not only checking the force of her
fight. but stopping her and turning
her about to gaze before she had gone
five PAGES farther.
Hamilton's nerve held, startled as he
was, when he realized that an armed
man stood before him. Changing the
rapier, which he held in his right
hand, orer into his left. he drew
small pistol from the breast Of his
coat and fired. The report was sharp
and loud. but it caused no uneasiness
or inquiry in the fort owing to the
fact that Indians invariably emptied
their guns when coming into the town.
Hamilton's aim, although hasty. was
not bad. The bullet from his weapon
cut through Father Beret's clothes be-
tween his left arm and his body, slight
ly creasing the flesh on rib. Beyond
him it struck heavily and audibly.
Alice fell limp aud motionless to the
soft, wet ground, where cold puddles Of
water were splintered over with ice.

hand and knew that there was no time
for anything but death or fight The

had quickly realized the foolishness OF
what he had done In visiting the room
of his prisoner at SO late an hour In
the night. What would his officers and
men think? To let Alice escape would
be extremely embarrassing, and to be
seen chasing her would give good
ground for ridicule on the part OF his

thought, after passing through the pos

predicament threatened him, was to re-

STANDARD TELEPHONE NEWS.

The Standard (Citizens) Tele-
phone company reports progress in
the work of rejuvenating the Logan
exchange. New ten pin cross arms
have been placed on many of the
telephones poles; quite quantity
of new wire has been strung, the
switch board has had partial
overhauling and some new sub
scribers have had phones Install
ed.
The opening of the line to the
county infrmary has been some
what delayed, through circum-
stances beyond the control of the
county commissioners. Major
Sam Britton states this morning
that owing to the high water he
has been handicapped for the past
few days in the work of construc-
tion, but everything is now moving
along smoothly, and with a con-
tinuation of the present rate Of
progress, the line will be in opera
tion and open to the public in a
few days.
At "a meeting of the Logan
Board of Trade last Friday even
ing the following was unanimously
adopted by that body.
Whereas: We believe that the
people of Logan are entitled and
should receive telephone service
that is reliable and up-to-date
Whereas: The Standard Tele-
phone and Construction company
have now taken steps to correct the
defects in their system.
Be it resolved by this board,
First-That we prefer one tele-
phone exchange in our village, to
the exclusion of all others; pro-
vided it be perfected and maintain
ed in good condition.
Second-That it is the sense of
this board that if the Standard
Telephone aud Construction comp
any, bring their plant up-to-date
within reasonable length of time,
it is better for the business men
and citizens of Logan to continue
their business with that comp
any"
In our article in the Journal
Gazette of last week, we did the
Bell Telephone company au in
justice in giving the total number
of Bell phones in Ohio at 1000.
1t should have read Independent
telephones in Ohio 155. 900, Bell
phones 10000. The error was
due to a mistake In reading the
proof. We desire to make the
amende honorable to our ancient
and venerable competitors, the
Bell Telephone company.
Everything being put in by the
Standard Telephone company is
up-to-date. All the Independent
operating companies are becoming
more and more alert to the good
business policy of using the best
material obtainable. 1T is not on
ly shown by the purchase of APP
poratus, but in the purchasing of
construction material as well.

favored for years with a particu-
larly low rate for their telephone
service. Notwithstanding that
within the past three years the
price of all telephone supplies,
poles, wire, instruments, labor,
etc, has increased from 100 to
200 per cent, the price for telC-
phone service in Logan has re
mained stationary, $1,000. per
annum for residence phones, and
S24.00 per annum for business and
! professional phones. The same
poles that could be bought for 60
cents each three years ago, now
cost $1.25 each, and the lage poles
that three years ago could be had
for $3.50, are now scarce and diff
ficult to finG at $3.50 each. La
Dor is also paid higher wages now
than few years ago, and compe-
tent telephone men are hard to
find a, any price, the demand be-
ing so great at the present time.
The wild cat, cut throat days
of the telephone business are over.
The Bell that rung millions of
dollars from the pockets of the
monopoly ridden people of this
country has either ceased to ring,
or its tones have become so fait
as scarcely to be heard. The
Independent Telephone companies
have perfected organizations to a
great extent far preferable to their
opponents, and great progress in
the construction and operation of
telephones has been made by them
during the past three years.
Competition in the manufacturing
line during the past few years has
done more to secure the simplest,
most convenient and efficient tele-
phone systems for the Independent
subscribers than was accomplished
in twenty three years by the Bell
corporation.
|
The Bell policy has always been
J to complicate the telephone sys-
tens as much as possible. The
reason for this is apparent; the
move apparatus used, the more in
come derived. Several Of the gem
eral officers of the Bell Telephone
! Company are interested, in
financial way, in some telephone
patents, and they are always
plugging to get their goods into
the hands of hepublic, regardless
of whether they will make good
or no. They want the money.
This fact is responsible, in no
smalI degree, for the great super
ioriry OF the Independent Sc vice.
The public and the Independent
Telephone interests are partners
as against the high rates and in
different service they were obliged
to contend with, previous to the
acuve competition brought for
ward by the Indepf ndent Com
pr lies. And so long as the public
patronizes the Independent lines,
they will be assured of permanent
low prices and good service.
Below we give list of Subscri-
bers to the Standard TCitizens
Telephone exchange of Logan, O.
Names with numbers are old sub
scribers, and those where names
appear without numbers are new
subscribers whree phones will be
installed as soon as possible. BY
the last Of this week there will be
quite number of additional sub.
scribers to add to the already
long list. We desire to state that
the Standard Telephone company
is bending every energy and push
ing things SO AS to have the Lo-
gan plant thoroughly reconstruct
ed in the shortest time consistent
with good workmanship. The
