MUSTPAY WARRANT
TOWNSHIP AND COUNTY MAY BE-
COME PARTNERS.
Appellate Court Decides That . Township
May Become Partner TO the County In
the Matter of Building Bridges, and
That a Township Board May Issue War
rant for the Payne of Money in the
Matter of Public improvements With
out First Calling an Election for Author
ity-Case From Lyon County.

A question Of wide Importance to Kan
ias counties was passed upon by the ap-
pellats court at its special session here
this week 1t relates to the right of a
township 10 Join county N putting up
bridge and the authority OF township
officers 10 issue and pay warrants for
this purpose.
The case comes from Lyon county and
Is al appeal from the district court Of
that county by Elnandaro township up
On which a warrant to the Kansas City
Bridge company was issued in 1890 as
subscription toward building bridge
across the Neosho river one mile east Of
tie town OF Hartford.
The bridge is on the line between
Lyon and Coffey counties, and the two
counties, through the county commits
sioners, decided to appropriate $1,000
each for the bridge and the balance to
be paid by the citizens OF Hartford,
E'mandaro township in Lyon county
and California township in Coffey coun-
". The commissioners of the two coun-
Ni'S hicL III JOiLl SESSION ana authorized
the payment OF the money by the treas
urers of the two counties. The township
board OF Elmandaro township issued 4
warrant for $500 payable to the bridge
company as soon as the work was COM
pleted. Some trouble arose over the
matter and two citizens oe the town.
snip enJoined the township treasurer
from paying the warrant The ground
for action was that a township could not
become partner Of the county in any
public Improvement and that the board
RI township officers had no authority to
pay out money for the building Of
bridge without first calling an election
Of the township upon the matter.
The Kansas City Bridge company
brought suit in justice court 10 COM

and was again defeated. The matter
then went 10 the supreme court in 1883

The opinion by Schoonover affirmed
the judgment Of the Lyon county dis

day they had a whipstock Dit attached
TO an iron stem which weighs. about 5000
pounds. The bit Is peculiar looking
iron about four feet long and concave
in shape. They have been able to gel
this bit past the tools. They can If nee
essary drill past them but it Is desirable
to get them out of the well and thus be
able to drill the hole on down without,
making it crooked. Mr.. Miller yester-
day took the whipstock bit off and at
tached nat piece OF soft wood to the
stem. This was sent down the well
which with the 5000 pound weight above
1t enabled them to locate the tools by the
impression made in the soft wood. They
will now send an instrument down the
we'll called an opener which will get the
tools out. They have only been working
few days but have already shown their
ability 10 cope with the difficulties which
which beset them. As soon as the tools
are out an iron casing will be put in and
the water will be pumped out, giving
them a dry hole 10 work in. There is a

fident that either oil or gas will be

confident that gas will be found, al

quantity all that will be necessary to do
will be to trace back on the vein and
sink another well about twenty miles

,hat the flow will be strong enough to

very few weeks the well will be down to

Baseball.

Sixty eXcursionists went to Stevens
Point over the Green Bay & Western
Ry. Sunday, to attend the ball game and
perhaps as many more who had planned
to go were kept at home by the drizzllng
rain. Waupun players were victors,
score t to ,. The Stevens Point Jour
nal says:
1t was battle of pitchers in which
Bandelin had the best of it. Each
pitcher allowed only four hits, but
'Banty" struck out ten men and gave
only one base on balls, while Adkins
struck out only three and gave three
bases, besides hitting one man with the
ball.
In the game Saturday, Waupun took
Is clean hits off Corcoran and only two
were struck out. Now, Stevens Point
believes Corcoran TO be fancy twirler,
and we think so too. But on the same
grounds it is claimed that BandeIin, the
Central1a boy, is the star amateur Of the
state because he has lowered head
and shoulders above anything he has
yet been compared with among the
amateurs IN these diggin's.

"HeIIo" TOmah swk.

The Wisconsin Telephone Co. is not
'the only pebble on the beach, as re-
CARDS toll line service between Wausau
and Tomahawk, from this time on.
That an independent toll line be-
tween this city and TomaEawk has
been in course of construction for the
past two months is generally we'll
known. That we will be able to talk
over ii possibly tomorrow and surely
by the first of the week, will be vel
come news to ALL The completion of
this line connects in the neighborhood
of 500 phones. In other words the in
dependent companies Of Wausau,
Merrill and Tomahawk are in position
to give their patrous toll line service of
the highest order between the cities
mentioned.
Heretofore the only toll line to Tom
ahawk was that of the Wisconsin Co.
1t was but single wire, its service
was none the best and added to that, if
you were a resident of Tomahawk and
user Of one of their phones they
would not connect your phone with
the toll line. You would have to 90 to
their central office at the Hotel Mitchell
and use toll line from there. Again,
suppose you were a resident of Merrill
phone and desired to talk to a friend in
Tomahawk who also used their instru-
ment; you could not get direct connect
ions. The central office at Tomahawk
would call up your friend and he would
be obliged to go to the central in order
TO converse with you. The new line is
a double wire and will make metallic
line service from Tomahawk to Wausau
and any subcriber to any of the indie
pendent companies mentioned will be
able to converse with any other sub
scriber in any Of the cities and that too
from any of their telephones. No
more chasing to the central offices, for
as soon as a few imperfections are reme-
died, which will be tomorrow or Mon
day, you can call up from your resi-
dence or place of business aud be con-
nected with any subscriber in Toma-
hawk or Wausau The success that the
Wausau and Merrill toll line have met
with bespeaks for this new connection,
a glowing future financially and 1t must
soon become evident 10 the Wisconsin
Co., that they are a back number and
that the people will not have their
phones even when furnished gratis.

st. Johns church, Centralia, Will be
re-opened for divine service on Sunday,
August S, with special choral evensong.
1t was the intention to have opened
the church on the 1st inst. but owing to
delays in the completion of necessary
changes in the church building the SER
vice was necessarily postponed until
Sunday, August s.
At this service the new vested choir
will be installed and the choral service
for evensong rendered in full
ST. Johns new choir will be supple
mented on this occasion by delegation
from the intercession choir, Stevens
Point, and the special service will be
preached by the Rev. Father Weller,
rector of the church.
Extensive improvements have been
made in the church building, improve
ments that are but the beginning of a
decided change in the church property.
A new Guild hall and clergy house are
in prospect and will, when complete,
add very greatly to the efficiency of the
mission.
The church here, and throughout the
diocese is financially solid, and, Judging
from the experience of other parishes
and missions in the state, should nave
before it an era of vigorous growth and
very real usefulness.

Editor REPORTER-Dear Sir: Your
letter, asking how we like our new
home, has been received. In reply !
would say, we have been here since the
10th Of June, and so far are as happy
and contented as it is possible for any
one to be. We have good quarters in
the hotel, or, as it is called here, the
hall. The building is tirst-class in every
respect. 1t has all the moderDi i'm
provements, is heated with steam, hot
and cold water all oyer the house, cleo
trio lights, etc. Everything is scrupu-
lousy clean.
We have good food, we'll cooked, and
in good variety, fruit and vegetables in
abundance. The farmers furnish the
from Jersey and Holstein COWS that
feed in clover up to their-waistbands.
The cooking is done by steam. Better
bread, both wheat and graham, never
was put upon table. think some of
our bakers at Grand Rapids would do
we'll to take a few lessons from the
bakers here.
AS for the society, there are of course,
all kinds of people here. There are
some very refined and we'll educated
All are kind and friendly. AS general
thing all seem happy. There are some
grumblers Of course. 1t would be
strange if among so many there were
not some dissatisfied ones, but it is only
those who never had anything at home.
With good rooms, plenty to eat, and
nothing to do, why should any one
grumble?
We have found the commandant and
his estimabe wife all that could be de-
sired in those holding such a position;
we regret to say that they contemplate
resigning on August l.
There are all kinds of amusements
here. Two merry-go-rounds have just
been set up. Three little steamers run
on the lakes at all hours Of the day.
There is large music hall where dances
COICC1 10 dIC uCIu. OIl duu
Wednesdays the band from Waupaca,
and occasionally the guitar and mando-
lin club of ladies and gentlemen, come
over and play for us.
DIR. Mayer, the physician and sur
geon, is from Winneconne. The sick
are we'll cared for
Some might think the restrictions
hard. All that is required Of those who
come here to live is that they must be
neat and orderly; no profane language
is allowed, and no liquor, unless pre-
scribed by physician, can be sold on
the grounds.
There is fine church, used by both
Catholics and Protestants, and we'll at
tended
We have large library and reading
room with daily and weekly papers
from all over the state. The Centralia
Enterprise is among them, but [ do not

There is much more th1t might be

In his last will and testament exc
cuted June 7th, 1897, Father Beyerle
bequeathed his entire estate, both
real and personal, to Father j. A.
GeisSler, now located at Two Rivers.
The estate consisted principally of

Certificate No. 1924, issued by the
order of the Catholic Knights of Wis
cOnsin, March 3rd, $780, payable at
death.

sickness shall be paid out of the estate.
1t is understood that Rev. GeiSsler is
to use the mony left to him, not for
personal pleasure, but for charitable
and church purposes.
