ELIZABETH MULLEN SERIOUSLY BURNED Gasoline Overflow Catches Fire and Ignites Clothing. Expected to Recover. Mrs. Elizabeth Mullen was burned severely Friday afternoon while endeavoring to carry a blazing gasoline stove from the house. She was helping her neice, Mrs. Scott Sharp, at the latter’s home on Boston Street, when the accident occurred. The gasoline stove was a small one of the type that has a sort of cup wherein the gasolire is allowed to flow and is then lit for the purpose of generating. In this cup Mrs. Mullen allowed the gasoline to overflow into the bottom of the stove and when lit the drippings set fire to that which had run over. She immediately grabbed the stove with the intention ofcarrying it outdoors, but ran against the screen-door and her clothes were covered with the burning liquid. She was taken to the home of her brother, Daniel Searfoss, where a doctor attended to her wants. Mrs. Mullen was burned severely on the left arm and left limb, over the abdomen, chest and back, but her recovery is assured if no unforseen complications arise. National Chaplain Nominated. Rev.

Why Did They Move? The Indiana University Biological Station for the season of 1912, its 18th annual session, enrolls 58 students. These students represent all sections of the country as well as some foreign countries. This is the same school that started at Vawter Park in 1896 with 25 students, mostly members of the Indiana University as teachers or students. At the third session 103 entered for that year’s work. The first two years were so full of interest, the field for investigations of Biological subjects was so rich and extensive and the local conditions for the development of what then promised to be a growing and all important institution, that those connected with its management looked forward to the succeeding years with no small pride in their venture. The next year 1899 found the school at Winona with an enrollment below that of 1898, and it is the general belief that in point of numbers and interest that of the last year at Wawasee was the banker year of the schools existence. The physical conditionsat Wawasee surpass those of any other field in Northern Indiana and there is no good reason for keeping the school in an environment which dwarfs its growth. Come on back to Wawasee where the University school can grow to its full statue. Prof. Chauncey Juday of the Wisconsin University, who is an Elkhart County boy, will be at the Biological station to give a series of lectures. Prof. Juday was one of the first students enrolled in 1896 and carried forward much of the initial work which served to give the school distinction among the scientific schools of the West. Harve Weaver and James Mare of Goshen, were calling on old friends here Tuesday.

RECEIVES BURNS . THAT GAUSE DEATH . , S . L ■ ~ ; Mrs. Shirly Longacre Dies From Burns Received When House Burns. A fire that entirely destroyed the house and contents and in which Mrs. Shirly Longacre received burns that caused her death occured about two miles this side of North Webster, last Friday noon. An unexplained mystery attaches itself to the origin of the blaze. Mrs. Longacre put kindling into the kitchen range and poured kerosene on the kindling and turned to a shelf for a match when an explosion occurred. This was between 11 and 12 o’clock and there had been no fire in the stove since five o’clock that morning. Her clothing caught fire and she ran out of the door frantic with pain. An effort was made to get her to the pump, failing in this, she rolled upon the ground, and her clothes were partially torn from her in an endeaver to put out the fire which enveloped her person. She was removed to the home of her father, Wm. Gilbert, where her death occurred that evening. Mr. Longacre was at Mr., Gilbert’s helping with hay making and came as soon as possible. The house was fully insured, but the contents only partly. Millie May Longacre was born in Turkey Creek township, where her parents now live, on October 2. 1899, her age at the time of her death, was 22 years, 9 months and 3 days. She was united in marriage to Shirly Longacre, November 16, 1907. She leaves to mourn her departure, husband and little son, 4 years of* age, father, mother and one sister, and other relatives, and a host of friends who deeply sympathize with the family in their sorrow. The funeral was held at North Webster, Sunday. Wet Another Year Rochester is to have the licensed saloon for at least another year. This much became known for a positive fact Monday when the board of Fulton county commissioners granted licenses to four retailers of the city. Notice To Patrons.

IN IHE TOILS JJF THE LAW Two Syracuse Men Are Hauled Before the Court and Fined. Constable Davol of Warsaw, came over Tuesday morning and took into custody, Frank Traister, charged with selling and giving intoxicating liquors to a minor, and Jno. C. Sloan, better known as “Sid”, charged with public intoxication. Both men plead guilty before Justice H. W. Graham of Warsaw, and the minimum fine for their crimes were imposed upon them. Frank Traister was fined $3225, and John Sloan, $13.57. Taken Suddenly 111. Last Wednesday while working in the hay field Edmund Darr was suddenly taken very ill. Upon calling Dr. Hoy it was discovered that he had a very severe attack of appendicitis. He was taken to the Wesley hospital at Chicago Friday and operated upon immediately. His appendix was found to have bursted and gangreen had set in. For several days his case was considered hopeless, but latest reports are that he stands a good chance of recovery. Messimore, State Senator J. W. Messimore formerly editor of the Syracuse Register is now traveling for a wholesale printing establishment located in Chicago. Incidentally he is seeking political honors as Marshall county’s candidate for the state legislature. Good Service. The Dale Carnival Company that showed here for a week carried their own electric lighting fixtures ready to connect with the local company’s power plant. Their individual show tents were generously supplied with plain and colored incandescent lamps which made the whole collection a brilliant and pleasing spectacle. Speaking of the character of the service and the current furnished by the Syracuse Light Co., the carnival people all declared the Syra-. cuse electric current was the best they have ever had. The company usually shows in towns from three to twenty thousand inhabitants where the electric ligh< plants are of much greater extent than that of Syracuse. The service furnished by our Mr. Binkley and his assistants was also appreciated by the company. Our light company people are now giving constant current and first class service to Syracuse and Milford. All the merchants have Chautau-1 qua tickets on sale. . !

Moon at Close Range. Among the many popular attractions scheduled to appear at the Chautauqua this summer, perhaps none will arouse more intense interest than the great Clark telescope, carried with Dr. E. L. Eaton, the popular and scientific lecturer. Before and after each evening lecture and entertainment, the telescope which is 900 times more powerful than the naked eye, will be free to all patrons of the Chautauqua who desire to take a stroll along the Milky Way, or to view the man in the moon at a hand shaking distance, or to forget the heat of summer by gazing at the snow caps of Mars. The telescope will be in charge of Dr. Eaton’s son, Howard who will also assist in operating the stereopticon. The musical influences of several nationalities have united in making Prof. Reimestad the foremost Norwegian tenor in America. He was born in Norway, is now a citizen of the United States, and has taken a long course of voice culture in Germany under some of the greatest vocal teachers of that nation. These teachers, who stand at the head of £he German musical profession, have praised the work of Prof. Reimestad in no uncertain terms. . The other member of Prof. Reimestad’s Company is Kenneth A. Cranston, an exceptional fine young lyric tenor. These two tenor voices blend perfectly in their duet work, producing an effect that is seldom equalled. All through the Northwest where this company has been doing concert work recently, the press has been most liberal in singing their praises. Nearly every paper says that a return of this company would assure a crowded house.

Y, collected all the available valuables he could carry from the Lake View Hotel and proceeded to disappear. The young man had been working as a sort of porter at the hotel for the part two weeks and was considered trust-worthy. One of the guests and some of the members of the Boland family and the above mentioned young man were in bathing and retired to their respective rooms to dress about 9:30, Friday evening. Young Selton remained up-stairs after the rest had came down-with the expressed intention of retiring.
