Packing the Flowers.

Flowers which are sent through the
mails this summer are packed in the
most scientific manner to insure their
fragile petals from being affected by
the heat. One woman with a sum-
mer home where the gardens run riot
in a weather of blooms says that it
takes her about thirty minutes to ar
range each Of the several boxes of
overs which she sends to friends in
town each day. "It is always wisest," !"
she says. "to remove any superabund-
ance Of foliage from the stalks of the
flowers. A layer Of greenery should
first be laid at the bottom Of the box
on a triple thickness oe tissue paper,
the omission Of sufficient foliage Sc
verely handicapping the recipient
when eventually arranging the flow
ers. The heads OF the flowers should
be arranged on either side Of the box
with the stalks in the middle, the
center afterward being filled in with
short-stalked blooms. The stalks OF
the flowers should be wound around
with damp cotton batting. There is
nothing like it. for It makes the softest

VILLAGE WILL SELL LAMPS.
Will be Automatic and Burn out
When Lamp is Exhausted.
Contract Let.

Considerable fault has been found
during the past summer with the elec-
trio light service. In many places the
lights have been dim and the manage
ment OF the plant has received the blame
for the same. The village council con-
tend that the fault is not with the plant,
but that the dim light is caused by old
lamps which have been used longer than
they should have been. At their meet
ing last Monday evening the clerk was
authorized to enter into a contract with
the Monarch Electric & Wire Co. for a
supply of incandescent lamps. These
lamps will be warranted for from 700 to
1000 hours each, which is the limit for
any incandescent lamp. When the
lamps have burned that number OF hours
their voltage will have been decreased
20 per cent and they will go out, when
they must be replaced with new one.
This, the council contends, will obviate
the complaints in regard to the dimness
of the electric lights. The lamps will be
supplied to customers at 20 cents each
for candle power Of from to 20, and 80
cents each for candle power from 20 to
80. The village clerk will have custody
of the lamps and charge Of the sale Of
the same.

knew him, and will be greatly missed by
the people OF the county. He leaves q
widow and two sons, Harley and Emory,

Miss Lola Morrison of Covert
Shot Herself Last
Monday.
NO CAUSE KNOWN FOR DEED
Left Her Mother to go up Stairs to
do Work and Later Was
Found Dead.

Miss lola Morrison, one of Covert's
we'll known young women, shot herself
with a small rifle at an early hour last
Monday morning at her home and died
before doctor could reach her. All in
dications point to suicide, the muzzle OF
the rifle having been held to her temple
when the shot was fired, the bullet en-
tering the brain. No reason for the sui
eide has been given. The girl had been
helping her mother about the house and
went up stairs, saying she wished to
finish work there. Not returning, and
being wanted, her mother called, but
received no answer. Going up stairs,
the mother found the girl lying uncon-
scious in pool of blood, a % caliber
rife lying on the floor and giving testi-
mony as to the cause of the delay. Ply
sicians were called, but the girl died be-
fore they arrived
She was one OF Covert's highly re-
spected young ladies and her untimely
end has cast a gloom over the entire viii
lage.
She leaves two brothers and an aged
mother to mourn her death. The fun
eral was held Wednesday morning from
the Congregational church at Covert.

Gets From ) to IS Years.
Court Recommends
S Years.
KILLED PRENTICE At LAWTON
Was Charged With Murder. Plead
ed Guilty to Manslaughter.
Sentenced Saturday.

Charles S. Smith of Lawton, who kill
ed Capt. George III. Prentice of the same
place, was sentenced last Saturday by
Judge Des Voignes to the state prison
at jackson for a minimum period OF
three years and maximum period OF
10 years with a recommendation that
his time be FIVE years.
September Il Smith and Prentice got
into a wordy alteration over the discus
sion OF ball game in which the Lawton
team had been one of the contestants
The quarrel arose 10 the store of one OF
the Lawton merchants and became 90
obnoxious that the proprietor ordered
the men out OF his place OF business
They went out of doors, where the quar-
rel continued. Smith picked up ball
bat aud struck Prentice over the head
fracturing his skull. The injured man
died three days later.
A charge of murder was brought
against Smith, who waived examination
and was held for trial at the next term
of the circuit court When arraigned
in court, be entered a plea of not guilty
He then, by consent OF the prosecuting
attorney, withdrew his plea of not guilty
and pleaded guilty OF manslaughter and
was sentenced.
Smith had previously borne a good
reputation and had never been arrested
for any infraction Of the law. This and
the fact that the killing of Prentice was
done in the heat of passion and without
apparent premedtation influenced the
court in passing a comparatively mild
sentence.
