HAND INJURED.

f. E. Bradberg, head miller for the
Northern Milling company, met with
serious accident yesterday. The CON-
pany had been installing some new
machinery and Mr.. Bradberg was in
speeding same. He saw something on
one of the roller mills which was in
motion, and in attempting to brush it
off his foot slipped aud his left hand
was caught. He braced himself and as
quick as thought, pulled his hand from
the machine. The result was the crushing
of the second and third fingers, so badly
that the second had to be amputated at
the first joint The third finger may
be saved Had MIR. Bradberg not been
able to pull his hand from the
rollers in the instant he would have
lost his arm. Mr.. Bradberg is young
man, who recently came to Wau-
sau to take the position and his family
joined him last week and this city
will be their home.

WIRELESS TELEGRAPH.

A subject of considerable mystery
been solved. Last week two poles
spliced together, bearing window
screen, was erected on the roof of the
A. f. Stanke building, 400 S. Third Ave.
Since that time many people have won
dered what the strange device meant.
Some thought it some new tangled
arrangement to attract attention to the
meat market below. Others offered
various opinions. But the mystery has
been solved.
Mr.. Stanke's son Frank, boy fifteen
years of age, has been making a study
of electricity and the results to be OBJ
tanned from the mystic blue spark. He
is all wrapped up in the study. One of
his friends, Wells Turner, has wire
less telegraph outfit for sending mes
sages. The two recently got their
heads together and decided 10 arrange
a transmitting and a receiving station.
This they have done. The mast and
screen on the Stanke building on the
west side is the receiving station and
messages are transmitted from young
Turner'S home on the east side to his
friend, in the wireless code. Up to the
present, young Stanke has not attached
a transmitting apparatus, and can
therefore only take messages, which are
caught by the mast and screen and pass
out of telephone receiver. The boys
have experienced difficulty on account
of the strong current of electricity pas
sing through the street car company's
wires, which causes a buzzing sound in
the wireless apparatus. This they ex-
pect to overcome by making some
changes.
While both boys are very young they
have shown remarkable cleverness in
the arrangement and handling of their
apparatus aud should each continue to
pursue his studies in electricity, they
will some day become electrical
engineers of renown.
1t will be of interest to anyone to in
vestigate their methods of sending and
receiving messages

BASE BALL NOTES.

~ During the past week deal has been
closed with Jack Mccarthy, of Chicago,
to take the management of the Wausau
team for the first season in the Mime
sofa Wisconsin base ball league. Mr.
Mccarthy was secured after the local
management had looked. thoroughly
into his career as ball player and
manager and became satisfied that he
is all right. He has been member o.
the Chicago Cubs and Baltimore teams
in the National league, was one of
jimmy Callahan's famous Logan
Squares at one time, and last year man
aged the team and won the pennant for
Springfield in the Three league. He
has been, and is today, player of ex-
cellent ability and has shown class as
manager. With the assistance of Pres
ident Bryan he will pick up team in
readiness for the opening of the season.
President Bryan has been in communi-
cation with numerous players of well
known ability, many of them from the
Eastern league, who have offered their
services. Manager Mccarthy will go
down into the training camps of the
different minor leagues and pick up
players, and has line on good material
in his home city, Chicago. The people
trust that he will secure a classy team.
1t is reported that Duluth has signed
enough material for full team. Little
is known of Superior, but it is said
Manager Porter of that city has his net
spread. Winona, the baby of the new
league, is signing up good material, and
lastweek secured the contracts of Bal.
lies and Graves of last years La Crosse
team, who were purchased of Racine.
Lacrosse has got Tracy, the elongated
first baseman, back from St. Paul.
Superior has secured grounds in the
down town district. The distance to
the grounds hitherto has been detri-
ment to the success of the game in that
city. President of the league, John
Elliott, has received applications from
about eighty men who want jobs as
umpires. He will pick four and after
the first month carry the three who
look the most promising.

R. R. OFFICIALS HERE.

Four Representatives of the c. q n.
w. Ry. Co. were in the city yesterday
for the purpose of comforting with city
officials in regard to several bridges.
They looked over the Grand Ave.
bridge crossing the Northwestern cut
and decided 10 report in favor OF
widening that structure to the full
width OF the street The bridge is so
narrow that it is impossible for street
car and vehicle to cross at the same
time. The railroad representatives
also looked into the proposed plan Of
building a bridge on Canal street to
cross the company's tracks. They did
not say what their recommendations
would be in this matter, but it IS
thought that there will be no difficulty
in the city securing bridge. The
gentlemen visiting Wausau merely
looked over destination and made their
repor.s. Higher officials in Chicago
make the decision.

CHANGE OF MANAGEMENT.

Anton Dern, who has successfully
conducted the Northern hotel for
twenty years, has decided to retire from
business. He has arrived at the age of
seventy-s six years and feels that he must
spend his remaining years in the rest
that is the reward of fruitful life.
On July of the present year he will
turn the management of the hotel over
to his son-in-law Geo. Forcey and his
son Walter Dern. After that date they
will have entire supervision of the hotel
property and they contemplate making
a number of changes. Both have
grown up in the business, and ought,
therefore, to be successful f.om the
start.
The Northern hotel was erecved in
1884 by Mr.. bern. During its erection
he suffered mishap, and that he did
not lose bis life seems miraculous.
One day while on the staging of the
third story he made a misstep and
plunged to the bottom of the basement;
in the decent ladders broke his fall or
he would have been killed. AS it was,
he suffered the fracture of several
bones.
After the completion of the hotel it
was rented for year by A. L. Stewart.
Louis Schlecht then conducted it for
about two years. On May l, 1889, MIR.
Dern took charge and has conducted it
ever since.
Since its construction the accommoda-
tons of the hotel have been increased
by the building of an addition and
numerous improvements have been
made. Mrs. bern, who supervised tie
work of the kitchen, has been in poor
health for a number of years and, it is
thought, the rest which will come with
the change of management will great
ly benefit her.

LOOK AHEAD AFTER JAYS OF ADvERsrrY

With much plausability and truth the
GAINESVILLE Gazette suggests that now
that the tide of rising prosperity hc1
set in it becomes each one Of us to take
caution against presuming too much OH
the future. Especially is this the case
in assuming obligations based upon the
doubtful calculation that the rate of
improvement in our personal and bust
ness affairs, say for the next six months,
will be as great or possibly greater than
the half year just passed All such
calculations are failacious. Prosperity
may advance much more rapidly, or
even more slowly, but the safer way
is to base calculations on an irreducible
minimum rather than on an improbable
maximum arrived at by spread-eagle
optimism.
The dangerous man in these times is
the man who carries an insufficient lot
Of and in his balloon In his witch
dance Of citation at prospects he for
gets the rock from which he was hewn
by the hard knocks of depression and
adversely, and simply wants to iyinto
the upper air of prosperity, touching
here and there on the great peaks of
new high records as the only one thing
which he is willing to consider as the
point of departure for new progress.
OF all the people who spoil the game
of a normal recovery of business, these
extremists are the most anti-social
element in the general situation. They
run up bills with their merchants for
personal and household expenditures far
beyond what they have a right to-
They give orders away in advance of
what their own accounts would Justify,
They borrow at banks quite out of pro-
portion to what they are fairly entitled,
and they talk and act as if they were
demigods to whom it would be an in
suit to ask them to balance their assets
with their liabilities.
The type of man that keeps these
people from upsetting the boat on the
rising tide Of prosperity is the plodder.
This patient fellow does not forget the
panic when the prices rise and begin to
oour large profits into his Golfers. The
past is quite too near for HIM to drop
the curtain on it or to burn his bridges
and stake all upon the future. lie bal

HEED THE WARMING
Many Viroqua People Have Done
So

When the kidneys are sick they give
unmistakeable warnings that should not
be ignored. By examining the urine
and treating the kidneys upon the first
sign of disorder, many days of suffer
ing may be saved. Sick kidneys expel
dark, ill-smelling urine, full of ''brick-
dust sediment and painful passage
Sluggish kidneys cause dull pain in
the small of the back, headaches, dizzy
spells, tired, lanquid feelings and FREE
quently rheumatic twinges.
