FOUR PERSONS BURNED
TO DEATH AT WARR0AD
D. A. Inman, Mother, Sister and Son
Victims of Flames.
Mrs. Inman and Four Children, Bad
ly Burned, Escape with Lives.

Warroad, Minn., May S.-Four
persons were burned to death and
five others seriously injured when
the home of D. A. Inman, two and
o!ne-half miles from here was COM
pletely destroyed by fire at 2:30
Sunday morning.
The dead:
D. A. Inman, aged So.
Mrs. Inman, his mother, aged 92.
Nancy Underkoffer, sister, aged
so.
George Inman, son, aged TO-.
The injured: Mrs. Inman and
four children.
Mrs. Inman, mother Of D. A. In
man, Mrs. Underkoffer, and George
Inman slept on the first floor;
George on a cot in the living room,
and the two women in an adjoining
bedroom. The rest of the family
slept upstairs. The cry of fire was
given by Mrs. Underkoffer. Mr.. and
Mrs. Inman and four children on the
second floor, all managed to fight
their way through the flames down
the stairway and outdoors, Mr.. In
man carrying an 11-year old boy.
Upon reaching the outside door he
flung the boy out and turned intend
ing to enter and render assistance to
his aged mother, at the same time
calling to his wife to break open the
bedroom window from the outside.
This she did, burning and cutting
her hands in the act.
Inman Suffocated.
1t is thought Mr.. Inman was
quickly suffocated upon entering the
house as he failed to reappear and
repeated calls from Mrs. Inman, at
the. window failed to bring a re-
sponse. Later his charred remains
were found at the door where he
had apparently fallen out backward.
The four bodies were all burned be-
yond recognition. The survivors,
Mrs. Inman and four children, Lois,
aged 18. Ida, 12, Halle, II, and the
youngest a girl Of 6, received medi-
cal aid as soon as possible. While
they are severely burned and suffer-
ing untold agonies, there is hopes Of
their recovering. One of the young
er children as soon as she was safe
outside, ran to home Of Howard In
man, brother, living half a mile
away, but he reached the scene too
late to render any help.
The cause of the fire is unknown,
but there was an incubator in one
corner of the living room, and tie
supposition is that the dog had upset
the lighted lamp under it in meking
a bed fer himself.

LIVING WITHIN AN ALLOWANCE

There is considerable discussion to the effect OF the
tax limitation law amendment to the constitution, and
considerable uneasiness the finances needed to
nv on the affairs of the state 1t is indeed depar
tre Heretofore the question Of for supporting
the many affairs of the state matter that depended
entirely on the feeling Of the legislators and the influ
ences that could be brought to bear upon them We have
some fifty boards and commissions In the state telling us
what we ought to do and how should do it, Each OF
these costs money maintain and adds to the amount
of taxes that must be raised Each of these boards and
commissions as well the educational institutions OF the
state and all the others naturally feels that whatever is
done their especial feature should not be nterferred
with The educational branch thinks that instead OF
having its income reduced that it should be increased to
meet growing demands. 1t is so with each board and
commission Under the old system it was easy to accom-
modate all and provide for ALL but it required heavy
tax to do this Now it is different The legislature has
so much cloth and out of it it must fashion garments for
the whole family of state children 1t necessarily follows
that there will have to be dispensing with fris and
there will be no extra cloth to put in the tails OF any OF
the coats Some Of the big boys may have to wear round
a-bouts and of the others may have difficulty IN
making the bottoms of their overas meet their shoe tops
but it will have to be managed some way by the
legislature
The situation SO far as the state is concerned new
one but the same thing commended by experts in the
matter Of domestic economy They recommend the head
of the family giving the wife allowance for household
expenses and passing the matter of making it go round
up to the little who manages the family attalrs
If she can get away with the problem alone it would seem
that the legislature with 80 men and woman in each
house to help them should be able to make the state
penses stay within the prescribed limit If they can't
they can do as the head of the family is recommended to
do turn the job over to "The Lady of the House"

A JUST AND WISE RULING

The Oregon Voter discussing the ruling OF the inter
state commerce commission requiring railroads to grant
the same rates from eastern points to the coast by way
Of Seattle and Portland that now granted over the
southern route by way of New Orleans and Los Angeles
points out that it will work hardship the Northern
roads OF course there several viewpoints and we do
not all see things just the same 1t would seem though
that instead of being injury it would be benefit to
the Northern roads, 1t would give them that much more
travel and consequently that much more income and it
would do this without putting them to any extra expense
In fact most if not all the travel induced to take the
northern route could and would be handled without eX-
ira trains or equipment and would in sense be pick
up However the roads be depended on to make
sufficient objections if the order hurts them or if they
think it may and it is borrowing trouble for outsiders
to do any of the worrying. That it will be of great
benefit to the Northwest is certainty. Against the
hotels and accommodations that appeal to the stomach

tiona park the Grand Gorge Of the Columbia with Its

A SUGGESTED REMEDY

One remedy suggested for the high cost of living for
consumers to carry home their supplies from the
grocery instead of having them delivered We fear the
gentleman who made the suggestion did not delve deep
into the matter In order carry things from the grocer
enc must first go from home to the grocery Now this
raises the question of distance and how long would
take to make the trip and the cost If the purchaser had
to take street in order to reach the store there
would be ten cents outlay that would well be spent in
having the goods delivered True could walk, but
beyond certain. distance if ones time is worth any
thing, it is saving to the Besides if the dis
tance is such that be walked without too much loss

the question: Can several hundred people go down
after their groceries and carry them home cheapy
than the store deliver them Besides the fellow that
carries home his stuff finds that the price of butter and
eggs is the same anyway or practically so. When the
groceries make price for goods delivered and another
for those carried home by the purchaser there will be
opportunity for the plan to be tried out Salem has such
store where prices based the purchaser carry

Calls Attention to
RusselFs Prediction

Now wouldn't t it beat thunder and
red lightning if our old friend, Pas.
tor Russell, should turn out to be a
true prophets 1t may be bitter pill
for us to swallow, but we have to ad-
nit that he knows something or is a
mighty good guesser.
For more than thirty years Russell
has been predicting that all existing
governments were doomed to fall, and
that the year 1911 would mark the be-
ginning of the end. Take particular
notice of that date. 1t is a positive
fact that in a book which he wrote,
printed and copyrighted over thirty
years ago, Russell mentions over and
over the date, 1914, as the time whes
something big would begin to happen
Well, we do know that something
started right kerdab on the date that
Russell said something would start and
none of us are smart enough yet to
prove that it won t wind up just as he
says it will. 1t don t require any
stretch of imagination to see how the
nations of the east, by going on in
their present mad course, can totally
destroy each other, And if this coun.
try follows Wilson and Roosevelt and
their gang of war jingoes, we will be
drawn into it and go just like the rest
And SO if Pastor Russell don t turn
out to be a true prophet, it certainly
won t be the fault of the military lead
ers of the world and their following OF
war jingoes who are all out whooping
it up for the great International Sui
eide club of the World.-The Fool Kill
