A TORN AND TATTERED VEST

Senator Vest continues to maintain a
state of war against the administration at
Washington. Up to date there are no in
dications that either the president or his
cabinet is the least inconvenienced or en-
barrassed. 1t may be that the senator's
aid and assistance might make the burden
of public duty lighter to them. but they
don't seem to miss him. The
Missouran's original discovery of the
heinous character of the second
Democratic administration the republic
has had since 1861, was made about the
time that he failed to establish himself as
the federal pie dispenser for the state, with
jefferson City as capital. The senator
feels that the federal Offices in a state sort
OF go with the senatorship, when the hold
or of the latter happens to belong to the
same party as the appointing power. His
latest ebullition of rage has the secretary
of the interior for an object. The latter
official has refused to open a Ute reserva-
ton of 100000 acres to settlement.
The reservation was set apart by treaty
for the Indians, and the secretary is old
fashioned enough to believe that treaty
stipulations, even with Indians, should be
kept. This belief is not in exact accord.

TWO LADIES RUN DOWN
Injured by q MIX Wagon At Fifth and Mali
Streets

Injured by a MIX Wagon At Fifth and Main
Streets
At o'clock last evening as Mrs. Anna
Waldron, aged 81. and her nurse, Mrs.
Anderson, were crossing the corner of
Fifth and Main streets, they were run
down by team of horses attached to q
milk wagon driven by man named Frank
Pellisier. Mrs. Waldron is partially para
lyzed, and she with her companion was re.
turning from supper to their rooms in the
Chicago house on South Main street. AS
they stepped off the curb without warning
the team was upon them, knocking both
ladies down and seriously bruising them.
The bronco milk team seemed to become
unmanageable at this juncture and ran off
in the darkness.
Pellisier soon regained control of his
horses and returned to the scene Of the ac-
cident. He said that he did not see the
ladies' at all until they were under the heels
soon as he could stop them he came back
to find what damage had been done. He
was not driving fast and had full control of
the team until passing the crossing.
Both ladies were removed to the receiv.
ing hospital at the police station, where it
was found that the old lady was bruised
about the head but had sustained no seri-
GUS injury. The nurse. Mrs. Anderson.
was hurt in the side and back and internal
injuries are feared. She is about IS years
old. Mrs. Waldron was soon able to be
taken to her rooms, but the nurse is con-
fined to bed in the hospital. The extent
of her injuries will be more fully deter
mined this morning.
Mr.. q. +. Hagan of 1343 South Main
street saw the accident and says it was
unavoidable. The street intersection was
dark, no electric lamp being lighted, and
neither the milkman nor the ladies saw
each other until too latet turn out.

THE POLITE WORLD

at their hoE;e on West Second street with
pedro. for which seventeen tables had been
arranged. The drawing room was effec-
tive with white roses and red carnations,
with pretty finish of smilax, the latter
made graceful traceries over the curtains
and network of the green was formed in
the arch. Plants and white roses were
used in the hall and in pleasing contrast
in the room beyond were dark red roses.
They were strewn over the curtains and
SmilaX wreathed the chandeliers, and the
lights were softened by violet tinted
shades. The score cards were held with
clusters of crepe violets. and the same
color scheme was carried out in the tempt
ing refreshments which were in charge OF
Staten. The ladies' carried away with
them dainty little boxes of candied violets
tied with violet ribbon, and the pretty SOU
venirs for the gentlemen were boutonnieres
of the fragrant blossoms.
silver manicure set was awarded the
lady holding the highest score. The second
was a prettily bound brass Crawford by
Gaskell. The eentleman's first prize was
an ebony necktie ring, mounted in silver;
the second a silver penknife. The evening
