den a short distance from the house, the
second daughter aged five years, tried to
start the kitchen fire and in So doing her
dress, which was wool, caught fire. Her
older sister threw a bucket Of water over
her, but this did not extinguish the
flames, and before the mother could help
her, the child was SO badly burned that
when her dress was removed, the flesh
dropped of. Doctors did what they
could, but their patient died about three
O'Clock the same day. Funeral services

dent last Saturday which proved quite
painful but not serious. He was busy
about the boiler when accidentally one
of the steam valves was turned open
and the escaping steam and boiling
water played about Mr.. Kammeir's back
and right arm which caused a severe
scalding. DR.. Hansen took the case
under treatment at once and the patient

there in the state. There is some music,
some talk and then bottles Of colOred
water are sold, three for a dollar and
you get your money back, but suddenly,
after a deposit Of dollars, the lights are
put out, the show disappears and off
with them go dollars enough to supply
the outfit with spending money for
