TEETH, SHATTERED
BY WAR, REPLACED
Cape Dentist Supplies Bulgarian
With False Molars for Those
Turk Plucked.

Coly GeOrgeff, Bulgarian employ
ed at the rock crushing plant of Ed
ward Hely, short distance south of
Of this city, called on one of the local
dentists yesterday for treatment TO
injuries sustained in the war between
Turkey and Bulgaria, more than two
years ago.
Coly Is not fluent in the use of the
English language, and employs the
services Of an interpreter when neces-
sary to carry on conversation. When
he took his seat in the dental chair
yesterday afternoon, the doctor dis
covered that five of his upper teeth
bore the appearance of having been
clipped off with some sharp instru-
ment. When he made inquiry concern
ing the unusual condition, the inter-
prefer informed him that Coly was
veteran of the war with Turkey, and
that the missing molars had been am
putated when brought in sudden con-
tact with a steel jecketed Mauser bull
let fired from the gun of a Turkish
rifleman.
The dentist stated that the bullet
had penetrated the side of the Bull
garian's nose, struck an upper tooth
and traced the line of his upper teeth
until five of them were cut off, after
which the ball glanced downward and
lodged just beneath the angle of the
lower Jaw, from which position it was
removed by the army surgeons.
The interpreter said that Georgeff
was in a trench, and was aiming his
own rifle when he was wounded.

HENRY VESSEL IS
OPERATED ON HERE
Retired Farmer Hurried to st.
Francis from GordOnville
to Save Him.

Henry Vessel, retired farmer and
one of the oldest residents of Cape
Girardeau County, became i'll at his
home in Gordonville, at s o'clock last
night, and in order to save his life it
became necessary to hurry him to ST.
Francis Hospital in this city where an
operation for an Intestinal disorder
was performed.
DR.. E. r. Schoen, County Coroner,
was called when Mr.. Vessel was first
stricken, and failing in his efforts to
relieve Mr.. VESSEL, telephoned to a
surgeon in this city and requested that
everything be in readiness for the op-
Grafton Immediately after his arrival.
Mr.. Vessel was removed to this city
in an automobile. They arrived at the
hospital at about 1870 o'clock, and
the operation was performed a short
time later. The patient rallied
quickly.
Mr.. Vessel is about 20 years old,
and on account of his advanced age, it
is feared that he may not fecover.
Mr.. Vessel IS one Of the best known
farmers in Cape Girardeau County,
and for many years has lived on a
farm in the vicinity of Gordonville. A
few years ago, ne turned his farming
interests over to his son, and with his
wife moved to a home he had pur-
chased in GOrdOnville.
Mrs. Vessel was unable to accom-
pany her husband to the city last
night, but will arrive at the hospital
this morning, where she will remain
until her husband is able to return
home with her.

of that little bustling city were not

branch line of one railroad. This is

"The people of that city decided
they would hold an exposition wheth-

j. H. Mcpherson, President of the
Commercial Club, who returned from
the Panama-Pacific Exposition a few
days ago, yesterday described the
perilous flight which caused the death
of Lincoln Beachey at San Francisco
Sunday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mcpherson saw Bea-
chey fly in windstorm two weeks
ago, and his utter disregard for dam
ger made u pronounced impression up
on them.

"The wind was blowing a gale. and

several men taking the machine into

a short time after we reached a spot
near the craft, one of the helpers call

man, of dapper appearance, step out
from beside US. Buttoning his coat
pulling down his cap, he walked to-
ward the machine. Without the usual
formalities of examining the biplanc,
DOMINIC goggles and a buster, he
climbed in it with no more concern
than had the machine been an auto
mobile.
"An instant later, the craft leaped
into the air. It climbed into the
clouds with the ease and rapidity of
a bird, and when it had reached an
altitude that made the machine seem
to be no larger than hawk, the avia-
tor began his perilous feat of turn
ing somersaults. Eight times he turn

less at the spectacle.
"Then he cut off the engine and
pointed the nose of the machine, to-

MISS HINCHEY
PEEVES NORMAL
MUSIC FACULTY
Talented Singer Sang at Sym
phony Concert in Spite
of Protests.
SOCIAL VENDETTA
COST SOLOIST SIS
Music Arbiters, Jealous of Young
Soprano, Tried to Cancel
Engagement.

The appearance of Miss Margaret
Allen Hinchey, who made a pronounc-
ed hit as soloist at the Normal DUR
ing the recent visit of the St. Louis
Symphony Orchestra, has created
much friction among members of the
musical faculty, according to warm
friends Of the young singer.
When it was first announced that
Miss Hinchey was to render a solo at
the concert, efforts were made to have
her name taken from the program, it
is said, by close friends of the Normal
School. The fact that she was to ap-
pear, incensed her opponents, but
when it was learned that she was to
receive $25 for her part of the enter
tainment, a social vendetta was in
cited.
Admirers Of the talented young
woman insisted that she be permitted
to fulfill the engagement, but the OPP
position insisted that she be eliminat-
ed. 1t is said her name was finally
withdrawn from the program, but was
replaced by the insistent demands of
society matrOns who are warm adj
mirers of Miss Hinchey.
Her name was on all of the pro-
grams that were circulated in this
city, but il is said that before her
critics consented for her to appear,
she was compelled to forego the $25
which was to be her fee for the even
ing's engagement.
She came, the opposition that she
had encountered, proved to be an in
spiration. Friends of the young sing
er say she never sang like she did that
evening. She rendered caro- Milo
Bien,' and captivated the great audi
cnce. The applause that greeted her
was vociferous. She responded to en-
core and at the conclusion of her sec
ond selection, the great crowd made
the auditorium rumble.
Miss Hinchey, who is the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. A. H. Hinchey, is a
former Normal student, and enjoys
= host of friends in this section of the
state. She has voice possessing I'M
usual qualities, according to Sc. Louis
critics.
The "Capaha Arrow" a Normal
weekly magazine, devoted to the in
terests Of students and former stu
dents of the school, paid Miss Hin
chey a compliment last week. The
article says:
The Normal School had an I'M
expected pleasure and honor last
Tuesday when st. Louis SYM
phOny Orchestra presented Miss
Margaret Allan Hinchey as one
of the sOlOistS at its concert here.
Miss Hinchey has been studying
vocal music for the past two
years under Alexander Henne-
man of St. Louis. She is Cape
Girardeau girl, and an alumna Of
c. G.. n.
Her voice is lyric soprano of
great range and beauty. We had
always felt the power and APP
peal of her singing, but were not
fully prepared for the sustained
work of Tuesday night.
The orchestra made us realize
that she has a great future before
her. She sang in perfect accord
, with that great organization, and
her clear, high tones were espe-
ciany good. The fact that Mr..
Zach exhibited such confidence in
a former student of our school
makes us look forward to great
things for Miss Hinchey.

The automobile is not such a luxury
to the farmer after all If one consid-
ers from the view point of the Mil
ford Chronicle which says: "It is q
fact that the farmers Of Delaware
have invested much money in auto
mobiles. but it is also true, that the
people individually are getting infor-
nation as well as pleasure by riding
over the state and counties, and bring
ing to them direct knowledge Of the
improved farming and fruit growing
methods. which they would never have
been able to get by the use of horse
drawn teams, or travel over the rail
roads. The people are gaining wider
ideas for their own affairs in a gen
eral way. and the pleasure derived
helps to make the life on a farm hap
pier and the people more conteuted by
being able to have more and closer
social life. A pleasant ride over
beautiful Delaware during the
fall season in a swiftly moving auto
mobile. is beneficial to any man or
woman Of average intelligence. and
what benefits the people benefits the
county and the state. The money in
vested in automobiles by the farm
ers. is good asset. -
