DEAD BODY
FROM CANAL.
At PORTAGE:

The dead body of Seal Orphal was
fished from the canal at Portage after
it had been in the water several days.
He had been employed on the Barker
farm near Portage and while on the
way to the farm met Jonah Jones, a
former employee on the same farm. La
ter they went to Portage where both
imbibed quite freely and were seen
very much under the influence of liquor.
He was seen along the canal by his
sister and others but they could not
induce him to go home.
When found Orphal still clutched his
pocket book containing $500 in his
hand and it is the general supposition
that when he awoke from his intoxica-
ted condition he walked along the canal
bank in dazed condition with one
hand in his pocket and losing his bal
ance fell into the water and was
drowned, clutching the pocket book in
his death struggle. Whiskey cost him
his life. Orphal was man about thir-
ty years of age and is survived by his
wife formerly Anna Wendt, and one
child.

the back, but more backaches are caused
by overstrain, overwork and muscle
starvation due to thin blood than by any
thing else.

When A. D Brown went to his barn
in the Third ward few mornings ago
he found the tines of fork sticking in
the side of his faithful horse With
much difficulty the fork was removed
and the animal died soon after. 1t is
not positively known whether the ami
NAL accidentally lay upon the fork Or
whether someone thrust the instrument
in It's side. The animal appeared sick
in the morning when found by Mr..
Brown. After the death of the animal
Mr.. Brown telephoned to have the car
cass taken away and when the two men
came they wanted two dollars. Mr..
Brown said if they did not desire to
take it for the hide they could leave it
alone Then they desired to know if he
could skin the animal and Mr. Brown re-
piled that as horses, he had not only
been skinned but that ne could skin
them. The two men went away and
soon after two others came and disap-
peared with the dead body.
The cold, damp weather that has pre-
vailed throughout Wisconsin this sum-
mer has made the tomato crop one of
the shortest and poorest in years. The
tomatoes are not only scarce, but are
ripening in q most unsatisfactory con-
ton. Those which do ripen seem to be-
gin to decay few days after they are
taken from the vines. David Sansumr
the truck gardener, states that although
his tomato vines have received as much
attention as usual he will be thankful
for half crop if the frost holds off. The
tomatoes which were not planted as
early as Mr. Sansum's have even fewer
chances of ripening.
At Spring Green E. G. Hood had a
narrow escape from violent death.
He is employed by the telephone COM
pany and when he descended from a
pole the spike on one of the hooks
which he wore penetrated box filled
with dynamite caps. Fortunately they
did not explode. These caps are so
effective that Robert Coleman at
Spring Green lost portion of his hand
when he tried to pick one up some time
ago.
The pole upon which Hood was work
ing is located near the place where the
road men have been crushing rock this
summer and Mr.. Hood presumes that
some one of them had placed the caps
there, away from their other parapher-
MALTA perhaps as precaution against
accident and then forgotten them, as the
box was hidden in long grass which had
grown up around it.

Making Rates

read the following paper this morn
ing:
1t is now quite generally agreed
that certain principles Of rate making
may be laid down which will apply to
all utility companies whether large or
small, and all stations regardless OF
their capacity The correct rate must
be one that is satisfactory to both the
utility and its public. In order that
this rate be satisfactory, to the COM
pany It must, "a be easily calculated;
~ be adaptable to all classes of SER
vice; (3) be capable of being raised
or lowered as the case may demand
without interfering with the prin-
ciples on which it is based; and ca
yield reasonable return on the in
yestment used and useful in serving.
To be satisfactory to the consumer
th.s rate must be ~ as low as 1t is
possible to make it.; (2) equitably di-
vided between the various classes Of
service; and (3), easily understood by
the consumer The correct system of
