Marriage Altar and Grave Side by Side

A very sad bereavement has come to
our community in the death of Mrs.
Luella Stephenson-Pa Parkinson, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Stephenson of
this city, which occurred last Monday
morning at the hospital where she had
been taken for treatment.
Death, which is always dark and cruel,
seems worse than usual in this case.
Wednesday, Oct. IL, four weeks pre-
ceeding the day her body was deposited
in the "windowless palace" Miss
Stephenson became the bride of Mar
shall G. Parkinson and with him de-
parted from the parental home for Chi
ago, there to visit with her brother,
thence to Beloit to establish home.
The days of planning and arranging
their rooms were interrupted by sud
den approach of nervous collapse, which
grew worse and worse in spite of all
that relatives, friends and the best of
care and medical skill could do There
was a brief rally which stimulated
hope for recovery, but this was followed
by relapse, which ended In death on
Monday, Nov. 6, at O'Clock in the

blackbirds were aiding them. shot
the snake, which was a copperhead
AZ feet long. For hours after he
was dead the birds kept flying at him
and pecking him about the head. This

Remarkable Discovery Of Frenchman

Price-lts Advantages.

which, 1t is believed. will make a
revolution In electric lighting, is an
nounced by young French scientist,
M Dussaud. and is making a great
sensation among experts BY its
means 1t is asserted that illumination
can be produced at one-fiftieth part
OF the cost at present necessary.
NJ. Dussaud's invention consists
partly in the repeated interruption
of low voltage current for a frac-
ton OF second each time. At each
cutoff the lamp rests for an infin-
itesimal period, SO short that the eye
receives the impression of continuous
light. but long enough to allow the
filament to cool Combined with this
intermittent current small lamps
about an inch in diameter are
used, with q filament of tungstenate,
which offers very little resistance to
the current. and yet gives light
thirteen and a half times greater
than any of the lamps now on the
market
The consequence of the alternate
heating and cooling Of the filament is
that the lamp remains practically
cold. the surface never rising above
40 degrees centigrade. 1t can there
fore be placed as close as Is desired
to the condenser of an optical In
strument, thus enormously increasing

Welsh takes his seat In front of the

he nudges his elbow and whispers:
