OWE THEIR LIVES TO WOMAN
How Mrs. John Hays Hammond Won
ParGons From Grim Old "Oom
Paul" Kruger.

John Hays Hammond, an American
citizen, was in prison, under sentence
of death. He had been tried and con-
victed of nigh treason to the South
African Republic. One of four leaders
Of the reform movement in the Trans
wal, he was charged with completely
in the famous jameson raid, found
guilty. and sentenced to die.
Only one person lived in the Trans
vaal with sufficient power to set aside
The death sentence passed upon the
man who is known today as the great
est mining engineer in the United
States. This was Dom Paul Kruger,
then president of the South African
Republic. He was an old rlan-nar-
row, bigoted and possessed OF an IN
tense hatred for the eager. SraSpins
strangers who he believed had sought
his country only TO deSpOil it.
John Hays Hammond was among the
most entnrprising and, consequently,
one of the most disliEed, of the foreign
residents of the TranSvaal. For years
he had been employed as an engineer;
first by Barney Barndto, the English
mining operator. and later by Cecii
Rhodes, to locate diamonds in Dom
Paurs country. Com Paul disliNed
him. He disIiked all men who brought
swarms of eager reckless adventures
into his country. And he made life as
difficult for them as he could.
In 1855 the world was startled by the
news that Il British adyenturcr. Doctor
jameson, had led raiding party o:
armed men into the Transvaal. The
raid failed. John Hays Hammond
was among those arrested on the ac-
cusation of having instigafHd Jane
sons attack on the South african Re
public. He was found guilty and SEN
fenced to die.
But the brave, coOl-headcd wife OF
the eminent American mining engineer
did not intend that anything disagree
able should happen to her husband
Ever since their marriage. in 1850.
Mrs. John Hays Hammond had fol-
lowed the fortunes of her young en-
cinper, no matter where they took him.
But when they threw him into. 1aii
under death sentence, she decided
that it was time for her to interfere,
She made up her mind to see Dom
Paul Kruger and tell him that she had
come to save him from the crime of
nI,tting an innocent man to death. IL

ger hut Mrs. Hammond proved equal

Hammond was successful. Before she
left his office, Mr.. Kruger had prom
ised to spare her husbands life. The
president OF the TranSvaal republic
kept his word to Natalie Hammond.
Her husbands sentence was commut-
ed to Imprisonment for 10 years anG
later on. he was freed on payment OF
fine of S125,0OO, and Mrs. Hammond
had the extreme happiness of knowing
that through her intcrccSS:on, not only
her husbands life but the lives of the
mel, arrested with him had been saved.

The bonds were authorized for the
construction of the Cape Girardeau

city to the lower counties of this
State. The road bed was completed as
far as Dci when the construction
work was d. Later the same road
bed was - by Hon. Louis Houck

witness the destruction of the bonds.
By retiring the last bonds of the
third issue, which totaled $108,000,

BLACK LEG FOUND

Rev. Clemens Moenig, the Catholic
priest at New Hamburg, Scott Coun-
ty, was in the Cape yesterday and re-
ported that several herd of Scott
County cattle were suffering from
black leg. He said it had been re-
ported from several localities and that
farmers and dairymen were vaccin-

Black leg is one of the most dread
ed of cattle diseases. Stock affected

To illustrate how rapidly it kills cat
tie, Clyde A. Vandivoort, the well
known merchant, tells this story:
"a friend of mine lost some cattle
from black leg. A colorcd man who
was looking after the farm, excitedly
notified his employer of the plague.
Boss said the colored man, de
cows am dyin' befo' dey gifts sick -
1t is said that cattle apparently in
good health at night are found dead
the following morning. The Illinois
State Board last year destroyed by
burning several herds in that state.
The Legislature few years ago APP
propriatcd large sum of money to
reimburse farmers whoes cattle had
TO be killed in an effort to check the
disease.

JOY TOASTED CIGARETTES.

Through the patriotism of the citi-

smoke kits are being distributed to
American soldiersin France. Author
tiles agree that men in the trenches
need cigarettes almost as much as
food and munitions.
Doctors, nurses, and commanding
officers all join in the demand which
has awakened in this country a great
movement to keep our boys supplied
with smokes.
Millions of the famous LUCKY
STRIKE Cigarettes are going over"
all the time. There's something
about the idea of the toasted ciga-
rette that appeals to the men who
spend their time in cold, wet trenches
and billets.
Then, too, the real Kentucky Burnley

of a pipe, with a lot less trouble.

GASOLINE SUPPLY IS LARGE
There Are Millions of Acres of Oil
Lands in This Country Which
Have Not Been Touched.

A group of oil experts may insist
that the gasoline supply is in danger
of exhaustion. hat there are others Of
apparently equal ability who scott
at the notion and take an optimistic
view, says MillStOnes.
In this country there are still mil
lions of acres of oil lands which have
scarcely been scratched. The Mexican
oil fields can increase their production
mere than tenfold once the tranSpOr-
tatiOn difficulties are solved. Costa
Rica gives many evidences of being
rich in oil, and work is being begun
there.
Apparently there is still plenty Of
oil in sight and the means of produc-
ton and distribution is being im-
proved.
