Time by the New Cape Girardeau Daily THH CAPE DAILY TRIBUNE
The farm consists of 20 acres, equipped with a substantial residence and all the required outbuildings.
It is the besl land to be found in Cape Girardeau County and will make an ideal home for life for

contests offered by others, where flimsy gifts of little value are said to be offered for little labor.

Accident in Advance
J. J. Holden of Bourbon, near
Steelville, suffered a badly brok
en leg last Sunday while with a
party of men he was driving
through the country, inspecting
some land. In some manner and
unnoticed by the party the pole
of the buggy dropped and per
mitted the wheels to skid down
the side of a ditch. Mr. Holden
in jumping from the rig fell in
euch a manner as to fracture one
of hi legs, the bone protruding
from the flesh at the ankle. He
was removed to St. Louis Mon
day. With Mr. Holden was
Postmaster Goodman and F. M.
Williams, both of Advance.
Busy Railroad Point
With four passenger trains
steaming and puffing away at
the station at one time; with
dozens of passengers hurrying
and scurrying about to catch the
right train or to be coming here
on business, makes not only vis
itors to our city, but our resi
dents as well take notice.
Such a thing occurred here
Tuesday shortly after noon. The
Gulf. Poplar L'luir and JUoostrr
trains, being late in leaving,
were joined here by train No.

The preliminary announcement in the Cape Weekly
lie raid last week that the new Cape Daily Trilmne is to
GIVE AWAY A COMPLETE FARM including a
good residence, outbuildings, etQ'res of productive
land has caused most favorable comment from all sec
tions of the county, as well as from various parts of the
state.
While then; are a number of details yet to be com
pleted before full particulars can be riven (the fact that
a farm of HO acres a real farm a splendid home for
some man, woman or child IS TO BE GIVEN AWAY)
it is enough to know at this time and is sufficient to
intercut thousands and thousands of people. t
Just compare a "khL, elear-of-incumbrauce, well
equipped and cozy farm home that will mean independ
ence for the winner for all t ime to come, with prizes that
have l.en offered by other newspapers of the country
Canyon imagine the difference in value in any phase you
may-consider it!
The Cape Daily Tribune is going to give away with
no strings whatever attached this complete farm in
a circulation contest, in which there will be most inter
esting rivalry for supremacy. It will be well worth the
time of every man, woman jand child not only in Cape
Girardeau and Cape county, but the entire state, to make
an effort to come into thejssession of this splendid
furm.
Already we have, been besieged with inquiries regard
ing all the details, which we hope to noon be able to give
to the public. But, it is i-afe to state that all that will
be necessary for the contestants to do will be to aid
us in building up a circulation for The Cape Daily Trib
une which is to be launched in a very few days, and for
which thousands of prospective subscribers are clamoring.
Think of it a tine farm, ready to receive its new oc
cupant to be given to the winner in this contest.
Watch for full particulars and do not be confused by
any statements that may be made by those who are wont
to tear down any creditable industry, or to otherwise
harm our citizens and their business interests.
The new daily newspaper as well as the new week
ly paper The Cape Daily and Weekly Tribune will
soon be with you to prove that they will bo up to the
high standard that is anticipated for them by the man
agement, and we feel veiy certain that no one will be in
the b ast disappointed.
Night and day work still continues equipping our
splendid newspaper and commercial printing establish
ment, which contains a .new "Monotype" typesetting and
type -easting machine, upon which we now are making a
complete outttt of new typo for commercial work, on
which the newspaper will be set in new typo every day,
as will be all kinds of commercial printing that is en
trusted to us for the hest execution.
LOCAL JAIL DELIVERY WHAT SOIL COiiTAIi;
Two Federal Prisoners Make Good
Getaway, Leaving No Clue as
to How Job Was Done
Police and government offic
ials are at a loss to know how
two government prisoners. Een
T. Votaw and Charles Pveynolds,
made their escape from the Cape
prison Tuesday night.
That both men were missing
when a prison official called at
their cells with their breakfast
Wednesday morning, was a sur
prise, and caused a gTeatamouut
of discussion. The strange fea
ture of the getaway was that no
clue could be discovered hc-
they got out.
Votaw, who is 40 years old and
Reynolds who is 20, were placed
in the local jail about three
months ago. They were picked

Recently the Department of
Chemistry of the State Norma!
School at Cape Girardeau was
called upon to make an analysis
of samples of scils submitted by
IL H. Derr, farm adviser for
Scott county. Mr. Derr desired
the results for a farmers' meet

such nature as to be interesting
to farmers of other places. The
following are the results:

While hunting in the vicinity
of Gale a few days ago William
Jackson, a farmer boy of that
place, ran across the badly de
composed body of an aged man
who had- been dead, from all in

Residents of that part of the
country recall having seen a man
of the same description last
spring. It was supposed that he
became ill and lay down in the
brush.
