KILLED IN WOODS.

Alfred Williams, whose home is at
Mill Greek, was accidently shot and
killed by E. L. Fisher, of the town of
Bergen, while hunting about three
miles west of Dancy, Saturday after
noon. The deceased, in company with
his brother, Louis, of Mill Greek, and
E. l.. Fisher and Ed Zeeman, of Dancy,
were out hunting when a deer ran by.
1t was supposed they all shot at once,
but it ssems Mr.. Fishers gun did not
discharge owing to the hammer catch
ing in some way, and while he was eX-
amining same Mr.. Williams ran in
front when the hammer of the gun
dropped down, and the bullet was dis
charged into his back, the course being
to the left, supposedly striking the
heart, as death was instantaneous
The dead man was taken at once to the
village where an inquest was held, DR.
E. G.. Fish, of Mosinee, conducting the
same. The verdict rendered was to the
effect that deceased came to his death
by the accidental discharge of gun in
the hands of E. L. Fisher. After the
inquest the remains were removed to
the family home at Mill Greek.
Game wardens, Z. l.. Tracy and j
Ekstrom also had narrow escape
They were hunting deer in the same
vicinity and succeeded in wounding
one, which they followed for about
eighty rods, when tney heard the above
party begin shooting They We're in
direct range of the bullets and yelled tc
the hunters to cease firing. The hunt
ers did not hear them but kept or
shooting. The game wardens soon go
out of that immediate vicinity and wher
they found the hunters, the latter were
bent in sorrow over the body OF Will
Jams
The deceased was about % years ole
and leaves a wife and three children
An accident of this kind is a sad affair
sad for the family who loses husband
and father, and sad for MIR. Fisher
who, while being perfectly innocent, il
nearly Frustrated from sorrow.

BOARD ENTERTAINED.

Acting upon invitation of Co. Supt.
John Lamont, the county board visited
the county school of agriculture Thurs
day morning at eleven o'clock and
after being piloted through the build
ings and witnessing the work in the
different departments the members were
given dinner that suited their fancy,
followed later by u season of speech
making. The dinner was served by
Miss Conley's class in the domestic
science department, and the articles of
diet placed on the table were Of the
class cooking. The menu consisted of
Irish stew, biscuits, potatoes, cabbage
salad, cheese, pickles, apple pie and
coffee, the tables being decorated with
carnations, and the dinner was heartily
relished by the board members. After
che wants of the inner man had been
supplied Prof Johns passed around a
box of cigars and then followed short
speeches, the time being thus taken up
Until 2;l5 p. m.
Senator Kreutzer spoke of the organi-
cation and establishment of the two
schools, taking up the Training school
first, and how the work of each was
started. In a general way he ex-
planned the plan and purpose of the
Agricultural school. He stated the
importantance of agricultural develop
acknowledgements must necessarily
follow along this line for the lumber
industry is on the wane. He drew a
comparison of the farmer boy who
lacks in agricultural education-who is
without incentive or ambition-and the
boy of trained mind, working for a
| higher plane, the latter being the one
to be looked up to for future success,
and asked of those present, (Which of
these two classes do you wish your boy
to be-" He also made a comparison
of the homes of two classes of farmers
as he had found them-of the farmer
who goes about his business in hap
hazard or machinc-like way and the
one who has improved his knowledge
of agriculture and does things in a
scientific manner Miss Bohrer and
Mr. Wells of the Training school gave
short talks on their school and Miss
Conley explained the value of her de-
partment of domestic science-tO
which they could attest.
| John Lamont, Chairman Chas.
Rienow, Supervisors g. V. Alderman,
A. E. Beebee, Henry Amelung, G. A.
Gardner, Geo. Farington, c. S. Gilbert,
John Ringle, Paul Gerhard and Fer
dinand Sellin also spoke of the schools
advantages.
The visitation of the county board
will perhaps result in great helpfulness
to the schools interests, many of the
members pledging their support AS
half of the board are new members who
have never before visited the institu-
ton, an insight into its workings
brought out by visit to the laboratory,
manual training and domestic science
departments, blacksmith shop and
| green house will be helpful to better
understanding of its worth and these
members will go home and explain the
same to their neighbors. Prof. X. b
Johns informs us that the interest in
school work by the classes is far better
this term than last, and from other
sources we learn that the faculty can
not be surpassed BY any like school in
the country.

COMING BACK TO WAUSAU.

At the reception last evening, given
in honor of Rev. Hirst, it was reported
that W. H. Mylrea had disposed of his
lumber ard timber interests up in
Michigan and that he and his family
were again to become residents of Wau-
sau, over which good news there was
great rejoicing. An investigation
proves that Mr.. Mylrea has disposed of
his lumber interests in Michigan and
we conclude that the balance of the re
port is true.

The fatality list among hunters of
Northern Wisconsin and Michigan has
been very light this year, compared
with other years, for some reason. In
the latter state the new law making IL a
penalty for the one guilty of an acci-
dental shooting has, perhaps, caused
hunters to use more discretion. An old
hunter, who has studied this matter,
has advanced this theory of the cause
of large percentage of these shootings;
He has noted that in a majority of cases
the men shot in past years were resi-
dents of other states, and that invari-
ably they were shot in the back by one
of their own party If one man carries
a grudge against another, he argues,
nothing would be easier than for him
to entice his foe into the wilds of these
two states for deer hunt, under the
guise of friendship, and then sacci-
dentally" shoot him.

MINNEAPOLIS GLASS WORKERS
~23 OUT FOR SHORTER HOURS

MINNEAPOLIS, July 24.-(Special
to The Labor. World.)-Two hundred
glass workers struck last Monday
morning for a nine-hour day. Some
time ago it became known to the en-
ployers that the art glass scale would
soon be submitted to them for their
signatures: That scale called for a
nine hour day. Thinking that by for
stalling the union the employers could
prevent the presentation Of the art
glass scale, they began to work their
men only mine. hours a day: But the
employees We're just as foxy as the en-
ployers. They saw through the game,
and, continued their PREPARATIONS to
present their new scale. Finding that
their move had had no effect the Pitts
burg Plate Glass company at: once put
back their men. to- ten hours. This
brought matters to@a head. The glass
workers. presented the art glass scale.
Under the influence OF the Pittsbure
Plate Glass company, Forman, Ford &
CO., and Ford Bros, the employers gen.
orally refused TO sign the scale and the
strike was declared. This is the quiet
season and the employers are taking a
very high and nightly stand. p They
claim that they can get along without

NON-UNION MEN
May Strike on the Pittsburg Street Car
Lines.

Lines.
SCRANTON, Pa, July 22.-Manager
Silliman of the Traction Company is
between two fires-the demands Of his
union and the demands of his non-
union employees. In his efforts to carry
non union employees on one shoulder
and the union men on the other, there
is no way for him to turn without hav-
ing trouble. While union men have
manned the suburban lines out Of
Scranton, non union men have been
employed in the city. The union men
want the non union men to be divided
half and half between city and subur-
ban lines. They threaten to strike un-
less this is done. On the other hand
if they are forced to go on the subur-
ban runs. The union men say that the
company should not play favorites and
the men should all be treated alike
The milk in the cocoanut so far as the
nom union men are concerned, is that
they fear violence If they leave the
city. The miners in the city are ma
turall prejudiced against them.
The old Pancoast. pumpnouse, that
figured so conspicuously in the miners
strike, various brawls between the SOL
diers and the non-union men having
occurred in it's vicinity, gave up its ex-
istence with the patriotic celebration
of the Fourth. Black, dirty ashes now
mark the spot where it stood.

and has done his work well. He will
be employed by the Joint Shoe Coun-
Gil of .Haverhill, on the same lines.
Some people often ask, what good
is there in unionism?" Just look at
this for one example out Of hundreds
that could be cited: The Lasters' Un-
ion, since Jan. 1, 1908, has given $27o
to families Of brother lasters, who, on
account Of no work or illness, have
felt the need Of assistance over rough
places. Within a year over 500 has
been donated in small sums by the
union to help their brothers.
Union men and women, just stop and
think. Can you, as members of organ
lied labor in this city, where at every
meeting Of the different unions the Ia
bells of all crafts are talked on, allow
such a @def to organized labor as ap-
pears in one Of the leading stores on
Center street? It is time that the la
bel committee OF the Joint Shoe Coun-
Gil looked into the matter Of nom
union shoes that are being sold here.

there are times when contractors are

them at time when it means a serious

Commission Of Georgia, Gov Terrell
presiding, listened to charges made
against the Broach Brothers, wealthy
planters of Oglethorp County, that they
have kept dozens. OF. convicts in vervi-
tude for months after their term ex-

Deveraux Burden, a negro, testified
that he had been sent to the Breach
camp from Gainesville, Haberham
County. His term expired on March Is,
and he was not discharged until three
months later being whipped repeatedly
because he protested against his de-
tention. Burden. said that Ben Moon,
a prisoner, had been repeatedly whipped
for not working right and that he died
after one of these whippings.
Burden said he was tied down and
strapped with a leather strap. p. The ne
groe showed scars on his back which
he said were made: by. the whippings.
