A Wav To Kill Flies.
A. F. Brodie. a bOokkeeper K

A. F. Brod1e, a bOokkeeper fOr
the investors agency of kansas
City, Kan, has a novel fly kill
ing device, which he says, is sure
in it's results. He has not paten-
ted the device, for he admits it is
not original with him, but he
does not remember where he first
got the idea. 'It is so simple, "
he said, "that anyone can make
one. In the first place let nae ex-
plain the common error in the
belief that a fl y moves too quick
ly to be struck by a towel or
anything else. The apparent
quick movement of the insect is
caused by the impact of the wea-
pom itself which cause a strong
current of air to form ahead OF
the fowl or other fly brush used.
This current of air drives the fly
out of harms way without any
volition on it's part. Now, the
secret of my device is simply
this: II make a flap Of thin
leather cut balloon-shape and
about five inches in diameter.
This | perforate freely with small
holes about three-sixteenths of
an inch in diameter. These holes
allow the air to 60 through and
almost wholly do away with
that force of the current pushed
ahead of the flap when it is
swung. In a word, it does not
blow the fly away and it iskilled.
[ tack this flap to a stick about
Is or Is inches long and my fly
killer is complete. To kill the
flies | draw all the blinds in a
room except one. The flies in
variably flock to the one light
window and there fall victims
to my fly killer. l make the
leather flap very light, so that it
does not completely mash the fly
on the window pane. 2"

Hung Himself.

Aaron Hall, town charge
aged about rs years, and a resi-
dent of this village for the past
9 veal S, committed suicide Satur-
day afternoon, by hanging him
self to a stationary ladder lead
ing to the hay NOW in the barn
of John Roderick's on the north
side of the river. When last seen
live it was about 2 O'Clock in
the afternoon, and was discover
ed about half-pastseven by 'Elroy
BowLer and Alfred Patton hang
ing to the ladder back of the
door, the rope being tied loosely
around his neck, he standing
on the floor with his knees bent
forward leaning his whole weight
on the rope strangling himself to
death. Cornor King was Motif
ed and impanneled a jury, who
brought in a verdict that he came
to his death by his own hands.
It seems that the old man has
beer respondent for sometime
as this was his second attempt
on his life which he succeeded in
ending his days He was buried
Monday afternoon al the ex-
pense of the town.

as. ODefnOltZer ana AnQreW
Mimbeck, vita their families
have been camping for the past
week at the place known as the
old McDernit camp.
It was a low, contemplate
trick Of the parties that killed
Grandpa Kings dogwithout any
just cause or provocation, as the
dog was perfectly harmless, and a
great pet Of the old folks.
Remember that you want a
new suit Of clothes. Instead Of
buying out Of town, call on your
own tailor, 7. 3. Rogers who
will fit YOU out both as to style
and price. He carries as fine a
line of samples as to be found in
northern Wisconsin.
w. ]. Neu, OF Three Lakes.
came to town Wednesday morn
ing on the limited to have a
finger set which he broke the
night before. Dr.. Sanborn fixed
him TIP so that he will be able to
attend to his duties in a couple
of weeks.
Sunday the M. w. A. Lodge,
of Rhinelander, gave their annu-
al picnic at Trips resort at
Robbins. Some eight or ten rigs
went from here filled with mem
bers of the order and their wives
and sweethearts All speak in
praise in the manner which they
were treated by the lodge from
our neighboring town.
The Eagle Waters Camp, N.
w. A. excursion, to Eagle Lake
last Wednesday, was a success
socially, there being a goodly
numbe~~ in attendance. The mem
bers of this order are great en-
tertainers, as we can vouch for,
as they never do anything by
halves. The days amusements
wound up with a dance at the
opera house, where the old and
young tripped the light fantastic
until late hour.
I wonder how many Of Us
ever take into account the unex-
pected happenings Of our days.
For no matter how prosaic OF
ordinarv the danger may seem to
be, if one but stop to investigate
they will discover that there is
always something unexpected IN
each-a letter, a friend, a gift, a
journey, a success - something
that we did not look for. We
may get up and 60 about our
work feeling that we know just
what will happen all day; but
we do know but very little Of the
strange hours ahead Of US.
The entertainment given last
Tuesday evening by the Y. P. S.
c. E. Society, of the Congrega-
tional Church, at the Reading
Room on Wall ST., was well attend
ed. Each person paid according
to his height, three cents q foot
and one cent for each inch in ac-
cess. 1t was very amusing IN
some instances where a tall per
son would paymore than a short
one. Vocal and and instrument
tai music, was rendered by mem
bers Of the society. Light re
freshments were served. Those
that were present spent a most
enjoyable evening. The amount
taken in was about fifteen dol
lars.
