Big TosUn Ball
OF, Quality Ridge

Friday eve we were called to the
Big Masquerade given as a surprise
on Byrl Bennett and of course it. was
time well spent, a regular Big Town
Ball About 35 boys masked and
anyhow, 40 girls. And some of the
best makeups we ever saw. Away
back in the IS Hundreds there were
always two or three nlasquerades
every winter but there never was one
that had anything on this one. You
simply couldn't tell who anyone was.
1.-THE Gold Dust Twins" just couldn't
be beat, the young lad in the nicker-
booker pants, red-spotted tie and
striped socks, was just fine. Then
came the Judging. Dan Wood, John
Fuller and James Hore, Judges. Mil
dred Bennett as Wannita, Ellsworth
Landin as the Duke, the most ride
ulous Willie Place, and Mrs. John
Fuller. If the judging had been left
to us we would have had to give 1T
to all of 'em. AS it was big job.
A dandy big feed and just a bowling

ANOTHER GORILLA AT LARGE

CaSsviIle village marshall Sehmelz
is quite positive that the gorilla or
wild animal seen in the neighorhood
of Beetown a few weeks ago paid a
visit to- this village one evening last
week. And the marshall himself was
the victim of this wild animal" AS
the marshall was on his beat during
the wee sma' hours of morning,
200-tb. porker disappeared from the
pen near his home and not sign OF
the animal-the hog-could be found
Incredible as this may seem it is

animal, other than gorilla, could

these parts will come to sudden
end .-Cassville Record.

ROUGH ON BANK ROBBERS

(From the ShuIlsburg PICK q Gad]
A new device for foiling bank rob
bers with drug fumes and cayenne
pepper has recently been invented.
The windows of the paying tellers
soon will have ventilator 50 con
structed that by pressing a foot bar
the cashier sends a stream of red
pepper into the bandits eyes and up
slides a bullet proof shield to pro-
feet the teller or cashier. The foot
bar can be adjusted so that light
doses can be given to customers who
annoy the employees by lUafing at the
paying window.

John Svanda Kills Wife
Then Takes Own
Life.

John Svanda Muscoda, shot and
killed his wife, Sonia, last Friday
morning, using q revolver. He then
killed himself.
Neighbors Of the Syandas heard the
shots but were afraid to investigate.
The children of Mrs. Svanda by for
mer marriage, made the discovery OF
the tragedy when they came home
from school at noon.
District Attorney ClementsOn was
advised of the shooting Friday noon
and upon request Of the Muscoda au-
thorities authorized an inquest. This
was held by Justice OF the Peace Ed
gar Frank at Muscoda Friday after
noon. Evidence indicated that Syanda
mad beaten his wife severely during
the quarrel that preceded the double
Staying Her clothing disarranged
from terrific struggle, the woman
had been forced to the corner of a
bedroom, thrown to the floor and the
revolver placed against her temple
and discharged. The skin and hair
were burned by the explosion.
Svanda then turned and walked to
the other end of the room, where he
placed the muzzle of the revolver in
his mouth, pulled the trigger and
fell dead by the side of his wife. So
runs the analysis of the case as pro-
pounded by Justice Frank.
Efforts recently made to connect
up the double killing with a love and
jealousy motive are scoffed at by
people who knew Svanda and his
wife. They say that their quarTels
arose over property Mrs. Syanda had
acquired through previous marriage
with a man named Matt Hawk. The
first husband killed himself with a
shotgun several years ago, leaving his
wife with five children. His property
consisted of a 4G-acre farm near Mus
coda, worth, roughly, $4,000 1t is
said that Svanda and the woman were
friendly before the death of Haylik.
Soon after Hawk died the two were
married. 1t is said also that Syanda
had wife and children in Bohemia
and that he deserted these when he
came to the Bohemian settlement at
Muscoda a few years ago.
Quarrels had been frequent be-
tween Svanda and his wife for long
time and their disagreements were
matter Of common knowledge.

Tits Interpretation was taxi u as

wrote President Harding that the
government was boouegging by per-

Solution Of the problem, Wayne
B. Wheeler, general counsel of the
Anti-Saloon League, declared to-
night. lies in excluding all SHIPS that
sell liquor from American ports. "
Legislation TO this end is bethg con-
sidered, he said.
The new regulations were not
drafted with the intention of settling
the question of liquor on shipping
board vessels, Mr.. Wise said, and in
fact. were written before that ques-
ton arose. As drawn however, he
said. they would apply equally to Am

Thyssen, Leader In Teuton
=. Industry, Joins Octo-
genarians.

Berlin, June 17.-August Thys-
sen, one of the outstanding figures
in Germany's industrial life, has en-
tered tn ranks of the octogenarians.
Thyssen's chief significance lies in
the fact that he was the real creator
Of the so-called mixed type" in the
GErman mining industry. He was
the first man to recognize the close
relationship existing between coal
anu iron on a large scale, and later
linked up the entire iron production
Of Sestphalia with the Minette dis
trirt Of Lorraine.
As early as 1867 Thyssen owned
number Of small iron works which he
dsE Hoped into colossal enterprises,
comprising practically all phases Of
tlp iron industry. His monumental
work in Westphalia was the mine
KNOWN under the name of the Ger
man Kaiser" while the "Hagendin-
gen" in Lorraine represented the
highest type Of modern industrial
efficiency.
This valuabl piece Of property was
los, TO him as we'll as TO German
industrial world by the decision Of
fhe Versailles Treaty.
In contrast 70 other large mining
coucurns in Germany he mad no ef-
fort TO compensate himself for this
loss by buying up remaining avail
able German enterprises, but by the
ala Of m liquidation sums allowed
him by the German Government,

TREAT COTTON LIKE WOOL

II is getting more and more diff
cult for a person TO tell whether a
suit of clothes is made Of pure wool
or not. Examination under the mi
scroscope is the only sure test. There
is now patent process whereby cot
ton is made to assume the properties
of wool not only as TO its feel, ap-
pearance and caloric qualities but
chemically as well. This wool-like
cotton is the product of slow decom-
position of protein substances due to
strong mineral acids. The cotton

by the shipping papers and vessels

to a foreign country and going for
ward on the same vessel as that on
which they arrival are expected from
the provisions of this and will be sub
ject only to customs regulations"
This later provision. according to
Mr.. Wise, was the lOophole thru
the results of the Supreme Courts
decision holding in transit shipm cuts
which foreign passenger liners evade

Board vessels would be entitled to tine
same treatment. he declared.
It was freely predicted tonight
at prohibition headquarters, however,
that an early opinion would be forth

question of liquor on American ships.
