FATALLY BURNED. !,
Flames Spread From Stove and Ignite
Clothing of Mrs. G. S. Garrison.

Mrs. C. S. Garrison met with a
misfortune between nine and ten
O'Clock Monday morning, says the
Rich Hill Review, at the family home
at Ovid, two miles north of Rich Hill,
which is almost certain to result in
her death.
The lady was in the act of crowd
ing quantity of paper and other lit
ter into the stove when the mass in
stantly ignited and the flames spread
to her clothing within twinkling.
Her entire body was enveloped in
flames almost before she had time to
realize her danger. She ran from
the house in great agony and fell
screaming from the porch. This at
tracted the attention of her children,
who were playing in the yard and
they fastened to the mothers assist
ance, finally subduing the flames with
water, but not until the lady was
frightfully burned. Nearly all of the
unfortunate woman's clothing was
burned away, almost her entire body
being charred.
Later.-Mrs. Garrison died Monday
1ight as the result of her burns.

Senator Stones Reelection

The Senior Senator from Missouri
is visiting his home State for few
days after long absence in the try
ing work that is keeping most of the
National Legislature at Washington
most Of the time. Senator Stone, will
be reelected. He ought to be re-
elected. The State would act con-
trary to it's own interest if it were to
defeat him. i
- We have no quarrel with Mr..
Atkins. He is not, however, the man
to succeed Stone. The fact that Mr..
Atkins was Postmaster Of St. Louis
does not argue that he should 60 to
the Senate. Senator Stone, on the
other hand, made good Governor,
after long experience in other forms
of public life. He has made a Sena-
tor of distinction and worth. He has
become national leader. As chair
man of the Senate Committee on For
eign Relations he occupies position
of great present importance. Mis-
souri, is proud to have one other sons
in this high station. The country
needs him there.
Senator Stone will 60 back to the
Senate for another six years, and the
people of the State and Of the nation,
regardless Of party, will continue to
have in him a public servant of the
best type. We are not supporting
Senator Stone as a Democrat, but as
Missouri leader, who has made

Whereas. we believe, with them. !
that said features tend to dissipation

the fair, and that said exhibits tend |
to cultivate, in the minds OF boys

tions,
Now, therefore, be It resolved. that
we favor the discontinuance of such I
expositions. and that in arranging
out itineraries we favO giving our
preference to such fairs and stock |
shows as do not patronize the wild /

Be it further resolved, that our
