To Detect Water In MIX.

Here is q method said to be sure for
detecting water IN milk. An old.
fashioned steel knitting needle should
be dipped into the milk. IF. when it
is Withdrawn. drop of the milk clings
to the needle. the milk is pure. If.
on the other hand, the need!s comes
out clean and dropless, it reveals the
fact that water. perhaps very small
amount, but water TO some extent, has
been added.

nal for a charge by the militiamen There
are now 625 troops here, enough. 1t is be-
lieved, to queli any further trouble Pro-
miscuous threats are being made against
the police.
The mob fired Columbia Hall and the city
building through a ruse practiced on the
officers penned up in the building While

the building a detail reached the walls in
the rear and crawled under Columbia Hall.
A pile of paper was fgnited and In a mo-
ment the building was in flames
Meanwhile the mob had secured dyna-
mite. This was placed under the front of
the city building and exploded. 1t did little
damage, and another charge was tried.
This blew in the entire front and set fire
to the structure. The mob shouted wildly
as the building was destroyed. The fire
department was called to save the building,
but when the firemen arrived they were
ordered to not turn on the hose. Four fire.

into submission.

progress AS soon as they arrived a cor
don was established around the building.
At o'clock the streets in the vicinity were

wisconsiu Familv wiped Out.

BRILLIoN, Wis, June six persons
were killed by an explosion of dyna-
mite in the home of William Broehm at
Forest Junction, about eight miles from
Brillion yesterday. The dead are:
Mr.. AND MRS. WILLIAM BRoEHM.
THREE CHILDREN OF MIR. AND MRS.
BRoEHM, aged from 2 to Z years.
H. STEVENS, a brother of Mrs. Broehm.
The cause of the explosion is not
known. The supposition is that about
IL pounds of the deadly explosive was
put in a stove and became overheated
and exploded. No one was left to tell
how the accsdep ssoc ,arred, as every oc-
cupant of the house was killed. The
explosion occurred in the back part of
the house, where the family were sup
posedly eating breal fast. This part of
the dwelling was scattered all over the
ground many yards distant and the
main part of the house was badly
wrecked. So great was the force of the
explosion that parts of banister was
blown through three walls. The re-
mains of the unfortunate victims were
literally blown to pieces and beyond all
semblance of recognition. Broehm was
well driller and was well-to-do. An
inquest was held last night.
