work is done and what is needed.
1t is not an investigation with a
lot Of whoop and hurrah, and enough
dust thrown in the eyes Of the pub
lie to keep them from seeing that
the noise of reform is not just noise;
but calm, deliberate study of
what should be, in the administra-
ton of public affairs. We recently
read a story in which woman
cured her husband Of an affinity"
simply by insisting upon reading
aloud on a Sunday afternoon, in the
family library, the book recommend

investigation as that mapped out by
the Indiana suffragists ought to
have similar effect upon the type
of official who regards his Office as a
mere money-making machine. On
the other hand, it should have the
effect of strengthening the faithful
ness Of all right minded officials.

J. j. OSteeen, prosperous plant
er near Emmett, came to Hope to-
day today to dispose of an especial
good grade and heavy bale Of cot
ton. He found a purchaser in Peter
Brundidge, who paid 26A cents for
the cotton. The bale weighed 673
pounds and netted Mr.. O'Steen
$176.66. 1t was Of the Wilson va
riety and was grown on sandy land.
The seed from this bale was sold
for $39.05, making a total amount
received for seed and cotton of
$215.48. 1t isn't necessary to say
that Hampstead county land will
produce more value to the square
inch than any land in the South
west. Hope (Ark) Herald.
A generous addition of longer
staple cotton to the Henderson
County crop next year, would bring
more money and hurt nothing. Some
Henderson County farmer might
make the start by investigating the
Wilson variety.

seed as mentioned above.
Care should be taken not to let
the grain sprout before seeding, If
the grain is sown before it is
thoroughly dry a larger amount per
acre should be used.

Millionaire Publisher of Cincinnati

CAPT STOUT'S Wife
Is OPERATED UPON
Appendix and TumOr Removed
In st. Louis Hosl tal-C0n-
ditiOn Favorable.

Mrs. J. L. Stout, wife of Capt. Stout,
one of the prOprietors of the Bee
Store, underwent a serious operation
in st. Louis late Thursday, for appen-
dicitis and other intestinal disorders.
A tumOr was also removed. Accord
ing to reports from Capt. Stout yes
terday, she recovered nicely from the
anasthetic and her physicians consider
the operation a success.
Mrs. Stout, accompanied by her
husband, went to st. Louis Monday,
and upon their arrival, Mrs. Stout
entered the hospital to prepare for the
operation. She has been in i'll health
for the past year and had been under
treatment by DR.. w. c. Patton, who
two weeks ago informed her that she
could not recover without an opera
ton.
As she had undergone an operation
by DR.. Smith, one of the best surgeons
in st. Louis, six years ago, she went
to ST. Louis last week and consulted
him about her illness. His diagnosis
agreed exactly with that made By Dr..
Patton, and he likewise informed her
that her, life could only be spared
through an operation.
Mrs. Stout, who is the daughter of
Mrs. l.. F. Klostermann of this city,
is one of the best known ladies in Cape
Girardeau, and is a social favOrite.
She has suffered from chronic ap-
pendicitis for several years, which her
physicians had hoped could be relieved
without the necessity of an operation.
When it was discovered that a tumor
had formed, it was decided to remove
the appendix with the one operation.
Although her illness is serious, her
physicians stated that her general
physical condition is excellent, which
will make her recovery certain, they
informed Capt. Stout. She rested well
all day yesterday and every indication
was most favorable.
Capt. Stout will remain at his wife's'
bedside until she is well on the road
to recovery. He is keeping Mrs.
Stout's relatives and many friends in
this city informed as to her progress.

FINDS BONE BREAK
IS TWO DAYS OLD
Ella Oliver, 2, Fell Down Steps
At Her Home - Pain
Causes Probe.

Two days after three-year-old Ella
Oliver had sustained a fall at her
home at 800 Good Hope street, which
had broken her left shoulder blade, her
lament and cries of pain yesterday
caused a doctor to be summoned and
the character of her injury first was
discovered.
The child fell from step leading
from the dining room at her home to
a porch, distance of but few feet.
1t was not believed she could have sus-
tanned severe injury.
However, on the following day,
Thursday, the child complained to her
mother, Mrs. Minnie Oliver, and tried
to make it clear that she had pain
in her shoulder.
The lack of proper medical attention
and the failure to have the shoulder
blade set, yesterday began to become
serious, the child's arm and shoulder
muscles became stiffened and sore.
When a physician finally was sum-
moned, the bone was set, and last
night it was said the child will recover
within a short time.
The little girls brother, Frank j..
Oliver, 8 years old, had his left shout
der smashed three weeks ago when he
fell out of tree while trying to show
his companions how to do a trapeze
act called "skin-the-cat." The boy fell
about IL or Is feet, landing on his
head and shoulder and being knocked
unconscious.

DEMURRER BLOCKS
ARLINGTON TRIAL
Judges Action This Morning
Will Decide Butler County
Suits.

A demurrer raised in the trial of
the $4,000 Butler County tax commits
sion suits in Common Pleas Court yes
terday blocked the trial, and Judge
Snider's action this morning either in
sustaining the demurrer or overriding
it, virtually will decide the outcome of
the suits.
Carl c. Arlington, county collector
of Butler County, is suing eight form
er township collectors for tax commits
sions aggregating $500 which he
claims he is entitled to by reason of
his appointment when the county voted
out the township organization and
knocked the township collectors jobs
out of existence.
Edward l.. Arlington, attorney for
the collector, was on the stand most
of the time in presenting the case to
the jury, and at the close of his testi-
mony, when the case was rested, the
attorneys for the eight township Off
Gals filed an instruction to the jury
making a pre-emptory order to return
& verdict for the defendants.
The instruction asserted that by the
testimony in the case, Abbington's at
torneys had not shown cause of &C
ton and declared that he had on stand
ing in court whatver.
If the Judge upholds this instruc-
ton it will mean that the case is lost
for Collector Arlington, but if he
overrules the instruction and does not
allow it to GO to the Jury, the trial
may proceed, or the attorneys for the
defense may stand on that instruction
and prepare to take the case to a
higher court.

Judge w. H. Willer yesterday aft
ernoon ordered a mans release from
jail when he learned that the prison
er's mother was seriously i'll and was

Moore, Col. Roosevelt's special repre-
sentative from Pennsylvania, in his
paper, The Leader, yesterday said that
Col. Roosevelt would declare for JUS

"While this newspaper has no auth

it is satisfied that he will shortly de
clare himself in favor of the election
to the Presidency of the one man
qualified to steer the ship of state
safely through the dark and stormy
days that are sure to come. That man
is Justice Charles F.. Hughes.
There is every reason to believe
that Justice Hughes holds views SINH
lar to those of Col. Roosevelt, and
there is every reason to believe that
Theodore Roosevelt will declare HIM
self supporter Of Mr.. Hughes and
urge his election by the people"

ORREN WILSON Gets
BEAT-UP in HAARIC
]. p. and Politician SAYS He
Did Not See AssaiIant
in Fight.

Orren Wilson, justice of the peace,
attorney and Republican candidate for
State Senator, last night was severely
cut on the head when attacked under
what he termed mysterious" circum-
stances in a restaurant conducted by
Edward Hartle on South Sprigg street.
Justice Wilson did not see who hit
him, he said, but witnesses informed
him after the affray that Mr.. Hartle,
who had been made a defendant in a
$4,000 damage suit filed by Mr.. Will
son as attorney for Mrs. Francis
Brown, applied the punishment which
was administered to Wilson.
Mr.. Wilson declared that he will lay
the case before Prosecuting Attorney
J. Henry Caruthers tomorrow with
view of seeing the fight through to
finish.
Wilson had entered one of the doors
of the restaurant and was passing
through the crowd to a door opening
on Sprigg street. He had placed his
hands on the door knob, he said, when
he was attacked from the rear.
One of the blows took effect over
his left eye and made q laceration
about an inch long. The second blow
struck him on the right side of the
head over the right ear and resulted
in a cut about two inches long.
AS Hartle was preparing to swing
a third time on the Judges averted
face, his brother, Ode Hartle, leaped
over the counter in the restaurant and
restrained him. He held both his
brothers hands and led him away.
Martin KIages helped support Judge
Wilson, who was stunned by the blows
on the head, and led him outside of
the restaurant.
When HartIe had been taken from
near the doorway, Judge Wilson pro-
ceeded to the Wasem drag store and
was treated by DR.. Paul r. Williams.
81 was going out of the door when
1 was hit" Mr.. Wilson said. 81 had
not had a single word with anyone
inside the restaurant and did not know
that 1 was going to be attacked.
"When / was struck, | turned my
head and asked What is the matter?
What do you mean?'
"There was no reply and someone
grabbed me by the left arm and had
my arm as went on outside. | could
not turn in the doorway and marched
on outside, where | turned around to
look back inside.
81 had my right hand free, but
did not use it. l kept my temper and
feel that l had too much sense to go
back inside to fight. No, / wouldn't
do that.
"Of course it broke the skin a little
where he struck me, but l don't want
you to put that in the paper that way.
Just say was struck. What l deplore
about the fight most is the publicity.
You can Just say that if there is any
one else, though, am at their service,
even if | did not get chance to clinch |
with this man."
The 5000 damage suit filed against |
Mr.. Hartle as result of the death of |
Mrs. Browns husband, who died after |
being injured in an automobile acct
dent at the corner of Good Hope and |
Sprigg streets more than a year ago. |
Mr.. Hartle was in the machine that |
struck Brown.
