OCTOGENARIANS
BIRTHDAYS TODAY
Mrs. Johanna Cleve Is 81 and
Mrs. WiIheImina Elbreckt
Is 80.

One of Jackson's oldest residents,
Mrs. Johanna Cleve, the mother of
Fred and August Covert of the Cape,
today will celebrate her ighty-seventh
birthday when large number of her
jackson friends and relatives plan to
stage surprise party for her.
Mrs. Celve bellies her age. She has
the activity, the perspicacity, and the
wit of a woman p years her junior,
and TO prove that she is growing con-
stantly younger, she does her own
housework at her little home in Jack
son, resides alone and raises much of
the vegetables for her table in a gar
den which she cultivates with her ex-
perienced hand.
Her figure is erect as she busies her
self about her home, and she finds time
in addition to her daily routine work,
for knitting and reading.
She was born in Germany and came
to America when she was 10 years old
The voyage across the Atlantic con-
sumed several weeks.
She has but the two sons, who re-
side in the Cape, and two grandchil-
dren, Clinton and Helen Covert of the
Cape. When Fred Covert removed his
residence from Jackson to the Cape,
Mrs. Cleve accompanied the family and
for some time resided at the Covert
home here. However, she became
homesick for her Jackson surroundings
and moved back to her former home.
/. Simultaneous with the birthday of
Mrs. Cleve is that of Mrs. Wilhelmina
Elbrecht of FrOhna, who will be so
years old today. Mrs. Elbrecht is the
eldest of line of four generations.
She is the mother of Mrs. Annie
Wiltecke and Fred EIbrecht of Jack
son. While visiting with relatives in
Jackson year ago, she fell and suf-
fered an injury to her hip.
In spite of her advanced age, She
has completely recovered. For 20
years she lived in Jackson and recent
~ she has been living with a son in
Frohna. Those who make up the four
generations in the family are: Mrs.
Elbrecht, first; Mrs. Wiltecke, her
daughter. second; Mrs. Matte Milde,
her granddaughter, third, and Helen
Milde, her great-grarddaughter, the
latter three of whom live in Jackson.

and to accommodate any out-of-town
visitors, DIR. Schuchert tonight will
start the concert at 7:30 o'clock. The
initial concert was started at s o'clock
and it was after 8 o'clock before it
was concluded.
Two of the selections that will be a
part of the program tonight will be
played by request. The program as
announcedwill indulge the Cape peo-
pie in a treat of operate music, but
for the most part, all of the music Sc
lected is easily understandable.
The program will be as follows:
Coronation March from ''The Proph.
et," by Meyerbeer; Overture to evil
liam Tell" by Rossini; "Humorske,'
by Dvorak, by request; selection from
Faust" by Gounod, by request. anc

The Wilson Gardner Democratic
Club will hold a meeting Friday night
in the local headquarters to make final
arrangements for the Democratic rally
to be held in this city Tuesday, Octo-
Der II, at which William J. Bryan will
be the principal orator.
There is some opposition to the bar
becue feature of the rally, and it may
be that those in charge of the meeting
will decide to call it off Friday even
ing.
Harry f. Alexander opposes the bar
becue for two reasons: First, it re-
quires unnecessary trouble, and sec
ond, it keeps many visitors from
patrOnizing the hotels and restaurants.
The barbecue held last October when
the Democrats met here cost more
than $1,000. Many of the Democrats
do not believe the barbecue feature at

auto PAUSES AT TOP

Fred Groves and Doc Edwards
Rescue Car From Cliff on
Bellevue Heights.

What Cape automobile men yester-
day pronounced as one Of the narrow
est escapes for a cars plunge over
high cliff ever chronicled here, occur
red when the machine of a tourist,
whose name was not learned, backed
from Bellevue street opposite the home
of ]. G. Reynolds.
The machine when it was finally res
cued was virtually hanging on six
inches of dirt over the pit that lies at
the extreme end of Spanish street,
overlooking the horse and mule barn,
of Mayor Rage and Allen Kimmel The
drop is estimated at 30 or so feet.
The car was occupied by two women
as it started over the embankmene.
They suffered from nervous shock aft
er they had been assisted from their
places in the rear seat of the machine.
g., Both Fred A. Groves and o. G. Ed
wards were summoned with their ma
chimes to haul the balanced machine
from its precarious position, but they
were afraid to hitch their machines to
the balanced car, for fear that the mo-
ment the wrecked machine was moved,
it would topple over the cluff carrying
with it, the rescue machine.
The situation finally was solved
when Groves got large gang of men
to tug on a rope and the car was haul
ed out of danger.
The driver of the machine explained
to Groves that his machine backed
over the edge of the cluff while he was
endeavOring to get his engine warm
ed up. He had stopped his machine on
Bellevue street opposite the Reynolds
home and when he endeavored to start
the engine, he found that it was stiff
in tn joints and would not work.
He declared that he made an altera-
ton in the position of the steering
mechanism so that the car could back
down hill, believing that it would get
the engine started. He was out Of
the car when it started on its rampage
and west over the side of the cliff.
The rear end of the car struck on a
sort of terrace a few feet lower than
the street level, and had the car moved
six inches more it would have contin-
ued on its way down the face of the
cliff.
The members of the party after Mr..
Groves gang of men had hauled them
out, proceeded downtown, and late in
the afternoon crossed on the ferry boat
for Illinois.

CLYDE HUNT Held
FOR DRAWING GUN
Bloomfield Man Attempts to
Shoot Stanley Hollenbeck
OF limo.

Clyde Hunt of Bloomfield, who has a
concession at the County Fair, was ar
rested on Main street~last night after
he had pointed a revolver at Stanley
Hollenbeck, a druggist of limo. He
was prevented from firing the revolver
by spectators, who seized Hunt and
overpowered him.
The origin of the trouble between
the two men could not be learned, but
they engaged in d quarrel, during
which Hunt drew his gun. Patrolman
Whitener, who was walking south on
Main street, a block from the st. Char
les Hotel, where the quarrel was in
progress, saw the crowd and hurried
to the scene.
When he arrived, the men had been
separated, but Hunt was still holding
his revolver.
One version OF the quarrel was told
to The Tribune by spectator, who
was walking a short distance behind
the two men when the quarrel started.
He said that Hollenbeck accidentally
bumped into Hunt as he attempted to
pass. Hunt denounced Hollenbeck. ac-
cording to the spectator, and during
the argument, Hunt drew his revolver
and pointed it at the Illmo druggist.
Before he could pull the trigger,
friends who were with Hunt, grabbed
his arm and then overpowered him.
Hollenbeck made no effort to attack
his antagonist. Hollenbeck was not ar
rested, but was ordered by Patrolman
Whiteper to appear before Judge Viii
Ter at 10 o'clock this morning as a wit
ness against Hunt.

Visitor Finds
.HonestC Car Man,
Slips Him Tip
Unusual Honor is Conferred
On P atrick Whalen By
Stranger Here at the Fair
Price of Drink is Reward.

Pat Whalen, the only Irishman in
the employ of the Cape Girardeau
street car company, was pronounced
the only honest street car collector not
extinct by a visitor to the fair last
week. Mr.. Whalen informed his
friends yesterday that bis honor had
been bestowed upon him.
1t all happened like this: A stranger
boarded his car on Broadway, and aft
er asking the cost of transportation to
the Fairgrounds, suggested that Wha-
len keep the money instead of drop
ping it in the slot.
"You know, young man, that this
company now has more money than it
can spend" said the visitor. "If
were you l would just drop that nickel
in your pocket instead of that slot"
"Oh, no, pardner," replied Whalen.
"You know the company pays me
salary for keeping the nickels drop
ping into that slot. l may never be
a Fierpont Morgan running this bug
gy, hut Tn paid to put the money
where it belongs"
"Well, by gosh," chortled the pas
senger. Il want to shake your right
wing. You are the only honest street
car man in the world. Slip me your
mitr
They shook hands warmly, and then
the visitor gasped: "Take this and
buy yourself drink" and he eased
three nicllcls right into Patrick's left
palm.
"That's the price of right smart
of liquor" remarked the street car
motorman, smacking his lips as the
car bowled past building bearing the
name of a Cape Girardeauan who
breaks drouths while you wait.
When the man climbed off the car at
the entrance to the Fairgrounds, he
slapped Mr.. Whalen on the back and
again remarked: "Boy, you ought to
be preserved, because you are rare
speciman."
"You reckon honest men are as
scarce as he things they are?" Whalen
asked another passenger who had
heard the conversation. "If So" re-
piled the passenger, "Diogenes ought
to get out with that lantern again"
Patrick admitted the remarks made
him feel like it pays to be honest, even
if it sometimes causes poverty.
