Pay Box Rent in Advance. !.

Postmaster Anton. Erickson has
been the recipient Of many inquiries
relative to the requirements Of the
postal department as to the rental of
boxes in the local Office, and he says,
concerning the matter:
The law requires me to place
bills for rent in the boxes, ten days
before, the expiration of the quarter,
and if the amount of the rent of the
box is not forthcoming before the
expiration of the quarter, | must de-
clare the box vacant and offer it for
rent. The law in this matter is as
follows:
Sec 348.-2. Box rents must be
collected at the beginning of each
quarter for the entire quarter, but no
longer. Ten days before the last
day of each quarter postmasteIs are
required to place bill Con Form
1888 or 1538H bearing the date of
the last day Of the quarter in each
rented box. If box holder fails
to renew his right to his box on or
before the last day Of a quarter the
box shall then be closed and offered
for rent, and the mail will be placed
in the general delivery"

Bemidji Wants Fish Hatchery.

If applications for fish fry con-
tinue to come in at the present rate,
the state will have to provide more
fish hatcheries, is the opinion of S.
F. Fullerton, superintendent of
fisheries. He says that for some
time applications have been received
at the rate of so a day, and there
will be a demand for much more
than the state can supply even if
the. hatcheries are worked to their
limit. The limit for pike fry at
present is 100000 eggs.
Four Crews will start in a short
while for the purpose of gathering
spawn. The biggest catch is ex-
pected at Tower. Another crew
will be sent to Fon du Lac and the

PACKED IN SOLID MASS
Occupants Of Burning Tenement
Helpless on Fire Escapes.
THREE PERSONS LOSE LIVES
Fifteen Others Injured, Some seri.
ously, by Jumping From Windows.
Prompt Action Of Policemen Respon-
sibIe for Small Number Of Fatalities.
New York, April 3-Three persons
were killed, fifteen were injured, some
Of them seriously, and the lives of
gered by fire in fve-story tenement
house at "A Hester street. The dead
are Berel Weinstein, his wife and
their one-year-old son. They were
suffocated and burned in their apart
ments on the fifth floor. That more
lives were not lost was largely due to
the prompt action of three policemen,
who. seeing flames in the hall, rushed
through the building and aroused the
members of sixteen sleeping families.
BY that time the stairways were a
mass Of flames and the only means of
exit was by the fire escapes. In their
mad attempt to escape scores of scant-
lily clad men, women and children
crowded the narrow iron platforms
and ladders until they became wedged
in solid: masses on the fire escapes,
unable to extricate themselves and
blocking the way of those who had
not yet succeeded in getting out of
the building.
Many Jump to the Ground.
This was the situation when the
firemen arrived and began to run up
ladders to take the panic stricken
fugittves from their perilous posi-
lions. In some instances the COM
bined efforts of half a dozen fremen
were required to drag a woman or
child from 1.-The tightly packed plat
forms. While firemen on ladders and
others on the ground we're calling out
to them that there was no danger and
that help soon would reach them they
began, one by one, to jump from the
windows. David Miller sprang from
fourth story window and sustained
injuries which probably will cause his
death. Rosie Gallmann, Fannie Ber-
soft and Ryman Mettlemann, who
jumped from windows on the second
and third floors, have broken limbs
and were taken to hospitals. Several
others, were internally injured. Many
others who sustained more or less
serious bruises refused to go to hos
pitals.79
Weinstein and his wife and baby
were found lying dead in their rooms
on the top floor of the burning build
ing after the flames had been extin-
guished.
