USEFUL MUSICAL DEVICE
is VIOLINIST'S PATENT

Frederick Voelker, the noted viollnls'
who is playing at the Orpheum, mas
devised a. contrivance which is nothlng
more nor less than strip of hardwood
an inch in thickness and Of length
sufficient to accommodate the violin
string. and upon this he stretches his
strings to the tension which they Will
reach when in actual use. When he
needs them they are seasoned, so to
sneak. and instead of lasting couple
of days with constant use they keep
in good condition for from four to six
weeks.
Having found this contrivance saves
him much trouble he took it to several
manufacturers of musical instruments
in Philadelphia and New York and in
every case received the same reply.
mot for u.s. said the manufacturers.
"One of our biggest sources of profit is
in violin strings and this would make
terrible cut in our sale"
"Of course" says Mr.. Voelker, II
could easily get some disinterested per-
son to manufacture these simple things,
but what is the use? The retail dealers
would not handle them for the same
reason that the other people would not
make them. Any violinist is welcome
to the idea, however, and as the device
is so simple they can easily be made
by any skilled carpenter"

the verdict was read and was led oack

The crime for which Hercules was
tried occurred at the Redondo shops
December IL, 1903 At that time Her

ordered to carry coal for the furnaces.
He refused and was discharged. Two

CHINA DISINCLINED
TO SIGN NEW TREATY
NATIONAL PRIDE WOUNDED BY
EXCLUSION LAW
Washington Officials Think Arrange
ments Could Have Been Easily Eff
fected Year Ago for Exclusion Of
Coolies, but This Is Now Doubtful

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, July 27.--Some doubt
is expressed in official circles whether
it will be possible to obtain China's con-
sent to another treaty with the United
States that will provide even for the
exclusion of Chinese laborers from this
country. The state department is
aware Of i'll feeling throughout China
on the whole subject, and now that the
treaty with China has beer
allowed to elapse without the negotia-
ton OF the new agreement reports have
reached here that China is inclined
hereafter to refuse to sign any similar
convention.
China's position appears to be that
the exclusion of Chinese citizens from
a friendly country is in itself disgra ce
of foreign power providing for such
exclusion she can refuse to sanction il
or become part of it by concluding a
treaty involving such restrictions.
A year ago it is said it would have
been easy to conduct negotiations with
China for the exclusion of Chinese
laborers only. Now. however, it is
understood that Chinese officials are
disposed to regard the signing of such a
treaty as beneath the dignity of their
government The reason for the as
sumption at Peking of this new atti-
tude is not quite clear to the officials
here, though in some circles it is at
tributed to the influence of foreign
powers.

CRUSHED BY WAGON WHEEEo

Jos. Cuernot, boy residing in the
town of Weston, was fatally injured
last Wednesday while coming into the
city, the accident resulting on Grand
Ave. near the Ruder brewery. The
boy and his father, Aug. Cuernot, was
bringing to town beef steer, hauling
the animal in a wogon. At the point
mentioned, the steer raised his head and
knocked the boy off the seat. He fell
back of the horses heels and two
wheels passed over him, one over his
face and the other over his body. He
was carried into the office of the Ruder
Brewing Co. and the Riverside hospital
ambulance summoned. After being
taken to the hospital an examination of
his injuries resulted in the discovery
that several ribs had been broken and
one of his lungs badly injured. Little
hope was held out for the boy from the
first and though he remained conscious
for several hours after, it was quite
apparent that he was gradually sink
ing. Shortly after 900 o'clock that
evening he breathed his last.
The young man was little past
eighteen years of age and had resided
all his life with his parents, who live
near Kelly. One of the sad features of
the affair is that he was the only child
and had reached that age where he
could be of some help to his parents,
who are hard work. = people The
funeral was held Satr day m Jrning.

FRATRIClDE.

On farm about mile east OF knowl-
ton Stanislaus Swiatlowski, a young
man less than twenty years of age,
shot and killed his father, John
Swiatlowski, on Tuesday afternoon last.
The boy used Al calibre Winchester
rifle and the bullet struck the man in
the throat, but did not pass through
| the neck, owing to the victim being so
close to the gun when it was discharged.
Death resulted Immediately after the
| shot was fired.
The boys story of the shooting is as
follows: He was engaged that after
noon in carrying wood into the house,
his father being engaged at the time In
making repairs on window sash, for
which he used butcher knife. The
father asked the boy question, which
the young man did not deem of suffi-
cient Importance to answer. This en-
ragged the father and he started for the
boy, with the knife uplifted, and made
threat that he would carve his son
into slices. The son recognized his
danger and seized the rifle, which was
leaning against the wall. He did not
have time to raise it to his shoulder
and take aim, but fired point blank,
with results as above stated.
The authorities here were notified
and Sheriff Damon went down that
evening and placed the young man
under arrest.
Deceased is survived by his wife and
eleven children, two of whom reside in
Wausau. The wife and a number of
time of the shooting, but were in ad-
joining rooms.
Those who know the family say that
for several years deceased had been
hard drinker. He ceased to work and
depended on the earnings of his chill
dren for bar money. When intoxicate.!
he was abusive in his relations with his
family and no doubt the son, at the
time he took his fathers life, was smart
ing under the realization of his lot and
that of the rest of the family.
Three years ago, it is said, he shot at
his wife, who was running from him to
escape beating. At the time, she was
carrying baby in her arms and it was
lucky for both that the mans aim was
poor. On another occasion, it is further
said, he took a garden rake from his
wifes hands and struck her in the face,
breaking the cheek bone. OF late he
was more abusive than evers and was
undoubtedly afflicted with alcoholic
insanity.
The coroner, district attorney and
sheriff went to Knowlton, Wednesday,
for the purpose of investigating the
case. A coroner's jury was empaneled
and testimony of witnesses taken. The
evidence all clearly indicated that
young Swiatlowski had acted in self
defense and the jury returned verdict
in accordance with the facts, exhonor-
ating the boy from all blame, and he
was released.

AN EYE TO HIS HOME CITY.

ii. IL. Manson, Wausau's newly cleo
ted chairman of the Democratic state
central committee, who was at the
PlankintOn yesterday says that his un-
familiarity with political conditions in
the state will keep him from making
any plans for his campaign for some
time.
"Wausau is a good ways north, :"
said Mr.. Manson, "and we don't know
as much about politics as Milwaukee
men do. My plans will be commenced
this winter, but shall not do any crow
ing until next summer. Wausau is a
good town, however, and the only one
in the valley that did not experience a
slump in business this summer. We
have clear swing of the Wisconsin
river valley for forty miles and it is
steadily growing to be great distrib-
uting point. Business has doomed and
building has been kept up during the
past year.
"Wausau expects to have an inter
urban line from Merrill, connecting
that place with Wausau and Schofield,

big paper mill nearby. Additional

CAN SPY ON CLERKS.

| While the Wausau post office clerks
and letter carriers enjoy an enviablt
reputation for honesty, yet should
temptation ever enter their minds while
at work in the new federal building
they need but look about them and the
tendency toward wrong doing will
quickly vanish.
The citizens who visited the building
on Halloween night no doubt all
noticed set in the walls in every room,
iron Slated devices resembling heat
registers or ventilators, and it is quite
likely that many took them for such.
They are not designed for that purpose,
but for use of an inspector, who can
drop in at any time and spy on those at
work in the building. Spying lanes
wind around the walls of the entire
building, with observation holes placed
at intervals of space, so that detective
within can, unobserved, watch every
employe in the building, no matter
what room he or she may be in. These
spying tunnels are constructed of con-
crete and steel, are sound proof and
accessible only through private stair
way. The grating in the holes is so
arranged that it is impossible for an
employe to look into the lane, yet an
inspector within can plainly see all
that is going on in the room below him.
The lanes are carpeted with rubber so
that one can walk through them noise
lessly. An inspector can observe the
employees for weeks, without their
knowing it, if he wishes to hide his
identity and he generally does.
The new Chicago post office, only oc-
cupied two weeks ago, is said to be
equipped with labyrinth of spying
lanes, which total a mile in length
The designer one day got lost in the
maze of lanes and cross passages, and
after exhausting his supply of matches,
groped around in darkness for hours
before finding his way out.
1t behooves post office clerks, mail
carriers and every official connected
with the post office to be scrupulously
honest One of the reasons therefore is
that if they are not, they are sure to be
caught. Every employe of the post
office is under system of espionage
that is marvellous in its conception and
detail, and swift and unerring in its
detection.

MAY BE INSANE.

Jos. Kopcynski, the farmer who
burned his dwelling house and barns
in the town of Weston week ago Sun
day, is being held in the county Jail to
determine his sanity. From story
told us by one who lives in the neigh
borhood, it appears Kopcynski kept a
number of people in that vicinity in
hot water for time, by threatening to
burn their buildings. One of these,
Jos. Guseman, kept guard around
his house at night for several nights
until he knew Kopcynski was under
arrest. The neighbors claim that until
lately the man has been good neigh.
bor He had domestic troubles, but
these he kept to himself. He was a
good workman, and when not engaged
at farming piled the trade of stone
mason and his services were much
sought after. After being arrested he
freely admitted his guilt of burning the
buildings, the only excuse he had tc
offer was that they belonged to him
and he could do with them as he
pleased. In the fire, every building on
the place was consumed, besides his
household goods, farm machinery
crops, span of valuable horses, COWS
and other live stock. Everything on
the place, with the exception of few
chickens was destroyed, all the chattels
the man had in the world, and which
took years of toll to accumulate. The
loss will total about $1,000. 1t appears
that six weeks previous to the time OF
the fire Mrs. Kopcynski had instituted
divorce proceedings against her hus-
band, and he was ordered not to &C
near the place pending the disposition
of the case. 1t is quite likely thi:
angered him and was partially response
bic for working him up to the passion
he was in when he set fire to the build
ings. If the man is sane he will bt
prosecuted on a charge of arson. If ht
is insane he will be sent to Oshkosh.
