CHILD FATALLY
I
Fall Into Fire, and So Terribly
Burned That It Passes Away
Next Morning.
A distressing accident occurred at
ae homo of Ira Parker Monday
afternoon which resulted In the death
of a little 3-year-old child'. Mr.
Farker lives on the road between
Avoca and Nehawka. It seems that
a bonfire had been started to burn
ftome trash, and the same had almost
died out, when the child made its
pparanc and was playing around
the dying embers.
In some manner the child's cloth
ing caught fire and when discovered
by the mother the child ran away and
the mother was unable to catch it at
I ret, but finally did so and tore the
burning clothing from its little body
m soon as possible, but not until the
elothing had almost burned off. The
hild had fallen on the live coals, face
forward, and Its little hands and
rras were burned almost to a crisp.
As soon as possible Dr. Brendel of
Avoca was called and done all in his
ewer to relieve the little one's suf
fering, but the burns were so severe
"that the child died Tuesday morning.
The mother's hands were badly burn
ed in an effort to tear the burning
lothing from the little ore. It is
very sad affair and cast a gloom
ever the entire neighborhood. The
arents have the sympathy of the en
tire community in this, the hour of
heir sad bereavement.
The funeral occurred Wednesday
ternoon and the little darling was
aid at rest In the Avoca cemetery in
he presence of a large concourse of
eighbors and sympathetic friends.

DRESSES HIGH SCHOOL
Rev. Father M. A. Shine, pastor of
St. John's Catholic church of this
lty, addressed the students of the
High Bchool this morning on the sub-
eet of education. Rev. Shine em
phasized the three-fold value of
education along the lines of the men
tal, physical and moral sides of the
completely developed Individual, call
ing especial attention to the develop
ment of the physical being by the
proper use of the gyymnaslum, and
of the Intellectual In application to
the tasks assigned in the school
room. The speaker told the students
of the three faculties of the mind
which should receive special atten
tion, namely, memory, reason and
understanding, emphasizing the
thought that the school work In gen
eral Is a system of discipline, which
In the end fits the student for the
propositions which he Is to face In
life when the school days are over.
The real educational part of the
student's life begins on commence
ment day.
The students were advised to lit
themselves for Independent thought,
and not to go In herds or be lead by
the demagogue and promoter of new
fads In government affairs, as well as
In other lines. The address was a
very eloquent one and occupied
forty-five minutes, and when Father
Shine closed his remarks he was en
thusiastically applauded by the
students.
On next Thursday morning Rev.
L. W. Gade will address the students.
