Jump up" but with a sweet, delicate odor.
The smaller house is devoted to supplying
peoples tastes in other directions. At pres
ent it is filled with growing lettuce of the
choicest and tenderest kind, but as soon as
this crop is cut the space will be given up
to the cultivation of big crop OF early
tomatoes.
The down town houses have a greater
variety OF plants. including practically all
of the potted plants. Here are calas, prim-
roses. Easter lilies, hyacinths, palms, smi.
lax, etc. These houses keep Miss Schleider,
or just simply "Mary" as her friends like
to call her, busy most of the time, while
John" is banished to the other houses ex 8.
cepi at meal times. The distance between
the different houses Is rather too great for
convenience, however, and the proprietors
expect to move the down town houses out
with the others in the spring.
In case this removal is made their plans
are not yet fully matured as to what ar
raDgements will be made for the down town
trade, bat either single house and an office
will be left at the corner of King and Wash
ington streets. or else, which is perhaps
more likely, room will be secured in the
business part of the city where an Office
will be kept and also where limited num-
Der of potted plants, palms, cut flowers,
ETC., can be carried in stock.

Mrs. Allen r. Rood Meets an Awful
Death.

Mrs. Allen r. Rood Meets an Awful
Death.
Fire was discovered this morning in
the residence of A. r. Rood, 529 Adams
street, and Mrs. Rood was found lying
in helpless condition on the floor with
her clothing entirely burned from her
person. The fire was discovered by
Miss Clara Schly, who Immediately
called for help.
The story told by Mrs. Rood is as fol-
lows: IL went into the woodshed with
lamp, filled it and returned to the
house. Just as shut the door behind
me tripped on a rug, hitting the lamp
against the stove, breaking 1t and spat- :
tering the oil all over myself and about
| the room, which was Immediately ig-
nited by the fire from the stove"
1t seems that Mrs. Rood tried to ex-
tinguish the flames in the room. and in
this way her clothing caught on fire.
There being no one at home at the GOss
residence on the north, and as Mrs.
Northway, living next door south, was
upstairs, the cries of Mrs. Rood could
not be heard and it was only by acci-
dent that she was discovered as soon as
she was by Miss Schly, who knew moth
ing about the fire until she opened the
door to enter, having gone there on an
errand.
Drs Crum and Knapp were summon
ed and found the unfortunate woman in
precarious condition, and have but
little hopes for her recovery. Mrs Rood
is so years of age and has lived in Owos-
so for a number of years. Her many
friends will be sadly shocked to hear Of
this terrible accident She is the moth
er of Wm Rood, residing on North
Washington street, and Mrs. j. w. Hib-
bard, of Bennington. Mr.. Rood was at
his farm in Bennington at the time of
the accident
The damage to the building is slight,
the fire being put out by the use of a
Babcock extinguisher. No water was
thrown.
LATER:-Mrs. Rood died shortly after
1 o'clock. Her husband reached home
a few minutes before she breathed her
last. The heartfelt sympathy of the en-
tire community goes out to the bereav-
ed husband and children in their sad
affliction
