Mother and Two Children Meet
Awful Death
ON ROOF WHICH GAVE WAY


Peoria, ILL.,, Jan. 5.--Mrs. Linton
Davidson and her two children were
burned to death today in a fire which
destroyed the Hevenden livery barn
on Main street. Mrs. Davidson's hus-
band jumped from a second story
window to the pavement and suffered
injuries which may prove fatal.
Davidson did not jump until after
he had put his wife and children on
the roof where he thought they would
be safe until rescued.
Mrs. Davidson feared to jump from
the roof with the babies and when it
tumbled in, all three were precipitated
into veritable furnace of fire.
Joseph Pacey, an aged man is also
supposed to have persisted in the
flames.

Devils Lake, N. D., Jan. 5.-Col. B..
g. Whitehead, editor of The Willisron
State, was a passenger homeward
bound from a trip to st. Paul on the
Puget Sound express yesterday.
At the station Colonel Whitehead, in
talking to a Forum reporter, said that

senator had recently acquired control
of The Williston Herald and that for
NAL announcement Of the change
would soon be made. A man from
Courtney viii be placed in charge. The
price paid for The Herald is not stated
but Editor Disney has been asking
$4,000 for the property, and it is not
likely he sold it for any less. The
Standard Oil crowd, however, does not
allow monetary consideration to inter-
fere with its plans to fill up the o. S.
senate witch men who can be depended
upon to protect its interests. Within
the past three months newspaper
changes involving 100000 have been
made in North Dakota, and more are
now being negotiated. 1t would seem
that the people of this state ought to
wake up to what is going on. Before
the campaign has advanced very far
there will be few papers left I'm the
state to warn the people of the opera
tions Of the greatest trust in the
world, and the few that are left win
have but ioe Calculations. so that the
warning they may give win not extend
beyond the confines of the county In
which they are published.
Every republican newspaper of any
influence is being fixed and the paraly-
tic touch of Standard Oil seems to
have frozen the tongues of some Of
the alleged democratic newspapers.

her. In six months time the itching,

day she feels much in debt to Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment for the fine
head OF hair she has for an old lady
