TELEPHOE LINE SOLD,
Green and Lafayette County Line Bong
Up by Badger Telephone Co.

UFeeH anu LaIay cite County Line Bought
Up by Badger Telephone Co.
The stockholders of the Green and
Lafayette county telephone line have
sold out their interests in the line to the
Badger Telephone Co.. whose headquar-
tiers at present are at Evansville. The
sale was made at 20 per cent. above the
original cost, or an even $4,000 in the ag-
gregate. The line is the Que that was
built from Blanchardville to Monroe last
year, via Benz, Stuart, New Glarus and
Monticello and has been in operation
for about six months. 1t has proven a
paying investment and taking into con-
sideration the earnings of the line for
the past six months the stockholders
figure on net gain of 331 per cent. on
their investment.
1t is the intention of the Badger peo-
pie to greatly improve the service. A
double trunk line will be put in from
Monroe to Madison to be used for
through business only, and Monticello
will be the only intervening point that will
be connected with this line. The new
owners will take possession July L. The
line will be connected with the new in
dependent exchange at Monroe.-Madi-
ison Democrat.

In MemOriam .

For nearly fourteen years the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Mark Head has been
frightened bp the presence of loved
son. Rollin Alexander. First a Winsome
babe then a merry affectionate impul-
sive little boy, soon growing to bright
generous manly lad. He was just be-
ginning to get such glimpses of the real
meaning of life as filled him with plans
and ambition for the future and brought
him into closer relationship with mem
bers of the family as sharer in all their
hopes and plans, companion to be
counseled with as we'll as youth to be
guided and developed
But the kind Father who sent this
lovely spirit into the home and hearts of
his loved ones has seen fit to take it to
himself Aftersan illness of only two
days during which time everything that
human skill and love could suggest was
done to keep him, he passed from his
dearly loved home and friends on earth
to be forever "Safe in the Arms of Jesus"
The over whelming sorrow so suddenly
coming upon the stricken parents, sis
ters, grandparents and other near rela-
tives deeply touched the hearts of all
friends and neighbors and the saddened
home was filled with tokens of their
sympathy. That Rollin had greatly en-
deared himself to his SchoOlmates and
companions and that his generous manly
boyhood was appreciated and approved
by friends and neighbors was attested in
many ways His Sabbath school class,
his teachers and schoolmates, the [. 0.
G. T., of which he was member, the
Modern Woodman lodge and a host of
relatives and friends gave profusion of
the most beautiful flowers that could be
gotten and amidst these sweetness and
fragrance he rested in peace in the sitting
room-the heart of the new home,
while the pastor he honored and re-
spected paid tribute to his happy inno-
cent life and spoke words of comfort to
the sorrowing friends carrying them in
prayer to the God who alone can give
the aching heat grace to feel
''Thy Will be Done
Friends dear to all the family joined
the pastor in his efforts to give comfort
the accompaniment of the piano. When
all that earthly friends could do had
been done, a few friends carried all that
was mortal of the loved boy to the sunny
knoll at the cemetery where by the side
OF utCIo Sle0porS long dSO given UdCh W
the Father, they tenderly laid him to
rest.

workmanship. lie far below, whe4 e they
could not have been hurled d. the
hands of men. In some places great
rocks, falling from above, have hs fged
on the terraces and tipped back into
the openings, forever closing all egn ess
and ingress. Along the whole front Of
the cliffs lie rocks. great and small, by
the thousands of tons. Volcanic cone )
and lava streams not far away are
mute evidences of the forces that caus-
ed this cataclysm.
The greatest earthquake of modern
times must have been a mere tremble
In comparison with the mighty force
that tumbled these great rocks about
in such profusion and that created
such destruction in the homes of the
cliff jewellers. 1t must have been
thought that the gods had cursed their
place OF abode, and the terror stricken
cliff jewellers fed to the plains. To
this day the Pueblos shun the place
OF the accursed. None Of them can
ever be persuaded to enter one of those
dwellings. This feeling Of terror can
be explained only as an Inheritance
from the cliff dwellers and to my
mind is additional proof that the
vivors OF this stricken tribe that once
took up its abode in the cliffs"
In order to preserve the cliff dwell
ings for the benefit of science the wo-
men of Colorado have been engaged in
the work of securing legislation. |
Through the efforts of the Colorado |
Woman's club and Of Congressman |
Shafroth and Bell and Senator Henry
NJ. Teller a bill setting aside the Mesa |
Verde as a national park will become a |
law. No excavations will be permitted |
unless conducted by scientists, and the |
destructive work of the relic hunter |
will be stopped. Already some of the |
finest cliff dwellings in the district /
have been ruined by unskilled exca-
vators, and excellent pieces of pottery, |
implements and even mummies have
been dragged off to oblivion. All this
will be saved in the future,
and doubtless some definite knowledge
Of the cliff jewellers and their habits
will soon result.

A Business Epitaph.

81 was hunting for odd epitaphs, ~
said n Tennessee newspaper man, land
in a cemetery in my own state 1 came
across one that was inscribed upon a
neat granite monument and read in
this way: Sacred to the memory of
John Smith, for 20 years senior partner
of the firm of Smith 81 Jones, now ]. J.
Jones & Co.
"Of course the names weren't really
Smith and Jones, but I don't want to
hurt anybody's feelings, and they will
answer for the purposes of the story.
I met Jones later, and he gave me a
frank explanation of the inscription.
Smith was n bachelor without rel
atives,' he said, but he knew a ire
mendous lot of country people, and if
any of them happened to see his grave
they might think that the old house
had closed up and gone out of bust
ness. So 1 thought it no more than
right to let them know that the firm
was still alive

judgment"

FOR MACGAHAN'S GRAVE.
Bulgarian Plans N Monument to an
Anglican His PeopIe Loxed.

| Bulgarian Plans n Monument to an
American His People Loved.
An interesting caller ut the White
House the other day was Professor
| Slogan K-stoff Vatralsky, native of
| Bulgaria, a graduate of Harvard col
lege and a writer and lecturer of some
| note. Professor Vatralsky came to
Washington from his temporary home
at Cambridge, Mass, TO see President
Mckinley and interest him in a move
| ment to erect Il monument over the
grave of Januarius Aloysius MacGa-
han, the famous Ohio war correspond
ent who is known to all Bulgarians as
the liberator of their nation.
Professor Vatralsky has finished his
studies in America and will start for
his home in September. Before leav-
ing he decided to go on n pilgrimage
to the grave OF MacGahan, at New
Lexington, o. When he reached New
Lexington, he was astonished to find
that the grave was unmarked by even
simple headstone, and he determined
forthwith that a suitable monument
should be erected, says the Washing
ton Post. He interested a number OF
prominent Ohio men in the work, and
his visit to Washington was to secure
an Endorsement from the president.
Mr.. Mckinley assured his visitor of
his hearty sympathy with the move
ment and that he would do all in his
power to further so worthy a work.
The president said the career of Mac
Gahan had always appealed to him
and that he had often thought that
some fitting memorial should be erect
ed.
In n toast at the Lincoln banquet of
the Ohio Republican league at Column
bus in 1892, in speaking of Ohio's sons,
Mr.. Mckinley said Of MacGahan: 1.-The
Bulgarian liberator, as he is called,
whose fame as correspondent Is in
ternational, whose life was a chival-
rous romance, whose pen was weight
ed with power and might, the heroic
MacGahan, was n Buckeye boy. His
body, transferred from the ancient
seat OF eastern empire, now rests
among the rugged hills of his native
county of Perry. where he spent his
boyhood.''
1t was as correspondent for London
paper that MacGahan wrote the sto-
ries of Turkish atrocities in Bulgaria |
which aroused the world to action and |
brought on the Russo-Turkish war, re- |
sulting in the independence of Bulga- |
ria. MacGahan died and was buried in |
Bulgaria in 1878, but his body was lat |
er brought across the seas and found a |
final resting place at his boyhood's |
home. Professor Vatralsky hopes that |
the monument will be erected Jointly |
by MacGahan's native state of Ohio /
and the people of Bulgaria, and upon
his return home he will Immediately |
take up the work. An association to
push the work in Ohio will probably be |
formed within a short time.

Fate of the Reina Mercedes.

Preparations are being made at the
Norfolk navy yard for sending the for
mer Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes to
Portsmouth, N H, where it was deter
mined some time since to station her.
The departments original plans for
converting the raised wreck into a re-
csiving ship having been abandoned,
the hulk will be tied up at the Ports
mouth yard and not even kept in ordi-
nary condition, such expense being
useless, says the Washington Post 1t
will be necessary to tow the Mercedes
up the coast, as 10 place her engines in
condition is practical impossibility.
She is a mournful wreck, as she lies
among the collier fleet at the Norfolk
navy yard, and naval men appear sur
prised that the further expense of tow
ing her north should be incurred.
