DIR. ADAMS BETTER
AFTER OPERATION
Cape Dentist Seeks Relief From
Malady In A Second
Operation.

DR.. S. T. Adams, the well known
Cape Girardeau dentist, having offices
in the neutrality-suspicious. build
ing, is recovering from an operation
performed in st. Louis Monday morn
ing, according to word that was receiv-
ed from st. Louis by Mrs. Adams yes
terday afternoon. -.
DIR. Adams sought relief for an in
testinal trouble in a second operation
within two months. He was operated
upon two months ago for a combina-
ton of appendicitis, gall stones and
another form of intestinal trouble.
He had been Suffering for several
months with intestinal trouble and two
months ago when he went on the OPP
Grating table in St. Johns hospital in
St. Louis, he had his appendix, and
several gall stones removed as well
as an obstruction caused by an adhe-
sion of the lower bowels.
On his recovery and after his return
to the Cape, it was found necessary to
keep an open drain in his side to re-
lieve the gall bladder. 1t was believed
that the wound would gradually close.
The doctor recovered sufficiently to go
to his office, but the wound never was
completely healed.
He went to st. Louis for another ex-
animation by DR.. V. P Blair, one of
the city's most prominent surgeons,
who told him that another operation
would be necessary in order to remove
the trouble by taking out the gall
bladder.
This operation, according to physi-
clans, is a very serious one. DIR.
Adams entered the hospital in st.
Louis last week and had the operation
performed by DR.. Blair Monday morn
ing.
The card that Mrs. Adams received
yesterday was written Wednesday
evening and it stated that the doctor
was regaining his strength fast after
the operation, which he stood well.
1t is anticipated that he will be fore
ed to remain in the hospital for sew
eral days before he is able to return
to the Cape.
The doctor and his wife reside at
343 South Spanish street.

Miss Anna Geldnlacher, a daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. William Geldmacher,
last night spent the first three hours
of their welded life in a stranded au-
tOmobile on the Jackson road.
The couple surprised their friends
late yesterday afternoon by announce
ing they intended to be married. Both
are 81 years old and both have been
working at the shoe factory, where
their acquaintance ripened into ro-
nance. "a
They worked till the closing time at
the shoe factory and then each went
home to prepare for the nuptialS. They
selected Miss Georgia Summers and
Homer Deevers together with Mr.. and
Mrs. John Ross as the first to take into
their secret.
The party then motored to Jackson
last night where they obtained a mar
riage license from Recorder Siemers
and were married by Justice Of the
Peace John Putt.
They then returned to Robert
Knabe's automobile and started back
to the Cape. The car carried the
wedding party till about three and q
half miles from the Cape, where the
engine stalled and refused to work till
Knabe and the other men IN the party
had tinkered with it for three hours.
The couple will reside temporarily
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Ross. In
a few days they expect to go to house
keeping. Mr.. Bacon's parents reside
in New Madrid County, where the ED
er Mr.. Bacon is merchant. The
bridegroom's parents last night had
not been notified of the sons nup-
tials.
