Robert Mabrey, veteran Cape Girar-
deau County farmer, who was well
known in this part of Missouri, died
suddenly at 5 o'clock yesterday at his

He is a member of one of the oldest
families in the Middle West and his
forebearers were men who came to
America prior to the Revolutionary
War.
Mr.. Mabrey was born on Cane Creek,
five miles west of Jackson. When he
was a child his father moved to a
farm near BurfordvilIe, where Mabrey
lived on farm till last October, when
he moved to the place near Jackson, so
that he might be situated nearer to
his children, most of whom were living
in Jackson.
He and his wife lived on the farm
with married daughter, Mrs. NJ.
Curry.
The funeral will be at 2 o'clock this
afternoon and burial will be in the
Gladish Cemetery.
In addition to his widow, Mr.. Ma
brey is survived by three sons and
three daughters, Is grandchildren and
a sister. The sons are: John Mabrey,
of the Cape County Milling CO., of
Jackson; Ezekiel Mabrey, a mechanic,
living at Jackson; Warren l.. Mabrey,
real estate man and chairman of the
Republican County Central Commit
tee, also of Jackson.
The daughters in addition to Mrs.
Curry are: Mrs Leo Sachse, of Jack
son, and Mrs. J. P Num-, wife of the
manager of the Waters Pierce Oil Co.,
at the Cape.
Mrs. Jane Mabrey, a sister who is
wife of a former Probate Judge in
Wayne County, resides at Greenville,
Mo-, Wayne County. Tom Mabrey, of
Doniphan, an attorney, is a first
cousin.
Mabrey's father came to Missouri
from Tennessee. He was a soldier in
the American army during the War of
1912, and Mabrey's grandfather was
settled in the South during Revolu-
tionary times.

TRIBUNE GETS RADISH
BIG ENOUGH FOR ARMY

The Tribune is in receipt of radish
"a radish it might be said, which
lacks an equal. A radish, forsooth,
which instead of being designed to
stuff the mouth of a newspaper editor,
is far better calculated to serve q regi-
ment of soldiers for a month.
H. G. Wells, the English author,
some years ago used to write fanciful
stories. Once upon time he wrote
of a mystic powder, which, when
sprinkled upon plants or animals of
any kind, caused their growth to be
accelerated manifold times.
Verify, this radish has been be-
springfield with some of Wells mystic
growing powder. 1t might even have
been grown upon the land of the
Brobdingnaggian people Of Gulliver's
Travels.
1t is a "whopper" to describe in
plain, unvarnished United States. One
might even remark that it is 'hum-
dinger"
This esculent root is properly known
as the German black radish and is ex-
tensively cultivated in the "Old COun-
try"
This specimen was grown out in
Haarig by George Latham, chief en-
gineer at the brewery, and donated so
that an American may know what
good relish is. The radish weighs five
pounds and resembles a club.
This by way of postscript: 1t is said
these black radishes are very hot prop
ositions, but the man who said that
erred.

AUTO CATCHES FIRE,
GIVEN MUD BATH
Joe Lane Smears Blazing Car
and SmOthers the
Flames.

Fire which originated under the
hood of Joe Lanes new five-passenger
demonstration Hercules automobile
when Mr.. Lane was five miles west of
town on the Dutchtown road yesterday
afternoon, almost completely destroy
ing the body of the car and damaged
the engine.
Mr.. Lane, in an endeavor to control
the flames, gave his machine a virtual
mud bath.
Lane is agent for the car he was
driving and had been out in the coun-
try to call upon prospect. He was
driving toward town when he noticed
smoke coming from the hood near the
front end of the engine.
He Immediately drove to the side of
the road and leaped out of the ma
chine. He was alone.
AS he left the car, the flames burst
forth from the hood and in a few
moments had enveloped the entire
body of the machine. Lane ran to a
nearby farmhouse where he obtained
a bucket.
The place where his car caught fire
was near large pool of muddy water.
Lane helped himself and began work
ing on the fire with the murky wash.
An automobile occupied by four men
came up shortly after Lane set to
work and the men left their machine
to aid Lane fight the fire.
After the blaze had been extin-
guished, the Park Automobile Com
pany was telephoned to haul the dis
abled machine into the city. The dam
age is estimated at $3.50, which was
covered by insurance.

CAPE JURISTS HOLD
MEMORIAL SERVICE
Commemorate Judge W. II. Mil
Ter at Opening of County
Court.

Attorneys and jurists in Cape Girar-
deau County, who knew and had been
associated with the late Judge w. H.
Miller, Monday, on the opening of the
County Court in Jackson, assembled
there for a memorial service COM
memorating his work as one of their
number.
Men who had been Judge Miller's
bOyhood friends, had studied with him
in college and worked with him many
years, spoke for the different phases
of his character.
Judge Miller died last April. He
was born at Millerville and until he
was about II years old, he remained
on the farm there. At that time he
came to the Cape, where he studied
two years at the Normal school and
subsequently was a school teacher for
two years.
He eventually took a law course at
the University of Missouri, and was
graduated from there in 1879. He at
once began practicing law at Jackson
and later became an attorney for the
Cotton Belt, Missouri Pacific and Iron
Mountain railroads.
He returned to the Cape in 1906
when he was made president of the
Southeast Missouri Trust Co., which
position he held till his death. He also
was president several years of the
Cape County Savings Bank.
Moses Wybark was made chairman
of the committee to draft resolutions
at the memorial services which were
presented to Judge Miller's family.
Memorial addresses were made by
l. R. Kelso, who formerly was law
partner of Judge Miller, when the firm
name was Ely. kelso and Miller.
T. D. Hines, of Jackson, who knew
Judge Miller as boy, delivered an ex-
ceptional address on the Judges early
character. Judge Edward D. Hays, J.
Henry Caruthers, David Hays, Albert
Spreading, Judge R. G. Ranney, Judge
Kelly and several others who had
known Judge Miller intimately spoke.

NURSES Will HAVE
HOSPITAL REGISTER
Young Women Meet At st. Fran
els and Plan to Facilitate
Work.

A register for trained nurses living
and working in Cape Girardeau viii
be established at St. Francis Hospital
in a short time by the Graduate
Nurses of the city who held a meeting
yesterday afternoon.
At present there are five graduate
nurses available to physicians who
need them on a call. In many cases,
where a nurse has been needed badly
and quickly, physicians in charge have
been required to wire to st. Louis for
a trained nurse to attend the case, be-
cause they had no way of locating a
trained nurse in the Cape or knowing
which of those here were available at
that time.
In this way, the graduate nurses
who are located in the Cape perma-
nently, have been losing positions
which they would have been called to
had there been any way for the phys
icians to reach them quickly.
The register that will be installed
at the hospital will simply show when
each of the graduate nurses in the
city has either checked out on a case
or checked in from one and is avail
able for work again. Complete infor-
nation as to the nurses whereabout
will be kept on file.
When a physician makes call at
the hospital for a nurse and asks the
hospital attache for any individual
nurse, should she be out on case, the
physician will be advised and at the
same time furnished with the names
of those who are available, so that a
selection may be made at once.
The proposition of creating such a
register for the convenience Of both
the nurses and physicians who call for
them, was worked out in detail by
Mrs. Elizabeth Allen and Miss Be
atrice COnnor.
The Graduate Nurses, who have
formed an organization in the Cape,
met at the hospital yesterday after
noon to perfect their plans. At the
same time they elected officers as fol-
lows: Mrs. Allen, president; Miss Con-
nor, secretary; Miss Cora Daley,
treasurer.
The other members of the organiza-
ton are Mrs. Gladys Clark and Miss
Albright, of limo. Miss Lorine CAIN
shortly will be enrolled as a social
member of the organization.

1000 VISITORS AT
JACKSON CARNIVAL
COuntyseat damned With Guests
Courthouse Examinations
Give Splendor.

Jackson, Aug. 21-If Homecomers'
carnival draws Monday and Tuesday
as well as it did today, this year will
break the record for crowds. The city
was damned this afternoon and to-
night it was filled to capacity and the
visitors enjoyed themselves hugely.
The crowd in Jackson today and to-
night was estimated at between 1000
and 10000.
The electrical illuminations on the
County Court House added splendor to
the scene. The building was elaborate
ly decorated with bunting, flags and
banners. The cupola was ablaze with
electrical lights, and rows of lights ran
from the roof of the structure to the
ground.
Concessions lined both sides of the
principal streets. Every stand was
surrounded by patrons from early aft
ernoon until late tonight. One of the
most popular concessions was the
stand which had false mustaches for
sale. These upper lip decorations of
the villain variety attracted all of the
small boys and young men. A big
Ferris wheel and merry-go-round at
tracted both young and old. These
thrill producers were crowded during
the night, but no accidents were re-
ported.
The sidewalks were unable to ac-
commodate the crowds and about one
half of the visitors found it convenient
to walk through the middle of the
streets.
A veritable stream of automobiles
came and went from sun down until
midnight. The streets occupied by the
concessions were roped off so that
the machines could not pass through,
thus endangering pedestrians.
Schuchert's Concert Band of the
Cape made music all day long. DR..
Schuchert had with him thirty must
clans and their music kept the band
surrounded by crowds from the moment
they reached the county seat until they
departed for home.
In the afternoon a mammoth crowd
witnessed a ball game between the
CaDahaS of the Cane and the Jackson
nine. This was one of the best games
ever played in Jackson, but the visi-
tors won by score of 1 to 0, but the
first was not made until the beginning
of the sixteenth inning.
Some of the Cape society folk who
visited the Jackson Homecomers to-
night were: Mr.. A. R. Zoelsman had
in his party Miss Marie Patton, Miss
Yates, who is visiting Mrs. D. B. Smith
of the Cape, and Mr.. Frank Kimmel.
Mr.. Otto Kochtitzky and his fiance,
Miss Morse, formerly of the Cape and
who is here with her mother visiting
relatives and friends, were with a par
ty of friends. Mr.. Herman Bremen
mann escorted Miss Stuart. Mr.. Groves
motored out and had as his guest Miss
Alice Griffith. Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. J.
Koech and Mesdames Lee Albert and
J. P. Whiteside We're guests of Mr..
Chas. OverstOlZ.
