BIG TELEPHONE PROJECT.

Work Progressing on independent
Line From Des Moines TO Fort
Dodge.
Des Moines, Aug, 1S.-Work is pro-
crossing rapidly on the construction of
a new independent telephone line be-
tween Ioes MONIES and the north part
operation to Boone and Fort Dodge in
about month.
Ultimately 1t is intended to extend it
east and west from Boone to Council
Bluffs, Carroll and intermediate points
and to Marshalltown, Cedar Rapids
and Clinton, and east and west from
Fort Dodge TO Sioux City and Dubuque
and Intermediate points, and north
from Fort Dodge thru Eagle Grove and
Clarion to Mason City
The line Is being built by an associa-
ton representing the owners of large
number of Independent toll lines and
exchanges in the north part OF the
state, and It IS intended this system
shall be trunk line to which the yari-
GUS independent lines now In operation
Will be connected at various points
along the line. To make the system ef-
fective it is being constructed Of copper
Wire and on the metallic return circuit
principle and on the trunk lines there
will be but limited number of sta
tons. For example, Des Moines, Boone
and Fort Dodge will be the only sta
tions on the section now under con-
struction, but connections will be made
at the junction points with the trunk
lines east and west so that persons in
Des Moines will be able to talk direct
to persons in all the principal cities
along the lines. Direct connection will
not be given. however. with a great

Milwaukee. Wis, Aug. 1S. The Chica-s
go board of trade made new move
yesterday in its fight on the bucket
shops. and one which is of Importance
az 1t will bring decision upon the
question as to whether its quotations
are public property which it is COM
PEELED to furnish to all who are willing
TO Fay for Its service, or whether hey.
are private property and can be dis
posed of or kept back at the Will OF the
board.
The move consists of an applica tionito

injunction restraining the local bucket
shops from using the Chicago boards
quotations. 1t is not only directed
against certain local firms which are
named but it is also asked that 1t be
made to apply to all other firms of a
like nature within the eastern district Of
Wisconsin.
The injunction was not granted yes
tsrday but hearing on the application
Will be had here on Aug. "a. If the in

or imperfectly equipped for their re-
of typhoid fever, plus the possible dan
ger Of plague.
Under such circumstances the Board
of Health is taking the best course
possible. The only question which can
be put is whether the Board is using
as much rapidity as possible in the con-
struotion Of the camps. 1t is presum-
able that this diligence is being used.
But it is also presumable that by in
! creasing the force and getting more
superintendent, more could be done In
quicker time. The main point is to get
every person out of the infected dis
trict, whether the houses in which
they live are going to be burned or not
We must keep in mind that as long as
people remain in that district there will
be a constant danger of plague cases
breaking out, and every case that
breaks out adds to the length of time
that We shall be living with business
practically at a standstill, and under
conditions of constant inspection and
vigilance which cannot fail to be strain
ing upon the minds of the people. Sup
posing that no more cases appear after
today, which, alas, it must be utopian
to hope, it would be full three weeks
before we could satisfy ourselves that
we We're free, and could relax the vigi-
lance of systematic house to house in
pection.
Looked at in this light the necessity
for speed in clearing out the infected
district is manifest. The longer it is
left occupied just so much longer must
the present system be kept up. The
keynote of the matter, the pivot point
of attack is that infected district. Get
that empty and keep it rigidly empty
for months and there will be opportuni-
ty for fighting the sporadic cases, which
may spring up, with better chance of
success. Too much diligence cannot be
used.

The plague situation does not bright

some one outside of the district is
seized by the fell destroyer and all
other victim is added to the constantly
lengthening list of deaths Under the
best Of circumstances we cannot ey-

VIII we have cases cropping up within

Under strict inspection
OF course the difficulty lies in provld-
ing proper sanitary accommodation for
these people, To herd them together
in an insanitary camp would be crimi-
nal, for if IL did not breed plague #
would breed fever. We can all remem-
ner when the New York regiment was
here that disease was rife among the
troops because Of the insanitary con-
clifton OF their camp. The Board ia

There have been many pros and cons
about the destruction of the Boardman
house. The Board of Health can do
nothing else than carry out their policy
of burning. If that is the acknowledged
policy, and it is, there is nothing more
to say about it. 1t is true that people
make a distinction between a Chinese
house and one occupied by European
or an American. But when it comes to
destruction Of property for the safety
of a population, the private interests
have to go. You cannot burn All Sings
less also you burn down Tom Smiths
house where they have had a similar
misfortune.

The tram cars have at last been con.
demned as insanitary. Complaint of
their filth has been made over and over
again in these columns. 1t is true that
any public conveyances of this sort at
such time might be means of pass
ing infection, but there was no neces-
sity to have them so dirty that they
practically invited infection The order
stopping the tram cars will work hard
ly upon the drivers, whose means of
livelihood is thus taken away. Work
of some kind should be found for these
men, who have in majority of cases,
families of small children to support
and who live, practically, from hand to
mouth. Mr.. Pains princely salaries are
not so munificent as to leave much

Shortly previous to one of these an
niversaries, and in reply to similar
inquiry, the royal couple got word that
the philosopher would be pleased to
receive double bed. They wondered
what in the world could have put it
into Humboldt's head to ask for a
double bed, having probably never
slept in one in all his life and having
been habituated from childhood to the
least luxurious sleeping arrangements
imaginable.
The old man died, however, before
the expected birthday anniversary ar
rived. 1t then transpired that the
provident valet had concluded it would
be nice thing for him and his wife to
have spick and span new bed with
the royal arms upon it, and had taken
advantage of the kings regard for
Humboldt to try getting one at their
majesties' expense.-John Bigelow in

Sometimes the vaudeville theater is
an individual and independent enter
prise; more often it belongs to circuit.
The patronage, expenses and receipts
are enormous. One circuit will speak
for all. 1t has theater in New York,
one in Philadelphia, one in Boston, and
one in Providence, and they give no
Sunday performances, and yet these
four theaters entertain over 100000
people every year. give employment to
$50 attaches and to $500 actors.
-Four thousand people pass in and out
of each one Of these theaters daily
Ten thousand dollars are distributed
each week in salaries to the actors and
$500 to the attaches. Take one thea
ter for example, the house in Boston
