After suffering intense pain for
nearly six hours from frightful burns
received at her home yesterday after
noon at $3.50 O'Clock. Mrs. r VI. Jox-
dy. a well known resident Of South
Fourth street. Martins Ferry. passed
away at the Martins Ferry hospital
last evening at 10 o'clock. Mrs. low
ny Is survived by her husband and
two children. one aged two years and
the other ten days. The remains
were removed TO the Undertaking par-
lors al a late hour last evening. to be
prepared for burial.
Mrs. JOvdy. who had been in for
the past two weeks. had been bed
fast. Becoming chilled yesterday az
ternoon after a severe sweating spell.
she had gotten up and was standing
In front OF the open crate to get
warm. when the night dress which
she was wearing caught FIRE from
the hot Goals.
The husband. who was in the store
room on the FIRST floor. heard the
woman's creams and. rushing up
stairs. found his wife a mass of
flames. He At once grabbed her In
his arms and carried her down stairs
TO the front part OF the store. where
he tried to ~eNtinguish the flames.
Several persons who were passing the
place at the time heard the woman's
screams. and smelling the burning
clothes. rushed into the building and
helped the frantic husband extinguish
the flames. Jerry Ebberts. who lives
across the street. was the first 10
arrive. and succeeded to some extent
in smothering the flames. but not be-
fore the woman was frightfully
burned about the entire body. the
flesh on some parts OF the body fall.
ing on in large pieces. The husband
and the clerk in the store also re-
ceived horrible burns about their
hands and face when they tried 20 ex-
tinguish the flames.
DR.. r.. II. Wilson was at once sum-
moned and ordered the woman re-
moved to the hospital. where II was
stated that she could not survive
many hours. While the woman was
being taken TO the hospital DR.. McGin-
mis- was dressing the burns on Mr..
Jowdy's arms and face. He will suf-
fer no i'll effects from the burns. but
will be laid up for some time.
The husband was so overcome with
grief last evening that he could hard
ly be controlled. and neighbors took
the children to be cared for. as the
family has no relatives here. although
they have been in Martins Ferry for
several years, conducting a confec-
tionery next to the Rex Theater.

out that change in the air today: the moon changes, and the city government changes, hence it is not unreasonabie for the council to change their mind too. However this may be it is more than likely that there will be sundry and divers changes in the present line up when the new administrative body assumes office this evening. Judging from what is heard on the street the irrespective councilmen are proceeding on the assumption that it won't matter much next year anyhow.
 The strong probability that there will be only minor favors to dispense next year owing to the prospect of the much sought offices being made elective is also said to be having a determinatins effect in the matter of the present ap- pointments. Judging from the vast amount of political juggling, wire pull ling and thumb screwing lately going on in the interest of certain office seek CTS a change of that nature would evi- dentlN be most agreeable.

A New Back for an Old One. How 1t
 Can be Done in Alaska.

The back aches al times with q dull. indescriable feeling. making you weary and restless; piercing pains shoot across the region of the kidneys. and again the loins are so lame that to stoOp is agony. No use to rub or apply plaster to the back if the kidneys are weak. You cannot reach the cause. Alaskan people would do well to profit bv the following example
 John l. Conger, prop. printing shop, S45 N. Seventeenth St. Salem. oregon. says My back got weak and sore and my kidneys did not act as they should. I could hardly straighten up. Doan's Kidney Pills gave me relief and it took them only a short time to rid me of kidney trouble. l publicly endorsed them several years ago and am glad to do so again"
