BACHELOR FOUND
DEAD NEAR HOME
THURSDAY MORNING

The body of Otto Rupnow. thirty
eight. a bachelor living on farm in
the town of plover about six miles
this side of Brnamwood. was found
last Thursday morning lying near his
home, An investigation by Coroner
VIM G, Meilahn determined the fact
that death was due To accident and
was the result of the explosion of a
rifle carried by the deceased. The
theory brought out by the myestiga-
tion Is that he heard wolf outside
the house and went out to find the am
imal, taking the gun with him and
not stopping to put ON shoes, hat or
coat
Returning from the road he is be-
lieved to have tripped on harbed
wire fence and in attempting to break
the fall. the rifle he was carrying ex-
nlOded. The charge entered the left
side of the face and death apparently
WAS instantaneous. In view of the evil
dence no inquest was held.

FIRE DEP ARTMENT
MAKES USE OF OLD
HORSE DRAWN LADDER

The fire department made use of
the horse drawn ladden equipment in
run from No, station to the plant
of the Wausau Record Herald this
Thursday morning, where small
blaze had started in the rear of the
composing room floor. The fire was
extinguished with the aid of chem-
Gals before the arrival of the firemen
who then made thorough inspection
of the spaces between the joists to
make sure that all was we'll The
origin of the fire In undetermined
and the damage slight.
An overheated stove pipe yesterday
morning caused damage that may
total $1,000 to the building and CON
tents of a residence owned by Max
Tisch at 1889 Harrison boulevard. The
house is divided into two flats, the
lower one occupied by Robert Schen-
eel and the upper one by Robert Big
Thunder.
The call was sent in at 652 a. m.
and was under control half an hour
later, The flames had eaten in be-
tween the walls and floors and the
interior of the building was badly
damaged. much of the damage to the
furniture being done by the water.
Mr.. and Mrs. Big Thunder had left
the evening before for Wittenberg and
no word had yet been conveyed to
them this morning on account of the
difficulties of communication arising
from the storm.

COPIES SUMS RAYS
Curative Properties Are 0upIi-
Gated by Artificial Means.
Science Develops Sources of Violet
and Ultraviolet Rays for Treat
ment of Bodily Ills.

Washington.-The sun, in addition
to heating and lighting this planet,
sends down its so-called actinic rays,
those of the violet and ultraviolet,
which have beneficial effects in the
treatment of some of our bodily Ills.
But the sunshine cannot be obtained
when and wherever 1t is needed For
this reason scientists and physicians
have been developing artificial sources
OF violet and ultraviolet rays which
are like the sun in therapeutic action
and which thus bring to suffering hui
mainly one more simple means to aid
in alternating some of its ills.
"At the present moment, the mer-
curry arc in quartz Enclosure APP
pears to he the most promising device
for producing ultra violet rays" an
nOunced DR.. w. w CoblentZ.
physicist and chief of the radiometry
section of the Bureau of Standards at
therapeutic association here recently.
For some years Doctor Coblentz has
been investigating these lamps 70 de-
termine how closely they duplicate the
beneficial rays from the sun. He has
found that sunlight and the radiations
from quartz mercury vapor burners
have about the same total intensity Of
ultraviolet radiations. but the spec
trail quality of the two sources is en-
tirely different. The quartz mercury
lamp contains II per cent more ultra
violet radiation and shorter wave
length than are found in sunlight as
transmitted by our atmosphere.
"But we know that sunlight has
therapeutic powers, and hence it
would appear that these very short
wave lengths. found in the mercury
lamp, which approach the Mays in
shortnesS are not absolutely essen
tial in producing the curative effects"
Doctor Coblentz pointed out. Other
investigators have found that shorter
waves are responsible for skin irrita-
ton and burning.

DAIRY
POINTS
PLAN FOR BULL ASSOCIATION
Many Years, But Is Com
parativeIy New Here.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Every dairy farmer knows that he
would get better returns from his feed
and labor If he had high-grade stock !;
but the idea of establishing blooded
herd Immediately suggests 'kld glove"
farming and bankruptcy. Two
thousand dollar cows and two-doliar
milk" was one farmers characterize
ton.
Yet the United States Department of
Agriculture annually is leading
hundreds of farmers toward the pos
session of herds that will increase
the former milk and butter
fat yield with the same outlay for
upkeep. One OF the most useful
agencies is the cooperative bull
association.
A high-grade COW will impart her ex-
cellent qualities to one calf in year,
and the total of high grade farm cattle
is increased by one. On the other
hand. a bull whose mother had the
same milk and butter qualifications.
and whose father Is descended from
milk and butter strain, may sire as
many as 70 calves. each carrying its
share of the racial excellence. This
bull can do duty with one lot of cows

MOST OF RUMORS
ARE UNFOUNDED
FIRE DEPARTMENT STARTS
INSPECTION OF
BUILDINGS

Throughout the day rumors have
been prevalent that one roof and
another had collapsed or had been
damaged considerably, but investiga-
ton by Pilot reporters between two
and three o'clock this afternoon
showed the majority of the rumors to
be entirely without foundation
Under the direction of Fire Chief
Zielsdorf all buildings in the fire linn
its have been inspected during the
day but owners of these structures,
being fully aware of the tremendous
weight of the snow and the possibili-
ty of their collapse especially where
roofs are comparatively fiat, were
having snow removed as rapidly as
men could be obtained, Practically
all danger of further damage to prop
erty had ceased this afternoon with
the abatement of the storm.
The Milwaukee road got the first
train into Wausau from the south this
afternoon at 2 o'clock, this being the
only train in from the south for thir-
ty-siX hours.
At the Northwestern depot no infor-
nation could be given as to when
train service would be re-instated, the
train dispatches reporting that no at
tempt would be made to move trains
until the storm had ceased and that
then snow plows would be sent out
to open the way, followed by the pas
senger trains. The last train from
the south reached Wausau early We'd
nesday morning, all others after that
being annulled.
The whistle at the water works
blew at eleven o'clock this morning
sounding a fire. Many persons in the
down town district thought ii to be the
whistle of the Goodwillie Box compa-
ny and in all probability this caused
the rumor that followed that the roof
of their building had caved in. This
rumor was entirely unfounded VIM.
Spencer, manager, declares that a
crew of men is at work shoveling off
the roof of the factory proper and
that there is no danger.

though less heavily, through this
morning.
An unusual feature of the snow
Tuesday was the thunder and light
ming that accompanied it. In the
memory of many local people nothing
like this has ever before been expert
enced. The intensity OF the lightning
was increased because of the brilliant
reflection. Lightning and thunder
were followed by sleet which felt and
looked like particles of white sand
or salt. No path could be beaten for
the sleet Immediately filled up every

No trains have arrived in the city
today on the G. & n. w. road Hangers
have been at work but it is not ex-
pected that travel will be possible un-
til tomorrow The G. NJ. & st. p has
had similar difficulty and although

ing the restoration of the building
was adopted.
Then came the question OF the bur-
chase of fire hose for the city which
was laid over from the last regular
meeting. The board OF public works
had advertised for bids on fire hose
and from the bids received the chief
of the fire department had recon-
mended the purchase of the needed
1900 feet from three companies at
prices OF S1.10 and $1.20 per foot.
This was from twenty to thirty cents
in excess OF bids offered by the Wis
consin River Supply company of this
city for hose covered by the same
guarantee. That was the bane Of con-
tention over which hot argument
ragged for time.
Refer Question
Alderman Zielsdorf backed the rec
ommendation of the chief Alderman
Wlesner called for a reading of the
bids. Alderman Klokow called for

withdrawn and then the matter was

and declared some of the same brand
OF hose recommended had been pur-
chased two years ago at peak prices
of $125 per foot when hose sold by

ny sold for the same. Today their
hose was being sold for ninety cents

for two years without danger of in
breeding. If there We're five lots of
COWS and five bulls, and the bulls were
rotated from one herd to another
every two years, each bull would have
a period of usefulness of possibly 10
years, and may easily have added $50
head of young stock, with due pro-
portion of high milk producing heifers.
AS the first generation of heifers be-
came mixers, the breeding value or
the bulls would become established
and any inferior sires could be welded
out Five bulls kept for ten years may
change the entire dairy industry of
community and possibly give its cattle
a distinctiveness that would be a
valuable market asset
Cooperative bull associations have
existed in Europe for long time. In
America the system is only twelve or
thirteen years old, but records of milk
and butter fat production are in pos
session of the department, showing
tangible benefit far exceeding the
cost to the COW owners
AT New Windsor, Md, for instance,
seven daughters of one sire averaged
POS pounds of butter fat a year. an
Improvement over the average or
20S.3 pounds for their dams. This was
only the first generation. The i've
block association will permit line

sibilit;es.
