OBITUARY..

DIED: Tuesday evening Feb, 4,
1908, at 8 100 o'clock, at her home
in south part of town, Mrs. Myrtle
Roddy, aged 26 years.
The deceased was married Dec,
25, 1898 to Joe Roddy who proceed
ed her to the grave two years ago.
She was a faithful wife, devoted
mother and a member of the Meth
odist Church. Her death came as
a surprise to all, she having been in
good health seemingly the morning
of the day of her death. She had
just finished getting her children
ready for school and they were
almost ready to leave when she was
taken seriously ill, only a few
hours having elapsed before she
died. Two orphan children, JOS
eph age 6 years and Helen age 8
years and one small brother, Mil
lard Raney, are left behind. Life
will never be quite the same to
those who knew her, while those
who were nearest to her will long
for her with Vulnerable longings-
long for mothers council and
advice, and a sisters gentle and
loving sympathy. Her mortal re-
mains were shipped to Augusta,
on Wednesday where the inter-
ment took place Wednesday eve
ming in the Augusta cemetary.
Among those accompanying the
body were: Mesdames DR. Hargis
Mollie Perkins, and j. A. Cullum
and Rev. 81. T. Raney.

Mr.. and Mrs. V. r. billiard,
after a few days visit to their
daughter, Mrs. W. A. Smith, of
this city, returned Monday to their
home at Cherry Valley. They
were accompanied to Wynne by
their youngest daughter, Miss
Annie.
When a man in search of home
or business location goes to town
and finds everybody full of hope
and enthusiasm over the prospects
of the place, he, too, soon becomes
imbued with the same spirit, drives
his stakes and goes to work with
equal interest.
The trouble with most cough
remedies is that they constipate.
Kennedys Laxative Cough Syrup
acts gently but promptly on the
bowels and at the same time it stops
the cough by soothing the throat
and lung irritation. Children like
it. Sold by Howell Drug Company.

Postmaster, j. B. Neal, desires
to call attention to the practice of
some patrons of rural delivery of
placing loose coins in their boxes
each time they desire to dispatch
letters instead of supplying them
selves with postage in advance of
their needs.
This practice imposes undue
hardship on rural carriers in re-
moving loose coins from boxes
and delays them on the service of
their routes.
The postmaster, therefore, ur-
gently requests that patrons of
rural delivery provide themselves
and keep on hand a supply of
stamps consistent with and in ad-
vance of their needs. 1t is also
very desirable that rural patrons
place in their mail boxes small
detachable cups of wood: or tin in
which 70 place coins, when nece-
ssary, in purchasing supplies of
stamps.

cross to all our problems. Other things

have been understood and it's preclpts
carried into practice it has constituted

society will of necessity be a corrupt

could have saved it, it would have
been saved long ago. Military prowess
cannot save it. The great powers have
come and gone burying the sweet
wales of the earth in blood and leaving
in their wake despoiled kingdoms,
overturned thrones and Impoverished
n inslaved people, but they have
lone but little to lift humanity,
weary up to the light that breaks from
the throne of God. Witness the
Caesars, Charlemagne, Charles v,

empires are lost. We remember them

through slaughter to a throne" not
because they were good.

the world nearer to God. Political

MRS. MYERS HELD
GUILTY OF ARSON
SENSATIONAL MT. PLEASANT
TRIAL is BROUGHT TO CLOSE
WITH CONVICTION.

Mt. Pleasant, Dec. 21.-The verdict
in the celebrated Myers cast was re-
turned by the jury Saturday evening
at 6:35 o'clock, after it had beer out
owe twenty-five hours. and was that
they found the defendant guilty of the
CRIME charged in the Indictment
arson. There were not very many peo-
pie in the court room when the YER
dict was read, as the fact that the
jury had come to an agreement was
not generally known. The defendant,
Anna Myers, was present and her
three small sons, her husband and her
aged father, and when the fatal docu-
ment was read she collapsed and the
stolid Indifference which she had
maintained throughout the trial was
completely broken down. Her three
boys, realizing what the verdict meant
to their mother and to them, broke
down and cried pitifully, as did also
the husband and father. The court
o presented a scene which touched
the heart of the most Injured, sons,
husband and father all overwhelmed
by the awful fact which branded the
woman they were so near to as q
criminal.
The judge after receiving the yer
dict and after a consultation with the
attorneys, fixed Jan. 13 as the date of
hearing a motion for a new trial, and
should there be no new trial granted,
the sentence will be passed at that
time. The defense will prepare a mo-
ton for a new trial and present 1t at
lat time, and should this be refused,
will probably appeal to the supreme
court.
A Celebrated Case.
The arrival Of the jury at a verdict
marked the elimination Of one of the
most celebrated and closely contested
trials that has ever been held in this
oorntr. The case has attracted atten-
ton far and near on account of the
peculiar nature of the case. On the
night of July s the defendant set
fire to the home of her stepdaughter
and her husband, by means of kero-
sene, having first tried to. chloroform
them. However, the husband, Mr..
Levisay, discovered the fire in time
to save the house and the lives of his
wife and children. Mrs. Myers lived
a considerable distance from this
! home and in the morning tracks were

Word was received here last week
that Mr.. Mccormick was fatally hurt

sister, Miss Eva Mccormick of Chi
cago and mother, Mrs. Florence Nc

scene. This is the first word heard
from them since they left. Mr.. Me-

Levisay home. Other evidence was
found to indicate that she had done
the deed and she was arrested and
charged with arson, and later confess
sed, but denied having had any
knowledge of what she was doing at
the time. She was bound over to the
grand jury, which returned the indct-
ment of arson. About this time, and
before the trial in the district court.
she was taken to Des Moines for an
operation, and was just out of the hos

Trial Hard Fought.
The trial has throughout been very
closely contested and has been a very
expensive one both to the defense and
to the state one witness for the state
alone costing 800 per day. The best
legal talent was employed and every
effort was put forth by both sides. The
defense based their claims on the
grounds of insanity and their teBti-
mony was for the most part Of experts
who had examined her shortly after
she QaC committed tHe HeGG. w. =.
Kopp, Of this city and Frank Thomp-
son, of Burlington, were the counsel
for the defense and County Attorney
Gray and c. C. McCoid for the state.
The trial itself consumed two weeks,
with several night sessions of court.
The case went to the jury Saturday
afternoon after the arguments were
heard and they stayed in the jury
room continuously until Saturday aft
er, going out only to meals in COM
pany of the bailiff. 1t took eighteen
ballots to reach a verdict. II Is I'M

jury was about equally divided at
first and that when the change came
it came all at once. The jury were M.
