Mrs. Grace A. tsnowl peane.

A quiet home is saddened by the death
of Mrs. Grace A. Deane. She had en-
joyed good health of late until two weeks
before her death. when she was taken
suddenly i'll, and from that time on her
condition was critical. For the past six
years she had live with her twin sister,
Mrs. Hester Davis, at her home on SHAFT
ter street.
She was a woman OF quiet, cheerful
disposition, every ready to help others
and had many friends as was shown by
the profusion of flowers at her funeral
which was held at her residence on Tues
day, Sept II. Rev. A. E. Martin, pas
tor of the Congregational church, of
which she was a member. officiated.
Born in West Dover Nov 2, 1S45.

liam and Sophia (Davis) Snow. She was
the second wife of Sumner A. Deane,
who died Aug. 20, 1897. She leaves one
daughter, Mrs. Maud Clark of Jamaica,
and two grandchildren, Wilola and
Charles Clark. She also leaves three sis
tiers, Mrs Jane Howard, Mrs. III. M.

Des Arc Items.

Well, the election.is over, and it
went our way. That pleases me;
some of our Republicans were
very sore over it; one was heard
to say that wages will be 81 a day
and mules $50 a head. Another
took the rheumatism in his left
hip and can hardly walk. l told
him to take a dose of Wilson and
Major pills and it would do him
good. also say to them that it
is time enough to cross the bridge
when you come to it. l notice a
great many voters stayed away
from the polls and did not vote. At
Des Arc the vote was 80 short; at
Piedmont, over so; the state OF
Missouri was more than $1,000
short. But we got there, just the
same. We are sorry to lose our
postmistress for she is the mostac
commodating postmistress | ever
knew. Always has a good word
for everybody, rich or poor. She
is a jewel.
The Holiness people had a mu-
steal Saturday night. 1t was a
wonderful success. Space will not
permit mentioning all the pro-
gramme, so | will just make a few
references. The piano solo by
Esther Myers was good; also, the
piano duet by Lena Stevenson and
Leah Wallis. "The Wreck of the
Titanic" by Mrs. London brought
down the house and was simply
fine. She is the music teacher in
the College and certainly under
stands her calling. "The Storm
(Weber) by Mrs. London was al
so very fine. The Music Hall was
crowded and all seemed to enjoy
the treat. Our College is getting
along finely under the manage
ment of Profs. London and Kis-
tier.

A Genuine Service.

coveries in sciene, or describing
great industrial achievements, or
telling of their wanderings in
strange corners of the word, or
feeding the imagination with rare
stories, they are giving Companion
readers the best of themselves.
Seven serials at least will be
published by The Companion in
1918 and nearly 200 other COM
plete stories, in addition to some
so special contributions, and a

dotes, experts advices as to ath-
letic sports, ideas for handy de-
vices round the house, and SO

turous and the entertaining. An

at all or I never would have fred
the place." To her orginial con-
fession yesterday she added sever
al details which she had failed to
include in the first statement. One
of these was that the decision to
fire the Windermere Hotel, whittier
DIR. Williamson and his family
had moved after the Berlin fire,
was reached at 5 o'clocd Saturday
afternoon, while she was return
ing from the Baptist Sanitarium
with clothing belonging to the
Williamson family. She said af-
ter deciding to fire the hotel she
walked into a drug store at Taylor
avenue and Suburban tracks and
asked for matches. These she
placed in her purse and kept until
2:30 A. M, when she awoke and
Immediately began preparations
to fire the hotel. This attempt,
made in the hall, was frustrated
by a guest, and she then placed a
towel over her transom and set
fire to it. She said she had an
aunt who had suffered from ep-
ilepsy and an uncle on her fathers
side who had been deported from
this country after coming from
Austria, on account of being in
sane. DR.. Hughes said she I'M
doubtedly was a pyromaniac and
should be confined. He said that
with proper treatment she could be
cured. The girl is an enigma to
to the police and what to do with
her is a question. The police say
an attempt to convict her of murder
in the first degree, the only charge
that can be placed against her un-
der the law, is futile. The case will
be laid before Assistant Circuit
Attorney E. E. Rudolph this morn
ing. The girl is held a prisoner
in the matron's room at Police
Headquarters. No one has been
allowed to converse with her SO
far except police officials, report
ers and DR.. Hughes. Her mother
has not talked with her since the
child's arrest, though she has
called twice at headquarters. The
child appears to have no remorse
for her crime and does not seem
to realize the enormity of it,"

Hurrah for Ifonton! The high
school basket ball team beat the
Doe Run high school team with a
score of % to Is. Doe Run team
is considered one of the strongest
teams in this part of the state.
The game was ideal in every par
ticular from an Ironton stand
point-the day, the visiting team,
the school spirit, the good fellow
ship with the opponents, the
luncheon which was served by the
eleventh and twelfth grade girls,
and the score-all were very pleas
ing. Among the most sensational
features of the game was the rapid
work of the Ironton players, es-
pecially Fisher, and the excellent
work of Huff in guarding Bono the
Star for Doe Run. Ironton will
play the Fredericktown team
this week, and return the game of
Doe Run team on the 23d inst.
Come to the basket ball court Sat-
urday afternoon and see the game
between Ironton ann the FEEDER
icktown boys; the game will be
called at $3.50 o'clock.
The high school wishes to &C.
knowledge the receipt of quite a
number Of Magazines from several
of our patrons. A good article in
literature or history never gets old.
The reading table now receives
regularly two school papers-the
Capaha Arrow and the University
Missourian. The former has an
Ironton girl on the editorial staff;
the latter is the paper published
by the School Of Journalism, Uni
versity of Missouri. They are
both good.

Democrats for his welfare, and he
knows the war is over. No longer
