SCHULZ ANNOYER
THOUGHT INSANE
Woman Suspected of Writing
Threats Has Pestered
Surgeon.

UCiltNt licll tliC Siuliioi
Of the letter, offering. reward for the
assassination of Mrs. G. B. SCHULZ,
wife of the Cape Girardeau surgeon, is
of unsound mind. Deputy Sheriff
Gober of Scott County, who has the
threatening letters in his possession,
has been informed that a woman, be-
lieved to be the author of the mis-
sives, has pestered the surgeon at in
tervals over several years. She i'm
agines that DR.. Schulz is indebted to
her it is said, and while suffering from
these Authorizations, she would write
letters to DR.. Schulz.
There were two letters written to
Ora Niswonger of Oran. A cousin
received the letters in his mail, it is
said, and opened them by mistake.
When he discovered their contents, he
turned them over to Deputy Sheriff
Gober, who communicated with DIR.
Schulz, and then presented the letters
to the Federal authorities, who also
are assisting Deputy Gober to locate
the author.
DR.. Schulz, believing that they were
written by woman Of unsound mind,
who had annoyed him for several
years, told the authorities that he be-
lieved she had written the letters. This
tip is now being investigated. One of
the letters, follows:
Mr.. Ora Niswonger,
Delta, No.
Dear Sir: | am writing to urge YOU
to not hesitate and to tell you another
way in which to do the work.
This may be the safest way to do
this: If you can drive car or have a
friend you can trust you could be out
driving some time when you think you
vii rect them. Have The number on
the car covered some way OF course
it's best to be in the country. Wear
false nlustache and goggles; wear
a different hat; be prepared when
you pass them in country to shoot
her. Drive rapidly, then when you get
out of sight uncover the number,
change hats, take off mustache and
drive as if nothing had happened but
fast as possible, of course. Remem-
Der that pay you the S27OO. | thought
| would get to do this myself this
week but have been unable to get away
from my friend for any length of
time.
L suppose you received, read and
burned the other letter | sent YOU.
Get to know DR.. Schulz and his wife
IN some way and then plan in some
way to kill his wife and l will pay you
5000 cash. l can't pay any more than
that but will pay every bit of that.
It will be necessary for me to leave
Cape Girardeau this week. | wanted
to stay here and help you escape and
see her, but must go home this week.
They live at 101 North Fredericl,
street; their phone number is $40.
My health is failing me; l work no
longer. l hope you will trust me and
allow me to trust you.
Please help me in this matter. Wish
ing you success, | am,
DR.. Whitaker.
Whitaker is my last and unused
name).

Manasseh Cutler. the founder of the

tains an account of dinner ut the
White House given by President JEFF

Ter and six members Of the house We're
invited.
Mr. Cutler wrote that there was 'rice

ham. loin of veal, outlets OF mutton OF
veal, fried eggs. fried beef, pie called
macaroni. which appears to be a rich
crust filled with stri!!ions Of onions or
shallots. which took it to be; tasted
very strong and not agreeable.
"Mr. Lewis told me there were no
onions in It; 1t was an Italian dish. and
what appeared like onions was made
of flour and butter with particularly
strong liquor mixed with them. Ice
cream, very good; crust wholly dried,
crumbled into thin flakes, a dish some

Horse Sense.

If you work for man, in heavens
name work for him. II he pays wages
that supply you your bread and butter,
work for him, speak we'll Of him, think
we'll Of him, stand by him and stand by
the institution he represents. think
if worked for man l would work
for him. I would not work for him q
part Of his time, but all Of his time. l
would give an undivided service or
none. If put to a pinch an ounce Of
loyalty is worth pound Of cleverness.
If you vilify, condemn and eternally
disparage. why. resign your position
and when you are outside roar to your
hearts content. But, I pray you, SO
long as you are part of an institu-
ton, do not condemn it. Not that you
will injure the institution-not that
but when you disparage the concern of
which you are part you disparage
yourself.-Elbert Hubbard.

Colony of Cousins.

In Catlin bay, close to the great rock
Of Gibraltar, there is a colony so unique
that it stands out almost as tribe dis
tinct in itself. Many generations ago.
during a storm, a fleet Of Genoese fish
ermen put into the sheltered spot and
so escaped the fury of the sea. In the
boats, so history has it, were many wo-
men, and they became so enamored OF
the spot that huts were built and they
remained. Hundreds of years have
passed, and the little tribe still fingers
on. 1t is colony of cousins, dwelling
apart in the shadow of a great rock
and going down to the sea in ships to
earn a hard won livelihood.

STRUCTURE OF THE EYE.
Why We See Better In a Moderate
~. Than In Glaring Light.

Why We See Better In a Moderate
49,. fl. Than In Glarins Light.
An observant chauffeur. passing an
automobile with glariny headlights.
noted that objects at the side of the
road which had been distinctly visible
dropped out Of sight when the bright
lights were thrown upon them. Since
one can see better in u little light than
in no light. he wondered. why can one
not see better in bright light than in
moderate light!
The answer Is, puradoxically. that
the less light there is the better one
sees, for the brighter the object the
less efficient is the eyesight. If, after
we have been in darkness. we sudden
Iy turn on a bright light and look at
our eyes in mirror we can see the
pupil Of the eye rapidly growing small
er. II we reduce the light the pupil
dilates again. What happens is the
same as in the camera when we adj
just the shutter to the intensity Of the
light. ~ j.
The colored iris of the eye CORE
spends to the shutter 1t consists
chiefly of u muscle which, as the light
increases. is stimulated to contract,
thus dra wing the curtain and shutting
out some Of the supertuous light. 1t
usually takes few seconds for this
adjustment to take place. Thus when
We emerge from darkness into light we
are blinded until the iris can shut out
some of the light from the eyes.

Lieutenant Gsnaral.

Many of us are puzzled to know why
lieutenant general ranks higher than
4 major general. Perhaps the explana-
ton is that the titles date back to the
commonwealth, when the country was
divided into military districts. the less
important under the control Of SER
geant major general, the rank beyond
that Of colonel, and the more impor-
tant being governed by lieutenant
general. the captain general being
Cromwell himself. The lapse Of time
has deleted the sergeant from the SER
geant major general.-London Chron-

Americans Physical Development.

While this country may excel in a
competition Of trained athletes or in
certain kinds Of mental ingenuity or
shrewdness, it is certain that the aver
age man is far from a model Of per-
feet physical development. A casual
inspection Of the crowds on the streets
Of any one of our large cities will re-
veal pale. undernourished and poorly
developed youths and pasty, f1abby men
in large numbers and will convince the
open minded observer of the desirable
ity for the individual of some form Of
regular physical training. That the
country bred, moreover, are not greatly
superior to those brought up in the
city has been the experience Of most
military men who. have had occasion
to handle large numbers of troops

There are twenty-seyen permanent

and there are nearly as many more of
the semi-permanent variety existing at

est influence. and differences Of tenn
peratures. storms, polar ice aud eddies
have each some effect. creating usually
