be considered is whether the Bell com
pany would when the RIVAL company
was disposed OF or killed be likely to
raise their prices. The NEWS thinks
such course not likely to be adopted as
1t would be suicidal to the Bell company.
Tor then those who now look leniently
toward IL would rise up in their might
and at once start another company and
the Bell would in these diggings soon be-
come thing OF the past, while now
many OF the users OF the present system
would naturally adhere to the Bell, as
that company can afford to continue
even at loss, and consequently the cost
oil two telephones would be entailed up
on our business men. Consequently as it
appears TO Us the business as well as the
sentimental side would decide against the
establishment, any way at present, OF a
local company, provided the Bell will
give guarantee that they will not raise
their charges. The News asked some
week or so ago il the Bell company would
give such guarantee, but so far Mr..
Dee has not said such guarantee wonld
be forthcoming.
Some years ago the NEWS called at.
tention to the exorbitant premiums
asked and obtained by the fire insurance
companies. II the promoters OF the pro-
posed local telephone would il they have
the time. now turn their attention to
this matter and for the present at least
let the Bell Telephone company alone,
provided the guarantee asked for is
forthcoming they will be doing the long
suffering property owners OF these Upper
Peninsula towns more than a yeoman's
service.
A reduction in the price OF fire insur-
ance premiums would help the whole
community, as now there are a number
OF poor people who cannot afford to
carry insurance and when a fire occurs
their sayings perhaps OF years are all
wiped out, whereas a cut in the price OF
telephones only touches the pockets OF a
very few. The Firms have fire insur-
ance company Of their own and from the
returns made so far the insured have
every reason to be satisfied with it.
Protection from fire at this place has
greatly increased, but no one will say
I'll e premiums have decreased in proper
ton, while they certainly should be.

A Beautiful Decoration by Robert Blum.

Mr. Blum has chosen music for his SUBJ
ject Maidens in flowing, clinRing dra-
peries ill in long procession the whole
length of the frieze. The sense of dainty
motion, of pulsating life, is so expressed
that they seem poised there for an instant
only. Indeed In looking from one to an
other the rhythm Of the attitudes gives a
sensation Of movement. They are not
forms rigidly fixed in their places and pos
lures but like the inimitable figures alive
with the sense of eternal youth that for
ever dance on the rounded surface of the
Greek vases these maidens catch you In
their breeze blown draperies and whirl you
undulating on over the flower studded Ar
cadian field. You feel the swirl of their
garments; you see the twinkle Of their feet
keeping time to music as distinctly felt.

The Telephone and Fire Insurance
Questions.

Upon the EDITORS return from Chicago
the question OF establishing a rival tele-
phone system in this county was the pre-
yailng one. but it appears now to have
<Juieted down, but it may be the matter
is not dead but only sleepeth.
Mr.. Paul Grierson, who appears to be
the pusher in these parts Tor the rival com
pany, since the editors return called at
the NEWS Office and remarked that his
party was obtaining data to place before
the public at the next meeting, but did
not state what his company proposed to
do, consequently the writer Is somewhat
in the dark as to it's intentions.
To the editors notion there are two
sides to the telephone question, one oil
sentiment and one OF business, the senti-
mental side ould cause the people to
remember that when the Bel company
many years ago first started the
telephone system it was an experiment
and no doubt in the first instance an OK
zoensive one starting up in this neck oil
the woods, that the promoters OF the riy
al company would have taken any such
risk upon themselves may well be doubt
ed, but seeing the Bell company did take
the chances they were fully entitled, al
the editor sees it, to more than a moder
ate return upon the capital invested, but
oil course they could not expect euct
handsome profits, as it is claimed they
have made, to last forever, and the only
wonder is that such an astute person
as Manager Dee ~, should not have fore
aseeen that storm was brewing, partlc
uIarly after the Detroit company haC
sent agents up here TO dispose Of thei

flavor and taste. BY it's use the beer is
kept charged with carbonic acid gas
until the last drop is taken from the bar
rel. When the beer is barrelled in the
brewery it is charged with the gas, but
as soon as the keg is tapped the gas be-
gins to escape and the beer soon becomes
fat and insipid. This gas is gathered
from the fermenting tubs in large brew
cries and compressed into cylinders or
drums under an immense pressure. These
cylinders are shown in the illustration.
This gas is the natural gas from the
malt and is Just what the beer requires
TO keep it good. In the ordinary way OF
keeping beer with the air or water pump
a pressure OF air is kept on it by pump
ng air in the keg. This air is usually
drawn from near he.saloon floor or Gel
lars and OF course is rather foul and when
a pressure OF foul air is kept on the beer
all the time it gives It.a bad taste. With
the carbonator machine attached to the
kegs nothing but pure maltgas goes into
it and the beer is always fresh and keeps
the natural taste which il should have
when first made.
Orders can be given Mr.. Klein or tele.
phoned to his pop factory in LaHrium
and will receive prompt attention.

n instance Of the most pathetic hum
or l eve laughed and cried over by
turns. Nye came down to Denver nj
fall, and a lot of boys put up at the
Markham hotel. before the upper floor
had been furnished. 1t was a large gar
ret, SO to speak, and the beds in it were
cots set up all over the floor in great
profusion. Nye came in late at night,
Juggling a mammoth watermelon which
he had bought outside and proceeded to
cut it open. None of the others dared
to eat any, SO he fell to and devoured
nearly all of it. Then he simply drop.
ped the rest of the mellon down by the
side Of the cot and toppled over into
bed. 1t was long after midnight then.
and he dropped off to sleep instantly.
He scarcely stirred until just before
daylight. when his overloaded stomach,
like the worm, began to turn. He was
very sick, and suddenly caught sight
Of the remnant of the watermelon.

burst into tears and sobbed ~piteously.

The spoliation and partition of China
was begun by Great Britain in 1874.
She got up a wal with China to force
the use OF opium upon her, and then
for her trouble eXacted an indemnity
of $21 ,0O0. 900, and compelled China to
cede to her the islands and city of Hong
Kong. 1t will be seen that by her own
acts, she is %estopped from protesting
either against the occupation of Port
Arthur by Russia of the appropriation
of kiao Chau, bay and peninsula, by
Germany. All she can do is to join the
band Of plunderers, and try to make a
bigger grab than any of them. 1t looks
exceedingly as though China. as an in
dependent nation, is about to disappear
from the earth.-Salt Lake Tribune.
