In a recent. expedition to Peru Mr..

At these heights men have lived for
many generations, having become ac-
climatized to the rarefed air. Many
Of them lived in chimneyIess and win

A cloth damped with milk Is good for

ONE METHOD OF BECOMING
MERCHANT PRINCE

There was an old geezer,
And he had a lot Of sense,
He started up in business
On a dollar n eighty cents.
The dollar was for stock, 81
And the eighty for an ad,
Which brought him three dollars
In a day. by dadi
Well, he bought more goods
And a little more space.
And he played that system
With a smile on his face.
The customers flocked
To his two by four.
Soon he had to hustle
For a regular store.
Up On the square
Where the people pass
He gobbled up a corner Z
That was all plate glass.
He fixed up the windows
With the best he had
And told them all about Il
In a half page ad.
He soon had 'em coming
And never, never quit,
And he wouldn't cut down
On his ads one jit.
And he's kept things humming
In the town ever since
And everybody calls him
The Merchant Prince.
Some say it's luck
But that's all bunk
He was doing business
When times were punk!
People have to purchase
And the geezer was wise
He knew the way to get 'em

ASKS SLAYER BE FREED;
BLAMES VICTIMS WIFE

LA CROSSE.-That John Beier,
sentenced to life imprisonment fer the
murder of Nick Biesen, his farmer en-
ployer, was ''vamped" by Mrs. Biesen
and was not master of his own mind,
is the plea set forth by his attorney,
who applied to Governor Blaine for a
conditional pardon or communication OF
sentence for Beier.
Mrs. Biesen was a woman of
worldly knowledge and experience
and the mother of five children" the
petition recites. "She first met Beief
when he was only Is. BY subterfuges
and wiles known only to women she
gained and held control over Beier
and refused to allow him to leave
her"
The petition summarizes the evil
dence taken in court, telling how
Beier was kept hidden in small
room in the house and how on the
morning Biesen was killed, Beier
heard the Biesens quarreling. Mrs.
Biesen fed to the room where Beier
was hidden and the latter shot Biesen
with a revolver, later shooting him
with a shotgun to make it appear the
later had committed suicide.

YOUTH MISSING; FALSE
ARREST CHARGE FAILS

quilted of the charge OF false irapris-
onment preferred against him by
George Bayne, formerly of Lynxville,
but now living in Grant county, be
fore Judge Sherman E. Smalley in cir
cult court. The charge grew out Of
the arrest Of Bayne on complaint Of
his mother. When examined by two
physicians, the youth was declared
sane. The probate court at the time,
however, reprimanded the youth and
suggested that he leave the neignbor-
hood, which he did. The trial had
progressed half the day before it was
discovered that Bayne was not pres
ent when he was called as witness
for adverse examination. Sheriff Her
old was sued for $4,000 damages.

TRAFFIC BEGINS OVER
HACKETT BRANCH ROAD

Some traffic east and west is going
over the new Hackett branch route in
Beetown, running toward Blooming
ton although the route is note entirely
completed. The road swings north
from the bluff west of Porter's bridge
and continues up Hackett valley
almost without a hill to Bloomington.
The fat over the lower end is taken
care of with half mile of cement.
Several substantial cement bridges
span the various branches that wend
their way toward Grant river. The
new route is said to represent adj
vanced engineering ideas although
the general lay opinion is that it does
not justify the outlay Of money made.

DECIDES SCHOOL CASE
FOR DEFENDANT DIST.

Circuit Judge S. E. Smalley, has de-
cided the case of Platteville Joint
School District, No. 4, against the
contractors and the bonding company
in favor of the district.
The case arises out Of the failure
of the contractors to complete the
work, which was taken over and fin
ished by the district. The action was
brought to recover the difference be-
tween the contract price and the
total amount expended by the district,
and for damages caused by the de-
lay.
The amount recovered exceeds
$4,000, and $1,400 for the delay be-
sides the cost Of the action.
The case has been pending in the
court for over a year and was tried
at Lancaster last February before the
court, a jury having been waived
