YOUTH STAYS COUSIN
AND COMMITS SUICIDE

A murder and suicide took place
near st. GATHERINGS church, eight
miles south of Dubuque, early We'd
nesday morning. The murdered per-
son was Veronica Manders, 16, daugh-
ter of a farmer. The murderer and
suicide was Joseph Manders, a. the
girls cousin. The girl was last seen
alive about nine o'clock when she
left some friends after attending
church. AS she failed to come at
noon her brother searched, finding
the body in field. There was bull
let hole in her neck.
Suspicion was directed toward Eric
Manders, her cousin, as the day sped
and he failed to appear. After re-
lentless search his body was found
the next morning in a lonely ravine.
A bullet hole in his temple and
rifle in his arms told the method of
death.
The families Of the two Young pcO
pie are at loss TO attach motive
to the double tragedy. The young
people were on good terms and had
never had a love affair that tAel:
parents knew Of. 1t is assumed tia,
young MandeTs accidentally shot his
cousin and in horror and grief over
the act wandered a while and then
took his own life.

FRIEND OF
ORPHAN DIES
IN FAR WEST
ReU. L. CafchpoLe's
Funeral Held
Yesterday

Rev L. G. Catchpole, Baptist
clergyman, we'll known in Grant
country through frequent visits, died
recently at Riverside, California,
where he had gone with his wife to
spend the winter. Besides his wife he
is survived by a son, Kenneth, in New
York City. The funeral was held
Tuesday with interment at River
Falls, where he had former pas
torate. For a number Of years
Rev. Catchpole was field work
er for the Children's Home Finding
Society of Wisconsin, beneficent
institution doing charitable work
in providing homes for orphans and
children whose parents were unfit or
unable to care for them. Mr.. Catch
pole was warm friend of George
Brown, l.. D. Eastman and other old
members of the county board. He
appeared here each fall asking for a
contribution which he invariably got.
Then his face beamed and his warm
smile was like a benedictiOn on the
county board members, some of
whom are rough and ready, but have
hearts as big as Washtubs just the
same.
Rev. Catchpole was a lover of little
children and Charles Dickinson re-
lates that the old gentleman often
tended his little charges just like d
mother would. His alert eyes, rosy
skin, white hair and beard and clerl-
cal appearance made him noticeable
wherever he went. Yes, Rev. Catch
pole will be missed.

Sunday the roads good enough to

CAN TAP ELECTRIC LIGHT
WIRES FOR RADIO MUSIC

A new development in radio by
which music, news, lectures and
other forms of speech can be receiv-
ed by attaching the usual receiving
instrument to the electric lamp and
eliminating the antennae as we'll as
relieving congestion of the wireless
broadcasting in the air, was an
nounced Friday by the inventor, Maj.
Gen. Squirer, chief of the signal corps
office of the army at Washington.
The first public demonstration Of
the new wired wireless" was held
in signal corps headquarters in
Washington Friday. The whole oper-
alton Of installing the device for re-
ceivng consisted merely Of moving a
bulb from the lamp on Gen. Squirer's
desk, inserting the receiving plug in
the same manner as electric fans,
vacuum cleaners and fiat irons are at
tached to lighting circuits. The
broadcasting station, it was explain
ed, connected with the lighting cir
cult through lamp receiver at an
other point.
The invention the general said,
could bring to every home where
there is an electric lighting system,
concerts which previously have been
broadcasted through the air and re-
ceived through the antennae.
Broadcasting over great distances
by use of the invention is believed TO
be possible, but that use has not been
attempted as yet. The idea was con-
ceived less than a week ago, General
Squirer said.

ed to be filmed although offers o.
millions have been made them.

BUTTERMAKER URGES
GRADING OF CREAM

That farmers Of Wisconsin are los
ing hundreds of thousands Of dollars
annually because of the production OF
poor cream was the statement made
Friday by State Secretary II. G. Lar
son of the Wisconsin Buttermakers'
association. Larson declares that
this is due to the butter makers mix
ing poor grade of the butter.
1.-The practice Of mixing poor cream
with good cream" declared Larson,
land pro-rating the loss, resulting
from the manufacture Of poor butter,
among all of the patrons, must be
changed if square dealing is to be the
rule. Grade the cream and pay for
it according to its quality.
Il maintain that no creamery own
er or creamery board of directors has
the right to mix poor cream of one
patron with good cream of another
patron and from that mixture cause
to be manufactured butter that will
not bring the top market price,
thereby resulting in a loss of from
three to seven cents per pound to the
patron that produces good cream. If
dairying is to succeed, which it must
because we cannot get along unless
it does, justice demands that the
patron who produces good cream
should be paid for it,"

CONSTRUCTION ON POTOSI
ELECTRIC LINE TO BEGIN

Construction on the new electric
transmission line from Lancaster to
Potosi will begin soon. The pole line
will go south from Aupperle's corn
ers to village, following the road to
the Rock School, thence west to the

BUSINESS PICKING UP
IN OLD BADGER STATE

Business is picning up in Wisconsin
according to records Of Elmer S. Hall
secretary of state. Over 100000 was
received by the state in incorporation
fees during the fiscal year July, 1926,
to July, 1921.
A slump was recorded from July,
1921, to Jan. 1, 1929, when the fees
received from new interpretations
were only $9S.429, but these last
three months show a considerable re-
covery.
Some $40 new corporations have
been formed in Wisconsin in the past
80 days, while 344 existing corpora
tons have filed amendments to their
articles of incorporation. This, with
similar fees, has brought the state
$4,000 in the past three months.
1t is expected that this gain will
continue to the end of the fiscal year,
and that the years receipts will ex-
coed those of the previous fiscal year.

BREEDER FINDS THAT
CIT PAYS TO ADVERTISE

John Hollenberger, prominent Bee
town farmer and breeder of fine cat
tie, has become convinced that suit
able display advertising in a county
paper of good circulation is good
business for a farmer.
Along in February John came in
the Herald office to run a want adj
offering II cows and q twoyear-
olds, II steers and nine heifers, for
sale The man on the desk talked
display advertising and John saw the
point, taking a S. adj.
He told the Herald man Friday that
the day after the ad appeared six men
were in his yard early in the morning
to buy Shorthorns and Jerseys. One
feature displayed prominently was
that abortive stock was unknown on
Johns farm. All the stuff sold i'm
mediately and at good prices.

TO CONSOLIDATE HAZEL
GREEN RURAL SCHOOLS

HAZEL GREEN.-At public meet
ing held here last February the con-
census Of opinion favored the build
ing Of a gymnasium and community
building, two stories and basement,
the addition being regarded as part
of public school building.
Subsequently it was decided before
going ahead with this laudable bit Of
enterprise to increase the school dis
trict of consolidation with some Of
the nearby rural schools. This has
been partly carried out and when the
work OF consolidation has been effect
ed the new building will be erected.
A community building is greatly
needed in the little mining town but
far more necessary is suitable
gymnasium for the boys and girls att
tending school. The present quarters
are cramped and far from being up
to date. With regulation floor much
Roadway will be made in athletics
and the money will be well expended.

BUNDLE
OF "EERALDS" GO ASTRAY

The entire package Of Heralds for
Bloomington subscribers went COM
pletely astray last week. The office
was not aware of anything wrong
until Saturday when subscribers
began calling up the office. Extra
papers were sent over Monday to
make up the deficiency in so far as
the office was able to.
Tracing the miss down we find that
instead OF the papers being sent
across as usual for a trade between
carriers they were sent by pouch via
Glen Haven, insecurity wrapped for
such a long trip. AS a result the
chances are the papers were lost.
The Lancaster office has assured
the Herald that they will endeavor
to send them across in the future.
