Burned to Death.

This awful recital taken from
the Monroe City News:
Mrs. Timothy Madden, of Rails
county, three and a half miles east
Of this city, was so severely burned
last Saturday afternoon that she
died at II O'Clock Sunday morn
ing.
Mrs. Madden and her daughter,
Miss Kate, were at the house and
the daughter had stepped out to
feed the chickens. She was ont
but few moments, and on her re-
turn was Mortified to find her
mothers clothing on fire. In at
tempting to put out the flames her
hand was severely burned. Her
screams brought her brothers who
were at the barn to her assistance.
and the flames were put out, but
not till they had burned and char
red the flesh on the lower part of
the woman'S body to a crisp.
1t is supposed that Mrs. Madden
was burning some papers in the
stove and the flames caught her

SMALL SALOONS TO CLOSE.
Two Thousand Chicago Restaurants to
Go Ont OF Business.

Chicago, ILL.,, July 20.-The smaller sa-
looms of the city are preparing to close
their doors. The city. officials estimate
that one-third Of the present total of 500
saloons will be closed between now and
October l. This will mean a loss in rev.
enue to the city of over S1,O0O,OOO.
The saloonkeepers assert that the rise
in the price of beer will compel many of
them to retire from business. On June
q the price was raised to SIS a barrel,
and the small retailers can no longer fig
ure sufficient profit on the beverage that
is the principal part of their trade. They
assert a loss of from 40 cents to so cents
a barrel.
The brewers declare that they cannot
sell beer at profit lat less than Sc bar
rel. 1t seems to be the customer who is
at fault. He expects so much beer for
his money. The retailer has to stand the
loss. The war tax on beer came out of
the retailers pocket. as does this second
increase in price within a little over two
years. AS natural consequence 1000
saloons in Chicago that were selling from
four to ten barrels Of beer day are now
selling but two or three, and are not
anxious to sell even that. And, as fur
Their consequence, there will be fewer sa-
looms in Chicago next winter than there
have teen in many years.
