Probably for the first time in his
public career William Jennings Bryan
will find the people of America prac-
.tically unanimous in favor of some-
thing he has put forward his resig-
nation from the cabinet. No one
questions Mr. Bryan's rights to aban-
don the portfolio of the, state de-
partment if he disagrees with the
foreign policy of the government.
But the points of divergence between
the president and himself were no
more marked today than on May 13,

When Man an Dark Closet
Nabs Him.

! When Ollie jackson, the porter at
the Dyer barber shop on Main street
prepared to clean up dark and de-
serted attic room Tuesday afternoon,
he was given the scare of his whole
career.
Ollie was standing on the topmost
part of the frail stepladder, busily en-
gagged in wiping the cobwebs from the
ceiling above his head. His thoughts
were diverted from his work when the
ladder was given sudden yank, caus-
ing the surprised darky to almost lose
his equilibrium.
When he looked down to see the
cause of the disturbance, his orbs were
brought in contact with an object, the
sight of which paralyzed the nerves
in his body and chilled the blood in his
veins.
1t appeared to be a sure enough
| ghost, all dressed in a flowing white
robe, and It looked right up into Ollie's
face with great big glaring eyes that
burned like Goals. Ollie assumed a
rigid physical attitude, and his eyes
protruded as if they were going to
burst from the sockets. He was pow
erless to move or speak, and in the
midst of this horrible suspense, the
mysterious apparition broke the 81
lence, and in deep cultural tone, said
to the frightened boy: 81 have been
dead for twenty years, and this is the
room in which l died. What are you
doing here?"
Ollie made no effort to explain his
presence, but with a shrek that would
silence the whistle of a locomotive, he
dove from the top of the ladder down
the open stairway to the floor, and
each landing that he struck seemed to.
add to his impetus down the succeed
ing flights.
When he was picked up at the bot
tom of the last flight of steps, his ap-
pearance had undergone a complete
transformation. His whole body was
in state of rigid catalepsy. His eyes
still protruded and the whites of them
fairly glistened.
His mouth stood ajar and he was
powerless to speak. His complexion
had changed from that of polished
ebony to sickly, yellowish clay-like
color. More than an hour was re-
quired to revive him, and even at this
time he cannot discuss the incident
without almost going into Mysteries.
He was frightened by a practical
joker who had seen him preparing to
go up to the room to do the work that
had been assigned him.

COL. SHORB SEXES
"CUM DROP" PARTY
Assumes Control and Calls Mass
Meeting to Defeat Brother
Naeter.

Col. T. Jeff Shorb took charge of
the "gum drop" party yesterday and
officially issued the call for the mass
meeting at the Court House tOmor-
row night, at which a complete gum
drop" ticket will be nominated.
Col. Shorb is the leading candidate
for the nomination for mayor, and the
fact that he is in charge of the party
gives him a bulge on Brother Fred
Naeter, his leading opponent.
When Col. Thomas Jefferson Shorb
learned yesterday that Brother Naeter
was greasing the sl1ids for him, he
took charge of the "gum drop" party
and issued the call. As charmain of
the mass meeting, his frienus say the
Colonel will be in position to side
track the steam rollers in the event
his opponents attempt to flatten his
candidacy.
Lieutenants of Col. Shorb fear that
Brother Naeter, believing that he has
been defeated, will send in dark
horse to supplant the Colonel. Thomas
jefferson Shorb has announced that
he will stand for an honest defeat, but
he has warned his opponents not to
attempt any trough work"
This official call, which places the
Colonel in command of the gum
drop" party, says:
BY authority of preliminary
mass meeting and also as hold
over chairman for the school
meeting of last year, l hereby
issue a call for a mass meeting
of the voters of the City of Cape
Girardeau to be held at the Court
House, Friday, March II, at 7:30
p. m. for the purpose of nominat-
ing a ticket for city officers and
also selecting three candidates for
school directors.
Let the citizens of this city
have whom they want instead of
letting the other fellows have it
because they want it.
T. Jeff. Shorb,
Chairman.

Mr.. Johnson has been sick but a few

suffering with an intestinal disorder.

MRS. CHAS RENSHAW DIES

Henry Sander, received advice yes
terday of the death Of his sister, Mrs.
Charles Renshaw, at Ell Paso, Tex.
She had been sick but a short time,
and her death was due to small pox.
Mr.. Sander stated that his sister lived
in the suburbs of Ell Paso, and has 1ot
been away from her home at any Llme
this winter until about four weeks
ago, she spent one afternoon in the
business section of the city on a shop
ping trip.
At that time she was exposed to the
disease, an epidemic of which is rag

later contracted the sickness which re-
suited in her death.
She is survived by her husband,
Charles Renshaw, and three small
children. The funeral was held in Ell

Wife of Postmaster, Believ-
ing She is Near Death,
Asks for Son.
SENDS A PATHETIC
NOTE TO NEW YORK
81 Want to See Him Before
DIE" She Tells
Police.

Believing that she had but a short
time to live, Mrs. E. w. Flentge, wife
of the Cape Girardeau Postmaster, has
written a pathetic letter to the police
in New York City, asking them to
find her son, John, whom she has not
seen in several years.
81 should like to see him before /
die" says the letter that was received
in New York City last Saturday. A
telegram from New York City last
night says that no trace of the young
man has been found. The newspapers
there published her appeal to the
young man, but he has not been heard
from.
Young Flentge, who is % years old,
has been away from this city several
years, and for many months his par
ents have not heard from him. Until
recently it was believed that he was
in Texas on farm, but it is now
known that he has not been in that
state since he left Cape Girardeau.
The last reports of his whereabouts
were from New York State, and the
Postmaster now believes that he is
somewhere in that state.
Mrs. E. w. Flentge has ben critical
ly i'll for several months, and her con-
dition recently became precarious. She
realizes her plight and believes that
she will not survive much longer.
Since she became i'll she has frequent
ly expressed a fond desire to see her
son again, and last week she dictated
a message to him, which she believed
would reach the youth if transmitted
to the police of that city.
The message asked the young man
to send her a telegram as soon as he
received her message. She has re-
ceived no word from him, and fears
he will not see her appeal to him.
John Flentge is the only child of
Mr. .and Mrs. Flentge. A daughter,
somewhat younger than the son, died
several years ago of diptheria. She
contracted the disease from a pet kit
ten and her death occurred only
short time after she was stricken.
The mother never recovered from
the loss Of her daughter, and since
then her devotion to the son has been
pathetic at times. She pleaded with
him to remain at home, but her re-
quests were in vain. He left Cape Cir
ardeau several years ago, stating that
he was going to ST. Louis. He remain
ed there a short time and then went
East. Only few letters have been
received from him since he left this
city.
About five years ago John Flentge
was married to Miss Mary Haish,
considered one of the prettiest girls
in Cape Girardeau. They lived to-
gether but a short time. She is now
living here with her parents.

DUNKLIN ~, "',,.,iY
MAN oLATED FOR
. NORMAL REGENT
James A. Bradley Said to be
Majors Choice for Shuts
Vacancy.
MOSES WHYBARK TO
SUCCEED HIMSELF,
Hawkins Endorsement Wins
Place Over StubbIefeId and
Alexander.

According to a dispatch from JEFF
ferson City to The Tribune last night,
James A. Bradley of Dunklin Coun-
ty, will be appointed member of the
Board of Regents of the State Nor
NAL school to succeed Hina Shuts.
Moses Whybark is certain to succeed
himself, according to the report.
William II. Stubblefield, Jr., who
has been an active candidate for the
place, has Just returned from Jeffer-
son City, and while there, it is said,
he was informed that Mr. Bradley had
been picked by Governor Major for
the place.
James A. Bradley is brother of
John H. Bradley, the present Repre-
sentative of the Legislature from
Dunilin County. 1t is also said that
Senator Charles w. Hawkins, who is
from Dunklin County, indorsed Brad
ley.
The report from the Capital came
as surprise to Democrats in Cape
Girardeau. During Gov. Majors visit
to this city several months ago, he
asked Harry E. Alexander if he would
accept the appointment, and the for
mer Prosecuting Attorney agreed to
take the place, but informed the Gov
ernor that he would not permit his
name to be considered, if the execu-
tive would demand Endorsements.
When informed of the report from
Jefferson City last night, Mr.. Alex
ander said: 81 have not heard any
thing about the appointment since the
Governor spoke to me in December.
In fact, l never gave the matter much
thought. As told Mr. Major, l would
accept the place if rendered to me, but
| had never sought it and would not
permit myself to be considered a cam
didate."
1t is said that Senator Hawkins Sc
cured the appointment. He announced
several months ago that he would in
sist upon the reappointment of Mr..
Whybark. The we'll known Cape Cir
ardeau attorney did not ask to be re-
chosen, and it is presumed that the
Governor selected him at the request
of the Dunklin County Senator.
Mr.. Whybark was originally ap-
pointed to the office by Gov. Hadley,
and has made an efficient official. He
is Republican in politics, but has
not been very active in recent years.
He and Senator Hawkins are high
Masons and have long been close per-
sonal friends.
Mr.. Schults was actively opposed to
the nomination and election of Gov.
Major, and it has been generally
known that he would not succeed him.
self. He was asked by Mr.. Stubble-
field to indorse the local banker, but
declined.

ton for first place in this meet.

ing, A. W. Vaughan; Essay, Miss Har-

one of the big annual events in Cape
Girardeau and it is held under the di-
rection of the Normal School Athletic
Committee.
An entry Of eight-one new students,
or an increase of more than 80 per
cent over last year, is the record of
the spring term of the Normal School

ming last June is about 1900 to date.
