and relatives of the bride and the
bridegroom were present at the cele-
bration. At the conclusion of the
event the newlyweds stole away from
their friends and rode to the new
home near Pennington that the bride
groom had erected for them.
The bridegroom, very robust man,
is well known around Pennington and
Jackson, where he formerly lived. He
is considered wealthy. He sold his
farm recently and built himself a coy
home near Pennington. When this
was completed he got the bride.
Mrs. Reitzel was divorced Wednes-
day morning from her first husband
Doc Coca, to whom she had been
married since 1883. In her petition,
she charged her husband with having
neglected her. He also associated with
other women, she told the Judge.
Often, Mrs. Reitzel told the court.
she would follow her former husband
to see what he would do, and when
he learned she was playing detective,
he would abuse her. Nevertheless, she
said, she tried to forget the conduct
Of her husband, but the harder she
would try the less consideration she
would receive.
He finally left her, she said, and she
has not heard from him since.

ELECTRIC WEEK
TO OPEN TODAY:
WIRELESS HERE
Two Stations Will Transmit
Messages Through Air
Waves Daily.
TO PICK UP CODES
FROM OUT IN OCEAN
Utilities Company Will Give
Away a Present Each Day
Display Lasts Week.

Americas electrical week, AN nation
wide eight-day celebration, beginning
today, will be marked in the Cape this
morning By an exhibition of 4 wire
less station in operation. Harmon
Deal, the son of the banker, and an
electrical genius, will operate an in
strument on the top of the Trust Build
ing, and pick up messages sent by
John Ivy, another wireless operator
located in Albert Hall, at the Normal.
These two electricians will tinker
with air currents every day during
electrical week. A. NJ. Tinsley, who
is in charge of the exhibition, has ar
ranged to have Deal and Ivy show the
spectators how sound is carried on the
waves of the air. Spectators will be
able to hear the buzz of the wind as
the messages are transmitted between
the station at the Public Utilities of
flee on Broadway and the Normal
School.
These two wireless operators will
also discharge bombs in the air by
wireless waves. This will be one of
the most spectacular demonstrations
of the wireless exhibition. The two
stations will pick up messages from
out Of the state, and an effort will be
made to record wireless inquiries from
New England cities and even out at
sea.
The exhibitions this week will sur
pass anything ever witnessed in this
city before. Harnessed current will
perform many feats besides carrying
messages through the air. The wire
less demonstration will be as interest

How to Keep Stock Healthy
By L. A. Weaver.

Hogs become infested with worms
by picking up the eggs with the food
or in the drinking water. Therefore
to lessen the opportunities for the
hogs to become infested they should
be kept in clean, well-drained lots and
should be supplied with fresh, clean
drinking water and not allowed to
drink from ponds and mud-wallows.
Fresh Stacked lime sprinkled freely
over the lots occasionally will help to
destroy the worm eggs.
Hogs badly infested with worms
should be given q grains calomel,
grains santonin-for each 100-pound
hog; or 212 grains santonin, / drachm
areca nut, 2 grains calomel, 2 drachms
sodium bicarbonate-for each 100
pound shoat. These remedies should
be fed in thin slop. The slop should
be made out of ship-stuff OF bran.
The hogs should be dieted for at
least "a hours, then given the slop
containing the proper amount of medi-
cine. Blake sure that there is plenty
o. trough room so all hogs can get to
the trough without crOwding, so each
hog will get his share of the slop. If
necessary repeat in ten days or two
weeks.
A good remedy used at the Missouri;
Agricultural Experiment Station for
preventing worms is: pounds glaub-
ers salts, 8 pounds common salt, 4
pounds charcoal, l pound sulphur, 3
pounds copperas and 3 pounds sodium
bicarbonate. Mix and keep in a self
feeder or trough in q dry place where
the hogs can have access to it at all
times.
Hogs that are practically free from
worms are much harder than hogs
that are badly infested with worms.
Being harder they are more resistant
TO other diseases common to the hog.
So hogs should be kept free from
worms if they are to be the most
profitable
The Missouri Agricultural Expert
ment Station has demonstrated the
fact that gains may be put on fatten-
ing hogs rapidly and economically by
the use of Self-feeders.
Shoats weighing 1910 pounds at the
beginning of 60-day feeding period
gained 1.79 pounds a head daily,
weighing 22S.9 pounds at the close of
the feeding trial. During this time
they were supplied corn, shorts and
tankage, each of these feeds being
placed in a separate self-feeder and
the shoats allowed to eat as much of
each as they wished. When so fed
they seemed to balance their ration
about as well as could be done by
hand feeding. The proportion in which
the feeds were eaten are: Corn, 20.66
pounds; shorts, 393 pounds, and tank
age, l pound. The average daily feed
consumed per hog was 1856 pounds.
The amount of feed required for each
pound Of gain produced was 4.55
pounds.
With corn worth IS cents a bushel,

WIDOW, YEARS
OLD, Gets $4,000
FORLOSSOF MATE
Mrs. Lottie Windles Gets
Sum on Compromise From
FlOesch Construction Co.
EXPLOSION KILLED
YOUTHFUL HUSBAND
She Married When IA and Be-
came Widow Seven Months
Later, She Asserts.

Mrs. Lottie W. Windles. an attrac-
tive widow of Is years, and resident
of Advance, was awarded the sum of
$1,000 damages from the Floesch Con-
structiOn Co., as a settlement for the
death OF her husband, who was killed
while in the employ of the firm. Set
Element was made yesterday afternoon
in the Common Pleas Court, where the
suit for damages had been filed yes
terday morning by Wilson Balm, at
torney for Mrs. Windles. The case
was not contested by the construction
company, and after conference be-
tween the parties concerned, the
amount of damages was agreed upon
Mrs. Windles, because of her age,
sued through her guardian, J. H. Jen-
kins, the cashier of the Bank of Ad-
vance. Her mother, who is Mrs. Frank
Reynolds, came here with the youth
full widow ready to testify IN behalf
Of her daughter. There was no testi-
mony heard, as the defendants at
torney waived q jury and offered to
compromise the suit before it was
presented to the court.
Frank Windles, the husband of the
plaintiff, was killed on Sept. 9, while
he and a gang of laborers were blast
ing near Advance. They were paving
Il way for a public highway, and for
this purpose had to remove several
large trees. They were using dyna-
mate to tear the trees out of the
ground. 1t was said that a charge of
dynamite went off before it was sched-
uled to explode, caused by the care
lessness of a man who was in charge
of the work.
Windles was literally torn to bits.
Windles was 90 years old.
The couple had been married only
seven months, having eloped Feb. II.
Another suit against the FlOesch
Construction Company was settled
when Luther A. Higgins, of Thayer,
Mo-, was given damages by the attor-
ney of the company. The amount of
the settlement is not known. He also
was represented by Attorney Wilson
Balm.
Higgins, a soldier of fortune, was
injured last October while employed
on a dredge boat belonging to the con-
struction company. Two fingers of
his left hand were caught in the cogs
of a wheel and mashed. He was
brought to the Cape, where his fingers
were saved BY an operation performed
at the st. Francis Hospital. 1t was
said that the accident was due to the
lighting in the machine room
Of the dredge boat.
Shortly before the accident occur
red, Higgins had returned from Liver
pool, England He had sailed there
in charge of a load of war mules.
When he returned to the United |
States, he went back to his home in
Thayer, small town near Dutch
own, and obtained a position with the
company. He is now en-
,loyed by the Southeast Missouri
Garage Company, which is located on
North Spanish street.

In one of the experiment at the Mis-
souri, Agricultural Experiment Station
corn has been grown for % years on
the same plot of ground with an APP
plicatiOn of manure averaging about
seven tons annually. In comparison
with this, corn has been grown in vari-
Gus rotations without manure. A sum-
mary of the yields for the last six
years on these plots shows that the
average yield of corn on the rotated
plots is greater than the average yield
of corn which has been grown cOntin-
uously with manure. In other words
rotation has been somewhat better
than heavy manuring in this expert
ment. The last six years of the quar-
ter century have been chosen for COM
parison since one of the rotations is
q siX-year rotation and since this num-
her of years is sufficient to largely
overcome seasonal variations.
1t should not be understood from
these results that rotation is sufficient
TO maintain the yield of corn. As q
matter of fact there are other plots
in this same experiment which have
been both rotated and manured. TIE
average yields of these plots is very
above rotation alone. The
points are, that rotation is
more important than fairly heavy
manuring in the long run. but that it
is not all-sui1icicrt; that in order to
maintain land in hroductivencss eco
nomically, it should be both rotated
and manured. while in many cases
commercial fertilizing materials ap-
piled in addition to the manure will
give still further return.
Every year sees a greater number
of Missouri farmers using manure as
a top dressing on wheat There is
evidence to show where
wheat IS grown in rotation. manure
can very often be applied to better
as a top dressing on this
crop than as an application before
corn. There are two principal adj
vantages of this practice. The first one
is that it greatly stimulates the growth
of tho wheat and helps to prevent win
ter killing with a resulting increase in
yield. The second one is that since
clover and grass are usually sown
with the wheat and since manure aids
very greatly in securing a stand Of
these crops when used as top dress
ing with the wheat, this alone may be
sufficient reason for its application.
As a matter Of fact the top dressing
Of wheat with manure almost insurcs
a stand of clover or grass on land
which is at all suited to these crops.
The land may be too sour OF too wet
to grow clover. Much land in Mis-
souri, is too sour. If it is only slight
ly sour, the manure grcatlySaids in
getting a clover stand. If it is very
sour, lime is usually essential in addi- |
ton.

Gil DEGREES.

Parkkeeper Edw. Brunkc and all
members of the fire department were
given full police power last night in
a resolution adopted by the members
of the City Council in the regular
! meeting. This resolution gives these
city employees the right TO make an
arrest in the case of an emergency or
otherwise exercise the rights Of Ir,-
liceman.
The meeting was Of short duration,
there being little business before the
house. The complaints made by scv-
eral members in behalf Of the citizens
were referred to their respective conf
mittees for settlement. Owing to the
fact that the Missouri Public Utilities
Company will conduct another hear
ing on the intake tower proposition,
the council adjourned until Thursday
morning, when this hearing will be
conducted in the council chamber.
The Pesthouse shall be inspected
by the Building Committee of the
Council. 1t was brought out that this
inspection had been ordered more than
d year ago, and that the committee
had never made report as to the con-
dtiOn of the institution. Councilman
ArmGardt said the building was in need
Of repairs. 1t is wholly unfit for o.
cuparcy, he said. Every window and
door is gone and the interior is not
suitable FOR TIE living quarters, he told
the council.
The Street and Water Committee
was requested to see that the water
mains on South Sprigg street be ex-
tended in order to accommodate the
citizens in South Cape. Councilman
Kaess related numerous complaints
made by the citizens.
Frederick street, which was paved
recently. was accepted by the council.
after it had been examined by the
Street Committee and the latter had
submitted favorable report. The
street was finished last Saturday by
Herman LoefFel.

iIege in the Cape, asking for a reduc-
ton in the license for this privilege,

tee In his letter to the council, ne
pointed out the fact that he could not
operate the whole season because Of
the leagues being dissolved, and for
that reason he thought he was entitled
to a reduction of the license fee.
The poor illumination Of Giboney
street caused a resolution to be passed
asking the lighting company to install
two lights, one near Maple street ard
the other in front of the oil station.
The contract of John II. Rouse for
the paving of Hanover street was eX-
tended 90 days. Rouse requested this
extension in a letter to the council.

PHOTOPLAYS. AND

Living NeighborS to

Infinite Variety
BY GARDNER MACK.

A very dignified gentleman in a
most luxurious limou"ine was
startled while driving along the short
avenue between the White House
and the Treasury Department ono
afternoon this week to be hailed in
most undignified manner by a man
who appeared to be a rough sort of
person and told in language more
plain than elegant to- get a move
on himself and get out of the way.
The rough sort of person was stand
ing up in the tonneau of another car
behind motion picture camera
which a cameraman was rapidly
"cranking." Another automobile was
following in which was veiled
woman. Following that came
third car carrying a gesticulating
man. Shortly Washington film pat
rons will be startled by seeing a mo-
tion picture drama in which the
heroine is chased" through the
principal streets of their city by the
villain of the piece. Everything on
the street at the time the picture was
in the process OF making was made
to feel the presence Of the picture
making people. Everything was sup
posed to either give wav to them or
become part of the scenery OF the
picture.
Washington only suffers from mo-
ton picture play makers occasionally.
Chicago. New York. Philadelphia.
Fort Lee. y. ito say nothing or
long suffering Los Angeles-have the
picture makers with them all the
time. Los Angeles. of course. has
the worst of it. The police there
have been reduced to such a state
that they don't dare interfere with
hold-up. because they are afraid of
being laughed at for trying to stop
motion picture play. In Chicago-on

one is likely to run into Charlie
