Drowned at Weyerhauser

Mrs. George Corye'l of Osceola,
while visiting her sister, Mrs. j. c.
Stubs at Weyerhauser, committed
suicide by drowning in the little lake
near that village about o'clock Tues
day morning. 1t is believed that she
had become demented as result of
brooding over the death of her l9-year-
old son, who died two months ago.
Mrs. Coryell, before her marriage
twenty years ago, was school teacher
in Chippewa Falls, her maiden name
being Sabina Clancey. She was ma
tive of Manchester, England, the date
of her birth being July 81, 1868. She
leaves her husband and two sons, four
sisters and one brother to mourn her
sudden departure. The family has re-
sided at Osceola for nine years. Fun

Jake has long been jealous of his wife
and some eight years ago, before our
county jail was completed, he served
six months in the Jail at Barron for
threatening to shoot her. Mrs. Klug
is reputed to have some money coming
to her from the old country.
Two boys, Tony, aged 10, and Joe,
aged 8, are the real victims of the
tragedy. Since they were old enough
to walk they have been obliged to
carry beer home from the saloon at all
times of the day, and now they have
this horror to haunt them through life.
Mrs. Klug was still alive and con-
scious at noon today at the VanPool
home, though suffering great pain and
complaining of her back. DR.. Ross
says that she may recover, though the
chances are against it.
Mr.. Klug's parents are expected to
arrive today from Dickson, N. Oak.

a Good Hypnotic Exhibition

''The Macks" gave three high-class
hypnotic performances Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday evenings, enthus-
iastic audiences packing the opera house
every night. Aside from the regular
stunts in that line, number of spec
ialties were introduced, novel, interest
ing and bewildering. One of the best
was telepathic work by MIR. and Mrs.
Mack. Mrs. Mack was put into a hyp-
motto sleep, after which Mr. Mack
passed among the audience and received
suggestions as to the stunts which the
sleeper was to perform. The acts
were then performed by Mrs. Mack as
suggested, her eyes all of the time
closed, and no suggestion by Mr.. Mack
through word or touch. Among the
acts were taking mans watch from
his pocket and examining it, taking a
pin from scarf, taking lady's brace
let from her wrist and placing it on the
other wrist. This work was certainly
wonderful. AS advertised, subject
was put to sleep in the Ellingboe Win
dow Saturday evening, the operator
being at Stanley and suggesting over
the telephone. After a fifty hour sleep
he was awakened on the stage by Mr.
Mack, the latter standing back in the

MURDER AND SUICIDE
JAKE KLUG STABS WIFE AND
CUTS HIS THROAT
RESULT OF PROLONGED JEALOUSY
Two Small Boys are the Victims of
Parents Sin, Retaining Hor-
rible Memory

One of the most shocking tragedies
the little home of Jake Klug on Third
street east, in the First ward, about 6
o'clock Wednesday evening, resulting
in the death of the father, the probably
fatal injury of the mother and the
orphaning of two sons, aged and 10
years, and melting almost to the point
of violence the whole community, who
were conversant with the family's
troubles.
Jake had evidently taken a day off
from his work at the Wooden Ware
mill, with the intention of eliminating
an affair that had caused trouble in his
home for several years. He went
about town consulting with officers of
the law and others, and it was under
stood that he intended to start pro-
ceedings for divorce that day. He
had been drinking some, though not
heavy drinker, and had evidently
worked himself into a great fury.
Going home from town at $50, the
long standing quarrel with his wife
was resumed, ending by his plunging
butcher knife into her body almost to
the hilt, the wound being to the right
side Just below the ribs The act was
witnessed by Mrs. H. H. VanPool, the
neXt-door neighbor, who saw it
through her window. Mrs. Klug ran
screaming into VanPool's house, and
Mr.. VanPool began telephoning for the
police and medical aid.
Nrs. Ross, Day and Bugher and Chief
of Police Culver were soon on the scene,
but not before Klug had completed the
double tragedy by ending his own life.
The blood upon the floor plainly indicated
how he had stood before the mirror in
the little bedroom and cut his throat.
1t was most complete job. Leaving
the mirror he had staggered into the
bare front room and fallen upon the
oldest boy, who was sent home by his
mother to see if Klug had carried out
his threat. The razor with which the
act was done had the edge all broken
off.
Jake Klug was a hard-working man
and about three years ago had built the
house which was the scene of the trag-
edy. The last payment on the lot ha
been made several months ago, and
there was a small mortgage on the
house.

Ten YEARS. GROWTH
AS SHOWN BY CENSUS REPORT
FOR 1910
TWO new FARMS EVERY WEEK
Valuation Of Rusk County Farm
Property More Than
DOuhled

By M H. Mylrea, Sec. Wis Advancement Assn.
The new bulletin sent out by the
Census Bureau at Washington is telling
a tale of Wisconsin's progress in Chip
pewa and Rusk Counties during the
past decade In the figures given for
the year 1900, Chippewa County includ-
ed the present territory of Rusk Coun-
ty The following figures and statistics
are obtained by combining the reports
of Chippewa and Rusk Counties in the
different items given. The population
of Chippewa County in 1900 was 80, ,037.
The combined census of the two coun-
ties in 1910 was 43, 3,243. The difference
in these two items shows an increase
of population amounting to 0,226.
This is certainly good showing, and is
State.
In 1900 the total number of farms is
given as 1850. In 1910 the same terri
tory contained 4,148 farms, showing
that there had been opened 1908 new
farms in ten years, being at the rate
of 106 farms per year, or two farms
per week for the whole decade.
The total land area of the two coun-
ties is approximately 1,256, $50 acres.
The number of acres included in farms
in 1900 was 382, IT, Ten years later
the number of acres in farms was
sol, ,732. These figures show that THIS
portion of our state is making rapid
progress, and the possibilities of the
future are great. Quite percentage
of lands not included in the farm area
is cut over lands. When these lands
are taken for actual settlement their
holdings will increase in value even
faster as population increases. This
is true because settlers naturally buy
the lowest priced lands and when they
add improvements and clearings to the
value of the land the ratio of increase
must be greater.
In 1900 the average value per acre in
farms in Chippewa County was $12. so.
Ten years later farm lands were $50 04
per acre.
Another way to measure the rapid in
crease of value in Chippewa County is
to compare the total amount of farm
property in the years 1900 and 1910. In
1900 the total value of all farm property
was So, 227, ,687. Ten years later in the
same area the total value of all farm
property was S21, ,9O5, ,357. These fig
ures show that the increase in that
decade was $13, ,677, ,670. This is an in

The Marked Excellence of our

small cost is remarkable, for no

can be procured anywhere at the
prices placed upon them. This is
what gives our goods their great
advantage over others and has

Some goods may be sold at low
