Every one of the ten families living

for months
Mrs. Woerner, who occupies the south
fiat on the ground floor, owns a black
and-tan terrier. At O'Clock this morn
ing she was awakened by the frenzied
barking of the animal. Nothing would
quiet it, and at last she arose to punish
it. The dog continued his barking and
scratched at the hall door until Mrs.
WOerner opened it.
AS she did she smelled smoke Look
ing further, she saw that woodwork
surrounding the letter boxes in the
vestibule was fire. Mrs Woerner
rushed out, and as she did so the little
dog gave several short barks which
were followed by pandemoniun, caused
by every other dog in the building
the st. Bernard, a beagle hound, and a
setter leading off, followed by sharp
barkings in every key from every other
dog in the house.
The dogs did not quiet down until the
fremen put out the blaze.

TELEPHONE DEVELOPMENT
The Fever is Spreading-MoreT Than
Billion Dollars in It

From the beginning of March to the
present time seventy new telephone
companies were incorporated in the
country with a capital of nearly 81, 000,
900. The movement toward free and
long distance speech is by no means a
plutocratic one, for whereas the Auto
matte Exchange company was incor-
porated in Meriden, Conn.,, with a capt.
tai stock of $3.50, 900, the Jackpot of Ken
lucky is satisfied to begin with $40. The
Daily Telephone News, a paper pub
lished in New York city, estimates that
by the end of next year more than a
billion dollars will have been invested in
the telephone alone, and that it will
give employment to 600 people in
one way or another. A single branch
of the Bell system has just ordered
$4,000 miles of copper wire, and the day
does not seem to be far distant when
nearly every house will have it's trans
mitter and receiver. There are at pres
ent four big combinations fighting the
Bell, namely, the Massachusetts and the
Automatic companies in New England
and the north, the Kinloch in the west
and the Maryland in the south, all of
which are just now embarking in great
telephone enterprises.

TAYLOR IN REVOLT.
Chicago Ball Club Pitcher Says He
Will Not Play For $1,000.

The Chicago ball club passed through
Topeka one day last week over the San
ia Fe in their special car Napier en-
route to Kansas City.
Pitcher Jack Taylor slated by Man
ager Burns to alternate in the box with
Griffith and Callahan, is in belliger-
enu mood, owing to the refusal OF Pres
ident Hart to send him a contract call
ing for more than S1.5OO Talking to his
fellow-players Taylor declared with de-
termination, almost with obstinacy,
that he would not sign at the figure
named. He asks 81, 100 for the seasons
work.
1T don't make any difference what I
got last year" said Taylor. Il have
had the worst of it every year since
began playing. That's the reason am
making a stand. Last year l received
SEQ from Milwaukee. and was to get
$500 more if I played good ball. I pitch
ed thirty-eight games, winning twenty
six, but Connie Mack didn't give me
one cent of that 5000. Evidently 1 don't
know W hat good ball playing is. so no
more provisional contracts for me.
Now, there is no use in my signing
with Chicago for 81 500. or even 81. 500,
as / wouldn't be satisfied. and therefore
would not do good work Sooner than
where 1 can make $95 to $40 a month

asked one of the players.
oh, that's all right; my father-in-
law is a superintendent. l would rather
play in the Western league for 81, 200
season than in the National for 81. 800.
It's not as hard work, and a mans
arm lasts longer. 1 won the only five
games L pitched for Chicago last fall
and the management is using my name

L am. But Hart only offers me $500
