FLU EPIDEMIC IS ON THE WANE IN CAPE GIRARDEAU Only Three Cases Reported Yesterday And These Are Quarantined PEACE CELEBRATION AIDED THE DISEASE Many New Cases Discovered Af ter Last Monday's Jubilee Lid May Be Lifted The epidemic cf influenza in Cape is rapidly on the the wane, .announc ed A. P. Eehrens, the city clerk, last night. Only three cases were report ed yesterday and these were from homes that were under quarantine. There was one b'g day for the "flu"' in Cape Girardeau this week and that was Tuesday, the day following the peace demonstration. More than 20 cases were reported on that day. The epidemic in the Cape has been kept well under control, in view of the number of cases that have been reported from neighboring towns. The city officials acted promptly when the dsease was discovered and by their action, the number or cases nas been kept down to a minimum. Unless' unforseen conciti'ons ar.se j within the next few days, it is quite i likely that the lid will be taken off j moved its ban two aays ago, and sev eral Missouri cities have taken the lid off entirely. It is estimated that at least oOO 'persons in Cape Girardeau have had tne disease since the epidemic started While this seems like a large figure, it is small when compared to the num- j ber a icted in many of the small towns in Southeast Missouri. The Board of Health, co-operating with the mayor and commissioners, has kept the disease virtually under ccntrol. There are a few severe cases of the disease in the city now. The two daughters of Dr. and Mrs. J. C. Vorbeck have been quite ill. They were stricken with the disease after visiting' school mates, who were "jl. For several days their condition was quite serious, but they are being re restored to health rapidly.

Chaffee took a day off Monday to celebrate the end of the world war, anj jr Kugman was on hand to see that everything went off according to custom. Mr. Kugman built a huge bon fire in the street near his establish ment and when a great crowd formed about it, he tossed his hat into the fire. The crowd cheered his patriot ic spirit and when the applause ceas ed, he invited the spectators to fol low hj's example. They were just as patriotic 'as was Mr. Kugman, and' in the twinkling of the eye all lids were hurled into the fire. Mr. Kugman' clapped his hands vigorously in .appreciation of the evi dence of patriotism, "and then invited the men to visit his store, and pur chase new ccvers. ' The invitation was accepted", and each man bought i a new hat' That was what Mr. Kug- j man calls business with patriotism. Richard Frissell Plays Role of September Morn Commissioner, Caught in Clond bnrst, "Walks" into Current River Town With Clothes Under Arm. Richard W. Frissell, one of the City Commissioners, has made up his mind never to go fishing again with out taking a storm curtain with him. A short time ago he spent a week angling for game fish on the Current river, and an incident which occurred during his stay caused him to suffer great mental anguish, and he feel3 confident that he barely escaped in carceration for his crude portrayal of September Morn. Mr. Frissell was accompanied ' by his youngest son, Robert, who was taken to carry the fish and the bait. They registered at a hotel in a small city, but spent each day on the bank of the river, a mile or more from headquarters. The last day of the outing brought the commissioner a series of unfor tunate accidents, least among which was a failure of the fish to bite. They were just about to quit for the day when 3 storm came up and before they could wind up their fishing! tackle, a cloud-burst swept over. Both were drenched to the skia, and the commissioner's clothing ab absoibed so much water that he found it a great difficulty in climbing the hills. To relieve the pressure, he disrobed nd squeezed the water out of his clothing. According to his r.vn story, two gallons of liquid gushed out' of his trousers. The revelations that followed are Dest told oy Mr. rnssell: "To my, great astonishment, I found I had. squeezed my clothing out of shape. When I attempted tc dress, I was ut terly unable to get into my trousers. They appeared to have waiped. The legs were not so long as they had been and the holes through which my pedal extremities were supposed to pass had partially closed. For half an hour I struggled in vain. "When I came to the awful realiz ,ation that I could rot dress until mv pants had been dried and ironed out, 1 decided to approach as near thp city as possible and then call for help. Thin I did. I took refuge be hind a large sycamore and cried out in a loud voice. For several minutc3 I received no response. Then a voice answered me. . When Jthe man got within talkine distance. I tnM him my &ry and urged him to locate a suit cf clothing. In a deserted saw JOHN VANGILDER IS WOUNDED IN FRANCE Piece Of Shrapnel Strikes Cape Soldier On The Forehead Jdhn Van Gilder, one of the Cape boys who went to France last sum mer, has been in the keavy fighting in France for the past several weeks, accoi-ding to a letter received by his w ife in this city a few days ago. Young Van Gilder was slightly wounded in the forehead recently by an exploding shrapnel. A piece of the shell struck him a glancing blow on the upper part of the face, but he was not badly hurt. He relates many thrilling exper iences. He is with Gen. Pershing and the American taoops which have snd the American troops which have crack German regiments. EDWARD KOEHRER WILL BE OFFICER Edw.ard Koehrcr, son of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Koehrer, who has been stationed with the Coast Defense at Key West, 'nce the United States entered war against Germany, has been sent to the Officers' Training school at Camp Pike, Ark. t prepare himself for a commission. This in formation reached Cape Girardeau tMs week in a letter from the young soldier. Young Koehrcr hsa made an excel lent record at Key West, and for the past year has been in charge of the clerical force. He made frequent re- quests to be permitted to go to France, but his superiors declined to release him. But through his per Pike, where he entered the officers' school several days ago. mill he finally located me a cne sistence he was transferred to Camp piece baseball suit, with a deep red chest and striped legs. With this he brought me a cut-away coat, a vintage of the civil war. But these answered the purpose. I finally got into the? suit and made my way to the hotel, where I hurriedly went in to eclTpse until my own clothing had dried." Mr. Frissell's son described his father as resembling a strong cartoon of Uncle Sam minus whiskers. The Commissioner's legs were exposed to the elements in as much as the base ball suit did not extend below his knees.
