HORSE FALLS DEAD IN ROAD

A valuable horse belonging to Doug
las Graham, a stockman of Sikeston
dropped dead on the Bloomfield road
few miles of this city, yesterday aft
ernoon.
The horse had been sent to the Char
les Juden place to pasture for a few
days, and yesterday afternoon Man
ming KimmeI sent one of his men after
the animal. The man drove out in a
buggy and after catching the Douglas
horse, turned Kimmel's horse in the
pasture with the intention of driving
the Douglas horse back to town. He
had gone but short distance when the
animal without any warning or visible
symptoms of being sick, fell in the
road and died in a few seconds. The
buggy was damaged slightly in the ac-
cident, the shafts being broken.

LUTHERANS MAY
Use ALT HOME
FOR A SCHOOL
If Famous Residence Can be
RemOdeled Church Will
Buy it Today.
$4,000 is ASKED FOR
THE HOUSE AND LOT
Congregation Plans to Revamp
Structure and Occupy it
in Autumn.

The congregation of the Lutheran
Church will decide today whether il
will purchase the Alt home on Pacific
street between Broadway and Thcmis
streets, and remodel it for school pur-
poses. This announcement was made
to The Tribune last night by an IN
fluential member of the congregation
An option on the property Was OBJ
tanned a short time ago, and the
church will decide today whether to
purchase the property. The option
places the value on the land and build
ing at $4,000.
Some of the members of DR.. Nil
der's congregation do not believe the
large Alt home can be remodeled to
make it suitable for school purposes
while others mold a different view.
An architect will meet members of
a committee of the church this aftef-
noon and inspect the building. If i:
can be revamped SO that it will be
available as school, it will be bought
A meeting will be held in the church
tonight to hear the report of the archi-
tect, and at this conference it will be
decided whether or not the property
will be taken over.
The Lutheran Church has one of the
largest congregations in this city, and
this church is one of the strongest of
the order in the State. DR.. Wilder, the
pastor, who is very popular, is given
the credit for the rapid growth of the
congregation.
The present Lutheran school, which
is located in the rear of the church.
is no longer adequate for the rapid
increase in attendance. The little
structure has been taxed to its capa-
city for several years, and DR.. Wilder
induced his congregation to secure a
larger building.
The site of the Alt home is consider
na enc 81 the MOST beautiful in Cape
Girardeau. 1t stands in a cluster of
giant trees, and affords pretty view
in each direction. If the church de-
cides to buy the property, it will be re-
modelled in time for occupancy this au-
tumn.
Theodore Ochs, one of the leading
members of the church, is chairman of
the committee which has the new
building project in hand.

DR.. BRAHAM MAKES
KILLING" IN Mine
Sells Stock in Lead Shaft for
Three Times What He
Invested.

The sudden advanced in the price of
lead, caused by its in creased demand
for war pursposes, has enabled DR.. J.
V. Braham to realize handsome profit
on a large amount of lead mining stock
which ne placed on the market and
sold last Saturday.
DR.. Braham for several -TearSshas
held about 1000 shares of stock in, thu
st. Joe Lead Company, of the pal
value of $40 Der share. The stock wa:
purchased at differepnt times and cos
him price ranginsg from 81 to Sc pei
share.
For few years after he had &C.
CURED Possession of the stock he re,
celved Handsome dividends on his in
vestFnent, but later the price of lead
began to decline, and the dividends be.
Crane less and less until they amount.
4 ed to virtually nothing.
Since the outbreak of the war in
Europe the price of lead has steadily
advanced until at this time it is high
err than was ever before known m the
history of the country.
Less than two weeks ago, the min
ing stock of the St. Joe Lead Com
pany at Bonnie Terre, Mo-, was offer
ed for $3.50 per share, and four days
later Dr. Braham sold 1000 shares for
the sum of $4,000 net, after paying
the brokers' commission. Since that
day the price has continued to advance
and at this time is bringing S14% per
share.
DR.. Braham says that he believes
the stock will continue to advance for
sometime, and that the price will keep
up for perhaps year longer, but is
of the opinion that the war has Great
ed the present inflated condition, and
that when peace is restored the value
of the stock will again be reduced.
He has retained a good block of
shares which he intends to hold for
several weeks longer, but says that he
expects to dispose of every particle of
his mining stock, before conditions
throughout the world have again be-
come normal.
He says that he never again intends
to invest in the mining stocks, and
that the sum he has recently realized
he expects to place in something less
hazardous and more certain of re-
turns.

DIPHTHERIA is TRANSMITTED
THROUGH ST. LOUIS LETTER
Germs, Imported from Home in iCty
Infect Son of Louis
Kruger.

The manner in which Teddy Krueg-
er, the small son of Mr.. and Mrs
Louis Kruger, contracted diphtheria
for time was a puzzle to everyone in
the community. 1t was an isolated
case, and so far as the family physi-
clan knew and could ascertain by in
quiry, it was the only case in the city
NJ. Kruger finally reached salts
factory solution of the problem, when
it occurred to him that the infection
had been transmitted through the
mails.
The fact developed Mrs. Kruger
had received a letter from her sister,
Mrs. Gus B. Engleman, of st. Louis,
stating that her little daughter, Marie,
was at that time a victim of the
malady and that the home was in
quarantine when the letter was writ
ten.
The physician stated that the ex-
PLANTATION was plausible and that he
could see no other means for the
spread of the epidemic.
The little fellow is recovering rapid
" and his condition is no longer con-
sidered serious. The little Engleman
girl has also almost completely re-
covered.

M. AND M. WILL URGE NEW LAWS

Protection against bad checks. a reduction of the homestead exemption to it's former basis, and provision of a penalty for any person obtaining credit by misrepresentation will be among the measures urged at the coming legislative session by the Merchants and Manufacturers asso- citation. Other measures. now in the hands of committees, will probably be acted upon favorably by the asso- citation in the near future and ;tn effort made to have them adopted 0y the legislature.
 Among the propositions to be sub mtted at the session which opens Monday will be three measures pre- pared by the Prescott association of merchants and manufacturers. One of these modelled on the California law, would provide for the attach ment of wages and salaries of city. county and state officials for bills incurred for the nccessarics of life Another would have for it's object ex- tending the statute of limitations on open book accounts from three years to five, and on notes and judgmen. s from the present limit of four years to six and ten years respectively. Another would protect supply houses from irresponsible contractors on public buildings. Under existing stat utes supply houses cannot put lie.t on public buildings, and. it is stated. often lose money through irrespon- sible parties.
 All these measures will be brought up at the dinner of the local asso- cia.ion Friday night at the Arizona club, when the Maricopa county dele gation to the legislature will dine and discuss with the organization. T. T. Powers. representatives elect. and other legislators will address the association on pending legislation.
 reduction in the present assess ment of merchandise stocks at 100 cents on the dollar is to be discussed at meeting of a committee of the association with the tax commission this week. It is stated that the com mission will be asked to give it's ap- proval to a twenty-five per cent re- auction, making the assessment on this class of property seventy five cents on the dollar of face value. The hearing will be held as soon as Commissioner Campbell returns from Douglas, where he has been attend ing the cattle growers convention.

BILLY CARLSON S STILL SETTING MAXWELL RECORDS

Making the fastest inter-cty aver age ever recorded by a small car, Billy Carlson in a Maxwell "25'' smashed all speed records between Los Angeles and Riverside. He travelled the fifty-four miles in fifty-six min utes and four-fif seconds.
 The car he drove was the same he used in the Phoenix road race and later established record of twenty nine minutes for climbing Mt Wilson over a road made dangerous with rain and snow. He went the entire dis tance without stop
 Carlson went out through Fl Monte to Pomona and Ontario. At the lat ter place the new state boulevard was taken to Riveside No public an nouncement of the speed run had been made previously and the result was that Carlson was at his destination before it became known what was to be undertaken. In fact the timers themselves were deceived by the speed that Carlson made and they were not on hand to meet him. He was crawl ing out of the car when they appeared

 one hour race between twins will be the feature of the meeting. Other events will include the usual short dashes of from one to fifteen miles. for both twins and singles. The oddity roce will be a match between Ellie Will son and Fat Dye on the half mile track Dye has engaged to ride his twin fast enough to prevent Wilson, mounted on II. w. WorceSter's famous "Peashoot err, from tapping him. The race is in the nature of an unlimited pursuit. in that the riders start together, and Will son must make up a whole lap or half mile on the twin before the contest ends
 John Hohl and Ben Rudderow are the committee It is one of Hohrs plans to hold a road race between Tue son and Phoenix either the day of the track races or the day previous, in or der to boost matters for the track pro gram. The Tucson Phoenix race should be run in little less than four hours in the present road conditions.
 Other additions to the program are a side car race-a stunt never before pulled in Phoenix, and a cycle car event.
 Hohl is also planning putting a small track on the Polk common, dragging it with motorcycles and setting lot of motor paced bikists to wrangling for supremacy. The cycle cars will also compete on this little speedway.
 Plans for $50 mile road race, over the speedway proposed by The Repub- lican nearly six months ago, are also pending. The course is planned to lie north on Central to Northern avenue thence to Glendale and back on Grand avenue. Erwin c.

 Despite the volume of food which has been placed at our disposal we can provision only until February 15.
