FLoATER IS FOUND
WITH HANDS TIED
Murder or Possible Suicide ls Scented
With Find In Water-Head
and Body Bruised.

MUSCAT1NE, Ia, April "a muir
der or possible suicide was revealed
Saturday in the finding OF floater In
the mississippi river opposite the city
Saturday About the wrists OF the
badly decomposed body were found
pieces of rope, indicating that at the
time OF his death his hands were tied.
The rope was broken when the body
was discovered, but as the corpse has
been in the water for at least a
month, it is possible that 1t could
have been cut by a Jagged rock or
rotted sufficiently to break upon q
slight strain.
The absence Of coat or vest would
further verify the murder or suicide
theory. That the man was robbed
and bound and then thrown into the
river is viewed as likley by local OH
GERS, who also admit Of the possibil-
ity that the man contemplating q de-
liberate suicide and fearing that he
might struggle back to shore after
making the leap into the water, tied
his hands to make his death certain.
His face and head were badly
bruised through coming in contact
with objects while the corpse foated
down the stream or dragged along the
bottom OF the river, and it would be
almost impossible to determine
whether or not he was slrTged before
being thrown into the rtser If such
would have been his fate.
The shoes and trousers worn by fhe
unfortunate man would iratcate that
he had been in fair circumstances.
His trousers are blue worsted and OF
good material, while his shoes which
are of black leather are OF late
style. 1t Is not viewed as likely that
any articles to identify him will be
found on his clothing, because of the
loss of coat and vest.
The floater was found by Henry
Hessler and George Snyder, two fish
ermen

COCOANUT OIL FINE
FOR WASHING HAIR

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, the less soap you use
the better.
Most soaps and prepared shanlpoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsihed
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
soap or anything else you can use for
shampooing, as this can't possibly IN
jure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance of
rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily, and removes every
particle of dust, dirt, dandruf and
excessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get muisificd cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family tor
months.

them what to eat and what to avoid.

JOHN y. GEARS BIRTHDAY.

John H. Gear, who was governor
of Iowa for two terms, Was born
at Ithaca, New York, on April Z, 1925.
1t was in 1913 that he came to Iowa
and located at Burlington which was
his home the remainder o. his life.
He served three terms as 4 member
OF the lower house of the general as
sembly of Iowa and was twice elect
ed speaker OF that body. Then for
two terms he was governor of the
state of Iowa; while he later rcpre-
scented the people Of this state in the
lower house of congress, and he was
twice elected United States senator
from Iowa. He died on July IA, 1900.
The nomination Of Gear for sena-
tor by the republican caucus OF the
Iowa legislature was the result Of a
long and rather bitter contest. Seven
names were submitted to the choice
of the Caucus" according to the
writer Of q volume published by the
State Hirtorical society OF Iowa.
Amid breathless silence a ballot was
taken and read. John H Gear had
received forty-two votes; while his
nearest competitor, William P. Hep
burn. had only nineteen. Lacey, Stone,
Cummins, and Perkins ran about
even. No one had received enough
votes to nominate, and so second
ballot was taken. This time Gear
forged ahead to fifty, drawing votes
from nearly all OF the other candi-
dates except Cummins, who gained
three. making him fifteen. And yet
there was no nomination The inter
est of the spectators was intense as
the names were called on the third
ballot. Gradually the Gear vote mount
ed above the result on the previous
ballot, but it was not until almost the
tory was made certain
