SENATOR HUSTING KILLED
Accidentally Shot by His Brother at Rush
Lake While Hunting
There is great mourning through
out the state over the sad death of
Senator Paul O. Husting, who was
accidentally shot and killed while
hunting at Rush lake, near Ripon
on Sunday aftetrnoon. He and his
brother, Gustave, were on a two
weeks’ trip duck hunting. Sunday
was such a fine day that the Senator
suggested that they go to their favor
ite bog. They went to separate boats
and stationed themselves a few feet
apart. They agreed that when the
ducks came they were to kneel and
shoot. A flock of ducks passed in
front of the boats, flying low. The
senator gave instructions to his broth
er to fire and at the same time, in the
excitement, forgetting the agreement
to shoot from a kneeling position,
arose quickly to a standing position
and received the full charge from his
brother’s gun under his left shoulder
blade, the shots penetrating his left
lung. The senator fell over in the
boat saying “you shot me.”
The senator was hurried back to the
farm house of C. A. Blackburn, near
by, from which place medical aid was
telephoned for and soon Drs. Clark
and Scliallen of Ripon, and Dr. Twohig
and Dr. Backhuber of Mayville, ar
rived, together with relatives. Dr.
Twohig said that the moment he was
shot there was no possible help for
him; that had it been possible to have
placed him upon an operating table
immediately after the* accident, noth
ing could have been done to prolong
his life. The senator said it was his
own fault. He talked over family
matters, and fully realized that he
was fatally hurt. His last words were,
“Tell them I did the best I knew how.”
USK THE WEATHER BUREAU
The scarcity of food products and
the need for conserving all avail
able supplies presents~a problem that
is being attacked by practically every
governmental agency. With the ap
proach of the winter season special
attention is invited by the Weather
Bureau to the great saving that may
be accomplished in connection with
the protection of perishable food and
other products from injury or destruc
tion by unfavorable weather condi
tions, particularly by freezing weath
er during transportation. During the
season that injurious temperatures
prevail, information can be secured
from any Weather Bureau office, con
cerning the probable temperatures
that a shipment will encounter dur
ing the following 24 to 36 hours.
This service is extensively used by
railway and transportation companies.
Often times the shipments of perish
able goods are accelerated when it is
found possible to carry them to their
destination in advance of expected un
favorable temperature conditions.
When this cannot V e accomplished,
goods enroute are run into round
houses for protection. An advance
notice of a cold wave will also often
hold up a contemplated shipment un
til after the freeze has passed, and if
the cold is protracted the companies
will refuse to receive any consign
ments of goods likely to be injured by
low temperatures. These precautions
apply in some instances prospective
temperature changes within compara
tively narrow limits. Bananas, for ex
ample, require very careful handling
and must be kept at a temperature of
58 to 65 degrees during shipment, as
a temperature below 55 degrees chills
the fruit sufficiently to cause deterior
ation in quality, while a temperature
above 65 degrees inside the car will
produce over ripening. As bananas
generate heat rapidly after being
placed in the car, the problem of
maintaining the requisite temperature
becomes a delicate one, involving care
ful ventilation and a study of the
actual and expected temperature con
ditions along the entire line of transit.
Similar precautions, based on the in
formation of the daily forecasts, apply
to shipments of vegetables, eggs and
other products liable to damage from
extremes of temperature. *
There are many other less obvious
uses of the daily weather reports and
anyone who can use information about
the weather in his business is invited
to make his wants known to the
nearest Weather Bureau office.

MAKING IMPROVEMENTS
The August Kickbusch Grocery
company, the pioneer wholesale house
in groceries, provisions, etc., in this
city, in order to keep up with the
times and th,e present improvements
• of the city, is making some new and
! more convenient alterations in its
office in connection with its present
; place of location, by enlarging it.
thereby enabling the company more
space and better efficiency in its rapid
ly increasing business. At the pres
ent time the company’s office is located
in a building adjoining, but it is hoped
that the new office will be ready for oc
cupancy by the last of the year.
He became unconscious .at 7:30
o’clock and died at 11 o’clock.
In Fond du Lac, on April 25, 1866,
Paul O. Husting was born. Ten years
later he removed with his parents to
Mayville, Wis., which was his home
until death. Until his sixteenth year
he attended schools at Fond du Lac
and Dodge counties and then gave up
his school # work to accept a clerkship
in a general store. Later he was ap
pointed in the postoffice, and
then obtained a position as railway
postal clerk. In the meantime he con
tinued to study and became a clerk
in the office of the secretary of state at
Madison.
In 1895 his ambition to enter the
University of Wisconsin was realized
and the same year he passed the bar
examination. He returned to May
ville and began the practice of law.
In 1902 and again in 1904, he was
elected district attorney and two years
later was chosen state senator.
In 1914 he was brought out as a
candidate for the United States sen
ate to succeed Isaac Stephenson and
was elected over Francis McGovern.
The remains were taken to his home
in Mayville on Monday afternoon. The
funeral will be held Wednesday morn
ing at 10 o’clock from the home of his
sister, Mrs. C. W. Lamoreaux. A com
mittee of United States senators will
attend as well as other well known
men in public life from Washington
and other cities.
This is the first death in the Hust
ing family, the surviving members be
ing the parents, seven brothers and
one sister. ,
His death is a calamity and a loss
to the state and the nation.
