Of loose and baggy blouses as street

while some Of them. especially such as
are to be worn in visiting, are really
elegant in form aEd in finish. The ma

mannish as is possible, including COW

and mixtures, also many cloths with
zibeline finish. Herringbone in soft
drabs and browns so interviewer that
one can scarcely pick out any one color
makes very stylish suits.
There are many slight differences in

New Telephone Company's Agents State

New Telephone Company's Agents State
That Work Will Be Started Soon.
The people of the city are getting
decidedly weary of the tactics of the
Independent Telephone company and
although weeks have passed since the
company was organized nothing has
been done to put in the rev exchange
and the air castles which were built by
some of the officers of the company are
being regarded as pipe dreams by many
people of the city. One of the agents
of the company stated today that the
materials for the new exchange had
been purchased and that they are now
being shipped to Kenosha. He claimed
further that the work on the installa-
ton of the exchange would start next
week and that the exchange would be
put in in very short order. People
who have visited the plant owned by
the company at Winthrop Harbor state
that instruments are now being made
for the Kenosha exchange.
Of course it will make little differ
ence to the people of the city whether
the exchange is started or not as the
people have invested no money IN the
concern and the company has placed
forfeiture bond with the city clerk.
It is beginning to look, however, as if
the city and some of the people favor
ing a new system Of telephones had
been hoodwinked by some of the
smooth workers for the Bell Telephone
company. AT any rate the agitation
has had its effect and the Wisconsin
company has spent a great deal of
money in putting new 'phones in the
city.

pears to be adverse to the countys
giving the amount is the town Of

commissioners an effort would be
made by the Waitsburg people to-
raise the required amount by sub

meeting with good success. All the
lists will be completed by the latter

fuse to make the appropriation. The

ing the 100000 has been submittea
by the board to County Attorney Will

MRS HARRIS
is HELD.
MAGISTRATE GORDON GIVES HEH
a HEARINc. DECIDES no HOLD
HER AND FIXES BOND AZ
FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS.

Matte Harris. colored. was given a
hearing Saturday morning At O'Clock
in Squire Samuel W. Gortlon's court on
the charge of fatally shooting John
odenshaw, white man, near her home
at the junction at an early hour Thurs.
day morning. At the conclusion of the
taking of testimony in the case, the
magistrate decided TO hold her for the
grand jury and fixed her bond Mt 500
She gave it and was released.
Among the witnesses was Robert Cal
Ian, who was in her home at the time
of the shooting. He testified that he
saw her do the shooting and heard a
man cry four or 1--we times, 90, my Godi''
He stated that the fellow was about half
way between her home and Taylor's
store and that he ran toward the juno
ton hotel after, the shooting. oden-
shaw being found at that hotel shortly
afterward by policeman, the inference
ia that he is the same person the coll
ored woman shot.
From the evidence in the case the only
thing that prompted the woman to shoot
was the belief that the man was trying
to steal her chickens. She was aroused
by their squawks and took the gun from
its accustomed place and shot at the fell
low. with the result that he now lies
dead
