PLANNEDFORSEPT
Commercial Club Will Have Elk.
hibitiOn of "Made in Cape"
Products.

Thu Commercial Club last night de-
cided to hold monster picnic at the
Fairgrounds on Labor Day, September

business men free for that day.
IRE object is to make the event a
countrywide affair, with attractions

unique features of the picnic will be an
exhibition in Floral Hall of all prod
ucts made in Cape Girardeau.
All of the laboring organizations in
the city will be asked to actively par
ticipate in the entertainment, and it is
expected that they will have charge of
the Floral Hail display.
While the details of the program
have not been decided upon, it is I'M
derstood that balloon flight will be
made, and races may also be arranged
for.
The Commercial Club plans to make
it the largest picnic ever held in the
county and a series of attractions will
be arranged for that will attract peo-
pie from the extreme parts of the
county.
The picnic idea was suggested at the
meeting and made an instantaneous
hit. Among those who spoke in favor
of it, were: President Mcpherson,
Secretary Hinchey, w. H. Bohnsack
Jr., George Summers, Lee Bowman,
Harry L. Marhen and Sam Carter.

PLOT TO DITCH
FRISCO TRAIN IS
FOILED in CAPE
Lou HendricksOn Sees Switch
Light Turn, Finds Rails
Apart.
BRASS THIEF BLAMED
BY RAILROAD MEN
Thugs Sought Revenge for Cam
paign Against Them,
is Belief.

An attempt to wreck the St. Louis
Memphis Frisco passenger train No.
8O5 on its trip south was fOiled early
this morning by Lou Hendrickson, an
employe at the roundhouse at the
southern end of the city.
Mr.. Henirickson was standing on a
chair car belonging to the Hoxie train,
which had been left on the track near
the freight depot, when he noticed the
signal light at the switch, one hundred
yards away, flash. He could see the
light moving, which convinced him
that it was being tamrered with.
Torrance Kinder, a fellow employe,
who was nearby, was notified by Hen
erickson and they went to investigate.
The switch, which was Just about half
way between the freight depot and the
roundhouse, was found open. The
switch lock was two feet from the
stand. Looking down the track, they
saw the form of a man fleeing, but he
was so far in advance of them that
they did not give pursuit.
The crew on the passenger train,
which was then standing at the pas
senger depot, were notified. Mr.. Hen
Erickson and Mr.. Kinder threw the
switch back into place and locked it,
then signaled the passenger train.
The engineer approached the scene
slowly and did not take on any speed
until after the train had reached the
outskirts Of the yards.
Special Agent VinsOn was notified
and he hurried into the yards, but fail
ed to find any traces of the man who
had attempted to derail the train.
Railroad men did not believe the eff
fort to wreck the passenger train was
not fer the purpose of robbery. They
think it was conceived by brass thieves
who have been raiding freight cars
left over night in the yards.
The Frisco agents have waged a
campaign against this type of thug for
several months, and railroad men be-
lieve the thieves attempted to get re
venge by derailing the train.
The switch, while not quite open,
was sufficiently spread to have up
set the engine had it not been for the
eagle eye CT Mr.. Hendrickson. He in
formed The Tribune that he thought
he detected the form Of a man wher
he noticed the switch light begin turn
ing. As neither Hendrickson nor Kin
der was armed, they said, they did not
care to engage band of thieves in
battle.

zALMA FARMER
IS KILLED BY
SICK CONVICT
Wander Fish, ParOled From
Pen to Die, Stays John
Robertson.
MURDERERIMP
FOR ATTACKING VICTIM
Convict Fires Five Bullets into
Head of Well-knOwn
Man.

John Robertson, a well-known farmer
living near Zalma, was shot and in
stantly killed yesterday morning by
Wander Fish, neighbor, who is said
to have held a grudge against Rober-
son as result of a fight in which
they engaged about two years ago.
The shooting occurred about miles
east of Zalma, on the public road, at
about 10 o'clock yesterday morning.
Wander Fish and Mrs. Sam Fish
had been to the Cape on a business
trip, and on their return to Zalma yes
terday morning were met at the train
by Sam Fish who had brought the
wagon and team to convey them home
They had driven little more than a
mile from town when they met Rober-
son and a Mr.. Bewring in a wagon
driving to town.
After the conveyances had met and
passed each other, Wander Fish is said
to have quietly slipped out of the rear
end of the wagon without attracting
attention, and hurrying back had over
taken the wagon in which Mr.. Rober-
son was riding. Stealthily climbing
over the endgate he approached the
unsuspecting Robertson and before his
intentions could be anticipated, had
drawn a revolver and fired five shots,
all of them taking effect in the back of
Robertson nead.
The assailant was seized and held
under guard until the arrival of Sher-
if Presnall, who took charge of the
prisoner and conveyed him to Marble
Hill where he was placed in Jail to
await trial.
Robertson and Fish had a miSun-
derstanding about two years ago, and
in settling their differences engaged
in a fight. Robertson was worsted in
the encounter. having received num-
Der of dangerous knife wounds, for
which Fish was arrested and sent to
the penitentiary. Soon after being
sent to prison, Fish developed tuber-
cuIosis, and was later paroled in order
that he might be given better oppor-
tunity to look after his health.
He has always entertained a bitter
feeling toward Robertson, and the
tragedy yesterday was the result of
the differences which arose two years
ago.
Considerable excitement was arous-
ed as the result of the killing, and the
sentiment runs strong against Fish.

Hon. Fred A. Rage, Mayor,
Cane Girardeau. Mo.

lIOlI. LCu AdSCy
Cape Girardeau, Mo.
Dear Sir: Replying to your favor
of the Goth inst. we note what you
have to say in regard to the proposed
ordinance to provide for the Park
Bond election. We do not pretend to
be lawyers ourselves, and therefore
could not undertake to answer you
definitely without having our attor-
neys pass upon the case, and we would
hardly feel inclined to incur this ex-
pense unless we were reasonably sure
of purchasing the bonds. However, we
are very much inclined to believe that
the ordinance contains several serious
defects, and at any rate there are a
number Of clauses that would be OBJ
jectionable to US.
There is no legal necessity for post
poning the sale of the bonds until aft
er the election has taken place, and we
suggest that the Board offer the bonds
at once. We are perfectly willing to
enter into contract now (subject to
the result of the election, of course)
and as that would result in our attor-
neys supervising and approving the
proceedings step by step, the illegal
opinion" question would be automati-
cally eliminated and we would be
ready to pay for the bonds the mo-
ment they were ready. Furthermore,
we should think that the citizens who
are back of this enterprise would find
good campaign argument in the fact
that a sale Of the bonds Off authoriz-
ed) On favorable terms, had already
been provided for.
Please let us hear from you upon
the subject, stating if the Board is

set out. Notice must be given in the
newspaper doing the city's printing
fifteen days previous to the election.
You may give the Council the bene-
fit of these suggestions, all to the end
that you will be sure-footed in this
bond election.
l return the ordinance and the proc
lamation herewith.
Yours very respectfully,

City Counselor.

MAJOR TO RUN AGAINST
REED, LATEST REPORT
Said TO Have Told Close Friends He's
Changed Mind and Wants
SenatOrship.

st. Louis, July 23-It is reported in
Democratic circles that Gov. Major
has informed close friends he has
about decided to enter the contest for
the Senate against James Reed.
There was an understanding, few
weeks ago, following a speech made by
the Governor, that Gov. Major would
retire from politics at the close of his
term and practice law in ST. Louis.
The same rumor that changes the
Governors plan and puts him in the
race against Mr.. Reed, carries with it
the report that Warden McClung will
manage the Major campaign.

THE TRUTH
 ABOUT CATARRH
A Germ DiSeA~e That Can Re stopped by Killing Germs Which Cause It.

A good many claims are made for this and that remedy for Catarrh and 0opbtieSS, if you are q sufferer from this 6isease, you have yourself tried many of them and received no perma- nent beneft.
 The fact remains, however that there is way to get rid of catarrh forever and certainly the method most likely to succeed and to cure where all else has failed is one that your own drug gist has so much faith in that he will sell it to you on asspositve guarantee of success or money back.
 That's exactly the way that Lee & Osgood and many other leading drug gfsts in this vicinity are selling Hyo- mel, the great Catarrh germ killer. q wonderful medicated but pleasant smelling air which you breathe into your nose. throat and lungs through a s small inhaitng device that druggists the pure healing oil of Eucalyptus combined with other powerful gerIni- cida1 ingredients, and it not only clears up the head and air passages and heals the sore swollen inf1amed mem bTanes of your nose and throat, but 1t goes air is absolute and positive death to every catarrh germ in your system. It destroys them utterly And when the germs go the disease and all it's dis agreeable symptoms stop. If you have Catarrh. breathe Hyomei. It's the only sensible thing to do and you gain nothing and lose much by waiting of the paper now and take it into your druggist the very next time you pass his store. Insist on getting the complete outfit, which includes the free rubber inhaler, as it is very necessary to use this inhaler to get best results
