MO. SIXTH Will BE
RE-ORCANIZED SOON
Meeting Held Yesterday After
noon by Old Members-Coi.
Oliver to Aid.

The first definite step for the re-
organization of the old Missouri Sixth
was taken at a meeting held yester-
day at the Office OF Senator Thos. F.
Lane with representatives from nearly
every town of Cape Girardeau Coun-
ty present. Immediately after he
meeting, Senator Lane communicated
with District Attorney Arthur Oliver
in st. Louis asking him to use his in
fluence with Governor Gardner to in
duce him to approve the reorganiza-
tion of the regiment.
1t was decided to call or the Gov
ernor next Tuesday and present the
matter to him. A representative of
nearly every town in Southeast Ms
souri, will be asked to meet in Jeffer-
son City next Tuesday morning to

Lane and Col. Warren L. Mabrey of
Jackson, who was the Lieutenant
Colonel Of the regiment, have taken
the arrangements in their hands and
hope to have the regiment reorgan-
lied in at least ten days.
Col. Oliver promised he would con-
fer with Governor Gardner who ar
rived in st. Louis last night and ask
him to accept the reorganization of
the regiment. He promised to head
the delegation which will call on the
Governor next Tuesday morning. Some
of the most influential friends of the
Governor have been selected for this
delegation.
1t was pointed out at yesterdays
meeting that several hundred young
men from Southeast Missouri had al
ready been enlisted for military serv-
ices since the declaration of the war.
and in order to keep the men from
this section of the State in one regi-
ment. it was found advisable to re-
organize the old regiment. The quail
fications for the Missouri regiment will
be the same as required for the United
States Army. The age limit will he
extended from IS to perhaps 81 years.
married men who have no dependence
will also be accepted.
The Missouri Sixth was organized
during the Spanish-American war, 10
years ago. 1t was the only regiment
of the Missouri National Guard which
was put in active service during the
war. The regiment was composed of
ten companies recruited from every
town in Southeast Missouri. Several
years ago the regiment was disbanded
after several towns had dropped out
of the ranks.

DRAINAGE Man
IS KILLED WHEN
STRUCKBY CRANE
Thomas Poole of AIIenville
Suffers Fracture of Skull
in Two Places.
DIED AT HOSPITAL 6
HOURSAFTER ACCIDENT
Body to be Shipped to Clinton,
Kentucky This After
noon.

Thomas Poole, a drainage machine
operator employed by the Floesch Con,
struction Co., was fatally injured yes
terday afternoon when he was struck
by crane which was hosting drain
age machine into freight car several
miles south of Dutchtown. He was
brought to the Cape and placed in the
St. Francis Hospital where he died
last night about 1890 o'clock. His
death was due to a fracture Of the
skull and internal injuries. He did
not regain consciousness after the ac-
cident.
Mr.. Poole was standing on the car
directing the loading of machine
which was to be shipped to Blomeyer,
when the crane bearing several parts
of machine swung around and struck
him.
The force of the blow hurled Mr..
Poole into the air. He fell head fore
most onto a steel beam which was ly-
ing near the machine, rendering him
unconscious. Several employees rushed
to his side and carried him into the
Office, whence he was taken to the city
in an automobile.
In the meantime a physician of the
Cape was communicated with and ask
ed to await the arrival of the patient
at the hospital. The examination of
the physician revealed that Poole had
suffered a fracture of the skull at the
base of the brain and another frac-
ture near the forehead.
Mr.. Poole has been employed by the
construction company for number OF
years. He came here from Kentucky,
where he had operated drainage ma
chinery for more than ten years. He
lived in the Cape at the corner Of
Frederick and Broadway until several
months ago, when he moved with his
wife to Allenville in order to be near
his work.
Mrs. Poole became hysterical at the
hospital when she learned of the con-
dition of her husband. He was in the
Cape Tuesday evening visiting friends
and told them that he was considering
an offer he had received from drain
age company in Canada.
The body was taken to the Walther
Bros. Undertaking Co. late last night
and prepared to be shipped to Clinton,
KY, the former home Of Mr.. Poole.
The body, accompanied by the widow,
will leave on the afternoon train.

SYRUP Of FIGS FOR
A CHILD'S BOWELS
It is cruel to force nauSeating,
harsh phySiC into a
sick child.

Look back at your childhood days,
Remember the dose" mother insisted
on-castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides" are
injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious California Syrup of Figs" Its
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach, and that teaspoonful
given today saves a sick child tomor-
row.
Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle
of California Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly

Judge Marvin had been dead only few

Howard March did not return In

from him. Sometimes the letters were
short, but when they halted, and he
had more leisure, they were long, filed
with accounts of his travels, and al

seemed to increase rather than lessen
by absence. After about eight months
the letters ceased. The last one had
told Of starting on trip into a wild,
unexplored country, and as the weeks
went by without any tidings Esther
concluded March was still beyond any
means of communication. But when

of the barn, but considerable work is
required to get the silage to some
other part of the barn where consider
able of it is used. This is not eff
cheney, for though you have perhaps
wasted no money in the construction
of the silo, you are daily unnecessarily
wasting much of your working ef-
fort.
The silO may not only be located in
conveniently with respect to the places
where the silage is used. By neglect
ing sufficient forethOught the design
may be decided on, and after the struc-
! ture is completed it is realized that its
capacity is too small. 1t is just as
cheap to build a silO in the right place
as in the wrong and,it costs but little
more to build it large enough rather
than too small. Additions later are
much more expensive than the same
thing would be if included in the orig
inal building.
These are but a few Of the many
inefficient things which might be done

der to save on the original cost many
things may be left out which are great
time, thus money-savers. Money should
wisely be invested in such time-saving
devices. The money, represented by
work which can be saved in the long
run, will show nice profit on the
small extra investment necessary for
time-saving installations.
In a dairy barn, as well as all 9th
ers, the comfort of the cattle, horses
and other animals should be given con-
siderable thought. They are just like
q man. Under better conditions the
cattle thrive more. Sanitation makes
them less susceptible to disease. Let
us say you lose two nice cows during
the year from disease. That repre-
sents loss to you Of perhaps $3.50 to
5000. Wouldn't it have been better
to spend this $1,000 for construction
In your barn which would make 1t
more sanitary and disease-resisting?
During the first year you would make
up for this 5000 extra cost by not los
ing the cows, and during the second |
and each successive year you would be |
5000 ahead per year.
The thing in selecting a design for
your barn is this: Forget the first
cost and think of the things which will
make it convenient for you to work in,
and sanitary and comfortable for your
cattle. If you cannot get the first-cost
idea out of your mind, remember these
things. You have perhaps borrowed
some of the money for your barn from
the bank. You must pay them back
and make more besides for yourself.
II YOU include sanitary and convenient
things in your design you can pay the
bank quicker and make larger profits
for yourself.

plan ana perspective view are here

"Well, she can't go on this way much
longer"
Mrs. Flint gave her opinion with an
air OF fnality that was entirely con
vincing 10 Mrs. Baker on the other side
Of the fence. In fact, Esther Marvin
had for some time furnished a topic OF
conversation to the inhabitants of the
small New England town.
Time was when 1t was considered
quite the fashionable thing TO send
ones daughter 10 Miss Marvin's School
for Young Ladies'; but that was some
nine years ago when Miss Marvin's
social position as the daughter of the
lately deceased judge not only gave
her influence in her own circle, bur
served as a sort of lure TO those trifle
lower in the social scale. When the
Judge died, leaving his wife and daugh-
ter nothing after his debts were paid,
but the fine old house on the hill, Es-
ther decided that the best thing she
could do was to convert the big billiard
room into a school room, and try to
make living for her mother and her
self by utilizing her college education
as n teacher. The change in their for
tunes told heavily ON the frall little
mother, who two years later drifted on
to a less material world leaving her
daughter to face the problem alone.
The school prospered, but aside from
her loneliness, Esther had another
problem to face. She was a staunch,
COURAGEOUS soul, and she did not waver.
Before her fathers death Esther had
become engaged to Howard March.
The alliance had been approved of by
the judge for March was his old
friends nephew, and he believed he
saw in the young man energy and
strength of character sufficient for him
20 make an honorable career. Esther
loved him as only such a deep, true
nature can. They were to be married
in about four months, when March told
her of an expedition he had been asked
to join to take up land for tea growing

WOULD DAYS DANCE SHOCK?
Probably Write of FIFTY Years Ago
Would Be Horrified at the Joy
GUS Movements of Today.

1t was Goethe who said that "none
but husband and wife can with pro-
priety be partners in the waltz" He
and the rest of society had been used
to the square dance such as the Scotch
reel, the minuet, the old-fashioned
cotillon and host of rather simple
steps known as country dances. What
would dear old Goethe have said had
he seen the dances of nowadays or a
year or so ago? Would he, like the
author of a quaint little book called
Etiquette for Ladies', With Hints on
the Preservation, Improvement and
Display Of Female Beauty, published
some so years ago, have said that he
summed up his advice in regard to
the choice Of dances, by warning them
against the introduction of the new
tangled fashions of this sort"
In this quaint little book ON decorum
one finds this advice: Let our Ameri-
can fair also turn away from the al
most equally unchaste dances of the
southern kingdoms Of Europe, and.
content with the gay step of France,
and the active merriment Of England
and Scotland, with their own festive
continue their native balls
to their blameless delight, and to the
of every tasteful and
Observer" And not only
have we gone to the southern king
doms of Europe, but to the much
warmer nations in the south of our
own land, to Argentina first and of late
to the states of Central America.

The feed alley is conveniently To-
Gated In the middle Of the barn. This
permits Of easily distributing the sill

In the floor In back of the COW stalls
on either side Of the barn. In back
Of these cutters are the manure
carrier tracks, conveniently located so
that the refuse in the cutters can be
directly picked up and carried out.
The dimensions Of the COW stalls
can be made according to the ideas of
the builder. In some places it is Gus
tomary to build all Of the stalls 3
feet 90 inches wide, and have 8
feet between the gutter and the
manger. In other localities the
stalls on one side would be made
4 feet inches long. and on the
other 8 feet long. The length of
the stalls are made to vary in this way
so as to accommodate the different
lengths Of the cows housed In the
barn. There are stanchions made
which are adjustable so that they can
take from or add to the length of the
stall, inches or so. In case these are
going to be used all stalls can be made
the same length.
This particular barn was designed
for a country where the winters are
rather mild and the cows can spend
