CAPAHAS TO MEET
new MADRID HERE
Contest Here Sunday Will De-
eide Southeast Missouri
Championship.

The final game to decide the base
ball championship of the Southeast
Missouri League between the Cape and
New Madrid will be played Sunday
afternoon at the Fairgrounds in Cape
Girardeau.
The tentative plans to have the
game played in Cairo on neutral"
grounds were predicated on the chan
ces of the Cape management in OBJ
tanning a large excursion steamer to
carry a large crowd of rooters to the
game.
Capt. Buck Leyhe of the steamer
Cape Girardeau, last night told Man
ager Joe Barenkamp that it would be
impossible to send the steamer Spread
Eagle, a large st. Louis excursion
steamer down to the Cape, because the
management was afraid to risk the
excursion boat on such long trip I'M
der present weather conditions.
Consequently it will be impossible to
take big crowd of Cape fans to Cairo
and the game must be played here in
preference to New Madrid. Indications
are that many baseball followers in
New Madrid will motor to the Cape
for the game Sunday if the weather
will permit.
Barenkamp is preparing his team to
defeat the New Madrid nine. New
Madrid won the championship of the
first half of the season and the con-
test for the last half of the season
promises to be close.
Barenkamp yesterday said he will
have a new pitcher to spring on the
New Madrid team. He is not ready to
tell what the new twirler's name is,
but expects to have. a deal completed
within a few days for a mound artist
of real merit.
Baseball critics who have followed
the Capahas this season, are unani-
nous in their opinion that the weak
spot in the Barnekamp machine is to
be found in the pitchers box. AL
though it may be late in the season to
be trying to remedy this loOp-hole,
Barenkamp this Sunday will try to
produce a man who will deliver the
goods in the same way that the rest of
the team has been playing.

MAT MORRISON AZ
YEARS MAN
Weather Prophet Refusing to Re-
veal Age, Says He May
Wed Yet.

Col. Mat Morrison, long distance
weather prophet and an unincumbercd
widower, will celebrate his 47th an
niversary as a resident of Cape Girar-
deau next Monday. He says there are
but two men now living in this city
who were here when he arrived forty
seven years ago. They arc Judge Will
Ter and Bernard Bremermann.
Col. Morrison yesterday discussed
the change in Cape GiTardeau since he
became a part of the city. He went
fishing at Independence and Spanish
streets for several years after coming
to the Cape. A small stream turned
east where Independence and Spanish
now converge and in this bend was an
ideal fishing hole, beside which the
Colonel spent many pleasant after
moons.
West of Pacific street in those days
was made up Of forests and untitled
flat lands. He used to hunt in the I'M
fenced fields that bounded the city
west of the line of the present Pacific
street.
North Cape Girardcau, which is one
of the busiest sections of the city now,
was but a wilderness when Col. Mat
Morrison took up his abode in the
Cape. The southern part of the city.
now known as South Cape. was
haven for trappers, who sold their furs
to commission men in this city.
Cape Girardeau was Just trading
post tucked away in the hills Al years
ago. 1t was without railroads, but as
that was the balmy period OF steam
boating, the people had no difficul:;-
in reaching railroad ccntcrs. Col. Nor
rison doesn't really remember nov,
people lived here then, but there "were
not enough to brag about" he said
yesterday.
GLOW old or you, Colonel? ?" the willy
bachelor was asked. "Now, that's just
what | calculated would come next,
replied the Colonel. "You know | am
not too old to get hitched up again, If
l could find the right kind of a gal,
and the Colonel Uttered aloud.
Don't mention my age. You know
have my eyes on couple of prOmis-
ing widows and they might shy at me
if they thought | was an old man. Con
fidentially, l never felt quite so young
in my life. | actually feel real giddy,
but that, of course, is just between
u.s."

LUTHERAN WOMEN
SHY AT new HOTEL
Elder Members of Church ReIuc-
tant to Hold Meetings in
Alt Home.

Since the Trinity Lutheran Church
took over the old Alt home at Thcmis
and Pacific streets about 4 month ago,
the members of the young peoples or
CARNATIONS in the church have been
trying to get the members of the Old
Ladies Aid Society, a sort of sewing
circle, to participate in the use of the
structure.
The home, until further arrange
mcnts are made by the committee in
charge of it, is being devoted to the
use Of all church organizations to be
a club house and social center for the
Lutherans in this community.
The women of the Old Ladies' Aid
Society, however, although the doors
of the Alt home have been thrown
open to them, have preferred to hold
their meetings this month at the
homes Of various members just as
they have done for about fifty years.
They have been hcsitant to change
their custom of having the homely
gatherings at the various residences
in the city where they talked the neigh
borhood gossip Just as they have done
it for year in and year out.
When the younger organizations ap-
preached the veteran organization,
they also asked the Old Ladies Aid
Society TO furnish one of the rooms at
the Alt home. The room then would
become the club room of the Aid So
ciety.
Yesterday afternoon the Young La
dies Aid Society held its fortnightly
meeting at the Alt home and cam
paigncd among the members of the
organization, by having several of the
older women at the meeting as their
guests.
The idea was to win over the voter
an organization and get it well estab-
lished in one of the best rooms in the
former Alt mansion. The Old Ladies'
Aid Society was represented by sew
eral of its members who were royalty
entertained.
The older matrOns expressed their
pleasure at the club house plan after
having been shown through from top
to bottom.-The younger women made
thorough converts of their guests.
They showed them how easy it was to
serve a nice luncheon at their meet
ing. How it would be possible for
them to hold their meetings there in
a room especially fitted out for them.
The delegation from the older So
ciety left we'll satisfied, and according
to one of those who attended, the vet
eran organization will be advised to
change their plan of meeting.
The older organization will have its
meeting next Wednesday at the home
of Rev. A. Wilder, when the subject
of moving will be discussed and the
society will lay plans for equipplng Its

ten cents per pound and cheaper In
larger quantities. At all times hogs
need plenty of pure water and salt and
charcoal.
In the cases reported so far this
year cholera was not to blame, the
hogs were simply out of condition and
needed a purging. At present there IS
less cholera in the county at this sea-
son of the year than there has been
for several years. In order to main
tain this desirable condition it is nee
essary that all cases of trouble be re-
ported and promptly attended to.

DIVORCE DESERVED,

Justice Refuses Decree, hut
Thinks Gardner Jones of

CALLS SUIT COLLISION

Mrs. Hester A. LaHn-Jones. widow Of
Albert :. IafIln of Chicago, who was
one of tho founders of the Diamond
Match Company. yesterday lost her suit
for a divorce from Gardner Jones. who
married her after he had been divorced

who handed down an opinion comment
ing on Joncs's "depraved" character. and
finding that the charges against Jones
were sufrcicntly established but assert
