It is contrary to the policies of insurance companies to pay on deaths reported unless the body of the alleged decedent can be produced. The action taken in this-case speaks very highly of the Maccabees. The aim of this fraternal order seems to be “| to do justice to all beneficiaries with- out regard to technicalities.

Francis, \ the five-year-old son of Mr. and and Mrs. John Decker, was accidently killed by falling from the ~freight elevator in the Itasca Paper mill last Sunday evening about 6:30 o’eclock. Francis, accompanied by his brotber, aged seven, and Freddie Smith, about the same age, went into the mill unnoticed by any- one and began to enjoy themselves by riding in the freight elevator, which runs from the basement to the main floor. The father of the boy13 an employe at the mill and works iu the grinding room. His two chil- dren had often accompanied him -to the mill but had been forbidden to enter, asit is strictly against the rules of the mavagement to, allow children on the premises under any circumstances. It appears. howeyer, that these boys had been in the mill at former times as they understood how to, start the elevator, which works automatically. Being ,used only for freight it is not en Fosea. Just asthe boys had started up in the eleyator from the basement floor one of them saw the night watchman ‘approaching, and, knowing they, were. violating the rules, -told his com- panions. ‘The two older boys jumped off, but Francis remained, probably being affraid to venture the jump to the floor below. The elevator slowly moved upward to the floor above, while thejchild leaned over the edge. His head struck the floor as he stood in this position and he was thrown off. the platform of, the elevator, striking onhis head. The fall was about eighteen feet distance. He was picked up lifeless by the watch- man, and the bereaved father carried the lifeless form home. . The funeral was held this morning, interment being made in Itasca cemetery.

TAXPAYERS MUST SHOW ASSESSORS. Full List of Personal Property Necessary if $100 Exemption Is to Be Demanded, In order to secure the exemption of $100 on oer levied on personal property, as allowed. hy the law of this state, the taxpayer will have to prepare a verified list of all his be- longings, to which he is required to make a sworn statement as to its ac- curacy. This ruling was made by the tax commission of the state, and the at- tention of County Auditor M.A.Spang has been called to it by Frank L. Mc- Vey, the chairman. It will be en- forced to the letter, According to the opinion of Attorney General E. T’. Young, the county auditor cannot give the taxpayer credit for $100 un- less the property owner has made this list aud sworn to it. Another matter to which Mr. Mc- véy calls Mr. Spang’s attention is that the property owner must make a listing of all creditors, which the as- sessor can not offset by indebtedness unless the ,person assessed makesja verified list-of the debts. That is, should a person have some article, for which he is indebted, he must make ab accounting cf the indebtedness, or he will be taxed for its full value, The third’ matter relates’ tothe power of the auditor to refuse to issue certificates to assessors whose books do not comply with the law. Each assessor will be required to see that his books are perfectly correct before he receives compensation for his work. A Pointer to Business Men.

The talk made by F. S. Colvin was alone worth the time spent. He scored the , merchants because they do not go after business, and at first specfied that their lack of it is due in a large degree to their fail- ure to advertise. He also pointed out that they do not attempt to seize the mail order business which they could handle at a profit. Mr. Colvin was right. It is impossible to build up a good trade in even a small town without publicity as to prices. .That is the main point considered by pnr- chasers. We shall at. once make another round upof every business man in Biwabik and, see if he is not now ready togetin the game and get all the business that is their due.

This paper has mentioned the subject several times, but it appears to have been of little avail. In 19 cases out of 20, at least | the parents are at fault for the diso- bedience of their children. The little child that lost his life at the | paper mill last Sunday had been for- bidden many times by the parents to lenter the mill, but the same parents failed to impress obedience upon the boy. He lost his life; they lost their loved one. The wonder is that more little lives are not crushed out | through the failure of parents to do | their most important duty. Every | child in Grand Rapids could be made to feel the danger of playing about | the cars. by their parents, and when- ever a little child or half grown youth is seen amusing himself in the vicinity of this danger one may know that the child is nopglected by his parents. Children are entitled to sympathy; the parents to severest censure. Mrs. M.
