LEFT THREE FAREWELL NOTES

Obsessed by the fear that some day he
would be killed by fellow-soldier. Harry
H. Hogentogler. member of Company c.
United States Engineer Corps. stationed
at Washington barracks, last night shot
himself in the heart while visiting Miss
Ida Todd at her home. % @ street north
west. He had previously made the sug-
gestion that the young lady, who is sew
enteen years old, die with him, and she
jokingly answered Sure" Hogentogler
was taken to the Emergency Hospital i'm
mediately afterward and. although the
surgeons could give no hope for recovery,
he was still alive at a late hour this aft
ernoon.
Miss Todd was absent from the room
when the shot was fired. The wounded
man called her to come to his aid, but
she feared he would kill her. Her screams
attracted John ]. Ernest, her brother-in-
law, from his room on the second floor.
DIR. X. Lee Spire reached the house a
few minutes later. He directed that the
wounded man be hurried to the hospital.
The ambulance was summoned and Ho-
Sentogier was soon on the operating
table. Surgeons found that the bullet had
penetrated the heart and deemed 1t un-
safe to attempt to remove 1t.
While on the operating table the
screams of the unconscious man aroused
patients In all parts of the hospital ana
were heard some distance from the build
ing.

Preventive Medicine
SMALLPOX.

Smallpox may be prevented by
vaccination. One successful vaccina-
ton gives partial protection against
smallpox. In such person the dis
ease is mild-varioloid. A second
successful vaccination gives a greater
protection, and a third successful
vaccination is absolute protection a.
gainst smallpox. The second and
third vaccination are very mild. The
protection given by vaccination is
temporary-lasts form five 10 seven
years. Revaccination then is necess-
ary if freedom from smallpox is desi-
red. Rarely is vaccination severe.
The very sore arms are due to in
fections from the skin.
To reduce these secondary infec-
tons, antiseptic precautions
should be used while vaccinating and
the area vaccinated should be KEEP,
clean and protected.

EXTENSION OF SERVICE.


The Wafrensbure State Normal
School is serving a larger number OF
students this Fall then usual.
In addition to an increased atten-
dance in residence, 108 students are
doing work outside of residence.
These students are carrying work
in extension classes, or by correspon-
dence. The Normal School supplies
text books and Library reference
books. Members of the Faculty meet
their classes regularly and tbe work
is done with the same thoroughness
as If done in residence. The work
being done by correspondence is
assigned to faculty members who
supply complete outlines of the work
required and students send IN weekly
written reports on the work done
the papers are corrected and graded;
the grades are placed to the credit of
the students and the corrected papers
are returned for their guidance in
succeeding work.
This school is further aiding the
teacher. by giving credit for Reading
Circle work done under the direction
of the Education Department of the
school; by this plan any teacher may
do work while carrying on their
school,, s sufficient to receive one half
the credits ordinarily made in one
quarter Of residence work.
These new departures the school
to 90 to students who cannot come to
it. This is as it should be. The
Normal Schools are supported by the
state that they may serve all the peo-
pie of the state. This school is cer-
tanly striving to discharge its full
duty IN this,,regard.
In recent years, the state has been
liberal in its support OF this school.
The plant is an excellent one. The
entire equipment is best educational
thought of today. The organization
of departments conserves the students
time and energies in the best way
possible and the high recognition
given tv graduates of this school, moi
only in Missouri, but in other staters,
is the best proof of the high standard
of the work that is done. To higt
recognition it given IN other states fol
the good of Missouri schools. Too
many are induced to leave our own
state because it is made to their in.
terest to do SO.

.ows to''maintain their milk yield on

cows to..maintain their milk yield on
it2
Butterfat is scarce. The price is
high and is going higher. It will
pay to produce more butteriat, but it
cannot be done by feeding they
COW fall grass, corn stalks and timoth
hay. I: is also a mistake to neglect
the cows for few weeks, intending
to make amends by liberal feeding
when winter comes. 1t is important
that the milk yield never be allowee
to decline. 1t is almost impossible
to bring a COW back to her normal
flow after it has been permitted to de-
cline.
1t is important that fall feeding be
commenced now before the milk flow
is cut down by short grass and scant
feed. Those who are fortunate
enough to own a silo should give
each COW about IS pounds of silage
a day. Every COW should have all
the clover, alfalfa, or cowpea hay she
will clean up. This will amount to
about lbs. day if the silage is fed.
If silage is not fed more hay should
be given. 1t is we'll to remember
that cowpea hay is one of the cheap
est of dairy feeds.
Cows giving over gallon of milk
a day should be fed grain. A good
mixture is corn chcp mixed with bran
or cottonseed meal. Corn and cob
meal may be substituted fol the chop.
A pound of this mixture should be
given each day for every 3 pounds OF
milk produced.
The best of cows will not produce
milk unless fed liberaly on the righ,
kind of feed.

BE. Sylvester Of Kansas City who is
representing Kansas City and London
capitalists was in Bagnell the latter
part of last week taking option on
river land relative to damming the
Usage river at the William Conner
farm above Bagnell.
The dam is to be thirty feet high
for the purpose of using the water
power to generate electricity. Sew
eral electric lines are contemplated
to be completed in the next few years
to Jefferson. City from Southern and
Western parts OF the State, and in
that event this company which is ow
taking options on the aiver land near
the point of the proposed dam site
will furnish the electrical power for the
different lines and will also furnish
lights for the nearby citi!s and towns.
lhis proposed dam will in no way
hinder navigation on the Usage but
will furnish slack water for a number
Of miles above Bagnell, thus raising
the water on several shallow shoals
and making navigation more certain

How 70 Cure Bad Cold and End
Grippe Misery in Few Hours.
Nothing else that you can take
will break your cold or end grippe
so promptly as a dose OF Pape's
Cold Compound every two hours un'
til three consecutive doses are taken.
The most miserable headache,
dullness, head and nose stuffed up,
feverishness, sneezing, running OF
the nose, sore throat, mucous Ca
tarrhal discharges, soreness, stiff
ness, rheumatism pains and other
distress begin to leave after the
very first dose.
Pape's Cold Compound Is the re-
suit of three years research at a
cost Of more than fifty thousand
dollars, and contains no quinine,
which we have conclusively demon
strated Is not effective in the treat
ment Of colds or grippe.
Take this harmless Compound as
directed, with the knowledge that
there Is no other medicine made
anywhere else in the world, which
viii cure your cold or end grippe

as 25-cent package of Pape's Cold

Locomotive Scampered Down Track
and Bumped Into Another.
st. Paul. February 2S.-The crews
of two st. Paul road switch engines
had a narrow escape from death or
serious injury about 10 a. m. yester-
day when Engine $40, driven by
William Green of Minneapolis, got
away from him on the hill at the
Upper levee. At the foot of Chest
nut it "sideswiped" Engine 437,
wrecking both cabs and tearing holes
in the sides of the locomotives. The
runaway engine was derailed. ~.
Patrick Starr, engineer, and Joseph
Bloyer, fireman, the crew of Engine
AT. jumped, and Starr received a
severe sprain to his left ankle. Bloy-
er was nnhurt The seat In the cab
which he had been occupying was
smashed. Bloyer and Starr saw the
runaway engine coming for several
blocks, but did not leap until they
were certain that it was out of the
engineers control
Green and his fireman, whose
name could not be learned, also
Jumped, but were unhurt. The
Omaha local, due in st. Paul from
Mankato at 10:45 a. m, and the
Sioux City train Of the same road,
due out Of st. Paul at 1910 a. m,
were delayed nearly an hour. Many
passengers on the Mankato train
walked into the city from the foot
Of Walnut street.
