A SERIOUS

the Accidental Discharge of a Gun.

On March l6 a party composed OF Hon,

Wilson, Mr.. Chal Young and Mr.. John
Wiimot left Lexington for a hunting
expedition In Kansas. They went direct
TO Fleetwood and pitched their tent
about fourteen miles south of that point.
The hunters were ENJOYING great sue
cess and having a most excellent time
until last Sunday morning when a serious
accident befell one OF their party. They
were spending their last day in camp.
The hunting part of the expedition was
over and after the Sunday rest they were
On Monday morning going to break camp
aud return home Everything was quiet
aud the party was l%ounging oun camp
enjoying a rest from the week of sport.
DIR. MD. Wilson laid down on the ground
alongside of his hammerless gun. In
moving his arm around he hit the end of
the gun barrels and the gun was dis
charged. Both loads went through DIR.

DIR. Wilson was taken to Fleetwood and
brought from there to Kansas City, Mon

arm was amPntated at the elbow. He is

is not good policy to- be too cOnserva-

IA wrong policy, nor will such a policy

waite individuals or corporations were
to adopt such a policy where would

ELIZABETH AULL SEMINARY.

The Elizabeth Aull Seminary is m
one of the institutions to which the
citizens of Lexington have for years
been able To- point with warrantable
pride. Many of our noble women of
today remember fondly their Alma
Mater, and wish for her hat success
and prosperity which she so well
observes. In Lexington there is
scarce 10 be found Il citizen who does
not wish 10 see this institution main
tain the high standing among the
schools of Missouri that it has enjoyed
up to the present time. In educational
institutions progress is now the watch
word, and our institutions must keep
pace with the march of progress.
Last Saturday, ut n Injecting of the
board of curators, it was decided that
the school needed at least $4,000 TO
make alterations and improvements
were absolutely necessary for II e
good of the seminary. An appeal is
now being made To our citizens,
thiouuh a soliciting committee, to
ecu Il large part of this sum in
Lexington. We hope and trust that
our capitalists and business men and
citizens generally viii respond TO this
call for so worthy and noble a pur-
pose, rs they have done for our educa-
tional institutions in the past. We
can not afford to let the L. A. S. lack
for money that she needs at this time.
Let all our citizens do what they can,
and the very best that they can, and
the sum viii! be easily raised.
1t is no valid eXcus to Withhold and
this enterprise because we expect

The L. 4. S. is an institution

1.-THE Heart Of CHICAGO

From the Phllauslpnlh fTtss.
New York life has been pictured in
all its phases on the stage, but The
Heart of Chicago" presented at the
National, for the first time in the East,
opens up a new field. Lincoln j. Carter,
the author, will no doubt soon find
many imitatOrs, as IN western metrop-
oils undoubtedly has much material to
work upon. Mr.. Carriers productions
are always marked with a completeness
not often found in similar productions,
us he not only writes his own plays, but
designs all the scenery, costumes. stage
mechanism and electrical appliances.
The story of the play is effective,
although sensational. 1t is filled with
thrilling episodes that are greeted with
fleafening applause The scene opens
in Chicago upon the night of the great
fire. The flames cast IA lurid reflection
through The windows of the office OF
first act can be heard the falling of
buildings, the roar of approaching
flames, the clatter of horses hOofs on
The pavement and the cries of fright
The second act occurs twenty-nne
years later, with a hird's-eye view of the
city from the roof of the Masonic Tenn
pie roof garden. The climax of this
act is the hurting from the roof top OF
Rohert Sage, the son of William Sage,
who had been killed In the first act, and
whose money furnishes one Of the
motives of the drama. The next act
discIoses a view of Washington street.
which affords an opportunity for the
introduction of some clever specialties,
but the most sensational scene OF the
play is that of the drawbridge at Whit
ing. The play closed with a view OF
the Court of Honor at the Worlds Fair.
The play was splendidly acted, the
company being an excellent one in
every particular.

COL. MnuRE,s LECTURE.

The lecture at the opera house last
Tuesday evening by Col. Moore was quite
a success in view OF the fact that the
weather had turned cold and damp max
ing it impossible for many who otherwise
would nave attended to do SO. Col. Moore
is an ex-soIdier and was for many years
editor OF the Kansas City Times. He lee
tured on the life OF Gen. 10 Shelby and
the last days of the Confederacy. His
manner of handling the subject in hand
and frequent references to dates plainly
proved him to be a man unusually well
read aud his language was choice and ele-
CANT, marking him as q man OF superior
education. After speaking on the life of
Gen. Shelby from the time of his birth at
Lexington, Kentucky, to his death at his
country residence in Bates county, on the
18th of last month, he paid a glowing
tribute to the memory of the old Confed-
crate cavalry leader. He then spoke of
the Confederacy, showing how. though
opposed by overwhelming odds, they
fought with undaunted spirit stubborniy
resisting every inc of ground until,
hemmed in on all sides, they stood at bay

his vote and used his influence for every
bill that was introduced, which had for
its object the public veal.
Senator Vandiver exerted a wide in
f~iuence in the upper house of the
general assembly. His rugged hon
esty, his excellent ability and high
moral character gave him prestige
that few of the senators could claim.
A prominent Missouri democrat, who
does not hold office and does not want
to hold Office, said to the writer:
Ex-senator Vandiver has worked
harder and has been more nearly right
on every question han any man in the
senate. He has o made Il mistake or
taken n false position oil any question
brought up. The lobbyists fear but
respect him, aud when a senator has a
pet bill TO introduce, no mans influence
is more eagerly sought than Major
Vandiver's."
Major Vandiver was not not only an
honest senator, but he was also a sue
cessful one. lie secured the passage.
OF the bill to convert the Confederate
Home into a state institution, and to
him more than to any living man is
due the passage of the bill aud the
guarantee of the support of the home
for disabled veterans. He also intro
duced and secured the passage of a
bill exempting the inmates of the
soldiers home from statutory %restric-
tions relating To beneliciaries of
eleemosynary institutions.
He introduced and secured the pas
sage of the famous antitrust bill, with
the exception of the fellow-servant bill
the most important bill passed by both
houses.
He introduced and secured the pas
sage of a bill amending the law
regulating special charter cities, and
providing for the collection of delln-
quent personal taxes.
He introduced and secured the pas
sage of Il bill transferring S25, 900
from the insurance to the revenue fund.
He served on several important
committees, and was chairman of one
of the leading ones. lie never missed
a roll-call or a vote during the session,
and voted NO on the bad bills and YES
on the good ones. He well merits the
encomium, s'Well done, good and

JUDGE WILLIAM t. WOOD.

Thursday Judge William T. Wood, than whom lexington has moi a more
honored citizen, reached the Ssh milestone on his journey through life. He was
born in Mercer county, KY, March 18th, 1909. He is twelve years older than the
state of Missouri, and W a n Of her pioneer lawyers. In July, 1921, he located
at Liberty. AT that time he and Amos R@s, who then lived in this city, were
the only practcing lawyers west of BoonvnIe and Fayette. MIR. Rees. in 1890,
removed to Liberty. about the same time General Atchison arrived there and u
couple of years later General Donphan and Governor Burnett also located in
Liberty sixty-fve years ago, and all of them became prominent men,. Judge
Wood is the only n of the five still living, and he, having retired
from public life, can look back o a career of which any man might well feel
proud. In every position he has been called to oil, he has been conspicuous a a
man of highest regard for the right and unwavering in his efforts TO maintain
it. Judge Wood las been a resident of Lexington many years, and has hosts of
friends, who join the INTELLIaENCER in the wish that the evening of his
life may be q cloudess one.

Cass, johnson and Lafayette coun-
ties have cause to congratulate them
selves on the selection they made last
tall of Hon. Cbas. II. Vandiver for
state senator. Senator Vandiver has
turned ont to be an all round, satisfae-
tory representative. PLAIN and unas-
summing he yet has easily taken n
foremost place among his colleagues.
| Not a continuous or obtrusiye talker,
when occasion demanded it he has
known how to command the attention
of the senate and galleries, and his
speech on the Confederate Home is
spoken of as full of ~eloquence and
patbos. Serious when business was to
be transa cted, in moments of relaXa-
ton he has been one of the wittiest
and most numerous members OF the
senate. HIS old maids bill brought
him numerous offers of marriage, from
ocean to ocean, and his rabbit story
and songs were called for ut every gath
ering. In legislation hlS vote was ever
found recorded in the interest of the
people and TO him, probably more than
any one other senator, is the state
indebted for some amendments to the
anli-poOl and trust law which will
prove valuable to the people. We
have carefully observed Senator Vandi-
ver's course during the recent session
and it affords us pleasure Inns to be
able fairly and trutlfully to commend
him TO his constituents of the 9Th SEN
atorial district.
