ENDS LIFE At MAD REVEL
Rich Young Partisan Fulhls Promise
Of "surprlse" by Shooting Him

Of "surprlse" by Shooting Him
self at Monte Carlo.
Paris, France.-Fernand Ravenez,
. wealthy young Partisan, committed
suicide under remarkable circum-
stances.
He gave supper to a number Of
his friends, at which the fun was fast
and furious. Several times during the
evening Ravenez cried: This is
nothing; a big surprise is awaiting
you at the end"
At dawn, when the party was
breaking up, Ravenez shouted; Nov
for the great surprise"
He arose abruptly and walked to-
ward the Gypsy orchestra, which was
playing a Hungarian rhapsody. His
friends, who were expecting some
practical joke, were stupefied to see
him suddenly place a pistol to his
temple and fire. He fell dead.
Inc only reason for his act is said
to be "sheer boredom" Ravenez was
only twenty years old, but he had be-
come a familiar figure on the Paris
boulevards, where his liking for
cloud" dress attracted attention.
Three years ago the young man
figured in a sensational duel. He
challenged professional swords
man as a result of cafe quarrel, but
the swordsman refused to fight on
the ground that Ravenez had not
reached his majority.
Undaunted, Ravenez issued a chal-
lenge dated the day he was eighteen
years old, and he devoted the inter.
vening time to rigorous training.
When he finally did meet his ad-
versary the contest was of the fiercest
character and 1t ended by Ravenez
plunging his sword into his oppo-
nent's bodJ

Walters SIS for getting past the lady
stage.
Patrolman Becker was the etiquette
expert and he said that when a wom-
ans skirt was up fourteen inches in
the rear and nine in front and had a
waist attached which was more or
less peekaboo, the limit had been
reached.
The Court agreed with Becker that
dress could be held too high, and
he approved of the arrest of Miss
Walters.
The patrolman added that he had
looked sharply and had seen no fluffy
ruffie stuff under the outer skirt, and
that was one reason why he thought
the gown was deficient.

MISSOURI LAND
GOVERNMENT TO BUILD LEVEE
FROM CAPE GiRARDEAU TO
JOIN THAT AT BIRDS POINT

Cape Girardeau News)

Southeast Missouri is attracting the
attention OF the whole country owing
to the fact that it offers greater and
more varied opportunities to home
seekers and investors. The swamp
lands are rapidly being transformed
into beautiful farms that produce a
bigger yield per acre than any other
land throughout the country. This
section of the country is practically
in its infancy and the next few years
government has decided to construct
a leyee beginning sou;a of the city
and following the banks Of the river
until connection is made with those
ton of the state. The government
will spend $4,000 on this levee. and
its completion will prevent all dan
gers from overflow and therefore have
a tendency to increase the valuation
of the low lands. The Little River
Drainage District is forming elabO.
rate plans for a main ditch that will
start in just south Of this city and
run almost directly south covering
the main portion of the low lands,
and empty into the St Francis river
in Arkansas. All other bitches which
have been constructed during the pas
few years will empty In this large
ditch and ultimately find an outlet in
the Mississippi through the St Fran
els.
1t is stated on authority that the
drainage people will not be ready for
business for almost two yaers, but
when they get their proposition In
shape, the work will be pushed as
rapidly as possible
The government has awarded the
contract for the building of the levee
with instructions that the work he
commenced at once.
This activity to drain the low lands

the safety of crops from further over
flows will be of untold value to all the

BOARD IN MEETING TO
DISCUSS NEW SITE
As Location for School
Building.

The Board of Education held a
meeting last night at which several
matters of Importance were discuss
ed, among others the site of the pro-
posed new school building. Since it
was ascerained that the Holt-Larkin
property on the west side of Rees
Park could not be had, Mrs. Larkin
having finally declined to sell her
property, the purchasing committee of
the board has been looking for other
sites, among them a portion of the
property of Mr.. Will NJ. Jones at the
northern end of the park. Mr.. Jones
has named price for the portion de-
sired as a school site, which includes
his residense, and it is quite likely
that satisfactory conclusion can be
reached The Jones property. by rea-
son of its higher elevation, is even
more desirable than the Holt-Larkin
properties as a school site, and the
difference in price is fully offset
thereby. 1t is to be hoped that the
matter of site will soon be settled
and work begun upon the school
building.

TO DIVIDE THIS TRACT
INTO 200 CITY LOTS
tldridge Land Bought By
R. 5. BrOodhurSt.

One hundred acres level land lying
within the city limits of Americus
were sold yesterday by Mr.. G. Morgan
Eldridge to Mr. r. s. Broadhurst, who
will at once develop the property
heretofore used for agricultural pur-
poses, and subdivide it into building
lots. This desirable tract, which will
doubtless be known as the Broadhurst
Addition, lies over in the northeast
ern section of the city and is ap-
preached by several streets Mr..
Broadhurst will, in due time, divide
it into city blocks and lay out lots of
uniform size for building purposes.
The placing of this large and hitherto
unbroken tract upon the market at an
early date will afford a needed oppor-
tunity to many to own homes, and
who are now denied that privilege,
because of the great scarcity and high
price of available building lots in
other portions of the city.
