AGED WOMAN BURNED.

Last Sunday morning the citizens
of this city were arcused by the ring
ing of the fire bell and word passed
along that Mrs Bertha Aslakson's
house was on fire. The firemen were
promptly on the ground with the
chemical engines and held the fire in
check until the fire engine could be
steamed and stream of water turned
on, but by that time the building was
a wreck. Mrs. Aslakson was about
80 years of age and lived alone and
when taken from the building was
about suffocated and died soon after
There has been much speculation as
to the origin of the fire but no one
will ever know how it originated.
This was the third death caused by
fire in this county during the month
of Madison Press.

DIES IN SANBORN SALOON.

Rather a sad ending on this earth
came to Chas. Schroeder on Thanks
giving day when he was suddenly
taken with an attack of heart failure
at about 10 o'clock in the forenoon
in the Louie Weber saloon. Mr.
Schroeder had been working on the
old post Office building up to the day
of his death. A few minutes before
the end came he entered the saloon
and was eating turkey sandwich
when he suddenly fell over and was
carried to the rear end of the build
ing into the fresh aid and placed on
a chair, the bystanders thinking he
suffered nothing worse than faint
ing spell. The doctor was summoned
and upon his arrival it was found
that death had come.-Sanborn Sen

A Tribute to Myrtle Lauridsen.

Resolved, That we, the students
and teachers of the Montpelier high
school and Eighth grade, do extend
our heartfelt sympathy to the fam
lily of our beloved school mate and
pupil, Myrtle Lauridsen.
AS class mate we shall miss her
friendship, her sweet sympathy and
kind helpfulness. Her passing from
US leaves vacant a place that can
never be filled. There must have
been in her life something that set
her apart from the rest of us for as
we approached the final test of the
year the Great Examiner looked into
her pure soul and recognizing in her
alone, wonderful fitness, babe her
Come up higher"
AS pupil, she has shown to each
member of the faculty a sweet re-
responsiveness that has endeared her
to all. Her quick comprehension and
keen appreciation of any help, how
ever trivial, caused her teachers in
all grades to consider her not only
"a
an exceptional student but true
friend.
In every enterprise of the school
she has shown a keen interest and
her spirit of loyalty has been an ex-
ample to all. Altho not member
of the first team in basketball, her
excellent work and faithfulness to
the team made her one of the great
est factors in any progress accom-
plished by the girls this year. Her
ability to think and act quickly, to
play fairly and her prompt obedience
to those under whose guidance she
came, all give us strong assurance
that she WAS ready when the call
came.
Her last words expressed desire
that she might pass" SO well has
she lived that the allotted time was
not necessary for the completion of
her work; SO faithfully was she pre-
pared that we know that her last pro-
motion came with Honor"
