KILLED BY FALLING
ICICLES.

A terrible accident occurred at the
lronwood high school last Friday at
noon, in which two girl students, Gla-
dys Cain and Clara Bergquist, were in
jured, the former so badly that death
occurred short time afterward. The
accident occurred as the pupils were
leaving the school at the noon hour.
AS the two girls came out of the build
ing, several large icicles, loosened by
the mild weather, fell from the caves,
striking the Cain girl on the head and
the Bergquist girl on the back. The
injured girls were at once taken to
the Union Hospital where medical at
tention was given them. The injury
to the Cain girl was so serious that
she passed away a short time after
reaching the hospital and failed to
gain consciousness. The injuries to
the Bergquist girl were not so serious
and it was found no bones were brok-
en-. Gladys Cain was the only daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. G. H. Cain, for the
past ten years residents of Ironwood.
She was Is years of age and senior
in the high school. Funeral services
were conducted Sunday afternoon from
the Ironwood Episcopal church and
burial followed at the Ironwood ceme-

MOTHER ADMITS
BEATING CHILD
BOY OF SIX STRUCK WITH
POKER DAY BEFORE
DEATH - HATED
HER SON

Mrs. Albert Blomski, charged with
her husband, with the murder OF their
six-year-old son, confessed late on
Wednesday 10 the district attorney
that she had beaten the child with a
stove poker the day previous to his
death. Mrs. Blomski is i'll and is con-
fined in a hospital at Rhinelander.
Questioned regarding a broken arm,
discovered by physicians who per-
formed an autopsy ON the body, she is
alleged to have said that it was the
result of one of ner beatings and that
the member had been broken and un-
attended to for nearly two months.
Asked why she had not supplied the
boy with shoes to withstand the severe
winter weather she is said tC have re-
piled, "He wanted to wear shoes all
summer, so I punished him by not
giving him any in the winter" The
boys feet, it was brought out at the
inquest, had been frozen when he was
punished by being put out in an un-
heated shed in below zero weather
and made to stay there for some time.
Alban BlOmski was the alleged lille
gitimate son of a Milwaukee man, a
former admirer of the woman. This
was given by Mrs. BlomsH as the rea-
son for her brutal treatment of the
boy, whom it is alleged she said she
hated. The husband, who has stoutly
maintained his innocence throughout,
was eXonerated by Mrs. Blomski, it is
said. BlOmski has renounced his wife,
it is said. He asserts that he was
working in the city when the beatings
occurred and that his wife had eY-
planned to him that the boy had been
injured by falling down a flight of
stairs, striking himself ON some saws
hanging in the stairway. Both hus-
band and wife are held for trial.

WEST BOUND TRAIN KILLS
YOUNG WOMAN

Miss Emma BIcholtz. the 34-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
BucholtZ, living near Lyndhurst, met
tragic death by being run over Sat
urday night by the westbound limited
train few miles west of that place.
Sometime ago, Miss Bucholtz had
undergone a serious operation for goi-
tre, since which time she has not been
well and her mind had become weak
ened so that II was necessary to keep
watch on her. Saturday night, her
mother, who had been watching her
that night, lay down to rest on arf0ad-
joining bed at midnight in the belief
that her daughter was all right and
fell fast asleep. In the morning the
girls father arose and came into the
room and found her missing. They in
stituted a search and presently they
were notified by people from Eland
who were sent out to learn the identity
and the home of the woman killed, of
what had transpired during the night.
While the mother was sleeping, the
unfortunate young woman had arisen
and gone out, clad only in a night
gown and stockings, and passed down
the road to the railroad only few
rods from the house. Proceeding along
the track for short distance she lay
down. The engineer of the train which
struck and killed her took her form at
first to be block of snow on the
track. Approaching the object, he saw
1t was human being and Immediately
made an emergency stop. 1t was too
late to stop short of where she lay.
Just before the engine struck her, she
seemed to awaken, for she raised her
head to look at the glare of the head
light. She was horribly mutilated.
The remains were picked up and car
ried to Eland. Undertaken Smith was
summoned from here. The remains
were brought here to be prepared for
burial and the next day taken to her
nome one and one-haif miles west of
Wittenberg Enterprise.

ROBERT SCHILLING'S CURE

Speaking on How to Cure Influenza
or Pneumonia Over Night, RObt.
Schilling of Milwaukee. said:
During the influenza epidemic last
year our authorities spent $4,000 TO
suppress it and it would not have cost
35 cents to the city if it had simply
recommended the cure l gave to the
papers at that time. Here it is:
place the patient in a bath as hot
as he can bear and keep him there
for 80 minutes, adding hot water as
hot as he can stand it. When he
comes out he will be so weak he is
likely to fall over unless someone
braces him up. Then put him to bed
in room of at least 20 degrees fab
renheit, roll him in a thick blanket
and cover him heavily so as to pro-
duce prOfuse perspiration for another
30 minutes. This will bring the in
fiuenza germs to the surface of the
skin, and they must be sponged on
with lukewarm water or else they
will return into the body and there
will be no relief The blanket must
be washed before being used again,
as the germs it contains will effect the
user.
This influenza remedy was given
to me by Spirit Professor Heine, Held
elberg university, who passed away
40 years ago.
"The remedy for pneumonia is even
more simple Take a tablespoon of
purified or raw linseed oil every hour
until the pain is relieved. Smaller
doses for children.

When a well known citizen of
Schleisingeryille inserted a blind"
advertisement in last weeks issue of
the Times for a hired man on his
farm, Offering the princely sum Of s125
a month, he started an avalanche.
Since the issuing of last weeks paper
this office has been besieged with re-
plies for the position, all of which
proves that farm hands are rot SO
scarce. providing big money Is offered
them There has been no less than
fifty applicants for this one petition,
many of them being from men that
have drifted into the city from the
farm and after a number of years of
varied employment in the drudge
houses, when offered a sum which they
think sufficient, are more than willing
to return TO the soil To pay SIPS a
month for farm hand for the average
farmer would be out OF the question.
However, We are only citing this one
case to prove that the movement back
to the farm is only waiting for the
wages OF farm labor to advance. The
average price paid a single man on the
farm hereabouts during the summer
months is about $55. In some in
stances men are paid more and in
others less. This is equal to 800 a
month in the city, as on the farm,

TRAINING NURSES
Appeal to Wisconsin TO Help Fill De.
mand for Public Health Nurses

That wisconsin is but one of the
many states in the union with short
age Of public health nurses is indica-
ted by the constant appeals received
by the Wisconsin Ant-Tuberculosis
Association from all over the country
for this type of worker.
1--WE have places open for 40 public
health nurses with good salaries Of
fered and no nurses to fill these
places writes Miss Lillian B. Stuff,
R. N. director of field activities with
the Nebraska tuberculosis associa-
ton, "and hope if you have any sur
plus from your training classes you
will refer them to us out here in this
enormous state where the workers
are so few"
Wisconsin is unable to meet its own
demands for public nurses, number
of counties that have voted appropri-
ations for nurses and a long list of
communities wanting school or COM
nurses still being unsupplied
Other states are also sending nurses
here to be trained for public health
work, the Wisconsin association be-
ing the only one in the country which
conducts a training class for public
health workers. The Wisconsin train
ing course is unique in the fact that
it makes a speciality of training work
ers for rural and small town commun-
tiles whereas other training schools
concern themselves principally with
health problems of the larger cities.
In the new class which began its
four months training course with the
Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis associa-
ton last week, are five nurses from
Minnesota All members of the class
are assured positions upon completing
their course, and it is probable that
they will repeat the experience of the
previous class in which every mem
Der had signed conracts before grad
uation.
Members of the class now in train
ing are: Mary " Mclean, Anery;
Minnie c. REIN, Kenosha, Mary a. Nigl
Oshkosh; Ruby NJ. Mckenzie. Arpin;
Olga Gierhahn, Milwaukee, Margery
E. McCourty, Olive K Grinsrud, Clara

ther MeinZer, st. Paul.

THE GOOD OLD ONION

Twenty five years ago, when the
la grippe was prevalent, an eastern
physician recommended the good cid
savory onion as a disinfectant and
germ destroyer, half a dozen large
red onions cut half way through,
placed under beds and in corners of
living rooms, will positively absorb
germs and although odiferous them
selves take up odors in a room. He
also stated that especially the for
eign elements in New York CITY who
were familiar with the grippe in Eu-
rope Immediately ate large quantities
OF onions. both raw and cooked. and
suffered much less than those who did
not On the Mesaba iron range in
Minnesota during 1918 the Finnish
population consumed large Quantities
OF garlic and local doctors had TO ad-
nit that amongst these people there
was very little fu. 1t is a simple pre-
caution and remedy easily understood
and used. but there are some who
would prefer TO have the flu than TO
try the onion cure
