DYNAMITE TAKES
2OF BOYS FINGERS
NegroLad, 8 Years Old, ExplOdes
Cap With Stick-Face
Badly Cut.

Nine-year-old James Grove, son of
q negro workman at Hely's quarry by
the name of Connors, lost the thumb
and index finger of his right hand and
suffered severe decorations on the left
hand and on his face, when a dynamite
cap with which he was playing ex-
ploded about 5 o'clock Sunday after
noon.
The boy struck the cap with a small
stick of wood, causing the dynamite
to explode. He had been playing in
the quarry grounds with some COM
panions Sunday afternoon when he
picked up the dynamite cap, which
evidently had been dropped by work
men blasting the rocks nearby. He
examined the cap and asked one of
his playmates if they knew what the
object was and on receiving a mega
tive reply, the lad declared that he
would split it open and find out.
He placed the cap on a rock and
proceeded to pound on it with a stick
of wood. The conclusion exploded the
dynamite inside. The boy was thrown
TO the ground by the force of the ex-
plosion, and when picked up by his
companions he was bleeding freely
from the wounds where bits of the
wooden club and rock had cut his face
and torn his hands.
The thumb and index finger of his
right hand were severed and the
middle finger as well as the flesh all
over his right hand were badly cut.
The middle finger on his left hand
was nearly blown off and the hand
was considerably bruised up. The
worst laceration on his face was a
large cash across the nose.
The physician in charge of the boy,
who is still at his parents home near
the quarry, said that his condition was
critical.

7 "A. WIBBENMEYER
Will Wed IN MAY
Emma Donnelly Will be Young
Insurance Agents Bride
After Easter.

That T. Albert Wibbenmeyer, well
known insurance agent and business
partner of Captain Harry w. Bridges.
and Miss Emma Donnelly will be mar
ried during the first week of Nav
became known yesterday to their most
intimate friends.
The couple had planned to have the
marriage performed very quietly and
without having any formal announce
ment of the wedding made by the
family, and to that end they had been
making their arrangements for sew
eral days.
The announcement will be made
from the pulpit CT st. Mary's church
after Easter and the wedding will be
the latter part of the first week in
May. They have not yet determined
upon a honeymoon trip.
They already have arranged for
home and will occupy the house at
$50 Bloomfield street, formerly the
home of the Bierschwal family. The
house is now being furnished.
Mr.. Wibbenmeyer came to the Cape
about five years ago with his parents
from a farm near Appleton. After
his arrival here he began studying at
the Cape Business College and was
graduated from that institution. He
engaged in the insurance business with
Captain Bridges about three years
ago and for a long time was located
on lower Broadway. Last winter the
firm moved their offices into the Him
melberger- Harrison building on the
second floor.
Miss Donnelly is well known in the
Cape She is daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. T. Donnelly of 334 Morgan
Oak street. Her father is a train dis
patcher for the Frisco at Chaffee.
Miss Donnelly was graduated from St.
Vincent's academy about three years
ago and has also attended the Normal
School.

LINCOLN SCHOOL
WASDAMACED $4,000
Board Will Reopen Temporarily
and ReVamp Rooms This
Summer.

President J. w. Phillips of the Board
of Education, last night announced
that following an examination of the
Lincoln school building, the interior OF
which burned Thursday night, the
damage will approximate $4,000. He
stated that temporary arrangements
will be made at once for re-opening
the school.
The fire insurance adiusters are ex-
pected to arrive in the Cape in a short
time TO make an examination of the
building and adjust the insurance.
Immediately after the settlement is
made with the insurance company, the
school will be repaired to some extent
so that classes may be held in the
rooms until the end of the term, Mr..
Phillips stated At the close of the
school year the entire building will be
revamped throughout.
Practically every room inside the
building was damaged by the fire, the
inspection showed. The fire burned
out the halls and rear staircase COM
pletely. The floors and doors along
both the halls were charred, and
the fire did not burn through
the doors into the class rooms, the
smoke penetrated the rooms and de-
strOyed the plaster, so that the entire
building will have to be re-plastered
This will cost the board at least $500
alone, Mr.. Phillips said. The remain
der of the repair work will take the
rest of the $4,000, members of the
board estimate.
The changes in the building will be
in time for the opening of
the school in the fall. An effort will
be made to introduce all modern fire
prevention features in the reconstruc-
ton of the building.
Mr.. Phillips last night declared that
the members of the board still are in
clined to belief that the fire originated
within the building on the first floor
corridor.

KACE TURNS DOWN
WOMAN COP idea
Thinks Uniformed Lady Would
Not be Worth the
Money.

A proposal for a police woman and
health officer, combined, for the Cape
was turned down yesterday morning
by the city Board of Health at its
meeting in the court house, when 4
delegation of club women asked Mayor
Rage and the board members for their
approval of the measure.
The Mayor announced that he is
opposed to the project and told the
women who appeared before the Board
of Health, where he stood.
The Mayor, who is ex-officio chair
man of the board, likewise advised the
women to pat their proposition for 4
police woman into a concrete form and
present it to the City Council for
action in the guise of a petition, if
they wish to get the matter before
the authorities for action.
The women who appeared before the
board to take up the matter of a
police woman were Mrs. John H. Him
melberger and Mrs. w. H. Harvey,
who represented the Civic Improve
ment Association.
At a meeting several weeks ago the
women of the Civic Improvement As
ISOLATION adopted a resolution approx
ing the police woman idea and the
association determined to secure the
approval of as many other women's
organizations as possible before TAX
ing the matter up with the city auth
critics seeking to obtain the Inaugural
ton Of the new officer.
Mrs. Himmelberger and Mrs. Har-
vey declared they did not wish to
make their petition in a formal way,
but desired to learn what will be the
attitude of the Board of Health to-
ward their proposal.
Mayor Rage declared that as mayor
and from financial standpoint he is
against the inauguration of the new
office. The city cannot afford to
create the position, he said, because of
a necessity to retrench.
In addition to that, the Mayor de-
clared, he is opposed to the police
woman idea because he thinks that it
would not be worth while or the money
spent. He said he does not believe a
woman health officer would be able to
do as good work as a man ard for
that reason he does not want the city
to experiment with it.
Following the discussion of the
police woman proposition, Mrs. L. J.
Pott and Mrs. Arthur Uhl appeared
before the Board Of Health to report
some localities in the city that need

fire HOSE READY
TO GO TO PIECES
Mayor Says if Bond Issue Fails,
City Will be Without
Protection.

The fire hose is becoming so delapi-
dated that Mayor Rage is afraid it
will not last until the city has time
enough to vote on the bond issue for
4 new fire equipment and then have it
installed. During the past six weeks
the fire department has been unusually
busy, and the hose has almost gone
to pieces.
The city is not financially able to
replenish the hose, the Mayor an
nounced, until the new bond issue is
passed. However, when the new
equipment has been installed. Cape
Girardeau will have as modern fire
fighting facilities as any city in
Missouri.
Mayor Rage yesterday explained
the reason why the city intended to
buy one heavy fire truck and one light
fire automobile. The mayor was adj
vised to purchase the two machines
by the fire chiefs in st. Louis.
"The fire chief at University City,
a suburb of St. Louis" said Mr.. Rage,
uses the heavy and light truck. He
told me the light truck was the only
apparatus that would go through mud.
While the fremen in University City
are required to go to fires within 4
radius of only three miles, the fire
chief informed me that they went into
the country for a distance Of from
20 to % miles. Whenever an alarm is
sounded from farm house, the fire
chief said he hurried to the scene.
"The fire trucI, has one great adj
vantage in combating fires in the
country. The truck backs up to 4 well
or pond and there get the water it
needs. These devices DO not have to
depend upon the city water for pres
sure. These fire trucks can throw a
stream Just as strong from an old
well as they can from a city fireplug.
and that is one of the most important
advantages. The trucks we have
planned to buy can send water from
a pond over the highest building in
this city. Lack of pressure has al
ways been our chief handicap"

The heavy freeze Saturday night
did not seriously injure the fruit crop,
Prof. L. R. Johnson, the well-knOwn
horticulturist ut the Normal School,
announced yesterday.

tive examination of the fruit trees on
his farm and adjacent lands Sunday
and yesterday.

ton, and ! examined quite a few of
them before l concluded my investiga-
ton. The plum buds, which are quick
to show damage from frost, were
given a close scrutiny, but they too
were uninjured.
"The pear blossoms showed no i'll
effect of the wintry weather. But |

had been killed. | examined at least
two dozen others, but was unable to
detect the slightest defect.

day, | felt almost certain that the
fruit had been killed. | can only ac-
count for its safety through the fact
that We have had no very warm
weather. The buds have developed
under rather difficult weather cOndi-
lions. 1t has been proved to be fact
that heavy frost or freeze that fol-
lows a general cold spell does not do
as much damage as when it comes
after a few warm days.
"Our prospects are excellent for g
splendid crop of all varieties Of fruit,
and especially the peach. The abnor-
nal feature about the outlook this
season is that it is the fourth success
sive year that we have had a good
peach crop. Two years in succession
Of peaches is about as much as we
ever get. The third is unusual and
the fourth is almost a record.
IF we do not experience 4 killing
frost yet, l believe we will have 4
great yield this summer. Even the
smallest trees are laden with blooms,
and from an investigation | find that
nearly every bud is shielding hidden
peach"
There was a general inspection of
fruit trees and vines Sunday and yes
terday, and no one reported any dam
age. A farmer living a few miles
from the Cape, advanced the theory
yesterday that the fruit was saved by
the moist condition of the earth. This
absorbed the frost and the bud es-
capped, according to his theory.
