Mrs. Carl Anderson.

Mrs. Carl Anderson, wife of the
Book merchant, passed from this
world into the next on Wednesday of
last week. Her death came as a re-
suit of burns sustained three weeks
ago when her little daughter upset
a lamp. 1t appears that Mrs. Ander-
son was in her husbands store just
prior to the accident. Mr.. and Mrs.
Anderson and family resided in
rooms above the store, and their
child upset a lamp in one of the iy-
ing rooms upstairs. Upon hearing
screams Mrs. Anderson started to
ascend the stairs, but before she
reached the top domestic in her
employ sliced the lamp and HURLED
it down the stairway. The flaming
lamp struck Mrs. Anderson and
ignited her clothing. Before ths
flames were extinguished she was
severely burned. The best of medi.
Cal attendance was ,resorted to but
to no avail. Her son, Azel: who
extinguished the flames was also
severely burned. 7'.
TIE last sad rites were were con.
Quoted Saturday at the church in
Book. The final services were
largely attended by numerous friends
of the deceased and interment was
in the Book cemetery.
Mrs. Anderson was gracious
woman who had the love and esteem
of all who enjoyed her acquaintance.
Besides host of friends she leaves
to mourn her demise, a husband and
ten children-six. sons and four
daughters. -

Strict Compliance with Law Necessary.

Strict Compliance With Law Necessary.

town of Daley on the 5th inst. for
the purpose Of voting on the propo-
sition of bonding the town to the
extent of $4,000 for road improve
ments, it was tie vote-l2 in favor
and IL against. The law requires 60
per cent of the votes cast to carry a
bonding proposition for roads, hence
it would have required Is votes.
In the first place it required a
petition signed by Is voters and
freeholders to call a special election
for the purpose above designated.
(See sec. S, chap. 235 laws of 1913.
If every provision Of the law rela-
tive TO voting bonds is not strictly

The legislator who votes for an

other than some minor curative
words in the law, should be retired
at once. For fifty years, at least
since the admission of the state into
the union Of states, we have had
''local authorities caring for the
roads and we have nothing to show
for the expenditure of money made.
Let us try the Dunn law fairly and

repeal it. The /kidlet has made a
