifeess body was found in
the waters of HalfmOon lake at a point
at the foot of the hill below the Lake
View cemetery, Eau Claire. While it
cannot be said definitely the exact cause
of death of Morseth, the indications point
to suicide. What gives rise to the suicide
theory is the fact that the body was fully
clothed and in the pockets were found
about twenty-five stones, the weight of
which was twelve and one-half pounds
1t is generally thought that Morseth. due
to losing employment, became despOnd-
ent. He was an industrious person and
of good habits, and not known to have
an enemy. This fact and that he had no
money, has a tendency TO explode the
murder theory

The thimble was originally called a
thumb bell by the English, because
worn on the thumb, then a thumbler,
and finally its present name. 1t was
. Dutch invention, and was first
brought to England in 1895. Thimb!es
were formerly made only of iron and
brass, but in comparatively late years
they have been made of gold, silver
steel, horn, ivory and even glass and
pearl. In China beautiful carved pearl
thimbles are seen, bound with gold
and with the end of gold. The first
thimble introduced into Siam was
bridal gift, from the king to the
queen; it is shaped like a cactus bud,
made of gold and thickly studded with
diamonds arranged to spell the queens

a telegram came from Monboddo, and a
few hours later the sender of the message
himself appeared. He was dressed in
new suit of black broadcloth, and, hay

reputable. In obedience to received in
structions, he asked for Mr.. Jethroe
Jones, and on his being announced by the
waiter he made solemn bow to the two
strange gentlemen he saw before him,
and set his new silk hat gingerly upon
the table before him.

Monboddo, hearing a voice he knew,
but not seeing anybody who correspond

part of the great resort. 1t is within
a very short distance of the famous

been properly graded. laid out and
street lines curbed.
The Ventnor Development Company
has acquired forty of the finest lots in
the entire tract. and they are being
offered at prices that are at present
exceedingly low. There seems to be
little room for doubt but that the
property will rapidly grow in value.
