Miss Catherine T. NIcHale, who was
born in Minneapolis So years ago, and
has always lived here, died Wednesday
afternoon at the residence of her moth
er, Mrs. Celia McHale, 1926 First street
south. Miss McHale was a sister OF

hours of the death of her sister there.
Little Gladys Lee was crushed to
death beneath huge pile of lumber
Monday while her asonized mother
passed and repassed the spot without
being able to render her any assist
ance. The heavy planks crushed the
life out of the little girl, who was but
four years old. Mrs. Lee had been to
call on a friend at 721 Hennepin ave-
nue., and was walking in the rear of
the building being built for an auto
mobile firm at 719 Hennepin. Gladys
dropped behind, and her mother tried
in vain to find her, but without results.
A crowd joined her in her search, and
at last small boy saw a fiutter of
the child's white dress from beneath
the pile of heavy planks which seemed
to have toppled over but moment
before. The strong workmen fastened
to remove the planks, but when they
finally managed to take the child out
life had almost departed. The little
body was pitifully crushed, and death
relieved her sufferings within an hour.
She was the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles f. Lee, and the family lives at
% Eighth street south, from which
place the funeral was held Wednesday
afternoon.
The instantaneous death by electro
cution of James O'Brien, 1918 Univer-
sity avenue NE, and fire in the sa-
loon owned by George Kujawa at 1925
Fourth street NE, resulted from i'm
perfectly insulated electric wires
Thursday night. Shortly after s o'clock
an alarm was turned in from the sa.
loon to which the department at once
responded. The fire was found to be
Of little consequence and was quickly
eXtinguished. O'Brien, in company
with several others, was in the saloon
at the time, and, after the fire, had oc.
casion to enter the basement. The
building occupied by the saloon is a
brick structure, with deep stone foun-
dation, which is always moist, as were
also the walls of the building, from
tha loovy rain Of tho afternoon Tho
electric wires were laid directly on the
walls, and in many places the insula-
ton was worn off. The result was
that the building was thoroughly sur
charged with electricity. O'Brien, in
STOPPING over to pick up tin pail from
the basement floor, came in contact
With one of these live wires and was
Instantly killed.

Hursed Combines.

Suppose the average American work
ingman pays eight dollars month rent
for his house. That Is at the rate Of $9S
per year. House rent Is usually the most
costly item In the expense account Of
every non-home-owning family, and II
absorbs q large percentage OF the work

enemy Of ~the little dinner pail" The
wife OF the average workingman would
think she vas rolling IN wealth II she
could have for household account the
money that goes out for rent
Now note some pertinent facts. dis
closed by accurate data, pertaining TO
the trusts and the high protective tariff
OF the republican party which makes the
existence Of the trusts possible.
The average American family pays q
tribute Of S111 year to the protected
trusts. OF that amount the government
gets in taxes from the trusts the sum Of
S1e.52. Deduct that sum from the total
contribution OF Sill and the balance IL
Ss4.4s. The latter figure is the amount
hlehed from the average family by the
tariR which supports the trusts.
The facts thus stated, says the Los
Angeles Herald, are derived from calcu-
lations Of average consumption by
American families and the tariff duties
imposed on the articles consumed.
