lights about those who are fighting the
proposition. His letter follows:

My Dear Old Time Friend:
You letter of July % received some
days ago. l was glad to hear from you
and pleased to learn that my communi-
cation to The Tribune met with your
approval. In that article | stated facts
as you well know. | could have said
more but deemed my explanation re-
garding the Fairgrounds sufficient for
any intelligent person to understand
The idea that the Fairgrounds belongs
to the people IS absurd. When Louis
Houck made that statement he must
have known he was handling the truth
in 4 reckless manner, and that his
statement would be challenged. / do
not know why Mr.. HOuck is opposed
to the city of Cape Girardeau purchas-
ing the Fairgrounds for a city park,
h1tf hn aoV-ka iV,lH- hoe oh -,
view for Louis Houck. He has always
been d great HOuck man. He does not
want friend he cannot use. | know
him better than he knows himself. He
used me for thirty years without Civ
ing me thirty cents. helped him
make that fortune and after that for
tune was made he turned me down
cold-bloodcd for the renegates who
have no country, no flag, no honor. He
can use them in his ways that are dark
and tricks that are vain. There is
where | baked and then | fell.
| sincerely hope the bond election
vii carry and that the city will get the
Fairgrounds for city park. "Raus
mid" Houck and his lick-spittles.
Charley, give my regards and best
wishes to the editor of The Tribune.
Believe me,
Your old friend,
Ben H. Adams.

NORMAL TO HAVE
CLASS FOOTBALL
Will Follow Final Game Friday
With Team From
Charleston.

Following the close of the football
season Friday afternoon for the Nor
NAL School varsity team when the
Courleux machine meets the Charles
ton Athletic Club eleven, class games
under the direction of Coach Courleux
will be started at the Fairgrounds.
The class games will be organized in
an effort to develop football material
for next year. Men who win their let
tiers on the varsity team this year will
not be allowed to participate in the
class games and it is probable that
many of them will be used as team
coaches and officials for the games.
Coach COurleux expects to have sew
cral teams of class men on the field
practicing and playing next week.
The final game of the Normal sea-
son promises to be a hard fought con-
test with little edge in favor of the
Cape Normals The Charleston team
will be composed of star men who have
played football in high school and col
lege.
Coach Courleux last night declared,
however, that he expects his team to
be in better condition for the contest
and that the Cape boys will Out-last
the Charleston squad.
eve will win the game in the second
half" he said 81 am sure we are in
better condition than they will be in,
because we have been doing more play
ing and we have been practicing more
consistently than team of that de-
scriptiOn.
"This advantage to us, however, may
be offset to great extent by the fact
that the Charleston bunch will have
some men who have had great deal
of experience at the game"
Yesterday afternoon many of the
men on the Cape team were getting
over their soreness from the Carbon
dale game last Friday. Reed will not
be able to enter the game Friday on
account of the injury to his arm.
Grisham was out in uniform the
other day, but his ankle which was in
iured in the Christian Brothers Col
lege game became swollen again and
he has been forced to leave the game
for the remainder of the season.

The commissioners, accompanied by

on Broadway as well and obtained sub

Here the other day, one of our
business men, Mike Doyle, drove over

BEN VINEYARD
TO WEDLAURA
GEE OF PARMA
Cape's "Beau Bummel" Got
Marriage License at
Cairo Yesterday
BRIDE WAS STUDENT
AT NORMAL SCHOOL
Friends Hear Wedding Will Be
in Observation-Disclosures
Honeymoon.

Ben Vineyard, the we'll known real
estate man, clubman, man-aboutetown
and Beau Brummel" of the Cape, yes
terday obtained q License to be mar
ried to Miss Laura Gee, Of Parma
daughter of wealthy retired farmer
and merchant.
The wedding will be late in Deem
Der, friends of Mr.. Vineyard have learn
ed, following which the couple will go
TO Florida for month on a honeymoon
trip.
Mr.. Vineyard went to Cairo yester-
day to procure the marriage license
following visit he made at the home
of his bride-to-be Sunday. The news
of Mr.. Vineyards definite marriage
plans reached the Cape late last night
by wire from Cairo.
1t is understood that Mr.. Vineyard
obtained the license yesterday prob
ably in the hope that the publication
Of the license would pass unnoticed by
his friends in the Cape. He has been
cndeavoring to keep secret his mar
riage plans.
Mr. Vineyard is probably one of the
most widely known men in the Cape
and his bride likewise has a large cir
Gle of friends here. She has made sew
eral visits to the Cape recently and
Mr.. Vineyard has rarely missed a Sun
day in Parma.
Miss Gee last year was a student at
the Normal School, and it was while
she was attending school here that Mr..
met her. Miss Gee, after leav-
ing the Normal School, anticipated
teaching a school. She obtained a po-
sition in one of the schools in the vicin-
ity of her home, but, it is related by
her friends, she gave it up on the i'm
portunements of Mr.. Vineyard.
The report that the engagement eX-
listed between the couple has been cir
among their friends in the
Cape for several days, but Mr.. Vineyard
made denial.
1t was learned that they first con-
being married about Thanks
giving and subsequently changed their
plans for a wedding about Christmas
time.
Mr.. Vineyard has made arrangements
to have his office looked after while
he is out of the Cape on his wedding
honeymoon.
Mr.. Vineyard has been in the real
estate business in the Cape for several
years. He is a son of DR.. G. w. Vim
yard, Of Jackson. He has two brothers
who are doctors in st. Louis. Mr.. Vim
yard is about 35 years old and his
bride is about 20.
Mr.. Vineyard is a graduate of Will
liam Jewell College at Liberty, Mo.
A singular mark of distinction that
Mr.. Vineyard bears is the fact that he
is one of "Maw" Coopcr's "boys."
