WOMAN FATALLY BURNED.
Awful Experience Of wife OF Oes
MoInes Travelling Man.

Awful Experience OF wire OF 0es
MoInes Travelling Man.
Des Moines.-Mrs. N. s. Wales.
wife of prominent travelling man,
was fatally burned while alone In ner
home, 1914 Ninth street. Seated IN
front of a crate fire, Mrs. Wales was
engaged shortly before 10 o'clock IN
cutting clippings from newspaper,
when one of the strips Of paper fell
forward into the CRATE, was ignited
and before Mrs. Wales could arise,
had set fire to her clothing.
Practically the whole Of Mrs. Wales
body is mass of scared flesh
Physicias in attendance say she can
live but a few hours. After her
blazing clothing had been extinguish-
ed by several men who came to her
rescue, Mrs. Wales was removed to
the J. Fickel home. 1910 Ninth street,
where she now Is, lowering between
life and death.
When the first horrible realization
OF her plight was impressed upon her
senses, Mrs. Wales rushed to the
kitchen Of her home, where, alone and
unassisted, she attempted to quench
the flames at the sink. She was I'M.
successful. Then the woman rushed
Dreaming to the front porch, a human
torch. A Ninth street car had just
left the end Of the line and had start
ed downtown. The motorman saw the
awful sight, then as rapidly as pos
sible stopped his car.
Reinforced by half dozen pas
sengers, the motorman leaped from
his car and went to the woman's as
sistance. In a few moment they sue
ceeded in quenching the flames which
by this time were dying down. Mrs.
Wales lay PROSTATE on the porch. AS
quickly as possible she was removed
to the Fickel home and physicians
summoned. They made her as com.
Portable as possible, but none OF
them expressed the belief that she
would recover.

on the long distance telephone and
was urged by both Weaver and Den

far refused to become candidate, but
will withhold his decision until later,
The announcement of Weaver for
governor aroused the ire of the demo-
Gratis in the river counties, the strong
hold of the party In Iowa. Dennison
Is a choice of the German element,
yet the fight would be drawn along
prohibition lines. which would, it is
feared, cause a division of the party.
White Is acceptable to both elements.

SON DIES As DID FATHER.
Keota Young Man Follows In Steps
of Suicide Parent.

Keota.-When the father of young
Claude Statler killed himself five
years ago the tragedy put so much
gloom into the life Of the lad that he
never shook it off, and it probably
prompted his suicide. He was found
in the rear end of the hardware store
in which he was employed. The
owner OF the store, Thomas Morris,
made an inspection of the premises
and in a rear room ran upon the
body of the boy, barely 81 years DID,
lying dead with % caliber rife near
him. He had shot himself In the
right temple and the bullet passed
through the head. There was no I'M
mediate cause for the suicide. The
young man was generally well
esteemed, he had a good position
and his affairs were all in good shape
as far as known. His habits had been
good, but a few nights ago he was
seen drinking heavily.
