NORMAL QUARRY IS
USED FOR A DUMP
Decomposed Garbage Caused a
Protest Among Residents
of That Section.

Residents living on the extreme
north end of the Boulevard are COM
planning of the odors that have been
coming from the quarry just west OF
the Normal school.
According to the complaints, certain
parties living in that vicinity, have
been using the quarry for a garbage
dump. When the wind is blowing from
the north or northeast, the stencil
from the quarry is carried for blocks
through the residential section Of the
city.
The parties who have been dumping
refuse into the big hole have not been
identified, because thew haul their gar
bage to the quarry after dark.
According to complaints made to The
Tribune, great quantities Of garbage
have been dumped into the hole, where
it remains for days in a state of de-
composition. People living nearby
fear an epidemic Of disease will re-
suit if the practice is long continued.
The compliments stated last night
that no complaint had been made to
Mayor Rage, but they expected to ask
him to give them relief.

Hen Goes to Her
Roost When She
Wants toLayEgg
Has Been "Settins" for Two
Weeks on Her Roost and
Herman Bunch Forecasts
Hen Heart Failure When
Matching Time Comes.

Herman Bunch, we'll known East
Side farmer who lives three miles from
the rivers on the Illinois side, ycstcr-
day afternoon while in the Cape was
accorded the prize for telling the most
unique story of hen heard in the
city for many moons
Bunch has a hen that lays from her
roost. The laying has been sort of
aimless job, because each egg that the
hen has produced has been smashed
on the ground beneath the roost where
it dropped instead of having been
Graded in nest as fresh eggs should
be.
The discovery of the unique manner
in which the hen pefcrred to do her
laying was made when one of Bunch's
sons determined to watch the fowl
after having daily found scramble of
chickens over broken egg in the
hen coop.
He saw the hen, large matron-likC
bird sedately Chamber to the roost and
after patient wait, he witnessed the
destruction of the egg as it fell to the
floor.
The hen, satisfied with her work,
quit the roost cackling and spreading
the news in true hen fashion.
Young Bunch told his father of the
affair, and while they were planning
a way in which to educate the hen to
the use of nest like other hens use,
the bird quit laying and determined
she wanted to set.
She went to her regular berth on
the roost and Mr.. Bunch yesterday de-
clared that for two weeks his hen has
been doing job of setting on her
roOst.
He is at a loss to know how he is
going to keep her from dying of 4
broken heart when she finds her three
weeks work has been wasted.

The great sale at Nussoaum's which
has been the talk of the town and the
entire county, and continues to be the
talk Of the day-in restaurants, at
lunches, at home, everywhere. Where

versing the theme is sure to be "The
Closing Out Sale at Nussbaum's." But
after all it should not be provocative
OF surprise that this sale should meet
with such cordial reception. Original,
unique and glowingly termed adver-
tlsements had for days ahead appraised
the public for miles around of this
commercial transaction and it must be
conceded that never before in the his
tory of Cape Girardeau County or any
other part Of Missouri for that mat
ter, has anything been advertised more
lntelligently and systematically; and
the people have testified to the yaIue
OF this character of advertising with
the most surprising results. On Sat
urday the store could hardly accommo-
date the vast crowds of people that
poured into Cape Girardeau, while the
country roads presented a veritable
procession of vehicles-all coming to

counties are well represented. The
crowd was truly cosmopolitan. Many
people coming from the country and
equally as many from our large and
competitive towns, Jackson, Sikeston,

not been in Cape Girardeau for years.

COUPLE, SEPARATED
THREE YEARS, ELOPE
Musician Finds Girl of His Heart
on Boat-Go to Cairo
to Wed.

When Miss Ruth Ross of Thebes,
ILL.,, and George Pistorius, of St. Louis,
viOlinist on the Str. Cape Girardeau,
yesterday eloped to Cairo to be mar
ried, a romance that started three
years ago in Minneapolis, Mimi, and
was lighted by their separation, was
happily eliminated.
The couples recognition occurred on
the boat several days ago when Miss
Ross was dancing to music that her
former sweetheart was coaxing from
his violin in the orchestra of the boat.
Since his separation from the girl
that he had planned to marry in the
North, young PistoriuS had carried her
photograph with him and the image
OF her face was daily freshened in his
mind. He felt sure of, his recognition
of his former sweetheart.
On that day as the dancing stopped,
he gained the services of companion
player to approach the girl to ask her
if her name was Gross"
The young woman replied in the af-
firmative to the query, whereupon Pts
torius introduced himself. When he
began talking to the girl, he became
surer than ever of the truth of his con-
viction.
He endeavorcd to get the girl to
reco!lect him, but she declared she
never had known him before. He piled
her with questions relating to circum-
stances that happened in Minneapolis.
To many.of these she gave the correct
replies and as his last card to induce
the girl to remember" him, he pro-
duced her photograph.
Miss Ross. glanced at the photo then
opened her vanity case and glanced at
her own features. They were virtually
identical. Yet she, maintained her po-
sition that it must be some other girl
that Pistorius had promised to marry.
The couple arranged to meet each
other on Pistorius' next trip down the
river and yesterday afternoon they
met in the Cape. She came to the
Cape to await him on his boat. She
went with him to Thebes and in the
afternoon they determined that wheth-
er or not she was the original girl,
they would carry out the promise and
be married at nightfall on their re-
turn to the Cape.
When they arrived at Thebes, how
ever, young Pistorius looked at his
prospective bride, remembered that he
had lost her once before and WANDERED.
three years before he found her again.
"Are you game?" he asked. We'll
catch a train here to Cairo and have
it over"
"Yes~ was the girls answer.
Goodbye, Captain Leyhe," Pistori-
US shouted to his chief. 'I'll see you
in st. Louis"
They made thpir way to Cairo where
word was received they were married.

mrs.. H. DORIS Will
RETURN Home TODAY
Judge Doris Was Buried at
Paducah. Ky, After Death
Saturday

Mrs. James H. Doris is expected to
arrive home in the Cape today fol-
lowing the funeral of her husband,
Judge j. H. Doris, who died last Sat
urday morning in Paducah, KY, and
was buried there Sunday. Judge Doris,
who was prominent in Cape County
politics for the last eight years, died
after an illness of several months with
Bright's disease.
He served one term as prosecuting
attorney, and last winter his name
was mentioned prominently for the
Republican nomination for Judge of
the Common Pleas Court.
He went to Dawson Springs, KY,
several weeks ago from his home in
the Cape to take the baths there for
his health. He was dissatisfied with
the treatment and started home. He
stopped in Paducah to visit at the
home of one of his sons, George Doris.
He became seriously i'll there anc
last week Mrs Doris was summoned to
her husbands bedside. He died Satur-
day at his sons home.
Judge Doris is survived by his wife
and five sons who are: Seth and Hous-
ton, of Springfield, Mo-; NJ. L. Doris,
of Eminence, Mo-; George Doris, of
Paducah, and Rosco, who is in the U.
S. army, stationed at Honolulu.
Judge Doris was native Kcntuck-
ian, and he came to Missouri when a
young man. He first settled at Emil
nence and later at WinOna, Shannon
County, where he was head of the
Boa"l of Education and later mayor of
the town. He came TO the Cape in
1908 from WinOna and by 1910 had
grown sufficiently strong politically to
be elected prosecuting attorney.

REV. MURTAUCH In
NORTHERN HOSPITAL
Well Known Cape Girardeau
Priest Taken to Milwaukee
For Treatment.

Father James A. Muratugh, of st.
Vincent's College, who has been i'll for
several months, was taken to Milwau-
kee Wednesday, where he entered st.
Mary's Hospital, and where he will re-
main during the warm summer
months.
Father Murtaugh was accompanied
to Milwaukee by Father Walsh of St.
Vincent's College. He had several Sc
rious attacks from his heart while en-
route, but was feeling much improved
when Father Walsh left him to return
to the Cape.
Father Murtaugh has been compelled
to give up active work for the past six
months, owing to his decline in health.
He is suffering from hardening of the
arteries, and a slight organic heart
ailment.
He is known as one of the best pull
pit orators in Southeast Missouri, and
has been active in the commercial as
well as the religious growth of this
part OF the state. As a public speaker
he has been much in demand.
Although appearing to be much old
er, he is only 81 years of age, but his
life has been devoted to hard work.
He has been treated for his ailment
for months, but his physician, believ
ing that this climate was not benef-
cial to the priest, urged him to enter
the hospital in Milwaukee. He has
been in the St. Francis Hospital in this
city at intervals since early spring,
but his condition has not improved.
The hospital in which he is pa
tient is located on the lake, and this
admirable condition, coupled with
other advantages, it is believed, will
result in the early restoration of his
health.

Array OF Bargains Exceed All Previous Attempts

small to accommodate even a small
portion of the anxious and impatient
bargain seekers. And in this manner
the great sale continues and is still
keeping up. 1t has been in progress
now only four days but the people are
fiocking there with undiminished en-
thusiasm, laying in a supply of furni-
ture, dry goods and other useful ar
ticles for a whole lifetime, it seems.
They are enthused, nay excited, over
the great slaughter of goods and the
sale which has been advertised to be of
nineteen days duration, will at the
rate the stock is going exhaust its sup
ply long before that time. With the
NuSsbaum reputation this truly phe-
nomenal sale was made possible and
(when we say it we mean every bust
ness man in Cape Girardeau) it has
helped the entire city wonderfully.
Never was business so brisk, not in
years Cat this season. has Cape Cir
ardeau seen such activity. In every
branch of business people were over
run, while complaints from neighbor-
ing towns show that business is just
as dull there as it was before the
opening of the sale. And truly no
terms can be used strong enough to
express the cleverness and complete
success with which the Closing Out
Sale has been engineered. The credit
must be given the untiring efforts and
faithful services of the large force of
salespeople who have been employed to
accommodate the public and which con-
sists of our best known and most re-
spected ladies and gentlemen. The
sale closes Saturday, August ).
