taanf Gasoline EXPLOSION.

a horrible accident, the result
OF careless handling of gasoline,
occurred Ill the township of Ma
Izeppa last Friday, by which three
llFes We're probably lost. The
accident occurred at the farm
home OF Michael Leddy about -
miles west OF here. The partic-
Qlars as near as can be learned
We're that Mrs. Leddy was en-
gagged IN doing the family wash
ING with q boiler of water on the
cook stove, and ignorantly or
thoughtlessly brought in five
gallon can with gasoline and at
tempted to pour some Of the
t1uld into the boiler of water on
the stove when the explosion
took place. The woman and two
little children, a boy and girl,
aged respectively 3 and ) years
were Immediately on fire from
the scattered fluid. Mr.. Leddy
was in an adjoining room at the
time and rushing to the assis-
tance OF his wife and children,
he dragged them out and rolled
them in a pile Of sand which had
been placed for mixing plaster,
and got the, fire eXtinguished,
but not until they were all horri-
bly, burned, indeed, SO badly
burned that the woman died on
the following Sunday, and
though the children We're then
alive there was not the slightest
hope of their recovery. In his
efforts TO succor the unfortu-
mates and put out the fire III the
house, which he succeeded III dc
ING, Mr.. Leddy's hands were
badly burned, and one OF them is
in Il very serious condition.
This terrible aftiiction was pre-,
ceded but week or two before
by the burning of a large barn
belonging to Mr.. Leddy and the
| loss of several head Of live stock
and some machinery and other
things, and the family are said
to be entirely destitute. The
funeral Of the woman took place
Tuesday, Rev. Fr. Wolf otficiat
ing, the remains being taken t

And Contend That the 1897 Law APP

UncOnstitutionaI.

The state board of equalization will
predetermined of the taxation of rail
road equipment companies and fast
freight lines, under the law passed by
the last legislature. The law proposes
to tax these companies, but they claim
that they are already bearing their
burden of taxation, as the revenue de-
rived by the one class of the COM
panies from the regular railroad COM
panies has already been taxed under
the gross earnings tax, while the in
come of the freight lines, they main
tain, is partly embraced in the earn
ings of the railroad companies and
taxed there. Consequently, these COM
panies have been very apathetic about
complying with the provisions of the
law as to the reports required there
by to be filed, and it is believed they
intend to defy the law on the ground
that it is double or unequal taxation.
The state board, in the premises, de-
cided not to proceed without careful
consideration, and appointed Messrs
]. w. Lawrence, Tosten Johnson and
jerome e. Cooley as a committee to
consider the situation and wait upon
the attorney general for advice. Ac-
cordingly an appointment has been
made for conference between Attor-
rey General Childs and the board for
2 o'clock this afternoon.
The board spent the greater part Of
yesterday on items % and &c of the
personal property classification, stocks
of banks outside of the state, and
saloons and eating houses. The
changes made were CT a routine nature.

Joined Noah warn perishing men that death
might be defed and defeated: it nerved the
arms of the warriors of Israel; gave the
prophets visions and ire-cleansed tongues at
tuned the voice of the royal singer to the
harmony of the skies; compelled sacrilegious
priests to speak the truth though falsehood
ruled their hearts; it quickened and preserved
the aspirations Of the Hebrew people, and
their faith and hope in a Redeemer to come
The presence of the just in those days of
waiting, the celestial aspirations of mankind,
and their glorious outcome, the magnificent
heroisms of those ages, compel conviction of
the truth that the graces of salvation were
never wanting to man, and that the Fathers
limitless love was ever stirred with pity for
His Maynard children. But, my brethren, the
incarnation has brought us into the very
mountain of God. Through its vi tue we stand
on higher ground, and nearer to God than the
ancients. Faith, and hope and love have been
made easier through the ties of kinship form
ed that blessed day on which the .'tidings of
a great joy unto all the people, was an
nounced by the angel, and the covenant Of
God received fulfllment
Christ is with US. In Bethlehem and Naza-

the healer above all healers of the wounds of
grief-stricken men; the sharer of mems sor

sin; the divine counselor, consider, companion

lions and hopes. He caused the hearts OF men
to burn within them and famed the fire of
divine love into fame which was to COM

all grace and blessedness.
Under the old dispensation Moses com

the multitudes who followed the Savior were
permitted to touch the hem of His garment
to cry out to Him, to cling to Him. to kiss
His feet, to anoint them with precious ONT
ments, to sup with Him, and to seek mani
festations of His omnipotent power for the
restoration of hearing, and sight and health
and even life. The self same Christ, the eternal
son of God, abides in the world today in virtue
of His promise. That divine. and. therefore,
inviolable. promise is absolute guarantee to
that His voice is heard now and will be
heard for all time; not eloquent and in
spring echo resounding down the ages. but
the living voice of the source of all truth,
giving utterance from day to day to the teach

the fierce fury of passion and sin.
Through the days of the immortal twelve,
in tempest and calm, in prison and palace, in
the midst of the toiling suffering millions,
as in the select assemblies of the elegant and
refined, in face of peril by fire and sword and
shipwreck and death. that voice has spoken to
the ears and hearts of men, nor ceased, nor

FOOL IN POLITICS.
interesting Lecture Given to 9
Small Audience


Scarcely fifty people gathered at
Market hall last night to hear James
Clement Ambrose give his views on
THE Fool III Politics." If the audience
had been larger more people would
have heard an interesting lecture.
plentifully punctuated with anecdotes
and dry witty sentences Mr. Am
brose, who is a Chicagoan, has the ap-
pearance of a Methodist minister. and
seems possessed of more than ordinary
forensic ability. His style is for
chile, and his humor spon-
taneous. Although he prefaced his re-
marks on the advertised theme. he
gave his hearers a general descrip-
ton of the country, evidently based
on personal observation, and touched
on political matters just often enough
to forestall any criticism that he was
wandering from the text.
After explaining that the small au-
dience hardly furnished the inspiration
which would come out of a crowded
hall, he delivered a severe castigation
to the average unintelligent voter who,
he said was naturally stupid, stupidity
wicked and intelligently vicious If
the name America was to remain the
signature of liberty, the heart of the
people must beat and beat hard, too
at the polls. He handed to the politi-
clan whose district was more import
