TELEPHONE PROPOSAL.
An Instance Which Illustrates the
Danger of Getting Things
Mixed.

A Chicago banker, so the paper
says, recently made a proposal of
marriage to lady in Cadiz, o., over
the long-distance telephone, and re-
ceived an acceptance of his proposal
in the same manner. 1t worked all
right in this instance, and they will
soon be married, no doubt, and live
happy ever after, says the Los Angeles
Herald.
But think of the risks man runs
when he proposes over the telephone.
He might get the wrong party. by mis-
take, and being unaware of it propose
to the wrong party. 1t requires no
strain on the imagination to see
where that would land him.
That, however, is not where the
great danger lies. Well assume that
he already has got the right party,
and the first greetings are over, and
he has again treasured her on the
subject of his undying love, and she
has come back at him, good and
strong, with an ayowal of her great
faith in him, and some expressions of
unbounded affection. That's all over
with, remember, and he is trying to
think what to say next, and just about
at the point of risking all, and saying
the fateful words. He clears his
throat and says: "Er-ahemi-Clara,
L"
"Bur-r-r-r-r-r-r-rup!" goes the tele-
phone. Then a strange, girlish voice
comes; a voice that he has never
heard before. 1t says: did you get
the party you asked for?"
Hang it all; no, 1 hadn't asked her
yet-that is-no, yes, l mean-what
the devil is it to you, anyhow"
"I asked if you got your party?"
The tone is a trif1e resentful.

her. all right-don't cut me off again"

And that might be the end of it all.

nent advertisement for them.

chased or work done, issues a ticket
emitting the holder to one vote. The

ties to one vote, twenty cents to two
votes. fifty cents to five votes, one
dollar to zen votes. five dollars to fiji
ty votes, and so on. These tickets
should be filed out in ink or indelible
pencil, the merchant filing in amount
of purchase and number of votes, the
customer filling in for which church,
lodge or other organization the vote
is to be cast and name of voter. There
must be no erasure or alterations on
the tickets. They al only be hadfrom

Opera House Improvements.

The M. Il. Church has leased
from s. E. Patton for twelve
months the south side of the
lower floor of the opera house,
and are beginning at once to fix
it upforchurch purposes. When
completed according to their
present intentions they will have
a most comfortable and conven-
lent room for their services.
The school board has also SUBJ
leased from the church two rooms
which will be used for school
purposes. Sometime ago the
schoolboard attempted to lease
a part of the lower floor of the
opera house for school purposes
but. they found that the expense
of getting up same to make it fit
for school purposes would be far
in excess of the vaiue of the rent
al for the time that they could
use it. Propositions were also
made for the rental of part of
the second and third stories but
on account of the difficulty in
heating the auditorium, and the
danger OF FIRE in having children
in the upper story all these plans
were with good judgement aban-
doned.
By the present arrangement
both the church and the school
win have pleasant rooms and
each at moderate cost.

An official announcement OF the
resignation of Secretary OF Wal
Root has come from Oyster Bay to-
gether with thu Information that
Judge Taft Governor General of
the Philippines, will be Mr.. Roots
successor and that Vice Governor
Luke e. Wright of Tennessee will
be Judge Taft's as head
of the Philippine Commission. The
retirement of Secretary Root will
prove a source Of regret to many b4,
sides the President for all who have
come in contact with the retiring
Secretary have appreciated that,
regardless of their attitude towards
the policy of the administration, Mr..
Root has performed his duties with
exceptional ability and ear~nestness.
His accomplishment Of the general
staff policy in the army and the vir-
tual restoration of peace in the
PHILIPPINES, together with his success
full administration of the affairs of
Cuba will remain as a monument to
an exceptionally successful and able
administration of an important de-
partment under circumstances, at
times, the most trying.
Now that the postofice investiga-
ton is nearing an end, prominent
republican politicians are Fastening
to Oyster Bay to exert their inflG-
enec on the President to prevent full
publication of Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Bristow's re-
port. Just what answer the Presil,
dent is making to these appeals can
not be learned in Washington, but
it is known that before leaving for
Oyster Bay Mr.. Roosevelt pledged
his word that the entire report
would be made public when the in
vestigation was completed and that
no guilty person should be- shielded.
1t is known that the report places
in a most unfavorable light many pol
iticians, who, because of the statute
of limitationsof because of the clev-
with which they covered up
their tracks, have no been prose-
cuted, and it is supposed to be the
friends of these who are pleading
with the PRESIDENT to suppress the
facts. 1t is believed, however, that
the President will remember the ext
of Postmaster General
Payne in attempting TO suppress Mr..
Bristow's reply to the Tulloch
charges and will profit by that un-
blunder. That the public
will lev be satisfied until the full
report has been made public and
it will regard any attempt at
suppression by the administration
as a prima facie evidence of guilt
Is evident from the expressions of
the few editors who have already
learned of the attempt to that end.
