Guy E. Cooksey, editor of the
recently suspended Hornet of
Sikeston, Mo., has asked the St.
Louis police to aid him in find
ing his wife who disappeared
from a hotel at 1727 Market
street.
Cooksey says he came to St.
Louis to buy equipment for a
paper he proposes to start in
Newport, Arkansas, and that
Mrs. Cooksey carried $500 with
which he expected to conclude
the deal.
Cooksey, after he found his
wife was gone, told Detective
Bernard Willie of her disappear

Globe-Democrat office to insert
an avvertisement imploring his
wife to return on account of
their five children, ranging in
age from 4 to M years.
Cooksey says his wife weighs

Phone 258 “The Very Best of Every Thmg |U5j
Nebraskan Has Lived In Three
Centuries.
United Press Service.
' Westerville, Nebraska, July 1
—Thomas Morris, who this
month is one hundred and twen
ty years and six months of age,
Is believed by some of his
friends to be the oldest man in
the United States. He is the on
ly man in Nebarska at least,
who has lived in three centuries.
He was born in the eighteenth j
century, saw all the nineteenth
and now has a pretty good start
into the twentieth. He was two
years old when Washington’s
term as president closed. This
fact connects him with the ad
ministration of every American
president.
Morris was one year old when
the famous trial of Warren Has
tings closed, and eleven years
old when Admiral Nelson won
his voctory at Trafalgar. He liv
ed during the periods of the Na
poleonic wars, attaining his ma
jority six months before the
battle of Waterloo. He was el
even years old when Ireland and
England were united and has
lived during the reigns of King
George III, George IV, William
IV, Queen Victoria, King Ed
Edward VII and the present
King, George V. He was past
three sco^e and ten when Abra
haml Lincoln was assassinated- i
Thomas Morris was born Janu
ary 15, 1794 at Ballew, Mont
gomershire, Wales. His father
was a common laborer. As a
lad Thomas was apprenticed to
a shoemaker, which work he
continued until recently. In
1871 when he was seventy-sev
en years of age, he came to the
United States. He is a bachelor
and has been for years a con
med woman-hater. He walks
with the aid of a stick and wears
spectacles, the first pair of
which he purchased after cele
brating his one hundredth
birthday.
Drouth Ruined Corn Crop.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, July 2. —“This ex
cessive drouth has practically
ruined the corn crop of the
state,” said Commissioner John
H- Page. “There have beer
rains only in isolated spots suf
ficient to save the crop. Cotton
has not been materially damag
ed yet, but the growth has been
retarded. Good rains during
July and Aguust will produce an
abundant yield. The cabbage,
watermelon and cantaloupe
crops have been cut down at
least one-half, and the~cuttings
of alfalfa and other hay crops
have been greatly reduced.”
