hearing before Justice of the Peace
Willer, he denied the charges brought
against him. He is charged with
breaking into the Martens building
on Good Hope street and stealing a
wagonload of household goods stored
in the building. The articles were re-
covered in his home, but he insists
that he bought them from man
whom he knew only by sight.
Several days ago Adams informed
the Prosecuting Attorney that he
would plead guilty to the charges of
burglary and larceny and it was de-
cided to hold the special term in or
der to dispose of the three cases in
as much. as the other two prisoners
were willing to plead guilty.

Veteran Fisherman Was Be-
lieved to Have Lost Life
Year Ago.
LETTER SAYS HE WAS
FOUND LAST NOVEMBER
Mrs. Wiseman Puzzle d by Mys.
teriOus Message Penned on
Back of Daughters Letter.

That Jim Wiseman, the veteran
fisherman of this city who disappear
ed May 80, 1917, while returning with
two other men from a fishing trip, is
now living in Mount Vernon, ILL.,, is
intimated in a letter received last
Tuesday by Mrs. Anna Wiseman, 30
South Middle street, wife of the man
who was supposed to have lost his
life year ago. The message came
from Clyde Rasch, 521 South Oath
street, Mount Vernon, ILL.,, telling
Mrs. Wiseman that her husband mad
been living at his home more than
six months, and asking her whether
he should send Wiseman home.
The message was on the back of
a letter addressed to Miss Stella
Wiseman, daughter of the fisher
man. The informant said Wiseman
had been picked up on a sandbar at
Louisiana last Thanksgiving and had
been living in Mount Vernon since
that time. The letter did not state
whether Louisiana was the state or
the city in Missouri, which is located
on the Mississippi banks in Pike
County.
Mrs. Wiseman said last night she
did not know whether some joker had
written the letter or whether her hus-
band was really still living. She
stated her daughter returned an an
ser to the address given in the mys-
terious message Tuesday evening, but
she had not received any word from
her informant, Clyde Rasch.
The fact that the mysterious mes
sage was written on a letter ad-
dressed to her daughter, Mrs. Wise
man said, mad led her to believe that
the map who wrote the message knew
something of the fate of her husband.
She believes that he had the letter
in mis- pocket at the time he disap-
peared.
At the time of Wiseman's disap-
pearance the family resided at 314
South Middle street. This was the
address the envelope addressed to
Mrs. Wiseman last Tuesday was sent
to. Since then the family has re-
moved to 40 South Middle Street.
The former address Mrs. Wiseman
believes was used for the reason tnat
sit was the one under which the orig
inal letter had been sent to her
daughter.
Mrs. Wiseman stated that she did
not know anyone by the name of
Rasch in Mount Vernon. If her hus-
band was really still living, sne said
she believed he suffered a lapse of

bers On Program

William Jennings Bryan, former
Secretary of State, and recognized as
the Cicero of present days, will be
the leading speaker during Chautau-
qua week in this city beginning about
July 19. This information was re-
ceived yesterday by Rush H. Linz
baugh, who is in charge of the ad-
vertising for the Chautauqua in this
city.
In addition to Bryan a French SOL
dier, who has been in the trenches
for several years, has seen every
phase of the martial game, was
wounded and disabled, and who is
now making speeches in this country
in order to arouse the patriotism of
the Americans and the enthusiasm
of the citizens for the cause of the
United States entering the war, has
also been secured for the Chautauqua
week.
The Chautauqua will be carried on
six days. No day for the beginning
has as yet been fixed by the commit
tee in charge of arranging the sched-
ule, but from information thus far
received from the Chautauqua COM
mittee in Kansas City, the week of
July 10 will mark the beginning.
About fifty men will be chosen IN
this city to guarantee the expenses
of the chautauqua week. Last year
the guarantors lost money, but they
are confident this year taht there
will be no loss in view Of the fact
that many patriotic features have
been added to the usual program, fea-
lures that will draw crowds. The
season tickets and single admission
prices remain the same as last year
notwithstanding the fact that many
more attractions have been added to
the program for this year.
Arrangements are now under way
to organize the guarantors for the
chautauqua. D'Nean Stafford, pres
ident of the First National Bank, who
headed the local committee OF guar
antors last year, will again be in
charge this year. Other leading men
of the city will again become men,
bers of the local chautauqua COM
mittee to bring the chautauqua here.
The following program has been
announced for the six days:
FIRST DAY.

turing Joseph Black, violin virtuoso.

CAPE MAY HAVE new
DEPOT in 2 MONTHS
Frisco Officials Tell Mayor Haas
Building Will Be Speedily
Built

The construction of the Frisco pas
senger station in this city will be
started in about a month or six
weeks, in the opinion of Mayor H. H.
Haas, who returned yesterday morn
ing from St. Louis, where he was in
conference with President Biddle OF
the Frisco, General Manager Kern,
Architect Stephens and several other
officials of the railroad. The plans
for the new station were thoroughly
discussed and the Frisco officials as
sured the Mayor that these would be
drawn in less than two weeks.
These plans, Mayor Haas said,
would be identical with the set ap-
proved by ex-Mayor Will Hirsch and
the Commercial Club committee some
months ago in conference with. rep
resentatives of the railroad. In view
of the fact, however, that the prices
for building material have increased
materially, the dimensions of the
building on the new set of plans will
be diminished to some extent.
President Biddle assured Mayor
Haas that ne would do everything in
his power to speed up the building
of the station. The Frisco he assur-
ed the Mayor, would commence the
construction of the building as soon
as the contract had been let, which
would require probably month after
the plans had been completed and
approved by the city officials of Cape
Girardeau.
While the building, which was pre-
sented on the old plans, was 1S4 feet
long and "A feet wide, the structure
the Frisco expects to build now will
be reduced in its dimensions. 1t was
agreed in the conference Friday that
the station would have front of
about It's or 17S feet, while the
width would remain the same as the
one SHOWN on the plans approved by
ex-Mayor Hirsch.
President Biddle assured the Mayor
that the Frisco could spend the full
$4,000 which are required by the or
dinance under which the Frisco re-
ceived its franchise from the city in
1909. This expenditure was autao--
lied by the Director General of Rail
roads recently, and will be invested
in the passenger station.
According to the Frisco architect
it will require about two weeks to
draw the plans for the building.
These will then be Immediately, for
warded to the city officials for ap-
proval. The contract for the build
ing of the depot will be advertised
probably a month, the officials said.
All local contractors will be given
chance to bid On the work.
The station, according to the fran
chise granted the railroad by this city
nine years ago, should have been COM
pleted last year. 1t will be erected at
TIE foot of Independence street with
the tracks on the east side of the

A SILK SUIT OR WOOL.

Already a good many women are
asking themselves this question::
Shall my new spring suit be of wool
or of silk? Which would prove
most economic? Which would be
the more patriotic for every pur-
chase these days must involve a pa
triotic consideration.
An effort has been made 70 en-
courage women in buying silk in
stead of wool whenever this is pos
sible Wool is necessary for the sol
diers and a certain amount of it is
necessary for cur own winter cloth
es. For this reason whenever we
can use silk as a substitute it has
been decided that we ought to do so.
Moreover. wooden materials are so
high that il is no longer any more
expensive to purchase a silk suit
than a wooden one. 1t is not that
silk is cheaper-though silk manu-
facturers insist that silk was never
put out in more reasonable prices,
considering the high standard of
quality maintained-but that wool is
more expensive.
One way of getting around the
situation will be TO make suits of
silks and wool. Many women will
select suits made of a little good
quality navy blue serge pieced GU

with heavy taffeta silk of the same
shade. Possibly the serge will be in
plastrons in front and back, with
the sleeves and skirt body and other
trimmings of silk.
Some of the newest models for
spring sport suits show a cOmbina-
ton of checked wool and pOngee.
The wool forms the wide rolling
collar of the coat and a front panel
in the skirt that goes TO the knees
and then extends on each side to
form a very wide hem portion that
goes all the way round TO the back.
All the rest is of pOngee.
A favorable material for dark
suits this spring will be heavy satin,
some of them heavily braided with
silk or mohair braid. Pongee com
bined with satin in matching or
contrasting colors is an attractive
com bination in one or two of the
advanced spring models.
One way of making the wool go a
long way will be TO have the jacket
of the suit made of wool and the
skirt of silk. This is a good plan
for the woman who feels that she
needs more warmth in her coat than
silk can supply. one seldom needs
the warmth of wool in the skirt for
spring suit-and hence the skirt
is of silk.
