FIRE AT oskALoosA.
Baptist Parsonage Burned and Mrs
Neff Slightly Injured.


Special to Times Republican.
Oskaloosa, Oct. at about 3:45
yesterday afternoon fire broke out In
the Baptist parsonage at 200 South
Third street, occupied by Mrs. Neff.
The flames were first discovered by
one of Mrs. Neff's sons, who was play
ing with neighbor boy in shed adj
joining the house. Mrs Neff had just
few minutes before locked the doors
and had lain down for rest, and
when told Of the flames became so
excited that she did not think to un-
lock the door and call for assistance.
Soon, however she regained presence
of mind enough to turn In the fire
alarm In about three minutes after
the alarm had been turned in. the fire
department arrived upon the scene TO
find the flames under strong Roadway.
After about half an hour of fighting
in spite Of the strong wind, which
greatly aided in spreading the flames,
the firemen succeeded in getting the
fire under control.
AS no one was around when the
flames started, 1t is uncertain as to the
cause Of the fire. but it is thought
that a spark from cigaret that one
of the boys In the shed had, was car
ried to a strawpile near the house.
hence to the house. With the excep-
ton of Mrs. Neff, whose hair was badly
singed in trying to extinguish the
flames, no one was injured. The loss
was fully covered by insurance.

TO METER PHONES
Martin Company at Webster City Pro-
pose 10 Place Meters on Their TeIe-
phones In the Residence District
Neiahbors Bother the Patrons.

Special to Times Republican.
Webster City, Oct 9.-Because of
the annoyance by neighbors running
into the patrons phones into the resi-
dence district and on the rural routes
the Martin Telephone Company has
decided to place meters an all phones
except in the business district The
idea Is to register the number of calls
used by each patron and to protect the
patron from a certain class of his
friends who insist on coming into his
home and making free use of tfs
phone. AS a general thing users OF
phones are subjected to much annoy
ance by reason of people calling them
up and asking them to step across the
street to call Mr. A, who has no phone,
to come over and talk with them.
Object Of the Meter.
The object of putting the meters on
the residence phones is to limit the
number of calls which may be made IN
the course of a. year and to make an
extra charge for all calls, over this
number. Mr.. Martin has as yet not
decided upon the number of calls to be
allowed residence patrons but it will
be large enough number to accom-
,modate the average patron. Then
when the neighbors come in to use
the patrons phone they will have to
pay for it, and the chances are they
will not come so often. Mr. Martin
says he has been besieged with patrons
who ask him to keep their neighbors
from bothering them for the use Of the
phone. The patron, as usual thing
does not want to ask his neighbors tet
desist from the use Of the phone an6
thus create bad feeling between ths-
two He Is perfectly willing, however
that the telephone company take sons
action which will result in stopping
this annoyance. In order to limit the;
use of the phone to the man who pays
for it, the Martin company has made.
a large purchase of meters for the use
Of residence and rural patrons. The.
meter system is an innovation in tele-
phone circles but is being largely
adopted in the cities, and In time will
spread to the smaller places.
