COMFORT DURING
 THE SUMMER IN PHOENIX POSSIBLE!

It is possible to live with comfort in Phoenix during the summer season if people will only supply themselves with a few conveniences A woman spends a considerable part of the day in the kitchen. A cook stove or range once heated in the mo"niug l;5eps the kitchen hot all day, but will a Stand ard Wickless Blue Flame Oil Stove that kitchen might be as cool as any room in the house. Besides it's being less ex- cleaner, quicker and just as safe. In the afternoon after the mornings work is over it is a fine thing to have ham mock stretched in some shady place. To the tired, heated person, there is no way of reclining so cool and restful as lying in a hammock. And then with our dewless nights and cloudless skies one may sleep out of doors without en- dangering the health and with com fort on a cot. There are other things that are conducive to comfort here, but We haven't the space to mention them. We want to invite all of our Arizona friends to call at our store and see our line of WickIess Blue Flame Oil Stoves cheaper than wood and safer than lamp. Also see our line of hammocks They are beauties 1t bargains; and also see our stock of cUts-large assortment low prices.

The New Telephone Company.

The Independent Telephone Com
pany has requested the mayor and
council for a franchise. There is no
reason why it should not be granted
and many very strong reasons why for
the good Of the people that it should.
10 the first place, the company plans
to establish long distance and local
exchange. The company merely asks
the right to do business here and agre, 8
to pay the five hundred dollar franchise
year without asking for any thing ex-
cept the privilege to provide the public
with phone at lower rates than ever
before. The Nebraska Telephone Com
pany has charged high rate and pro-
vided an Indifferent service. The en-
try Of this new company lowers tie
rates and will inevitably increase the
efficiency Of the service. The two sys-
tens together will cost the subscriber
less than the single system end Will
doutle or treble the value to each sub
scriber by multiplying by two or three
the number OF subscribers.
The rates charged at present by the
Nebraska company in this city are 50
per month or SO per month on party
circuit in private residences and 81 per
month in places of business within a
certain radius of the central office, the
charge the reafter increasing with the
radius. This company in its charter
fixes it's maximum rate at 81 so in resi-
dences and 50 80 in places of business
radius. In the city OF Plattsnouth the
last advertisement by the Bell Tele-
phone company of rates is as follows:
Residence phones, per month, 50 cents;
business phones. per month, 81 %.
The cost of the electric fluid, Of clerk
hire and line men are the same in
Plattsmouth ard Lincoln. The fewer
the number Of subscribers on each line
the larger the cost. but competition has
given the people of Plattsmouth resi-
dence telephone connection at fifty
cents month.
At the present time there are about
800 telephones in operation in the city
Of Lincoln. The rates are too exorbi-
tant Tor more common use. By the
proposed reduction in prices the Inde-
pendent company will have list largely
in excess Of the present one, so that the
people will receive two benefits, one a
reduction Of prices and the other an in
crease Of phones. Business men, even il
they have two phones, ian talk to $500
persons for less than they now talk to
about 800. All the towns in the coun-
ties east, south east and south Of Lin
coin are reached upon this line. COM
prising, among others, Plattsmouth,
Dunbar, Weeping Water,
Nebraska City, Auburn, Elmwood,
Syracuse and every other town in Ne
maha county; Falls City and every
other town in Richardson county; Paw
nee City and every other town in Paw
nee county; Fairbury and all towns in
eastern Kansas. western Missouri and
Iowa. south 10 ST Joseph.
And Of course the company will go on
building until it occupies all profitable
territory. In all this talk of trusts
there is real feeling. The council has
an opportunity on Monday night to
prove that everybody doing a legiti,
mate business can have the opportunity
Of establishing branch 10 Lincoln.

Using the Life Rocket.

On a coast where shoals and reefs
make the use of life boat impractie-
able. or where the breakers and surf
put an insurmountable barrier between
the distressed crew on a wreck and the
brave men on shore, the life rocket is
resorted to; and, If the ship is within
a certain distance, the swift travelling
line propelled through the air comes
like a messenger of hope and life to
those poor souls who, but moment
before. seemed beyond the reach of hui
man aid But, see!s Suddenly snow
white serpent shoots up in the air. It
comes nearer and nearer, the anxious
~ strained eyes can now see the line
which travels with it. 1t has reached
the wreck and has been seized by eager
hands. Quickly it is pulled through a
tail-bloek, and, as they haul on, stout
rope soon follows in its wake. Next
comes a hawser, by means of which
food and restoratives can be passed to
the sufferers Lastly comes the life
buoy, and one by one the crew is safe
ly landed. Sometimes kind of car is
sent, in which several people can be
rescued at the same time.

pass one of them away to his wife

into her mouth by means of his tongue
