MANY GIRLS IN ERR
Two Killed and Seven Hurt in Scran-
ton Fire.

o. Fire.
Two girls were killed and seven
others seriously injured in a fire at
Scranton, Pa, Friday in a building &C.
cupied by the Imperial Underwear
factory. About 200 girls were employ
ed in the building when the alarm of
fire was sounded.
Florence Watrous was caught in the
burning building and she met a horri-
BILE death in the flames. Marie Buck
ley, with a number of other girls,
jumped from the fire escape and broke
her neck. All were burned on the
fire escape before jumping, and they
are suffering from broken limbs and
internal injuries.
n fire is supposed to have been
started by the upsetting of a glue pot
located in the basement Of the build
ing, which was four stories high. The
flames spread rapidly and most of the
girls on the third and fourth floors
fled to the fire escapes. These got as
far as the second story, from where
they jumped to the areaway. Many Of
the girls fled down the one narrow
stairway Of the building. In their ter
ror some tainted and there was a jam
on the stairs which threatened serious
sequences, but fortunately the firemen
were able to get them all out safely.
The loss is $4,000.

CHILDREN ALONE ON CLAIM.
Father Disappears After Starting on
q Trim to Miller.

A distressing case has been called to
the attention of some of the residents
OF the western part of Stanley county,
1t is that Of the four small children
% Frank Fox, a homesteader, who
several months ago left his children
To look after the homestead and sew,
eral head of horses and cattle and de-
parted for Miller, S. d. Why he has
not returned is a mystery. It is not
believed he would deliberately aban-
don his children on a lonely home
stead, SO it is thought in some quar-
ters that some misfortune may have
befallen him.. The mother of the
children is in the state hospital for
the insane at Yankton. The oldest
child is a girl of 10 years of age, who
has the responsibility Of looking after
the smaller children and several head
of stock. The little tots are COM
PEELED to go a distance of three miles
for water and in the event of a sever
snow storm or blizzard they would
be in desperate straits. 1t is probable
the authorities or neighbors will do
something for the relief Of the aban-
doned children.

Profession without a License.

DR.. C. L. Carlisle, a Sioux Falls dem
tist, who only a few days ago was fined
500 in the state circuit court and
sentenced to q term of twenty days in
the county Jail, the Jail portion of the
sentence being conditional upon he
good behavior of the defendant, has
again been arrested on the charge of

having in the past secured the arrest
of DR.. Carlisle several times on a sim
liar charge. AS the result of his trial
before a jury in a local justice court on
the last charge, DR.. Carlisle was con-
victed. 1t was maintained by the de-
Tense that he nae not practiced dem
tistry since the recent judgment of the
circuit court, but the prosecution had
evidence to the effect that he had
completed some work which was par
TALLY finished at the time of the jurg-
ment of the circuit court. Notice has
been given by the attorneys of DR.. Car
Isle in the last case that an appeal
will be taken to the state circuit

Two-CENT FARE KNOCKED OUT.

valid.

al
The 2-cent railroad fare now in
force in Pennsylvania was Monday
declared unconstitutional by the state
supreme court, which handed down an
opinion affirming the decision of the
common pleas court of Philadelphia.
rendered last September.
The decision declares the real ques-
ton in the case is whether the new
rate law transgresses the provisions of
the constitution-that legislative pow
er to alter charters shall be exercised
only In such names that no injustice
shall be lone to corporations.
Continuing, it says:
"A corporation is entitled to make a
fair profit on every branch OF its bust
ness. subject to the Limitation that it's
corporate duties must be performed
even though at a loss. What is a fair
profit is a highly complicated and diff
cult question. The court below avail
ed themselves Of all the best evidence
that was offered or shown to be OBJ
tainable, considered it with exemplary
patience and care, and their conclu-
sions that the enforcement Of the act
against the complainant would do
injustice to the c~orporators is beyond
just criticism"

LIES BOOK.

Life is book of pages white
And will the hand with which we
write;
Our slightest act its impress makes,
Each thot that's formed some image
takes
Kind words there CLEAN as rays of
light
Loves every token clear and bright
The aid | to another give
Adds that much to the life ! live;
The tears that form the eyelids star,
In pity Tor some broken heart,
Are pure enough to cleanse wrongs
night
And lead us toward the morning
light
For PHYS voice if once It's heard
Has sweeter sound than any bird,
And in the heart will sow the seeds
That blossom forth in loving deeds.
The hand that's given the weak to
rise
Helps build a ladder to the skies;
Whose rounds are wide enough for
two,
You mount with me and l with You.
The beauty OF the summer sky
Reflected is in each glad eye,
My life from yours some colors take
AS stars CLEAN in the silvery lake.
The love we give in service sweet,
Returns to us with eager feet,
So rich becomes the hearts great
store
We haste to give ere it flows DER.
So shedding kindness, hope and light
We make each page of life's book
bright;
And where the shadows tall between,
May they but lead oves fair
sheen,
: Till Pickering dimly in and out,
By perfect day be put to bout.
