ACCIDENT
Is Fatal i'm the Mill at Alderman,
Wis.
(From Saturdays Daily.)

About noon today a telephone
message reached Baraboo that
George Cooper had met with fatal
accident while working in the flour
ing mill owned by himself and Gus
tave Scharnke at Ableman.
1t appears that the feeder ir the
mill was not working satisfactorily
and Mr.. Cooper was repairing it..
While doing this Mr.. Scharnkes son
went on the outside of the mill to
shovel some snow and while so doing
he heard terrible noise in the
mill. When he rushed in, the mill
was full of dust and he closed down
the engine at once. He then looked
for Mr.. Cooper and a horrible view
was presented. It appears that the
unfortunate mans clothes had
caught ON the main shaft which was
whirling around at the rate of 235
revolutions per minute. All of his
garments had been torn away and
he was wound around the long
piece of iron. The ioists above had
been broken by his feet striking them
and an iron pulley on a grind stone
near by was also broken. His feet
were almost torn away. It was
the most unfortunate accident that
could occur.
! Deceased was born in England
about sixty-f1ve years ago and came
to Baraboo before the Civil war.
Previous to that conflict he was a
miller in the mill which was located
near the bridge at the foot of Oak
street. Some years a 90 he worked
in the mill near the water works
pumping station and something like
fours ago went to Ableman whe1 e
he became associated with Gustave
Scharnke in the mill at that place.
He was a member of the Masonic
lodge of this c ty and was known as
a highly respected citizen. Besides
a wife he leaves one daug hter, Miss
Mlyme Cooper.
The daughter was in Baraboo at
the time of the accident and went
home on the afternoon train. She
was accompanied by the brother
in-law of the deceased, w. Nehs.
An inquest was held this after
noon.

The telegraph-phones which have
been proving so successful will be
put in along the Northwestern line
says the Sterling Standard. They
can be connected with any kind of
telegraph wires and so adjusted
that they will work perfectly with
out interfering at all with the use
of the line for telegraphing. 1t was
at first rather hard to get the in
strument adjusted so that the bell
would not be ringing all the time,
but this was soon overcome by the

STANDARD TURNS
SCREW ON KANSAS
Latest Move, Producers Say, L
Effort to Crowd Them to
.. the Wall.

Chanute, Kan, March 9.-The order
of the Prairie Oil and Gas company
to run no more oil below 80 degrees will,
it is believed result disastrously to
those individuals and companies which,
figuring on a return Of full buying and
better operations, had resumed opera
tons. A large percentage of Kansas
oil runs below the specified standard.
E. G. Martin, One of the largest pro.
ducers in the field, said:
cit is another act of defiance. It is
another effort to crowd the Kansas pro.
Queer to the wall. 1t will bring indie.
pendent refners here and make a mar
ket for fuel oil.
w. E. Connolly, member of the ad
visory board Of the Kansas Oil Pro
ducers' association, said the order was
only another move by the Standard te
show it's contempt for the Kansas
operators.
John O'Brien, assistant manager Of
the Prairie company, said it was i'm
by the Kansas legislature. He declares
there is no connection between thu
Prairie company and the Standard Oh
company. The Prairie Oil and Gas com
pany, he said, would welcome the full

tions in the state.

JAPs STRIKE FROM NORTH
Deliver Blows on Russ North Front
Position Significant.

ST. Petersburg, March 9.-The gen
eral staff has received the following dis
patch from General Sakharoff, General
Is chief Of staff. dated to-
day:
Several fierce attacks ON our north
front were made during the night. They
were all repulsed. In other directions
the night was quiet
General Sakharoff IS reference to the
Russian Hnorth 'front.' would seem to
indicate that Japanese force is be-
tween Mukden and Tie pass. Tho the
Japanese may have cut the telegraph
lines along the railroad it is possible
that field telegraph lines have been run
between Fu-shun, where Kuropatkin
may have his headquarters and Tie
pass, thus accounting for the seeming
st. Petersburg regarding the severance
Of the Russian line Of communications.
A dispatch from General Kuropatkin
dated March 8, says:
On the right bank Of the Hun river the
enemy has assumed the offensive toward
Mukden from the northwest and the
| north.
The center and left flank Of our armies
have fallen back without fighting on tbs
! entrenched positions on the right bank Of
the Hun river.
Today the enemy attacked us on the
north front, driving small detachments Of
outposts from the village Of Pu-dia-sa,
about two miles northwest Of tho village
Of Tren-tsan. ...z-,
The attacks Of the enemy on one Of the
Russian positions in the north near Muk-
den have been repulsed with heavy Jap
| anese losses. -.
| On the west front the enemy attacked
our positions near the villages Of Niu-si-
tsan, but was driven back.
In the attack on our center we cap
tured large number Of prisoners.
