MRS. G. H. GROSS TO
Be BURIED FRIDAY
Wife of Well-known Cape Man
Made Strenuous Fight
For Life.

The funeral of Mrs. Louise Gross,
wife of Gottfried Gross, will be held
Friday afternoon at 1:3O O'Clock. The
ceremony will be held from the Lu-
theran Trinity Church, where Rev.
August Wilder will deliver the funer-
al Grafton. The body will then be taken
to the Lorimier Cemetery for burial.
Mrs. Gross died, as announced in
yesterdays issue of The Tribune, aft
er an illness of several weeks. Death
was due to cerebral meningitis. About
eight weeks ago, Mrs. Gross suffered
nervous breakdown and was con-
fined to her bed for several days. She
rallied, howere, and this buoyed up
the hope that she would soon regain
her normal condition.
About four weeks ago she suffered
a relapse. She grew worse and her
condition soon became critical. For
more than a week before her death
| she was in q state Of Subconsciousness,
and only her strong constitution pro-
longed her life.
Mrs. Gross was born at GordonviIle,
Oct. II, 1878. She was the daughter
of John and Wilhelmina Schmidt, a
very prominent family of Cape Coun-
ty. She received her education in the
Trinity school of Cape Girardeau, and
while attending this school, she made
her home with Mrs. Wilhelmina
Traupe, her grandmother, who is still
living.
After being graduated from this
school and receiving her confirmation,
Mrs. Gross returned to Gordonville,
where she lived until she was married.
She became the bride of Gottfried
Gross, Aug. 10, 1900. One daughter
was born to the couple. In 1905, Mr..
Gross and his family moved to the
Cape, where he established his bust
ness. He went into partnership with
Frank Rub, and since then they have
conducted a saloon on Good Hope
street. The saloon was not opened
yesterday morning and will remain
| closed until after the funeral.
Mrs. Gross is survived by her hus-
band, Gottfried H. Gross; her daugh-
ter, Leone, ID years old; her parents,
her brother, Gus Schmidt, and her sis
ter, Mrs. Clara Bangert. The latter
still lives in Gordonville, while the
other relatives reside in the Cape.

MAYOS FIND CAUSE
OF CHILD PARALYSIS

Rochester, Mimi, Dec. 1.-Scientists
of the Mayo clinic in this city believe
they have discovered the micro-organ-
ism believed to be responsible for the
plague of infantile paralysis, which
killed and crippled 10000 children last
summer.
If the deductions are correct. q vac
cine can probably be developed which
will effect cure for the dreaded dis
ease. The discovery was made by the
Mayo brothers, and if it proves to be
as important as it now indicates, they
will have made another remarkable
contribution to the medical profes-
sion.
AS surgeons the Mayos are not sur
passed in the world. Eminent sur
geons from every land visit the Mayo
institution to consult them and to
watch them in action.

WIZARDS DEFEAT
BROADWAY TEAM
VictOrs Now Within Few Points
Of the Royals, Who Lead
League.

The Wizards won three games last
night from the Broadways in their
regular match played on the Broad
way Bowling Alleys. The triple vic
tory puts the former within a few
notches of the Royals who hold first
place in the bowling league, due to
their double victory over the Ideals
last Tuesday night. The Wizards have
now won 9 and lost 3 games, while
the record of the leaders is won and
l lost.
Only two of the bowlers passed the
500-mark in the three games, they be-
ing Brunke of the Wizards, with SIS,
and Gibbs of the Broadways, who made
4 total of $40. The highest score for
one single game was made by Brunke,
who scored 2O6. The score for the
three games is as follows:

NO HOOP SKIRTS AT
The CEMETERY BALL
Cost Of Wire Will Forbid Con-
struction of Zeppelin Costumes,
Ladies Say.

The active members of the Gene
terry Association will give farewell"
luncheon at the home of Mrs. Louis
Pott Thursday afternoon. The title
of the feast might indicate that the
organization wac disbanding, but it
isn't. 1t merely means that this will
be the last important meeting Of the
present year.
The luncheon will be given at the
expense of the ladies. Each member
who attends will be taxed her proper
ton of the cost of the feast. At this
meeting work for next season will be
outlined, and plans for completing the
fund necessary to provide a pagoda
over the Lorimier graves will also be
discussed.
The date of the Colonial ball, which
will be given sometime this winter,
may be decided upon at the meeting
tomorrow. Only ladies who are 60
years of age or over will be permitted
to actively participate in the dance,
which may be given at the Elks club.
The quadrille, the Virginia reel and
other old-tine steps will be danced
by the ladies'. 1t was announced yes
terday by NJ. J. Koeck, treasurer Of
the Cemetery Association, that the
hoop-skirt feature of the entertain
ment had been dropped.
The Increase in the cost Of wire, as
a result of the war, makes it impos-
sible for the association to construct
any hoop-skirts before peace has been
declared, and an inventory taken few
days ago revealed the fact that there
are not enough hoop-skirts in the gar
rest of the Cape to go around. These
are the reasons why the puff was taken
out of the Colonial ball.

PEACE MOTION is DEFEATED

Rome, Dec. IA motion introduced
in the Chamber of Deputies yesterday
urging peace was defeated by a vote
of 343 to AZ. Those who voted in the
minority were mostly Socialists. Pre-
mier BonselI asked for the rejection
of the motion not, he said, because he
wished the Italian Parliament to vote
against peace in itself, but against an
Italian initiative for peace while the
country was pledged with its allies
not to end the war until victory was at
tanned. ~

FRAUD TALES DON'T
WORRY JEFF HUTSON
Chief Thinks Investigation Will
Swell His Lead Over
Brinkopf.

Chief Of Police Hutson was little
concerned over the contest of his cleo
ton, the notice Of which was served on
the chief Thanksgiving night by his
opponent, Henry Brinkopf. The latter
was defeated by majority of 40 votes,
according to the official count.
Chief Hutson declared that he would
look with the best expectations into
the future, adding that this contest
would do him more good than injury.
He is hopeful that the contest, filed by
his defeated opponent, will swell his
majority. He says he is confident of
taking charge of the sheriff's Office at
the beginning of the year.
In the notice of contest, it is charg
ed that a number Of fraudulent votes
were cast. The precincts of Kloster-
mann, Pecan Grove and Dutchtown are
mentioned as the places in which more
than 100 illegal ballots were cast. The
contest is to be prosecuted by non
partisan committee.
The contest notice charges that the
investigation of this committee found
numerous instances of illegal voting.
1t is said that many voters cast their
vote in Dutchtown and then again in
Cape Girardeau. These votes will be
thrown out, the committee says, and it
is planned to thus show Brinkopf was
elected.
1t is also stated in the notice that 81
absentee votes were not counted, due
to mistakes made by the election
Judges and clerks. These votes also
favor Brinkopf, the committee says.
There were So absentee votes cast in
the entire county, and 81 were reject
ed, because ne ballots did not bear
the names of the judges and clerks as
provided by law.
The investigation of this non-par
tisan committee is said to have re-
vealed the fact that a man who was
not resident of Dutchtown, cast his
ballot, and also that there was the
name of a man on the books who had
moved to another State more than II
years ago.
The unofficial returns of the cleo
ton gave Chief Hutson a majority Of
SO votes over his Republican opponent.
This lead, however, was increased by
the official count and finally reach
ed 40.
The non-partisan committee has en-
ployed Judge Wilson Cramer to wage !
the contest.

MILK IN WINTER

Why do your cows give less milk
in winter than they do in summer?
Just because nature does not supply
them with grasses and green food.
But we have come to the assistance
of Dame Nature with B. A. Thomas
Stock Remedy which contains the very
ingredients that the green feed sup
plies in season, only of course, in a
more highly concentrated form. We
guarantee that this remedy will make
your cows give more milk, and better
milk, with the same feed.

MAD DOG BITES TWO;
GROCE SHOOTS IT
Painter and Girl Attacked by
Animal Before Policeman
Is Summoned.

After attacking q man and little
girl, supposed mad dog was shot and
killed Thursday afternoon by Police
man Groce, who put five bullets
through the animal before it died.
The man who was bitten is William
Hamilton of 319 South Ellis street.
The name of the little girl could not
be ascertained, as she disappeared be-
fore any of the neighbors knew what
had happened. Hamilton was bitten
on the calf of the right leg after his
trousers were torn to shreds.
Hamilton was painting the front
porch of the residence of Joseph
Fperth, $50 South Sprigg street. He
noticed the hound in the yard and
chased it out several times. The last
time the dog sprang at him, froath-
ing at its mouth, and damned his teeth
into the leg of his victim. Hamilton
knocked the dog into the street.
Policeman Groce was called, and
when he arrived the dog had gone back
into Fuerth's yard. The policeman cor
nered the animal in the backyard, after
the neighbors had armed themselves
with clubs and other primitive weap-
ons. He began shooting as the dog
attempted to attack him.
Groce fired five shots at the dog
and every one took effect. The bullets
were fired from a 44-calibre pistol. The
carcass was buried by the policeman
yesterday morning. The brains of the
deg were not examined as is usually
done III such cases to ascertain wheth-
el the animal really was rabid.
The little girl who was bitten was
in the vicinity of Bloomfield and Pacific
street when attacked. She was on her
way 70 a store when Overtaken by the
dog.
