most of the wires that supply light to
the street lights carry 1000 volts.
Especially from the street light wires,
whether insulated or not, there is great
danger of being badly burned, or even
killed from handling them while a
current is being passed through.
There is ordinarily no opportunity
offered most people to come in contact
with these outside wires, yet such a
thing is possible, and this suggestion
may prove the means of saving your
self severe burn.
There is little danger from we'll
insulated inside wires, except in
changing lamps, but it is we'll to be
sure that the Insulation is sound on
any wire before handling 1t when
there is a current passing through it,.
The number of fires caused by two
inside wires coming in contact with
each other, is innumerabie. Such
cases are happening every day. Look
to it then that the wires do not cross
in your house, and that they do not
come in contact with any more
inflammable substance than Can be

start fire, they will also burn your
hands, so it will be we'll to bear this
in mind.

WHAT BROCKLEBANK SAID
ABOUT GENERAL PAPER co.

Milwaukee, Wis, May 3l.-Proceed-
ingS in the case of the Federal
government against the General
Paper Company of Wisconsin were
interrupted at the close of lasts week S
session, and the taking Of further
testimony was postponed until June
seventh. This action was taken in
order to promote the convenience Of
Attorney Kellogg, who represents the
government in this case. The
principal witness of last week were
George A. Whiting, vice president of
the company, and J. G. Brocklebank,
of the Manufacturers Paper Company.
Mr.. Brocklebank said that his
agency attempted to get the owners
CT western paper mills into the Manu-
facturers' Paper Company, New York,
for tine purpose of correcting abuses
and regulating prices. The nego
tiations we're unsuccessful. because at
meeting in Chicago about 1900, the
western owners demanded too much.
They wanted more than half the
stock of the Ma nufacturerS' Paper
Company. They threatened at the
time to organize competing agency.
A few months later they organized
the General Paper Company.
By threat of bringing eastern made
paper west for competition, Mr..
Brocklebank forced the General Paper
Company to permit him to buy paper
from some of it's western mills and
sell it to publishers with whom he
had contracts before the General
Paper Company was organized.
Very little information was secured
from Mr.. Whiting, other than the
fact that the General Paper Company
had been organized to correct abuses
in the trade.

PASSED. THROUGH A SEWER
Th0S. Moses Fad 4 Close Call
From Drowning. Near His
Home Last Monday Night.

The following item taken from the
Stevens Point Journal will be of
interest to our readers:
Thomas Moses met with a peculiar
accident. last Monday night, and had
close call from drowning. He was
going to his home on the north side,
and when at the corner of Franklin
and Meadow streets, the night being
very dark and stormy, he fell from the
walk down into the ditch, which was
filled with several feet of water and
flowing rapidly. A 24-inch sewer con-
meets the bitches from one side of the
street to the other at this corner, and
Moses was drawn into and through
this, distance OF about twenty feet.
A couple of neighbors, Geo. Hoff,
man and Sylvester Grebin, heard him
splashing in the water and calling for
help, and ran to his assistance.
Going to the opposite end Of the sewer
from which he entered, they stood
there a few moments in fear that he
would not come through, but soon
had the satisfaction of seeing part
Of his body prOtrude from the end.
Both men quickly grabbed Moses and
pulled him to the surface. He proved
to be none the worse for his experience
beyond thorough soaking, and after
shaking his head like muSkrat,
seemed surprised that his little escap-
ade had caused SO much excitement.
The Moses home is close by, and his
wife hearing the commotion, joined
the crowd which had congregated be-
fore Toms body reached the end of
the sewer and he was rescued.

JULIAN KING KILLED BY ELECTRICITY
CorOner's Jury Find that the Boys
Death was Due to Electric
Shock.

been summoned, and arrived at the
depot soon after the body OF the un-
fortunate boy was brought there.
Both pronounced King dead, and
agreed that death had. beyond all
probability, been instantaneous. A
closer examination of the body dis
closed the fact that the cerebral
vertebrae were dislOcated close to the
skull, and if death had not been
caused instantly by the electric shock,
it would have been brought about by
this injury. A still further examina-
tiOn revealed the fact that the hyoid
bone at the base Of the Stongue was
broken, and this. too might itself
have eventually caused death.
Parents Overcome.
The boys father, julius King, was
summoned at once from his work in
the foundry, where he is a moulder,
and he came to the depot in time to
be at the examination. Not until it
was over and that he was told again
and again that there was no hope for
the boy, and that death had been
Simultaneous, did he realize the loss
he had suffered. Dazed by grief, he
wandered about aimlessly for time,
and then had the body of his son
taken home. The boys mother was
down town at the time of the accident
and knew nothing about it till she
had nearly reached her home on her
return, when the news was broken to
her in as easy manner as possible.
She would not believe that her boy
was gone forever, till she viewed the
body, and then she was nearly over
come by the sense of her loss There
are left in the family, two boys and
two girls. The deceased was fourteen
years old, and was the third child in
the family,
The funeral of Julian King was
held Monday morning at 10 O'Clock
from the Catholic church, and Father
HugenrOth Ot1iciated, The remains
were inferred in Calvary cemetery.

ROE ESCAPED JAIL

Alfred Roe, the accOmplice of
Thomas Young, escaped from the
Jail at Stevens Point last week. Both
were incarcerated for the theft of an
abstract book for r. Fl. Butterfield,
as they alleged.
Two weeks ago steel hack saw was
taken from Young. The saw had un-
doubtedly been passed into the Jail by
friends. A saw of similar kind was
used by Roe in making his escape.
He cut through bar at the window
of the Jail and dropped to the ground
six feet below, and has not been seen
since by the authorities in search of
him.
Other prisoners in the Jail could
have escaped but refused to do so,
and when they found Roe gone, rap
ped on the door, and notified the wife
of the jail keeper of the escape of

RECEIVED THEIR
SENTENCES
Karatsky for Murder; Schriber
for Assault.

Judge Webb sentenced the two men
convicted of scrime AT this term OF
circuit court, Friday afternoon.
Abraham Karatsky was the first to be
brought up for sentence. He ap-
peared to know nothing Of the reason
for his being brought into the court
room, and when told by the interpreter
he said he wanted doctor, and then
broke down and cried. He had moth
ing to say before sentence was passed
upon him, and the sentence was read.
1t was that Karatsky should be
punished by life imprisonment, with
the tenth day of his Incarceration
and the 9th day OF March of each
year in solitary confinement. This is
the most severe punishment possible
for judge to inflict in the state of
Wisconsin, and it is commensurate
with the enormity of the crime he
committed.
Ernest Schriber was next brought

ments made in the jury room and not
included in the evidence and wrong

argument Of the District Attorney,
TheO. Brazeau, Without listening to
| argument by the district attorney,
Judge Webb denied the motion.
When asked if he had any statement
to make, Schriber said he intended no
harm to the victim of his assault, and
| that he had been sorry since that the
affair occurred. Because it was bis
first criminal offense, Judge Webb
made the sentence as light as possib BILE
and still be punishment. Schriber's
sentence was an Understandable one,
from one to ten years in the state
reformatory at Green Bay. depending
upon his behavior there. Sentence
began at noon, Friday.

BAND CONCERT
APPRECIATED
PittsviIle Organization Does
Good Work.

Good Work.
The PittSville band concert on
Sunday was highly appreciated by
the people of this city and surrounding
country and no doubt would have
been attended by large number of
farmers families had the weather
been less threatening. Toward noon
it looked very much like rain, but
none fell until evening, so the pro-
gram arranged by the Twentieth
Century band was rendered, as
advertised, between 2:30 and 4:3O and
all who heard the music were pleased
and many expressed the wish that it
might be repeated on other occasions.
The band deserves the high praise
given it and more than thanks are
due the members of the organization
for the entertainment provided

WARNING TO YOU
Danger From Electric Light

Wires.
At the inquest over the body of
Julian King Saturday morning, some
facts were brought out as regards the
danger of electric light wires than
anyone who uses electric lights may
we'll bear in mind. One Of the state
ments made by the manager of the
electric light plant here land coming
from a man of his experience, must
have some weigbt) was that it is a
matter of record that current of 100
volts caused the death of person.
Another thing said by him was that
current of high power is liable to
cause death or at least severe
burn, even through insulation.

of the users of electric lights in this
