The last issue Of the Scientific
american contains brief article on
the effect of electric wires on maple
shade trees, which perhaps, would
prove profitable to owners of trees
along the streets here, where the
deadly wires are liable to come in
contract with them. A French cleo
trician briefly describes the results
which follow when the wires are al
lowed to touch the limbs and branch
es of a tree. Aftera comparatively
short time the tree begins to wither
and die in sections. The electricity is
sure death to it if allowed to continue
sending it's deadly currents through
it. Especially after wet season or
a couple of days stormy weather is
the effect upon the trees more notice
able, on account of the dampness of
the branches drawing the electric
current more than at other times
A wire may be insulated, but the
covering will soon wear off by cons
tant friction at the place where it
comes in contact with the limb.

an intestinal operation was necessary, in
order that his life might be spared if at

The common council Is III hot water
and its members are being made the re-
cipients of many gentle roasts. The con-
tract for street Sprinkling expired on
June 20. The board of public works in
anticipation of this expiration adver-
tised and received bids for sprinkling con-
tract of five years duration. An irregu-
larity was discovered in the bond of the
lowest bidder, and when the matter
reached the common council that body
ordered the board to readyertiSe for bids.
Before the latter procedure was even
started, the old contract expired, and the
familiar Sprlnkllng cart failed to put in
in appearance. Result-plenty of dust
and angry merchants. A special meeting
of the common council was called to con-
slider way out of the difficulty, but none
was found. Aid. WilSe introduced res
olution, at the special meeting, to recon-
slider the proceedings of the regular meet
ing in regard to street sprinlIling and to
let the contract to the lowest bidder I'M

ing on the city charter, showed up rule
seven, which provided that no matter of
the kind under discussion could be recon-
sdered unless the same number of alder
men were present as were present and
voted at the meeting when the original
proceedings took place A call of the
house resulted but not enough aldermen
could be found. A. Nomenson, the gem
tleman who has done the sprinkling for
Il number of years, refused to make a
temporary contract and the aldermen
could find no fund out of which they
could legally pay for street sprinkling.
rs Il special assessment is made against
property for the same. The council was
compelled to adjourn without taking ac-
ton. 1t will be nearly two weeks before
a new contract can be let, and unless

PIERCED HIS BRAIN.
Shocking Mishap to a Party of
Young Hunters on an Island
Near Princeton

Princeton, Wis, June 27.-[Speciall-
A horrible accident, in which one boy
lost his life and another was badly hurt,
occurred here yesterday afternoon.
Three little boys, two the sons of Viii
lage Marshal Charles Ellinger and one
the son of DR.. II. L. Straight, went up
the river in a boat, taking with them a
an island short distance above and in
sight of town and pushed on into the
grove. A short time afterward people
were startled by a loud report, followed
by screams and cries for help. On
reaching the spot they found one of the
Elllnger boys lying on the ground with
g large hole in his forehead through
which his brains were Oozing. The
Straight boys eyes and face were filled
with powder and one hand was badly
lacerated
In loading the gun the boys had select
ed shell which did not go in easily and
so they were driving it in with a jack
knife. The cartridge exploded and the
shell was driven back into the boys
brain. The Strai ght boy was found hold
ing his companions head and sopping up
the blood from the wound with his cap,
though his own eyes were injured so
badly he could hardly see
DR.. Straight took his son to Milwaukee
on the afternoon train to have the pow
der extracted from the lads eyes. The
Elllnger boy was taken home on
stretcher and the shell extracted from
his brain. A piece of the knifeblade was
also found imbedded in his face. He
was unconscious all the afternoon and
died about s o'clock in the evening

NO LEGAL EXISTENCE.
A Supreme Court Decision Which
Affects Scores of VIII
lagos.

Madison, Wis, June 25.-The Supreme
court has handed down q decision in the
matter of the appeal from Judge John
sons order incorporating the village of
North Milwaukee, The order of the
lower court was reversed, and the case
comes back with directions to dismiss
proceedings. In multiplying the incOrpora-
ton proceedings the court has ruled that
the law under which villages have been
ordered incorporated by circuit courts
for the last forty years is not cOnStltu-
tjonal. The law providing for village in
corporation at the hands of circuit
judges was enacted in 1858 and had
never yet been met with any other rul-
ing.
The appeal was taken by taxpayers
who claimed the order void, because in
making such an order the circuit court
performed a legislative function. The
Supreme court holds with The taxpayers,
reversing the order of the circuit court
and remanding the cause with directions
that the incorporation proceedings be dis
missed Justice Il. ID. Marshall diSsents
from the decision.
The opinion in the case was written
by, Justice j. B. Winslow, the court
holding: % That the creation of
municipal corporations is the exercise of
legislative powers; GU that legislative
power cannot be delegated, save as au-
thorized by the constitution ITSELF CD
that the circuit court under the cOnStltu-
ton is purely a judicial court, and is not
authorized to receive or exercise legis-
lative powers of any kind; (4) that the
fact of determining either tentatively or
finally, whether it is for the best interest
of the people that they should be incor-
porated into Il village, and fixing the
boundaries, is not the determination of
mere fact, but is the exercise of legisla-
tive discretion. and if such power be
delegated at all it must be delegated to
the proper bodies named in the constitu-
ton.
All the villages of Wisconsin that have
come into existence since 1853. therefore.
have an existence in name only. 1t will
be necessary for them to be legalized by
an enabling act to be passed by the next
Legislature. This act will probably de-
clare legal the existence of all villages
formed under the present law, and will
legaliZe also the action of the officers of
the villages. The Legislature will then
proceed to devise some other way 10 or
