MAN is BURNED
BY A LIVE WIRE
n. G.. Carnes Undertakes tt
Grasp Broken Electric
Light Conduit.
is NOW IN A HOSPITAL
One Hand So Badly Injured That
Several Fingers Will Have to
Be Removed.

H. G.. Carnes, proprietor of the Atlas
Third avenue, IS lying at st. Anthony s
hospital suffering with serious burns
as the result of his having caught hold
of a live electric light wire late last
night. Both his hands are badly burn
ed, the right one so seriously that sew
eraI fingers and possible the whole
member will have to be amputated.
Both feet are also considerably burned.
Mr. Carnes closed up his place of bust
ness about midnight and started for
his home at 522 Twentieth street. With
him was a young man who had been
at the cigar store until it closed. AS
they reached Fifth avenue they heard
some screams from some woman ana
they answeredthecalal for help. 1t was
found that a wire had broken in the
rear of the house at 1924 Fifth avenue
and that the live ends were burning
a cellar door.
The two men secured a bucket of
water and extinguished the blaze and
then attempted to remove the wires.
The young man with Mr.. Carnes Sc
cured broom and was poking at the
wires when the older man declared
that the wires were insulated and
that there as no danger in touching
them and despite the warning from
his friends he leaned over and picked
up the wire
Rendered Unconscious.
After getting hold of the wire he
(Carnes) keeled over without word
and fell against the building, stir
grasping the wires and apparently un-
able to let go of them. A ]. D. Noel
Ter, the liveryman who was on the
scene at the time, tried to pull the
wires away from Carnes by means OF
an umbrella, but he was severely
shocked and he gave it up and hurried
away to get DIR. z. NJ. Sala, when the
latter arrived, Carnes was uncon
scious. though he no longer held the
wires. as he had broken loose from
Them in his writings. He was taken
to the hospital at once in the police
buggy and medical attention was given
him. This morning he had regained
consciousness but he is still in pre-
carious condition.
An electrician who fixed the wires
today stated that he could not be sure
whether the injured man had received
a current of 2200 volts through his
body or whether it was one of 5000, but
at any rate it was one or the other
according to the load the wire was
carrying at the time.

LAD AND LASS.

The storys old as paradise;
A lad more loving far than wise,
A lass too wise for love at all
Though she was fair, and he was tall
A midday walk where peoples grow /;
A twilight ride-a moonlight row
She rather liked to hear him talk,
Though he was such "a silly gawk."
And then-a chap some 40 stout,
Who owned some bonds and also govt,
But knew too much to moon and stare,
Walked straight away with Lady Fair.
And what's the end? AS if know!
Except that popies still will grow;
That life is strangely gay or sad
For every lass and every lad!

Bic Poultry Show

zig poultry SHC"'
Poultry breeders throughout the
central and western states are ex-
pressing much interest in the state
show to be held by the Wisconsin
Poultry association at the College OF
Agriculture Of the University OF Wis
consin, January % TO Is. Inquiries
show that leading poultrymen from
adjoining states will attend the show.
The mid-western branch Of the
American Poultry association, which
includes poultrymen from illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Michigan and Wiscon-
sin, at a recent meeting in Chicago
appropriated 5000 which will be
awarded for special prizes to the
poultry show at Madison during the
season Of 1901. While these prizes
will not be available for the show in
January, 1910, the action constitutes
recognition which is a source of con
siderable qualification on the part Of
the local management.
The prize list includes classes for
all varieties of chickens, turkeys,
ducks and geese The judging will be
done by the score card system, and
substantial cash premiums will be Of
fered in all classes. The premium
list will soon be distributed by l.. K.
Rowley of Madison, secretary OF the
Wisconsin Poultry association.
Construction of buildings for the
poultry department at the College OF
Agriculture is proceeding as rapidly
as weather conditions will permit.
Twelve brooder houses have been
completed, and the incubator and Of,
fee building. and breeding pens are
now in process Of erection. 1t is
hoped that the buildings will be In
condition to receive some of the fowls
which will be brought in at the time
Of the poultry show.
Courses in poultry husbandry of
fered this fall have met with a hearty
response by students. The course in
poultry management was elected by
G7 students of the long and middle
courses in agriculture, while l72 stu
dents in the short course are studying
the subject.

Most of the birds and mammals have
the fear of man in their hearts, and
are difficult to approach, but others
show no great concern. The Alaskan
jays, for instance, are devoted camp

cooked oatmeal seemed to attract
them even more than raw meat They
many times hoped about the campfire,
