THROWN OFF ROOF,

Otto Hunger and Fred Arendsee, two
carpenters living in the city, know how
1t feels TO be close to bolt of lightning
in an electrical storm. Last Friday
they were engaged in shingling new
house at 618 Adams street when the
storm came up. Both were seated
straddle of the ridge pole when flash
of lightning came which Knocked both
insensible. Arendsee remained on the
roof in the same position he was in
previous to the flash, until he recovered
his senses, sufficient to make the descent
from the roof Hunger was thrown
off the building He rolled down the
roof and fell on the ground below, a
distance of about fifteen feet, where he
was found later in an unconscious con-
dition and picked up and taken to his
home at 703 S. Third Ave. A physician
was summoned, but the man was soon
revived. The physician found a few
injuries, perhaps sustained in falling
off the roof. The injuries are not
serious end the man will soon be able
to resume his labor.
1t seems strange that no bones we're
broken and had he received slightly
stronger shock of electricity he un-
doubtedly would have been killed

RESULTS or FIRE.

The fire of June II, which destroyed
the factory of the Wausau Box and
Lumber Co., also started blaze north
of the city nearly mile distant. The
wind was blowing fiercely that day and
sparks were carried northeastward to
a point north of Jim Moore creek set
ting fire TO the dry twigs, leaves, and
other debris on the ground. 1t burned
along the bank of the creek for some
distance, destroying trees and threat
ened nearby farm improvements.
There was thick vegetation along the
creek which somewhat retarded the
progress of the fire and luckily heavy
rain shower came to dampen the
ground, or residents in that section
might have experienced considerable
difficulty in subduing the fire. H. q.
Head was out about ten miles east of
the city day or so later snd he reports
thai the ground in the locality he was
in was covered with cinders, which he
trace to the box factory fire. The
farmers of that section had no news OF
the fire up to that time and were much
mystifed at the presence of the cinders,
until Mr.. Head explained matters,
Being light they were borne on the
high wind for miles

tette, led by Edwin Howard, sang one
in English. Both were very pleasing
selections
The exercises proper opened with
scripture reading by Rev. L. B. t.
Fisher and a prayer by Rev. S. n. Will.
son. Following them, addresses were
made by Rev. F. Werhahn and s. N.

present secretary and he called upon
MIR. Campbellto speak. Mr.. Campbell
referred to the origin of the association
and its tenets Then followed the ad-
dress of Mr.. Rosenberg. The speaker

tributors to old and new buildings,

DAM INJURED.

The plant of the Wausau Paper Mills
Co. at Brokaw has been closed down
since last Tuesday. That day the dam
was so badly injured that it has been
impractical to operate the mill since.
A number of the gates we're forced out
of position, owing to the piers moving,
and in at least one pier the stone filing
has been carried away. This was not
due to high water. but the work of
undermining has been going on for
some time. Mill superintendent, Boyce,
with crew OF men is at work making
repairs, but it will be some time before
the dam is restored to its former con-
dition. Piling and other material is
being hauled from this city to make the
repairs. When the dam was built some
years ago it was thought it would last
for a decade, with few-minor repairs
occasionally. but the contractor was
mistaken The character of the bed of
the river makes it hard to build dam
that will hold and very high head of
water is carried at all seasons.

NEW INDUSTRY.


Fred Dahlke, who lives just north OF
the city in the town of Texas, has com
menced the growing of silk worms as
an experiment, to find out whether or
not they will lthrive in Marathon county.
He raised silk worms in Winnebago
county before coming here and thinks
that from his experience there they
will thrive in this county, but is doubt
full about the same conditions applying
to the trees they feed on.
About two years ago he secured from
the department of agriculture, Wash
ington, D. CO. few mulberry trees
which he set out. Last year he secured
few more, but results this spring
showed that the bushes bore some
effects from long and rigorous winter
Last winter he got from the same
source a number of silk worm eggs.
These he kept in the cellar until lately,
after the mulberry trees had leafed out,
when he brought some of the eggs out
into warmer atmosphere to hatch out
They are little white globules, aboat
half as large as kernel of wheat
They are Matched out by simply placing
them where the air is fairly warm and
in shady place. They win not stand
sunlight. Mr.. Dahlke still has quaint
ity of the eggs in the cellar, and will
wait and see how his stock of mulberry
leaves hold out, before Matching any
more
The worms at present are about a
quarter OF an inch in length and of
dark color. They grow to be nearly
two iuches long and turn white The
silk cocoon is spun around the worms
body and when il Is completed the
worm lays its eggs and then dies
When the cocoons are gathered, the
eggs must be carefully collected with
out doing them any injury and then
placed away in cool place for the next
season.
The government, in attempting to
foster the silk industry in this country,
furnishes the eggs and mulberry trees
free of cost to the applicant, and pays
him good price for his raw silk. Four
pounds or less can be shipped free.
Mr.. Dahlke states that there are
quite a number of people in this coun-
try at present engaged in producing
silk, especially in the freak state of
Kansas. where the climatic conditions
appear to be very favorable. There is
considerable trouble and work in car
ing for the worms. Ifthey are placed
out on the mulberry bushes without
any protection the birds will deVour
them, SO he has found it necessary*so
far to keep them in the house aud feed
them by picking leaves off the trees.
He may put them on the bushes later
and pnta mosquito screen around them
The life of the worm is only about six
weeks, so that where the season is long
and there is plentiful supply of null
berry leaves, two crews of worms
can be put to WORK in one season
