INSIDE THE CENTRAL.

Plant of the Mutual Telephone Com
pany-The Latest improvements.
Many people who use the telephone
may have no idea of the amount OF costly
plant required to equip first-class Gen
trail" Hon. A. Jaeger the other day
took our reporter through the Mutual
Telephone Company's central office, in
order to illustrate an incidental CONVEX
sation. Within a few months past
splendid switchboard has superseded the
tolerably good one with which the COM
pany started. The new one is the Law
multiple switchboard, with room for
thousand subscribers-wantlng only
about 400 of that number now and
steadily increasing-and by system OF
switches can be divided between twelve
operators, each of whom can have control
of all the numbers if necessary. Two
operators were attending to the work on
this occasion, one of whom by shifting
small lever could, first, take all the labor
upon himself; secondly, divide 1t with
his mate, and, thirdly, make every call
ring bell.
The Derforations for inserting the con-
Quoting pins at the ends of the wires are
numbered at right angles, units one way
and tens the other, making great econo-
nv of space as we'll as being very con-
venient. On the wall is an automatic
fire alarm, whereby signal of fire is
convened simultaneously to whole host
of fremen, engineers, etc., OF the Fire
Department. ., ,.a+ :;
The company is up with the latest IN
ventions in telephony and determined to
keep so, while Mr.. j. w. Pratt, superi11,,
xendent, is prompt in attending to all
complaints of instruments going wrong
with subscribers. 1t is worth seeing the
vast web of wires. where they converge
before entering the operating room-the
slender strands all numbered which n bear ond
such tremendous burden OF private and
public business, and friendly intercourse
and gossip, every day of the year and
hour of the day and night, and keep
their secrets profoundly except, like some
human beings, when they are crossed"

THE JURY PANEL.

Nature of the Objection Raised-COnse-
quences if it Prevails.
The objection to the jury panel, argued
pro and con Saturday, is that 1t was
drawn by the First Deputy, instead OF
the Chief Clerk as he law directs. The
Court invited Messrs. Hartwell and
Smith to reply to the Attorney General
in the argument. The Attorney General
in his closing speech mentioned that MI.
Smith was the mover in the Legislature
in getting the provision In questlon III,

! Excuse Luke I4:1S.
| The services still continue at the First
! Baptist church under the leadership of
Kew. IL. w. Hurlbutt. There is not an
evening in which some soul does not seek
the mercy seat, and daily there are added
unto the church such as shall be saved.
After the scripture lesson by the evange-
list, feryent prayer was offered by the
pastor OF the church, and while he lament
ed that there were so many who night af-
ter night simply listened, yet he rejoiced
that many have come and proved that the
Lord is good. He desired that courage
might be given those who would
lay hold OF life Hymn mum
Der 400, Jesus, my cross have tax

The announcements were given out as
follows: Prayer, conference and consulta-
ton meeting at 2:30 p. m.; inquiry meet
ing at $50 p. m. and preaching again at
7:45 p m; subject: "a funeral" The ser
vices on Sabbath morning viii be preach
ing-as usual, the subject; 'The Bible Idea
of Baptism;" Sunday school at 2:3O: in
quiry meeting at els at 6:15 and preaching
again at 1:45.
The discourse of last night was on the
subject of excuses founded on Luke IA,
xviii, as stated above. After repeat
ing the text the speaker said:
My unconverted friend, that
means you" He said it was a marvellous
thing in the estimation of a Christian that
man should have any kind OF an excuse
The very idea that poor sinful man stops
and hesitates when God comes and offers
to make friends with him. Judge jerks,
of Pennsylvania once said while address
ing gathering of Young people, "To in
life without making God your friend is
the most unexcusable madness"
Some make the excuse that Christians
live so''-"convert your church before YOU
speak to me about becoming Christian
If church members are imperfect what has
that TO do with Your peace with your God?
"Weat is that TO thee? Follow
thou me-" In the day of judy
ment will you say you knew perfectly
well how others should have acted
in this world, yet did it not yourselvess
You make another excuse, that you may
not hold out. VIII you be more likely to
hold out if you put it off? Begin now.
Then again you say you can't give I'D the
world. You mock your God and yourself
too. You say you can't break away from
yonr bag habits. God don't ask you to.
He asks you to give him your heart and
then you viii not have any desire to follow
your bad habits. Then again you say you
have no time 10 attend to it, You
will have time 10 die, to be sick. You will
have time to meet your god. Some say
they do not feel good enough, others say
they expect TO be Christians when the
Lord makes them Some say I will come |
out if you give me time, whose time are !

HEARD FROM.

Some Of the court house boys were say
ing yesterday that one of their number
had received a letter from the sheriff at ST
Paul asking for information concerning a
trio claiming to be county commissioners
of Sedgwick county, the best county in
Kansas. His attention had been called to
them by some parties who claimed they
were Sioux Indians, the chief evidence be-
ing the shape of the foreman. As result
they were the guests of the sheriff at his
hotel and would be until some Informal
ton could be gained to relieve him of
suspicion. A white men affidavit was pre-
pared and signed by numerous court house
friends and sent post haste as relief.
