UNABLE TO AGREE ON NAME
OF PROPOSED new TOWN.
Split in Temperance Faction Results
in Advantage to Saloon Elc-
ment in Jennings.

Disagreement over name for a pro-
posed new municipality in st. Louis Coun-
ty has resulted in the temporary advan-
tage of the saloon clement in Jennings.
When the saloon was opened several
months ago the temperance citizens of
Jennings and Woodland decided that the
only way they could close the saloon
would be by incorporating the two places
as one town. hoping to get enough votes
to vote down a local option law.
The temperance faction was Il unit when
1t came to deciding that there should be
a municipality. but when It came 10 choos-
ing a name 1t divided into four factions.
The Jennings crowd wanted the name re-
tanned. Part of the Woodland crowd want
ed the name of Woodland retained. an
other part wanted the name of Camera,
in honor OF local dry-plate industry, Sc
lected, while still another wanted 1t called
Ben Avis. the name Of the Post Office.
The factions also disagreed as to which
element should be represented in the per-
sonnet of the first officers of the proposed
town. The combined population of the
two places is about LOO 1t Is said that,
If an agreement Is not reached shortly,
there will be two separate Incorporated

Lindell Hotel Conference of Re-
publican Politicians Starts
Trouble.
WISHES TO BE CHAIRMAN.
Clifton Hill Man Denounces
Proposition to Let Federal
OfficehOlders Run the
Party.

NO Federal officials for State chair
is opposed to the programme which was
framed at the Lindel Hotel last Monday
by prominent Republican politicians who
gathered there when State Chairman
Atkins returned from Washington.
Thomas r. Mayo, who formally an
nounced his candidacy for the State chair
manship yesterday. does So on the anti
Federal job platform. He is one of the
best known Republicans in the State. has
always been a warm personal and political
friend Of State Chairman Atkins. and says
that until he knew certainly that Mr..
Atkins was not going to ask for reelection
he did not announce his candidacy.
II am a candidate for State chairman.
subject to the good will of the next State
Convention said AR. Mayo. MY friends
have been after me to declare myself for
some time, but I did not care to do so
until 1 was sure that Mr.. Atkins did not
seek reelection.
From what 1 can learn some of the
present prominent Federal officials and
their friends expect to nominate a Federal
official for State chairman. l am opposed
to this sort of thing on principle. The
d
and carable does not alter the case one
whit. The practice of politics has always
shown that such a course leads to fac
tionalism and discord, which cannot help
the party in a general election. though It
may rebound to the benefit of the men
concerned when 1t comes to controlling
patronage.
II am not and never have been Federal
officeseeker, though I was forced to take
the Clifton Hill postmastership when my
brother simply left it to come to st. Louis
and work. II am elected State chairman
1t will be in order to lend my best en-
ergies and influence toward carrying the
State at the general election. 1t is about
time that Federal patronage be eliminated
from consideration BY the party; / Ian am
site view fits any mans foot, why let 1t
hurt. 1t is sound politics. I am going to
the people on this proposition and see
what they think about it,
Mr.. Mayo is best known In North ana
Southeast Missouri. While his home is In
Clifton Hill. he spends great deal OF
time in the lumber regions Of the State
and travels over the entire State. He has
always taken lively interest in politics.
He has enough money on hand to keep

will be serious matter.

a very popular citizen. He made big

that he has decided not to run for State

FR11Ls OF FASHION.
The Rage for Wrist Bags, Fancy Belts
and Floral Ornaments for
the Hair.

Extravaganza seems to run riot in
the new wrist bags so generally worn,
and you are learning not to be sur
prised at the prices, which runs up well
into the hundreds. One hundred dol
lars for diminutive gray suede bag
with plain gilt mounting and without
any jewels impresses you as rather
dear, but, of course, the gilt turns out
to be solid gold, says the New York
Sun.
The beaded bags with silver gilt
mountings are very much in demand
and the woman who can resurrect one
from her treasure chest of years ago
is most fortunate, provided it is one of
the flower designs in bright colors.
There are beaded purses, too, and flow
er beaded card cases as well. Ostrich
is the latest thing in skins for this
purpose, and it is extremely pretty,
the marks of the plucked feathers
showing very effectively.
The wrist bags are in square and
oblong shapes, some of which in suede
are decorated with cut steel nail heads
and imitation gems up to the point of
$50. But it is in this department as in
everything else; you can pay any price
within your limit from two dollars up,
yet it is very demure little leather
bag you can get for two dollars.
The fancy belts in the shops are
| most attractive in silk elastic of diff
ferent colors, stitched with jewels and
steel nail heads arranged in design
and mounted on a handsome buckle,
which is sometimes of velvet with the
same jewel decoration.
These belts vary in width and style,
some of them pointing down in front.
Steel on black velvet is in great favor
again and is especially effective in the
belts.
: Silk belts with tab ends at the back
and covered with stitching come in
great variety of shapes, either black or
white.
Wreath effects in flowers are per-
haps the latest things for the hair;
yet variety is the rule and no one style
prevails. Twisted ribbon may form
the body of the wreath, the flowers be-
ing arranged at one side.
! The stems of the flowers also make
pretty wreath, the flowers being In
bunch at each side, but this style is
rarely becoming. What is worn in the
hair, anyway, is matter of that
which is most becoming.
Large black Alsation bows have not
gone out of fashion altogether, and
you may wear 1yaway bow of white
tulle if you like, or one single rose at
any point on your head, whichever
adds most to your charms.
1t seems to be fact, however, that
flowers in some form are the latest
hair ornaments, barring the ieweled
ornaments, which none save the few
/ possesses; but there are also gauzy
butterflies with shimmering spangled
decoration.
