MISS SINGLETON'S Death.
Probably Caused BY an Overdose OF Nor
Phine Taken For Insomnia.


The people of Tltusville' were simply
astounded Tuesday afternoon, when the
sad news of the death of Miss Katie
Singleton was first known here by the
arrival of her brOther-in-law, Mr.. &. &.
Curtiss, from Jacksonville, who brought
the body of the deceased young lady here
for burial in LAGRANGE cemetery.
Miss Singleton died Monday morning
at the GlenwoOd House, Jacksonville,
where she was visiting her sister, Mrs.
Curtiss, who has been proprietor of the
house since she left Titusville some
months ago.
1t is not supposed that she committed
suicide; but il is believed that she simply
took an overdose of the drug for insom-
MIA without being thoroughly acquainted
with the deadly nature of the drug,
when taken in large quantities.
The following account of this sad death
is taken from the Times Union and Citi-
zen of Tuesday morning:
"For several days the young lady had
complained of inability to sleep, and had
been taking morphine to get the needed
rest. Yesterday morning, when her sister
went to call her, she failed to answer, and
her bedroom door was found TO be locked.
This was about S:l5 O'Clock. Her sister
then went around on the porch, and fore
ing the window open, found Miss Single
ton on the bed, apparently lifeless.
''ln the slop jar Was package marked
morphine and the entire contents were
gone. No druggists name Was on the
package and it was impossible TO tell how
much she had taken.
a physician was summoned and ar
rived at about $50 O'clock. The young
lady was still unconscious, when he ar
rived, and he at once began operations
with stomach pump and followed this
with artificial respiration. From the
washings of the stomach he found that
the morphine had all been absorbed into
her system and the task of restoring her
TO consciousness was hopeless.
Everything possible was done to re-
store the unfortunate young lady; but
she never regained consciousness, and at
o o'clock she was pronounced dead.
Her relatives know of no reason why
she should have taken morphine in the
morning, as it became evident she had
done shortly before discovered. That life
was not gone when her sister found her,
showed that the dose was not taken the
previous night before retiring.
Beyond knowing that she had been
very nervous and complained of being
unable to sleep, her relatives do not
know why she should have taken the
| dose"
Miss Singleton Was % years of age.
/ She retained Titusvile as her home,
where she spent most of her life; but the
past three years had been spent in Macon
/ and Jacksonville. Her mother and two
brothers live at LaGrange, while her eld-
er brother, Sherman, is now at Palm
| Beach for the winter.
! The burial service was at Latirange
cemetery at o'clock Tuesday after
noon, Rev. John 4. Hughes, of this place,
officiating. The relatives Of the deceased
have the deepest sympathy of all their
/ friends on account of this young lady :
untimely death.

EMORIAL DAY.

Gov. Barnes Proclaims the Annual Event
of Respect to National Loyalty.
Gov. Barnes yesterday issued this
proclamation proclaiming May 30 as
Memorial day:
PROCLAMATION,
In the passing of the year the bloom
ing flowers upon every side once again
reminds us of the near approach of a
day hauowed by custom and made
sacred by loving tribute to the noble
soldier dead of the greatest nation
among all the mighty governments of
the earth,
BY custom, by order OF the com
mander-in-chief of the G.. A. R., by
statute and general observance, May
30th has become a day dedicated to
patriotism and love of couDtry-a day
when a grateful nation puts aside the
strife and turmoil of life, and pays
tribute to those noble, true-hearted
men who gave their lives that the ma
tion might live.
Therefore, l, G. Nj. Barnes, govern
or of the territory of Oklahoma, do
set apart and proclaim
"Wednesday, May 30, 1900, Memoir
ial day, as genera holiday and ur-
gently request all of the people of the
territory that upon that day they re-
frain from their usual avocationS and
spend the day in manner appropri-
ate to the spirit of a grateful and rev.
erent people.
Let the graves of the sleeping he
roes scattered upon every hillside and
through every valley of the land be
strewn with sweet scented flowers
and shadowed by the stars and stripes;
let the people gather together in pub
lie worship or patriotic assem- blage,
where, with song and prayer, music
and oratory will be told the story of
valor and heroism and fitting tribute
be paid all those who offered up their
lives to perpetuate a nation, TO
assure to eternal mission of one
country under the flag and TO give the
heritage Of freedom to all the multi
tudes which are to people the hills
and valleys not only the mighty con-
tinent but OF the distant isles of the
sea, under the protection OF rhe glor-
ious stars ana stripes.
Let not the sleeping place of one
hero be overlooked. and while we pay
tribute to the dust of those who are
encamped in the little green tents of
the grave, let us give kindly thought
to the comrade who walks by our side
with gray hair and halting step and
offer prayer for the protection and
success of those who are once again
gathered under the glistening white
tents of the field in the far off islands
of the Pacific, and, as the incense OF
blossoms and loving tribute mingled
with fervept prayers arise together
let the sentiment everywhere be the
same-one country, one flag, one pur-
pose, one God.
Done at Guthrie, this the sth day OF
G. M. BARNES,
Governor.
