Three Councilman Oppose Gift Plan,
But HOeller Can't Reach
+ Decision.

A special meeting of the City Coun-
Gil has been called to convene at the
waterworks plant at 9 o'clock this
morning.
The purpose Of the meeting is to
decide upon the terms Of disposing of
the end of Water street which is de-
sired by the water works company as
a location for another settling basin.
Mayor kage, after the last meeting
of the Council had adjourned, an
nounced to the members of the Council
that he believed the city should donate
the property to the water company.
Councilman Kaess stated in reply
that he was in favor of letting the
company have it, but he for one would
insist on the city being paid for it.
Yesterday afternoon Councilmen
Armgardt and Black expressed them
selves in the same manner, but Coun-
Gilman Hoeller declined to give his
views in the matter.

ON LAYING EGGS
HEFFETTEEEEEE
By George Fitch.

Laying eggs is the only talent which
the hen possesses.
The hen is not handsome and is one
of the worlds poorest singers. She has
no education and produces the poorest
grade Of thoughts turned out by any
brain, large or small. A hen hasn't
even enough intelligence to vote a
straight ticket at elections and good
ness knows that needs less brain pow
er than anything else on earth. She
has just one talent-she lays the best
eggs there are.
Many people with only one talent
sulk their lives away in gloom and de-
cline to become useful to the human
race. But the hen isn't built on this
style. She uses her talent. Early and
late, year in and out she lays eggs,
putting all the fervor and enthusiasm
of her being into the process. By so
doing she has become one of our most
valued citizens and is regarded with
great affection, especially when fried
with cream gravy.
Man screeches with pride because he
builds half million automobiles n
year. But the modest hen with her
talent makes the automobile business
look like few rusty nickles. If the
automobile were to disappear tomor-
row man would mourn and became ex-
ceedingly footsore. But if the hep were
to suspend the publication of al mill
limetre eggs and retire upon her repu-
tation earth would hardly be worth
living on. The annual value of the
hens work in the United States is
greater than the value of the auto
mobile, the hog or the hay crop.
This teaches us to appreciate our
talent no matter how small it may be.
Many man with no ability except to
make a very loud noise and keep it up
for an hour 1t ti1 has run for sew
eaJav' 5''F.rer. o. ices and has event

SUNDAY SERMON ON BOAT
Mayor Thompson Summons DR.. Law
son for Sabbath Service.

Mayor William Hale Thompson of
Chicago, and his party of friends who
passed through this city Friday on the
steamer Kabekona, started on their
return trip from Cairo, and arrived in
this city Sunday shortly after noon.
After the party had partaken of
dinner, they decided to have religious
services, and Rev. J. F. Lawson of the
Presbyterian Church, was selected to
render the required service.
The minister arrived at about 1
o'clock and promptly entered into the
work that had been assigned him. One
of the members of the Mayors party
played the piano, and others joined in
singing hymns.
After the services were finished,
contributions were given amounting to
about S22.
The Mayor abandoned his original
intention of going to Memphis, and
after holding a meeting with the bust
ness men of Cairo, on Friday night,
concluded to start on his return voy-
age.
Saturday morning before leaving
Cairo for the North, the party made a
short trip up the Ohio River.
The boat departed from the Cape
about the middle of the afternoon and
stopped for the night at Neely's Land
ing, about 20 miles north of this city.
Western Union Telegraph operator,
Keys, of this city, was called to Nee
ly's Landing Sunday night where he
worked several hours, sending the re-
ports from the newspaper men in the
party to the various publications they
represent in Chicago.
While in the Cape F. w. Morrison
refilled the coal bin and ice box on the
boat.

FARMER Is THROWN
BY SCARED HORSE.
Earnest Hits Head Strikes Stone
Street, But He Isn't Badly
Hurt.

Ernest Hit was thrown from his
horse yesterday morning while driving
some cattle through the streets of this
city, and for several seconds was in an
unconscious condition.
Mr.. Hit, in company with Louis
Siemers, both farmers from the Cor
donviile neighborhood, was bringing a
herd of cattle to the market in this
city. When they entered the populous
section of the town, the cattle became
frightened, and began to run in diff
ferent directions.
Mr.. Hit gave chase to some that
were straying from the herd and when
ne reached the car track, his horse
stopped abruptly, throwing him for
ward on to the rock street.
When he fell he was completely
dazed and for several seconds he lay
in the road in a helpless condition.
The horse when freed from its rider
attempted to run away, but was ap-
parently confused and ran in a circle
and was quickly captured.
After Mr.. Hit began to regain his
senses, he tossed violently, after which
he jumped suddenly to his feet and
began to whirl in the same manner
as a spinning top.
This bewildered condition soon pass
ed away, leaving him feeling but ht-
tie worse from his dangerous ex-
perience.
His hand was slightly cut, and he
was bruised ;JJat the head and body,
but his injuries were Sigh: aid he
was abb to mount bis horse and re-
sGmc tho ta1l, of delivering the cat
tie to the stock pens.

BIG CROPS ARE PREDICTED
Frank Foster Returns from County
Full of Hope.

Frank Foster returned yesterday
afternoon to Ardeola 10 look after his
mercantile and farming interests.
Mr.. Foster says that crops in that
neighborhood are looking good, and
that thus far there haS>been an album
dance of rainfall.
He thinks that his fruit crop will
far exceed that of last year, which
was unusually good. In addition to
growing big yield of fine apples,
peaches, cherries and plums, he also
received big returns from. his, fig trees
and he is of the belief that his fig
crop this year will bring much larger
returns than last season.

&C. N. PASSENGERS
RIDE THE ENGINE
Car Leaves Track Near Perryviile
and Four Men Join
Engineer.

The C. G. & N. train which left
Cape Girardeau shortly after 6 o'clock
yesterday morning for Perryville, was
wrecked soon after noon within eight
miles of its destination.
A flange en- a wheel of one of the
freight cars laden with coal broke and
the wheel was smashed to smither-
ines. The crippled car wobbled down
the track, crushing the rails and pull
ing up ties. Finally it rushed from
the road bed and into a shallow en-
bankment, the wheels sinking in the
soft earth.
There were four passengers in the
coach attached to the train at the rear,
and the sudden stop hurled the quar-
tet from their seats, but none was in
Jured even in the slightest degree.
We've hit snag," shouted Otto
Hanny of this city, who was a pas
senger. Grabbing his suitcase, he
made dive for the rear door. He was
hastily followed by three other pas
sengers who were under the impress
sion that there had been a head-on
collision.
When they got in a position where
they could survey the ruins, they
found the freight car filled with coal
mired to the bed in the soft earth, but
the others cars were on the tracks.
Tom Gill, who was the conductor on
the train, informed the passengers
that it would be impossible to extri-
cate the derailed car, and ordered the
four passengers to board the engine
They did and were rushed into Perry
vile. When they reached the city they
bore a resemblance to chimney swal-
lows. Smoke and cinders smudged
their collars and turned their faces
into ebony, but they enjoyed the ex-
pericnce. Two of them complained of
parched threats, but that defect was
soon adjusted after they reached Per-
ryville.
Returning home they relied on au-
tomobiles and made the trip in less
than two hours.
