She had fallen on the walk, was stunned. and rolling into the gutter was drowned in the water that was running in un- usual volume. Miss Lesure was a boarder at the home of Mrs. Adelarde Durfee, at 119 School street, and had left the house at the usual time to go to the mill She had not been out of the house minute when she fell. boarding place. The body was not discovered however, until probably twenty minutes later. From the state ments of persons, made later in the day, it is evident that several must have passed the spot where Miss Le- sure was dying or already dead, with out noticing her prostrate form.
 It was dark and raining at the time and though several say that they saw something lying beside the walk, they had not the slightest idea that it was a human being It was near daylight when MT. Gilbert same along.
 Dr. J. B. Kent, medical examiner viewed the body, giving his opinion that Miss Lesure met death as de- scrlbed. There were no bruises on the body
 The body was later removed to the undertaking rooms of Ballard & Clarke. Miss Lesure, who has rela- tives in Pomfret. has lived in Putnam about seven years. She was employed in the silk mill a spooler and is said to have been one of the most rapid workers in the department. She was a young woman of excellent char acter and her death was a shock to many friends. It was also one of the most peculiar deaths ever recorded in this city.

ALL SORTS OF WEATHER.
Getting About on Thursday Matter of
 Difficulty and Danger.

1 It was something awful -, on Thursday The man that regulates the weather had more unkind things said 1 about him in a few hours than has 1 ever been said to all the baseball um- pires in the world-and about every thing sayable has been said to them. One could slide wade or swim about anywhere in the borough. and about 1 everyone who Ventured to come out on 1 the streets did one or all of the three. and some people did them all in rapid succession. It was like picking your way through a river on foot. Every street was little waterway all by it. i self and ankle deep with slush. The rainfall was so heavy and the ground i Is frozen so hard that it was non- absorbent. and that caused the trouble. The rain formed brooks and the brooks formed lakes everywhere. Ice-coVered walks became as slippery as glass and added to the difficulty of getting about. Sawdust and ashes helped relieve the condition to some extent, but not enough to save many persons from l getting falls. There were so many places where the walking was treach- erous that many fell although no one was reported seriously injured in Dan ] ielson. Reports of accidents of a seri- ous and even fatal nature, however, came from surrounding towns as the result of the storm. Conditions be- came so bad at noon that many of the female employees in stores and factories i were unable to get to their homes for dinner In spite of the fact that it rained hard for many hours, there is still much snow in places

 Hourly Service Continued.
 The indications are that the hourly service on the Providence and Daniel son road will be continued this winter without interruption. It has been the custom in past years to give only a two hours service at this time of the winter, but this change is usually in- augurated before this time.
 Storm Killed Trade.
 The stores were practically deserted during all of Thursday and the busi- ness men closed for the day with their receipts about as small as is expected at any time during the year. The walking was so bad that it killed trade.

Prescott, July 27.
 The big day.

That you cannot depend on one crop alone, and that you must have live stock to keep land rich these were the two big lessons Wisconsin farmers learned thes e last thirty years that our South ern farmers are also getting by heart. There's one other lesson that the Wisconsin farmer earn ed in the very beginning that we are not yet conceited enough to recognize. From the very first he decided that he had a brain worth too much to be run one-horse power. Just as the Southern farmer would instantly recognize that his time and intelligence are too valuable to be frittered away driving dogs or calves in har- ness, as child might do, so the Western farmer instantly pre- ceives that he can't waste his time driving a single animal.

 This is a step in the right di- rection. The masonic order of this town has grown to the mag nitude that it needs a home of it's own. Other towns no larger than Prescott have beautiful lodge halls belonging to the diff ferent organizations, and why not Prescott? She has the wealth and push, and..why not get busy?

0P|E READ
 TAKE 1T BACK"

For many years many have ac- cused Opie Read, the novelist, of being the chief detractor of Ark ansas, an indictment which his friends have assailed as a false accusation where only innocent fun was intended at the expense of types no more common here than in the mountains and "backwoods" of any State. To all it will be interesting to note that he proposes to make amends to those who think he has slander- ed the State. The National Magazine of Boston, Joe Mitchell Chapple's magazine, makes the following announcement:
 We are mighty glad to say that Opie Read, whose wit and sarcasm has ofttimes been turn ed upon conditions in Arkansas, is now taking 1t all back and has written a great booster story for the National Magazines great booster number. Can any thing be of more importance and interest than this?
 of hardly secondary import ance is the second great booster article for Arkansas by Mir. w. R. Lighton, who few months ago wrote the story, My Arkan- sas Farm, but this time he is contributing for the National Magazine and not the Saturday Evening Post. '"

SMALL BOYS ESSAY

Here is a small boys essay on newspapers, and we think that he ought to make a good editor when he grows up.
 Newspapers are sheets of.pa- |pers on which stuff to read is printed. The men look 1t over Ito see if their name Is in 1t, but Il don't think God does. The Bible says nothing about editors, land 1 have never heard of one |going to heaven. The first edi- |tor heard of was the fellow who wrote up the flood, and he has been here ever since. Some editors belong to the church and raise whiskers. All of them raise Cain in their neighborhood. Sometimes the paper dies, and then the people feel glad. but some one starts 1t up again. Edi- tors never went to school be- cause editors do not get licked. Our paper is a mighty poor one but We take it so ma can put it on her pantry shelf. Our edi- tor don't amount to mush, but pa said he had a poor chance when a boy. He goes without Iunderclothes in winter, has no socks and has his wife to support him. Pa has not paid
 ms subscription in five years and don't intend to. Exchange.
 The boy description of his
 Pa would fit a whole lot of people whom the editor knows very well.
