A Few Facts About Long Distance
Telepf1oning.

There seems to be some misunder-
standing here in regard to the Toll Line
Service the Wisconsin Telephone Co. is
now offering it's patrons, in that it is
generally believed their new metallic
circuit toll line between Grand Rapids
and Appleton via Stevens Point is in
operation.
1t seems this impression is erroneous.
There has been in operation since about
November 1st, metallic toll line from
Grand Rapids to Merrill via Stevens
Point and Wausau, but the new me-
tallic line from Stevens Point to
Appleton is not completed though the
management expect to open the line to
the public about Dec. 18th next. Until
then the old line only is available.
Upon the completion Of this connect
ing link between Stevens Point and
Appleton, Grand Rapids and Centralia
will have perfect facilities to Appleton,
Oshkosh, Neenah, Menasha, Green
Bay, Oconto, Marinette, Milwaukee or
Chicago, or with any other cities con-
nected with these points. A sound
proof telephone booth and long dis
tance instruments of the highest type,
will be placed at the Central office to
insure patrons perfect privacy of con-
yersation. Since the completion of the
new metallic line to Wausau and Merrill
the service to these points is found to
be very satisfactory. The annoying
buzzing sounds common to the old style
of grounded toll lines, are entirely
eliminated, and conversation is success
fully carried on in almost a whisper.
The work Of connecting all cities of
this State by metallic circuit toll line is
being pushed by the Wisconsin Co. and
by the end of '96 practically all cities
aside from Ashland and Superior will
be able to converse with each other
with ease.

Had Their Pictures Taken.

Up III one Of the northern suburbs an
itinerant photographer recently set up

cried a chubby blonde with fluffy hair.
The suggestion was adopted, and a
noisy consultation with the artist termi-
mated in a decision to be taken after
the manner Of those familiar cherubs
who gaze out at one through hole in a
cloud. The artistic accessories of the
establishment were limited and the
camera manipulation was Shy of Clouds
But he was man Of infinite resource
and he promptly improvised the
required ethereal background by cutting
a sit in o large newspaper. Through
the hole IN the paper each of the five
pretty heads was successivelv thrust to
be snapped at by the camera. When
the developing process was completed
a horrible discovery was made. The
newspaper page had contained a
mammoth advertisement of ready-made
clothing, and there, beneath each

More About Telephones.

The Merrill News i'll its last issue has
the following information in regards to
the new local company recently
organized and the action of the old
Wisconsin Telephone Co:
The construction of the Merrill Tele-
phone compauy's system is being
pushed right along. Already the Wis
cOnsin Telephone company has begun
to show its teeth and as was recently
predicted by the NEWS they Lave begun
to slash rates. On Monday they sent
the following communication on postal
card to their patrons:
WISCONSIN TELEPHONE co.
MERRILL, WIS, Nov. 18th, 1895.
From December 1st, 1895, and until
further notice, Rates for business tele-
phones in this exchange will be 81 90
per month, for residences IS cents per
month. Respectfully,
r. &. WILSON, Manager.
Some little time before the Merrill
Telephone Co. was organized the
present company was asked to reduce
rates. They said they could not do so
without losing money. Had the reduced
prices to 2.50 per month for business
places and $1,OO per month for resi-
dences. the rates the new company is
to charge, they would have had the
field alone. How about their making
money at one dollar for business places
and seventy-five cents for residences?
The whole affair is too clearly bluff on
the part of the present company.
The total list of those who will use
phones of the Merrill Telephone Co. is
los. This list is more than twice as
large as the present list of patrons of
the Wisconsin Telephone Co. The
service will thus be of twice as mnch
value and at the same time be very
reasonable in price and better in ser
vice. The new company is sure of the
success which it we'll deserves.
Why should the Wisconsin Telephone
Co. receive S3 per month for business
phones and Sl.50 per month for resi-
dences in Grand Rapids and Stevens
Point and only S1.U0 and 75c. per month
in Wausau and Merrill? Because thev
have competition. They can prepare
for competition in the Twin Cities soon.
The people will not be robbed any
longer, Such injustice is despicabIe.

ORDERED SALE OF ROAD.
Decision Against Green Bay, Winona
s St. Paul.

Milwaukee Sentinel:-The Green Bay,
Winona d St. Paul road will be sold
under foreclosure of mortgage, as asked
by yfifteen-siXteenths of the consolidated
bondholders, and probably this will
terminate the existence of the road as
a separate company. Judge Seaman, in
the United States Circuit court yester-
day directed that a decree be drawn for
will be filed in the course of few days.
This order is the result of the argu-
ments which have been i'll progress
before the court for the past two or
three days in the initiative proceedings
taken by the Farmers Loan & Trust
company Of New York, as trustee of
the bondholders. This is Knockout
for w. S. Mowry and the bonds he
controls. The decree will be insured,
however, in the consolidated bonds and
not the first mortgage bonds.
In making his decision, Judge Seaman
said that it was clearly not right to make
the non-consenting bonds a preferential
claim, and that the Mowry bill alleged
no fact that the holders of the non
consenting bonds were injured by the
reorganization. There was a question,
Judge Seaman contended, whether the
decree ought to be so specifically
framed on the first mortgage bonds or
on the consolidated bonds, but he
favored the latter proposition. He said
that the findings on the interest amount
should be stated little more clearly.
He maintained that as the trust compa-
ny had been paying six per cent. on
the bonds, five per cent. ought to
prevail as far as the consenting stock
holders were concerned, but that the
MoWry bonds and the non-consenting
bonds should get six per cent. He
stated that the conduct of the trust
company as trustee and receiver is not
involved i'll the question of granting a
decree of sale. He also refused to fix
a minimum price at which the property
should be sold, saying that he would
look after the interest of the creditors
when the sale came before him for
confirmation. The decree will bear
date of Nov. IA, up to which time all
computations have been made.

of the coming examination of teachers
for state certificates, and also the exam
ination for what is known as county
superintendent certificates, which
examination will be held at the same
time. This latter examination is provi
ded for by Chapter 333, laws of 1895,
and says, in brief that all candidates for
the office of County superintendent,
shall "have taught in the public schools
of the state for period of eight months
and who < : shall hold a certificate
emitting him to teach in any public
school in the state, or a certificate to be
known as a county uperintendent's
certificate"
The only exception TO this rule are

for holding examinations for county
perintendent's certificates at three
different points in the state, which ex-

shall be held on branches required for a

THEY WERE WHlTEWAShED.

Our High School football boys went
to Stevens Point Saturday and met
defeat. They had negotiated with the
High School team of that city and
expected to play with them, but claim
they were quite surprised at start of
game to find line up including not less
than six men from the Normal School
Our boys took the joke good naturedly
however, and did their best, getting a
little broWner toast, perhaps, than they
might otherwise have received. We
take the following from the Stevens
Point Daily Journal
A goodly number of football enthusi-
asts assembled at the Fair grounds this
afternoon to witness the game between
the Grand Rapids High School eleven
and the local High school team. The
air was a little too keen for the personal
comfort of the spectators. The teams
played IN about two inches of snow and
the field was Il trifie slippery, but the
game was good one and the spectators
enjoyed it immensely.
At 2:45 the ball was put in play and
