NEW TELEPHONE COMPANY.
Hearing Given on Bill for Its IncOr-
pOrntiOn.

pOrntiOn.
The hearing on the bill to incorporate the
Washington Telephone Company Of the
District of Columbia before the subcommit-
tee of the Senate District committee was
continued at go o'clock this afternoon
Members of the subcommittee present were
Senators Mcmillan. Stewart and Kenney.
The hearing was granted especially upon
the request Of representatives of the Chess
apeake and Potomac Telephone Company, in
order that they might reply to the argu-
ments presented to the committee by repre-
sentatives Of the new company seeking a
charter.
Mr.. jeremiah Wilson made an extensive
review of the statements made by those
interested In the new company. He said
that these gentlemen had failed to state
facts concerning their desire to establish
new company beyond the fact that they
wanted their charter. and that they were
willing to render service at S4S per year
FOR business purposes and S6 a year for
resident telephones.
Mr. Mcmillan replied that they had offer
ed TO give bond to guarantee the perform
ance OF their promises, to which Mr. Will
son replied that such bond would legally

Continuing. Mr.. Wilson said that stress
mad been laid upon statement that the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Com
pany had defied Congress in not reducing its
rates to the amount provided for In the Dis
trict of Columbia appropriation bill, which
was passed last year.
Te said that there was nothing unusual in
what his company had done, as II was very
common for company to appeal to the
courts to decide whether or not legislation
liking rates of compensation would actual
ly result in a confscation of pronertv
They had done that, and 1t was common
for others to do 1t. therefore 1t was unfair
for any one to talk about his company hay-

RUMoRED Loss OF CHECKS.
All Recovered but One, Amount of
Which is Not Known.

A passenger on the Baltimore and Poto-
mac train leaving Seabrook, Nd, about l
o'clock yesterday afternoon reported this
morning that another passenger, thought
to be a railroad man, had a num-
Der of checks blown out of his pocket while
passing from one car to another near that
point The man who it is claimed lost the
checks is said to have gone back to Sea-
brook and, with the assistance of others,
found all but one of the checks, the amount
of the lost one not being ascertained. The
total sum represented by the checks is said
to have been about $4,000.
Inquiry today at the local office of the
railroad company disclosed the fact that
nothing more than a rumor is known here
of the alleged loss, no official report having
been received here.

TELLING THE TRUTH.

Wedding.


The Palmyra (Mo) Spectator under
takes to show by satire what might
be expected were editors sometimes to
speak their minds. Here are a few
of the Spectators samples: willie
Shortike and Bette Boomers were
married at the church last even
ing. The church was very prettily
decorated with flowers and pottted
plants, borrowed promiscuously from
over town from people who didn't
want to lend them. The decorating
was done under protest by some of
the members of the church, who were
asked to do so by the bride and
couldn't well refuse. The ladies are
of the opinion that IL the couple were
so bent on having a stylish wedding
they should have been Willing to have
paid some one to chase ALI over the
town for day getting flowers to-
gether and then taking them home
again. The bride wore handsome

the groom was decked out in $40

cutaway coats borrowed for the occa-
sion. Sallie Potts was made of honor,
and the consensus of opinion was that
she was two-to-one better than the
bride. The young couple took the
morning train for st. Lous, where they
will spend more money in a few days
than Willie car earn In three months.
Willie says that now he's married he's
going to settle down. Some OF our
merchants think 1t would have been
better IL he had settled up first. The
groom gets a salary of $27 month.
which is about the allowance Betttie
has been used to for pin money. We
wish for Willie's sake that the old
saying that 1t takes no more to sup
port two than one wasn't a lie. The
bride sent us a shoe box full of con-
glomeration OF stuff supposed to be
cake. II This is sample of Bettie's
cooking we feel SORROW for Willie.
Our janitor's dog fell heir to the cake
and now he's lying in the cold, cold
ground. But this wedding is none OF
our funeral. If Willie and Bette are
satisfied we've got no kick coming"

Democratic and low tariff years
There was an increase of 20 cents
head in the value of Idaho's sheep
between 1891 and 1898. There was a
decline of s1.23 inothe following Dem
ocratic years up to 1897. And since
President Mckinley was elected. with
Republican congress that assured
protection to the American wool grow
err, the value of each sheep In Idaho
has increased by s1.53. With over a
million sheep in Idaho in 1896, their
total value was but $4,000 more than
the half million sheep were worth
there in 1892. With not quite three
times as many sheep at the beginning
of this year as there were in 1895. this
farm stock has increased nearly six
times in value. Western farmers
should study these facts and decide,
before November, II they want any
more free trade destroying the value
of their flocks. Idaho Is simply an
example of conditions in every state
where sheep are grown.

MONEY OUT WEST.
Great Growth In Bank Deposits Within
the First Five Years.

Great Growth In Bank Deposits Within
the First Five Years.
Colorado, Idaho, Montana and Wy
oming have made remarkable pro-
gress on the road to wealth during the
present Republican administration.
This is due to several causes, such as
the increased demand by manufac-
lures for mineral products now that
the policy of protection gives the home
market to homemade goods. Another
reason is that protection to wool has
doubled the value of the farmers clip
and all of these four states are wool
states. Still another reason is the es-
tablishment of the gold standard,
which gives us stable currency and
more settled business conditions. Add
to these three main causes the gen.
eral prosperity of the country which
has created a better demand for farm
products, and the reasons have been
assigned for the great increase in the
bank deposits of those states, as shown
by the following table:
