sToUGHToN MYSTERY SOLVED.
Return of Ex-Mayor Becker After
Year and Half Absence.

By the return Of Geo. w. Becker to
his home here Saturday evening was
solved the most battling case of mys-
ferrous disappearance that has ever
been experienced in our city. In COM
pany with his nephew, William Wester-
field, Mr.. Becker arrived on the 8:O4
train from Conway Springs, Kansas,
where he was seen and recognized week
before last by VIM. Gould of this city,
and whittier Mr.. Westerfeld went from
Fort Atkinson last Wednesday to as
certain if Mr. Gould was right in his
assertion.
Since his arrival, Mr.. Becker has
been busy shaking hands with old
neighbors and townspeople and respond
ing to their cordial greetings, and he
himself makes it plain that he is very
glad to be back to the place from which
he so mysteriously disappeared nearly
year and half ago. Concerning the
motives that irnpelled him to disappear,
he intimated that he would have moth
ing to say, and stated that he knew
nothing of his wife's illness until told
of it by his nephew last Thursday,
when he at once made ready to return
home. He states that ever since the
day he left Madison he has been in the
employ of construction firm and has
been in Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma and
New Mexico, finishing up brick laying
and building jobs that for some reason
or other had not been completed by the
contractors.
Mr.. Becker went to Madison from
here, Monday, March 20, of last year.
In the eighteen months since, reports
of his having been seen here and there
have been current, but all appear to
have been without foundation, and Mr..
Gould's conviction that he had located
Mr.. Becker was by no means shared by
all who heard of it.
Mr. Westerfeld, who was sent to in
vestigate the matter, arrived in Con-
way Springs-a small place in southern
Kansas - last Thursday evening, and
upon locating Mr.. Becker told him of
his wife's helpless condition as the re-
suit of an apoplectic stroke, and Mr..
Becker Immediately prepared to return
home, the two leaving Conway Springs
Friday morning. Mr.. Westerield broke
the news to Mrs. Becker, who was
overioyed to see her husband, and it is
thought that she will now recover from
the effects Of the apoplectic stroke that
she suffered some weeks ago.
Except for being little more gray,
Mr.. Becker appears just as he did a
year and half ago. -Stoughton Cour-

Another Interurban Bluff.

With the expiration Saturday of the
six months extension Of the Cincinnati
Construction Co. s franchise that was
granted by the council last March, pre-
sumably has closed another chapter of
an electric road between GAINESVILLE and
Madison, the first of which ventures
was launched nearly ten years ago. 1t
is true that Steve Madden, grading
contractor from Indian Ford, Friday
started with three teams to do some
filling on Fourth Street south of the
bridge, but it is highly probable that
this work is as futile bluff as appar-
emily was the grading commenced some
weeks ago within the city limits of Ed
gerton, but discontinued after three
days work.
The dirt hauled by Mr.. Madden s
teamsters is taken from the vicinity of
the American warehouse, and does not
come amiss where it is dumped, as
the side of the roadway is quite low.
Such being the case there would seem
to be no necessity of the city taking
steps to have Mr.. Madden discontinue
mis- filling at least not for the present.
1t would be interesting, however, to
know whence comes the money for ex-
pensive surveys and re-surveys, for the
salaries of ''chief engineers" and for
such grading as has been done so far

Milton Man Accidentally Shot.

Merton Place of Milton, former star
athlete of Milton college and physical
director at the Whitewater normal,
was taken to Mercy hospital in James
vile Sunday morning with his jawbone
shattered, a large hole plowed into the
left side of his neck, and his tongue,
nose and face peppered with shot, the
result of the accidental discharge of a
gun.
He left Whitewater for Lake Kosh-
konong at o'clock Sunday morning,
going in an auto, and had shot gun
with him in the seat. AS he drove over
the railroad tracks at Milton the ma
chine jolted sufficiently to discharge
the gun, an old style hammer weapon.
The discharge occurred as he jerked
the weapon into place.
Despite the awful wounds sustained,
Place stopped the machine, and half
blinded by the blood which ran down
his face, he staggered into the depot,
but was unable to arouse anyone, and
then managed to reach the home of
DR.. Crosley, who packed the deep hole
on the side of thesn neck and temporarily
dressed the other injuries. Miracu-
lousy, none of the large blood vessels
had been injured.
The mans face was so swollen and
covered with blood that DR.. Crosley
failed to recognize him and not until he
motioned for paper and pencil was able
to write message to send for his
brother. After a temporary dressing
the patient was taken to the GAINESVILLE
hospital in an auto, where more thor
ough examination was made.
Breathing was done with difficulty by
Place because of the shot lodged in his
tongue and the bottom of his mouth
and the impossibility of stopping the
| flow of blood there. 1t was not posi-
BILE to put him under the influence of
an anaesthetic while the physicians
were probing for the leaden pellets.
Place was unable to speak, lie down or
swallow His tongue was swollen to
several times it's normal size.
Being in splendid physical condition
and only "a years of age, it is thought
that, barring lockjaw, he will recover.

Talked Socialism.

Mr.. Ralph Korngold, the social dem
ocrat who spoke on the street Sunday
evening, thumped his listeners on the
head with socialism that the facts and
figures he presented stirred the gray
matter within to such an extent that
made them see the light as never be-
fore. Too bad the whole population
did not turn out to hear him, as social
ism is merely applied christianity, the
Golden Rule applied to every day
life. HANS NELSON.

One of the most encouraging feat
ures of the present monthsfor Wiscon-
sin farmers is the remarkable recovery
of pastures. Farmers report that the
pastures are better just now than they
would have been at this season but for
the long summer drouth. Especially is
this true of June grass. At no time
last spring was its growth as vigorous
as now. 1. looked for time as if the
roots were killed by the drouth, but it
appears now that they were simply
having good rest.
"A recent careful count by the max
ers of a standard type of gasoline car
shows that the motor, including mag
neto and carburetor, there are 1903
pieces; in the transmission system, 126;
in the steering column, 158, and so on,
forming total of 1853 separate parts
assembled to coordinate and cooperate
with one another in producing healthy

these parts is quite capable of becom-
ing the seat of an automobile disease,
which if neglected, will result in seri-
Gus complications, requiring the taking
down of the mechanism in the machine

KEEP BABY'S SKIN CLEAR

Few parents realize how many es-
Unable lives have been embittered
and social and business success pre-
vented by serious skin affections
which so often result from the neglect
of minor eruptions in infancy and
childhood. With but little care and
the use of the proper emollients, baby's
skin and hair may be preserved, puri-
fed and beautified, minor eruptions
prevented from becoming chronic and
torturing, disfiguring rashes, feelings,
irritations and chafings dispelled.
To this end, nothing is SO pure, so
sweet, so speedily effective as the con-
slant use of Cuticura Soap, assisted,
when necessary, by Cuticura Ointment.
