BURNED TO DEATH
clearinghouse at BeIvidere Destroyed
BY Fire. Infant Child of Lewis
Blair Perlshed In Flames.

The Billings Lumber Co.'S boarding
house at Belvidere was destT Dyed by
fire Monday afternoon. The fire
caught in bedroom up stairs,
where there was a stove, in which
there had been q fire built short
time previous to the discovery of the
fire. 1t was the sleeping room of Mr..
and Mrs. Lewis Blair and two child
rem. Mrs. Blair had got her fout
months old baby as'eAp and laid it on
the bed and had gone to the kitchen,
which was quite a distance from he
bedroom, to help about the after
dinner work. A few minutes later on
opening the sitting room door, which
led to the chamber they found it fill
ed with smoke. They rushed to the
room where the child Was, but found
it all ahame and could not possibly
have entered to save the little one.
Plenty of assistance was there in a
very short time, but the fire was we'll
started and but very little furniture
was saved, it was by good work that
the barns were saved, which were but
a short distance from the house. Mr..
Stockweli, who run the boarding

sometimes depends on where man

To
TEST ORDINANCE.
INCENSED AT INTERRUPTIONS
OF FUNERALS
viii Endeavor to Stop the Habit of
Breaking Through PROFESSIONS
En- Route to the
Cemetery

The undertakers and liverymen of
Los Angeles are incensed over what
they claim is violation of their right
of way over the streets of Los Angeles
during the passage of a funeral cortege
to the place of interment.
They protest that pedestrians auto
mobilists and motormen are in the
habit of breaking through their fu-
neral professions almost at will and
without due regard to their rights, and
to the Indignation of the relatives of
the deceased
The undertakers and liverymen are
thoroughly aroused over the situation
which is said to exist, and they propose
lete city ordinance, which was passed
March 2S. 1878, as a safeguard to the
rights claimed by the relatives of a
deceased person.
The ordinance provides that the free
and uninterrupted passage of all pub
lie streets in Los Angeles shall be ac-
corded to any and all persons engaged
in carrying or conveying the bodies of
deceased persons to places of inter
ment.
1t also says that any person who
shall willfully obstruct an uninterrupt-
ed passage through the streets of any
funeral cortege, or any person whether
on foot or in vehicles attending the
conveyance of deceased persons to
places of interment, shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor, and on con-
viction shall be punished by fine not
exceeding 5000, or imprisonment in the
county Jail for a period not exceeding
ninety days.
The first test case under this prac-
tically obsolete ordinance will be tried
in the courts on Saturday next.
The case is that of the people against
William Howie, a chauffeur employed
by Riley Darnell, who controls a num-
Der Of automobiles which are rented
by tourists visiting this point.
The undertakers, and more particu-
larly the Home Carriage company,
have employed the services of Attorney
William A. Anderson, who will assist

chauffeur.

tional offenses, and the employment of

A Trained Nurse
Speaks Out

Trained nurses as a rule are fine
lot of women, and If they were men
would make magnificent soldiers. They
are trained to obey to the minutest de-
tail, and it is seldom that one can be
got to express an opinion on any
remedy, being content to carry out the
physicians orders. Speaking on the
subject one OF the best known nurses
of Pittsburg, Pa, said: Il only recall
one case where l felt called upon to
speak right out and tell the doctors
what | thought. l had been called in
to attend an old lady suffering with
chronic constipation and whose en-
feebled condition precluded the use OF
cascara, rhubarb, licorice or other
powerful purgatives. The doctors
were giving the patient large doses of
olive oil without any appreciable re-
suit / insisted upon Red Raven,
knowing that as a laxative, though
mild, is was exceedingly sure TO my
delight the doctors, after consultation,
prescribed a bottle every morning for
three mornings. A prompt change
came over the patient and in a few
days she was relieved. This Is the
only experience l ever had with Red
Raven In a critical illness. but i'm "a
number of mild attacks of constipa
tion, torpid liver. headache and bilious
ness, l have known them to bring
quick relief"

"RELleloN OF TO-DAY"
Preacher Says World Is Tired Of
TheoIoqleal Speculation

'USOlO9lCdl OpcCuldIlOn
At the Universalist service yester-
day in Cumnock hall. Reynold f.
Blight formerly of New York city,
preached on the subject. The Religion
for Today" He said:
Man will never outgrow religion.
Religion finds its origin in the deepest
instincts of the human soul. At bot
tom all religions are one. All relig-
ions are flowers from the same soil.
Religion Is the turning of the heart
toward God; and upon this fundamen-
tai principle all religions are founded.
The religious thought and expert
ences of the past will not answer for
the present. Our orthodox friends are
complaining that the people are leav-
ing the churches The church is los
ing it's grip upon the common people.
Not even the great union revival when
religious enthusiasm is famed to fever
heat succeeds in attracting the 'un-
churched masses to any appreciable
extent. And it is not because the peo-
pie are wicked, or sceptical. or irrelig-
day has no vital message for the aver
age man and woman. The religious
teachers are trying to put old wine in
the new bottles with the usual result.
1.-The religion of today must be posi-
tive in it's tone. The world is tired
of theological speculation, tired of con-
tcntion and debate. tired of doubt and
uncertainty, and demands a clear-cut
definite statement of religious princi
pies. 1t does not want dogma, nor
elaborate creeds. but it does desire
spiritual affirmations. Jesus taught
with authority, and therein lay his
power.
THE religion of today must be broad.
liberal tolerant, building on essen
tials. 1t must be practical, commend
ing itself to the hearts and lives of
men, and fitting the needs of everyday
life. 1t must be optimistic. Pessim-
ism has no place in modern life. This
is Gods world where all things are
working together for good. The key
note of the universe is evolution, which
means that all things, everywhere are
tending toward 'one far off divine
event. which is the triumph of divine
love and the extinction of imperfection,
hate and evil Universalism measures
up to these requirements, and is the
message to the twentieth century"

EPISCOPAL REVIVAL SERMON
Rev. Or. Bowling Says Inspiring
Sermons Are Needed

In preaching yesterday morning at
Christ Episcopal church on "An Epis-
copal Revival Sermon" Rev. DIR.
George Thomas Bowling selected for
his text Acts XXI, 16: And now why
tarriest thou?" In part he said
1T is true that in our communion
there is not generally as much en-
phasis placed upon the sermon as a
feature of public worship as some OF
us think there should be. But l think
that such condition arises from the
fact that our prayer book service, as
said and sung from Sunday to Sunday,
is so beautiful and inspiring.
Nevertheless, however stimulating
our service. It is always mistake
where special attention and study is
