SHERIFF GOES INSANE.
Benton County Official Plans to Kill
Himself but is Prevented
Worries Over Work.

Vinton Sept 9-Worrying over
the responsibilities of his Office laid
upon him, Sheriff r. f. Wykoff be-
came temporarily deranged.
AT two O'Clock Saturday morning
he arose and went to his office in the
court house where he wrote long
letter to his wife, telling her that he
contemplated self-destruction and
giving directions for the disposition
of his body.
When he returned to his home at
the Jail his wife and son were there
to meet him. They had suspected
something of the kind was coming
and had been preparing for it. They
took away the sheriff's revolver and
finally locked him in the cage where
he spent the night. Saturday morn
ing he was examined by the COM
missfoners of insanity. He was very
much excited at that time, but dur
ing the day he had cooled down
greatly and by evening he seemed
perfectly retiCnal
Not much was known of Mr.. Wy
koft until he was elected sheriff and
came to Vinton from his home in
Polk township last January. He
has seemed like nervous man, one
who is scrupulors in the perform
ance of every detail of his duty and
who fairly staggels under any weight
of responsibility.
Sheriff Wykoff has spent a con-
siderable amount of time and men
tai thought on the Henry Knnte case.
Knute was found dead in his livery
stable one day last November. His
body was underneath a hole in the
loft down which hay was put. The
theory advanced on the spur of the
moment was suicide. Roy Pierce, a
livery stable hange-on, a few weeks
ago, while intoxicated, talked of a
possible murder i'm the case and acted
as though he might know something
of it. An investigation was COM
menced by Sheriff Wykoff and Pierce
was arrested. He is now in jail held
to the grand jury.

HOleS In Cheese" Mystery Solved.
Washington, d. c., Sept. 9.-The
department of agriculture has solved
the mystery of holes in cheese. The
solution is embalmed in a neat scien-
tific treatise just issued and bearing
the title, The Cases of Emmental
Cheese"
Emmental cheese, be il known.
covers the Schweitzer, or Swiss va
riety, that has huge eyes or holes
running through it. The holes real
ly make the cheese, because it is by
their spacing and number that the
expert Classics the cheese as good or
bad.
The so called eyes in the Swiss
cheese are its most marked charac-
teristics, the department sharyps de-
teristics, the department sharps de-
cial value is largely dependent upon
the proper size and spacing of these
eyes. While the hole is not the whole
OF it much depreciation in value of
this popular variety of cheese is
known to exist because of defects in
eye formation. Hence to the biolog-
ic2l chemist, their formation is faS-
cfnating subject, and to the cheese
maker matter of great Importance. -
The eyes are caused by chemical
changes in the cheese. They are
pockets formed by the gase' eener-
ated in the ''ripening" process. In the
emmental types, these gases are car
bon dioxide and nitrogen.

Interesting Wood Exhibit.

An interesting exhibit in Floral
Hall at the fair that attracted much
attention was the display of the
varieties of wood with which ALBANIA

severance and patient research on
the part of Master Karl Seelig, one
Of our twelve-year old Waukon boys
who has prepared a section about 2
inches il length and labeled and
mounted them in an artistic manner.
Perhaps the most surprising feature
to many is the fact that he has Sc
cured thus far eighty eight different
varieties of wood which grow in ALA
