A joke on the oprra.or.

They are telling joke at the ex-
pense of an operator In telegraph
Office In this city who. by reason OF
his long experience at the business.
should have known better than to do
what he did. In telegraph Offices 1t Is
customary for the operators. before
leaving the office at night, to cut OF"
at the switchboard--in other words
to break the circuit. During storm
one night the wires tina. connect MIL
waukee with Racine became crossed
with the heayily charged feed wire
which supplies the current for the
Milwaukee and Racine trolley line.
When. on the following morning, the
operator went to cut in-that Is, TO re-
store the connection which had been
broken the night before--he found
that the heavy current had caused n
blaze at the board. He tried to blow
out the flame. but. failing In this we'll
known method. he lost ms head and
threw pailful OF water over tho
switchboard. Now. us is well known,
water IL one Of the best conductors OF
electricity in existence. consequently
when the confused operator dashed the
water against tho board he crossed
every wire In II with the RAILWAY limo,
causing a blaze Of considerable pro-
portions. Things looked bad for q few
moments. and but for the timely ap-
pearance on the scene OF cool headed
linemnn. who promptly pulled ali tho
wireB out Of the board. thus breaking
the current and extinguishing the
blaze. considerable damage might have
been DONE The associates of the luck

deal Of fun over the AFFAIR. and 70 soon

The democratic county convention to

not only be harmonious gathering 80
far as The support of the national ticket
is concerned, but it will also mark with
unmistakable emphasis the confidence
which the democratic voters of Brown
county have in the administration of
John Lind and will without doubt send
to the state convention a solid delega-
ton prepared to work and.vote for his
denomination to the office which he has
so acceptably filled during the past two
years. Stories of democratic or populist
detection in Brown county are manifest.
ly exaggerated and untrue, John Lind
will not only receive the solid fusion
vote OF the county but he will also re-
ceive the votes of many former republic
cans and so-called independents. ri
