Mrs. Marsh Fatally Injured

Mrs. Hannah E. Marsh, residing
IN miles southeast of Laclede, was
fatally injured in runaway in La
clede about $3.50 Thursday morn
ing, She had come to town with
her son, E. r. Marsh, with load
of poultry. While the wagon was
being unloaded, a train came along
and whistled when just even with
the horses. The team started
to run toward the livery stable
corner. When they crossed the
railroad both Mr.. and Mrs. Marsh
were thrown back of the seat into
the bottom of the wagon and when
they turned the corner to go south
at the livery barn the wagon tipped
over with both underneath. The
lines wrapped around a wheel and
stopped the team before they were
dragged far.
Mr.. Marsh was dazed but not
seriously injured when rescued, but
Mrs. Marsh had suffered a fractured
hip and a severe cut across the
head, and other serious injuries.
She was taken into the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. J. w. Power and
surgeons summoned. After time
she recovered consciousness and it
was decided to take her home, but
she died few minutes before ar
irving there. Her advanced age
and the nature of her injuries made
it impossible for her to rally from
the shock.
Funeral arrangements had not
been made as we go to press. Mrs.
Marsh was highly esteemed
woman and her sudden death is a
shock to the whole community.
She was about seventy years old
and leaves three sons, Eugene,
who is in Oregon, Ernest and John
of LacIede, and two daughters,
Mrs. Mary Mary Welsh Of Laclede
and Mrs. Bertha Bolts of Meadville,
who have the sympathy of all in
their bereavement.

KNITTED SUITS ALWAYS GOOD
Probably the Most Practical and Com
Portable Garment That Child
Can Wear.
MARY DEAN.

There Is a slight tendency in the d.
rection of overdressing children just
how. Every now and then this ten
dency arises, only to be annihilated
by the fact that there are few women
so silly that they will overdress their
children. whatever they may do them
selves.
Real torture may be inflicted on a
sensitive child by dressing her in out
of date and clumsy garments when all
her school fellows are daintily clothed.
But what are wanted are not up-to-
date things. but simple and pretty
things.
The rise of the knitted coat for
adults has led directly to the use Of
knitted suits for children. They are
very comfortable. very warm, and as
durable as anything can be that is sub
mitted to the extreme chances Of a
child's day. For very small boys lit
tie Knockers and jerseys of knitted
wool are the most practical of gar
ments, especially for fat little boys,
who will come through any non-elas-
tic fabric much quicker than they will
come through knitted wool

New Materials for Dress.

There is a new material called We
lour de laine in mixed suiting almost
like a camel's hair. This is particu-
larly effective, striped diagonally with
white Another variation is in a heav-
Ter weave in tan. light blue or gray.
and is intended for evening coats. The
prices for these fabrics range between
$3.50 and SO a yard.
Somewhat on the same order is q
chenille corduroy, which had its or
igin in England. It has a heavily
raised cord and is two toned, the sur
face showing many white hairs. This
comes in heavier or lighter weight,
to be used for coats or suits, and is
priced at 81 yard.
The perennial blue serges are quite
surprising this year. One of the pref
test has a border of little square
blocks of color. royal blue, cerise, tan
or white; another has border of open
squaress- something like last seasons
linen suitings.
