FIFTEEN BUILDINGS BURNED
Fire Started In a Church Sunday at
Eagle Mills

Troy, May 8.-The village of Eagle
Mills In the town of Brunswick was
visited by fire yesterday which wip-
ed out the Church of Christ and thir-
teen other buildings including the old
hoe factory which had not been opera
ted in two years or more, causing a
total loss OF more than $4,000 upon
which there was insurance of less
than third. The flames originated
in the church which was located on
the top of the hill at the corner of
Maple avenue and the new state road
and within thirty minutes the shed ad-
joining 1t and three cottages only q
few feet apart, We're ruined.
There was a stiff west wind pre-
vailing at the time and sparks COM
municated with the hoe shop, which is
below in the valley at the intersection
OF the old and new turnpikes. 1t
spread from here along the west side
OF the Poestenkill creek, devastating
the McChesney residence, a paint and
blacksmith shop and two big sheds,
and then crossed the stream where
three barns and double tenement
were burned to the ground The dis
lance from the edifice which was con-
sumed to the brick plant is a little
short of an eighth of a mile and
the breeze was SO fierce that burning
embers were carried quarter of a
mile and another stable ignited.
The outbreak occurred at 12:45 o.
clock just after missionary service
had been held and was caused by an
explosion of gasoline apparatus
which had been started to heat water
in tank which was to have been
used last night at baptismal services.
Besides the fire loss the pastor, Rev.
II. II. Nessloge, had his hands terri
bly, burned and his hair singed trying
to smother the fire, and youth who
was working to stamp out a burning
spot on the roof Of barn on the east
side OF the creek, jumped to the
ground and in doing so sustained a
broken arm and was otherwise injur-
ed

Horse on Pleasant Street

Max, the five year old son Of Jacob
Seigal, was knocked down and mar
rowly escaped serious injury by be.
ing struck by wagon on Pleasant
street at about z o'clock Saturday eve
ming. The wagon, which was driven
by Eugene Dietz of SALISBURY, had
just turned into Pleasant street from
North when the child ran out into the
street. Before the driver could bring
the wagon to standstill, the child
had run between the front wheels OF
the wagon and the horse. Mr.. Dietz
pulled the horse up quickly and thus
prevented serious results. The child
was picked up badly frightened but
otherwise only slightly the worse for
the thrilling experience.

Meyer on Commits

MadisOn.-Goy. Francis E. Nc
Govern has announced the appoint
ment Of David Harlowe of Milwau-
kee, for seventeen years traffic man
ager of the A'lis-Chalmers company
as member of the state railroad
commission to succeed Prof. B. H.
Meyer
Mr.. Harlowe was appointed for &
term of four years, beginning Feb.
1, at salary of $1,000 a year. Prof.
Meyer was recently appointed a
member of the interstate commerce
commission by President Taft II
has always been understood here
that Mr.. Harlowe was offered a place
on the commission by Gov. La Fol
lette, but at that time he felt that he
could not accept it. His appointment,
by reason Of his special qualifications
and full sympathy with the idea OF
federal and state control of trans
portation companies, maintains the
high character which the commission
has always commanded in the public
mind.

METHOD OF CLARIFYING FAT
Objectionable Flavors Can Be Re-
moved From Fat by Means Of
Potatoes.

Excepting where the purpose Of
clarifying fat is to remove ffavors, a
good method to follow is to pour boil
ing water over the fat, to boil thor
oughly, and then to set it away to cool.
The cold fat may be removed in a
solid cake and any impurities clingi"g
to 1t may be scraped off, as they w:il
be found at the bottom Of the laver,
By repeating this process two or three
times a cake of clean, white fat may
be obtained
A slight burned taste or similar OBJ
jectfonable flavor often can be re-
moved from fat by means Of potatoes
After melting the fat, put into it thick
slices of raw potato; heat gradually.
When the fat ceases to bubble and the
potatoes are brown, strain through q
cloth placed in a wire strainer

The two had been quarreling and
Mccain had choked the boy and torn
his shirt nearly off when the boy got
away, secured a revolver and shot
his father through the heart
1t appears from statements made

despite the fact that the entire COM
munity sympathizes with him He
is subject to fits and means and sobs
continually.

TUBERCULIN TEST OPPOSED
Owner of Cattle Killed by Inspectors
in kenosha County Prepare Pc

Kenosha.-Farmers of Kenosha
county are protesting bitterly against
the operation of the law for the test
ing of their herds for tuberculosis,
and they claim that some of the best
herds in the county are being disin-
tegrated and ruined by inspectors.
In the last two weeks 200 cattle have
been ordered slaughtered, and the
farmers are preparing a petition to
the legislature asking for the repeal
ing Of the law. The farmers claim
that the law is unjust to them and
that many of the cattle ordered killed
are healthy. They assert that the
animals most affected with the dis
ease do not respond to the tuberculin
test.

MadisOn.-Declaring that United
States Senator Isaac Stephenson's

test Filed for Assembly Seat.

Madison.-The legislative session
Of the Wisconsin legislature of 1911
was opened promptly on time at II
o'clock noon, Jan. IL, in both houses.
In the senate Chief Clerk F. E. An
drews called that body to order and
Chief Clerk C E. Shaffer of the as
sembly performed the same duty fol
that body.
1t was very quiet opening. the
senate chamber precludes anything
like a crowd and over in the as
sembly the galleries were thinly
peopled, quite in contrast to the
opening of the session of 1909. The
chief interest, however, seemed to
center in the bigger body. The as
sembly was beaten out in the work
of organizing by the senate, which
elected the officers chosen in the re-
publican caucus and adjourned until
the following day in honor Of the
memory of former Senator James H.
Stout.
The assembly got no farther than
the signing of the oath at the morn
ing session, the election Of officers
being thrown over to the afternoon
session. The caucus nominees Of
the republicans were elected by a
strict party vote
Assemblyman Charles A Ingram
was elected speaker by a vote of So
to % for William J. Bichler (dem.) ,
II for Frederick Brockhausen, one
for Chris Pickart, and one for E. j.
Berner. Assemblyman Ingram voted
for civilian Jennings" Bichler, Mr..
BrOckhausen for Mr.. Berner and Mr..
Bichler for Mr.. Pickart.
In compliance with the results of
the caucus, the senate elected Sena-
tor Harry c.. Martin Of Darlington
president pro tenn; F. M. Mylie of
Morrisonville, chief clerk, and c. A.
Leicht of. New Lisbon, sergeant-at-
arms.
After the signing of the roll in
the assembly the notice of contest
of the seat of Peter Melton, demo-
crat, Trempealeau county, by K K.
Hagerstad, republican, from the
secretary of state, was read Nell
tons name was put on the demo-
cratic ticket Notwithstanding his
failure to receive the necessary 20
per cent in the primary, it is claimed,
and the contest will be based on this
ground.
