MET HORRIBLE DEATH.
Mrs. Ed. A. Steffin's Clothing
lgnited from Prairie Fire.
to Help His Mother.

Mrs. Ed. A. Steffin, living on t. Q
old Caruthers farm, four miles SOUTH
east of Butler, on Monday afternoon
took some water out to her husband
and bis father, W. NJ. Steffin, who
were sowing oats, a quarter OF mile
from the house. Mr.. Stefiin set fire
to a patch OF prairie grass and told
his wife she might scatter it, and
started on his trip across the field.
His attention was attracted to his
wife's condition, after turning at the
end of the row, a half quarter away.
He FASTENED to her assistance and
when he reached her all her clothing
was burned from her body except the
shoes and stockings, her flesh being
literally cooked. She bore up brave
ly and was able to walk to the house.
In telling OF the accident she said her
clothings were ablaze before she real
lied it, and she was unable to tear off
her dress, it being a new one, of
strong material. Her little four year
old son was alone with her and the
little hero tried in vain to assist his
mother, and she was compelled to
evade him, lest he too catch afire.
DR.. Lyle was summoned with all
possible dispatch, and dideverything
possible to relieve her suffering, but
she was in terrible agony until 3
o'clock Tuesday morning when death
relieved her.
Funeral services were conducted
from the Christian church in this city
by the pastor, Elder Williamson,
and the remains were inferred in Oak
Hill cemetery.
Miss Nellie Stevens was born in ILL.
nois in 1872. She came with her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. James Stevens,
to Bates county in March, 1882.
She was married to Z. A. Steffin In
1898. To this marriage four chill
dren were born, three boys and one
girl, thr Oldest being now 8 and the
youngest 4 years OF age. She was a
loving and dutiful wife and mother.
The distracted husband and mother
less ones have the sincere sympathy
OF all in their great bereavement.
The two grandmothers, Stetfins and
Stevens, will take the two youngest,
a girl and boy. The two Oldest boys
will remain with. the father.

While being initiated into the mys-
teries OF the Modern Woodmen OF

out the ritual of the organization
one OF hfs companions helped him
self to the contents OF his purse.
After the bandage had been removed
from Biddick's eyes he discovered his
loss and made a protest. Walter
Lennon WAS arrested on suspicion.

THE STRENUOUS LIFE.
A Great Strain.

No one disputes the fact that we are living in a rapid" age; 1t is rush, rush. rush from morning until night, and com petition is so fierce that the struggle does not cease until the machine Is worn out
 Women. too, even when surrounded by every comfort, become infected by the common spirit, and what with their clubs and many social duties. have no time to give thought to their physical well-being, until they are suddenly brought to a sharp realization of the fact that nothing In their lives is so important as attention to correct or rational living.
 It may surprise the reader to learn that women are more prone to piles than men, and in most cases because 1t is difficult to impress upon them the importance of regular movements of the bowels: irreg- ularity means straining at stool, and straining means piles. with the certainty funder the usual methods of treatment) with herr" by "usual methods'' is meant the application of salves and lotions, or Gas a last resorD surgical operation.

COTTON RECEIPTS
 WILL FALL SHORT
ALTHOUGH CROP IS LARGER THE REMOVAL OF FLOATING PRIV lLEoEs WILL LESSEN THE NUM- BIER OF BALES RECEIVED.

From present indications the cotton re- ceipts in Birmingham will fall far short of the receipts last year. The crop in this section is larger than 1t was last season, but several things have combined to make shortage here this season. Chief of these was the removal of float ing privileges on cotton shipped into Bir- mingham from points in Mississippi and cotton men say that this will cause a shortage of from 15,000 to 10000 bales in the city's receipts.
 The floating privileges have been re- stored on cotton brought in from points east of Amory Miss, but as most of the cotton came from points west of Amory, the restoring of rebilling privileges will not much increase the original estimates made for this seasons receipts. Yester- day and the past few days a great deal of the staple has been brought into Bir- mingham, but even at that the receipts are not nearly up to what they were at this date last year.
 About s5,OOO bales came into the city last season, and the decrease for this year is variously estimated at from 20 to 40 per cent. There is more cotton be- ing picked than last season in the sec tion from which Birmingham Is accus- toned to draw and the prices of the past few days have made it very active. At the same time it will not approach last years figures.
 Another thing that is cited as causing a falling off in our receipts, especially from the Coosa valley, is said to be the amount being used by the new Pell City mills.
 Even the wagon receipts in the city will not be as large as last season and 1902 was considered an unusually bad year. About 5000 bales were brought in in wagons last season, and the amount re- ceived up to now is much less than at the same date in 1902. Cotton buyers ac- count for this by saying that farmers in Jefferson county are giving up the rais- ing of cotton. One prominent buyer said yesterday that in what is known as Pos- sum valley, where a great deal of the staple used to be raised, there is not a single stalk this year.
