War Being Carried Against the Chicago Monopoly.

Sixty *f the Instrameats Removed by the Exchange.

Everything Heady for Orgaalzing a New Company.

There is no abatement in the telephone war. Although the telephone has become almost a necessity, the citisens have awakened to the fact that they have signed a .contract they can not get out of honorably. There is not a business -man in town who has, or has heretofore had. a telephone in his office, but knows that he has been at'the mercy of a monopoly. The company claims that the telephone is in its Infancy, but it is well to. stop and ask if it is not better to giTe the "infant" a good choking before it is grown.

The exchange is acting in a queer manner. They have been informed to take out many 'phones, but refuse. They skip many who signed the petition. The 'phones removed are in all portionaof the city, and are scattered as much as possible.

It was stated a few days ago that capitalists in this city are willing to come iorward and establish an exchange. An Express reporter was reassured of this last evening. They are only waiting to see what the citisens of Terre Haute will do. If the citisens of this city want the old exchange, at $3 and $5, all well and good. If they signify, by ordering out their 'phones, that they wish to patronize home capital which stands ready and willing to organise an exchange at $2 and $3, then a meeting will be held, and a company organised. The Edison patent will be used. The Edison, it is st" gives a clear ring, and in talking the voice sounds more distinct.

Col. Hunter sends the following open litter to manager Goodwin: To the Manager of the Central Telephone

Company, Terre JIauie: Please give W. R. Hunter, ohairman of the committee, the names of those who signed the notification and refused to take their Instruments out, on the plea that they did not understand the agreement. I would also like to know why you have not taken out the 'phone from Ellis' Woolen mills, also the one from the Buckeye Cash Store, Havens & Geddes and Samuel Strouse? Why Is it you take out their neighbor's instruments, and not theirs It looks like boys play.

VKJO MEDICAL. SOCIBTT.

Ananfcl Xeetlaff, Klection of OAears, and Banquet Last Night. The Vigo County Medical association held its annual meeting last night. The retiring president, Dr. Mann, delivered the annual address, complimenting the society "that it hadjpassed through the periods of childhood and youth and entered upon its career of full-grown manhood." The address, which was quite lengthy, dwelt largely upon the present status of the science of medicine, and urged some changes in the character of study and practice.

The address was an able one and received marked attention and applause from the society. It will be published in full in the Medical Journal. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year:

President, Dr. G. W. Crapo vice president, Dr. W. C. Eichelberger treasurer, Dr. D. E. Glover secretary, Dr. E. F. SteteoD board of censors, Drs. Worrell, Spencer and Toby committee on subjects, Drs. Armstrong, Weinstein and Moorhead.

After the meeting Dr. Mann, the late president, invited the society to repair with him to Gilbert's restaurant, where a banquet was enjoyed. Those iresent around the festive board were octors Mann, Spain, Moorehead, Eichelberger, Spence, J. F. Tomlin, Weinstein, Glover, Stetson, Worrell, Moudy, of Kansas, 111., Swafford, Toby, Young, Armstrong, Mitchell, Ross, of Wyandotte, Kansas, and G. W. Crapo. After the sabstantius there was a short "feast of reason and flow of sonl" when the banqueters adjourned to Dr. Weinstein's office, where a couple of hours were pleasantly spent in a discussion of medical and other topics. The spread at Gilbert's was gotten up in excellent style and reflected high credit on his ability as a caterer. The .following was the

The work of removing the'phones was continued yesterday. Last night the company had sixty telephones less than it had four days ago, besides there are many instruments "plugged.' Many have ordered their 'phones out, but their orders have not been heeded. In many instances the company refuses to remove them, and the owners have "plugged," or nailed them up and refuse to use them. It is estimated that the number of telephones in use in this city has decreased 125. Many of the subscribers are complaining, stating that their instruments do tbem no good, as they cannot get any one they want. The outside towns are joining in the complaint. The coun tty merchants have been in the habit of using the telephone for ordering goods, and in communicating with the city in many ways. The service is crippled, and if something is not done soon there will be a kick all around and a kick all together.
