An Engineer Who Was Partly Electro.
cuted.
Engineer Ed Rafferty, suffered a
very severe accident at the electric
light plant at Madison. AS he pulled
the lever to start up the dynamo the
lights in the building flashed up, and
he saw that the connecting pest had
not been turned back into place when
left in the morning, and he instantly
caught the lever to pull it into place
with the other hand, and must have
forgotten to remove his hand from the
first lever, thus forming a current
through his body of the charge in the
machine. The current held him and
soon rendered him helpless and drew
him forward on his arms against the
switchboard, or machine, burning one
arm very badly on both sides, and his
hands, also. He soon became uncon.
scious and sank to the floor, which re-
leased him from the current. 1t was
some time before he recovered con-
seriousness and crawled to the door to
summon help, but saw no one, and
could not call. The fresh air revived
him somewhat, however, and he man
aged to reach the engine and blow the
whistle for help and shut of the plant.
Help soon arrived, and he was taken,
first to the hospital and then to His
home. He gradually recovered frsn
the shock.

Wants to Be Pardoned.

Michael Connolly, who was convict

and sentenced to the ~penitentiary for
ten years, for arson, is endeavoring to

on this charge Connolly had borne an

TO TEST
Test to Be Made Of Flour Made From
Macaronj Wheat,

Thorough tests of the merit of mac.
aroni wheat when ground into -four
will be made at Aberdeen in a few
days. Isaac Lincoln. who has col.
lected much correspondence on the
subject, has made arrangements with
the Minor mills in North Dakota to
ecu 500 pounds of -four in small
lots, which will be distributed to the
people OF Aberdeen and Brown coun-
ty for a thorough bread-making test.
The -four will arrive in a few days,
and then the interesting tests will be-
gin.
In writing of the flour, F. w. Vail,
secretary and manager of the Minor
mills, says: 1--WE have been expert
menting in the grinding of macaroni
wheat for two years, and since the
coming in of the crop of 1902, have
manufactured and shipped several car
loads Of flour. 1t has been used ex-
clusively by some farmers in this To-
cality. It means a wholesome bread,
slightly more creamy in color than
bread made from ordinary -four. 1t is
a quick-rising -four, requiring knead-
ing down an hour quicker from the
time the sponge is set than other
1ours. The bread retains it's moist
ure longer, and perhaps is q little
sweeter in taste than other breads"
Mr.. Lincoln figures, after having
consulted with many farmers who this
year raised macaroni wheat, that with
anything like an active demand for
flour made therefrom, the grain will
net at least 81 per acre more than or
binary varieties, eve at 4 cents per
bushel less for the wheat than the old
varieties bring.
The result of the experimental uses
Of the -four by people in Aberdeen will
be watched with much interest.
