| Sam Doss is we'll known in this city
having come here in 1896, where he
remained for several years while en-
gagged in the pursuit of gambling.
While he made Cape Girardeau his
headquarters for long time, he fol
lowed the Circuit Courts throughout
Southeast Missouri on account of the
splendid opportunities offered in his
particular profession.
At one time when mention was made
of his practices in a Potosi paper, anC
Doss was referred to as a citizen OF
Cape Girardeau, Michael Flynn, editor
of a newspaper in this city, denied
that Doss belonged in the Cape. Doss
who is giant in stature, became in
cenSed at the article and when he met
Flynn on the street, administered q
brutal horsewhipping to the ageC
newspaper man.
Doss is an ex-convict from the Hi.
nois State Penitentiary, where he was
sent for participating in a foot race
swindle.
When he left this city he went to
Charlottesville, where he gambled fol
long time. He afterwards went to
Pennington, where he was converted
and recently became an evangelist.

Councilman Bowman, it is said, held
that this change nullifies the ordi.

under this law.
Mayor Kage, when informed of this
theory last night, said Mr.. Bowman's
contention was erroneous. Zone of the
objects. of giving a measure three
readings is to find mistakes and cor
rect them, he said. THAT is all we did
The change in the ordinance was in
significant, but was done to make it
conform absolutely to the revised
statutes. 1t will not affect the cleo

Many voters called upon me today to

what little opposition that has
been manifested is more of a benefit

After no little difficulty. Emmett Cor

equally long time to induce Mr.. Cor
rigan to forego several legitimate
engagements, but the fact that the
picture is now completed is the best
demonstration that the Metro gener-

MAUD ALLEN FEATURED IN
RUG Makers DAUGHTER

On receipt of word that Maud AL
Ian the world famous dancer, had
been secured as star in "The Rug
Makers Daughter" all other produc-
tons of Bosworth Incorporated were
sidetracked until its completion. Some
idea Of the lavishness with which

been mounted is conveyed in the $751;
600 oriental rug which hangs upon
the wall of the New York rug shop
in the latter half Of the picture.
This rug was specially secured from
