gated.

Burlington, Aug. 14.-While at work
on lumber raft in front of the city
yesterday. Vincent Dodge, a laborer,
saw bottle floating IN the Mississippi
river, not far from shore. AS there was
q paper OF some sort In the bottle, the
man reached out from the raft and
got the bottle, which was securely fast
ened with a patented top.
With curiosity aroused, Dodge and
those about him speedily opened the
bottle and found the following infor-
nation written on a4Aather bulky piece
of paper:
ITO Whom it May Concern: This

bottle up tina, l, Jack White. jumped
into the Mississippi river at Daven-
port, Iowa. l have killed a man at ST.
Louis. Mo. and I don't want TO be put
in jail now. This was done Sept. II,
19o5.-Jack White"
Due to the fact that the bottle was
not perfectly alright the paper was
somewhat damp and this fact made it
hard 10 make out at first. The words
were all properly spelled, but there
was improper punctuation and capi-
taiization in few instances.
Upon learning the nature of the
message contained in the mysterious
bottle. Dodge turned it over to Officer
Jerry Despair. The paper on which
the note is written is a piece OF scrap
or wrapping paper about a foot square.
Ii is not even at the edges. indicating
that it was torn off carelessly.
There is a Possibility that there IS
something to the matter and that l.
was murderer's way of making a
confession before taking his life, or II
may be just the prank OF some one
who sought to have some fun by
taking" II up. TO watch results in the
event it was found.
The matter will likely be investi-
gated insofar as the few details make
it possible. and some interesting de-
velopmen;s may result. The fact that
a date is given will make it possible to
find out whether or not there was a
murder a the stated time in st. Louis.

ENGLISH CRITICISM OF GOLF
Bernard Darwin of London Times,
Writes Interestingly of His I'M
pressions of Chicago Players.

1t does us good once in awhile to
read the criticism of strangers, espe-
cially with regard to sports.
There has been in our midst for
some time Bernard Darwin, the golf
editor of the London Times, one of
the ablest experts commenting on this
wonderful game of our times. He has
recently visited several of the more
prominent golf courses about Chi
cage and has written most interesting
ly his impression of them, says the
Milwaukee Sentinel 1t is a source
of satisfaction to know that Darwin,
who is too great a man to write other
than he honestly thinks, has in the
main commended our golf courses and
estimated them favorably with some
of the famous ones of England
1t was also interesting to have Oar
win comment on the manifest interest
in the game by Chicago men He
was not a little surprised at the wild
enthusiasm of many of the players
over the mere probability of getting
into fOursome which would require a
mighty long wait at the tee and take
about three hours to finish.
His comment on this particular as
pect of the game was as follows: ITO
the pampered and effete Saxon there
would be almost irresistible tempta-
ton in the attraction of staying at
home altogether under such circum-
stances. But the cheerful golfer of
Chicago brushes these paltry, whim-
pering objections to one side and plays
the game with tremendous keenness,
and at the same time in a spirit of
friendliness and jollity and making
the best of every minute of a hard
earned holiday, which is a lesson to
US all. Any reasonably observant
visitor must, l think, bear witness to
this wonderful love of the game, and
it is, moreover, bearing good fruit, for
Chicago could put into the field a team
of young men under thirty that would
make q great fight of it with any city
in the golfing world.

PLAN FOR ICE HOUSE
Building Should Be Located on
Easily Drained Ground.
Protection From Searching Rays OF
Sun Is Also of lmportance--Saw-
dust Is Considered Best Mate
rial for Packing Walls.

The location of the ice house is i'm
portant 1t should be placed on ground
that is easily drained, and If possible
located beneath the shade of some
large tree that the beaming rays of
the sun may not beat on it in the
hot summer time. Here is a good
plan for building an ice house which
has been used by a number of farmers:
Make an excavation three feet deep
and Y by IL feet. Wall this up
with brick or cement blocks. letting
The wall extend two feet above the
ground. Dig trench and put in a
tile drain. Now put up the house.
using two by ten studding ten feet
long for the walls. Place the stud
ding two feet apart. Then board up
the building inside and out. A cheap
grade Of lumber may be used for in
side work A hollow space ten inches
wide will be left in the walls, and this
should be filled with sawdust. Straw
is not good for this purpose, and
should not be used, Either shingle
or felt roofing may be used for cover
ing, but one should be certain to get
the roof high enough so that he will
not strike his head when putting in
the ice. The door to ice house should
be two feet eight inches by six feet
eight inches or close to these dimen-
sion. Cheats should be nailed to the
inner and outer edges of the door fac
ing to hold ends OF boards that may
be slipped In and sawdust tamped
down between them Put coarse
cinders over the floor of ice house
and cover them with eight inches of
sawdust. Now the house is ready for
the ice. Cut the cakes of ice the
size to fit your ice box or refrigerator.
