BURNED TO DEATH.
Four Year Old Edith Lewis Set
Clothing on Fire.

This morning during the absence of
her mother, Edith, the 4-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs William
Lewis, Of 1921 North Polk street, set
fire to her clothing and was so terribly
burned thai death resulted two hours
later.
The accident happened shortly after
o'clock, and the little girls and
younger child We're alone. Mrs Lewis
had gone to a neighbours 'on an Grand
heard the child's frantic screams and
hurried home only to find the little girl
rolling under the bed in her agony,
with every stitch of clothing burned
from her body. The child was able to
talk and told how the accident hap
pened. After her mother had gone she
took some paper and going to the stove
lighted it, Her eloAaing then took fire,
and the child in her fright ran all over
the house trying to put out the flames,
and finally crawled under the bed
where she was found by her mother
The little girl even in her suffering
kept away from the younger child,
who only had few burns on the
hands.
DR.. Miner was called, but the little
sufferer was beyond all help. her body
being burned black only a small part
of the face and her hair escaping the
cruel flames. The little one fingered
until 10 o'clock, when death resulted
The arrangements for the funeral have
not yet been made.

STILL IN HOT WATER.
Truancy officer Farce Still Played by
Commissioners.

The county commissioners are still
IN hot water over the county truancY
officer appointment. Commissioner
Harrison suggested Frank Stout, of
Auburn, as a compromise candidate.
Mr.. Harrison. and the other mem
bers of the board, objected to George
Bushong, the man named by SPERM
tendent Wright because Bushong is
guilty of the atrocious crime of being
Democrat. For two months the county
superintendent and the county commits
sioners have been wrangling over the
appointment of a truaney officer. J. B.
Ramsay got into the contest as a com
promise candidate but Wright refused
to name him unless the commissioners
would appoint him at once. If there
was to be further delay Wright an
nounced that he would stick to Blu
shong. The commissioners raised the
point that Ramsay lives in Topeka and
is not a resident of the county truancy
district. Then Commissioner Harrison
brought Stout into the contest. He
told Wright that Stout is a Republican
and that if Wright would name him
that the board would elect him. Wright
told Harrison that in order to settle
the trouble that he would name Stout.
Then when the job was offered to Stout
he refused it, saying that 81 a day for
the time spent in performing the duties
of the office was not sufficient induce
ment for him. Wright will stick TO
BushOng and the fight will continue.
