THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE AND CAPE COUNTY HERALD. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1311
Mile Posts of Progress
THERE are more than 13,000,000 poles in the
Bell system, which cost, set in position for ser
vice, $138,000,000.
Every time a telephone pole is erected it marks
a step forward in the extension of telephonic com
munication. Underground lines are being steadily extended
in the larger cities, but it is by means of these pole
lines that the Bell telephone service has become a
universal factor in the spread of social and com
mercial activity to the most remote localities of
this broad land.

O.A. KNEHANS GETS
HOME SERIOUSLY ILL
City Counselor is Threatened
With Pneumonia After
Exposure to Cold
City Counselor Oscar A. Knchans
yesterday was ill in bed at his home,
threatened with pneumonia, following
his return early yesterday morning
from a week's trip to Oklahoma.
Physicians in charge of his case said
his condition was serious and advised
absolute rest and quiet. Knchans yes
terday dictated several letters at his
home in spite of the fact that he had
been put to bed.
Knchans went to Oklahoma City
about ten days ago to attend to legal
business for the Central Wesleyan Col
lege for which he is attorney and a
member of the Board of Regents. Be
fore he departed from the Cape he ac
quired a severe cold and was not in
the best of health on his departure.
While he was in Oklahoma, it was
necessary to look over sonic lands that
the college has an interest in, so that
he was forced to go on two days riding
in an automobile. It is believed that
the exposure in the automobile ride
aggravated the cold that he -already
had contracted and has resulted in a
threat of pneumonia.
Mr. Knehans, on his return to the
Cape, attempted to catch up work con
nected with his position as U. S. Ref
eree in Bankruptcy as well as City
Counselor.

Surgeon Lances Abcess on Stomach
Monday Councilman's Wif.
(Jains Strength Steadily.
Mrs. Clem Hoeller, wife of City
Councilman Hoeller.is improving slow
ly following a slight operation that
was performed at St. Francis' Hospital
Monday to relieve an abcess with
which she has been suffering.
Mrs. Hoeller has been in the hospital
for several weeks. She has an abcess
on the stomach and at one time, her
life was saved only by the employment
of artificial means. Since that crisis
passed several days ago. she has grad
ually gained strength till Monday, it
was determined she was strong enough
to have the abcess relieved.
The surgeons did not perform a
genuine operation. The abcess was
lanced and Mrs. Hocllcr's condition rc
1 icved.

NICHOLS SAYS HE
WILL DELAY SUIT
Won't Go Into Courts Till Su
preme Court Passes on
Salary Case.
D. A. Nichols, clerk of the Court of
Common Tleas, yesterday announced
that he will wait the outcome of a Su
preme Court decision before proceed
ing further with a tentative friendly
mandamus suit to force the County
Court to allow him a salary of $2000
instead of the fees that he now is col
lecting on cases as his emolument in
office.
The determination to wait was made
on receipt of a letter from Wilson
Cramer, of Jackson, the attorney into
whose hands Nichols contemplated
placing the suit.
Nichols and many jurists in Cape
County assert that Nichols is entitled
to the $2000 salary as clerk of the
Cape Girardeau Court of Common
Pleas the same as the cJerks of the
County Circuit courts.
This claim is based upon the provi
sions creating the court in the revised
statutes of Missouri and a law enact
ed by the last General Assembly. An
assistant in Attorney General Barkers
office has given an opinion in which he
declares that the salary feature does
not apply to Nichols' position and
based on that, the County Court has
refused to allow the salary.
A case similar in character is being
tried before the Supreme Court for a
county in the northern part of the
State, and it is believed that the out
come of that case will create a pre
cedent to govern in Nichols' position
also.
The constitutionality of the law giv
ing the salary is being tried. Nichols
yesterday declared his interest simply
was in getting his office placed on the
correct footing.
As a matter of fact, the fees in
Nichols' office, he says, amount to
about as much as the salary would.
To date for this fiscal year, Nichols
said he alreadv has collected more than
$1400 in fees for the office and all of
the fees for the November term of
court, which is the heaviest in the
year, are yet to be collected.
Under the present scheme, Nichols
is compelled to pay the salary of his
deputy clerk out of the fees that he
collects for the office.
Under the salary system, a separate
salary is allowed by the Judge of the
Court of Common Pleas, not to exceed
$150 a month, for the deputy clerks.
It is proposed t6 make the salary of
Nichols' deputy $50 a month.
