EVERY man should have profound re
gard for public honors. and every district
should have, and does have. favorite
son to be honored. In this respect the
State Capital has always had many indi-
viduals who are not backward in offering
their services for honors Of State or county.
Milford had man in the late DR.. George
w. Marshall, who would have not only
appreciated the great honor Of serving the
people as their Governor, but he would
have discharged the duties with great
credit to the State and his personal honor.
However, death has changed this. and
we suggest and present the name of John
w. Herring of North Milford as man who
would fill the Office of Governor with
credit to the entire people. He is young
man, a man familiar with public affairs,
and man who has the time and inclina
tion for public service. John W. Herring
has never been identified with radical
politics, but he has always been safe,
sure and earnest Republican, who is not
bound mp with public service or other in
terests. The name of John W. Herring
will bring credit to the ticket, and the
stronghold of Republicanism- Milford
in both Kent and Sussex counties, will
be honored. We are presenting the name
Of Mr.. Herring as the thought of many
who have spoken in his favor,
but who have as yet not mentioned their
purpose to him. John w. Herring of Mil
lord would be acceptable to the people
Why not nominate him? {

His Owners Ear
Frank Register, Rag-Man and
Old Bottles Buyer, Says 5
Ears ofCornWere't Enough
for Maud-She Took His,
Too.

Frank Registers mule became avari-
cious last night at feeding time and
after Frank had placed five large ears
of corn in the feed-box, grabbed a
sixth ear.
1t wasn't an ear of corn that Franks
mule grabbed, though, but rather one
of Franks own hearing and listening
machines.
Mr.. Register is a junk dealer, we'll
known in all parts of the Cape. He re-
sides at the Green Tree Hotel and
stables his mule, which draws his junk
wagon about town, at a barn in Smell
terville.
The Junk business was good yester-
day and the mule had been called up
on to haul unusually heavy loads about
the city. The good old product of Mis-
souri's farms did his work uncomplain-
ingly and manifested no dissatisfac-
ton until the stable was reached.
After Frank had thrown in a goodly
portion Of hay and finished the feed
ing business with the five large ears

RAIN And SLEET
Coolest Weather Reported
From Wyoming, Where
1t Was 20 Below.
MONTANA REPORTS
BELOW AT BILLINGS
Mercury Drops so Degrees in
Cape in Thirty-Six Hours
Will be Colder.

After a Sunday that was as warm
and balnly Is spring, the weather re
versed itself yesterday and the mer-
curry dropped to below freezing last
night, after an early blizzard brought
rain and sleet which beat down upon
! the Cape for several hours.
The sleet began falling shortly after
) o'clock last evening and continued
| until about midnight, when the mer-
curry stood at rs above zero, or the
coolest weather since last winter. Sun
day afternoon at 2 o'clock thermome-
tels stood at 70 degrees above zero,
! indicating 4 fall Of about 30 degrees
within &c hours.
The cold wave will be here for scv-
eral days, according to reports from
the East and West. 4 blizzard IS
sweeping over the northern lake region
and 4 general drop liz the temperature
is noted all owe the United States.
A dispatch to The Tribune last night
stated that Sheridan, WyO., reported
20 below zero, which was the coolest
spot on the map. Billings, Mont, held
second place with Il degrees belo@
zero.
The Weather Bureau in Chicago,
which forecasts for this section Of the
country, last night issued storm
warning for the Mississippi Valley,
stretching from the Mississippi River
from its northern cXtrrmities to Flor
ida.
There was freezing temperature in
St. Louis, Chicago and Kansas City

England Coast States. but the change
was not as severe as in the Rocky
Mountain country.
The snow last night was the SecOnc
in Missouri this wear. A LIGHT fell was
reported from several point; in thu
State on October 90, but it fell as
rapidly as it came III contact with the

COAL SHORTAGE
CLOSES CAPE'S
CEMENT PLANT
Price to Small Consumer was
liked to SIS a Ton Here
Yesterday.
COAL-CAR SHORTAGE
is SAID TO BE CAUSE
Cement Workers Will be Idle
Until Coal is Obtained
in Cape.

! Cape Girardeau j.; facing a Goa
! shortage and possibly q coal famine
it became known last night when it
was learned that the cement plant, two
mile south of the city, was forced
to close down overnight on account of
lack Of coal.
The plant has been able to carry a
supply of coal in reserve that would
last but comparatively snort time
and about $50 O'Clock yesterday aft
crno0n the coal supply was exhausted
at the plant.
On account Ct the shortage of coal
for consumers of al classes, the price
yesterday was advanced from 81 to
s. = ton and for the last three weeks
ii has been exceedingly difficult for
the small consumers, as we'll as the
large consumers to obtain delivery of
their orders.
In some cases, small consumers, who
lave placed their orders with the coal
companies several weeks ago, have
been able To get only a portion of their
order filed ard that after several
weeks during which time they virtual
Il begged that they be apportioned
fuel for thcir nome use.
The coal shortage, which is heralded
as being general over the country. is
attributed to the lack of coal cars. The
coal car shortage is 4 feature of the
general car shortage that has obtain
ci III this country for several months
AID steps now are being taken By the
Interstate Commerc" Commission TO
endeavor to relieve the situation by
refusing to allow railroads to tie up
cars that 20 not belong to their own
system.
Several day ago, the cement plant
vas on the verge of shutting down
hecaIsc Of a lack Of coal, when two
cars were brought through the Cape
bound for Jackson. The manager of
the plant succeeded in appropriating
one Of the cars and side-t tracking il to
1o cement WorkS. where it tied the
rlant oyer till I new supply arrived.
When the cement plant closes it
throws several dozen men OUT Of work
temporarily, and should the coal fam
inc grow in magnitude, many men en-
pl0yed in the lumber and stave mills
in South Cape may also be made idle.
The water and light company is well
with fuel to last for several
days.

OR Be PUT IN JAIL

Cape who have declined to pay th(
wagon license of 50 a year that was
levied upon their delivery vehicles last

terday afternoon by City Counselor o.
a. knehans.
More than a dozen milkmcn operate
wagons in the city, and when the
wagon license was levied upon them,
many of them objected to paying the
fee.
In a body they retained an attorney
to fight the license tax, and endeavored
to have that section Of the license or
dinance repealed. The fight has not
come to an issue yet, and knehans yes
terday said several of the milk men
nave paid their license fees in the
meantime.
About six Of them have steadfastly
declined to pay the fec, he said, and
yesterday he told one Of the men that
he will order Chief Hutson 20 make
the arrests next week OF those who
have not paid by that time.
They will be taken into Police Court
where, if they are found guilty either
by the Police Judge or 4 jury, they
will be liable to fine Of not less than
81 and not moro than 500.
Knehans declared that he believes
he can have each of the men fined $50,
half of the maximum. II the cases
are fought to d finish in the higher
courts. test case will be made on one
of the individual cases and the ruling
on that will prevail on all the cases
that may be made in the Police Court.
The milkman with whom Knehans
discussed the license fee yesterday told
knehans when he departed that he will
pay the license under a protest and
It someone else thresh it out in court.

SCIENTISTS PICK
CAPE ROCK FOSSILS
Garry Off $50 Pounds Of Rare
Specimens After Few
Hours Search.

Cape Rock was stamping ground for
fossils Sunday afternoon and yester-
day. Prof. D. X. Gregor. of the de-
partment of geology of the Univer-
sity of Missouri, and F. A. Samson,
photographer of the Missouri Histor-
zeal Society, visited there and carried
away about $50 pounds of various
specimen fossils that will be used in
the scientific laboratories at Column
bia.
Both men are authorities on geology
and the latter Is scientist who is
known probably better in Eastern sci
entific centers and in Europe than he
is right in his home State.
The men gathered the specimens
that they wish to use by picking them
from the face of exposed rocks and by
getting them out of the ground. A
study of the fossils that have gather
ed will reveal the character of the
plant and animal life that prevailed
in this section of the world many hun
dreds of years ago.
Both men departed from the Cape
yesterday afternoon to go to st. Marys
where they will conduct scientific ex-
petitions up both the Little and Big
Saline valleys.
Mr.. Samson recently gave collec-
ton of shells and geological specimens
all valued at $4,000 which it took him
a lifetime to gather together, to the
State. He has had more than score
of things in his line of scientific work
named after him.
