BABY WAS NOT HURT.
Infant Girl Found Seated in Corner
Of Room After Gas Stove
-s N Ex0IodAa

Des Moines, Nov. 17.-An explosion
of a gas stove in the home OF D. @. Nc
Gown, 1917. Twenty-ninth street, blew
a gas stove to pieces, shattered every
window pane in the kitchen and
smashed the furniture in general, but
threw the 13-months-old daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. McCown into the corner
Of the room unframed.
The infant girl, whose innocent am.
bition to initiate her mother in the op.
Grafton Of the gas stove had caused
the explosion, suffered not a bruise, al
though the escaping gas caused her ia
become slightly Ill for short time
after the accident.
Those who viewed the demolished
kitchen shortly after the explosion, de.
clare that an older and heavier person
would have been killed by one Of the
flying pieces OF iron. The light weight
of the child permitted her to be thrown
by the conclusion of the air and saved
her from injury.
Mrs. McCown had lit one Of the up
per burners Of the gas stove in prepar-
alton for some cooking and had step
ped out in the yard, leaving the baby
in apparent safety. There was no posi-.
bility Of the child reaching the fire
NOR did the mother believe that the
youngster knew enough to turn any OF
the other burners.
ut was one Of the strangest occur
rences that have ever SEEN" said
Mr.. McCown last evening. Il was
called home from the Office and ex.
pected to see very little, but the sight
of the kitchen was alarming.
when Mrs. McCown came into the
house, the baby was seated in cor.
ner only three feet from where the
stove had been. The only cause for the
accident that we could assume is that
the girl had turned on the burner for
the oven to the stove. After the ex.
plosion this burner was found open.
The girl evidently had noticed her
mother operate the stove and had at
tempted to initiate her. Naturally,
when the oven had filled with gas,
the escaping gas ignited and the ex-
plosion occurred.
I'VE called doctor Immediately,
but he could find no injuries. The
baby was sick for while on account
of the gas. She seemed to be delighted
afterward, however, when shown the
damage she had caused"

FORMER oTTUMWA WOMAN
MAKES FAVORABLE IMPRESS
SION IN PORTLAND.

Mrs. Clifford Snowden, formerly
Miss Lena CASTOR Of this city, who is
reader of ability, is attracting much
attention in Portland, Maine. where
she has given many OF her readings,
ences. Mrs. Snowden appeared re
Gently in recital and in speaking OF
her work the Portland Evening Elk
press and Advertiser says:
1T is rarely that Portland people
are privileged to be present at such 6
thoroughly artistic evenings enter
tainnaent as that which was given at
the st. Lawrence church, when Enoch
Arden was read by Mrs. Clifford
Snowden, with musical setting, by
Strauss, played by DR.. latham True.
1t was known that Mrs. Snowden had
been most fortunate in her training
and that she pos essed remarkable
talent for this line OF work, but even
her warmest admirers were quite I'm
prepared for the perfect rendition, the
artistic appreciation of values and the
literary and dramatic ability dis.
played from the opening to the clos
ing lines of Tennyson's beautiful and
always touching poem.
"She was gowned in a white chiffon,
with touches of pink, single ninl.
rose in her dark hair, pale pink
coral necklace about her neck and
sofet pink messaline massed at the
waist and finishing the surplice effect
of the, gown. Mrs. Snowden's features
are of the refined, sensitive and
artistic type, the expressions come
and go with every motion, and no ber-
ter opportunity could be had for ones
powers than that given in Enoch Ar
den. In gesture, facial expression and
vocal work she left nothing to be de.
sired. She has an exquisitely mod.
ulated voice, voice that appeals to
one instantly and pulls on ones heart
strings, voice that carries q message
to each and every person in the audi
ence, and in the entire evenings work
there was not line that was over
done, nor gesture too much or a pose
too dramatic. There was harmoni-
GUS balance and shading and an at,
tention to detail that marks the true
artist, and 1t is safe to say that Enoch
Arden has never been given in Port.
land before with so fine effect as given
by Mrs. Snowden."

CHRISTMAS CRY
IS SHOP EARLY
"sTEP LIVELY AND AVOID THE
CRUSH" is SLOGAN OF
LOCAL MERCHANTS.

"Step lively and avoid the crush" IL
on the lips of the local merchants and
they are saying 1t to all prospective
Christmas shoppers. Preparations
for the k-Adling of the enormous
Christmas business being made
already. -everal of the downtown
stores will put their Holiday stocks on
sale within short time and then the
rush will be on. Immense shipments
of toys have been arriving for some
time and will continl to come until
latter the holidays.
1t is the prediction Of the different
merchants in the city that the Christ
mas trade this year will be greater
than at any other time in the past and
they have accordingly filed their
warehouses and stock rooms All the
merchants say they are ready for the
heavy influx OF the holiday trade. The
favorable weather the last three
weeks has proved beneficial to the
stores, and 1t is already noticeable
gun. Toys and gifts are rapidly leav-
ing the stores in the hands of pur-
chasers, and the midwinter stock is
being placed on the counters and
shelves.
BY buying their stock earlier in the
season than usual, the merchants are
hoping to obliterate the usual rush
that accompanies the two weeks be-
fore Christmas. They hope to give
their patrons the opportunity to pur-
chase early, if they wish, and an ad-
vantage in the choice of their presents
earlier than the last hour buyer.
Many new lines of merchandise will
be placed on sale this year for the
accommodation of the holiday traders.
New decorations are being received
daily by the merchants and the last
of next week the stores will take on a
Christmas appearance. It is then
that the trade will begin to come in
rushes and will gradually increase UNI
til after New Year. Several of the
larger stores announce the fact that
Santa Claus will appear in their win
dows early this season as contract
has been signed with him whereby he
will give Ottumwa prevalence over
the other cities Of the United States,
The general depression of trade dur
ing the summer months has entirely
disappeared, say the merchants, with
the advent of the cooler weather, and
all possible means are being resorted
to by them to provide proper facilities
and fully accommodate the heavy holt
day trade.
