Mrs Tilda Carlton, wife of Jas.
Carlton, who lives on Winfield Myers
place about eight miles west of Da-

last Friday morning.
From reports we learn that the

Carlton were at the house, and all
of them had started into the dining
room for breakfast, when she stepped
into an adjoining room and secured
a 3S-|, liber revolver from the draw
er and shot herself, dying almost in
stantly. The cause of her rash act
is not known.
The deceased was II years of age
and had been married only about
six months. She was the daughter
of Mr.. MoXley. Burial was had in
the Oak Ridge grave yard.

WYNNEWOOD NEW ERA.
HeaVy Storm.

Probably the heaviest rain ever
known here fell in Wynnewood and
over Garvin county Thursday morn
ing. Many shade trees about town
were broken off and uprooted by a
strong wind which lasted almost an
hour.
According to Pink Eskridge the
streets of Wynnewood were dam
aged to the amount of several hun.
dred dollars by severe washing and
wasting away. Almost all the gut
ters and bitches in the city were
overhowed and the water covered
many streets like a river. The
branch running through east Wyn-
newood was overflowed.
Out in the country and over the
county much damage to crops and
farm work was done by the rain.
Hillside land which was freshly plow-
ed was badly washed. Bottom land
along small streams was badly over
flowed and corn and cotton washed
up. Some of the orchardists near
Wynnewood report that peach trees

Browning Class.

The Browning class met Friday
evening in open session at the homo
of Mr.. and Mrs. A. c. Straehley
Mrs. Barry read The Magistrate"
by Pnero a very clever farce deal
ing with an amusing situation in
which a magistrate unwittingly sen
tences his own wife for an escapade
in which he himself was one of the
chief participants.
After the reading refreshments Of
ice cream and cake were served and
an informal social hour enjoyed
Saturday afternoon Mrs. Barry
spoke of the American national nov
el and national drama and of its types
of characters: the westerner hoosier
type and the type which grew out OF
economic conditions, the new rich,
also the southern colonel characters
which grew out of provincialism as
did those of the New England states.
Mrs. Barry referred to Clyde Fitch
as the most promising of the writer's
of American dramas dealing with
American social types. His death
occurred before he had developed
the best of his powers. She spent
the greater part of the afternoon
reading Truth" a judicial comedy
with decidedly serious note. Truth"
is forceful presentation of theme
similar to that used by lbsen in the
DOLLS House. Fitch treats his
characters more sympathetically than
Ibsen does, and his dramas have
greater popular appeal. He had,
however, neither the craftsmanship
nor the creative genius of Ibsen."
A brief business meeting was held
as this reading concluded the series
of lectures. Plans were made for
Mrs. Barry's return next winter,
which was Mrgently requested by tho
entire class and a number of new
names were presented for member
ship.
Mrs. Straehley was unanimously
chosen president for the ensuing year.
The course as outlined will consist
of seven lectures, which promise to-
be intensely interesting. The class
will be limited to forty members.

ST. LOUIS WATER PROBLEM:
THE DEDICATION OF PLANT

st. Louis. Mo, May 15.-What is
said to be the largest filtration plant
in the world was dedicated today at
the Chain of Rocks, the site of the
st Louis city waterworks on the
Mississippi river at the eXtereme nor
then end of the city.
The filtration plant cost 100000
and is so large that 150,00O0O0 gal
Ions of water can pass through it
every twenty-four hours, absolutely
pure; and in case of emergency this
can be increased to 2OO,OOO,OOO gal
Ions.
The opening of the filtration plant
is the last step deemed necessary
for years to come to assure St Louis
of clear water. The citys water is
taken from the muddy Mississippi
river, and first is given a chemical
treatment that precipitates the solids
and foreign matter The water then
passes through a series of settling
basins, from which it emerges clear
For years this system was sufficient
to assure the city clear water, but
as the demands for water grew with
the growth of the city it was no.
ticed that in hot weather or when
the river was unusually muddy, the
water was drawn through the settling
basins so fast that it poured out OF
the faucets slightly discolored.
The great sand filter was then
built. Water will pass from settling
basins into the filter. and thence
into the mains. The filter, it is

For years, St Louis struggled with
the problem of clarifying the muddy
river water and when the settling
process was devised it attracted at
tention in engineering circles through
out the world

were attended by many delegates
from the convention of the American
