PARALYSIS IS FATAL
TO FRED HARTMANN
Resident of Cape County For
More Than Half a Century
Ill Since May.

Fred Hartmann, 81 years old, who
has been Cape County farmer all his
life, died at $3.50 o'clock yesterday
afternoon at his home on the North
Sprigg street road. Paralysis and heart
trouble was the cause of his death.
Hartmann has been i'll since last
May. About a month ago, his condi-
ton was so serious, physicians gave
him up. He rallied, however, and a
week later, his recovery seemed to be
almost complete.
He left his bed to which he had been
confined for q great part of the time
he had been i'll, and walked about the
house although he never was able to 10
any work.
A few days ago, he suffered a re-
lapse and gradually grew worse till the
end came yesterday.
Hartmann was born on farm near
the one on which he lived recently. He
was a bachelor till about five years
ago. He is survived by his wife and a
stepson, Dennis, whom Hartmann had
adopted.
He also is survived by a brother,
William Hartmann, who lives nearby,
and sister, Mrs. Johanna SybiIene, Of
Sweet Springs.
The sister will COME from Sweet
Springs for the funeral which will be
Thursday from the residence to the
Hanover Cemetery.

WIRELESS WIZARD
HAS kin in CAPE
Expert in Honolulu Who Heard
Washington Chat With Paris,
isC. III. OverstOIz's Cousin

Lloyd Espenschied, the telephone
engineer in Honolulu, who listened tc
the wireless telephone conversation
Thursday night between Washington
D. c., and Paris, is a first cousin OF
Charles H. OverstolZ, and his three
sisters of this city.
Espenschied, who is only % years
of age, is an expert in charge of the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company in Honolulu. re was born and
educated in st. Louis. His father, the
late Fred Espenschied, was a State
Senator from st. Louis for two terms
The young expert, who is a nephew
of Mrs. Otto E. Forster, is known as an
electrical genius. When Is years old
he built wireless apparatus in New
York City, while the guest of his
grandfather, and intercepted a mess
age sent by President Roosevelt from
battleship at sea to the White
House. The lads apparatus prevent
ed the Presidents message from reach
ing its destination, and young Espen-
schied received much newspaper pub
licity as a result of the incident.
After finishing college at Harvard,
Espenschied became connected with
the American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company, and his inventions
have assisted in the development Of
this new discovery.
Espenschied was in his office in the
Pearl Harbor Navy Yard at Honolulu
when he listened to the conversation
from the United States with Paris.
He was 1890 miles from the Wash
ington station, yet he heard distinctly
the message to the engineer in Paris
and his answer.
After Espenschied notified the
Washington Office that he had heard
the conversation between Washington
and Paris, John J. Carly, chief engi-
neer of the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company, stationed in Chi
cago, communicated with Thomas A.
Edison at Orange, N. j., by wireless
telephony, notifying the electrical wiz
ard that a human voice had veen
waited over the sea by wireless.
Young Espenschied spent several
months with Thomas A. Edison in the
latter's experiment station at Orange.

.KACE LAMENTS AN
UNKISSED BRIDE
Declares Girl Prettiest of 700
Whose Nuptials He Has
Said

"Of all sad words of tongue or pen,
The saddest are these: 1T might
have BEEN"
Never was the truth of that jingle
more cOnvincingly impressed upon the
mind of Mayor Rage than last evening
when he married Miss Bertha Smiddy
of Oran, and Claude F. Metz of the
Cape, an employee at the Frisco shops
He failed to kiss his bride,-that is
to say, Metz failed to kiss his bride.
And she was pretty! The Mayor
said SO too, and the Mayor knows, fol
he is known in a good many places in
this part of Missouri as the "Marrying
Justice of the Peace"
81 have tied the knot for more thar
700 couples since / have been here,
the Mayor declared, "and Pm just con,
WINGED she was the prettiest that eve,
stood up before me-"
Mrs. Metz is only 20, and her hus.
band %. The couple smiled their hap.
piness as the Mayor performed the
ceremony. She smiled sort O. expect.
antly into his face as the lost words
were said, but the kiss-it didn't come
He turned to shake hands with the
Mayor.
Then they departed and the Mayor
conjured up the bit of poetry that ex,
pressed his sentiments.
The Mayor last night also married
Hen Huedel and Miss Grace Wynes
both of the Cape. Huedel is an en-
plOye at the shoe factory.

WIDOW ASKS$lO,OOO
ON HUSBAND'SDEATH
Charges Neglect When George
Brown Was Hit by
Hartle Auto.

Mrs. Francis H. Brown, widow of the
late George Brown, who died April -,
last, after being injured by an automo-
bile. yesterday filed in the Court Of
Common Pleas, damage suit for S10,-
900 against Louis Hartle and Edward
Hartle, of Haarig, who were in the
machine that struck Brown.
The suit was filed for Mrs. Brown
by Orren Wilson. 1t is cited as the
State of Missouri at the relation of and
to the use of Mrs. Brown, and is a sta
tutory action for the death of her nus
band.
Brown was struck by the automobile
about o'clock in the evening on April
8, last, as he was crossing Good Hope
street going north on the east side
of Sprigg street.
The Hartle machine was running
east on Good Hope when Brown was
run down. Brown sustained a frac-
tured skull and numerous decorations
which caused his death four days later.
The petition declares that Brown was
earning go day as the support for
Mrs. Brown and she asks additional
damages, such as the Court may deem
proper.
Mrs. Brown, in her petition, declares
that the Hartle machine was not
equipped with proper brakes and was
not conforming with city ordinances in
having lights burning. She claims al
so that the traffic ordinances were be-
ing violated by the motor car in driv-
ing beyond the speed limit.

MAYOR kAGE IS CALLED
TO AID AT JACKSON WEDDING
Far From His Regular "Beat" Mayor
Says Ceremony With Lane As
Witness.

While Mayor Rage was in the Court
house at Jackson yesterday afternoon
conducting the hearing of Waddel
Fields, charged in warrant with be-
ing an accomplice in a forgery case, he
was called into service to perform Z
marriage ceremony.
The ceremony was for Charles r
Thompson and Miss Nellie |. Cuberly
both of Wittenberg, Perry County. The
couple went to the Courthouse fol-
their license and then sought Justice
of the Peace who could perform the
ceremony for them.
The regular men on the job in Jack
son were absent at the time, and Sam
Vandivort went to Rage for his pro-
fessional assistance. Rage said the
necessary words as Senator Thomas F.
Lane and Vandivort acted as wit
ncsSes.

PIONEER VISITS DUTCHTOWN.
FIRST TIME IN II YEARS.
Mrs. Conrad Vogelsang Makes Trip by
Auto and Finds Many Changes
In Surroundings.

For the first time in IL years, Mrs.
Conrad Voglesang, so years old, one
of the oldest and bets known women
in Cape County, yesterday went to
Dutchtown, place that years ago she
visited frequently, and place where
she knew most of the residents.
The trip was made by motor car,
whereas years ago, travel was by
means of a much slower vehicle-the
horse and buggy or farm wagon.
Mrs. Vogelsang was taken on her
journey by two married daughters,
Mrs. Lilly Nussbaum and Mrs. j. r.
Biley, who are visiting in the Cape
from Indianapolis, Ind. They visited
Mrs. Vogelsang's brother, Henry Haet-
or, at Dutchtown.
As she quickly made the journey
from the Cape to Dutchtown, Mrs.
Voglesang spied out many changes
that have taken place along the road,
and remarked them all to her daugh-
ters. She was met in Dutchtown by
many old friends that she had known
on her former visits there.

MRS. EMMA MCNEELY DIES
IN ARKANSAS SANITARIUM.
Former Jackson Woman Was Well
known Throughout County for
Her Musical Attachments.

Mrs. Emma McNeeley, formerly of
Jackson, and well-knOwn in musical
circles throughout the county, died in
sanitarium in Boonville, Ark, early
yesterday morning of tuberculosis. She
had been i'll long time.
The news of her death came in a
telegram to Mrs ]. C. Clippard, sis
ter, in Jackson. The message stated
that the body would leave Boonville
early today and would reach Jackson
about noon tomorrow. Burial will
be made in the city cemetery of Jack
son.
Mrs. McNeeley was the wife of Bern
McNeeley, an official in the Interna-
tional Harvester Company, with head
quarters in Boonville, Ark. Besides
her husband, Mrs. McNeely leaves
three children, two sons and a daugh-
ter. One of her sons is graduate of
the United States Military Academy,
and is on the Battleship Louisiana,
which is now lying off the coast of
North Caroline. He will not be able
to attend his mothers funeral.
Mrs. McNeely is the daughter of
Mrs. B. F. Wigginton of Jackson, and
possessed rare musical talent. Miss
Minnie Wigginton, sister, lives in st.
Louis.

was binding upon the receivers that
no matter what happened to the road
the Frisco would have to make good
the face value Of the bonds.
After this step was effected the bond
holders are now proceeding to have the
road sold for what it will bring on the
physical properties. The money re-
allied from this sale will be prorated
among the bond holders, and, the Fris-
co, under its contract, will have to
make good the remaining portion of
the face value of the bonds.
1t is pretty generally admitted that
the roads physical value at present
will not warrant a price to be paid for
it equal to the face value of the bond
issue which rests against it. The Fris-
co as a consequence will have a heavy
deficit to make up.
At the same time, it is argued that
the Frisco in order to save something,
may want to take over the road. The
Frisco virtually will have to stand
good for the high per cent of the
bonds face value, so it argued that the
roads management will bid the prop
erty in with view of making the road
paying feeder line when the Frisco
has been released from receivership.
1t is possible that some other rail-
road interest may be present at the
sale to bid in the properties, R. H.
Schultz declared last night, so that in
the event that the Frisco decides to
take over the line, the bid may be
forced high.
Johnson will prepare the advertise
ments for the newspapers of the sale
at his office in St. Louis and send
them to New York, Chicago, st. Louis
and Cape Girardeau within a few days,
he declared.
The present action of the trustees
in forcing the sale of the road, in a
measure explains the circumstances
surrounding the quashing of a sale of
100000 worth of bonds of the C. G.
& N. held by the Mississippi Valley
Trust Co., of st. Louis. The Missis-
sippi Valley Trust Co., last summer
advertised block of 100000 worth
of bonds. The sale date approached
and it was believed the auction would |
affect the outcome of the
roads financial tangles.
A few days before the sale was to
have been held, the affair was called |
off. 1t is believed that that block was,
at that time gotten under the control
of interests wishing to force the liqui-
dation of the bonds to am issue with
the Frisco. |

WILL DEDICATE
CHURCH NOV. IA
Special Services Arranged in
GOrdOnville by the Con-
gregatiOn

Zion Church, the German Lutheran
Church at Gordonville, much of which
has been built by the hands of men ir
the congregation and which now vir.
tually has been completed, will be ded-
icated November IA, on the fiftieth an
niversary of the dedication of the old
church which stands scarcely a half
block from the new structure.
The dedication exercises and cele-
bratiOn of the old church's fiftieth an
niversary will be combined into one
ceremony. The members of the con-
gregation will assemble at the now
historic structure in the morning, and
march in a body over into the new edi-
| fee
The cost of the new church building
has been approximately $4,000, but
this cost has been cut down virtually
a third by the donations from men,
bers of the CONGRATULATIONS of
work, and materials.
The construction of the church has
been in the charge of a Building Com
mittee composed of the following men:
Jacob Gluckshartz, chairman, A. F.
Lorberg, secretary and treasurer,
Henry Suedekum, Fred Grosshider and
Alvin Feuerhahn.
Secretary Lorberg was in the Cape
yesterday afternoon making final ar
engagements for some of the equipment
that will be placed in the completed
structure. He declared that he expects
to close up the work of the Building
Committee by November 6.
Several bills against the church are
outstanding, he said land he declared
that the committee wants every obi
cation against the church, whether it
be for labor, materials or anything
else connected with the building, to be
handed to him in the form of a state
ment or bill by November 6.
The members of the congregation
when they determined last spring to
build new church, selected the plot
of ground not far from the present
building, and made the excavation at
once themselves. One of the members
would bring a team, another furnished
wagon, several others worked on the
plows and many more took spade and
pick in hand and did the heavy work.
1t required but short time to COM
plete the excavation and the stone
foundation was commenced The mem
bers of the congregation, some of
whom were stone masons, finished the
foundation and at that stage the build
ing was turned over to a contractor |
for completion. Even later, many |
members of the church aided free
gratis with the work.
The church is one story high and is
built of brick. Its finish inside is conf
pletely in oak and it will be one of |
the most magnificent and most COM
plete structures Of its kind in Cape
County.

who several years ago was pastor of
The little church at Gordonville, will
De present at the dedication exercises,

BICCROWD HEARS
DR.. KUEHNEMANN
AT COUNTY SEAT
German Lecturer of Inter.
national Fame. Speaks to
Packed Court Room.
SAYS JEALOUS ENGLAND
PRECIPITATED THE WAR
Will Repeat Address at Court
House Here Tonight
Big Crowd Expected.

A crowd, estimated at more than 500
filed the Court House at Jackson last
night to hear DR.. Eugene Kuehne-
mann, the distinguished German edu-
Gator, discuss the causes that precipi-
tated the war in Europe.
DR.. Kuehnemann spoke in English
for more than an hour and then gave
a twenty-minute talk in German. His
address was frequently interrupted
with applause, and when he finished,
his listeners formed in line and shook
hands with their distinguished guest.
People came from distances of ten
miles to hear DIR. Kuehnemann relate
the conditions that were responsible
for the spoch-making struggle in
Europe
He declared that England's greed
was the direct cause of the war; that
Britain realized that its strangle hold
on the world commerce was slipping
away, and the bulk of it was going to
Germany.
The Court House was not large
enough to accommodate all of those who
gathered inthe County seat to hear DIR.
Kuenhemann, and many stood on the
steps and even on the lawn. His big
voice easily carried to those who were
unable to gain admission, and they re-
manned until he finished his lecture.
DIR. Kuehnemann was entertained by
Fred Kies, the well-known Jackson edi-
tor, at the Central Hotel, where a
special dinner was prepared. He was
taken to the County seat from this city
by Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. J. Koeck, Father
F. Bemberg, Capt. H. w. Bridges, c.
Wielpuetz and Charles H Overstolz,
who were at the station to greet him
when the Frisco train from st. Louis
reached the city.
Reservations had been made by
Capt. Bridges, secretary of the Ger
man American Alliance, and upon ar
irving, he was taken to the st. Charles
Hotel for luncheon. After the repast
he and the Reception Committee mo-
tored to Jackson.
DIR. kuehnemann returned to the
Cape last night after the lecture in
the Koeck automobile With him were
Mr.. and Mrs. Koeck, Rev. Bemberg,
and A. r. Zoelsman.
He is considered one of the German
Empires most noted educators, and
has represented his Government at
Harvard on two occasions. He is a
linguist and a remarkable orator.
DIR. Kuehnemann's address last
night was his eighty-first, given in as
many cities. He has visited all of the
principal cities in the United States
during the vast year. From the Cape
he goes to st. Louis, and after brief
stay in that metropolis, he will depart
for the South, where he will remain
during the winter months. His lectures
are given in the interest of the Red
Cross, and donations that are made,
are used to aid the wounded and the
widows and orphans in Europe.
