Cedar Rapids, Aug. S1.--Mrs. Emma
York Hayes. the wife of George Hayes,
an engineer on the Rock Island, died
at her home, COS G avenue, as the
result of burns which she received
one morning last week, while lighting
a gasoline stove.
Her death is particularly sad. She
was 80 years old, the mother of three
small children, one of whom is six
months old. She arose early one
morning and lighted the fire with a
gasoline stick which she dropped on
the floor, and supposed it was ex-
tinguished. She was in her night
dress at the time. While she was
busy with the stove the flames from
the burning stick set fire to her night
dress and it blazed up suddenly infict-
ing terrible burns about her back.
She suffered terribly. For a while 1t
was hoped that she might recover but
the burns had been too severe. The
baby was weaned and is doing fairly
we'll; but it and the other two chill
dren were left motherless.
The funeral arrangements have not
yet been made.

Grinnell, Aug. 31.-Workmen are en-
gagged in raising too the top of the
smoke stack of the high school heating
plant a sheet metal extension which is
thirty feet long. This is necessary to
prevent the smoke from getting to the
ground and into the fresh air duct of
the school building.
AS originally built the stack is hard
ly as high as the school building and
is somewhat closely surrounded by
buildings and trees. This prevents the
smoke from rising freely and it has
been more or less of nuisance ever
since it has been in use.
