TELEPHONE TALK.
Proposed Across Country Line to Cam
bridge.

Proposed Across Country Line to Cam
bridge.
About a dozen representatives from
Cambridge, Rockdale, Amos, Albion and
Edgerton met at the Hotel Carlton
Monday afternoon to talk over the pro-
ject of building an independent telephone
line connecting Cambridge with Edger-
ton and intermediate points The meet
ing organized by electing F. w. Coon
chairman and J. G.. Patterson, of Cam
bridge, secretary. The ACCESSIBILITY of
the line was discussed by Andrew Jensen,
Stephen Haight, Ole Bilstad, P. N. John
son and others, and it was finally de-
cided to appoint committees to solicit
stock subscriptions in the different
localities. The committees selected were
as follows: At Edgerton, Andrew Jen-
son and T. B. Earle; Albion, W. S. Brown,
J. G.. Moore and j. O. Webster; Amos,
P. n johnson, S. P. Saunders, G. Nelson,
and Henry Humphrey; Rockdale, Steph-
en- Haight, Theo Telefson and j. B.
Turnbull; Cambridge, Oscar Hanson,
Ole Bilstad. The shares of stock were
placed at S. with the understanding that
anyone subscribing for five or more
shares should be granted a permanent
pass over the line. The prevailing opin-
ion was that first -class metallic circuit
line should be constructed, and those in
attendance thought there would be no
difficulty in raising the necessary money
to construct such line. The meeting
then adjourned until Monday, March
9Th, when the reports of the stock solicit
ing committees will be heard. The
farmers along the proposed line are ex-
hibiting good deal of interest in the
project and it seems quite probable the
line will be built early the coming season.

Wisconsin Dairymen's Convention.

A copy Of the program OF the 18th an
nual convention of the Wisconsin Dairy
mems Association, which is to be held at
WATERFOWL, Feb. 18TH 10Th, has been re-
ceived, and in the list Of subjects to be
discussed. while the creamery and cheese
factory are in no way forgotten, the milk
producer and his COWS receive the larger
share of attention.
The fountain-head of all prosperity in
dairying is the COW, and the Dairymen's
Association appears to recognize this
fact, and therefore does not duplicate the
work of the dairy schools and associa-
tons of factory butter makers and cheese
makers.
The premiums this year, thanks to
several manufacturers and dealers in
dairy goods and supplies amount to the
goodly sum of $500, and are distributed
as follows: For dairy herds sending
milk to creamery Or cheese factory, $3.50;
for dairy butter, $75; for creamery but
ter, S125; for print butter, SIS; for cheese
$125; for sweepstakes, $40. The premi-
ums for dairy herds is an entirely new
departure, and should result in bringing
out sharp competition and demonstrate
ing what are the possibilities for success
in the dairy industry, and possibly afford
some evidence as to the best breed of
COWS for dairy purposes in Wisconsin.
Mr.. George w. Burchard, Fort Atkin-
son, is secretary of the association, and
will send copies of the program on appli-
cation and furnish any other desired in
formation.

TWELVE PRESIDENTIAL TICKETS.

The Chicago, TiGes-Herald in com
menting says mat two million new
voters of this country who will vote for
president for the first time this fall will
have great wealth of material from
which to make choice of candidates
In the exercise of the elective franchise
the first voter is not restricted to the
two great parties by any means. He
has an opportunity to crafty every
possible POLITICAL within or caprice. He
can easily accommodate any crank po-
litical motion that may have taken pos
session of his mental faculties. Such a
bargain-eounter array of presidential
offerings was never presented in any
national campaign in the history of the
country.
There are now twelve presidential
tickets in the field. The last two addi-
tons were made last week when noni.
nations were made by the Union Re
form Party" and by the National
Party. The nominations of the former
were made by referendum ballot. in
which thirty states participated. The
nominations Of the National party were
made in regular convention in New
York City. Its platform is as formula
BILE and pretentious as though !. were
going to cast several million votes 1t
aims to secure remuneration of all
imperial or colonial pretentions with
regard to foreign countries claimed to
have been acquired in consequence OF
the Spanish American war. 1t is also
for single gold standard, for the merit
system in the public service and for the
abolition of all 'corrupting special
privileges, whether under the guise Of
subsidies, bountles, undeserved pensions
or trust breeding tariffs.
1t is nearly two months yet before
the presidential election There is am
Pile time for the nomination of more
presidential tickets If any American
citizen is harboring economic dreams or
any kind of government phantasmagoria
that is not adequately represented in
the lists let him hold up his right hand
Ind he will be accom- dated with new
ticket.

had several ribs broken. This occurred
just before starting time at the mine.

No. 2 and No. 8 collieries to the Oneida

General superintendent Kudlick to go

bands would get an increase in wages and
that their other grievances would be pron-

was wounded in the head. Then the
striking men and the women rushed
toward the No. 2 colIiery. A force of
about fifty special policemen who had
been brought down from Beaver Meadow
to prevent trouble, attempted to inter-

liceman Mills was the first to fall. Then
Joseph Lssko, the striker, staggered to the
ground. No one knows who shot first,
but 1t is believed that both the strikers
and the officers used their weapons. A
gunshot killed Mills and a small shot
struck Policeman Kenor. Lesko, the
striker, was struck by a ball from revol-
yer, with which all the officers were
armed.
J After the shooting the strikers dis

assistance. His chief deputy, James
o. Donnell, arrived her this afternoon
and went to the scene with force OF
men. Rev. Carl Houser a Lithuanian
minister from Freeland, who baptised
child at Oneida just at the time the
shooting was in progress, was mistaken
by the strikers for Superintendent Kud-
Ii ok and narrowly escaped being stoned.

FAMILY OF THREE BURNED TO
DEATH

Boston, October 10 by fire in a little
one story wooden dwelling on Swett
street, Roxbury district, early this morn
ing, three persons were burned to death.
The house was occupied by Edward
TouzaIin and family.
The fire started from some unknown
cause, while all the occupants of the house
were asleep
The house was merely hut, built of
waste wood picked up on the city dump.
Edward Touzalin and his two sons, Ed
ward, Jr., aged six years, and James,
aged IA years, who assisted him in ped
ding wood, were the only occupants OF
the place.
The police officer on the beat saw the
flames and pulled in an alarm. The off
Ger tried to arouse the inmates, but the
building was already completely wrapped
in flames.
The department. had considerable dis
tance to travel to reach the burning
building. They had to break down the
frame walls of the surrounding structures
to get at the fire.
AS soon as the flames were in part sub
dued, they entered the hut and there
found the bodies Of the three occupants.
They were badly burned. The dwelling
was entirely destroyed.
