Reputable Father Cannot Gain Posses.
sion of His Year-OId Child.
New York, May 29.-Frank B. wey-
ant, the wealthy owner of a cattle
ranch near Lincoln, Neb., made an I'M
successful effort in the supreme court
yesterday to obtain the custody of his
infant child Gladys. About a year ago
Mr.. Weyant came to Brooklyn with his
wife to pay a visit to his relatives.
While here the child was born and the
mother died few days after the birth.
Mr.. Weyant returned to Nebraska to
attend to his business interests there.
leaving the child with his brother,
Henry S. Weyant, and his wife, Lizzie.
A few months later correspondence
was opened with view of having the
child sent or to the father, but the
brother sent word to the father that he
could not think of such a thing, and
that the idea of having so young a
child travel so long a distance was aD.
surd in the extreme. Finally Wey ant
came on with his sister Mrs. Lucy
Armstrong, but was surprised to find
that the brother refused to surrender
the child. He then had recourse to the
courts. and the case came up before
Supreme Court Justice Maddox yester
day. Justice Maddox decided that the
the brother for a year, at the end OF
which time the father might renew hi:
application.

I A Neighborhood Telephone.

That the use of the telephone among
the rural population is becoming a
matter Of favorable consideration is
quite evident from the number of let
tiers received since the appeara ace of
my afticle on Telephones for Farm
ers' In the Farm journal for January,
1889 There seems no good reason
why the farming public should not
avail! themselves of a system with so
many advantages attending it, as we'll
as those residing in our larger towns
and cities. I am asked to give full
and more specific account of our sys-
tenn that has for two years given uni
versal satisfaction. It was while using
a short telephone line between our own
dwelling and that of a relative living
on farm short distance away, that
the idea of a neighborhood telephone
was first conceived.
+ Eventually a number of families re.
siding on the route considered mostfa-
vorable for such system we're invited
to meet at one of the farmers homes at
a certain date to consider the matter.
:: The result'was thirteen farmers were
found willing to become members OF
such an organization.
The meeting being organized, a com
mittee was at once regularly appointed
first to- secure the right of way, or
rather the privilege of setting poles on
the bounds of the highway adjoining
lands of those not members of the Or
ganization. All believed this could be
|amicably arranged much easier before
than after any of the work was com
menced. A committee was also chosen
to procure the desired number of in
struments. After Investigating the
matter it was learned they could be
purchased much cheaper of an cleo
trical company who made it a part OF
their business to secure or ''assem ble'
the finished portions required for the
telephone from different manufacture
ers' and. thus eventually furnishing
their patrons with the completed in
struments. :.
. For $3.50 they furnished US with in
struments that were first-class in every
respect, capable of long distance work,
500 miles. This was much less than
they could be procured for elsewhere.
The only other cash outlay, which
included the two lines of galvanized
No. II wire, metallic circuit,) brack-
cts, insulators, and the services of an
expert and lineman tosassist in placing
the instruments and stringing the wire
for the eight miles required, was found
to aggregate, including the cost of the
telephones, about S21.5O for each men,
Der. A nearby cedar swamp, where
nearly each member owned a small
tract, afforded an abundance Of poles
needed. These, the winter previous.to
their erection, were cut twenty-four
feet long, four or six inches in dame
ter at small end, were nicely peeled
and placed along the line. During the
early spring, while the texture of the
soil facilitated the work Of digging the
holes, the construction of the line was

The Plot ThickenS.

J. A. Stanton Of Sank Rapids, ex-
poets within few days to engage in
the task of making a preliminary sur
vey for a line Of railroad to be run:
northeast through Benton county to
the Mile Laos lake country
Mr.. Stanton has had some CORES
pondence with Capt. A. II. Reed, of
Glencoe, president of the Duluth, St.
Cloud, Mankato & Glencoe railroad
and it is at his suggestion that he will
make a trip through the country pro-
posed to be traversed by the new line
of railroad. If the line is considered
feasible, Mr.. Stanton will form party
and will proceed to make a regulation
railroad survey.
Capt. Reed writes that the financial
affairs of his company are now in such
condition that he has every reason to
think that the proposed line OF railroad
will be built, and it is proposed to ex-
tend it through from St. Cloud to Du-
luth. From this point to the head of
the lakes three courses for the line to
take are under consideration. One is
via the towns of Gilmanton and AL.
berta in northeasterly direction and
this fact will be urged by the friends Of
Sank Rapids in support Of the continu-
ing OF the county seat of Benton county
at that point, and in opposition to its
removal to Foley.-St. Cloud Journal
