a great amount of play allowed for gov
eminent red tape. Usually the post

time to decide upon the eligibility of con-
testants but for once they must sacrifice
some of their dignity for speed. How
ever, Mr.. Munro did not appear to think
that there would be any difficulty on this
score, he stating to the Review that he
had no doubt but that the papers would
be returned several days before the time
set fol the free delivery to begin.

New Night Service.

On Friday, May 1st, the Minnesota
Central Telephone company insugurated
a new night service at the New Ulm ex-
change. Heretofore an operator has been
kept in the central Office all night but
he has not been required to be on duty
during the whole time. In future he will
be expected to remain at the switchboard
constantly and the service will thus be
greatly improved, enabling subscribers
to obtain any connection desired at all
times.
