'—The mys terious disappearance ot .T. L. Cahill, former superintendent of schools at grocery in Mitchell late in August Murdo. who bought the Golden Rule has Just became Known. He has not been seen or heard from since September 4, when he started to Mitchell from Murdo by car. His wife at Murdo, and Hellgeland Ren ner, the former proprietor of the Golden Rule, have been unable to secure any trace of him since that date. The only possible explanation which has been offered in the case is that Mr. Cahill might have been tem porarily affected mentally, as there Is no indication of financial or fnjnily troubles which might have led him to leave in this manner. He was ill with Influenza early last spring and it is believed this possibly may have left after effects. He did not have any large amount or money with him at the time of his disappearance, so it is rot believed that he could have been the victim of foul play. Mr. Cahill, who has been In charge of the Murdo schools for 10 years, came to Mitchell in August and closed a deal for the purchase of the Golden Rule grocery. He had previously been In the grocery business. At the same time he purchased the Pat Condon residence, planning to move hie fam ily here as soon as possible. He made substantial payments on both the store and the hotfse. On the afternoon of Labor Day Mr. Cahill went to Murdo by train to see his wife and their daughter who was to enter school in Mitchell. He had rented a room for her here to be used until Mrs. Cahill moved to Mitchell aad they obtained possession of their sew home. On the following day he started back to Mitchell and not a' trace has been found of him since that time. His disappearance was not known until Mrs. Cahill tale phwned to Mitchell to learn why he did not write to her. and It was then ^ound that he had never returned to Mitchell. Attorneys who have been Investi gating the case find all of his affairs In excellent condition. It was thought tor a time that he might have been ill and taken tt a hospital, but sev eral hospitals In the state which were communicated with, reported that no person answering his description had been brought In as a patient.

When Coolldge was governor of Mas sachusetts he and Mrs. Coolldge made their home at the Adams house, and their regular waiter there, “Mac," who Is known to many hundreds of Bos tonians, told a writer for the Boston. Sunday Advertiser a lot about their! gastronomlcal tastes. Said he: “Their breakfast order was always the same—Two Special No. l*s, grape fruit for Mra.

It consisted of two small pots of coffee, graham muffins and fruit. “Mr. Coolldge would give the order and call for a dean glasa and a whole orange.

"Sometimes she would have a steak, But Mr. Coolidge always made his din ner on eereal—usually grape nuts and tea or milk. "He was just as quiet at their family meals as he Is In public life. Hardly ever said a word. Breakfast over, he would go away In silence. “They seldom had guests, except Mr. and Mrs. Frank W. Steams, who were with them frequently. "Sometimes there would be one or two-others with them at dinner. On those occasions Mrs. Coolidge would try every way in the world to get him to join In the conversation. Nothing doing.

TO HAUL AWAY MOUNTAIN Workmen Near Bisbee, Ariz., Ar* Trying a New Venture in Copper Mining. For some time past, it seems, work men near Bisbee, in Arizona, have been trying a new venture in copper mining. Instead of following the pre scribed method of hollowing out a mountain and using shafts and tun nels, they dig it down with seam shovels and cart it away. One can form some idea of the magnlture of the task when he learns that it will take more than sixteen years to com plete it, that during the process ap proximately 25,000,000 tons of copper ore will be carted away, and that from it something like a billion pounds of copper will be extracted. During the five years the work has been carried on five million cubic yards or more of material have been taken from the mountain, though that amount does not represent pure ore. As fast as the material is dug it is hauled over a fifteen-mile railway to smelters and mills, where it is treated. An engineer humorously remarks that when the huge pile is gone there will be room for the town to grow. Wanted a Fat One. The director went out on the lot and bawled for a fat actress. They sent him a fat actress. “Have you a fur coat?” he asked. “Yes,” she replied. “I’ll rent it from you for $10 a day.” said the director. He then bawled for a fatter actress and went through the same line ot con versation with her. “What in heck are you driving at?” demanded the general'"manager. “We’re filming a big Alaska scene to morrow. Our lovely heroine will wear three fur coats—her own, which fits her, and two on top of that.”— Boston Globe. Stung by an Adder. “Henry, you look very pale.
