De 10 que Sc deduce, por 10 pronto,
que habia opinion, y prensa y toleran-

Una autoridad en- la materia ha di-
cho que el romanticismo es la forma

Matos Bernier, quien, seg1n confesa es

slmo Castelar,: "que es una ramera

BURNED TO DEATH.
Terrible Academic Miss Ida HaWker
at Napoleon.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
What terminated in fatal tragedy oc-
cured at the home of Mrs. VIM. Valen-
tine on Third street, Wednesday after
noon, when Miss Ida Hawker received
burns which caused her death a few
hours later. Mrs. Valentine operates a
dress making parlor and this lady to-
eether with Miss Julia Mountain was in
her employ In one of the rooms an in
cubator was in operation. 1t was MOTTO
ed that the lamp was smoking and that
the chimney was broken. Miss Hawker
and Mrs. Valentine went to look after
the lamp, the latter being afraid that
it was about to explode. In some way
Miss Hawker's clothing caught fire and in
the excitement of the occasion she rush
ed out of doors and across the street, the
flames so that she was virtually fam
ing human torch. As she rushed forth,
She was ouselNeu ny hloS ISlHci leeu,
who with rare presence of mind, hur-
ried to her assistance with a carpet or
quilt with which to smother the fire,
but her clothing was practically burned
off and what remained was put out by
Miss Tena Latin, who in company with
Miss Minnie Keller operates a dress MAX
ing shop Just across the way from Mrs.
Valentine
Willing hands picked up the suffering
girl and DR.. Bishop was called when she
was removed to the home of her parents
who reside in the Free Methodist par
sonage, just one block south of where
the accident occurred. The doctor did
everything in his power to relieve the
poor girls sufferings which were ter
rible to behold. Her whole body was
burned more or less, the most severe
burns being on the left hip and breast.
A little later DR.. Schlesselman of Good
Thunder was called in consultation and
the two physicians did everything in
human power with the hope of saving
Miss Hawker's life, but to no avail.
When the accident occurred fire alarm
was turned in and the boys responded
but what fire there was had
been extinguished by Mrs. Valentine,
the damage being practically nothing as
far as the house was concerned. Mrs.
Valentines hands were burned quite
severely in the accident.
Miss Hawker after being removed to
her home regained consciousness and told
the story of the awful accident. Later
she lapsed off into slumber and never re-
gained consciousness, passing away at
nine o'clock. The deceased was a hard
girl, the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs John Hawker. She was born in
Sterling township in this county, March
18th, 1885, and is survived by her par
ents, six brothers and one sister. The
funeral will be held from the Lutheran
church this Friday afternoon at two
o'clock Mapleton Enterprise.

SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK.
J. E. Robinson Doing Excellent Service
in Blue Earth County.
From Saturdays Daily.

FROM saturdays Oally.
The representative of the greatest
Sunday School Missionary society in eX-
istence, the American Sunday School un-
ion is now in Blue Earth county organic
ing schools in the country places. J. E.
Robinson, who is doing the work, reports
number of promising schools already
started in Pleasant Mound, Ceresco; Lin
coin, and Rapidan townships, with good
prospect of others to follow.
Mr.. Robinson regretted to say that
many entire well settled townships in
Minnesota are found without a Bible
school, Only one fourth of the children
III Minnesota are under Bible instruction,
while $4,000 are umreached. Three
fourths of the money and four ffths of
the talent are expended in religious and
reform work in our cities, although two
thirds of our population live in the
country.
The following is a summary of last
years work in Minnesota: During the
year closing March lst, 1908, the mis-
sionaries of the American Sunday School
union in Minnesota established l73 Sun
day schools in communities without re-
ligious privileges, thus bringing 5,755
children and adults under Bible instruc-
ton. Visits and aid were given to
schools in 900 cases, 1905 visits made
to families, 1870 sermons and addresses
delivered, and $530.l3 worth of religious
literature, in addition to 1861 copies of
the Scriptures, distributed by sale and
gift.
As the first fruits of the work, sos
persons have professed conversion, three
churches were organized, two church
buildings erected, twenty-six regular
prayer meetings established, and forty
three young people induced to go to high
school or college. Seven Sunday schools
were planted in abandoned church build
ings.
