DID The GROUND HOG
SEE HIS shadow.
Cape Weather Experts Thing we
May Evade Long Winter on
Technicatity.

Cape Girardeauans who look to the
grounding for authoritative informa-
ton concerning the arrival of spring,
are wondering what the underground
weather prophet thought of yesterday.
People are not quite certain that the
grounding saw his shadow yesterday,
although the sun shone brightly after
noon. The point of discussion is, did
he remain out of his hole all day?
If he did, of course, there will be six
more weeks of winter. But if he SIM
ply crawled out at the break of day,
looked around for his shadow and
then moseyed back again, it looks
pretty rosey for an early spring.
1t has been number of years
since grounding day brought forth the
weather that Cape Girardeauans had
yesterday. Therefore, few remem-
Der what happens when the first half
of the day is cloudy and the afternoon
is bright and clear
1t is said by old timers that the
grounding goes into his winter quar-
tiers as soon as frost comes and does
not emerge until Februar.: 2. When
he comes out to look for his SHADOW,
some people say, he only looks around
and then hurries into his hole. If this
contention is true. he didn't see hi
shadow yesterday.
But doubling Thomasa@. and they
are always on hand. say that the whole
day must be cloudy to insure an earl.

that eggs will continue to be kept IL

OF His Career.

Funeral services for Manuel A.
Scott, veteran and dean of Cape hotel
and restaurant keepers, who died sud
denly Monday afternoon, will be held
this morning. The body will be re-
moved from his home on Main street

services will be held there by Rev. NJ.
Smith.
The Masonic lodge, Of which he was
a member, will be in charge of the

Paramount cemetery.
The death of Scott, or Old Man
Scott, as he was known throughout
Southeast Missouri, marks the passing
of one of the Cape's characters of the
old school, whose glory was in a day
before paved streets and all modern
appliances invaded the city.
Scott was to the Cape what Tony
Faust was to st. Louis. His reStau-
rant in the olden days was known to
everyone within miles of this place, as
the only table where a man could get
a real square meal.
When he ran the Aquamsi Hotel and
the cafe attached, Scott's table was
patronized by some of the most illus
trious men who came to the city and
many men WHO acquired fame here,
were SCOTS regular boarders.
For many months prior to his death,
Colonel Sturdivant, founder of the
Sturdiyant bank, was a regular" at
SCOTS table, and in the long roll of
names whom the restauranteur has
served, stands that of Louis Houck,
who often dined there with his
friends.
Scott was d typical Southern negro.

MISS BECKMAN WILL
We'd DR.. ATKINSON
Teacher Met Him When He Was
Selling Cookhooks to Get
Tuition.

Following Miss Pauline Becknlan's
resignation from the Jefferson School
faculty, it became known in the Cape
yesterday that she will be married this
spring TO Dr.. Paul Atkinson, whom she
met two years ago last summer when,
as college student earning expense
money, he sold her cook book and a
magazine.
Miss Bcckman made the announce
ment of her engagement, it is said, to
members of her family at Christmas
dinner. The secret has been well
Kept and it was not until recently that
many of her friends in the Cape learn
ed OF the engagement.
The date for the wedding has not
been learned, but it is believed it will
be carly in June or the last of May.
DR.. Atkinson now is finishing his
medical education in 9 large hospital
in tic North and will not be at liberty
to claim his bride till the spring.
Miss Beckman is a graduate of the
Norma! School and for three or years
was teacher at the Jefferson School.
Her resignation was received by the
Board of Education last Friday night
and accepted. Miss Bcckman resides
with her parents at 10 South Sprigg
street. She is a sister-in-law of H.
A. Nussbaum.
DR.. Atkinson came to the Cape two
years ago last summer to make can
vass Of the town selling his cook book
together with magazine subscription.
When he applied at the Beckman resi-
dence, it was one Of the first prospects
he visited.
The profits he gained from the sale
Of the books, he explained, paid his
medical college expenses. Miss Beck
man became convinced she needed the
cook book and as the student talked to
persuade his prospect she needed it, he
became convinced he would live to see
the day VIXEN she should use it in a
kitchen provided by his own hand.
He remained in the Cape all that
summer selling cook books in many
other homes, and meantime pursued
his courtship at the Beckman resi-
dence. He has finished the college
course and has been employed as a
doctor in the hospital where he is sta
tened this winter.

VETERAN SEEKS HIS
WARRIOR COMRADES
Writes Letter To Judge Willer
Asking About 29th Mo.
Regiment.

Judge w. H. Willer, yesterday after
noon replied to letter from Civil
War veteran, who wrote to the Judge
asking him for information concerning
his army comrades with whom he had
fought and been imprisoned, the men,
bers of the Twenty-ninth Missouri In
fantry, which was stationed in the
Cape at the outbreak Of the war and
which had on its rolls, many Cape men
Of prominence.
At the time the regiment was sta
tened in the Cape, Judge Willcr was
but 4 boy, but yesterday he told Of
many Of the faces that appeared in the
ranks of the military organization.
81 couldn't tell him about any of his
comrades the Judge said, because
all that / ever knew Of them are
dead"
The Judge, however, referred the
veteran to z. c. Cooter, of SIS South
Middle street, former Government pen
sion agent in the Cape, who once had
knowledge Of each veteran in the city
and vicinity.
The letter was written to the Judge
by a man named William Huston,
whom the Judge declared he did not
remember. The letter follows:
"Marionvillc, Mo-, Jan. 29.-Hon. w.
H. Willer: l am wanting some infor
nation in regard to my army COM
radcs and Mr.. Dug Turentine of this
city, cited me to You, stating that he
felt sure that you would do what you
can for nc. Can you send to ME the
names of any members of Company
G. Twenty-ninth Missouri Infantry, or
any men of that regiment that was in
prison at Jackson, Miss, will greatly
appreciate this favor. Very respect
fully yours, William Huston"
When the war began, the regiment
here was sent to Victsburg and it
served in many other important battles
in the western fighting Of the Civil
Var. 1t was at Pittsburgh Landing
and Shiloh and many of the men from
The Cape were killed in action, while
others were wounded and managed to
reach home.
Judge Willer told Of some of the
men who were in the regiment that
he remembered. l.. F. Klostermann
was lieutenant in one of the COM
paines; =. X. O'Brian was a captain;
Gus Schliecker was q member; Henry
g. JUST was in the regiment and died
on the battlefield after he had been Sc
vcrely wounded in action, August Bier
wirth was a lieutenant; Henry Mel
son, a schoolmate of Judge Wililer's
was in the regiment and he died in ac-
ton; Henry Voss survived the war but
has been dead for some time.
Charels O'Brian, who lived in the
immediate neighborhood where the
Willer home now stands, went away
with the regiment and Herman Bader
was lieutenant.
Lieutenant kloStermann told how he
was wounded in an engagement and
how purse we'll lined with silver dol
lars saved his life. The bullet struck
him in the groin and hit his pocket
book. The coins in the pocketbook
turned the lead missile and were the
means of saving his life. His wound
"a it was, was not serious. Lieut..
K!cstcrmann afterwards became one
or Southeast MiSsOU"i's most infiuen-
tial men.
