She at first thought it was a night
mare, but soon saw that her husband
was seriously i'll. DR.. Fox was i'm
mediately summoned.
The patient is resting quietly, 20
said DR.. Fox this afternoon. TT IS
true that Senator Villas has suffered
! a hemorrhage of the brain, but ! can
not say much about it now"
Illness is Serious.
/ To what extent the hemorrnage has
termined at present. In some of these
cases, physicians report, recovery Is
rapid, but in others, if the bleeding is
not stopped, it results in death. TIE
family has not called any other physl-
clans as yet.
Two favorable circumstances were
noted last night in the condition of
Colonel William F. Villas, which gave
the anxious family hope that the pa
tient would be able to overcome the
critical illness which holds him I'M
conscious.
The paralysis of the right side did
not spread, which would be the de-
velopment were the cerebral hemor-
rhage continuing and growing worse.
The nurse discovered that the pa
tient exhibited life in the fingers of
the right hand, an indication that the
paralysis might be somewhat de-
creasing in extent and severity.
Favorable Previous Circumstances.
Almost every circumstance previous
to the attack is in favor of Colonel
Villas. He is a man of good health,
possessed of more than ordinary
physical strength for a man of his
years, and has a wonderful store of
vitality. He has been a moderate
liver and Of temperate and health
preserving habits, more so by far than
might be expected of one of his many
years of public life and political &C
tivity, together with the fact that he
has had the means with which to sup
ply all Injuries. Although he has
surrounded himself with Injuries,
these have gone to the comforts of
life and those things which satisfy the
alert, active mind and constitutionally
Woodworking brain. These things are
strongly in favor of his recovery, and
the sole element of the situation
which might be looked upon as ex-
ceedingly disturbing is found in his
advanced age, 68 years.
Previous to suffering this attack,
Colonel Villas had been in good health
and excellent spirits. He had for
months been a very busy man, deVot-
ing himself with unlimited zeal TO the
work of the capitol building commits
sion of which he is the leading and
most active member. He was also en-
gagged on the commission to select
and establish the Wisconsin monu-
ment on the site of the siege around
cksburg, and attended personally to
his large private interests.

RosEsUG WORKS ON CORN.
Menomonie Farmers Annoyed by a
Freak in Entomology

Menomonie Farmers Annoyed by
Freak in Entomology.
Madison, July 20.
At NenOmOnie a new enemy Of corn
has been discovered. 1t has been at
work for some time and specimens
were sent the horticultural depart
ment here for classification. Profess
sor J. G. Moore after investigation
and examination reported:
Madison, Wis, July 10, 1908.
Mr.. L. S. Cheney,
Menomonie, Wis.
Dear Sir:-Your letter to Dean Rus
sci was referred to writer. The speci-
mems which you sent under separate
cover are the ordinary rose chafer.
This is the first time l ever heard of
them working on corn, but they do
great deal Of damage to roses. The
insect is a beetle, the scientific name
Of which is Macrodactylus subspino-
sus. This insect is rather difficult to
combat owing to the fact that it ap-
pears in such numbers. and the adult
well that the whole plant may be
stripped before the poison Will kill
them. The only remedy then seems to
be the application of a repellent In
the case which you mention, probably
the best method would be to apply air
slaked lime to the plants so as 10 COW
er the foliage. This should 6e done
in the morning when the dew is On so
that the lime will stick TO the foliage.
In this way the ravages of the insect
can be quite largely controlled. Hand
picking is the only other effective
method. Very respectfully,
j. G. Moore,
Asst Horticulturist.
The operation Of the rose bug on
corn or other crops is something en-
tirely new and is probably freak of
Dunn county. Anyway it is not
known that the bug has ever depart
ed from its customary field of depre-
dation and there need be no fear that
It will generally do so.

CAUSING MUCH DOMESTIC
UNHAPPINESS

Buffalo, July 19.-Mrs. Isabelle

poison Saturday and then strangled
each with handkerchief to make her
work sure. Then she sent to a store
for more poison, which she took her
self The three children were dead
when their mother was discovered,
and Mrs. Sahlem was dying.
In statement which Mrs. Sahlem
made to the authorities, the woman
blamed her sister-in-law, who she said
caused her much domestic unhappi-
ness. Just after o'clock Mrs.
Sahlem ran to her doorway and
screamed to her next door neighbor,
Mrs. Brown, that she had poisoned
her three children and herself. Mrs.
Brown rushed into the Sahlem yard
and Mrs. Sahlem met her with a
breadknife. The frantic mother
made thrust at Mrs. Brown, who
retreated and called for help.
When the police arrived, Frank, the
15-months'-old baby, was dead in his
go-cart in the dining room with a
handkerchief stuffed into his throat.
Elizabeth, three years, was evident
ly killed first, and Mrs. Sahlem took
the ftve-year-oid boy, Charles, out of
bed from the dead body of his sister
and placed him on the floor. Then
she lay beside the lad, fed him the
poison and strangled him in his
agony.
The crazed woman had no more
poison left, so she hailed a neighbour
boy, Willie Brown, and sent him for
more. When the boy returned she
took the poison and called to her
neighbor.
