Baby is Burned to Death

Saltwater Messenger:
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Strebel of
Oak Park met with terrible misfor-
tune Wednesday when their little son
William Eugene aged two, was burned
to death playing with matches. The
mother left the child alone for few
moments expecting her older son to
come home. and when he did he found
his little brother in flames. The
neighbors were hurriedly summoned
but the child suffered such burns that
he quickly died. 1t is believed that
the little fellow caught fire from polk
ing pieces of a catalog into the stove
as three pieces were found through
holes in the isinglass.

Although this firm has been in bust
ness but few weeks, a splendid
business has forced itself on them,
in a time and at q season of the
year when they expected very little
business. About September I, this
firm will put in it's own wires to
eastern markets. Service and salts
faction will be the great effort.
Messrs. Culbertson and Macaulay
will do strictly brokerage business.
They have no pet and secret flota-
lions. They will not be in the mar
ket themselves, therefore unblinded
by speculative distempers or preju-
dice.
L. L. Culbertson needs no intro
duction to Duluth investors. He was
reared here and made a great sue
cess in the fruit commission business.
He has to his credit successful min
Ing promotions and a broad, sea-
soned understanding of the stock
brokerage business.
A. R. Macaulay has been at the
head of the lakes for eight years as
operator of wires for different bro
kerage houses and as an operator for
the Associated Press. He has had a
broad experience and is thoroughly
in sympathy with a conservative,
conscientious policy.

Chief Of Police should be a
bright, shining and consistent
example to every man on the
force and even to every citizen
Of the city.
Two poorly paid patrolmen
are discharged for taking a few
dollars they badly needed
(marked bills were used and
the men may have been more
trapped than sinning) but the
Chief Of Police takes an auto.
mobile worth $500 and nothing
is said about it. Further than
that, he uses it for personal JOY
rides to the neglect of duty and
so far as anyone has informa.
ton, fills his tanks ont Of the
city supply, whether using the
car for police duty, a trip to
Pike Lake, Winton, St. Paul OF
any other purely personal pur.
pose.
The evil effects of being bitten
by big Speed Bug and riding
on costly cushions are further il.
Illustrated by recent happening
Chief McKercher was called to
Lacrosse, Wisconsin, as a fed.
eral witness in the Bob Shields
white slavery case. He went on
neither city nor state business
He took the train to St. Pau
and, by the time he arrived, got
so lonesome for that dear old
Marmon car that he telephoned
the department to send it down
to St. Paul. Bailey, driver OF
the patrol wagon, had to take
the car down, at the expense OF
time and money belonging to the
City Of Duluth. In Bailey's alb.
sence, one of several headquar.
tiers men had to drive the patrol
car.
There is general feeling
throughout the city that groom.

docks, joy-riding plentifully and
properly performing the regular
duties Of Chief Of Police, are en-.
tirely too much for one man

The recent school election may

complacent people but, if you

From every section of St.
Louis county and from all walks
of life, comes the unanimous re-
port that the prestige, power and
popularity of the Courthouse
King are disappearing like the
mist before a morning sun.
War clouds in the First COM
missioner's district hang dark

dove Of peace is uttering startled
cries. New foremen with old
workers mix just like oil and

Hibbing, "The Richest Village
on Earth" now maintains a mu-
nicipal day nursery, where fond
mamas may leave little Lucille
and boisterous Reginald while
they attend to their shopping.
The best of care and attention is
advertised.
Already, the spirit Of independ-
ence and decency in public af-
fairs as preached by the Rip-saw,
is bearing fruit all over St. Louis
county. In proof thereof, note
several recent school board cleo
lions. Several states were broken
and more than one old regime
was ended.
These young fellows, hardly
over the Threshold of life, going
away to become cannon fodder,
are the saddest sight Duluth has
seen in all her history. Many

A great many decent fellows,

Of value, or derive any benefit,

indirectly, from, or by reason of,
any Improvement, alteration or
repair required by authority of
the city, or any contract to which
the City shall be a party, except
his lawful compensation or salary

officer or employee Of the City, ex-
cept as otherwise provided in this
charter, shall solicit, accept or

from any public service corpora
ton, or the owner Of any public
utility or franchise in the City,
any pass, frank, free ticket, free

violation Of any Of the provi-
sions Of this section shall dis

1t takes no clever, highly paid
lawyer to fit the foregoing ex,
tract from the charter to the
case Of Chief of Police McKer-

Then the state law, Sec. $40,
has this to say, viz:
Every executive or admins

receive any emolument, gratuity
or reward, or any promise of
emolument, gratuity or reward,
except as shall be authorized by
law, for doing any official act,
shall be guilty of a gross mis-

A gross misdemeanor in the

either by a fine Of 81, 900 or one
year in the county jail.
