To meet the constantly growing de-

10 meet the constantly growing de-
mand for Graphophone of the Grand
style at figure that will suit the popu-
lar purse, the Columbia Photograph Co.
announces that the price of the Column
bla Grand Graphophone is reduced from
SO to 500, of Grand records from 81 so
to S1.O0 each, and of Grand blanks from
81 to 75c each.
1t is confidently believed that this sub
stantial price reduction will have the
effect of placing GraphNphones of the
genuine Grand type in the hands of
thousands of persons who have hitherto
been restrained from purchasing by rea-
son of the comparatively high prices
heretofore prevailing. AS further and
even greater means of stimulating the
sales OF Grand machines and records, and
of overcoming what undoubtedly has
been the principal deterrent to their al
most universal use, the price of Grand
records have been reduced to 81 each,
instead of $3.50 as heretofore.
Columbia Grand records have justly
earned the reputation of being the fin
est product of the record making art,
and the manufacturers pledge themselves
that the goods will continue to deserve
this reputation. The reduction in price
has been made possible by the new man
ufactnrlng process which result in i'm
proved records AS well as in more eco
nomlcal manufacture. Grand blank
cylinders, formerly ST each, reduced to
Toe each 1t is anticipated that the new
prices will create demand for these
wonderful machines that will greatly tax
the superb facilities of the manufactur.
ers. Their plant at Bridgeport, Conn, l.
the largest and most modern and complete
talking machine factory in the world and
their facilities for the quick and econom-
ical production and distribution of their
goods are unapDroached.
The Columbia monograph Co. has
brought about every substantial i'm
provement in the talking machine art.
The most recent achievement and one as
startling as the original invention itself,
was the discovery of the PRINCIPLES gov
erning the construction of Graphophones
of the Grand type. These machines
give forth reproductions of sound with
the same volume and quality as the orig
inal rendition. They speak and sing
with the volume of giants voice; yet
with the intensified vibrant power there
is no sacrifice of quality. but on the con-
trary, richer, fuller and more faithful
reproduction of the timbroof the original
sound is obtained.
Five hundred dollars was the price of
the machines when first offered for sale,
and the original price of large records
vas S. each. Facilities for the manufac-
ture of the goods OF large scale and
the bringing out of new models, have
made possible great reductions in price.

Trouble Over Trolley Poles.

Lacrosse, Wis, July 13.-The La
Crosse City Street Railway company
may be caused a great deal of trouble
when it attempts to place poles on the
boulevards where the company is max
ing an extension. Some of the resi-
dents have even threa tened to cut
down the poles as soon as they are
placed in the ground. The street car
company apparently has grave fears
that the threats will be carried out, as
they have made application to Judge
Siebecker to issue an injunction re
straining e. G. Higbee, a prominent
lawyer, from chopping down the poles
of the company when they are set.

RESIGNED BY REQUEST.
How an Unsettled State of County Affairs
Was Settled in Wisconsin.

Baraboo, Wis, July 1.-THE poor
commissioners of Sank county have
asked for the resignation of William
Andrus, the superintendent of the
county asylum and infrmary The
resignation is to take effect soon. Over
one year ago Joseph Banded was sued
by the superintendent for damages on
account of alleged slanderous state
ments made concerning the manage
ment of the institutions. The case came
up for trial in the circuit court last Oc-
tober and the jury disagreed in the
matter.
Ever since that time there has been
an unsettled condition of affairs on
the part of some of the county officials
ard it has been decided that the proper
course to pursue is for the resignation
to take place. Andrus has been very
popular in his office, which he has
filled over nine years. AS to his sue
cessor nothing has been determined.

Fox river. All were thrown into the
river and were struggling for their
lives when Otto Storbeck, then a lad
of 10, was brought to the shore, at
tracted by the cries of the drowning
people. Without moments hesitation
he plunged into the water and swan
to the place where the people were.
He managed to save four girls.
