Following an operation per-
formed two weeks previous,
Robert P. Schneider, president of
the Schneider Granite Company,
died at his home in St. Louis
Sunday afternoon. Deceased was
forty four years of age and a son
of the late P. w. Schneider. He
had been in poor health for a long
while. Besides his widow, Mrs.
Emma Schneider, (nee Steffens) J,
he is survived by his mother, Mrs.
P. w. Schneider, a sister, Mrs.
Mamie Block, and a brother,
Charles w. Schneider. The fun
eral occurred Tuesday. The de-
ceased was we'll known here, hav-
ing spent many years of his life at
the quarries in Graniteville. To
the bereaved we extend sympa-
thy.
Ed, Register-Our American peo-
pie have heard of the famine in
China but do not seem to realize
its awful extent. The wonderful
revolution has been accomplished
with comparatively little blood
shed. Even at Marking the i'm
perialist soldiers retreated in
peace, and reports of losses have
been exaggerated. But millions
may die of starvation. This, at
least, should be known in Ameri-
ca-for famine relief, u mission
airy boards Of the various Evan
gelical churches are second to
none, for promptness, efficiency
and intelligence. Any of our To-
cal pastors can see that any con-
tributions will be forwarded, if
necessary, by telegraph. Is not
this better than to feed degenerate,
dangerous tramps?

Rev. A. S. Cocker who has been
i'll for the past three months, was
taken to st. Louis last Saturday
for examination. He was ac-
companied by Mrs. Cocker and DR.,
Harry Parker and A. j. Slack,
After arriving at Tower Grove il
was found that he could not be &C.
commodated at the Deaconess
Hospital, a Methodist institution.
hence was taken to the Frisco
Hospital upon advice of the spec.
ialist who met the party at the
Tower Grove station. At this in
stitution he was subjected to 6
thorough examination, and while
it was found that an operation
was necessary to relieve him o.
his trouble, yet his condition was
pronounced too weak at this time
to withstand the ordeal. Being
unable to secure immediate relief
in the city, Rev. and Mrs. Cocker
preferred to return to their home
in this city, hence wired friends
that they would arrive on the
noon train Monday. 1t vas with
sad hearts our people learned O
the conclusion reached by the St
Louis specialist, but their prayers
are that the disease attacking the
vitals of this good man will
gradually be co~unteracted by
medical aid at the hands of the
local physician, DR.. A. Fl. Horn
and that he will again become
strong and robust. - SteeIuiLI
