Having suffered for twenty-one
years with a pain in my side, finally
have found relief in DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root. Injections of morphine
were my only relief for short periods
Of time. l became so sick that I had
to undergo a surgical operation in
New Orleans, which benefited me for
two years. When the same pain came
back one day was so sick that gave
up hopes of living. A friend advised
me to try your Swamp-Root and I at
once commenced using it. The first
bottle did me so much good that I
purchased two more bottles. / am now
on my second bottle and am feeling
like a new woman. I passed a gravel
stone as large as big red bean and
several small ones. I have not had
the least feeling of pain since taking

recommend this great medicine to all
suffering humanity. Gratefully yours,

Losses of Previous Years Causes
Directors to Abandon the Fair

There was n meeting of the direc-

Tuesday afternoon in the First Ma

taken to dissolve the old Far Asso-
citation with a view of disposing of
the fair grounds to the city for a
park, and fair ground purposes if
desired.
II was concluded that the old asso-
citation would not hold a fair in 1914,
having lost so much money in pre-
vious years and not wishing to incur
further liability to the dctriment
and loss of the stockholders.
If the city decides to purchase,
the deal could easily be consummated
by the first of June, thereby giving
plenty of time for the new owners
to hold a fair if they so desire.
They also concluded that in case the
sale was not affected, the Commercial
Club or any other organization so
inclined, could secure the grounds
for the purpose of holding the fair

Where under heavens in Cape
Girardeau county can person go
out and pick up $1,000 or $4,000
worth of property easier than by a
little hustling for the next five weeks?
We doubt il there is such a chance.
We fear that many of our friends
do not fully appreciate the big prizes
that the Tribune Publishing Co. are
going to give away in their great
newspaper subscription contest
. AS we have said before it's a
big thing and the widc-awake ones
are hustling to the full extent realiz-
ing that right now is the time to
cinch things and even win the valua-
BILE little farm. The contestants
who make it a point to get as many
subscriptions as possible right now
will have reserve fund that will
put them on "easy street during
the strenuous times to come. There
is no candidate in the race whose
lead cannot be overcome by a few
hours active efforts. Right now is
the best time in the whole contest
TO get started in the great race for
the little farm or handsome piano.
We can frankly say that we are
much disappointed in not finding a
number of active and progressive
young men and ladies in the several
towns and on the Rural Routes who
have not as yet made much effort
to secure one Of these grand prizes.
There are unusual good chances in
several localities Of Cape Girardeau
county to get lot of subscriptions
and win a prize in this great contest.
Why not get started today. The
contestants are very inactive and
there is really unusual good fields
to work in. With a few hours
work any contestant from these
localities could easily gain a big
lead and with little energetic work
between now and the close of the
contest, could cinch the grand prize
Why not start your race and win
the big prize?
We shall wait few more days foI
the inactive candidates to get busy
and if they do not show some ac-
tivity shall be dropped from the
contest. Do not blame the contest
manager for this action. You have
only yourself to blame if you do not
get into the race and win one o.
these valuable prizes.
We will repeat the Tribune's liberia
The Cape weekly tribune. (Cape Girardeau, Mo.) 1914-1914, 1914-04-03

be presented at the end Of this
contest. The second or consolation
prize is handsome piano, which any
contestant who is fortunate enough
to win it, will be proud to own.
Without going more into detail
today we wish to say Figure il
out yourself and see if you wouldn't
be making pretty good money If
you devoted your WHOLE time TO
securing subscriptions from now on
until the close OF the contest.
Now think seriously. Hadn't you
better enter the contest, send for the
necessary printing matter and go
right to work; or if you are already
contestant, hadn't you better get
busy now and start right in to win,
Go right after a year or more
subscriptions. Remember, if you
have friend, who is already sub
scriber, get him to renew for a
year or two more. The count is
Just as great. But the best way is
to go right after new business.
Everyone is going to get their moneys
worth by subscribing for The Tribune.
We have improvements under con-
temptation that will make the Tri-
bune the best paper in Southeast
Missouri. We have come right here
to stay and will give the people of
Cape Girardeau county an up-to-date
progressive newspaper. We want your
patronage and you need us now
and in years to come.
We are on the homestretch and the
suspense as to when the contest will
end has been relieved-Saturday, May
I'd, at o'clock in the evening is the
date. While it seems sometime yet
before the gong rings and the verdict
will be announced by the three
disinterested judges as to who will
| be the fortunate ones to receive the
valuable little farm and handsome
piano, the contestants who are inter
ested will find the time is just like
going on pleasant vacation-ii
will all pass too soon.
You cannot tell what the "othel
fellow" is going to do in the race
Every member Of the contest mus

or her own mind and in the minds
of unbiased friends that he ha
enough votes himself TO win. Thi

SHOT
WHILE TRYING
TO ESCAPE
Trying to Break in Home of
Mrs. Selma Hurst and
Gets Shot at
WORKING AT BASEMENT
Burglar Fell, But Regained Foot
ing and Escaped Before Ar
rival of Officers

A daring attempt of a robber to
enter the home of Mrs. Selma Hirsch
was thwarted Tuesday night at about
II o'clock, when he was dicovered
trying to effect an entrance at the
door of the basement.
Mrs. Hirsch heard the noise and
when she raised the window above,
the marauder became frightened and
started to run. Her son Emil Hirsch
had in the meantime procured a
shot gun and appeared at the window
in time to fire at the fleeing robber
when he was but a short distance
away. He evidently hit the mark
as the man fell at the report of the
gun, and seemed to encounter con-
siderable difficulty in getting to his
feet. However, by the time outside
help had arrived the burglar had
disappeared, and the policeman who
came in response to the telephone
call of Mrs. Hirsch, could find no
trace of him. Neighbors heard the
report Of the gun and gathered in
large numbers.
Mrs. Hirsch lives at 1927 Williams
street and this is the second time
that she has had to contend with
houscbreakers, which fact can be
accounted for perhaps by the palatiaI
home being conspicuous on account
of its being removed from the densely
populated section, and being occupied
by widow with no other protection
than that offered by her young
children. Perhaps the fact that Emi
has developed into a young man who
is able and not afraid to shoot vii
serve to slow up the operation o.
the fends who have pcrsistently
annoyed this good woman for Sc
long. For years some evil minded
wretch has terrorized her by leaving
anonymous letters of a threatening
nature about the premises at night
and it is supposed that the SAM
party is the one responsible for tn,
attempted robbery.

In view of the fact that during
the coming term of the school board
there is to be Il great amount of
building done, in which the cXpendi-
ture of large sums of the people,
money will be entailed, the voters
should not overlook the necessity
of having a member who is not only
qualified but disposed to look after
the work closely and in fact see that
every contracted detail is attended
to minutely II there is no such man
on the board and none have yet an
nounced their candidacy, it is the
duty of the people to get busy and
see to it that such man is entered
in the race and is elected. IL has
been suggested that no man is better
qualified for that specific work than
is DR.. W. G. Patton, and as to gem
cral qualifications it would be hard
to find a better man if he could be

position. The columns Of the Tribune

concentrating their endeavors for sub
scriptions and renewals of both the
Daily and Weekly Tribune. Nor
have their effort been wholly in
vain. New yearly subscriptions have
been coming in rapidly. The speed
limit will be broken TO smithereens
soon.
The entry list still stands open
for new contestants. There is room
for several, if they are hustlers, even
at this point in the race. We give
fair notice now that the lid will
soon be clamped on, and then it will
be too late to enter. Don't blame
us after the contest is over. We
have given all our friends a fair notice.
1t has been said that ever lyman
has at least one chance to get in

come by entering this contest, or if
contestant, by getting busy now,
and you may be swimming in the
full tide of fortune in very short
time.
We feel, however, that every men,
Der of this contest who is at all in
terested in winning one of these val
liable prizes, will tighten his belt
another notch and tear into his COM
petitor, in friendly competition, as
never before. There will be some
tall hustling soon. Take our word
for it.

you can see it every day. If you

That section of the City where

fulness and quiet never interrupted
by anything more exciting than the
buzzing Of an automobile, but un-
expected conditions have arisen which
change the entire aspect. What was

scene of struggle his efforts would be
rewarded by numerous clues and evil
dences of conflict in the way Of

sudden activities, the screechcs and

pare favorably with the music of an
orchestra of saw flers working in
Accompaniment to the harmonious
melody emanating from IA cat fight.
1t was not cat fight, however.
1t was a rough and tumble, tooth and
toe nail physical encounter between
two pretty young women. And from
reports received, it would seem that
the misunderstanding so forcibly
brought out, was the elimination OF
love affair in which the victor for
the affections of the coveted young
man again proved her supremacy
by routing the old time rival in q
test Of strength.

Do not think any man ought to be

so INSCRIPTIONS to use the office
to further the financial interests Of
himself and members of his family.
In so doing he loses sight of the
public trust conferred upon him by
the people of the district,
OF course il might be said that it
is now too late to get out any other
candidates to run against DIR. Schultz

sit idly by and be content to support
every man for school director who
might be pushed forward and nomi-
mated at n mass meeting lead by
Roberts of the Normal and Bill

Is it the power of a mass meeting to
dictate who shall and shall not bc

nominated at a mass meeting attended
by not more than one hundred voters
does not bar other good men from
