Telephone Manager. Sens .s,ou,

There is something OF q sensation
at Muscstine in connection with the
local telephone exchange. The story
is told by the Journal Of that city az
follows:
The affairs Of the local telephone
central station are in q state of chaos,
so to speak, owing to the abrupt and
uuaonounced departure OF Mr.. and
Mrs. H. S. Patnam, who were in
charge OF the destinies Of this branch
Of the hello sy stem. The circum.
stances under which the pair have
skedsddled are not of a nature tina:
would warrant q family newspaper
to publish, in case it wishes
to maintain its circulation, but
it will suffice to cav that the Office is
now in the hands Of the company,
with the probability OF manager
being appointed in the near future.

city Monday evening Investigating
the condition of the books, but as
they were early morning departures

in a letter to the superini ent.
acknowledges that her accounts will
show shortage Of perhaps $3.50.

notwithstanding that it hes at

starry banner Saturday, and all who
are sufficiently inspired with pa,ri-

American flag upon that day. and
they may most appropriately do so.

COMMENTS OF LONDON PAPERS.

Telegraph Thinks Chamberlain's Telegram
to Kruger the Right Thing.
An editorial In The Daily Telegraph
(LibcraD congratulates the country upon
Chamberlain's energetic telegram to Pres.
ident Kruger. informing him that the
go-ernment had already announced to
parliament before hearing Of the commu
tation of the death sentences that he
would commute them. This message,
The Daily Telegraph thinks, frustrated a
renewal Of Prcsidcat Kruger's clemency
and magnanimity trick to please Ger.
many.
The Standard in an editorial asks why
the fact that the Roman Dutch law was
invoked was not announced at the begin.
ming of the trial. The Roman Dutch law
left no discretion with the tr.al judge
when the accused pleaded guilty about
tho death sentence. The pro
ceed!ngs were only saved from being d
scandaLous farce by the needless suffering
and anxiety entailed.
The Daily News also. Liberal, says In an
editorial: President Kruger has justified
his reputation for shrcwdness and mod.
Grafton. He Will make no unworthy use
of his prisoners, because he is not a
savage. But as he is neither n fool nor an
angel he can hardly be expected to make
no use whatever Of them

ccived any dispatches from Washington
