Trade at Monroe City and Save Money

At about 1145 a. m Monday
lightning struck the dome of the
public school building in this city s
and set the structure on fire. The
alarm of fire was given at once and j
the fire engine and hose reel were
on the scene in very few minutes
in charee of our volunteer fire
company The heavy bolt OF light
ming caused considerable excitement
among teachers and pupils. Super
intendent Sipple and one OF the
larger boys rushed to the top OF the
building with fire extinguishers
while the teachers proceeded to
clear the building of children. The
several hundred pupils in the
building at the time, all moved out
in more or less good order in frac-
ton over two minutes In The
meantime Prof Sipple with his fire
extinguishers was doing good work
in the cupola so that when the fire
company arrived it was an easy
matter to extinguish the fire The
damage will only amount to a
couple of hundred dollars. 1t was
fortunate indeed that the fire oc-
Cured in the day time. Had it
occurred at night it is very prob
able the fine building would have
been entirely destroyed. The teach
ers deserve great credit for the cool

Interesting News Concerning the
Different Denominations.
This Column Closes Promptly at .
a. m. Each Wednesday,

A Contest was entered into by
the Christian, Episcopal, Grace Bap-
tist. Presbyterian and First Baptist
Sunday Schools of Monroe City
April 1st, 1911 to continue six
months. The time expired Sunday
Sept 24th. The points of the Con-
test were percentage of attendance
and total enrolment, percentage OF
punctuality and number present
and per cent Of increase of mem
bership. If all the officers were
present and on time it counted 2OO
If all the teachers were present and
on time it counted 200 If all the
scholars were present and on time
it counted 200 making six points
each Sunday. Should either of the
three classes fail to be present or
on time it indicated the per cent
less than 100 per GENT that was
made. These six points were add
ed together and divided by six to
show the per cent made. The oftic'
ers of the schools feel that the Con
test has been quite a help to the
schools and stimulated all to bt
more, punctual and regular in thel
attendance and realize the import
ance of united and concerted effor
in order to succeed in SUNDAY
School work" We think it has taus
ed the schools TO have more. low
and respect foreack other.
The result of the Contest in pei
centage is as follows:

To A Happy Hunting Ground.

Indians Of the United States and
particularly of the Southwest, are
dying so rapidly that it is predicted
by statisticians that within forty
years if the present rate is main
tanned, the race of red men will be
practically extinct.
The death rate is now about SO
Indians. a day, which is not Offset
by the birth rate TO the extent that
will preserve the Indians as a race
An average of fifty red men a day
are dying on the reservations of
the country according to figures
which have been received at the
reservation here. A straRge part
Iof this record is that the greatest
number of deaths are occurring in
the Southwest, including California,
while IN the states of the Central
| West. where Indians reside in large
numbers, the decrease has been
much less, and in some tribes there
has been an actual increase during
the past half dozen years,
Why the death rate should b.
higher in the mild weather zone
where an equable temperature pre-
walls the year round, and wher
Indians may spend most of thei
time out of doors than in colde
climates which have a constant
varying temperature experts hav
, been unable to determine. Los Al

MAN
LOSES APPEAL ON
INHERITANCE TAX
Decision in Eastwood Case
Means Saving to State of
$1,000,O 900 Every Year.

TRENTON, Sept. 30.-The Court of
Errors and Appeals yesterday gave an
important decision in a collateral tax
inheritance case, which finally estab-
lished the law of 1894 and saves the
State nearly 5 1900, 600 every year. The
test was made by John Fl. Eastwood,
president of the Belleville Board of
Trade, and head of the Eastwood Wire
Manufacturing Company and Eastwood
Chemical Company.
John Eastwood, of Belleville, died
in 1908 and ~bequeathed the bulk of his
estate to John H. Eastwood, a rela-
tive, but not a IN. The collateral in
heritance tax was imposed March 10,
1909, under the law of 1894 as amended
in 1906. amounting to $35, 435.
Certiorari proceedings were begun by
Eastwood to nave the assessment set
aside on the ground that the act as
amended was unconstitutional. He
made the contention that the amend
ment affected the original act. so that
there was no authority for levying the
assessment.
The Supreme Court, to which the
case was taken, gave Judgment in favor
of the surrogate. George e. Russell,
sustaining the assessment and the act
under which it was made. The deci-
sion of the Court of Errors and APP
peals sustains this judgment.

FOUR IN DANGER
WHEN BIC AUTO
LANDS IN MARSH
Chauffeur Thrown Out as Ma
chine Crashes Into Pole on
Kearny Meadows.

Three men asleep in q large truck
automobile narrowly escaped death
last night when the machine in which
they were riding suddenly shot into
the meadows while the vehicle was
crossing the Kearny turnpike about a
mile east of Harrison. The chauffeur
of the machine was thrown headlong
into the meadows, and the fact that he
landed in the soft marsh is probably
what saved him from serious injury.
The auto, owned by Frank Richter, a
v of $50 Main street, Union Hill,
was driven by George w. Clarke, of
Union Hill. Clarke had made repairs to
the machine at Buffers garage. at $50
Harrison avenue, Harrison. The ma
chine was going at a good rate of speed
over the macadam turnpike. Without
any warning the big car shot to the
right n into the meadows.
Clarke was catapulting through the
air before he knew what had happened.
He crept to terra firma and opening
the rear door of the machine found his
companions, Frederick Webb, George
e. Wilson and William Hunt, sprawled
out on hi floor. The impact had thrown
them from their bunk, which is built
above the seat. Wilson complained
that his head had been hurt.
The car was held fast by a trolley
pole, and 1t was only this that kept it
from topping over, The machine was
in such a position as to make it inn
possible for trolley cars to use the
eastbound track. The repair ear was
sent for, and Bernard Tuite after sew
araI hours' work. managed to get the
auto back on the road. Depot Master
John Sweeney, at the turnpike barns.
kept the traffic open.
