Some very material changes will soon be made
IN the telephone service OF the Ottawa exchange
and Its connections. At the present time force
of men is engaged in constructing line from
Mendoza to La Sale, which will probably be com.
pleted the latter part of next week; also the ma
terial for line between Ottawa and Streator has
been received and work will soon commence
thereon. Further extensions will Immediately
follow, so that the cities and towns connected by
this circuit will be: Streator, Grand Ridge, Otta-
wa, La Sale, Mendoza, Hoowayville, Prince
ton, Arlington, Maiden, Dover, Wyanet, Buda,
Sheffield and Tiskilwa. OF course the company
propose to levy toll for every connection made
with any OF the above points, except La Sale,
which, in the original contract, was to be free
connection with Ottawa; but this charge in no
case will exceed, we are assured, twenty five
cents for every five minutes conversation. II has
been intimated, however, that at some future
time the freedom Of the line between this city
and La Sale will be abolished and u charge made
as in other cases. We believe this will be an er-
ror on the part OF the company and one they
will soon regret, for large number OF instru-
ments in these two exchanges were subscribed
for because OF close business relations between
these points. 1t would be much better, indeed,
were free connections to be established between
all the principal towns in the county, whose in.
terests necessarily center here. However, the
monopolizing influence Of the Western Union
Telegraph Company is felt, and as that gigantic
corporation issues its mandates to its smaller
satellites, like the telephone companies, the peo-
pie have no remedy but to pay the tolls. The 10.
cal manager OF the Ottawa exchange, Mr.. W. p.
Booth, seems to be doing all that lies in his pow
ea 10 increase the usefulness Of the system, and
so far his management has given satisfaction to
all the subscribers In Ottawa. II was only two
years ago that an exchange here was deemed
possible by few Infatuated eiectricians;" but
today It has become almost necessity. The
main thanks for It's success are due 10 the untir-
ing and energetic labor Of the first manager, C.
L. Ballard. II was not only necessary then 10
convince people that telephone exchange could
be made practicable, but In many Instances that
conversation was even possible over the wires.
By pursuing liberal course proportionste in
crease Of usefulness may be expected In the next
two years.

number OF boys about the Rock Island depot,

Several Of our business houses have entered
into an agreement to close their respective
stores at o'clock every evening, except Satur-
days, during the remaining portion Of the sum-

do, as it gives proprietcrs and clerks the evening
hours for needed recreation, pleasure and health,
while the patrons will likewise find it to their ad.
vantage to do their shopping at an earlier hour.

Messrs. Booth u KENDALL We, the under
signed, this day witnessed the operation of the
"Esterly" twine binder on the farm Of Alex.
Rowe, In stout winter wheat, averaging from IS
to 40 bu. per acre. After seeing 1t cut eight acres
during strong wind we unhesitatingly pro-
nOunce 1t the most perfect binder we ever saw.
1t did not drag a single bundle even In down
grain. II cut and bound every spear, leaving the
field as level as barn floor Never failed to bind.
and the only misses were made on account Of
poor places In the Irvine, and averaged one bundle
an acre. Notwithstanding the strong west wind,
1t cut toward the east In splendid shape, taking
up every head. We especially admire Its superior
qualities for discharging tangled grain, and the
positive cam movement In the binder which com.
ieis it to bind every time. Finally, we recommend
1t to those interested for its lightness OF draft
absence Of any side or neck draft, and general
excellence Of workmanship.
