LONE FIRE ESCAPE
 IS FATAL TO l3 Iron Becomes Heated, Trapping Guests in Minneapolis Hotel FIREMEN ARE ATTACKED
Fail to Bring Ladders and Are Rough ly Treated by Spectators-Many
 Precipitated Into Cellars When
 Floors Crumble.

Minneapolis, Feb. lZ.-AC least thirteen persons were believed to have lost their lives in a fire which de- stroyed the Kenwood hotel here short ly after midnight. according to police estimates today. In addition to known missing, there are eleven others un- accounted for who may be in the ruins. One person is known to be dead.
 Many of the seventy six guests were transients and the actual death list probably will never be known.
 The fire, which apparently started in the basement, spread rapidly and soon the building was enveloped in flames. The stairways were impossible and people rushed to the windows. While figures hung from many win dows, others shot through the air into nets and snow drifts. One woman, her. night clothing aflame, rushed from group of hysterical guests on the top floor and dropped from the window into a snow drift. She may live. '
 Crowd Attacks Bremen.
 When the fire broke out most of the other fire and it was nearly fifteen minutes before the first company reached the scene. A crowd of spec tators who were pushing blanks to rescue attacked the firemen because cd rn 1o11 to Fire Chief Charles Ringer. The police soon quelled the disturbance. The second company arrived with ladders several minutes later. A number of children were dropped from windows into the arms of spectators. None was seriously hurt.
 "We are at sea as to the number of deaths,'' said Earnest D. Stalker pro- prietor of the hotel. "Until the sur vivors are checked up the death list will be unknown"
 Chief Ringer declared recovery of bodies was unlikely, adding that iden- tification would be impossible when the bodies were dug from the ruins.
 While several of the injured were in a serious condition it was reported at the city hospital that most of them would recover. One woman who be- came hysterical after being rescued ran down the street screaming and her feet were frozen before she was over taken. Others, garbed in night attire suffered intensely in the ten below zero temperature.
 While the fire was at it's height Harry Jensen and his wife crawled tc a window ledge on the top floor. Fol a moment they paused, then Jenser embraced his wife and together they 1eaped to the street while spectator. cheered. Mrs. Jensen was badly in jured but her husband was not seri Ously hurt

Jake Loeb became presidents dis

Voters league, out today.
Access to financial records" has
been forbidden aldermen by the
school board and the NJ. " L. is TAX
ing the stand that such records ought
to be open to everybody and the al
dermen for and against the Jake
Loeb policy should be known. Says
the NJ. " L..
THE council in the summer of
1915, after talk of a school fund de-
felt had led to an inquiry into the
school boards financial affairs by a
committee of the council, passed an
order requiring the board of educa-
ton to give access to its financial
records for this investigation The
vote by which this resolution passed
was 40 yeas to 10 nays, those voting
no being: Norris, DePriest, Martin,
PettkOske, CUIlertOn, Mulac, Smith,
LaWley, SzymkOwsk, WalkOwlak,
Bowler, Powers, Miller, Geiger, Bau-
Ter, Ellison, Hrubec, Rea, TOman.
Since that time the courts, con-
trary to the opinion rendered by the
corporation counsel, have sustained
the contention of the council that it
has the right to investigate the finan-
cial affairs of the school board.
VIM. R. FetzeT, Republican candi-

voted for opening books of school

WHY MoURNINe7

The Dry Goods Economist, one of
the leading trade journals of the
country, is responsible for a move
ment which seeks to induce the peo-
pie of the United States to refrain
from wearing mourning garb during
the period of the war. In this cru
SADIE the Dry Goods Economist de-
serves the fullest measure Of sue
cess. If the habit of wearing
mourning" ever was in good taste
or ever was necessitated by the ac-
accepted proprieties - which we
gravely doubt-surely the exigencies
of the present situation are such as
to justify by common consent its
complete elimination for the time
being.
In the prosecution of this patriotic
movement the Dry Goods Economist
and those who have Joined hands
with it are actuated by double mo-
tive: First, to encourage a highly
necessary economy; second, to
shield the American people from a
common and powerful depressant.
Leading manufacturers and mer-
chants are urging the people of the
United States to cast aside mourn
ing during the war because they
realize that if, in addition to the
quantity worn in the natural course
of events and regardless of the war,
mourning be adopted on a scale
commensurate with the probable re-
suits of the war in relation to Amer
lean homes, business will be SER
iously disturbed and the national
spirit deeply depressed.
About all that seems necessary to
insure the adoption of this plan is
told in two words: realization and
courage. Once the people realize
that this is matter of high impor-
tance, that by needing it they can
conserve the country's material re-
sources while shielding the public
mind from a sOmbre spectacle and
the constant and widespread recur-
renee of which must inevitably tend
to lower the moral stamina of the
people and thus aid the enemies of
liberty, that will put it aside.

no one who will give them a mo-

COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL NEWS

| =
The new school year opened with
several out of the various classes
the total enrolment being much less
than what it has been in the past
years. Many of the boys are an
swering their country's call by
staying at home and doing their bit
on the farm, while older brothers
leaving home make it impossible for
some to attend school. ....
While the Senior class has man
aged to hold to its dozen, all the
other classes have decreased in
number, and especially the Fresh
man, as they number only seven,
that being partially due to the fact
that the Camargo Consolidated
School begins two year high school
course this year.
Misses Foley and McClain and
Messrs. Upton, Alfrey and Quisen-
berry have joined the merry Senior
class after being absent some two
or three weeks.
On Thursday of Patriotic Week,
Bros. Coils and Darsie took lunch
con in the High School dining room,
and in the afternoon gave two in
teresting talks on Patriotic America,
the Belt Line school participating in
the program.
The first Friday in the year, the
Black and Gold Literary Society
met and elected the following off
GERS from the Senior class: Presi-
dent, Donald Quisenberry; Vice.
President, Willie Garrett; Secretary,
Willie Foley. The Society remains
divided as last year, Emersonians,
Ethel West, Capt, and Robt. Payne,
Critic; Allans, Donald Quisenberry,
Capt, and Nell Hollearn, Critic.
The two teams have each render
ed one program, and hardly as much
interest is being manifested as was
but this will soon be over
come. We would like to have the
encouragement; help and presence
of the parents in every society meet
ing.
Miss Ethel West is acting as sub
stitute teacher in the Lane school /
his week, and it is not known how
ong she will teach there, but the
Seniors hope it will not be long.
