THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE.

Anoka Herald; The plan of
charging the Republican state
central committee at the begin
ming of the next campaign by
giving each county member, is
a good one and is similar to that
adopted by most of the eastern
states, where the science ofpoli-
tics has been made considerably
more exact than in Minnesota.
Of course a committee of the
size necessary to give each
county representation would be
unwieldly if the entire member
ship we're consulted continually,
but with a small executive CON-
mittee to direct the work in
general and the county members
to look after details, more ef-
fective work can be done in 1900
than ever before. This matter
of an effective committee should
engage the earnest attention of
all good Republicans, and as
much care should be displayed
in selecting manager as is used
in choosing candidates. The
1893 campaign is an object
lesson which will long be re-
membered, and we probably will
not again in a long time witness
the pitiable spectacle of a man
with a grasp of the situation
and no judgment in matters poll
teal managing the affairs of the
party for no other reason than
that he was a personal friend of
the candidate for governor. So
far the men most prominently
mentioned for the head. of the
committee are, E. M. Johnson,
Robert Jamison of Minneapolis,
and AL, Ferris of Brainerd. Of
the lot, Mr.. Ferris, in our opin-
ion, is the best qualified for the
position. He is a man of good
judgment. unquestioned honesty
and unsurpassed staying quail
ties. He has a wide acquaint-
ance and is in every way SO
|qualified and situated as to be
able to do the work acceptably.

Chess playing is the only civilized

and kills him, it is murder.
If ten men have dispute with ten

Arbitration is suggested. 1t is MI right

take the place Of battles.
The heroes who would save their coun.

heat and smoke. and badly burned
about his face and hands.
Michael kerrich Is a brother OF
John and Anton Kerrich and Mrs.
J Ohm Valentine of this city. His
farm is situated about two miles
northeast of the village of Pierz.
The news Of the terrible accident
was brought to this city this morn
ing by JOS. Drummer, the nearest
neighbor of the Kerrichs. He states
that the family il 80 Frustrated by
grief and the shock that they can
give but little particulars concerning
the origin of the fire.
The main part OF the house was a
large two story frame structure,
with a one story frame kitchen built
to it. The fire is supposed to have
originated in the attic OF the kitchen
and from there communicated to the
room in the main building, where
the five children slept.
The building was an old structure
and burned rapidly, but it seems
strange that they were not
awakened by the smoke before the
flames reached them
The fire was discovered about $50,
and the children had been in bed but
a short time. There We're eight chill
dren, one an adopted child, in the
family, and all We're girls except the
adopted one. The children whn
persisted were: Theresa, Anna
Lizzie and Katie. aged 6, 8, II and Is
years, respectively.
It is believed that the children
were smothered> by the smoke. before
the flames reached them. -
This morning as soon as the ruins
of the building had cooled down, the
remains of the four unfortunate chill
dren were taken out. The bodies
were almost wholly consumed. and
it was impossible to identify one
from the other. They were placed in
one coffin and will be given burial at
Pierz Sunday.
The accident was a severe shock
to everyone who heard it, and alex
pressed deep sympathy for the
afflicted family in their great sor-
row.
