OBJECT TO HIGHER TELEPHONE PRICES Trfagersrowri Telephone Company Has a Boycott on Its Hands as a Result.
CRITICISM AND OBJECTION.
HE ADVANCE IN PRICE, WHICH BECOMES EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1, IS FROM $1.00 A MONTH TO $1.25.
flagerstown, Ind., Sept. 20. The Ha
perstown Telephone company, which la owned by Lon Boyd, a banker, of Cam
bridge City, is experiencing a boycott
on the part of its country patrons.
.Three years ago the company voliin
tarily reduced the rate to party line subscribers from $1.25 to $1.0 per month. Last month notice was served on all country subscribers that the rate
Jn the future would be retured to and the reason for the advance was that prices of labor and material had advanced greatly. The notice caused much criticism and objection all along the lines. Some subscribers have actively taken the field against the new rate and are circulating petitions in which the signers agree to have their phones taken out if the new rate is insisted on. Many subscribers have signed the petitions and it looks now as if practically all the subscribers will have their phones removed October 1, when the new rate begins. The company argues that the new
rate Is not extortinate and should have
Drevailed from the start. The rate of
$1.25 will begin October 1 even if all the country subscribers discontinue. Probably no small exchange in the
country gives its patrons so many up
to-date appliances as this concern. One of the latest is the installation for experimental purposes, of a selective
Tinging system, which enables party line patrons to talk privately with any
phone on the line or system. Hereto
fore any party line phone was able to
hear all conversations going over the
wire, which caused a great deal of an
noyance and was the source of endless
trouble growing out of meddlesome
eavesdroppers. It is not believed that
when it comes to the test many party line subscribers will retire on account oi the trifling advance in rates.
MORE CHEERFUL NEWS FROM PEACH REGION
J. C. Garver Inclined to Think Report Overdone.
TEN DAYS IN MICHIGAN.
J. C. Carver of this city, has just returned from a visit through the peach belt of Michigan and reports
that the crop of peaches is not as de
pleted as has been reported over th
country. He says that the early
peaches were destroyed by the frost
but that the late crop is plentiful so
far as can be ascertained during his
ten days' stay in that region.
Mr. Garver visited his brother, D.
it. Garver, in Oceanna county, who
has a fruit farm of 200 acres, 150 acres
of which are in fruit trees. So far
this season 800 bushels of plums have
been sold and it is thought the yield will total 1,400 bushels. The farm has
also about 600 bushels of peaches, free
stones, that will bring $1.75 per bush
el, delivered at Heart, the nearest town. Mr. Garver visited another farm of 52 acres, all in peaches that pro
duces 15,000 bushels.

Their Unceasing Work Keeps
Strong and Healthy. All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys once every three minutes. The kidneys filter the blood. They work night and day. "When healthy they remove about 500 grains of impure matter daily. When unhealthy some part of this impure matter is left in the blood. This brings on many diseases and symptoms pain in the back, headache, nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheuma
tism, gout, gravel, disorders of the
eyesight and hearing, dizziness, irreg
ular heart, debility, drowsyness, drop
sy, deposits in the urine, etc. But if you keep the filters right you will
have no trouble with your kidneys

St., Kichmond, ind.. ays: A num

backache and the kidney secretions were too free and discolored. This was brought on. I think, by the trying nature of my work. Doan's Kidney Pills were recommended for similar

James Clay, a local constable, while in Liberty, Ind., Thursday, saw one of his friends killed outright and another
friend fatally injured. These unfor
tunate men were Michael Farlander and Samuel Smith, the former being
killed. Both men were residents of Liberty and were very well known.
Farlander and Smith were engaged
in painting the tower on the court house. They sat on a swinging scaf
folding which was suspended a consid
erable distance above the ground.
About the court house square were a large number of people, among them
Mr.vCIay. Suddenly, one of the ropes which held the scaffolding, broke, and both men were hurled Into space. When they alighted on the ground below the crowd which witnessed the accident,
gazed at the victims without making a move, so shocked was everyone by the accident. Finally several people rushed to the assistance of Farlander and Smith. Farlander was found to be dead, his head being crushed by the fall. Smith was still living, but so
badly injured that it was seen he had
no chances of recovery.
SEWER SYSTEM IN THE VICINITY OF WEST SECOND STREET MAY BE MADE POSSIBLE BY AN OHIO MAN.
The board of public works thinks that a man has finally been located who will be willing to submit a bid for thejeonstruction of the sewer system at West Second street. A few days ago Mr. Merrill wrote to Mr. Lowery of the sewer pipe company at
Jackson, Mich., asking him if he knew of any contractors who would be will
ing to submit a bid for the construc
tion of this sewer. Mr. Merrill explained that the board had been un
able to interest any contractors in the job because the state law provid
ed that contractors could not be paid until the completion of the work they were engaged in.
Mr. Lowery wrote back to Mr. Mer
rill stating that Theodore Hi!', a well
known Ohio contractor, was just completing a big contract at Lancaster, O., and that he probably would consider
submitting a bid for placing the
Northwest Second street sewer sys
tern.
At the board meeting Mr. Merrill
stated he had prepared plans and spe
cifications of the proposed sewer sys
tem and that he would at once for
ward them to Mr. Hill. The board expects that this contractor will submit a bid. If he submits a reasonable bid the board will waste but little
time in closing a contract with him.
The railroad company is prepared
to start at any time on its part of

IT IS CLAIMED THAT UNDER THE
CALIFORNIA LAWS THE LIMIT OF RESPONSIBILITY HAS ALMOST EXPIRED.
IMPORTANT QUESTION BEFOBESTATE BANKS Matter of Re-incorporating Is Presented.
WANT TO RETAIN NAMES.
(Hagerstown Exponent.) Recent events have caused a revival of comment on the subject of our old Commercial bank failure. The transfer of some of the John Bowman "property to Mrs. Bowman, and a conference of some of the heaviest losers in the failure, with attorneys, for the purpose of endeavoring to hold James Wyatt responsible as a partner in the failure, are the main causes of the revival of the bank talk. The most interesting part of it all, to the depositors, is the subject of Mr. Wyatt's responsibility. Could he have been held responsible the losses would have been much less,
and perhaps but little. It is claimed as a positive fact by many interested that under existing conditions he was responsible as a partner, and could have been held, had the proper legal steps been taken at the proper time. Mr. Wyatt was a partner in the bank, and it is elJTNMed that he failed to give legal
notice when he sold his interests, as
the law requires, hence is legally responsible, and some now feel that their
loss is much heavier than it would
have been had there been proper legal management at the proper time, and
who is responsible for such neglect, is
what some would now like to know. Those who had attorneys working on
the case have this-jveek received very discouraging information; in fact have
no hopes whatever of securing any
thing from Mr. Wyatt. California laws contain a two year limit in such matters. that is, responsibility In such
cases ceases in two years, and in this
instance it is claimed that the limit of
responsibility has almost expired.
State banks of Indiana which desire to renew their charters and reincorporate under their old names are confronted with an embarrassing situation. The question as to whether a state bank can reincorporate at the expiration of its charter under its old name, operating as two banks of the same name, one of them a new bank handling new business, and the other liquidating its affairs as the old bank.
has been laid before Attorney General James Bingha. The attorney general is expected to render an opinion soon, following a conference with Fred Sims, secretary of state. Two weeks ago a state bank applying to Secretary Sims for a new charter raised the question of reincorporating under its old name. The bank desired to reincorporate under its old name so as to save the cost of printing new stationery and to get the benefit of its long established trade name. The same question was raised by two other banks later. In these cases Sec
retary Sims held that the banks could nnt rHnrornorate under their old
names that the names must be chang ed to the extent of one word at least.
ttio hanks, however, insisted on an
opinion from Attorney General Ding

How i. -vj i'.seps Cool.
Frofessor E. L. Trouessart of the
Faris Museum of Natural History, in
a lecture on animal heat, remarked that the dog, whose respirations In re
pose number only twenty-live or thirty per minute, may in running acquire a
rate of respiration as high as 350 per
minute. The effect of this acceleration favors the dissipation of animal heat by evaporation from the pulmonary vesicles. The CsS perspires very little or not at all by the skin, pulmonary taking the place of cutaneous transpiration. It is this fact which enables the dog to pursue its game so long
and persistently. Animals of the cat family, on the other hand, do not pos
sess this peculiarity, and for that reason tigers, panthers and lions lie In wait for their prey, but do not pur
sue It over long distances. The bird possesses pulmonary transpiration In a very h!g? v"".
